Application of limestone is essential

The War Food Administration, in
emphasizing the importance of lime in
the maintenance of soil productivity
to meet war demands, points out that
an estimated IS to 40 million tons Of
ground limestone could be proftably
applied each year in the needy areas.
A total of some 20,97l eco tons was
used in 1912, highest and latest re-
ported figure.
Ninety.one percent, or l8,97l,400

4 PARENTS RIGHT

Natural parents haze the
first and best right to their
children. This right is fixed in
the la,vs of every state. Occa-
sionaHy, these la,os may result
in some injustice, as in the case
considered in this issue.
4 young mother, dying soon
after her baby Uas born, asked
her friend to care for it. The
baby, Maurcen, grew into a
charming and attractive child.
Now her father, Uho has paid
no attention to Maureen for
fue years, and has not con-
tributed to her support, ,cants
his daughter. He is married
again, and is fairly prosperous.
The mothers friend, Mary
Lee, who cared lovingly for
Maurcen during the trying
years of babyhood, doesn't
uant to give up the child. She
plans to fight for Maureen in
court, although she has no
adoption papers, or any legal
claim.

nothing. She cost one woman her
life, and another five years of love,
care, expense, time. effort. But the
law hands her over to Ralph as a
matter of course.
Case of Unfaithful Wife.
There was another case in which
the law was even stranger. A young
wife. desperate at the GOODNESS and
dizziness of an older husband, went
away with a younger lover. set up
an ideally blissful little Bohemian
menage, had a year or two of radi-
ant happiness and then went to her
husband to plead for a divorce be.
cause a child was expected. The
husband not only refused the di-
vorce, but claimed the child as his,
as it would be born while she was
still legally his wife. And his claim
was sustained.
Again, in a certain western state
it was formerly the law that if a
husband discovered proof of a wife's
immoral action, even though it had
been committed years before her
marriage to him. he could claim an
annulment of his marriage and full
custody of his children. Fortunately
such a law would only rarely be in.
voked, and it was recently repealed.
The absurdity Of claiming that first,
there was no marriage, and second,
the father had upon the children the
claim that only legitimacy gives,
was too patent, ard the law was
swept away.
But before it was swept away, it
was brought to public attention by a
husband. father of four, who was
maintaining a very afrectionate re-
lationShip with a certain widow in
his neighborhood. He had discov-
cred early indiscretions on the part
of his wife and cited this Ubiquitous
law, it was maintained, and the
four small children were turned over
to the widow. who promptly mar
ried their father. The mother went
away. and shortly afterward took
her w life. This is a true case.
Laws aren't always just, and laws
can be changed. But the law that
gives the surviving parent first claim
on a child is as old as Solomon
and never will be revoked. And one
Of the sharpest lessons life teaches

Fabric in Decorating
Homes of Tomorrow

IF YOU are dreaming about re-
l decorating after the war-and
who is not-put this in your note
book. There will be a more lavish
use of fabric in home decoration
than ever before. There will be
many new types of textiles and
many new weaves. Fabrics will
be designed to wear longer and
to stay clean longer. A feeling of
spaciousness will be obtained by
plotting out some walls with cur
tains. Irregular or badly proper
toned spaces will be brought into
harmony by covering parts of
them; and small windows will be
made to seem high and wide by
covering the wall around them.
The homemaker who can sew a
