]. @. P. Stokes
And Wife Quit
Socialist Party
Resign Because Radicals
Denounced u. S. Entry
Into War

]. G. Phelps Stokes and his wife,
Rose Pastor Stokes, announced yester-
day their resignation from the Socialist
party in a statement which said they
had "lost faith in the party as an effec-
tive instrument for advancing the So
cialist cause" Approval in a refer
endum conducted by the party of re-
port disapproving the action of the
United States in entering the war is
given as the cause of the designations.
"The essence of socialism is democ-
racy," the statement said. "The world
is at present rent with the greatest of
all struggles between the opposing
principles of democracy and autocracy,
and the future of the democratic cause
everywhere depends upon the issue.
an this moment of crisis, when the
faith TO which we are committed is in
its crucial hour, the Socialist party of
the United States has recorded itself,
to all practical intents, as unconcerned
as to whether autocracy or democracy
triumph.
Socialists Interfere With Nation
"The Socialist party has now with
violent and abusive language threat
ened to use all means within Its
power to interfere with our nations
course in entering the war on the side
of democracy. By its policy in this
great crisis it has, in our opinion, for
feited its right to the support of those
who deem democracy essential to the
highest interests of mankind.
"Not only has it failed egregiously
in the present crisis, but during the
last few years it has departed increas-
lngly from democratic methods within
its own organization, until In certain
of its recent procedures it has been
more arbitrary and undemocratic than
any other political organization in the
/ United States.
Russell's Expulsion Cited
"Witness. for example, the party's
recent expulsion of Charles Edward
Pussell, without hearing and without
affording him opportunity to be either
present at his trial or represented at il
by authorized counsel, and without even
communicating 70 him the fact that the
charges of violating party discipline, or
which he was tried, were pending
against him.
'No capitalist court was ever more
high-handed than was the party or.
ganization which expelled Russell with.
ouraccording him even the decencies
Of ordinary democratic procedure II
was vindictive act. without justifica.
ton, and in fragrant violation not
merely of the usual standards of fair.
ness in such matters, but even of the
psrtys own bylaws, which in New York
City, where the trial was held, provide
that at least the grievance committee
shall send copy Of the charges to me
accused before action is taken against
him"
The resignation was addressed to the
Socialist party local at Stamford
Conn, where Mr.. and Mrs. Stokes have
their summer home.

Women who have no objection 70
chasing errant potatoes around pier
or picking up cabbages in the presence
of their gentlemen friends" are lnvlt-
ed to help the Mayors Committee out
of an embarrassing position. There was
a strike yesterday morning among the
women recruits from the Salvation
Army. upon whom the committee was
depending to round up the surplus
vegetables which the committee was
planning to preserve in the munich
nal kitchen, under the Williamsburg
Bridge.
The Salvation Army women arrived
at the pier bright and early yesterday
pleased at the prospect of earning ~
cents an hour and conserving the food
supply at the same time. But they
hadn't expected to see their masculine
admirers perched upon the very trucks
beneath whose wheels they were igno-
miniously TO scratch for potatoes.
Mary Calls Strike
One look was enough.
"Sure, It's Johnny Mccarthy him
self. I'll not be grubbing under his
wheels for him." muttered Mary, the
leader of the little band, and, stand
ing there in the midst of seventy crates
of cabbages which were shrieking for
some economical housewife to come and
can, with her arms akimbo and her par
ing knife swinging from her belt, Mary
called the strike.
A hurry call brought the ever ac-
commodating Boy Scouts to the rescue.
Nothing suited them better than dodg-
ing Johnny McCarthy's horses hoofs
and pursuing the skidding cabbages.

EASY LESSONS IN
BABY RAISING
MENTAL DEVELOPMENT UP TO TWO YEARS

though that little over development,
mentally won't injure him"
What do you mean by that?"
Il mean that strong child may
be two years old physically and three
years old mentally without injury to
his health, but If weakly child is
too far ahead of the average mentally
he may easily injure his physical con-
dition permanently and possibly his
brain also. Most authorities say to
keep the child in as fine a physical
condition as possible and let the mind
develop naturally by contact with it's
surroundings. Forcing is as bad for
baby's mind as for a plant. 1t
makes abnormal growth for a time
and then withers."
How do they take a mental test
of baby?"
You know baby up to one year
has very little mental development
that can be tested but after one year
they use something similar to the
Rinet- Simon test, which is a system
worked out by scientists to determine
the mental capacity of older children
and adults.
Here is the test on a Eugenic score
card which gives the mental tests
from six months to twenty-four:

Il am going to enter Billy Boy in
the Baby Health Contest at the fair
this fall" announced Helen at the
breakfast table. "He is certainly in
good shape physically and I believe
about as we'll developed mentally as
the average child"
No use any one entering a boy,
with hope of winning first prize, is
there" joked the father.
! You need not jolly me about this
for / am absolutely sure Billy Boy
is high score baby as far as physi-
cal perfection goes for l haveyweighed
and measured and tested his accord
| ing to the score card ever since he
was born. OF course he has father S
| head which is an inch too big in cir
conference, but We hope his other
projections will overbalance that, at
least it won't take much off of his
score anyway. The mental test is a
different thing and l fear my par
TALLY may bias my judgment so |
/ want some one who knows how and
is unprejudiced to test my baby's
mentality"
Il would hate to be the Judge that
told some woman her baby was lack
ing anywhere" said John, "but l too,
will be interested to know just how
the boy scores in every particular"
Yes, l hope the baby Judge will
| look him over from head to feet very
carefully and hunt for imperfections
for there might be something seri-
Gus hidden underneath the fat and
muscles that | don't see. Why, there
was fine looking baby at one state
fair out west that had a slight spinal
curvature that no one suspected until
the baby judge found it in her care
full examination"
But what will you do if Billy Boy
is below normal mentally" continued
John still joking.
Il will feel disappointed of course
| but not as bad as you imagine for
have learned that some children are
slower than others in developing men,
tally just as some are slower develop
ing physically, but that with the
right sort of care they catch up and
make Just as sma"t NOR and women

!hat the slow plodding type Of chjld
often made the finest people because
they did not waste any vitality.
You would hardly call Billy Boy a

mentally"
"Of course you do. All fathers ex-
| pect the same thing. But | don't
want him to score too high or too low

then we won't need to worry about

ing. In order to expand on freezing,
these materials must contain or be
mixed with water, and the more water
they contain the greater the expan-
sion which takes place. But so long
as the road remains frozen, the dam
age does not become apparent. Hence
the frequent and idea that it
Is the thaw which Injuries the road.
The injury was done when the water
in the road frOze and the particles Of
the road surface-broken stone, sand,
still fine particles Of earth or clay
were pushed apart by the expanding
power Of the freezing water. The
thaw merely allows the ice to melt and
assume its original volume as water.
The remedy is self-evident. Keep
the water out of the road. The time
to begin preventive measures is before
the rains begin. If the road goes into

the chances are extremely favorable
that it will come out all right the fol-

A silly little story came out of st.

of the joker who cannot keep ahead Of

than formerly? How many genuine
yellow-haired girls have you seen in
