and talked in normal tones. The
baby slept right on.
When he and his wife found a
responsible person who could take
care of the baby when they want
ed to go out of an evening, they
called her in.
Be Kind to Friends
One thing Kens baby-less friends
appreciated. The baby's belongings
weren't strewn all around the house,
and friends weren't forced to watch
while the baby's diapers were
changed on the living room couch.
The baby had a corner in her
parents room, lined with built-in
shelves which Ken had made. Her
possessions were kept there.
Kens friends were permitted to
take a look at the baby when
she was asleep, but weren't en-
couraged to hold her when she
woke up. "It just makes it harder
to get her to sleep again. argued
Mrs Jones. She gets used to at
tention. No rocking to sleep for
this child"
Sensible parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Jones. They have lot of fun with
the baby, but the child doesn't
absorb the household. She is part
of it.

Ken Jones was given to Saturday
night bats and Sunday morning
sleeping. He loved swing, and would
his photograph full blast for
nouIs at time. He hated routine.
Then Mrs Jones came home
from the hospital with a two
weeks old daughter. Friends of
the couple were all set to sympa-
thize with the new arrival. They
went around one Sunday, skep-
tically, to see how the little one was
doing.
Ken met them at the door with
white gauze mask over his nose.
He was feeding the baby The visi-
tors would please put masks over
their noses too.
Struck dumb, they looked on
while Ken gave the baby her
bottle in mastery fashion, then
tucked her up in her bassinet. He
had, he said, been up since o.
clock. What's more, he had retired
at IL the night before. Got to get
my sleep now" he grinned.
Ken was like new man. He had
realized that the only way to keep
a baby contented is through estab-
hshed intervals of feeding, bath
ing and sleeping The baby had to
proceed on schedule. He and his
wife couldn't run around all night
and be up at six to feed her So they
adjusted their life accordingly.
There's Limit
But when Ken's job changed
and he didn't get home until after
six at night he and his wife were
sensible enough to know that the
baby's schedule could be. advanced
an hour during the day, SO that
Ken could have some of the fun
of seeing his child awake. The
schedule was regular, but not in
| flexible.
Ken's friends didn't know it, but
before the baby's arrival, his wife
had kept track Of the time she
spent doing the household jobs. A
good baby book had given her an
idea how long it would take to dc
the routine jobs for the baby. She
had to do some readjusting, but
she planned how to do it before
the baby came.
Afterwards her house ran
smoothly She got tired, but she
didn't get harassed. Sensibly, she
learned to nap while the baby was
asleep in the afternoon.
Ken didn't stop playing his pho
nograph. He knew he couldn't keer
the baby wrapped in cotton WOO
against the world. She would have
to get used to a certain amount o.
noise. No tip toeing around tn,
house. His friends came and went

 Where Britain Stands
 London, July 5 - (U.P) - Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain an- nounced in the house of commons today that the British government will take any steps which may seem necessary to make its attitude abso- lutely clear on the Danzig problem.
 The prime minister's statement was taken to indicate that Britain, If necessary, would issue a direct warning to Fuehrer Adolf Hitler not to violate the status of Danzig nor the independence of Poland, perhaps in a formal note.
 There has been much talk of possible joint British French Polish note to Danzing regarding military preparations in the free state, but whether 1t would be issued depended on day to-day developments.
 Chamberlain made his statement in reply to question by Vyvyan Adams, conservative, who asked whether the prime minister would take some action, such as mobilizing the fleet, to impress the German government with Britains deter imitation to resist any aggressive so- lution of the Danzig problem.
 His Majesty's government will not fail to take any steps which seem to them necessary or desirable to make their attitude absolutely clear" Chamberlain replied. This already has been stated with precision in re- cent speeches by the minister's"
 Chamberlain and Viscount Hali- fox, foreign secretary, both said in recent speeches that Britain will meet force with force.

Still an active real estate oper- ator, Taylor has @ clear memory of the historic events in which he took part during lifetime spent in frontier settlements. His friends say he can dive from the higi, springboard as well as the average youth of 20
 The most interesting of his many stories is the tale of the shooting of Wild Bill Hickok, whose feats are part of the Wild West of tradi- ton and fiction, in Leadville, s. D.
 Quarrel Led to Killing
 While Hickok sat in a saloon playing poker, and Taylor stood talking to his friend, Tim Brady, on Q nearby street corner. Jack Mccall, @ miner, entered the bar and shot Wild Bill. The two men had quarreled over Q gambling debt r A moment later Mccall, gun in hand, came running down the street to where his horse was fast ened to a hitching post only a few feet from Taylor and Brady. A loose cinch and a slipping saddle prevented him from getting on the animal.
 With Taylor, Brady, the bar tender and saloon frequenters in pursuit, Mccall ran on down the street. His pursuers cornered him in a grocery In the next block, and for want of jail, held him pris- oner there until his trial the next day.
 Taylor said he and others placed the body of Hickok on door and carried 1t away for burial. The next day Taylor sat in the rude log theater while Mccall was tried by jury of miners without hene- fit of a judge. The miner was ac- quilted when the jury could not agree, but taken into custody month later, he was tried and sen- fenced to death by a judge in Yankton. ..

27 DROWNED IN
 KENTUCKY FLOOD
Kentucky Is Hit Suddenly By Flood; l2 Bodies
 Are Recovered

Morehead, Ky, July 5--(UP)- Kentucky State Police announced they had received reports that 27 persons had been drowned near Morehead in flash flood of Trip lett Creek early today following a cloudburst.
 The report could not be con- firmed immediately because com munication lines were out and roads were blocked by high water. Sergeant Sherman Combs, in charge of state police headquarters at Frankfort, said six officers had been ordered to check the drowning reports. They had not reported by mid-morning.
 A Morehead newspaper corre- spondent said that later reports were that the flood dead might reach lat least 40 or 60."
 Property damage ran high and there were reports that as many as 100 houses had been washed away.
 12 Bodies Found
 The correspondent said that 12 bodies had been recovered, but add cd 1t was impossible to make an ac- curate check because of flood con- ditions.
 The water of the usually tranquil creek was said to have surged up- wards so fast that those trapped in their lowland homes had to climb to the roofs.
 D. Kelly McNish, manager of the Home Teleph, ne company in Ash land, 60 miles away, said he talked with the manager of the Morehead exchange at 3 a. m. before the serv- ice failed, and that he had reported grave flood conditions. The More- head manager also understood that at least 27 had been drowned.
 Morehead has a population of B. 400.
 Water was & foot and a half deep some places in the street of Win chester, Ky.
 The tracks of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroads main line between Washington and Louisville were washed out or were under water and traffic was rerouted. The railroad sent work train to Morehead but could get no closer than Gates, six miles to the east.
 Two railroad bridges were report ed to have been washed out
 At 9 a. m., the water ran four and half feet deep through More heads main street, making a big lake of the business district. The creek was reported receding rapid ly.
 The storm also struck Olive Hill IS miles east of Morehead, causing several thousan dollars in property damage. No casualties were reported there. however.
 Citizens volunteered for rescue work at Morehead and Clearfield. It was almost impossible for outsiders to reach the vicinity several hours later.

SENATOR WALSH
 HITS NEUTRALITY

Fitchburg, Mass, July 5-(UP)- Retention of the neutrality act, es- pecially the existing ban on exports of munitions to belligerent nations, was urged yesterday by U. s. Sem ator David I. Walsh, D., Mass.
 Addressing 50O00 persons at the joint celebration of Independence Day and the 175th anniversary of Fitchburg's founding. Walsh said: ::
 T am protesting the lifting of an arms embargo because it means raids on our commerce and will eventu- ally result in war. That is some- thing we do not want at any price.
 "The provisions of the present neutrality act" he added. "are an essential element of any policy of real neutrality and that is the kind of neutrality the American people desire and ought to have"
 He said the proposed lifting of the embargo provisions was "motivated by a desire to put the United States in position to supply munitions to England and France in event of a general European war That is not disinterseted neutrality in fact or spirit"

 Taylor was in Philadelphia when he joined Q band of adventurous men who were among the first to enter the Black Hills territory. When on Dec. 20, 1875, Custer City was founded, he was named on q committee to stake out It's boun- darles. The group did the work with tape line and stakes.
 Elected coroner of Custer City, Taylor was the first man to hold that job in the Black Hills. He was 0 friend of Poker Annie, cigar smoking woman gambler, and the Dalton brothers, notorious stage coach robbers. In New Mexico ter- ritory, he played cards with Billy the Kid shortly before the Kid was involved in Q war between sheep- men and cattlemen and became an outlaw.
 He was one of the first white men in the Oklahoma territory, and helped organize the first fire department in Guthrie. Okla. Later he moved westward to Colorado and Idaho and finally to Califor- mia. Here he was one of the men who pioneered the rich Coalinga oiIfields.
