Harvesting Their Crop Having displaced American labor for the cheaper labor of south Europe, eastern manufacturers no doubt are highly incensed over the ao"tions of their new employes in striking for higher wages and emphasizing their demands with bricks, pistols and dynamite, giving the police more experience in actual warfare than the large majority of soldiers in the regular army. While the average American regards with disapproval the acts of violence and lawlessness which have been witnessed at Lawrence, Little Falls, Paterson and other points on the eastern elaboard, it is only human if he takes quite a 'Jittle relish in the anguish displayed by eastern jnill and factory owners as they harvest the crop ;of troubles they have sown in their blind scramble after the dollar.
The Guatamalan Incident , An English warship has been sent to Guata4nla for the purpose of collecting a debt that 'misgoverned little republic has owed English Interests for a number of years. The English government has on several occasions made vigorous representations to the Guatamalan government that this long standing debt should be paid (and despite the vigorous proddings of the United iStates state department Guatamala has each ttime evaded a settlement of the English claims. ?Now the lion is growling in earnest. About two weeks ago special Guatamalan envoys called on President Wilson and Secretary Bryan and urged 'that the United States exert all its influence to prevent the proposed seizure of customs in Guatemala by an English naval force to collect the ttebt. These envoys attempted to convince the Washington government that such action would i . i - r -r-k j l
ioe a violation oi me jvionroe uocirine, a policy many Latin American republics have always shown hostility to except when they find it convenient to hide behind when hard pressed by foreign creditors. However, it appears that the president and the secretary, of state have turned deaf ears to the anguished lamentations of the Guatamalans and have construed the proposed British action against Guatamala no more a violation of the Monroe Doctrine than the action of Great Britain some fifteen years ago when its naval forces seized Nicaraguan custom houses to collect a long standing debt of that re-
government. Being a great North American power it is to the interests of Great Britain to give its moral support to the Monroe Doctrine and there is not 'the slightest possibility that after John Bull has collected his debt from Guatamala in his usual (Vigorous and effective manner he will withdraw ihis armed forces from Guatamala as he did after he had collected his debt from Nicaragua in the same fashion. The sooner the anarchy-ridden Central
American and Caribbean governments learn that the Monroe Doctrine was not designed to make it possible for them to avoid paying their honest
debts the better it will be for all concerned.
"Better Babies" Movement By standardization the American people have produced high-grade grain and live stock which has won the admiration of the world. And now a movement, much more important than the improvement of our grain crops and our live stock, has been launched. It is for better babies, and this twentieth century miracle is also to be wrought by standardization. Taking an active part in this campaign for the improvement of American citizenship is one of the most progressive and widely-read home journals in this country, "The Woman's Home Companion." The part the "Companion" is taking in this work is promoting baby shows of a new kind, at which children are judged not for their beauty but for their health. Twelve states are now giving practical support to the movement for better babies and a nation-wide publicity campaign to instruct parents
in the proper methods for bringing up their
children so they will be healthy and intelligent men and women has been started. Probably the most powerful organization back of the better babies movement is the New York Milk Committee which has accomplished wonderful results in the conservation of child-life in the metropolis. Speaking of the new kind of baby shows now being promoted a writer in "The Woman's Home Companion" says : "At these new contests, correct proportions, fine human mechanism and intelligence, not
dimples and curling locks, win prizes and put on their mettle the parents of babies who fail to qualify. You cannot make a homely baby over into a dimpled cherub or Cupid, but you can make a delicate, dull child strong and bright. No baby is permanently disqualified in a better babies contest. Straight ahead stretches next y with the chance that sensible, scientific
care, as outlined by the physicians in charge of
the contest, will evolve a better baby for the next fair. "A better babies contest is just about the most optimistic and hopeful gathering you can picture. Its appeal is universal and unfailing. It
appeals to scientists, those grave men who, in
the centers of learning in Germany, Bohemia, France, and England, are forming societies for
the conservation of child life, a valuable asset to every nation. It appeals to physicians, who know
how much misery could be prevented, how much unnecessary disease abolished, if babies were
given the right start. It appeals to state and city officials, who know that healthy children mean a healthy municipality and state prosperity. And
it appeals first, last, and always to the parents."
THE SMALL DREAMS By Frances Chesterto
When 1 was a young girl I dreamed great dreams Of giant castles fashioned on a hill of gold; The gold Is but a gorse-bush, and haply It seems My castle's but a cottage, now that I am old. Now that I am old, I dream small dreams Of tiny feet that falter, and tiny songs unsung, Tho I heard the trumpet blare and saw red gleams From the flying feet of Cherubim, when I was young, When I was a young girl I dreamed long dreams Of over flowing rivers and earth and sky unrolled; My sky's a window square, the rivers are but streams. And the earth is a hedged meadow, now that I am old. Now that I am old, I dream short dreams Of small warm woods and little paths among; I who saw stretched shadows and the sun's long beams On the cedar trees of Lebanon, when I was young. And youth is a memory with its long, deep dreams, Its venture unadventured, the glory still untold; But I can keep for ever, unashamed it seems, The small dear dreams of comfort, now that I am old. Westminster Gazette.

THE POWERFUL BUG
Lecture by Dennis

Slide by William
See the bag! It looks like a fishing worm. But it isn't. It is the most powerful
hag in the world. Last year it killed more than 160,000 p e r s ons in the United S t a t es. More than 4,000 cit-i-rens of Ind-i-ana died in 1912 be-caase this Mr. Bug got the best of them. He is small, is this little bug. The pic
ture is ser-er-al mill-ion times larger than the real thing. You could put several hundred thousand of these bugs on the head of a pin. The brothers and sis-ters of this lit-tle bug go almost anywhere. They get in the milk we drink.
CD
They get on the meat we. eat. They find their way to the regetables we buy at the cor-ner gro
cery. We breathe them when the wind blows the dust of the street toward us. This Mr. Bug is a blood -thirsty lit-tle brute. He kills one person out of every ten. Would you like to know hit name? It is Mr.
Tu-ber-cle Bacill-us. When he gets the right kind of a hold on you, you have consumption. Wouldn't you like to know how to kill him before he kills you? Th Indiana Association for th 8tudy and Prevention of Tuberculoma,

To this class has been added "A Book of Hand-woven Coverlets," by Eliza Calvert Hall, author of "Aunt Jane of Kentucky." There is hardly a family of more than a generation in this part of the country but that possesses a hand woven coverlet, the work of an ancestor. The patterns and weaving of these bed covers forms an interesting historyThe designs themselves are worthy of study on the part of designers. The book is handsomely printed and illustrated and makes a valuable addition to the Art Reference room.

GARDEN MAGAZINES. "The Garden Magazine" relating to the raising of both flowers and vegetables, comes monthly to the reading room. The bound volumes, a com
plete file, reaching back several years, are issued from the circulating
department.
"Country Life in America" and "American Homes and Gardens" are also interesting to the home-maker. They may also be found in the Reading room and are also bound and issued as above.
LANDSCAPE GARDENING. To those who are planning a garden, either large or small, and those
who perforce who must build their gardens in their minds, we would recommend the reading of Grace Labon's "Landscape Gardening Book." One idea to which she persistently recurs, a matter generally overlooked by gardeners, is that "the indi
vidual specimen must always give way to the effect of the mass as a whole." Most gardeners are collectors, not landscape artists. They plant rare specimens and look after their welfare and development instead of massing plants as they will form a pleasing picture.
ON CITY PARKS. In the May number of the "Bookman" (in the reading room of the li
brary) is an article bv MaeterlirV. !
"Our City Gardens," which teems with suggestive ideas. Of our city parks he says: "You
really abuse the innocence and the !
credulity of the town dweller by offering him, Instead of the heavy shadows for which his nature longs, paltry ciumpa of verdure, flowers in rows j
and worn out grass that remind him
but too closely of the threadbare car
pet of the bedroom whence he has just escaped In vain."
LIST OF BOOKS. The list of books upon gardening
and floriculture is too long to print
in full. The following are particularly attractive: Earle: Old Time Gardens. Ely: Woman's Hardy Garden. Ely: Another Hardy Garden. Ely: Practical Flower Garden. French: Book of Vegetables. Fullerton: How to Make a Vegetable Garden. Hexamer: Asparagus. Tabor and Teall: Garden Primer. Hemenway: How to Make School Gardens. Doubleday: American Flower Garden. Folwsll: Book of the Chrysanthemum. Lynch: Book of the Iris; Roses and How to Grow Them. Roberts: Book of Old Fashioned Flowers.
