Significant Silk

A New York relief agency, trying
to help girls looking for jobs, Is buy
ing silk stockings for its wards, &C
cording to recent news dispatch.
A decade or two ago such a bit OF
news would have indicated most
profound and irresponsible bit Of
mismanagement. Today 1t merely
shows that the relief workers have
good sense.
A girl who is looking for q job must
be dressed neatly: and nowadays be-
ing neatly dressed, for a woman,
means--among other things - the
wearing Of silk stockings.
Lament the fact as we may, it
nevertheless is true that silk stock
ings are just about necessity, now,
and not luxury.
And the fact is q significant meas
ure Of the way in which living stand
ards have changed in the last few
years.

Rights of Parents Bring Duties,
Ton

An Ohio court has ruled that a
mother who voluntarily gives up her
claim to her baby has no right to
come back later and reclaim 1t. 1t
has held that the rights OF foster
parents can be greater than those Of
actual flesh and blood.
It makes an interesting case. be-
cause it goes in the opposite direction
to most of our sentimental concep-
lions OF the rights OF parenthood.
The woman In question bore a girl
four years ago. The mother was In
poor circumstances financially, the
childs health was bad: and when the
youngster was about year and q
half old, the mother placed 1t In q
public institution for care.
Then the mother dropped out OF
the picture. And the baby girl was
adopted by man and woman who
raised the child as their own. Her
health was built up and she was made
happy; she came to love her foster
parents as her own, and she lost her
memory Of her real mother.
Finally, not long ago, the real
mother returned and demanded that
the child be given back to her. The
foster-parents refused to comply. So
the mother went into court, asked to
have the adoption set aside, and re-
guessed that the child be delivered
into her custody.
After hearing the evidence, the
court refused to act. It ruled that
the mother had forfeited her right to
the child. and that the youngsters
best interests would be served by
leaving it In the home 1t now oocu-
pies.
We frequently fall into the assump-
ton that the physical tie which ex-
lists between a mother and a child
can be stronger than any other con-
sideration. In this connection. we
talk sentimentally about the bond"
that must exist, and we have good
deal to say about the rights OF par
ents.
What we often forget IS the fact
that rights are accompanied by duties,
and that 1t takes more than simple
physical relationship to forge an en-
during bond.
The mere fact that we bring
child into the world gives us very
little claim on the child. Our Job
only begins then.
II circumstances or our own de-
fects keep us from accomplishing that
job, all we can do is turn it over to
someone who will perform 1t. II we
fail in our duties. our rights lapse.
Clear away the traditional cloud Of
sentiment, and there seems little rea-
son to quarrel with this Ohio courts
decision.

THE PHYSIOLOGY OF FAT

Every one knows that OIL or Tat Is
q better fuel than potato or white Of
egg. Combustion Of given weight,
say a gram (about one-third of a
teaSpoonfuD of fat or oil yields 81
calories, as compared with calories
from q gram Of starch or sugar and
1 calories from a gram Of egg white
or protein. (as In cheese or lean meat.
Oils or fats in food are first emulsi-
fled into chyle in the small intestine.
The chyle is absorbed by lacteals, car
ried to the forgive me, old timers)
receptaculum chylae and the great
thoracic duct which pours 1t directly
into the blood Of the internal jugular
vein In the neck. Thus 1t mixes with
the blood in the veins and is carried
straight to the heart, pumped thru
the lungs, back to the left side Of the
heart and thence sent thru the whole
circulation.
For hours after . meal the blood
stream contains chyle fat. A specimen
Of blood taken within eight hours
after meal may be centrifugalized
and the fat will collect at the top In
the form Of cream-healthy blood
containing perhaps one-half Of one
per cent fat. In many disease con-
ditions, notably alcoholism, diabetes,
tuberculosis and chronic nephrttis,
there is an excess OF fat present in
the blood. No one seems to know
what significance this may have. But
never mind about that. Just remem-
Der that any oil or fat that can be
digested and absorbed is conveyed
thru the route described, and as it
circulateS thru the body in the blood
the tissues or organs that can use 1t
pick out what they want. And any
that is not needed for fuel Is laid
away here and there as reserve. For
instance the pad OF simultaneous tat

prolonged famine, fasting, starvation.
the body gradually burns up all the
stored fat, both that worn as blan-
ket pad under the skin, and that
wrapped around muscles and packed
around various organs, such as the
kidneys.
Returning to my little controversy

me to say I never came across

even the standard anatomy textbook
description Of such vessels is suspi-
ciously vague. In short I venture the
absurd conjecture-and I hope some
scientific mentor will stop me II I'm
wrong-that Emphatic vessels are like
capillaries- imaginary. ! am fairly
confident that capillary blood vessels
do not exist. that the so-called captl'

U. S. Must Prepare for
Neutrality

Anyone who bothers to look at the
state of affairs in Europe these days
must feel inclined to thank God for
the Atlantic ocean.
Not even in the first months Of 1914
was there more widespread expecta-
ton of general European war at
an early date. Almost no one now
seems to doubt that a war Is COM
ing; the only question seems to be,
"When?"
The Atlantic ocean is wide, and
this continent IS physically far re-
moved from the scene Of these Euro
pean troubles. But the distance isn't
as great as 1t might be. for all that.
Canada. in 1914, and the United
States, in 1917, learned that they

Nice Weather
(Hettinger County Herald)

(Hettinger County Herald)
A black winter but lean graveyard
A winter with long hours Of sum
shine. little or no snow, and less sick
ness than has been known in this
section for years.
A winter when clear bracing air,
sunercharged ozone, makes the pedes-
trian throw back his shoulders, breathe
deeply, and exclaim to each neigh
Dor he meets, isn't this glorious
weather."
It Is warm In the more southern
c!imes and the sun shines brightly In
other states, but no spot In the world
can furnish just the clear, pure quail
i.y Of ozone which rests lightly above
the Missouri Slope country, and when
m open winter comes, such as We
have enjoyed in 1884. no place could
be more healthful, delightful.
OF course we cannot guarantee there
will not be more cold weather before
the winter Is through, and snow may
come. The thought Of North Da-
kota blizzard may make our former
residents IN California shiver, but not
SO much as they did few times dur
ing the past summer when shaken by
earthquakes. And II the Herald gave
away free copies for each day it rains
curing the winter as does the daily
st. Petersburg, Florida, there would
have been several free issues during
the 1894 season at New England. The
wind blows here occasionally, more
often perhaps than In Florida, but we
know nothing OF the terrific typhoons
which blow In off the Atlantic In that
winter playground.
This winter the Lord tempered the
wind to the shorn lamb, the shaggy
horses on the prairie, the cows on the
range.
The winter OF 1894. thus far, has
been wonderful time on the Missouri
Slope. Daily men are working on
CWA projects. Crews spread gravel
day after day. It was not too cold
for cement work at the New England
school. Not all employed had over
shoes. Not all would have worn
them during this mild weather.
The streets at New England are
dry. Many appear day after day
without overcoats and rubbers. Kids
play baseball and marbles. The
weather may be . bit unusual but it
is nice.
And the best part of this nice
weather is that 1t Is appreciated.
Farmers who have not too much feed
a:e grateful for the open winter. Cars
travel on all roads without chains.
There may be storms before spring,
weather that will be hard on stock
caught on the open prairie. Drifts
nay be piled high before the ball sea-
son opens, but the winter has been
wonderful thus far. New England
people read Of blocked reads In the
ncrthern and eastern parts Of the
state and rejoice anew under the
warm rays Of the brilliant February
sun day after day.

AWARD CONTRACTS
FOR z PARK BRIDGES
Two Others Under Construction
in Rock Creek-Another
Planned.

The award of contracts for two new
bridges in Rock Greek Park was an
nounced by C. Marshall Finnan,
superintendent of the National Capt.
tai Parks. For the Rolling Meadow
footbridge the Government will pay
the Bright Sheperd Co, Inc, $4,7l7.
The same concern won the award
for construction Of the Riley Spring
bride path bridge for $7,525. This
construction is made possible through
Public Works Administration al
lotment for the rebuilding Of bridges
damaged by storms last year.
Finnan said two bridges In Rock
Greek Park-one below the Shoreham
Hotel and the other at the Bluffs
are now under construction.
Plans are now being prepared for
a bride bridge at the District line at
the north end Of the park and work
on this is expected to start shortly.
This job will finish the bridge pro-
gram for the park.
