The Denver conference is being

The newspapers as usual are
full OF inaccurate guesseS as to
what the various delegations will
dc. There seems to be division
OF opinion in the Denver press.
One portion points to every Incl
dent as proof that the conference
will blow UP without agreement.
The other sees sure signs OF
successful outcome. Those who
are themselves participating In
the conference are unable at this
time Thursday afternoon) to
make an intelligent prediction.
We all hope for the best.
This conference is little more
formal, perhaps, than the many
three-state conferences in which
we have engaged. However. there
is but little difference in the "at-
mosphere" or the arguments from

at the Los Angeles conferences,

between California Arizona and Nevada will in all proba-

fact that both California Arizona have put their de-

Neither California afford to stand In

unjust demands. Their problems being studied by
men of ability and experience when these decide
on division of water which is fair to both states they
will have to agree the respect and confidence of

And so they did.
Why am I saying this?
Because it Is true.
On January IL, 1927, the Senate
OF the United States laughed the
needs of the mothers and babies
OF America out Of court by con-
Quoting filibuster which re-.
pealed the Shepard.Towner Bill.
The Shepard.Towner Bill was
one OF the most civilized acts ever
passed by a progressive country.
1t guaranteed national protection
and service to maternity and i'm
fancy throughout the States. 1t
instructed the ignorant prospec-
tive mothers in country districts
the weary. frightened mothers of
the deserts and mountains and
prairies. It sent pamphlets to
those mothers telling them what
to do when their babies came and
during and after birth, 1t told
them about the proper food and
nursing. Very often such instruc.
ton was the only help which the
mother received during the awful
ordeal Of birth. It saved the lives
OF countless mothers and babies.
When this act was passed it
was hoped that 1t would remain
as a permanent testimony to the
wisdom and humanity OF the
American nation. But on Janu-
airy 1t was repealed without even
a decent argument. The Senate
talked It to death!

About three or four times a
year We give q public concert.
We generally wear white dresses.
The last two concerts we had we
wore evening dresses, the concert
being at night. Our next concert

I wish you would let me know
If 1t is proper to wear evening

them and some prefer white.

TT would be most Inappropriate
i for you to wear evening
dresses for your afternoon concert.
BY all means wear afternoon
dresses for an afternoon concert

one a simple, becoming dress Of
a color becoming to her. The
other day I heard a concert of
several young women and they
wore simple dresses of harmon
izing shades Of green, all wearing
a tulle scarf of the same shade
of lovely sea-green. 1t was most
effective, giving the artistic i'm.
preston of harmony with none
of the sometimes klonotonous eff
feet of all white.

emily he sighs and returns to his
work and begins to go through his
mail, and so comes upon his old
friend-the anonymous letter.
1t almost burns his fingers as it
sputters. There is indignation in it,
and denunciation, and damnation. And
there is stealth. One gets picture OF
