CAN PARENTS BECOME TOO DE-
VOTED TO THEIR CHILDREN?

THEY do very frequently. They
L make things extremely difficult
for their children by not allowing
their personalities to develop. Little
Johnny must always be taken back
and forth to school a half mile away
while his chums walk His parents
cannot bear to think of his making
the journey unprotected. They do
not realize that Johnny knows the
others of his group consider him a
sissy" He may either resent it
or just take ii for granted that he is
different from other children. Often
it is the most devoted parents who
allow their own children the least
freedom. AS a result, the children
must have some one along to tell
them what to do in the simplest of
1ife's situations.

Morse Portrait Painter
As Well as an Inventor

In 1889 President Van Buren, gave
audience to an artist who had asked
to demonstrate a new development
in science, writes correspondent
to the Kansas City Star. Mr.. Van
Buren, and his cabinet, Chairman
Smith of the house committee on
commerce, and other high officials
listened in aIhazement while Sam
uel Finley Breese Morse explained
the working Of his electromagnetic
; telegraph.
II was not the first time this man
had demonstrated something in
Washington. Fifteen years earlier
he exhibited his paintings of the
Hall of the House of Representa-
tives." Every one admired the
eight by nine foot canvas. It was
pronounced a splendid picture by
the members of the house whose
portraits it included. But congress
declined to fulfill the painters hope
that it be purchased and hung. in
the Capitol.
What a disappointment this was
to Morse can be understood when
one considers the enthusiasm and
energy with which he executed the
work. He had been painting por-
traits of private persons at 500
apiece for the needed income, but
he had ambitions to DO creative
work worthy of a painter of original
power. Accordingly he conceived
the idea of large picture of the
house of representatives, presenting
view of the chamber and portraits
of individual members. For this
purpose he went to Washington in
November, 1921, and was kindly re-
ceived by President Monroe, who
encourage his grand undertaking
and extended him every facility.

LIMA, Peru, May 15.-An Indian
girl said by physicians to be 5 years
old has given birth to a 6-pound
baby at the Lima Maternity Hos
pital-to the amaZement of go
physician witnesses.
The baby, boy, was delivered in
a 35-minute CaeSarean operation
yesterday morning. The infant was
said to be well-formed and today
both the child and his mother were
reported by the hospital to be in
excellent condition.
The Caesarean was performed by
DR.. Gerardo Lozada and DR.. Ale
gandro Busalleu and among the so
spectators was a commission of
physicians preparing a report on
the amazing case of precocious
motherhood.
The child mother, Lima Medina,
was born September %, 1884, &C =
cording to her parents, and that is
the date on her birth certificate.
But DR.. Hipolito Larrabure, chief
surgeon and director of the Lima
Maternity Hospital said the birth
certificate apparently was in error
because Lima still has her milk teeth
and the molars are Just emerging

than but under years of age.
DR.. Larrabure believed this calcu-
lation was more reliable than the
birth certificate which would make
her years months and 3 weeks
old
After the birth DR.. Larrabure re-
counted the history of the case,
which had been in medical hands
for several weeks.
The girl is one of the children Of
an Indian farming family living near
Pisco, a cotton port south of Lima
A few weeks ago her mother brought
her into the hospital at Pisco for
examination. believing the child had

an abdominal tumor. DR.. Lozada,
one of the attending physicians at
yesterdays operation, found her to
be pregnant.
'LoZada had the surprise of his
life when he found Lima was in an
advanced state of pregnancy" DR..
Larrabure said.
He said it had been impossible to
determine who had assaulted the
little girl.
The mother reported that Lima
started to menstruate when she was
only 3 months old, continuing regu-
larly until August, 1898. Told that
the child was pregnant, the mother
voiced indian superstitions.
Gynecologists feared that natural
delivery of the baby would be too
dangerous, If not impossible, for the
little girl and so decided to operate
after eight and one-half months of
pregnancy.
At st. Louis, Mo-, where he was
attending the annual meeting of
the American Medical Association,
DR.. Morris Fishbein, editor of the
associations journal, declared, ut

to any British-Russian mutual as

Mr.. Chamberlain replied: THE
views of the Polish and Rumanian
governments have not been given

tude towards negotiations between
His Majesty's government and the
Soviet government are known both
as a result of visits of the Polish

Several days ago the office of
Sheriff K. o. Thompson received
capias from D. c. Coleman,
sheriff, of Dade county asking
that the local office arrest and
hold Roy Fisher, who was want
ed in Dade county on a charge of
grand larceny.
Deputy Sheriff Raymond Ma
loney was one of the force of de-
puties advised, and Immediately
started to investigate the matter.
After visiting several places on
the Keys, Raymond found a new
clue and this led him to the
capture of the wanted man.
He placed him under arrest and
last evening brought the young
prisoner to Key West and placed
him in the county Jail. Sheriff
Coleman was advised of the cap
ture and perfect Identification of
the prisoner.
After the preliilinaries had
been arranged it was decided
that the prisoner be taken to the
Dade and Monroe county line
and there turned over to a de-
putty who would be awaiting their

said. Their surprise was changed
to amazement when, in Key West
they went to a drug store to get
some ice cream, and were served
about 30c in a silver or silver
plated dish, for a dime. They
were respectfully asked if they
would care for SC ice-cream
rather than a 10c dish. Asking for

served with it for each of their
party, only to discover that it
was excellent and quite as good
in flavor as anything Miami or
Eustis had to offer.
They secured hotel accommo-

thoroughly appreciated the many
courtesies shown to them in your
splendid city. They returned to

ferent idea of Key West. and hav-
