A young in:irriMl woman of Denver, wlinsc name Js 1 1 liliolci from merciful motives, was so determined to barter her unborn baby for tin? expenses attendant on its birth that she advertised the fact and sat down to wait for applicants. They came in numbers. Judge H. H. Lindsey of the juvenile court stood in line at the home of this young woman waiting to get. a chance to tall: to her. while women of all sorts, one after mother, tried to secure a promise of the -n child. "I U...I. t understand that I would be breaking a law to give my baby away," the young woman told Judge Lindsey when lie explained to her that tables are not given away like klttens and puppies in Colorado, hut are horn to an Inherent right the. right to be nourished by the mother and the right to protection of Its natural parents unless, when the baby has weath

Colorado: "That's Where the West Begins"

GLENWOOD SPRINGS. COLO. The recent big snow that blocked the "Moffat road" and the highway through Ierthoud pass over the continental divide emphasized the truth of Arthur Chapman's famous poem, "Out Where the West Hegins," tf which the last stanza reads thus: "Out where the world Is in the making. Where fewer hearts with despair are aching. That's where the West begins. Where there's more of singing and less of sighing. Where there's more of giving and less of buying. And a man makes friends without half tr. log. That's where the West begins. Middle Turk, with railroad and highway blocked, was shut in. Many Grand county fanners and stockmen were caught short on hay and oats. Uerthoud pass had to be opened. K. W. (Dick) McQueary. one of the best of Colorado's many able road builders, volunteered to put the digging Job through. W. II. Wood, sawmill .operator, lo.ined his camp equipment and horses.

Baby; Changes Mind ered the first week of existence, it Isshown to the satisfaction of the Juve idle court that It were better for the child to be adopted by others. The young womau admits that .d: bus been thoroughly shamed through the publicity given her plan, and that 10 suame mis neen in ( im n oesire to hold what is hers and to make her husband, an automobile salesman, see that they must manage to care for tin baby as for themselves, on his salary. "The time has passed when girls can do ns they please regarding their babies," Judge Lindsey said. "Then, too. If women get the idea that they can transfer their babies without formality of court proceedings, what i likely to happen In the affairs of the men and women taking such babies'" He said people wanted to pnx.-urc a clear title with their property, and no child could be adopted without the consent of the juvenile court in this state under the present statute. Upon discovering that any person applying for the child ami agreeing to pay tin? hospital expenses attendant on Its birth in exchange for poessloih of the litlo one would be guilty of conniving at dependency, many women called upon Judge Lindsey, wishing to make clear to the court that they were ignorant of the law and Inspired only by the highest motives In making their offer. WOW 15 YOUR CKAoCE TO snow In Middle Park melted in four days. McQueary was one of the few In Grand county with hay and oats; Panic-stricken stockmen offered him $7."i a ton for hay which cost lilm $L" last fall. For his oats they offered him prices to turn a profiteer green with envy. "Dick" would not sell, but he loaned 42 tons of hay and .VA tons of oats. He will be repaid next fall with hay selling for about $10 a ton and oats from the 11'J0 crop. Frnnkle McQueary of Parshall followed his uncle's example. Jones Itrothers Cattle company did the same thing. Cashier L. II. Harrison of the First State hank stood in the breach. Others gave 'supplies and their time. Dealers tl i tl not raise their prices. "Out where the skies are a little bluer. Out where friendship's a little truer. That's where the West hegins." Laws Are in Danger to go to church on Sunday or stay Indoors during church hours. Constable Connerton undertook to enforce the ordinance on Poland Sparks, aged 17. The boy "sassed" the constable and got shot In the lung. He w taken to a hospital on the mainlam! and Is now back home, convalescent. The constable Is out on -S2.ÖOO bail and Is performing his duties as usual. Mayor Oarey Crockett, who is also a preacher, speaks for the reactionary faction when he says: "It is necessary to be firm with the bad ones who don't go to church.". The older people say the constable was right, if by destroying one mortal body he could save many souls by Increasing church attendance. Tangier has a new preacher, Pev. W. 1 Coodwin; the Sunday of the shooting saw his hxst service. He doesn't exactly condemn the constable, but he says he's going to make such methods unnecessary by making the church attractive. The younger element Is liberal. It's also belligerent. It says It's going to oust Mayor Crockett and have music and baseball and sit on the porch and even say "hell" and "damn" on the street. If It wants to so there! In short, the slogan of the liberals is "The blue laws must go." Even More Complex of tomatoes at one guest and a pot of soup at another. After the guests left, Mr. Corboy tried to quiet her. She stabbed him slightly on the side with a butcher knife. Then police arrived. The police too Grace to the psychopathic laboratory. Or.

THAT SOUND IN THE NIGHT

Nothing So Very Terrible, taut at Least Henry Found Out JuU What Caused It. It certainly was a strange soundeven though at midnight all sounds are strange. Mrs. Mcckton nudged her husband hard. "Henry," she whispered, loudly, "wake up at once, and go downstairs! It soi.ids like burglars!" "Yes, my dear." replied Henry, nervously. "Hut I don't " "If you don't go at once," stated his better half, "I will go myself!" "I shall certainly go, Mrla." Henry said with dignity; then he added, "If I hear it again." "No, go now," ordered Maria, 4,or"I shall shriek for the police, and tell them that you made, no attempt to capture the thieves!" "Very well," replied Henry, through trembling lips; "but let me kiss you and the baby before I go, .':nd when he grows up tell him that his brave daddy jumped out of bed one bitter night and boldly attacked several armed burglars and fought with them till he was overpowered and " "O-o-o-oh, Henry, there it Is again! Go at once!" yelled Maria, giving him a mighty push. And Henry wei t downstairs, trembling violently. Cautiously opening the kitchen door lie turned on the electric lightand found the kitten playing with baby's india-rubber ball. lo TEACH BLIND TO DfiAW English Idea Is That Art May Help the Sightless to Communkkte With Outers Wor!d. One of the many experiments of the Royal Drawing society has been to teach people to draw by touch. The pupil is blindfolded am! feels a simple shape, like a hammer of a spade, and draws It with his eyes open. An advanced pupil has drawn the head of a classical bust and the mask of Beethoven. These experiments fired Mr. C. B. Ahlett. the director of the society, with the idea of drawing by the blind. He has devised a medium which looks like the frosted stuff on a matchbox made liquid, by which the draughtsman can follow by touch what he has drawn and correct or add to his work. So far there have been no oxeriments with a blind pupil. Mr. Ablett does not claim for It more than that a blind man can draw the plan or a design of something he wishes to record and explain. A blind gardener has been known to go into ecstasies over the unfolding shapes of a plant, and the drawing of these shapes, known to him by touch would nndouhtedly give him a form of esthetic pleasure. In any case, It would Increase his means of communicating with the outside world. A great boon, If the method is practicable, would be that it would enable the blind to write and to read writing. Manchester Cuardian. Airplanes Will Aid Mining. It Is predicted that the airplane and the dirigible will prove a great stimulus to the mining industry in presenting a means of getting mate ial and men to and from locatloi s which are known to be rich with ore and which are at the present time inneresslide. There are many such places known to exist, but the cost of building a roadway to them would be so great as to be prohibitive. Attention to this phase of the subject has been recently attracted by a report made by Ictor Lyon, supervisor of the mining stations for the United States bureau of mines. By this means a regular communication could he maintained with sections which are not to be reached by any ordinary means. It Is also suggested that the souk? means might be of great value for getting rescue apparatus to the scene of mining disasters. Where Big Industry Began. The dilapidated old shack, still ftanding at Kastport, Me., Is of Interest by reason of Its being the starting place of the great American sardine industry. The experiment of converting the nnall herring into the canned sardine was tried out in this factory, built for that purple hy Julius Wolff, a Russian, and other New York promoters nearly forty years ago. At that time the picturesque weirs. In which the llsh are seined, usually joined the factory property. From Its birth. In this small factory, sardine canning lias developed to almost the chief Industry on the Maine coast, employing thousands of skilled workers each season, and has placed Kastport on the map as one of the most important fishing ports in the country. Locomotive Rolled Over. After a storm that buried the New Kngland coast In snow last March, passengers on a railroad line through Rhode Island were amazed to observe a locomotive standing upright in a swampy brook that runs under the right of way at one point. The engine started out with a snowplow to clear the track, but jumped the rails at the brook trestle, the plow going one way and its motive power the other. Confronted, then, by the prob lem of removing the new obstruction, ami not caring to devote three engines to getting one back on the track, the rail men cut the (Jordlan knot by rolling the big locomotive down the embankment. lopite the slide and plunge.

Chinese Shactes Are Much in Evidence This Season. White Floss Embroidery Is Conspicu cus in Some of the Newest Evening Gowns. The question of colors in clothes Is always a most Important one, but one that Is hard to write about, observes a correspondent in the IUifTalo Express, fnr it is pract'cally Impossible to describe a color so that every one who rvads about it will see it as it is. Hut pretty nearly every one knows the characteristic colors of Chinese emhrr.idory there is a dark shade of blue and a Ilsht opaque shade, a green that is almost a Jade, much old rose, light lemon yellow and a darker citron color. Often In embroidery representing llnwers. however, a great range of shades is used, producing an effect that is almost realistic. IUit it is the shades used in the more conventional designs that are spoken of as Chinese. And in the parlance of clothes nowadays one hears much of Chinese blue, Chinese green. Chinese rose. etc. It these shades that are used in some of the embroidery produced in France. Quite different are the Egyptian colors rather stonoy, cold-looking shades with considerable brick red always predominating. In some of the newest evening gowns you see white lloss embroidery on white silk background and this. thotiLii it ;uay not have been borrowed from China, is not Infrequently seen among the finest of Chinese embroideries. White Is interestingly combined with colors In the embroidery of some of the new frocks. In three charming frocks recently exhibited I saw white embroidery on brown, a bright green on a light yellow and delft blue on white. It Is not unusual to see in the new blouses the use of opaque white beads embroidered on blouses of the light pastel shades. Gray seems to be coming in for much popularity. Navy blue with a light tracery of gray embroidery always looks distinctive. There is a new shade called in France tourterelle meaning turtle dove, that is much admired.

It is Just the thing for the miss of six years. Novel Veils. The fancy mesh veil Hashed off with nn ostrich feather collar offers a most llatterlng style for one with a slender throat. Tight Garments Women Are Only Too Glad to Grasp More Sensible and Comfortable Styles. Women have balked for years at tight waists, tight high collars and very tight sleeves, and it is doubtful whether the severely fitted basque effects will over again meet with general approval. The only really uncomfortable garment that has been accepted of late years is the very narrow skirt, and this is gradually being moved back to normal. As a matter of fact. It Is almot safe to say that the very best dressed women never did wear them. In this season's showing of garments, both frocks and suits, there are many skirts only a yard and a half wide, but few Indeed are narrower, and the many plaited skirts worn prove conclusively that when Dame Fashion admits sensible and comfortable styles, women are only too glad to grasp them. Another new style note, not bizarre but charming, is when making a threepUse suit to have lower skirt and coat of wool fabiie, and bloue. or upper part, and lining of coat of matching silk. .

EM VOGUE

STRIKING SUIT FOR SPRING TOW. 1 11 J"""" ii jimin-...f r Here is shown a winsome suit fashioned in novelty basket weave tricollette in tan. Velours in matching and silk tone serve effectively as an appropriate trimming. VOGUE FOR FLOATING VEILS Style Is in Keeping Vith Use of Quantities of Net and Laces in Dresses. "With the use of quantities of net and lace In dresses the vogue for floating veils does not come as a surprise. This fashion Is entirely In keeping with the very feminine touches that the sheer materials give to dress. Hats of the plainest and most severe type have no trimming other than a veil. The craze of the moment Is the brown veil as a garniture for the black hat. Tbo very coarse, highly glossed hlack braids are used for a small round turban, over which Is draped a tobacco-brown veil having a medallion Utting over the crown of the hat and an embroidered border on four sides of the veil. Sometimes the veil is neatly tied In place and the border forms a tiny shadowy edge for the turban. Again, It is allowed to hang in streaming corners. When the shape is of more Individuality and height a tobacco-brown ribbon In satin ein is sometimes used in addition to the tobacco-brown embroidered veil. For Juveniles. Plain color materials are the season's favorites for juveniles, but some very ( harming Knglish prints and calicoes are to be found. These are usually trimmed simply in edgings and band of white organdie sometimes in narrow lace edgings. One smart calico dress, recently seen, for a girl of ten or twelve years, showed a slightly longer than normal waistline, and a plain skirt attached by belt of selffabric, so there was no decided break in the line fiom neck to hem. The only trimming was a four-inch wide plaited frill of white organdie as a collar, and a similar fmNh for the elbow sleeves. Are Not Liked reported from Paris will reach here, though It has hardly done so yet. However, most women rarely wear a corset with negligee things, when lounging round "ehez mol." So they always like to keep a smart pair or two of round garters on hand. They're such coquettish, decorative, feminine trifles, too, to have about. BOX COATS AND ETON SUITS Garments Which Are Responsible for Bringing the Blouse Into New Prominence. Blouses have come into new prominence. The box coat and the Eton suit, both of which require a pretty blouse, have been largely responsible for the renewed interest in them. There is really little change In the form of blouses, but It Is interesting to observe the materials employed and the methods of trimming. Voiles and taffetas are most In demand voile being In the lead. The passing of filet lace is noteworthy. Some models trimmed with filet are selling, but no really smart blouse features it. . This good, substantial and practical lace was conspicuous as a garniture for the best of blouses and neckwear for a long time; but fashion demands n chanjre, so filet Is supplanted by Irish and Valenciennes laces. Another reason for the supplanting of this favorite Is due to the fact that It I? easily Ira!j tated. All Its patterns have been cheaply copied.

PUNISHED FOR KINDLY DEED

English Magistrates Seem to Havo Dealt Harshly With Man Who "Broke" the Sabbath. John Hull is an English publication. The letter we are reproducing from it columns was written to the magistrates of the Kngllsh town of Heading. One wonders If they ever heard of th distinction between the letter and th spirit of the law, remarks Our Dum! Animals. "Your Worships: I gather you don't go to church on Sundays as a re.rular thing. Let me tell you why I gather. On a Sunday during the strike a policeman dug up the Sunday observance act in order to convict a poor devil of a drover Charles Palmer, towlt of driving cattle through the streets. The man had fetched tb boasts from the railway station. where they had arrived from Dublin. They were then in a bad state. If they bad not been removed to be fed and watered they would havo been the victims of callous cruelty: and though on this particular Sunday that which Is written, 'Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall Into a pit and will not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day' was part of the gospel, you made the drover pay the costs of his prosecution. To all Intent ami purpose, therefore, gentlemen, you might as well have convicted and fined him. What a pity it Is that the act of 1077 doesn't prohibit Heading magistrates from walking or driving through the streets on Sunday In order to catch their dinner." VOLCANOES AWAKE TO LIFE Mount Katmai, in Alaska, Especially, Shows Signs of Preparation for Destructive Outburst. Affording an awe-compelling spectacle of nature In a sullen mood and awakening memories of the ghastly details of the eruption of eight years ngo. Mount Katmai, most powerful and restless of North American volcanoes. Is again In violent activity, according to Capt. Charles .. Glasscock and Purser Gary Ilach of the steamer Admiral Watson, which readied port recently from southwestern Alaska, says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. A sable pail of smoke from the funnel of the belching crater broods over the northern sky for a radius of 40 or T0 miles by day, while fretful tongues of flame can be seen by vessels a score of miles at sea at night, according to the Seattle mariners. Knight's peak, a neighboring volcano, has also been stirred to spectacular efforts by the outburst of its more deadly companion, and wreaths of smoke hang over numerous peaks of the rugged Alaska peninsula,. A slight earthquake shock was experlenced at Kodlak Maud the night of April S, a day before the arrival of the Admiral Watson. Two days later those on the Admiral Watson had a rare view of the volcano. Submarine Radio. Tho bist :mimal report of the bureau of standards states that members of the bureau's staff have developed very successful methods of communicating with submerged submarines by rndio-telcLTuphy. With a single-turn coll or loop attached to the outside of the submarine, signals can be received as well when the vessel is submerged as when It is at the surface. It Is also possible to transmit from a submerged submarine a distance of 12 miles. Thus it becomes possible for a ship and a submarine to exchange recognition signals. A coll aerial is a satisfactory direction finder when submerged and readily receives signals transmitted thousands of miles, just the same as when used In the air. The navy has equipped its larger submarines with this apparatus. Scientific American. Airmen Guide Cavalry. While the Fourteenth cavalry was on the march recently from Fort Sam Houston, Tex., to Fort Kinggold, Tex., an aviator, who chanced to pass over their heads, acted as their volunteer guide. The observer in the airplane saw that, instead of the Trio City road, they were following what Is known as the Somerset road. He advised them of their error Py a message dropped In front of the moving column, and the troop detoured to the correct road. The air-service officers reported the Incident to the chief of operations at Kelly field upon their arrival, and 2T minutes later a map showing the route to their destination. Fort Kinggold, was dropped In the middle of the marching column. Just What Did He Mean? Little Henry Hoanhammer is a typical Hoosler youngster, who uses his ears to good advantage. Since prohibition has been enforced in Indiana he has heard a great many remarks made by people who In the past were accustomed to Imbibing occasionally.
