! WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
“The hand that rooks the cradle,’’ but
there Is no such hand.
It Is bad to rock the baby, they would
have us understand.
So the cradle’s but a relic of the former
foolish days,
When they jounced them, and they
bounced them, those poor dwarfs ol
long ago,
The Washingtons and Jeftersons and Ad¬
amses, you know.
They ‘ warn us that the baby will possess !

a muddled
i; we dandle him or rock him; we must j
carefully refrain;
He must He in one position, never swayed j
or never swung,
Or his chance to grow to greatness will be
blasted while he’s young.
Ah to think how they were ruined by
their mothers long ago,
The Franklins and the Putnams and the
Hamiltons, you know.
We must feed the baby only by the sched¬
ule that is made
And the food that he is given must be
measured out and weighed.
He may bellow to Inform us that he Isn’t
satisfied,
But he couldn’t grow to greatness If his
wants were all supplied;
Think how foolish nursing stunted those
poor weaklings long ago,
The Shakespeares and the Luthers and
the Bonapartes, you know.
We are given a great mission, we are
here, today on earth
To bring forth a race of giants and to
guard them from their birth,
To Insist upon their freedom from the
rocking that was bad
For our parents and their parents, scram¬
bling all the brains they had.
Ah! had they been fed by schedule, would
they have been stunted so—
The Websters and the Lincolns and the
Grunts and^ees, you know?

Great musicians of India
Care Not for Worldly Things
To the Hindu, music, like sculpture
and painting, Is a sacred art. Music
originated from Siva, one of the Hindu
Trinity, ijnd Saraswati is the goddess
of music end of learning in general. As
people look upon music as something
sacred, so it has become a highly spe¬
cialized art. Amateur musicians are
not much encouraged. The public
seem to say, “Do it well or don’t do
it at all; don’t play false with music;
it is too sacred for light treatment."
The great musicians of India are gen¬
erally ascetics. They care not for
name, fame or Wealth. They live a life
of comparative poverty. The Hindu is
of the opinion that a voluptuous or a
luxury-loving person cannot be a
great musician.
Chinese Clothing Ripped
Apart Each Time Washed
The Chinese wear clothes which dif¬
fer so radically in style from the
clothes of other nations that the
American manufacturer of wearing
apparel will find the Chinese market
for his goods limited mostly to for¬
eigners and to the comparatively few
Chinese who have adopted foreign
dress. Chinese clothes are iargely
made at home, being merely basted
together, and they are ripped apart
each time they are washed.

French Claim Ri 0 ht to Foast Eyes
Charmers From All

Paris.—“Men have the
right to feast their eyes upon the
nine beauties of aU nations.”
Such was the reply of the
able Epatant club to the
against the display of English
beauties at the Marlgny theater,
French women rose In indignation
j cried:
| "Aren’t there enough beautiful
en in France?”
“What object Is there iu beauty

inquired Maurice de Kobra,
on behalf of the club. “From the
liest times a man has never

boulevardlers of Paris and all
emphatically claim the right to

FRANCE FACES 10 YEAR TASK
Lorraine Plants May Quicken
ration of Steel Industry of
the Country.
Valenciennes, France. — France’s
steel and iron industry, virtually cut
in half by war’s ravages, is faced by
what engineers estimate to be an
eight to ten year task of reconstruc¬
tion. Details of the problem were re¬
lated to the correspondent of the As¬
sociated Press, who is visiting the dev¬
astated regions of France by special
government dispensation.
Engineering experts, however, say
the country’s steel and iron produc¬
tion may be quickened by the mineral
mining and metal-treating plants of
Lorraine, returned to France under
the terms of the Versailles treaty. The
seriousness of the loss to the industry
by war, nevertheless, Is heightened by
the great necessity for metal construc¬
tion throughout liberated districts and
the dependence of nearly 100,000 In¬
habitants of these regions on the blast
furnaces and metal mills for a liveli¬
hood.
‘L..,n ------ys Only $20.
Cottonwood Falls, Kan.—The big
slump in live stock prices during the
past few months is being strongly re¬
flected in public sales which have been
held by farmers of this part of the
state. At nearly all sales held re¬
cently all kinds of live stock have
brought surprising^’ low prices, with
horses probably the lowest. William
Duckett, a farmer living southwest of
here, sold a team for only $20 at his
sale a few days ago. Last ><prlng he
had paid $140 for one of the horses.
At another sale near this city recently
a farmer sold a horse for $25 after re¬
fusing $95 for the same animal a few
days before.
