Spend Christmas Planning Search
for Others Of Family.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 24-Two SIS
tiers, separated in infancy % years ago
at an orphanage exchange, met here In
the Union Station.
Mrs. Roux, 90. Of Glen Cove. Long
Island, and Mrs. Margaret Fowley OF
Chicago were placed In the New York
Founding Hospital when their mother
died.
Not until Mrs. Roux went to the
orphanage this Summer to adopt a
baby did either know she had a near
relative living. Mrs. Roux learned
from the records that her sister Mar
garet had been adopted by Mrs. Annie
Dalton Of Cleveland.
Then began a search which ended
today when they rushed toward each
other through the station and en-
hraced.
They left the station to spend Christ
mas together at Mrs. Fowley's home
and plan a search for another sister
and a brother, whose existence the
orphanage records revealed.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, December 24-El
Universal Grafico editorially attacked
the bill before the United States Con-
gress which would provide $50 900 for
the families Of two Mexican students
killed in June, 1881, at Ardmore, Okla.
The students. relatives Of former
President Pascual Ortiz Rubio, were
Emilio Ortiz Rubio and Manuel Gomez.
They were shot by deputy sheriffs while
they were returning to Mexico from
school In the United States.
The newspaper editorial says the sum
proposed was contemplate and negli-
gible." 1t asserted that congressional
discussion Of the bill ha'. revealed that
Americans placed more value on the
lives of their nationals than on the lives
OF Latin Americans.
II the students had come from humble
families, the editorial continued. the
killers probably would have been
thanked for the death Of two more
"greasers.

To the Skeptical it may be ex-
planned that the spillproof spoon will
hold more than a spoonful without
spilling. 1t looks like an ordinary
spoon but is plated with chromium
which has relatively small attraction
for fluids and does not materially af-
feet the meniscus or surface tension
which makes raindrops round. Thus,
the fluid in the spoon retains a ro-
tundity which makes it more difficult
to spill.

New SatisfactiOns

Few manifestations of civic pride
are more commcndable than that
which goes under the classification OF
hometown spirit.
And If you are discussing North
Dakota, give credit for All abundance
OF that spirit to the Halliday Pro-
moter, published in Dunn county.
The slogan of the village is Its a
Privilege to Live in Halliday" which
is unique in itself, and the latest evil
dence of the fact is that no damage
was done there on Halloween. Com
menting on this fact, The Promoter
says:
This kind of action, taken by
the young folks of our town, is
keenly appreciated by the citizens.
This, we believe, is the first time
in the history of any town in
these United States when. OH Hal
loWe'en, nothing was disturbed.
This is only one of the many priv
ileges accorded people living in
Halliday"
That Is the kind of spirit which
makes one proud of North Dakota
and the people on its farms and in
its villages. 1t represents a desire
and determination to brighten the
corner in which the citizen happens
to find himself, rather than concen-
tration OH dreams for the future.
Halliday is to be congratulated on
the good behavior of it's children but
even more SO upon the ability of its
adults to recognize the boon and their
desire to encourage the young folks
in their efforts to meet high
standard.
And the Halliday editor reminds
us-Bismarck, too, can be proud of
the conduct of its children ON Hal
lowe'en. Maybe we had better extend
the congratulation to all of the chill
dren of North Dakota, belated as the
expression may be.

Gordon and the fiddler-snapping his
fingers. keeping time on his glass. :
And down in the snug. colorful
Flamenco cafe, Marquita and all the
rest came on-at first nervous, fear
full.
I sat down across from the great
Escudero. After all, he had been d
gypsy street lad in Barcelona; he had
tapped his heels up from the gutter
to the heights. Surely he would un-
derstand. So explained how every

Child Plays With Dog
Our IA months old baby likes to
play with the dog. Is it harmful?
MRS. w. H.
Answer-Dogs sometimes harbor a
tapeworm (Tenia echinococcus), the
eggs of which may be present in the
dogs saliva. If the dog ticks the
child'S face or hands, the child may
INCEST the tapeworm eggs and later
have echinOcoccuS cyst. Dogs or cats
are commonly infested with ordinary
Lumbricoides Ground worms) and the
eggs of these are readily transferred
to man by contamination of hands,
face or food or water with the saliva
of the dog. The only safe plan is to
see to it that the hands are carefully
washed with soap and water after
petting or handling dog or cat, before
the hand strays to mouth or lips.

Political Jobs Which Can Be Spared
New York Evening pcstl

INcW IOIk evening PCStb
One-third Of the political places in
The federal service, according to the
National Civil Service Reform league
could be eliminated as absolutely un-
necessary and probably would be
eliminated if they could net be used
as patronage. But when a reduction
IN the government service is made 1t
Is the employees who are under the
competitive rules that are dropped.
The political appointees stick. These
political places are also likely to be
cverpaid. The postmaster at Bush
nell, Fla, which has population of
200, receives salary of $1,000. The
postmaster at Baldwin Park, CAL,
which has a population of 500, re-
ceives $2,400. The postmaster at
Haynesville, La, which has popula-
ton Of 900, receives $4,000, and the
postmaster at Bladen, Neb, which has
a population of AS, receives $2,700. If
these postnaStefS were in the CON-
petitiye service instead of being po-
Itical figures their salaries would be
around half of these amounts, If, in
deed, the places themselves were not
abolished as superfluous. More than
$4,000 federal positions are available
for political appointees upon change
Of administration. The salaries at
tached to these positions total more
than $i25. 000, 900. Millions of dollars
could be saved every year by the
elimination of such Of these places as
are not needed. Here is an oppor-
tlnity for real and stable stroke on
behalf of economy and efficiency in
the national government.

New York, Nov. lin the little
dressing rooms of snug, colorful
Spanish cafe, tucked away on Green
wich Village side street, nerves were
taut. The fiery, pint-sized Marquita,
who usually clicked her heels so de-
family against the cabaret floor, was
threatening to develop nerves. SO
were the other dancers and singers.
For word had crept downtown that
the famous Escudero, worlds greatest
exponent of the Flamencan dances
and an international favorite, was
going Summing" and would come by
with his encourage, sometime during
the night. With the applause of huge
and fashionable audiences still ring
ing, while he made his arrogant and
whimsical strutting exit, Escudero was
planning to see what his fellow coun-
trymen were doing in America.
That self-ccnsciousness which comes
