(These articles are based on Ques-
tons asked by mothers who have
turned to the Woman's Home Compan-
ion or assistance in the difficult and
delicate task OF rearing their babies.
Each question presented and answer
ed here was asked not by one but by
many mothers. They represent the
general questions and problems of the
average mother. Mrs. Richardson Is
entirely willing to answer personally
any further questions that readers
may wish to send her)
How soon may baby sleep IN
room with open windows?
Practically from birth. The nursery
and the room IN which the mother Is
confined should be well-ventilated.
The window should be dropped from
the top to permit the impure air to
go out. In winter, the room should
have temperature of 70 by day and
"a by night until the baby is month
old. Then the night temperature may
be even lower.
2.-My baby takes cold when sleep
ing in q room with windows open.
What can do?
The cold does not come from the
open windows, unless the baby lies IN
draught. Protect the bed or crfn
by screen. Stand it in a corner out
of the draught. More likely the cold
is due to infection. Your baby has
come in contact with someone who
has cold. If you have cold, the
baby can catch it while you handle
him. Physicians advise mothers SUI
fering with colds to tie q soft ban
dage or handkerchief over their own
mouth when handling and nursing the
baby. II you do not take your baby
out for its daily airing, warn the old
er sister or nurse who does, not to
allow anyone to kiss the baby.
3.-How soon can my baby take hei
daily nap outdoors?
In summer, when three weeks old
In colder weather, not until three
months old and then when perfectly
protected. In summer the baby Is
dressed as for the night or in Its
little slip, and tucked in its carriage

about earning the necessary points

is little to choose In general effective
ness one over the other.
Mclaughlin is unquestionably the
most spectacular player OF them all
and in his chosen game he has no

however, than any OF the others, as
his ground strokes have never been
