THE STORY LADY
tion of Women's clubs, held a national (
baby week. And for the first time in i
the history of the nation an effort was ;
made to make the mothers or tne j ;
country fetel that the governmnt was !
vitally interested in their children. As The people climbed trees and went out on the roofs of houses to
a result of baby week interest in birth '
registration was Increased to surpris
ing proportions and a new scientific
interest in children in general was
stimulated.
It is to the childrens' bureau that
we must look to provide an intelligent
basis for con elating the educational.
Judicial and medical influences in child
life aSid for standardizing methods of
dealing with; and caring for the na
tion's children. It is a sort of clear
ing house of Information aimed to re
duce to a minimum the mistakes and
wasteful experimentation of the vari
ous local agencies and individuals en
gaged in child welfare work. And it
especially invites inquiries from moth
ers of the nation, to the end that a
healthy generation, vigorous in mind
and body, may be reared to citizenship.
watch the battle which changed the horror into rejoicing
ANNIVERSARY PARTY
By Dame Curtsey.
But the statute fixed the annual ex
pense of the children's bureau at $25.
OOo. and the work proceeded bravely in
spite of the financial impediments, in
August. 1312. tJ2
Lurinr the first year of its estab
lishment the children's bureau made a
general survey of infant mortality in
this country as a basis for future
work. Although there !was no way in
which to ascertain accurately the pro
portionate loss, owing to the fact that
the Cnited States, unlike any other
civilized co tntry, has no general sys
tem of birth registration, it was found
that an actual loss of! 300:,000 babies
under the age of ofte year occurred in
1912. At least half of these might
have been saved (according to the first
annual report of the: bureau) had
measures of hyrriene and sanitation
been applied in time, and had a def
inite, standardized individual and civic
interest been aroused in juvenile con-i
ditions generally. Tills finding pre
sented a grave problem, inasmuch us
it has been agreed that conditions
which destroy so ruthlessly the multi
ture of youns lives irk a community
must result in crippling and maiming
many others, and must: have a deplor
able effect upon the health and vigor
of the entire community. The investi
gation regarding infant mortality
brought out strongly the necessity for
the establishment of
standard birth
registration requirements throughout
the. nation, artd to this lend further in
vestigation was started;
Soope of work-,
The matter of child labor was also
taken up by the children's bureau, and
a summary of the child labor legisla
tion in every state in the union was
prepared, showing minimum ae of
child work rs, hours of work, prohib
ited work and other features which
had been made the subject of legisla
tion. This revie. has been published
with the idea of furnishing a basis for
intelligent work to be (done by those
legislators and club members and in
dividuals who are interested in the

Bureau Is Bnlarg'.d.
During the first two years of its
work the children's bureau so onclu-
iveiy aemonstrated its value that at
the request of its chief. Miss Lathrop.
the staff was increased from 15 to 76
persons, and the appropriation wa in
creased from $25,640 to $164,640. The
'new positions created included experts
in nygiene, social service and statis
tics, field agents, research and statis
tical clerks, and other minor positions
necessary to carry on the work of the
bureau. The work extended accord
ingly, and investigations were pros
ecuted on a more adequate scale. The
correspondence ,of the bureau, which
had assumed amaxfngly large propor
tions during the first year of the bu
reau's establishment, kept on increas
ing, and information was dispensed to
mothers and persons interested
throughout the nation on subjects in

The first anniversary of the wed
ding day brings the jolliest kind of a
celebration, the "paper" wedding. Very
pretty table clothg and napkins come
in paper, so they are Just the thing
for the dining room table. If these
are not obtainable, get plain white
paper and make a border of the lace
paper used for pantry shelves. Cse
paper flowers in decorating, and beau
tiful portieres and draperies can be
made by cutting crepe paper into strips
and hanging it from grills, doorways
and over the lace curtains. The invi
tatione may be inclosed in tiny Japa
nese lanterns and delivered by mes
sengers, or they may be fcent by' post
in the ordinary way.
If one cares to go to the trouble,
the hostess may wear an entire gown
of paper, and request her guests to do
the same. Provide a supply of paper
snapping caps, which wil! afford much
merriment. The ice cream or ice can
be served in paper cases,, also the nuts
and bonbons. In fact, the resources
of paper are almost endless. For
amusement hats and aprons of paper
could be made, also the cutting of sil
houettes and drawing pictures of
events in the first year of housekeep
ing experiences, prizes being awarded
according to vote. If desired 4he
whole scheme may be carried out a
la Japan, for there are so many ar
ticles of paper of this character.

Care of the Teeth,
Dental decay is caused by the ac
tion of acid on the hard substance of
the tooth.
This acid is formed, from the de
composition of starchy and sugary
foods, which cling about the rrevices
of the teeth long after the meal is
over.
Soft, starchy or sugary foods, such
as sweet biscuits, cake. Jam or mar
malade, soaked bread, milk puddinggs,
chocolate or1 sweets of any kind are
always injurious if eaten at the close
of a meal. ,
All foods which require thorough
mastication act as natural tooth

the water's edge and sunk was the
new steam frigate, the Merrimac.
The confederates . found that this
ship could be -rebuilt, so they raised
her., cut off her sides and transformed
her into an ironclad ram, with slop
ing . sides and an iron beak. Her
plates were greased with lallow so
that the shot from the enemy might
glance' off more readily. -And tiien
they renamed this ship the Virginia
In the early spring of the year
I 1S62 there, was lying at anchor In
Hampton Roads a fleet of five Amer
ican ships. And as the people of
Hampton looked out upon these" five
frigates th.y. felt very well protected
from any dangers by sea.
The stately wooden ships, with their
towering masts floating the Stars and
Stripes and with their furled white
canvas, were . indeed an imposing
sight. From their portholes were
seen the black muzzles of great guns
all ready to deal out death and de
struction to any boat waging warfare
with them. And there they waited In
the harbor, t.h Cumberland, the Con
gress, the Minnesota, the Roanoke
and the St. Lawrence.
Then on the 8th day of March sud
denly there appeared a strange ship.
She: was . low and lone and the part
tbati was above water slanted like a
mansard - roof and was covered over
with sheet iron plates, which gleamed
ilk., a coat of shining- Armor. Her
long-pointed ram, .stuck'far out at the
prow and through her black portholes
protruded the cannon. She truly
looked her part that of a death-dealing
monster of the deep.
"Vhat will she do?" questioned the
astonished people oi shore. "Is this
a trial trip or is she about to fire?"
The; people crowded down to the
water's edge; they climbed trees and
went out on the roofs of houses so
that they might neiter see this strange
ship that -was steaming toward them.
Captain Buchanan, the commander
of the Merrimac (or the Virginia,
lost 'no time in maneuvering.
"No. this is no exhibition, no trial
trip!" gasped the people. "That black
demon looks ready for war!" And
they watched the Iron-clad monster
steam steadrly toward two of their
great ships, the Cumberland and the
Congress.
The Cumberland opened fire with a
roar that echoed and re-echoed across
the water. The Congress also opened
fire, and together they poured forth
shot and shell upon the advancing
ship, but the shots bounced from
the shining sides of the Merrimac
like hailstones from a slanting root
of a barn.
On the platform of the roof of the
Merrimac the captain was " standing,
and as the boat drew near the Cum
berland h. shouted: "Do you sur
render? Strike your flag!"
"Never!"' was th. reply of the gal
lant Captain Morris. "It Is better to
sink, than to yield!"
Then his men cheered and cheered
him anf they fought- like demons,
loading, firing and then i reloading
their guns. A shell from the enemy
killed and wounded ten of the guns
their places, and the deadly firing
kept on.
Suddenly the great Cumberland
trembled all over, for the Merrimac.
with her terribje beak of iron, rammeJ
Into the wooden side of the Cumber-1
land and, like a great knife plunged
Into a soft cheese, she quickly cut a
huge hole in the Cumberland.
The Merrimac then tried to back
away from the Cumberland, but the
tide was coming in and she swung
suddenly about, and breaking her
ram sharp off she left It in th. side
of the sinking Cumberland.
Every one on board the Cumber
land knew that the boat had been
dealt a death-blow and was sinking
fast, but still the bat t Id raged and
the crew fought on like mad men.
The deck was red and slippery with
the blood of the wounded and dying.
but the plucky mariners would not
give up and kept on at their guns,
and the cannon were heard to give
one last dying gasp as the great ship
sank down into the sea.
Many a brave sailor gave up his
life and went down with the Cumber
land Although they knew their boat
was doomed and sinking, they stayed
by their guns and th. Stars and
Stripes were flying from her mast
head as sHe lay there stranded.
The poet Henry W. Ixingfellow. in
his poem, "The Cumberland," gives a
fitting tribute tp these brave sailor
boys who gave up their lives for
their country:
Ho! brave hearts that went down in
the sea!
Ye are at peace in the troubled
stream.
Ho! brave land! with hearts like these
Thv flag, that is rent in twain
Shall rie one again.
And without a seam!
The Merrimac then attacked the
Congress and ran her aground, but
she fired her guns until the red-hot
shells from the tnemy set her on
fire. She was an old wooden boat and
had had 40 years of seasoning, so
she burned like a torch. Her com
manding officer was killed, but many
of her crew were safely landed.
"What would the terrible black
monster do next?" questioned the peo
ple, in a panic, but fortunately the
night came on. and before destroying
the other three ships the boat had to
wait until morning.
All over the country the news was
flashed of the death-dealing demon of
the seas and the people were mad
with fear.
Would the monster steam up the
Potomac and destroy the capital city,
and would it go to Baltimore and
bombard thatVity?
She miRht sail on up to New fork
Jiarbor and destroy all the shipping
there and thep sail on to Boston.
There was nothing to stop her.
The telegrams spread this new
like wildfire, and it was a night of
terror. The next morning. March
was a bright, beautiful Sabbath .day;
the blue sky was reflected Hi the
deep blue of the sea. There was a
promise of spring in the air. but the
hearts of the people were dark with
fear. And at daybreak the shore
was lined with anxious watchers, who
were waiting to see what move 1 he
Merrimac. would make next. They
were powerless to help themselves or
to prevent further destruction and
death.
The Merrimac advanced toward the
Minnesota, but just as she was about
to open an attack a queer little craft
came out to meet her. This was a
small, flat boat, almost submerged
In the water, and covered over with
sheet metal. Amidships there was
an Iron cylinder which revolved by
machinery, and this round turret
carried two guns which could hurl
forth very heavy cannon balls.
As David went out to meet .th.
less interest. Clouds of smoke hung
over the harbor, and at times, they
could not see the small boat at all
and could but dimly make out th.
lines of the larger ship, but the roar
of the guns kept steadily on. Blow,
after blow came from tho revolving
turret of the Monitor and crashed
against the iron sides of the Merri
mac. She could not raro the Monitor,
for her sharp beak was brpken and
had gone down with the Cumberland.
The smaller craft could go up on th.
shoals, as she did not draw so much -water,
and th Merrimac could not
catch her there, .and the" greater agil
ity of the smaller craft made her able
to twist and to turn about her large
and clumsy opponent.
Captain Worden and Lieutenant
Green of the Monitor made the most
bf every move of their tiny -boat, and
the "cheese box" turret swung about
while the great guns hammered away
at the enemy.
At last a lucky shot from th
Monitor hit an unprotected spot on
the side of the Merrimac and her en
gines began to give out. After th.
two days of hard fighting her men
were exhausted, and the crews of
both ships ware Almost suffocated
under the heavy armor decks. Th
frames of the iron roof of the Mer
rimac were sprung and shattered,
while the turret or the Monitor ai
dented with shot.
Captain Buchanan smw that nothing
further could be gained. They had
fought steadily from l:30 until 1.
o'clock, and he coold not orrcoiim
that small craft. In fact.' the Merri
i3c was feeble now and disabled and
leaking badly. And so he drew off
and the Merrimac steamed slowly
back to Norfolk, while the people
cheered and cheered s the -plucky
captain brought the battered litlU
Monitor safely into the Hampton
. harbor.
All over the country the telegrams'
carried the glad news, changing th.
night of horror into a day of rejoic
ing. The people thanked d that
the country wss saved. No ships t
could destroy Washington now. or
capture Baltimore, or trv to reach
New Tork or Boston. The little Muni-
tor had saved their seaport towns by
this Important victory.
