Officers of the Federation of Women’s Clubs of the state are ac- tively at work to make this week the most important one in the movement! of the development ofthe youth of| the state. It is proposed to go into as many of the communities of. the state as it is possible to-reach with baby clin- ics, explanation of diseases and -| fects of childhood, baby shows at the health standards shall be paramount, presentation of affairs of oral hy- giene and the thousand and one things attendant upon the realization of ‘baby health. The proclamation of the governor, | announcing the week as the one for the promotion of child welfare in the state follows: PROCLAMATION Child Welfare Week. WHEREAS, the future welfare of our state’ and country depends so| largely upon the education, conserva- tion’ and. of health, and development of the growing generation, and -WHEREAS, the proper physical; care of the children from ‘birth until young manhood and womanhood. is reached is of the utmost importance, determining the ‘character and value of the development to fit them for citizenship and the duties of life, and WHEREAS, in the exercise of this care it-is essential that the parents, the teachers, and the children them- selves—after they become old enough to understand—are made acquainted with the need and value-of caring for their. bodies, and especially the pro- per. care of their teeth, eyes, and other organs, and WHEREAS, it seems of the great- est: importance that every agency in- terested in Child Welfare, and in the development of the growingy genera- tion should combine in a week of ef- fort wherein the need of this caret should be ‘emphasized. NOW, THEREFORE, I, R. A. Nestos, Govertior of the State of North Da- kota, do hereby proclaim and_ set aside the week beginning May 7th as Child Welfare Week and urge that during that week the fathers, motb- ers and teachers of this state, join with the women’s clubs, doctors, den- tists, nurses of our state, in a con- certed movement to promote the wel- fare of the ‘children of our state, and thereby insure their health and pros- perity.

The counties are Billings, Grant, Kidder, Logan, McIntosh, Oliver, Rolette and Steele. One additional county, MdKenzie idoes not have a town, village or city in which special taxes were levjed during 1921. ‘The other forty-four counties are collecting 1921 taxes {pr some sort of special project by someone of the cities. and towns, Hettinger having the smallest amount for some one of its urban organizations. Cass County was high, with a levy of $267,455.07 for its villages, towns and cities. ~~ ‘Cass also leads the counties of the state with the largest amount of 1921 taxes levied for county special pro- jects, $122,642.72.

Mrs. Asquith’s failure to identify Jane Addams evoked pointed remarks from the New York correspondent of the London Star who says that “if Jane Addams had lived in England Mrs. Woodrow ‘Wilson would have Known about her.” . “Interviewed Mrs. Asquith has been: delightful,” he continues. “Her view of the yellow press was that it must be read by the Chinese. Was Lloyd George as popular as ever? ‘tf Won- der,’ said Margot, with a smile through | her cigarette smoke which, by the way, is criminal in Kansas even for men.” Og the audiences, the Star corre- ,spondent says that instead of reading ‘dbooks for themselves they learn by ear. The results must be shallow,” he “SPOOK HUNT” “TURNS NOW TO CALIFORNIA J. W. CHARGE AND THE WAREHOUSE WHICH WAS FIRST. TO BE BOMBARDED BY THE “GHOSTLY. SHOWER.” BY GENE COUN Chico, Cal., April 10.—The “Anti- gonish ghost” has a rival in this lit- tle California city where almost daily rock showers have for several weeks mystified investigators. Before the very eyes of investiga- tors and spectators who have thronged here from every section of ; California, rocks of various sizes up. to a small boulder appear ‘out of nowhere.” Vainly have the police of this and other cities attempted to agcertain the source of these “rock rains.” At first little attention was given the eerie rockfest. Small boys, us- ing some sort of a hurling device, were blamed. But when all efforts to locate any catipult-like machine and when countless searchers wit- nessed the. rocks falling even as they hunted—some being struck and injured—well, the matter ceased to be a practical joke. Roofs Damaged. -The original showers fell upon the warehouse of J. W. Charge & Son, but later other roofs were vis- ited, Much damage. was done the Charge place, windowg and shingles being broken.

Known natural laws have frequently ‘been laughed at and transcended by such manifestations. ; “It is my hope that. the phenom- ena will continue that We may con- tinue an investigation , in case no natural explanation can be found.

Little Ones Pinned Their Faith In God —Prayers Answered: El Paso, Tev., April 10.—Fifty little girls and a half a dozen nuns in the Sacred: Heart Orphanage ntar this city believe implicitly in God and be- lieve that He will answer the prayers of the little ones. Many persons vouch for this story of the answer to their prayer. Clothes, food, soap and other neces- sities are often needed at the orphan- age. The institution depends entirely on voluntary contributions, ‘Recently thete was no bread at the institution, according to Mother Paz, head of the orphanage. There were two ‘cows on the place, she said, but the hungry children cried for some nourishment other than milk, she said. In the evening Mother Baz called everyone into the chapel and announc_ ed a prayer for food. Qn’ bended ‘knees the children and nuns Joined in prayer. The children, disheartened, went to bed following a full hour of ptayer. They did not stay there long, however, Soon after the last “Now I lay me down ‘to sleep” had been said a truck backed up to the rear door of the or- phanage. Mother Paz saw ft and of- fered a prayer of thanksgiving, then ‘woke the children and served supper. The truck was loaded with food, in cluding 200 loaves of fresh. bread. After a hearty meal the children of- fered thanks, The driver of the truck |< did not tell who sent the food. He only said he had been paid to deliver t. (Mother Paz investigated ‘but it was some time until she learned where the food came from. It happened that after the little in- mates of the institution had been with. out food for two daysa-smelter near El Paso‘resumed operation. A bread line and soup ‘kitchen in‘use for the employes of thé smelter were discon. tinued..

One day last summer, a.seaplane on ‘its way from lower Michigan to Batch. ewana Bay,- winged its way. directly above her lodge. Children playing outside, called her attention to it, and with many ex- clamations of pleasure, the aged Ojib- way watched the craft yntil it had disappeared in the distance. This was her topic of conversation for days, although her auditors were far more interested. when Mrs. Whalen would relate great tales of the early days in Michigan: the bloody tribal confligts; and all the century old folklore. She spoke of thé-“Walk-in- Water” the first steamboat to appear on the Great Lakes in 1818 and would tell of ‘the coming of tho railroad, but all these things to her mind were trivial compared with the wonders of an air- plane.

Some have asserted that those rates are so high as to have \j compromised the spring season on the Riviera and to be endangering the summer season for health resorts. George Barrier, president of the as- ion asserted that the cost of ig_a hotel in France was now 480 per cent higher than before the war and that hotel rates had not been increased in that proportion. Hé complained of the taxes imposed up- on French hotel keepers and said that one hot2l which paid 95,000 francs in taxes in 1914 was compelled to pay 2,088,737 francs in 1921. He gave many instances in increased costs in hotel operation, chief among which was the application of the eight-hour day and advane2s in wages:demanded by hotel employes. .

Copizd and embossed and framed in scores of Armenian communities thnoughout the Near East, his pictur- esquely phrased ‘composition reads in part: “The Patron Saint of Armenia to- day is an energetic, active, athletic roung person. He is rich, not only in purse but also in heart. He is our American uncle; his start is the em- blem of his: gen2rous gifts. “Thus there has been another star added to the starry flag of our Amer- ican uncle, the Star of Armenia, We have bound purszlves as a nation to America, we have become in spirit an Asiatic state of the ‘great Paited, States of America.” Anatolia Looks Pretty Good To U.

The Minister of Public Works of the Angora government has informed newspapers there that American cap- italists have proposed to construct two railway lines, one from Samsoun to the Persian frontier, passing Erivan and Van and the other extending from Mossul to Bitlis.
