C. S. Pietro has done an excellent
bust of the late J. P. Morgan for the
Italian town of Ascoll Piceno, to which
Mr. Morgan returned a stolen cope of
great antiquity and value which he
had bought as a collector after it had
passed through various hands. So
pleased was the Morgan family with
the bust that it commissioned Mr.
Pietro to do two replicas which will
be . placed, one in Mr. Morgan's office
and the other in the Morgan library.

PARENTS' EDUCATIONAL
BUREAU IS DEFENDED
Work of New Institution la Not Overlapping Field of Other Organizations
of Similar Nature Already Established, Says Officer.
BY BERTHA TAYLOR VOORHOST.
THE law of supply and demand ap
plies alike to material and men
tal needs; where the demand be
comes insistent a supply of some sort
is usually created. The source and na
ture of the supply is frequently ques
tioned and criticised, even though the
need is self-evident, for there are al
ways a few who fall to see the good
in the very best of movements.
The need of practical education and
the disseminating among parents that
most necessary of all knowledge, how
to prepare for, bear and rear their
offspring, has been duly recognized,
and for some three months past the
Parents' Educational Bureau. 551
Courthouse, has been meeting the de
mand with supplies of literature, dem
onstrations by practical nurses, scien
tific examination of babies by physi
cians who specialize in children's dis
eases, free consultations, talks to
mothers and exhibits of complete
equipment for the nursery, including
model wardrobes, simple and practical.
"But why," it has been asked, "should
the Parents' Educational Bureau be
given valuable space in the County
Courthouse?" "Why should the
Mothers' Congress conduct this bu
reau?" "Is it not overlapping the work
of the Juvenile Court, the Social
Hygiene Society, the Eugenic Associa
tion, the Health Board, the People's
Institute and various other established
organizations?"
For the enlightenment of the few
who seemingly desire to be shown
"why." It may be well to give a brief
sketch of the apparent need which
suggested the establishment of the
bureau.
Eugenics Department Popular.
In co-operation with the eugenics
department of the State Fair at Salem
last year, the Oregon Congress of
Mothers installed an exhibit and a ma
ternity section, which so appealed to
parents from all parts of the state
that a special request was made by
O. M. Plummer. of the Union Stock
yards, well known as the "father of
eugenics in Oregon," and by others
who had been impressed by the eager
demand of the throngs who visited

The' battleship "Iouisiana" is the

The Count and Countess Lonyay are
now in Brussels in connection with the
claim of the Countess Ionyay who was
Princess Stephanie, daughter of the
late King Leopold, of Belgium, and the
Princess Louise, another daughter, for
the entire Congo property left by their
father, valued at $14,000,000. The Prin
cesses have decided to appeal to the
Court of Cassation against the judg
ment of the Court of Appeals, which
dismissed, on April 2, their claim to
this property. The Princess Stephania
was first married to Archduke Rudolf,
the only son of the Emperor of Austria,
whose death has always been a mystery.
She married Count Lonyay 1n 1900. The
Count's full name and title is Eleraer,

established. The requests became so
Insistent that grave consideration was
given to possible ways and means to
carry out the proposed plan.
A considerable sum was raised by the

the Mothers' Congress and Parent

augmented by individual subscriptions
and voluntary district contributions.
Application was first made for space
in the City Hall, but space there was
.t a premium, besides It was felt that
:he work would eventually become
slate-wide, and it seemed more lilting
that the county should provide head
quarters for the present. This makes
possible co-operation with the Juve
nile Court and with the District Attor
ney, the latter having expressed a very
positive opinion that much of the de
linquency of the youth of today might
be directly attributed to the laxity of
parents. Both he and Judge Gatens
have paid high tribute to the bureau,
as has also Judge Cleeton and Judge
Morrow and many of the County Court
officials.
Criticisms Are Answered.
To review the work that has been
accomplished by the bureau during its
short existence would be well nigh im
possible, first because much of it is of
a very confidential nature, but further
because of the volume and variety of
detail involved. Those really Inter
ested have conie and have gone away
amazed, those critical have stayed
away, so far, but they are urged to
come and ascertain first-hand whether
the bureau is really overlapping any
of the various other methods for the
uplifting of humanity, and even so. can
we have too many such methods? True,
there should be some system by which
all these things can be accomplished
wisely ana economically, but has any
one tn public or private life set about
devising a system for conducting
movement until the germ takes life
and growth begins? Are not all educa
tional movements conceived and fos
tered by private means and personal

to the manual training; go still further
back to the Juvenile Court. All these
things were initiated and supported
privately before the public were con
vinced that they were a necessity; but
it is conceded now that they are a ne
cessisty, and so, too. Is the Parents'
Educational Bureau a necessity. Ask
the mothers who have brought in their
ailing babes and have received the ad
vice needed; ask the parents who have
wayward boys and girls. Yes, and ask
the officers of the other organizations.
The secretary of the Social Hygiene
Society will tell you that the co-operation
of the parents" bureau has meant
much to them in their work; the direc
tor of the People's Institute is more
than pleased and proud of the work of
the new organization; so, too, are all
who have made investigation and un

a well-formed drill team left last Fri
day for Denver on a special Western
Pacific train to attend the Triennial
Conclave of all the Knights Templar of
the United States.
The California Commandery, under
the leadership of William C. Hassler,
commander, mounted on a white horse,
will act as escort of the Grand Com
mander of the United States and the
rest of the commanders will be mounted
on black horses, which are now being

These horses are from the famous En
wosd Farm at Colorado Springs, and
there is not a single white spot on any
one of them.
Three years ago the California Com
mandery led the parade in Chicago and
their coal black horses caused a con
tinual round of applause along the en
tire line of march.
A touring car will be given to the
commandery making the best appear
ar.ee. and as California Commandery is
yjt&Vg&i' ?-'A
the only mounted commandery in the

boys expect to win again, as they have
defeated all teams for nine consecutive
conclaves. The trophy is a $3500 loving

ried on the special train and given to
the Eastern sir K.nignts. Fifteen thou

Spanking as a means of disciplining
nusoanas wnu ao not aevoie enough at
tention to their wives was suggested
publicly from the Superior Court bench
in San Francisco. It was Judge Buck
who was speaking and the case was
that of Julia A- against Joseph A. Hef
fernar for divorce. Heffernar, who is a
clerk, admitted on the stand that he
had taken girls to dances since his mar
riage in July, 1909. He also pleaded
guilty to taking his half holidays in
company other than his wife's and i
frequenting moving-picture shows
the neglect of the higher-priued the
aters. to which alone his wife wouli
consent to accompany liim.
When he was all through with hi4
testimony Judge Buck read him a lec
ture.
"Did it ever occur to you," said thi
court, "to take care of your chlldrei
and let the wife go out? It doesn't ap
pear that you have appreciated havinsj
a good wife. You apparently do noi
appreciate that you are a married mai
and not a boy any longer and that yoi
can't go out with the boys' every night
Tour wife is entitled to go out as mucr
as yourself. Moreover, you seem t
expect her to stay at home like a hors
tied in the stable. But I would cai
your attention to the fact that you
wife is a woman, not a horse. A mar-G
ried man who takes girls to dance
after his marriage deserves to be pil
loried and also to be spanked. '
The judge refused to grant a divorce
saying that he was in hope a recon
ciliation could be effected.

Malor Hurst has studied the childre:

When both parents have red hair, al
the children are red.
When both parents have brown hair
either all the children or most of therd

When one parent is brown and th
