LONG BEACH TO HAVE
CARNIVAL ON MAR. 81

! When Long Beach starts out to dt
things, something worth while hap
PENS. Just now the town is simmer.
ing and bubbling with expectancy ane
everyone who is able to sit up anc
take notice is looking forward to the
great event of the year-the Carniva
cf States, which is scheduled to take
place on Saturday (all day., March
81.
The Carnival of the States has be-
come permanent institution in Long
Beach and it occurs once a year. The
committee in charge are exerting
every effort to outdo every carnival
that has ever happened in Southern
alifornia, and it looks as if they
would succeed.
Just as the Carnival of Roses is
identified with Pasadena, so the Car
Rival of States is identified with Long
Beach and judging by the wide in
terest shown in the event, the Car
nlval of States seems destined to be-
come as popular as the Pasadena Car
nival and then some-because of the
ecod-natured rivalry which is con-
stantly growing between Southern
California Representatives of the yari-
GUS states entering floats in the grand
pageant.
Elaborate preparations have been
plade by all the state committees to
eclipse everything that has ever been
made in the way of floats. Each
float will be emblematic in design and
represent typical industries and pro-
ducts. Prizes will be given for first,
second and third best floats in the
state division. There will be civic
and fraternal entries, too, also COM
peting for prizes.
y But the grand pageant is not all
that has been planned. In The after
noon there is to be big interschol-
sstic track and field meet at the Poly
High School grounds. This alone is
worth trip to the Beach City to see.
Famous athletes from far and near
will participate and new worlds rec
ords are expected.
Then there will be special attrac-
tions and music by the municipal band
and visiting bands from other cities.
And big doings on the "Pike"-fun,
and lots of it-for, remember, this is
an all day and far into the night car
nival and Long Beach invites you and
sll your friends to join in the festiv-
tiles. Go early and stay late. That's
the way to enjoy carnival, and March
S! in the date.

Is Your Baby Up to Normal.
BY Mrs. Max West
Of the Federal Children's Bureau

| oy &Ai Ss ~sAoA vvSoS
OF the Federal Children's Bureau
Written for the United Press
Mothers always like to know wheth-
er their children compare favorably
with others in their development, and
to have some standards by which to
measure growth. Some of these rules
are simple and are easily remembered.
The average weight of girl babies
at birth is pounds; that of boys Z
to 7h. Healthy babies usually double
their weight by the sixth month and
treble it by the end of the first year.
Therefore if the baby weighs 81 pounds
a. one year of age it is up to nor
nal.
The first tooth is usually cut from
the sixth to the eighth month. The
full set of 20 milk teeth should be
in place when the baby is years
OLD. The "sixth year molar," as it is
called, is the first of the permanent
teeth to appear, but, as it does not
replace one of the first teeth, moth
ers allow it to decay because they
believe it to be temporary tooth.
The baby begins to laugh aloud
lfiom the third to the fifth month, and
speaks few words by the end of
the first year. He usually frames
short sentences by the time he is 2
years old.
Baby should sit up unsupported a
little willie by the seventh or eighth
month, tand at 10 or II months and
walk alone by the fifteenth or six
lteenth. The soft spot on the top Of
the head should be entirely closed by
the end of the second year.

NUMBERS
IN THE CHAUTAUQUA

! "HOwS the ChautauQua coming.
was the question reporter on The
Imperial Valley Press put to one who
Is taking prominent part in the
Chautaqua for this city.
"Fine, just fine" he answered. "You
know this is to be patriotic year on
the Horner Chautauqua and the dis
rlay of American flags and the CON-
munity singing of patriotic songs are
to be prominent features. From what
information / have received, the pro-
gram is to be better balanced, more
brilliant, bigger and better than even
the programs of the past.
think of a Chautaqua program
presenting 'Pinafore,' with 40 New
York folks in the cast" he contin-
ued. think Of the refreshing story
OF Little Women being presented on
the Chautaqua platform with the same
folks who gave it in New York. Those
two plays ought to be worth the price
of the season ticket, had they not?
Folks in the big cities have been pay
ing the price Of Chautaqua season
ticket to see only one of those at
fractions. We got both, and twelve
other big programs in addition. Those
two productions, the musical attrac-
tions, lectures and entertainments
form a program which will attract
the largest crowd the Chautauqua
ever brought to this city,"
Among the musical attractions this
season will be the Metropolitan Men
Singers, quartet of merry, musical
men, marvelously equipped to please
the most critical audience with the
best in music. The Althea Players
are six charming, cheerful, cultured
girls, who give an afternoons program
and a prelude in the evening. Then
there are Ellis Hawaiians, in their
program of unique and unusual mu-
sic, which so many people strongly ad-
nlire. Harrison Keller is one of the
worlds best violinists. Stewart Willie
is a pianist of fame and a musician
who has studied with the masters.
Peggy" Hill will furnish one of the
most delightful programs Of the week.
The Chautaqua will be joy week for
the music lovers.
Ducrot, the magician, will amuse
and astound you with his dexterity
end amazing skill. Give this man
a toothpick and a napkin and he will
Iut on complete show and probably
transform the napkin into roses and
the too.hpick into flock of pigeons.
Miss Jane Dillon, as an interpreter of
the worlds masterpieces in literature,
will make the gems of the library more
sparkling than ever before and trans
late the words into living messages
Ct truth and poetry. Ada Roach! It's
time to smile! She is the original
Funny Girl" You will laugh. and
laugh and laugh, for this bundle of
sunshine will put laugh into the
city's most confirmed. pessimist and
chase the shadows from the face of
the sourest of the sour.
In the lectures a rare treat and a
feast of oratory await the Chautau-
cua patron, including William ]. Bry-
an. Thomas Brooks Fletcher has a
particular message for the young man,
for the farmer, the laboring man and
the business man. There is also Lou
the humorous philosopher;
William Rainey Bennett, "The Man
Who Can," and another lecturer of
national reputation who will be an
nounced later.
"It's time to become enthused over
the Chautaqua," commented our in
formant, as he closed the interview.
