asked appropriations of Sl9,3O0,0O0 foi

Prospects OF clearing out slides and re-

he would not set a definite date for

said work was progressing rapidly; that

and that emergency appropriations were
not needed.
Money for more schools and play

Officers Are the Most Vital
Need, Says Admiral
Blue
STATEMENT MADE
is MISLEADING
He Adds of Fletcher-Com-
plements Within 1000
Men of Full

Washington, d. c., Feb 5.-Rear-A d'
miral Victor Blue, chief of the bureau OF
navigation, declared to the House naval
committee yesterday that while the
American navy lis better of to-day than
it was three years ago and better off to-
day than it ever has BEEN" the most
vital weakness is shortage of officers.
When Secretary Daniels took Office,
the admiral said, he was faced by that
situation and by the further fact that
the number under training at Annapolis
was reduced one-half that year, from
natural causes. Every effort to fill the
academy had failed, he said, and it was
necessary for Congress TO act.
Admiral Fletcher's much discussed
statement that the feet was short 5000
enlisted men, he said, was misleading,
because the present compliments for the
ships were established years ago He
presented tables to show that American
ships carried more men, but fewer officers
than foreign vessels OF the same type.
What Admiral Fletcher meant, Adj
miral Blue said, was that the ships were
short 5000 men of the number which he
thought they ought to have, although the
of the ships were within
900 of being filed The enlisted per-
sonnet had been increased more than
5000 men since Secretary Daniels took
office, Admiral Blue said

months, once a week; and later once in
two weeks.
Breast-fed babies may be weighed just
before and after a nursing to determine
how much milk they are getting, and
to find out whether or not they need
supplementary feeding. They should be
weighed in exactly the same clothing
both times, and to determine the daily
gain, at the same hour each day.
The best scales are ordinary platform
balance scales such as are used in gro
Gerry stores. A special basket or pam
which fits on the platform, and which
will hold the baby comfortable is de-
sirable. Spring scales are less accurate
but are cheaper, and are better than no
scales Mt all. Most country households
have enough general use for good scale,
so that such a purchase win not be an
extravaganza. Many city mothers have
the advantage of being able to 60 to an
infant welfare station where the baby
may be weighed as often as desirable. In
these cases it is easy to keep a careful
record of the baby's growth.
The chldren's bureau has published a
bulletin called "Infant Care" which con-
tains directions for weighing the baby

weight This publication is sent free to

Success of the Presidents
Western Trip for Pre-
paredness Is Realized
CONGRESS WILL
BACK PLAN
Wilson Is Going to Be Hard
to Beat Next
Fall

Washington, Feb, with the presi
teut at home from his western trip yes
terday afternoon administration officials
and political advisers showed exuberance
over the reports OF the success OF the trip
and Congress hummed like beehive
with talk about it's results and the real
reasons for it.
Interest in the trip is keenly added to

disposed to take another swing into the
West and a swing into the South. IL Is
the understanding the president, who had
been warned he might get a chilly recep-
zion in the West, is 50 highly pleased
over the demonstrations that he wants
TO do more travelling.
Opinion is growing here daily that the
preparedness programme in general
way is certain to pass Congress. Some
details of it will be altered, as the con
tinental army, but in substance it appar-
emily cannot be headed off, As matter
of fact, the enemies OF preparedness real
ize they are beaten.

ing to be political. Republican leaders,
as a matter of fact, have believed the
real purpose of the trip just ended is q
political one, a course of preparation for
the 1916 campaign. Now they say they
are more than ever convinced of it, They
aver the president can get his prepared
ness programme adopted quite as well by
staying at home.
Apropos of the political phrases of the
trip closing yesterday, there is no doubt
Democratic leaders have been strength
ened in their belief Wilson is going to be
hard to beat next fall.
President Wilson's tour was attacked
by Senator Works, Republican. before
the Senate military committee yesterday
while the senator was presenting his
plan to apportion western lands among
100000 men who would spend two

THE BABY'S WEIGHT.
Is Best Index a Mother Has of child's
Condition.

The baby's weight is perhaps the best
index the mother has of his condition
The average weights of babies of giver
ages are now pretty well established
and weight noticeably lower than the
average indicates a lack of development
due either to deficient diet, or to Illness
while an excess Of fat may point to inn
proper feeding. If the baby's weight
either remains stationary for any con-
siderable time, or begins TO fall off it
is always a sign that something is
wrong; and the mother should seek the
help of good doctor, without delay.
The average girl weighs seven pounds
at birth, while the boys average half a
pound heavier
During the first four days the baby
may lose from one or two ounces to a
pound, while waiting for the mothers
milk TO be established, but as soon as
he begins TO nurse regularly he should
quickly regain this loss During the
first month he should gain about three
quarters of an ounce each day; then up
to the sixth month, from four to eight
ounces week and from the sixth to
the twelfth month two to four ounces a
week
AT three months the average baby
weighs from twelve to fourteen pounds;
at six months, fifteen to sixteen pounds;
at nine months, seventeen to eighteen
pounds; and at one year, twenty to
twenty-five pounds The baby thus usu-
ally doubles his weight at five or six
and at the end of his first year
weighs three times as much as at birth.
Most babies do not gain quite steadily,
week by week. During short periods.
owing to excessive heat, when the food
is reduced, baby may show no gain,
and may even fall off a little. This
should be temporary and he
ought to begin to gain as soon as the
disturbance subsidies.
Bottle-fed babies do not gain as rap
dly the first months as do breast-fed
babies, but after the ninth month, they
are apt to gain more steadily because
hey do not lose weight as breast-fed
babies usually do at the time of wean-
ng
A very fat baby is not to be desired.
Although mothers are prone to believe
hat a fat baby is healthy one. this
S not necessarily true. An excessive
Iiet of certain of the proprietary infant
GODS, consisting largely of sugar or of
tarch, is very apt to produce Excess
i've fat, and give false impression of
bounding health, since bones and mus
les may thus be deprived of their prop
r nourishment. 0verfat babies are
ery uncomfortable in the summer from
richly heat and other ills.
A healthy baby has a well-rounded
ody, without wads and cushions of
at, or pendulous cheeks and pudgy legs.
Ie has springy muscles. and is alert,
ctive and full of life and motion.
In order that the mother may be in
ormed as to the babys progress, he
hould be weighed at regular intervals
throughout at least the first year. For.
he FIRST week or longer, he should be
eighed every day; during the first six I
