A Conservative Estimate

In checking over the possibilities fol

nine leaders Of that party issued 9
statement in which they asserted tho
party is sure to carry Is states, has
good prospects in 10 others, a fai,
chance in II more and "least prob
able but possible" in four.
North Dakota is listed in the fair
column and, judged on this basis, the
estimate would seem to be conserva-
tive. This state has cast its electoral
votes for a Democratic president be-
fore, having gone for Wilson in 1916,
and the presence of 10000 Democratic
voters at the polls last March offers
proof it could happen again.
Other states in the near northwest
are listed as possibilities by the DEM
ocrats. Montana qualities as an ex-
cellent prospect while Minnesota and
South Dakota are classed with North
Dakota in the fair column. Based on
present evidences of the political trend
the guess seems to be justified, al
though there's many slip twixt the
estimate and the election.

The Canada Council on Child and
Family Welfare has developed pre-

There is also a Canadian mothers
book, which quotes as one of the i'm

that it is advisable for woman to see
a doctor Immediately just as soon as
she knows that she is likely to have a
child.
When a prospective mother sud-
denly finds that her wedding ring is
getting too tight or that her shoes feel
too tight, or that her vision is becom-
ing blurred, she must realize that
these are danger signals-danger
not only for her own life
and health but also for that of the an

The warning is simply stated and
worthy of note. It reads:

The District Commissioners to-

the sign regulations, permitting
the carrying of signs on the
streets to advertise bona fide
labor disputes.
The amendment has been un-

following hearings held at the re-
quest of the Fur Workers Union
and other labor organizations.
At the hearings, the Commis-
sioners indicated they had not
meant the regulation to prohibit
such signs, but under the Ian
guage of the ruling the signs were
held illegal.
The section originally provided
that no sign or banner should be
transported over public space ex-
cept to advertise the business of
the owner. The amendment
reads:
"The provisions of this sec
