BIBLE THOUGHT
For in the multitude of dreams and many
words there are also divers vanities; but fear
thou God—Ecclesiastes 5:7.

images of our hopes and fears.—Cato.
PENALIZING CHILDREN.
The records of the California health depart
ment will never again list the word “illegiti
| Mate" after the record of any child's birth.
*• All births are legitimate,” says a ruling
frorrv |he board, “and all children are legiti
mately born. »»
This follows a remark by Superior Judge
Leon Yankwich of Los Angeles, who was hear
ing a suit in which one of the figures was a
child born to unmarried parents. Reference
by the contending lawyers to the illegitimacy
of the child irked the judge, and at last he
burst out:
"There are no illegitimate children—only
illegitimate parents."
And the health board issued ihe following
statement explaining its rule:
*» If there is any illegitimacy involved in the
process it pertains to the parents and no)
to the children. There may be illegitimate
parents, but it is to be deplored that many
aections of our so-called civilized society still
insist on stigmatizing the children. This is a
relic of' the dark ages and\ should be abro
gated without further delay from our mindc
and actions."
i * «H perfectly true, and we can hope
that other states can follpw suit. Penalizing
a child for the misdeeds of its parents is
pretty shoddy stuff.
Brit the matter of illegitimacy isn’t the
only one in which children have to pay for
what their parents have done or have left
undone.
Go through any city and make tour of
inspection. Visit, first the "better class" resi
dence-districts. You’ll see big, roomy houses,
shaded by oaks and maples, with smooth
lawns where kids can run and tumble and
play all day long, enjoying sunlight and fresh
air and good health and safety. These kids
I get plenty to eat and have nice cool places
to sleep; when they're sick they get the best
medical care, and they have lots of nice
___ ihiny toys to play with. Their fathers, you
aee, are successful business men and have
plenty of money.
Then go down to the poorer quarters.
You .'won’t have any trouble finding them,
even in the great and prosperous age. There
ftren't i any smooth lawns or big trees there.
The Children play in the hot. dirty streets, and
now 'aind then one or another of them gets its
Ufa crushed out by a truck. In the summer
the kids swelter and fret at night, maybe
sleeping out on fire escapes to get a little
breeze. If any get sick they’re apt to be
out of luck; maybe the doctor can’t be called
until it’s too late, if at all.

TWO BIG QUESTIONS
*
When a man has reached middle life, or
beyond* it re to be presumed that he will be
able to answer thousands of questions that he
would not have known how to ask when he
was a youngster, ( The same is true of a woman.
To be sure there are some gTeat questions
that can never be fully and satisfactorily an
swered by mortal man; but 1 was a bit sur
prised, the other day, to hear a mature woman
ask, seriously, “What is truth and what is
love)” • Afi
This woman has reared an interesting family.
She is justly proud of every one of her chil
dren and of her children’s children. (Proba
bly you may also be surprised to know that
a grandmother asked, “What is truth and what
is love)”)
Here is a woman who was trained, from
earliest childhoocfNto speak the truth, and she
has taught her children and grandchildren to
love the truth. This woman, so l am reliably
informed, was the pet of her family as she
grew up, and is almost idolized by her children
and grandchildren. She, in turn, has given her
whole heart’s devotion to her loved ones and
friends.
And yet t£iis truthful, loving and loved
woman asks, seriously, and at her time of life,
"What i* truth and what is love)"
Here are two of life's biggest questions and
I hesitate to try to answer them. We under
jtand truth to be conformity to fact or reality,
but often in court two perfectly reliable wit
nesses give conflicting testimony concerning
the same occurrence—and both of them were
eye-witnesses. Two honest people saw and
heard, but one saw and heard more, or less,
than the other. Possibly one could see or hear
better than the other. Possibly one was more
excited than the other.
But, in a general way, surely we can all un
derstand that truth means fidelity, constancy,
sincerity, genuineness and veracity.
What is love) It is (I ) a feeling of strong
personal attachment or affection; ( 2 ) an earn
est desire and effort to promote the welfare
of another; (3) tender and passionate affection
for one of the opposite sex. Have you seen
the small parrots that are called "love-birds)’’
This name was given them because they show
great affection for their mates.
Again, let me say. Love, to the baby is a
bottle of milk. Love to the mature man or
woman is an opportunity to serve. Love to
the old man or woman is the Twenty-third
Psalm. Greater love hath no man than this:
that he give himself completely to another—
his country, his friend, his mate or his God.

A COMPARISON
OF WAGES.
If you don't think that the American laborer
ia a whole lot better off than his European
contemporaries, glance at these figures just
issued by the Department of Labor.
Bricklayers, for instance, average the fol
lowing daily wages; in France, $1.57; in
Germany, $1.84; in Austria, $1.39; in the
United States, $12.56.
_
Carpenters fare thus: In England, $2.96;
in Germany, $1.86; in Italy, $1.82; in the
United States, $10.16.
Building trades laborers draw these daily
rates: in Austria, $1.12; in Germany, $1.47;
in Italy, $.80; in the United States. $4.00.
And that difference isn' t eaten up by high
of living, either. Wages m this country
now average 129 per cent higher than in 1913,
while living costs are only 75 per cent higher.
In other words, an hour of work today will
enable an American workman to buy 30 per
ijjfiore than it would buy him before the
war.

Bertie Lou could not forgive Rod,
she decided, yet she did pity him.
Pitied him so that she could not
endure the thought of letting him
walk out of her door and perhaps
her life forever. At least she called
it pity.
This impulse, mood or longing,
whatever it was, that had brought
him out to Moonflelds might be
but a passing phase of his adjust
ment to his new existence. Bertie
Lou told herself that he might never
come again.
But what could she do? Rush out
and confront him? Banish all
thought of his return? s»That was
what it would mean, to reveal her
presenceno w, she believed. Be
sides, she did not wish to talk to
him. Her mind was still In a daze
She wanted time to think. But
how could she hold Rod until she
knew what to do?
There mustJbe some way!
Yet she was utterly Unable to
reach a solution. Rod went on with
Bessie from room to room while
Bertie Lou frantically searched for
a means to delay his inevitable de
parture. He did not seem in a great
hurry to go. She was thankful for
that.
The obvious thing, of course,
would have been to attract Bessie’s
attention and summon her to her
side for a moment and ask her to
obtain Rod’s address. But Bertie
Lou was too excited, too bewilder
ed, to think rationally. She did,
however, manage to motion to Bes
sie to come to her without being
seen by Rod. A perfectly crazy idea,
as she characterized i’., had come
to her.
Bessie excused herself and left
Rod alone. He could hear an ani
mated conversation going on in low
tones in the kitchen while he waited.
In a few minutes Bessie returned
to his side. She asked him point
blank if he liked the house. Rod
said yes, but that he ought to apol
ogize for having taken up so much
of her time inasmuch as he feared
the purchase of it would be quite
beyond his means.
Bessie did not appear to be disap
pointed.
"How would you like to live here?"
she blurted out, and Bertie Lou, in
the kitchen, groaned silently.
Rod looked startled. “Why—is
the house for rent?” he evaded.
"No, it’s not,” Bessiq informed
him, "and the owner doesn’t want
to sell it, either. It was built to
rent first then sh—er—lie decided to
sell it. But something has hap
pened and it's going to be taken off
the market."
* *
Much of this was true. Bertie
Lou had changed her mind about
renting the place. It was after a
visit to it, when she bad gone away
feeling that it would tie her too
much to ttie unhappiness of the
past to go on with her plans, for
the property. Every time
she came to Moonfields she was
thrown deeper into painful regret.
Instead of erecting a house where
in she could relive, in her memory,
a fleeting joy of her honeymoon, she
discovered that she had built, a pri
son. In it she could not escape ‘
from, thoughts of Rod that were so!
vivid she could almost feel his pres-,
ence in the little cottage.
Marco, who sometimes insisted on 1
coming out with her in spite of . her
protests, noticed that she was al
ways greatly agitated over the visits
when the house was near
ing completion and the furniture
was arriving.
When it was fully furnished at
and every piece was in its prop
place, Bertie Lou herself saw
she had built a heart breaking

regretted it later, after she had
the advertisement placing

her loathing to pari with it and if
Rod had been a bona fide purchaser
would have gone through with

But It was impossible to think of
lettiqg if go now thgt it had brought
Rod to her door. Unless of course,
her fantastic plan failed to work,
“If only Bessie doesn't fumble it.”
"The owner is looking for a care
taker.” Bessie was telling Rod while
Bertie Lou agonised over her ability
to Randle the situation.
"Yes?" Rod said politely He
could not see what that had to do
with him ■

and Bertie Lou flopped helplessly
into a blue chair.
Bessie might as well have held
up a signpost to Rod, she thought.
Offering a stranger a Job like that!
But Bessie had a surprise in store
for her.
“Of course we’d have to know
that you're a respectable man,” she
hurried along, before Rod could for
mulate an answer. Bertie Lou prick
ed up her ears. That wasn’t so bad
—maybe Bessie wasn’t so dumb af
ter all.
"What makes you think I need
a job?’ 'Rod asked. He wondered
if he looked hungry end some one
had taken pity on him.
Bessie was equal to the occasion.
“I didn’t think about it,” she said
undisturbed, “but you said you lik
ed the house and I just thought
maybe if you were all right and
wanted to live here, you might get
the job.”
Rod laughed. “Well, I’ve never
been a caretaker,” he told her,
thinking how little indeed he had
taken care of the most precious thing
In life. “What would I have to do?”
“Oh, I don’t know yet. I’ll have
to see the owner.”
"How about my seeing him?” Rod

only wants someone here until he
decides what to do with the place.”
Bessie added the last bit of infor
mation of her own account. It was
her private opinion that Bertie Lou
was going “nutty.” Making her ask
a perfect stranger to live here!
She expected anything now and was
preparing a way out for Bertie Lou.
“I don’t know but I’d like the
job,” Rod said musingly. “That is If
I can qualify.”
I can let you know more about
it in an hour,” Bessie said. “Sup
pose you come back then.”
“All right,” Rod replied. An hour
would give him time to think it over.
* * *
When he was gone Bessie stormed
out to the kitchen and demanded to
know what Bertie Lou had on her
mind. “Say, what is this?” she* ask
ed heatedly. “That bimbo’s going
to come back; I’m sure he is, and
what am I going to tell him? This
isn’t my idea of a joke at all.
“It isn’t a joke,*’ Bertie Lou as
sured her.
“Sweet spirits of nitre! You
aren’t really going to hire him are

Bertie Lou smiled. “He isn't a
