o.Baby Week.

Baby Week. a movement in
augerated by the Children's
Bureau of the U. S. Government
and made nation wide by the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs, is to be observed in Lex
ington the week of March 4th.
The purpose of Baby Week is
to bring before the citizens of
the community the Importance of
the baby in the community life and
by educational means to empha-
size the necessity for continued
care of the babies and to impress
on the community the fact that
a large proportion Of the deaths
of babies is preventable. It will
startle many people to learn that
over 800, 900 babies die annually
in the United States but more
startling still is the fact that a
large proportion of these babies
die needlessly, die as the result
of ignorance on the part of the
parents as to proper care of the
baby as well as the result of ig-
norance or neglect which almost
amounts to crime on the part of
the community regarding sani-
tary surroundings.
During the summer months
thousands of babies die from dys-
EMERY, etc., contracted through
and water which had be-
come contaminated by the fly.
Such practical everyday facts
regarding her baby should be
brought plainly to the attention
of the mother and she will be-
come intensely interested and
her baby and other babies will
be saved. We believe the annual
observance of Baby Week will
result in getting these facts be-
fore the parents and the com
munity better than by any other
means and will be a wonderful
help in civic sanitation. We
therefore heartily endorse the
movement and assure the Wom-
Club of Lexington of our
enthusiastic cooperation.

Campaiqn of Southern Cities.

Representatives in commercial clubs
Of important cities in the south met
recently ut Nashville, Tenn, to devise
ways and means Of exploiting and adj
vertising the section.
Realizing the South'S tremendous
business possibilities. many cities sent
delegates.
Business mel OF the sixteen states
south of the Ohio river declare capital
has failed to recognize latent CONNER
cial possibilities in this territory. They
contend that the fault is not SO much
with the capitalist and investor as in
the lack Of incentive offered big bust
ness to locate in the south and in a
failure to exploit resources and natu-
raj advantages.
TO acquaint the rest of the world
with existing conditions Il systematic
publicity campaign is planned to bring
about improved business conditions in
the south.
When fully developed and in opera
ton upon the basis proposed this cam
paign, it is promised. will be the most
effective i'll the history Of commercial
advertising.
Cities have successfully advertised
themselves, but never has any entire
section attempted such an undertaking.
Experts in publicity say this aspect Of
the campaign will of itself attract
worldwide attention.

Fun For the Riddles.

How many mothers know that chill
dren can be entertained by making

more), a handful of toothpicks. half a
dozen cloves and q few allspice to use
for eyes, Il carrot, q radish and an on
ion, together with Il few currants or
%raisins, some dried fruits and other
things that are available? Let the
child decide what kind Of animal he
wishes to make. You might suggest
the t%oothpicks be used for legs, wings
and tail and the vegetable be the body.
A turtle may be made by using the
cloves for legs and q raisin for the
body. y small piece Of white radish
with 4 long row Of broken t%oothpicks
sticking on both sides looks like Il
thousand legged bug. If this game be
used at parties prizes should be given
to the youngster who makes the best
looking animal, While the tot making
the poorest might be given q trifle to
pay him for the effort made. Let the
children guess the names of the ami
mails and the third gift be given to
the one who guesses the most in the

Some Beauty Hints.

Lack of sleep affects a woman's looks
at once. Woman is supposed to re-
quire eight hours sleep. Five excel

to eat enough, but not too much; drink
only water, walk two or three miles Il.
day, sleep eight hours and SANDER new
er. Fruit is a beautifier and should
be taken daily \. diet of oranges will
clear muddy compilations and reduce

Sufficient sleep is more conducive to
good looks than any artificial means
yet discovered by the beauty doctors.

STERN OF BRITISH MERCHANT VESSEL
SMALL ARMAMENT.
ing of merchant vessels has been de
fined by our state department as fol
lows:
A merchant vessel OF belligcrent nation
ality may carry an armament and ammu-
milton for the sole purpose Of defense
without acquiring the character of n ship
of war.
The presence of an armament and am
munition on board Il merchant vessel Gre
ates q presumption that the armament is
for offensive purposes, but the owners or
agents may overcome this presumption by
evidence showing that the vessel carries
armament solely for defense.
. IS Is The result of the investigation
must show conclusivcly that the arlna-
ment was not intended for and will not
he used in offensive operations.
1t is explained that the caliber of
the guns must not exceed six inches,
that they be few in number and that
no guns shall he mounted on Il for
ward part of the vessel.
Against the application of these gen
cral rules the German foreign office
filed a protest and took the position
that Il merchant vessel is not permit
ted to defend itself against Il VAR YES
sci and that a distinction could not be
made between defensive and offensive
armament.
The official view here is that the
question of whether a gun was mount
ed ON the Persia will depend entirely
IN where it was placed. If mounted
forward officials realize that a conten-
ton can be made that the Persia was
armed for destruction of submarines
and had instructions to ram or destroy
the submarines.

WAS THE PERSIA
AN ARMED VESSEL?
A vexed Question Of Interna-
tiOnal Law.

One of the most perplexing phases
of the sinking CT the y. and O. liner
Persia is the fact that the Persia
mounted IL At inch gun. This was
disclosed in a dispatch from United
States Consul Garrels' statement at
Alexandria,, Egypt. The consul, how
ever, did not state where the gun was
mounted. The Hague convention pro
vides that a merchant ship may carry
a gun mounted on the stern for pur-
poses of defense without being con
sidered an armed ship.
