Better Babe" Movement

BY Standardization the American people have
produced high-grade grain and live stock which
has won the admiration of the world. And now
a movement, much more important than the i'm
provement of our grain crops and our live stock
has been launched. It is for better babies, and
this twentieth century miracle is also to be
wrought by standardization.
Taking an active part in this campaign for
the improvement of American citizenship is one
of the most progressive and widely-read home
journals in this country, 'The Womans Home
Companion The part the Companion" is
taking in this work is promoting baby shows of
kind, at which children are judged not for
their beauty but for their health.
Twelve states giving practical sup
port to the movement for better babies and ma
tion-wide publicity campaign to instruct parents
in the proper methods for bringing up their
children so they will be healthy and intelligent
men and women has been started. Probably the
most powerful organization back of the better
babies movement is the New York Milk Commit
tee which has accomplished wonderful results in
the conservation of child-life in the metropolis.
Speaking of the new kind of baby shows now
being promoted writer in 'The Woman's Home
Companion says:
"At these new contests, correct proportions,
fine human mechanism and intelligence, not
dimples and curling locks win prizes and put on
their mettle the parents of babies who fail to
qualify. You cannot make homely baby over
into dimpled cherub Cupid but you can
make delicate, dull child strong and bright.
No baby is permanently disqualified in a better
babies contest. Straight ahead stretches next
yeaC, with the chance that sensible, scientific

care, as outlined by the physicians in charge of
the contest, will evolve a better baby for the
next fair.
"A better babies contest is just about the
most optimistic and hopeful gathering you can
picture. It's appeal is universal and unfailing. 1t
appeals to scientists, those grave men who, in
the centers of learning in Germany, Bohemia,
France, and England, are forming societies for
the conservation of child life valuable asset to
every nation 1t appeals to physicians, who know
how much misery could be prevented, how much
unnecessary disease abolished, if babies were
given the right start 1t appeals to state and city
officials, who know that healthy children mean
a healthy municipality and state prosperity. And
it appeals first last and always to the parents"

Harvesting Their Crop

Having displaced American labor for the
cheaper labor of south Europe, eastern manufac-
turers no doubt are highly incensed over the ac-
lions of their new employees in striking for high
er wages and emphasizing their demands with
bricks, pistols and dynamite, giving the police
more experience in actual warfare than the
large majority of soldiers in the regular army.
While the average American regards with
disapproval the acts of violence and lawlessness
which have been witnessed at Lawrence, Little
Falls, Paterson and other points on the eastern
sAaboard it is only human if he takes quite a
little relish in the anguish displayed by eastern
mill and factory owners as they harvest the crop
of troubles they have sown in their blind scram-
BILE after the dollar.

The Cuatamalan Incident

An English warship has been sent to Guata-
anala for the purpose of collecting a debt that
misgoverned little republic has owed English
interests for number of years. The English
government has several occasions made vigor-
Gus representations to the Guatamalan govern
ment that this long standing debt should be paid
and despite the vigorous proddings of the United
States state department Guatemala has each
time evaded settlement of the English claims.
Now the lion is growing in earnest About two
weeks ago special Guatamalan ENJOYS called on
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan and urged
that the United States exert all it's influence to
prevent the proposed seizure of customs in Guat-
,amala by an English naval force to collect the
debt. These ENJOYS attempted to convince the
Washington government that such action would
be violation of the Monroe Doctrine, policy
many Latin American republics have always
shown hostility to except when they find it con-
venient to hide behind when hard pressed by
foreign creditors However, it appears that the
president and the secretary of state have turn
ed deaf ears to the anguished lamentations of
the Guatamalans and have construed the pro-
posed British action against Guatemala no more
a violation of the Monroe Doctrine than the &C
ton of Great Britain some fifteen years ago
when it's naval forces seized Nicaraguan custom
houses to collect long standing debt of that re-
pubic, without protest from tne United States
government.
Being great North American power it is to
the interests of Great Britain to give its moral
support to the Monroe Doctrine and there is not
the slightest possibility that after John Bull has
collected his debt from Guatemala in his usual
vigorous and effective manner he will withdraw
his armed forces from Guatemala as he did after
he had collected his debt from Nicaragua in the
same fashion.
The sooner the anarchy-ridden Central
American and Caribbean governments learn that
the Monroe Doctrine was not designed to make
it possible for them to avoid paying their honest
debts the better it will be for all concerned.

BOOKS ON ANTIQUES.

For collections of antiques the Ii
brary has number of books upon old
furniture, clocks and watches, silver
and pewter, china and porcelain. To
this class has been added "A Book of
Handwoven Coverlets," by Eliza Cal
vert Hall, author of Aunt Jane of
Kentucky"
There is hardly a family of more
than a generation in this part of the
country but that possesses a hand
woven coverlet, the work of an an
cestor.
The patterns and weaving of these
bed covers forms an interesting his
tory. The designs themselves are
worthy of study on the part of design
ers. The book is handsomely printed
and illustrated and makes a valuable
addition to the Art Reference room.
