Where that happens the folks will be happy ever afterward and a kit sooner than where they don't. Albert Wedeking. member of the Indiana highway commission wants the state to take over 40,000 miles of highway and maintain it. He believes this can be done on the present income of the commission and relieve every county of the maintainence tax now imposed. His proposal is that the state spend $13,000,000 annually for new roads and bridges and $11,000,000 for maintainence and is being given some attention by those interested.) Will ex-Governor Huey P. Long —and we mean ex —please pack up his grip and leave the flooded region at the foot of the Mississippi? His nation needs his services in I Washington as senator. His nation, , larger than his state, which he i seems to forget, is eager to see him clash with some of the other I bullies who have senate seats. We want to see how far he gets with the rough-house tactics through whieli lie is alleged to have engineered the Louisiana state house. In the recent primary election he rolled up a record majority for the man he wanted to succeed him in 1 his state, Mr. O. K. Allen. Since Democracy is nothing else but in Louisiana. Mr. Allen is as good as governor-elect, and State Senator Alvin O. King is acting lieutenant governor, so that he can easily beitomp acting governor, if Huey will give film a chance. Mr. Long can I I never be more governor Gian this governorest governor in the union las been. We want him in Washington where he can be part of the ensuing comedy. He will perhaps railroad a bill to compel all senators to stop producing bills — what a blessing!—as he railroaded his hill last summer to make cot-ton-raisers criminals if they raise cotton. — Chicago Journal of Commerce.

Most of our young women graduated from colleges and universities are equipped with every kind ol knowledge relative to art, science and business, but the vital business of motherhood remains a profound mystery to them. The Dalton School has included in its curriculum an extensive course on infant care and upbringing. Real babies are used in the classroom to give the girls practical experience. The infants have been chosen, children • t mothers who are forced to work for a living. They receive the best care known to science and will be developed into perfect specimen* of young men and women. The course includes everything that a mother should know to bring up a baby in the way it should be dieting, bathing and clothing, as well as the procedure in treating the baby during the usual trying periods of teething, colic and other thing that the budding citizen must experience. The innovation is a welcome one to the students. It breaks the monotony of mathematic* and other kindred headaches and at some future date will prove a boon to the potential mother—not to mention the father, who otherwise would be forced to many a nocturnal perambulation.

New York. Jan. 18.—The recent . opening of the first school of motherhood for high school girls in New York proves that at last education- ' al authorities have awakened to the fact that all these years the most important item of a girl s education was not included in the school curriculum. Heretofore the young women graduated from our high schools and colleges have been sent into the world equipped for a career in the arts, business or science only. Most of our girls who ran the whole gamut of the educational system, from kindergarten until they tagged a couple of letters after their names on acquiring university degrees, can give a good account of themselves in discussion about Mr. Einsteins abstruse theories, on the trend of modern art or on Freud’s application of psychology to business. Hut ask them the simplest ques-i ticn on a baby's diet, bath or care' during the teething session, and! they are immediately immersed in a fog of ignorance. Thus the know, ledge most vital to woman, the I equipment for the successful carry-1 ing out of her primary mission on earth, is the thing about which she’ knows least. The new school is going to changel all that. No more will the young mother bite her lip in despair and vexation when she finds that a decree’ in physics and being on inti-: | mate terms with Freud s intricacies jof the mind doesn't help much in! stopping the baby from crying. No more will the young husband, who ' must be on libs way to the office at I seven in the morning, reproach the wife in scathing terms for her ignorance. as he perambulates the I bedroom with the squalling first bonnfar, far into the sma' hours. 1 The Dalton School of Motherhood. : which opened on January 1, | B teach--ing not only the theory of scientific care of babies but is giving its i pupils valuable practical exper- j fence with real babies as models Four healthy infants of good so--413 Winchester St. Try Our Regular Meals and Special Sunday Dinners Chicken . . 35c Choice Meats 25c Phil Bonifas. | Phone 294 p rO p.

These babies will be 'reared at the school and made as [perfect babies as scientific development can make them. Os course, they are returned to their parents every night. The faculty of the school is composed of specialists in infant care, as is Nurse Mary McMahon, the supervisor, who, being woman, doubtless knows a few things of which even the celebrated doctors of the institution are in ignorance. Fhe course teaches care of the baby from Ato Z. First, naturally,, i the pupils are instructed in the eorirect manner of holding an infant —there’s quite a knack to it, in lease you've never tried. Then, in a [course all by itself, is a list of 'stringent rules regarding proper : dieting. Ihe scientific modus operand! of feeding the child is another phase that receives-special attention though it looks simple enough You may not think that there’s /iUK'h to giving a baby a bath, but you’re wrong. There’s more to it than there is to flying an airplane. |( lotlnng the new citizen is another mystery that is made clear in the i course.
