At thé very outset, be fore any embJarrass- ing mlisunfderstanding arise s, we .desire to make it perf ectly clear thiat when. we -say "Free Bb Clinics" we d10 fot mean. that the babies are f ree.-'b Free clinics are f rée. This pos- Baby Cinicsililitv of misunderstand- ing reminds us of one we ran acrossý in a recent letter. "The two-year- old boy stuck close to his f athier, a plumip, darling littie rasc al,. with nothing 'on but 'a shirt." 0Of course the l)lunil) scantily clad rascal was flot the father. But our pres ent object is îiottogive aniusing exa,àmples.of, misplaced miodifiers but to poinit out ýt he alniost irumeasurable 'value of f ree clinics at which nmothers cap )e.sowf how to secure and miaintain the ýhealthi of ,their babies. E 'ery week such clinies are held in the village. hall in Wininetka, under the gen- eral charge of Dr. George F. M1utns. It is flot at ail difficult to give reasons for believing that these clinics are' of tremendous value. Diseases developed and- flot adequately cared for in the-earlvy years of a child's.hf e often handicap that child throughoôut his eni- tire lf e.

After putting up our. own littie summer bouse we made a trip three or more times a day to' bis well wbere we gçt a pailful of clear cold water for drinkingand, cooking purposes. But alter akfing for several, years tbese round trIps, each one, at least a quarter of a Wnîch ne. could raise and let tail a heavy drill.

At intervals he woullf t the drill out of the hole and. examine the sand, gravel, aîîd-day-that liad acctimùulate(l in the drill. Ve scarcely dared hope that he wotild strike a spring, that we shouki become the proud possessors of a flowing well, a gusher. Such, a well had been struck on a neighbor's property, and ýa stream of pure, cold1 spring water flowed right into bis kitchen sink.. If we could only have such a weIl we'(l fot only, have a springbox but' also a beautif ul, ittie. brook!1 But that good fortune was flot to be ours. Xater was struck at a depth of about 60 feet, water wbich rose almost to the surface. A very ittie, pumping now brings it to. the- top. Though flot a' flowing well, it is neverthe- less a real well., a f riend on whom we cali many tines .every day. XMTe note that eight states, including Minnesota an-d Wisconsin but flot Illinois, have passedJ laws prohibiting hitch-hikers f rom soliciting rides f rom motorists. The 'nit ý h motive behind such a law is the ich desire to protect motorists f rom Hikers damage and injury such as basý beeri inflicted upon over-kind 'motorists who have taken into their cars knights of the road of varying kirids. The practice of giving a 'ride to a strange hiker, usually a youth of ab out 20, is a dan- gerous one. Cases are on record of bikers who after bavirig been'taken into a car as, passengers have. turned. on their benefactors and stolen f romý them flot only such, personal property as money an-d luggage but also the automobile itsel f.' it is unplèasant to be oibliged to admit that it is flot uncommon f or those who have been .helped in one .way or another to show gross ingratitude., What one intelligently expects does flot alwa'ys hape.

I note with alarin mingled with pride that you are "thinking seriously" of publishing my catididacy for Congressman f rom the new 13th district. We have no doubts regarding. our ability, to do well the work required of. a Conigressm.an,, but we do, have d(oubts regarding our popularity. To be sure, many ladies have spoken of Our pleasing personality,: but this isflot conclusive evidence "of, our popularity. Little children hike us, but they can't vote. So you had better cease to think seriously of nominating us. Thanks just the same.
