PRACTICE HOUSE
HAS A REAL BABY
Affords the Co-eds Practi
cal Education in the Care
of Infants.
Lincoln, .Neb.. Dec. 2. Assuming the
role of that messenger of the air which
the kiddie knows only as "stork" when
a new brother or sister arrives at his
home, Juvenile Judge W. M. Morning
has made possible the completion of
the family that inhabits the practice
house of the home economics depart
ment of the University of Nebraska by
placing such a bundle of fat, curves and
dimples to their care.
Kathryn Marie is the name of this
parcel of five-months infancy, although
she will remain incognito so far as her
last name is concerned. Enough it :s
to the matron of the house and those
junior and senior girls who will in turn
assume the role of "student mother,"
that Kathryn Marie is of a good but
destitute Lincoln family.
Kathryn Marie's adoption as a part
of the household of the practice house
was for the purpose of affording college
girls an oportunity to learn first hand
the fundamentals of intelligent care of
- the baby. Six sets of "mothers will
have been trained by the end of the
school year, as six junior and senior
girls in this department have a rota
tion six-weeks course with Kathryn
Each one of the six co-eds during the
practice house course must function in
one of six positions each week, rotating
so that each girl has experience in all
six of the positions of the course. One
eirl is to be "baby manager." and will
fce responsible for Kathryn Mane s
ckre that week. She will prepare the
bahy's food, see that she is fed accord
ing to schedule, bathed earh day,
clothes laundered and generally taken
care of. Miss Marie Fuller, instructor
of home economics and director of the
bouse, will personally hover over Kath
ryn Marie to see that the "student
mothers" do not go awry of the sche-
Once or twice a week Kathryn Marie
wil be taken to a clinic at the office of
two Lincoln infant specialists and the
girls wil have an oportunity of talking
with the doctors and getting an idea
of where the baby's care could have
been improved and by what methods.
The doctors will direct the girls to the
outward signs of improvement and how
to regulate diet as Kathryn Marie
grows older.
Bouncing in a white baby carriage,
propelled by a blushing co-ed, Kathryn
Marie ...Already is a favorite on the Uni
versity campus, around which she is
pushed for her daily airing.
BERNHARDT BUYS '
HER BURIAL PLACE
Paris, Dec. 2. With the purchase
of a tiny islet in the Bay of Biscay,
Sarah Bernhardt has practically com
pleted preparations for her death. The-
little rocky island is only a few acres
in extent, lying a number of miles oft
mainland near Belle Isle, where she has
a summer home, Bernhardt has specified
that she be buried on the island. The
island was purchased from the French
government for L200 francs. t
It is understood that Bernhardt has
made detailed plans for her funeral
and the design for the tomb to be erect
ed upon the isle. It is wellknown that
she already has purchased the casket
in which she desires to be interred. De
spite these preparations Bernhardt ;s
as lively and vivacious as ever. She is
appearing every night in "La Gloire" at
her theatre and critics declare that
her art is as great as at any time in
her career.

GOVERNOR WILL NOT
LEAVE HIS OWN STATE
Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 2. A pledge
to himself that he would not leave the
State during his incombeiicy, has caus
ed Governor Thomas C. McRae of Ar
kansas to decline urgent invitations
that he atend the annual conference of
State Governors at Charleston, S. C,
ih December.
Governor McRae's opinion that a
chief executive of a State should not
leave the State during his tenure in of
fice was expressed freely during his
campaign for Governor, and although
he did not make it a campaign pledge,
he endeavored to leave the impression,
he said, f that only matters of gravest
importance would cause him to go out
side of Arkansas, if elected. Thus far
he has not done so.
Three invitations to attend the Gov
ernors' conference in Charleston have
been received by Governor McRae, and
rejected.
Another pledge made by the Gover
nor before his election was that he
would not permit himself to become lia
ble to criticism directed at other Gov.
ernors for the number of pardons is
sued. In almost a year as Governor,
he has issued only two pardons one to
a man who had finished his term, and
one to a woman whose health demand
ed, freedom. ' '

METHODIST MEETING
HELD IN STATESVILLE
Statesville, Dec. 3. The pastors and
district stewards of the Statesville dis
trict of the Methodist church met at
the Broad Street church Tuesday, with
the presiding eldL'r, Rev. D. M. Lita
ker. in the chair, and L. H. Phillips,
of Newton, secretary. Representatives
were mesent from Caldwell, Catawba.
Alexander, Mecklenburg and Iredell
counties. A large and enthusiastic
gathering indicated something of the
interest of the Methodist forces in this
district. It was easy to plan and pro
vide for large things, both materially
and spiritually.
Ample provision was made for the
debt on the district parsonage and for
necessary repairs on the same. The
finances of the district were distributed
to all the charges according to their
strength. It was decided that at least
one revival should be held during the
"Winter in each pastoral charge, the
pastors assisting each other and enlist
ing the cooperation of church workers
in making full preparation for these
meetings m advance. The general
ou"tlook of the Statesville district,
which is now at the forefront of the
conference, i3 most encouraging.
ONLY ONE MAN LEFT
IN COUNTY FOR JURY
Lubbock, Tex... Dec. 2. Law violators
Df Hockley county demanding a jury
trial are going to have things easy,
Recording to Sheriff Stroud, who lias
Just completed' the first grand jury of
the newly organized county. Sheriff
Stroud traveled 1,200 miles to secure
the twelve men.
It was found after the grand jury was
Impaneled that there remained in the
county only one ather man qualified
to serve as a juror, hence, if indict
ments should be returned, thcrfl could
be no petit jury to try persons indicced.
The grand jury was discharged without
action.
Sheriff -Stroud's long jaunt was re
quired in serving the twelve m?n who
constituted Hockley county's first grand i
jury upon order of Judge W. R. Spen
cer, presiding judge of the First L-is
triet Couri to be held in the county.
Judge Spencer will not be able to hear
any cases in which a Jury is demanded.
Leveland the county seat of Heckley
county, has a total population of live,
although it is situated in a rich farm
ing country.
NO TRUTH IN CHARGES
MADE IN ASHEVILLE
Asheville, Dec. 2. That there is no
truth in the charges against high
Bchool girls, as brought out in the
trial of George Mask, a photographer
in whose studio, it was claimed, pic
tures of high school girls could . be
found in improper dress, was the find
ing last night of the investigating com
mittee, consisting of the city commis
sioners. '
The hearing, which had lasted for
two days and which had sought to un
earth every possible source of slander
and origin of rumor against the good
names of high school girls, came to a
close with the extra session last night
at police court. 1
When the records have been copied
by the court reporter and the Investi
gating committee given an opportunity
to look over the matter carefully, an
attempt will be made to name ' the
source of the slander.
Ask for "Jack FroSt" Salt. Your
grocer will have it.
