SHALL THE BABY BE ROCKED?

Chicago's Department of Health
is making an official campaign
against the world-old habit of rock
ing the baby.
DR.. Caroline Hedger, in charge of
, the field nurses, asserts that the
best cradle in the world is not a
good thing for a baby to rest in"
and that there is no more reason
for tossing baby about in order to
rest than there is for swinging about
grown-up."
1t may be very presumptuouS for
mere newspaper to take issue with
an experienced physician like Dr..
Hedger, but on behalf of the baby
we feel constrained to ask if the
doctor may not be mistaken in spite
of her technical training?
Rocking the babies undoubtedly
is carried to extreme in some cases.
There are mothers who are worn
out rocking the cradle. There are
infants who refuse to close their
eyes without rocking, because they
know that they have only to refuse
in order to be rocked. We have no
intention of advocating the kind of
rocking that spoils the child, but
it seems to us that Dr. Hedger is 60
ing too cruelty far when she says
that baby ought not to be rocked
at all, and that there is no more ex-
cuse for rocking a baby than for
rocking a grown-up.
Is it possible that DR.. HedgGr was
never rocked in a mothers arms,
or that if she was, her memory dates
back so short distance as to enable
her to forget the delights of it? Can
DR.. Hedger not even recall the re-
mains of the passion for being rock
ed, which exhibited itself at the age
of s, 10 or IL years in a mania for
swings?
Those same swings to-day would
make her violently sick, but they
were the acme of delight in that
transitional stage between babyhood
and youth. The swing is an echo
of infancy, You rarely see adults in
swings because they don't need them
and don't want them, and it would
seem logical to suppose that the rea-
son children do want them is be-
cause they need them.
Some of us can remember distinct
ly past the swing age direct to
mothers arms and having such a
vivid recollection of what that rock
ing meant to us-of it's soothing
qualities, it's power to charm away
grief, to tighten dull moods and to
calm the wearying restlessness of
childhood--we should dislike to see
the practice abolished altogether be-
cause of the decree of some learned
physicians.
The probabilities, however, are
that the mother instinct will be too
strong for the edict of Science. Ba-
bies always have been rocked and,
bless their clinging hearts! if they
have the right kind of mothers, they
always will be.-Harrisburg Tele-

GOVERNORS MEET.
State Heads at Spring Lake
Bar Politics.
WESTERNERS IN SPECIAL GAR.
Thirty of Forty eight Executives AS
semble In Annual Conference
Jersey Summer Resort to Dis
cuss National Questions.

Spring Lake. N. j., Sept 12.-The
annual conference of governors opened
here this morning. Efforts to get the
governors to discuss political condi-
tions in their home states and the
nation at large are futile and the
score or more of newspapermen who
descended upon the visitors are able
to get but little satisfaction
Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio
was one who had to answer many
questions, and he reflected the senti-
ments of the whole group when he
said that he had come here to gather
in lot OF information from the others,
who undoubtedly had come on the
same mission, and he was not going
to talk politics at nonpartisan gath
ering.
The meeting opened this morning
when Governor Wilson of New Ter
sey told the visitors how gratified he
is to welcome them in this state.
Governor Joseph M. Cary of Wyom-
ing made the response. In addition
to forming a temporary organization,
Governor A. e. Wilson of Kentucky
delivered an address on the possibil-
tiles of the governors conference.
This afternoon the governors learned
why Governor Norris Of Montana and
Governor ONeal of Alabama think
the powers of the executives should
be strengthened
There has been but one change
necessary in the program. Governor
John A. Dix of New York, who is to
deliver an address on the inheritance
tax and state comfy. will not be able
to get here on Thursday and that sub
ject has been put over until Friday
afternoon. Governor Deneen of Hin
ois. who was to deliver an address on
employers liability tomorrow, cannot
come because of the accident in which
he broke his leg. and Governor NJ. e.
Hay of Washington has been substi-
tuted This will occupy the time of
the conference tomorrow afternoon.
OF the thirty odd governors here
Governor McGovern of Wisconsin is
the only one who was officially au-
thorized by the legislature to attend
the conference, although some states
made appropriations.
Sixteen of the thirty-five governors
arrived here yesterday afternoon
ready to start work today. The first
arrival was Governor Hay of Wash
ington and he was followed shortly
by Governor Gilchrist of Florida and
Governor Kitchin of North Carolina,
whose presence was very much in
doubt. The Visitors from, the west
came in special car and were greeted
at the station by the members of
citizens reception committee, the
chairman of which was former Gov
ernor j. Franklin Fort
Spring Lake entertained the visitors
last night with a big display of fire.
works. A 1900 foot court of honor
has been erected approaching the new
Monmouth hotel, where the meetings
will be held, and this is Illuminated,
as has been the boardwalk. Nearly
every house in town displays the ma
tional flag. Tonight Governor Wilson
will give reception for the visitors
and tomorrow the whole party goes to
Fort Hancock on special train.

PICNIC AT LAUREL LAKE.

On Aug. %, 1911, a party of girls
met at Laurel Lake for picnic
Those present were Leila Keesler, Lii
lian Garfield and Vera M. Rutledge
Galilee, Pa; Bertha C. and Harriet
S. Seipp, Tyler Hill; Ruby Keesler
Canistota, N. Y; Helen Bender
New York City; Harriet Rosencranse
Hawley, Pa; Dorothy Lake, Staten
Island and Alma Canfield, and Helen
Jackson of Laurel Lake. A very en-
joyable day was passed by all. The
following is jingle" composed by
two of the girls describing the pic
mic:
On sunny day in August
We started out to take
A little picnic by ourselves
Down at Laurel Lake.
The road was hot and dusty,
The way seemed rather long,
But we continued our journey
Singing many song.
But we were exceedingly lucky,
We girls so bright and gay,
When Mr.. Seipp, neighbor,
Glanced along our way.
We piled our baskets in his wagon
And then we clambered in,
But after he had left us
We wished him back again.
At last we reached the grove,
And meath it's leafy shade
We found a cozy spot
And there our lunch cloth laid.
Our luncheon soon was ready,
Then each her place did take,
We sampled first the salad
Which was of Lela's make.
Our cameras were not forgotten,
So when we had all eat
We snapped few little pictures
Which would be hard to beat.
Soon Alma, a jolly lassie,
Who is staying near that place,
Came to join our party
With a smile upon her face.
We were later joined by Dorothy,
A Staten Island girl,
She's a capital hand at rowing,
She makes the oars just whirl.
So we passed the time in boating
And gathering lilies fair,
Singing songs and telling jokes,
Sitting by the water there.
Many other sports were INDUCED in,
Perhaps some were rather queer,
Till at last we journeyed homeward,
Hoping to meet again next year.

cites, and if he can afford it may in
extreme cases have his initials print
ed on his cigarettes. The name Art
makes its bearer trihe jaunty, much
as the name Ed does, only in a more
malignant form. He keeps slapping
man on the shoulder all the time
he's talking to him. Unless he has
friends who watch him closely a
man with the Art title will wear a
diamond ring even if he has to buy
it on the installment plan, and he
has poor judgment on theatres. He
will go to every punkerino musical
show that comes to town and enjoy
it, and when at last something fair
ly good happens along he will admit
to being bored to death.
