"I didn't understand that I would he breaking :l law to give my baby awny." the joung woman told Judge Lindsey when he explained to her that babies are not given away like kittens 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"

GLKXWOOI Si'KINGS, COLO. The recent big snow that blocked the "Moffat road" and the highway through Herthoud pass over the continental divide emphasized the truth of Arthur Chapman's famous poem, M()ut Where the West Hegins," of which the Inst 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, trying. That's where the West begins. Middle Park, with railroad and highway Mocked, was shut In. Many Grand county farmers and stockmen were caught short on hay and oats. Herthoud pass had to be opened. K. W. (Idek) McQweary, one of the host of Colorado's many tilde road builders. volunteered to put the digging job through. W. II. Wood, sawmill operator, leaned his camp equipment and horses. There were miles of road under to 12 feet of snow. Ti;e work was done in live days. The next drty the thaw set in; under the hot spring sun three feet of Tangier Island Blue COME TO CHURCH CUlSlTFU. Ml . Tangier island is ail excited over the shooting of Poland Sparks by Charles Connerton. The excitement may end up in a regular revolution 4-his summer, when the town election is held. In the first place Tangier Island !s in the middle of Chesapeake bay. Just inside the Virginia line. It's three miles long and one mile wide. It has about 2.x inhabitants, who are fishermen and know nothing about the outicV world. Many of them have never seen an automobile, or a tram. The only street is Main street and it's S feet wide. There are no movies, tennis courts, ball parks or dance halls, it has neer had a saloon. There is Jr.st one church. The town council's ordinances Include one ordering all persons either Servant Problem Is CHICAGO. The servant problem grows more dlllicult and complex here every day. So think Mr. and Mrs. John A. Corboy of 7MI Ingleside avenue. The Corboys eng get! an apparently bright am! neat maid. 2.'? years tM. Grace Cratidall by name. All went well for two lay. Then Grace reported the snatching of her handbag containing keys to the Corboy home. Soon a Hyde Park detective appeared to lead I race t.i Judge Frye ert to view Misjorts.

Baby; Changes Mind

ered the first week of existence, It Iw shown to the satisfaction of the Juve hile court that it were better for tb child to bo adopted by others. The young woman admits that she has been thoroughly shamed through the publicity given her plan, ami that to shame has been added a desire t hold what Is hers and to make her husband, an automobile salesman, setthat they must manage to care for the baby as for themselves, on his salary. "The time has passed when jrirls 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 proceed in what Is likely to happen In the affairs of tlx men and women taking such babies?" He said people wanted to procure 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. l'lon discovering that any person applying for the child and agreeing to pay the hospital expenses attendant on its birth in exchange for possession of the litle 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. 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 $70 a ton for hay which cost him $25 last fall. For his onts they offered him juices to turn a profiteer green with envy. "Dick" would not sell, but he loaned 42 tons of hay and 5 tons of oats. He will he repaid next fall with hay selling for about $10 a ton and oats from the 1120 crop. Frankie McQueary of Parshall followed his uncle's example. Jones Prothers Cattle company did the same thing. Cashier L. P. Harrison of the First State bank stood in the breach. Others gave supplies and their time. Dealers did not raise their prices. "Out where the skies are a little bluer, Out where friendship's a little truer, That's where the West begins." 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 was taken to a hospital on the mainland and is now back home, convalescent. The constable is out on $2.5H) bail and is performing his duties as usual. Mayor Garey 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 do)'t go to church." The older people say the constable was tight, if by destroying one mortal body ho cculd sae many souls by increasing church attendance. Tangier has a new preacher. Rev. W. F. Goodwin; the Sunday of the shooting saw his first 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 guet 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 took Grace to the psychopathic laboratory.

THAT SOUND IN THE NIGHT

Nothing So Very Terrible, but at Leatt Henry Found Out Just What Caused It It certainly was a strange soundeven though at midnight all sounds are strange. Mrs. Meekton nudged her husband hard. "Henry she whispered, loudly, "wake up nt once, ami go downstairs! it sounds like burglars!" Tes, my dear," replied Henry, nervously. "liut I don't " "If you don't go at once," stated his better half, "I will go myself !M "I shall certainly go, Maria," Henry said with dignity; then lie added, "if J hear it again." "No. go now," ordered Maria, "or"! shall shriek for the? police, and tell them that you mad? no attempt to capture the thieves!" "Very well," replied Henry, through trembling lips; "but let me kiss you and the baby before I go, ami when he grows up tell him that Ids 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 went downstairs, trembling violently. Cautiously opening the kitchen door he turned on the electric light and found the kitten playing with baby's india-rubber ball. TO TEACH BLIND TO DRAW English idea Is That Art May Help the Sightless to Communicate With OvUliz Wcr.'d. One of the many experiments of the Royal Drawing society has been to teach people to draw by touch. The pupil is blindfolded and 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 I5eethoven. These experiments fired Mr. C. B. Ablett. 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 tbo draughtsman can follow by touch what he has drawn nnd correct or add to his work. So far there have been ho experiments 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 undoubtedly 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 tin; method is practicable, would be that it would enable the blind to write and to read writing. Manchester Guardian. Airplanes Will Aid Mining. It is predicted tin t the airplane and the dirigible will prove a great stimulus to the mining industry in presenting a means of getting material and men to and from locations which are known to be rleli with ore and which are at the present time inaccessible. 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 boon recently attracted by a report made by Doctor Lyon, supervisor of the mining stations for the United States bureau of mines. ly this means a regular communication could be maintained witli sections which are not to be reached by any ordinary means. It is also suggested that the same 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 standing 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 f.mall herring into the canned sardine was tried out in this factory, built for that purpose by 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 trick, but jumped the rails at the brook trestle, the plow going one way and its motive power the other. Confronted, then, by the problem of removing the new obstruction, and not caring to devote three engines to getting one back on the track, the rail men :ui the Gordian knot by rolling the big locomotive down the embankment. IVspite the slide and plunge, it finished right side up. l pillar Mechanics Mag:;;.ire

COLORS W VOGUE

Chinese Shades Are Much in Evidence This Season. White Floss Embroidery Is Conspicuous 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 Buffalo Kxpress, for it is practically Impossible to describe a color so that every one who rvads about It will see it as It is. Nut pretty nearly every one knows the characteristic colors of Chinese embroiderythere is a dark shade of blue and a light opaque shade, a green thnt is almost a jade, much old rose, light lemon yellow and a darker citron color. Often in embroidery representing llowers, however, a great range of shades is used, producing an effect tbat 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 is these shades that are used in some f the embroidery produced In France. Quite different are the Egyptian ciders rather stoney. 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, though it may 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 c l brown, a bright green on a ligh 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. FOR THE MISS OF SIX YEARS ion yA-yry mmjM ' mi m yimmmgm m Western Newpnpr.Unton' Cool and delightfully summery-Iook-ing is this charming little organdie bonnet. It is just the thing for the miss of six years. Novel Veils. The fancy mesh veil Hashed off with an ostrich feather collar offers a most nattering 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 ever 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 almost 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 skins 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 bur charming, is when making a threephn e suit to have lower skirt and coat of wool fabric, and blouse, or upper part, and lining of coat of matching silk. Round Garters Again. One sees round garters in the lingerie departments again. They've always been there more or less, to be sure, but pushed Into the obscurity of the background, like n poor relation. ow thy are being brought out and rather featured. Why?

Velours in matching and silk tone serve effectively as an appropriate trimming. VOGUE FOR FLOATING VEILS Style Is In Keeping With 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. The very coarso; highly glossed Mack braids are used for a small round turban, over which is draped a tobacco-brown veil having a medallion fitting 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 cire is sometimes used in addition to the tobacco-brown embroidered veil. For Juveniles. Plain color materials are the. season's favorites for .Iuveniles, but some very charming English 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 from neck to hem. The only trimming was a four-inch wide plaited frill of white organdie as a collar, and a similar finish for the elbow sleeves. Are Not Liked reported from Paris will reach here, though it has hardly dorn? so yet. However, most women rarely wear a corset with negligee things, when lounging round chez inol." 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. lilouses 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, hut 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 trimrmil 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 a change, so filet is supplanted by Irish and Valenciennes- laces. Another reason for the supplanting of this favorite Is due to the fact that It Ik easily Imitated. All Its patterns have been cheaply copied.

PUNISHED FOR KINDLY DEED

English Magistrates Seem to Hav Dealt Harshly With Man Who "Brcke" the Sabbath. John Hull Is an Kngllsh publication. The letter we are reproducing- from it columns was written to the magistrates of the English town of Heading. One wonders if they ever heard of th distinction between the letter and th spirit of the law, remarks Our Dundi Animals. Your Worships: I gather you donl go to church on Sundays as a regular thing. Let me tell you why I gather. On a Sunday during the strike a jo llceman dug up the Sunday observance act In order to convict a poor devil of a drover Charles Palmer, towit of driving cattle through the streets. The man had fetched the beasts from the railway station, where they had arrived from Dublin. They were, then in a bad state. If they had not been removed to be fed and watered they would have been thf 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 gopel. you made the drover pay the cots of his proveeution. To all intent and purpose, therefore, gentlemen, you might as well have convicted and fined him. What a pity It is that the act of 1(177 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 yearn ngo, Mount Katmai. most powerful and restless of North American volcanoes, is again in violent activity, according to Capt. Charles A. Glasscock and Purser nary Hach of the steamer Admiral Watson, which reached 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 AO or oO miles by day, while fretful tongues of llame 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 spertneular efforts by the outburst of its more deadly companion, and wreaths of smoke lianj: over numerous peaks of the rutrged Alaska peninsula. A slight earthquake shock was experienced at Kodiak island the night of April S, a day before tlie arrival of the Admiral Watson. Two days later (hose on the Admiral Watson had a rare view of the volcano. Submarine Radio. The last annual 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 radio-telegraphy. With a single-turn coil 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 coil 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, Tew, to Fort Hinggold, 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 mail, they were following what is known ns the Somerset road. He advised them of their error by a message dropped in front of the moving colOnn. 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 Hinggold, was dropped in the middle of the marching column. Just What Did He Mean? Little Henry Hoanhammer Is a typical Hoosier youngster, who uses hi ears to good advantage. Since prohibition has bcVn enforced in Indiana he has heard a great many remarks made by people who In the past were accustomed to Imbibing occasionally. Hut at Christmas he electrified his family, by his own opinion. The Christmas tree was aglow and everyone was talking about Its beauty, etc. Finally It ramp Henry's time to say something and he did. He looked at the brilliant tree. "Cee. It's all lit up," he sighed, "and I sure vih I was, too." Indianapolis News. Hard Luck. "I was born too early," he sighed. "What's the matter?"
