Following the passage
Of resolutions by two Mon
tana oil and gas ass0oi-
atoms, Senator Thomas J.
Walsh has come 20 the aid
Of Montana natural gaa
producers by securing the
passage In Congress Of q
bin which bars Canadian
gas from competition in
Montana markets.
Full text Of the bill, S. 1914,
was received here this week
by interested operators and q
study Of rs contents reveals
that it is much more stringent
than was originally believed.
Pipeline Banned
It prohibits the construction
of any pipeline to carry gas
from C1nada into the United
States, with the provision that
such lines may be constructed
upon proof that such eohstruc.
ticn is necessary in the public
interest.
Since Montana has a tremen-
dous amount Of proven gas ae-
reage awaiting development,
the measure obviously pre-
eludes entry of Canadian gas
into this state.
Title Of Measure
Title Of the measure is "a
bin to provide for the issuance
# permits for the construction
If pipe lines for the importa-
ion into the United States Of
natural or artificial gas. "

YOUR CHILDREN.
wNlpRobe,7yRa11ou
I0lo3IBY NfA SERVICE, INC (

Once upon a time I passed on to my readers the standard schedule for sleep baby's sleep-or as much of q worked -out standard as we possess.
 Since then I don't know how many mothers have told me that their children didn't sleep that way at all, or anything like it.
 Heigh-ho! Are any two people alike-even babies? Of course not. But I think that if all these babies were perfectly well and their daily program regulated. their mothers would have found less deviation from the standard than they did.
 For as a matter of fact we fit babies to our time and not our selves to them. If we could and would, I think we could get th.s sleeping game down to a real sys- tenn.
 One thing that frequently makes babies ,vakeful at night is that they are hungry. Fed at six or sevnn o'clock trey are put to bed and ex- pected to go until morning without more food. If the feeding schedule is arranged so that there can be an early evening feeding. and then at ten can he fed without rousing him too much to do so, he will be very likely to sleep straight through un- til daylight or after.
 He mlst be warm enough. too. We know ourselves what it Is to be waketul if we get too cool in the night. And he must be feeling good" ] know of no better word. No wrinkles, no clammy sheets, no .crafed places no anything. His daytime ciothes should be taken of before te's put to bed and his regu- lar nightie put on. Everyone sleers better in clean comfortable night clothes.
 Sleeping Bags Popular.
 And don't pin him up too tight Unless the weather is bitter cold l should let his feet and legs go bare His warm uightie should be made long. and drawstring run around the hem if you like. but let his legs have room. And don't pin his daiper tight, nor the bed clothes down like plaster boards. That is why sleep- bags are becoming so popular. In a nice loose warm blanket-bag he Cd move all he likes and still he cover ed. But sleeping bags cannot be inaugure;ed all at once if baby has been accustomed to waving his arms about, flor to sucking his thumb, because he won't be able to get his hands 10 his face once he's buttoned up in 1t. It is just another case of catching him young.
 Spring will soon be here and sleeping bag time will be past. In summer 'he reverse is the case. A baby cannot sleep if he is too warm.
 Try to get the baby accustomed to ordinary house noises through the day; hut we owe it to him not to hammer or slam doors or shout when he's slumbering day or night. Who wouldn't waken under such shocks? And once awake he proh- ably won't go to sleep again. He'll be cross the rest of the day too.
 Don't expect him to sleep all the time but don't worry if he does. 4 new baby sleeps about twenty hours a day. a six months baby about six teen of seventeen. Maps should Ue early enough not to interfere with his early bedtime at night.

to make her confession seemed rath- CT shoddy by the new bravery that she Haunted forth.
 But you don't know anything about that! You're safe {. your husband loves you you don't have to worry about where your next meals coming from. You're happy"
 Each word seemed to sting Cor rinne in the face, quite as much as though Madeline had reached out and slapped her. She couldn't look at Harry. And Mabel had said that she was happy. Happy. But no one must know that her own heart was as strangely empty and quivering and suffering as that of the girl with the defiant, unafraid eyes.
 But why did Sybil Lester mar ry Clifford?" Corrine asked then. Her eyes met Harry's and they were asking and acknowledging the same question.
 Well go to my lawyeEs,' Har- ry repeated to the girl. Ut won't take long to make q financial ar engagement. I'd like this thing set tied"
 Then I'll just leave ." Cor rinne began, but Harry interrupt ed.
 You will come, too," he said de- liberately.
 Corrinne had a curious sensation, as she entered the reception room of Thornton. Curtis and Thornton, that she had come back to an old familiar trysting place after many years. The spot was still the same. But the people had changed Sue was gone. And Jack was gone. Judge Thornton looked older and more hagSal Mrs. Thornton had tiny lines etched around her mouth.
 A through the discussion Cor rinne sat very quietly. When Ma belline left them at the door of the office, after the transaction, Cor rinne pushed her hands more deep ly into her pockets and the fingers of her right han1 closed over the clinging. silky hair of the wig. She tossed her head and tried to make her voice very light and flippant.
 'I don't think you will need me any longer, will you. Harry? I'll just go then" She laughed, but the laughter was eerie and as thin as thistledown. But you see that wasn't involved now, don't you?"

"Clifford is what? ?" Corrinne asked very gently. Far down in the others eyes she caught the ghost of hurt ,. the hopeless kind of ghost that stalked when air castles went slip ping quietly to the ground and no one else knew that they had fallen.
 Clifford is married to that Les- ter creature!"
 The words shot out like the steady stream of bullets from a machine gun.
 "Sybil Lester?" Harry asked 1t.
 "Yes, the one that holds her head up and walks as though her grand- father planted the tree that gave Eve the idea for applesauce. They Were married the other day but just got a letter from Clifford aft CT lunch to-day"
 But you didn't you couldn't have liked Clifford we'll enough to care!" Corrinne said without think ing. You were just playing |. with him."
 The girl shook her head and her eyes were queer. "Women are strange creatures When we decide we like man well enough to call 1t love we can't help ourselves. Yes, l guess I was pretty strong for the kid. l don't care who knows it.''
 She threw her head back proud ly and the pride that she sacrificed

safe return of their dear friend.
 They laughed, they talked, they slapped one another's shoulders Benny brandishec his silver-headed cane with a rakish air. and Jenky put the imported lace collar on over her house dress just to prove her festival spirit. and Bard, beside Ginger. cautioned her not to imbibe to freely of the Italian grape juice which was a bit different in effect from regular American. The gelo tried out the redeemed violin and found 1t as good as new, Benito burst into irrepressible song.
 "Who once has kissed it
 This magic brink
 Cannot resist 1t
 Ever must drink"
 And as the spontaneous applause of his friends elevated still higher both his pride and his blood-pres- sure, he swept grandly into the Italian.
 "chi alresca ha morse
 Del diti rambo Spavaldo e strambo
 Beva con te.'
 Isn't it fun, Bard ?'' whispered Ginger happily. Isn't everything nicer"
 "Everything's nicer than just plain nice," he declared extrava- gantly. "Everything's perfect. It's just plain heaven"
 And they smiled into each others eyes and believed 1t.
 But Benito, for all his joy in this reunion with his friends, did not forget that he had other inter- ests around the place. and in few minutes he wand cred out alone.
 The others, watching affection ately from the windows. saw him proceed slowly from bird-house to bird-house, shaking his head regret fully for those that continued empty, chirruping joyously to those ants. He had brought presents for them, too, a small glass water bowl for each house and a bag of Canada peas, with small can of hemp seed as a special treat.
 Presently, from far off in the woods they heard his great voice.
 Come, look!" he shouted. Quick, come, look!"
 Ginger and Bard. to please him. ran down the wood path; hand in hand, and presently came up to him, dancing immensely but noise- lessly beside the hedge.
 Look, see!" he chortled. "See what I got in this nest in the hedge! Thrushes, two thrushes, a Mrs and MT. Look-two eggs! l like thrushes. You know what? I'm going to build me big house down by the oat-landing. Maybe some river birds will fly there and raise little river birds, and we'll make 1t bird reservation. like water birds. They're sensible"
 Ginger patted his hand affection ately.
 "oh, Benito." she said fondly. .'my great big blessing! I'm awfully glad you came back. don't see how we could ever get along with out you"
 "A simple, sweet-hearted son of the soil, that's what he is" com mented Bard, as they left him to continue his happy tour of the premises.
 Benito himself was very fond of reiterating that he was a son of the soil. and so he was indeed. He loved the rich scent of loamy earth, loved the very sight of tender green things shooting tiny tendrils above the soft sod, loved all the throaty, heart-full sounds of out-of-doors, the flutter of wings, the batter of scampering wild feet, the chirp, or peep, or carol of little woodland voices.
 A son of the soil, but not so sim pie and sweet-hearted as would seem.
