NEW YORK GIRLS UPSET 1924 MYTHS When Father Dies in Accident and Shock Kills Mother They Keep Family of Twelve Together,

John Dugan, father of twelve children, was killed Aug. 8 by a construction company motor truck while riding a bicycle -to work in New York City. The mother, just returned from an operation, died as result of the shock, leaving the twelve children, ranging in age from 1 to 20 years, orphans. Thursday a jury disagreed in a suit for SIOO,OOO brought by the children against the- construction company and anew trial was ordered. Meantime, plight of the children is attracting wide attention —particularly the fight of the older sisters to keep the fdmily together. By ALICE ROHE. (Written for the United Press.) Nr -I EW YORK.

A THREE DAYS’ COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Chronic coughs ami persistent colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion. an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is anew medical discovery with twofold action; it sooths and heals the inflamed membranes and kills the germ. * Os all known drugs, cressote is recognised by the medical fraternity as the greatest healinjj agency for the treatment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation. while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trou >le and destroys the germs that lead to serious complications. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of chronic cough* and colds, catarrhal bronchitis and I other forms of throat diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or the flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions. A= k your druggist. Creomulsion Co s. At- j ianta, Ga.—Advertisement.

statistics” in an era when all publicity announcing the younger generation has been centered on the jazzing flapper. Indeed, Mary and Elizabeth in their simple, uncomplaining determination to carry on a bereaved home, have but a few crimps in pessimistic theories concerning the 1924 female. A 20-year-old bread-winner and an IS-year-old home-maker are significant figures. Especially when the nine-room house they are trying to save shelters ten other orphans. Court Bares Story No one would have known this epic of Mary and Elizabeth—just as no one knows, perhaps, the brave struggles of many other modern girls—if suit over the father’s death had not brought them into Queens Supreme Court. It costs SIOO a week to maintain the Dugan home with its twelve children. The father earned $25 a week as a grocery clerk, augmented by sls from odd jobs. Mary at 14 stopped school to go to work. Asa telephone operator she earns $26.50 a week. Elizabeth, who left school at 16, was earning S2O a week, also as a telephone operator. John, IT. earned a little, but he is out of a job now. The nine other Dugans run down the ladder to one year. When death suddenly cast its devastating tragedy over tnis home, Mary and Elizabeth wasted no time in extravagant gestures of grief. Their love for their dead parents and for their living brothers and sisters —for their home—became a fixed and settled purpose. Home Everything “We can’t give up the home. Why, happy home surroundings moan everything,” said Mary’ “Os course. Betty had to give up her job, and she works so hard at home. She takes mother’s place now. Mother made everything we wore, and Betty's learning to do that, too.” Mary, who goes out into the world to support the home, leaves at 7:30 a. m. She works overtime and considers fcerself extremely lucky. "Father was buying the house, but there is still $1,600 to pay on It. But we were managing so well when he was killed. Os course, what we must do besides keeping the home is to give the children the schooling Betty and I didn’t have. Mother wanted that so—she did everything for her children. We couldn’t let all mother did go to waste,” said Mary.

Band Concert' When I was a youngster, Dad, Mother and Sis, with myself, were sure of one family reunion a year, at least. That was on the day when the circus band announced that the show was in town. In those days, the band of a circus was the most wonderful thing in the world to me. And somehow last night when the I'nited States Marine Bknd was giving a concert at the Cadle Tabernacle. I still had the thought that a band was still the most wonderful thing in the world. A band is a household word. It speaks to mother, father, sister and brother. East night there were many family reunions in the audience. It was a family affair. This band is just as well-known to us as Sousa, although we are permitted to hear Sousa more often. This marine band is known as the "band of the Presidents.” It. is oil! daily recognized by the Government. The large audience last night proved that Indianapolis is hungry for band music. The program was arranged with an eye toward the heavier compositions such as “Die Walkure” by Wagner, “111 Pag. liace£” and “Reminiscenes of Tschaikowsky” as by Godfrey in which you get a dash of the famous “1812" overture. To me this number was the high mark of the entire concert although “Invitation to the Dance” carried me away to a great wonderland of melody. The two soloists, Arthur S. Whitcomb. cornet, and Robert E. Clark, trombone, -.rere the favorites of the evening. Here is a wonderful band, presenting a program proper which one would expect from a composition standpoint at a symphony concert. The numerous encores were the popular Tnd better known compositions. Every time the band played an oldfashioned tune, this was a signal for an ovation. William H. Santelmann, leader, conducted all the numbers but two when he yielded the conductor's

The Wonderful Story of Life!

When your boy or girl comes to you, Mother or Father, with the first question, “Where did baby come from?” how do you ansrfer that question? A wholesome curiosity about birth and sex exists in all normal children. It is implanted by nature. When your boy or girl comes with that first inevitable question about the wonderful mystery of life, your opportunity, dear mother or father, has come. An evasion or a falsehood now may he disastrous. When the child discovers it has been deceived it is .not likely to return to Its mother when it wishes to learn more. It will go elsewhere. Do you want your child to-learn the facts of sex and birth and life from chance companions, dirty minded outsiders, or do you
