Wby Baby
Doesn't
:: WalR =:

Many parents believe that the rea-
son a baby does not walk sooner Is
because his legs are not yet strong
enough. The truth of the matter is
that the bones and muscles in a baby's
limbs are often developed sufficiently
to permit walking long before he takes
his first step. The reason he does not
walk as soon as he has the necessary
physical strength is because there is
no thinking brain to tell his muscles
what to do.
At birth a baby's brain is far from
being in as complete working order as
the rest Of his body. From a year to
eighteen months. and in some cases an
even longer time. must elapse before
his brain is capable of directing con-
scious, voluntary movements. such as
walking.
Yawning when bored, moving the
foot when tickled. coughing. sneezing,
laughing, crying. squirming and other
things a baby does are what are
known as reflex actions. They are the
responses to some imperc eptible irrita-
ton Of nerves ending in the spinal cord
and are no Indication of intelligence
or a lack of it.
Walking and other voluntary move
ments can be accomplished only when
a path Of communication is established
between the spinal cord where the re-
fex actions are controlled and the up
per or thinking part of the brain. This
path is known as the pyramid path"
1t extends from the medulla oblon-
gaia at the top of the spinal cord to
the cerebrum way up inside the skull
When a baby is born this important
little pathway is not yet open for traf-
fic. The little nerve libers which COM
pose 1t are all in place, but they are
unable to transmit any messages be-
tween the upper and lower, parts of
the brain because they have not yet
developed their nerve sheaths. The
latter bear the same relation to the
nerve fibers as inSuators do to electric
wires.
Not until the beginning of a child's
fifth year is the line of communication
with his thinking brain in full opera
ton. Before that time it is not only
foolish, but cruel To expect of a child
anything involving will power.

Jumpers, stomach bumpers (often less
elegant terms are used, are all laws
unto themselves, and their riders, who,
in various attitudes, go singly or per
haps with a passenger, hckity split
down the icy grades, frequently find
them uncertain steeds at the turns.
Even the biggest bobsleds, when built
too high and with inefficient steering
apparatus. are unequal to the curves
and may prove unsteady craft at all
times where the passengers are cratic
or the course is uneven.
AS with the safest and best racing
automobiles and pushmobiles, the most
successful bobsled or double runner is
built low and not too narrow. By the
dimensions given below it will be
seen that the height Of the runner and
the thickness of bolster and board
make up the distance from the surface
OF the snow to the seat, and this
should not be greater than ten and a
half or eleven inches. The board may
be any length desired up to twelve
feet, this carrying an average Of seven
passengers sitting very close and al

legs. An eight foot board is better and
four or five passengers a safer and
saner limit.
A bobsled may be constructed
throughout, runners and all, or it may
be successfully built upon two bought
sleds, if they are very strongly made
and braced, the material being oak.
ash or elm.
The method Of uniting these two
sleds is not difficult. The board should
be of the best material, ash, oak or
elm, though hard yellow pine may
serve. 1t should be mill planed from

longer than eight feet. The width is
eleven or twelve inches. Make ton
