Very important are the proportions between cir
cumference of head, chest and abdomen. When they
do not correspond with the measurements on this
standard table. there, is a reason, and the mother
should seek till she finds it.
For an example, at twelve months, when Baby is
cutting teeth, the head, chest and abdomen should be
uniform in circumference. A head two inches larger
is out of proportion and usually means trouble for
the baby in %teething, convulsions, intense nervous.
ness or brain disorder. Such a child must be care
fully watched and screened from shock of any sort.
AT. twenty months. the chest should be gaining on
the head. and at no time should Eaby's abdomen be
larger than his chest. If it is, his diet needs chang.
ing. He is being fed too often or too heavily, or
there is gas on the stomach.
There are times, Of course, when even a normal
baby does not measure up to these standards. In
ca e of teething, he may lose flesh for a time, then
regain it, If attacked by measles, or w%hooping. cough,
or other juvenile ailments, ne will lose flesh. If he
does not regain flesh when the illness passes, he is
not conyalescing properly.
The babys mental and developmental growth
should correspond with its physical growth. Here
are some simple tests which any mother can apply.
They are taken from the Better Babies Score.Card.
At six months, a child sits alone, plays with sim.
pie objects, like a spoon or a pencil, grasps for a
watch, turns in the direction of unexpected noises
and follows moving objects.
At one year it stands without support, walks with
support, plays with toys, listens to ticking of a watch,
looks in the direction of noises, follows moving OBJ.
jects, says one or two words, shows that it knows
its mother by crying when taken from her, responds
to children and is interested in surroundings.
At eighteen months it both stands and walks with
out support, says quite a few words, cries when taken
from mother, follows intelligently what is going on
around it.
At two years 1t runs, joins words to make short
sentences, speaks without defects; is interested in
pictures. can point to eyes, nose, ears, etc.
At three years, it talks normally without defects,
repeats six syllables- perfectly--"It rans-I am hun
cry" Repeats two figures, "6-4, 70" enunerates OBJ
jects seen in pictures, and knows the names Of the
various members Of the family.
The mother should be absolutely certain that her
baby's sight and hearing are good. If she has reason
to suspect that his vision is imperfect or his hearing
defective, she should consult a specialist at once. 1t

The Birds in Winter

You are a %hospitable sort of person, and you take
pleasure in giving pleasure to others. Had you ever
thought of extending your hospitality to the birds
during the cold season, when the ground is frozen
and covered with snow. and their usual sources OF
provisions cut off? asks the Duluth Herald.
Many people do this, and it is a particularly nice
thing to do.
It's easy, too, and cheap. One good way is to take
suet-a solid piece weighing about a pound-and tie
1t to a tree or fence post, so it can't slip. Take two
strings, one at each end, and knot them firmly. Then

lied. At first a few, and then, as the good news
spreads, a crowd, will feed there. You can give Il
party every day and all day long.
Bread crumbs, too, and cracker crumbs are suit
able additions to the bill Of fare. 1t is a simple mat
ter to have the bread crusts saved, and then to crum-
Bile them up and throw them to the birds from day
to day. - ..- r,
1t is a kind and thoughtful thing to do, and it
bird company that you enjoyed SO much in the sum
mer.
Another pleasant thing to do is to make a brush
heap somewhere in an out-of-theway corner Of the
back yard. You will find the birds taking shelter
there ip bad weather. #,
None Of these things will cost you much. Any;
of them will provide entertainment for the bird neigh
bors that they will appreciate-and this will make it
worth. while if you are content to do good without
expectation of substantial return or widespread ad.
vertisement of your goodness.

The Immigration Question

The question of restricting immigration by iHfpos-
ing a literacy test as q requirement for admission
into this country is again before Congress. The inn
position of such a test would bar a great many of
the southern and eastern Europeans that now flock
to our shores. immigration from northern Europe
to this country has practically ceased. The English,
Scotch, Irish, Germans and Scandinavians are seek
ing new homes in South America, Australia and
South Africa. In other words, the old immigration
has been displaced by hordes of iliterate Sicilians,
Slavs, Greeks, Roumanians, etc.
The native population is dying out because of the
low birth rate, while in the families of recent immi.
grants children are born with reckless regularity"
New England is no longer a Yankee community.
Greeks, Italians and French Canadians have prac-
tically displaced the old New England Yankee farmer,
and the %birth-rate of the older Immigrants is also
falling. If immigration from southern and eastern
Europe continues at the present rate the result must
inevitably be the submersion, if not extinction, Of
the Anglo-Saxon portion Of the American people. The
initeracy test would not exclude immigrants from
northern Europe or Great Britain. 1t would bar the
~flfterate horde from southern and eastern Europe.
The coming Of SO many ignorant and %illiterate
people menaces not only the race but is also a danger
to our republican institutions. These people are not
fit for self-government. A democracy must be made
up of intelligent citizens who take an active interest
in its affairs. Exclusion on the ground of illiteracy
is only a proper regulation to safeguard our country.
Following Mr.. Taft's injunction to support the
president in his Mexican policy, we desire to say that
for "watchful waiting this country has never had a
Mexican policy that surpassed the present one. e.
