OSCAR setback saw

Undersea Craft.

Oscar Setback son of the we'll
known West End merchant who az
rived in France several weeks ago,
has written several letters homo
about his trip over the ocean. -Four
submarines were sighted by the
transport on which young Setback
made the voyage, but they were too
slow to be dangerous.
When the first U-boat was discov,
cred, Young Setback writes, there was
quite a commotion on board the
American transport, but the speedy
vessel soon outdistanced the subma-
rine. Three others were seen, but
none of them got close enough to be
dangerous.
Oscar writes that ne did not suffer
from sea sickness on the trip, and
that the soldiers were given the same
drill work on the ship that they had
received while in camp on land. He
is well pleased with army life and IS
enjoying the beautiful scenery IN
France. He has not been Informed
when the Americans now arriving
over there will enter the trenches.

UNCLE SANS TEST
FOR CAPE BABIES
Parents Told Whether Infants
Are Normal. Plan Nation.
Wide

My baby is two years old exactly.
He is just as tall as the government
table says ne ought to be-33 Sd
inches. He doesn't weigh but "a
pounds, though, and the table says
he ought to be 3 pounds and 2 ounces
heavier. What can l do about it?
This is the sort of questions which
mothers are asking of the busy wom-
en- who are weighing and measuring
the children of Cape Girardeau as a
part of the nationwide test of the
welfare Of American children. The
success of the test as an aid in say
ing the lives of 100000 children under
five during Children's Year will be
determined by the way mothers re-
spond to the challenge in this ques-
tion-My child is underweight; what
can / do about it?
If a young child's weight is as
much as 2 pounds below the average
for his height this should be warn
ing to his parents that the child's nu-
TRITON is not normal according tc
the Children's Bureau of the L. S.
Department of Labor. If the weight
fails markedly below the average the
Chidren's Bureau suggests taat the
child be examined by physician to
see whether some fault in hygiene OF
diet or some defect or sickness i.
causing the malnutrition.
In one large city where more than
$1,000 children were weighed anC
measured it has been possible to d.
rect the mother to the nearest place
where she could obtain the sort OF
information she needed as to how to
care for her child and to bring his
weight up to the average for his
height.
At the suggestion Of the Children's
Bureau the committee is urging par
EMS to take children found to be I'M
derwcight to their family physician
to infant welfare stations, or to chill.
dren's clinics for a thorough exami-
nation, and, if necessary, for treat
ment.
In this way the mother will re
ceive advice as TO what she can do tt
improve her child's health. And nc
enc has so good an opportunity as
the mother has to bring a child VI

memory as result of the exposure
and was unable to recall his past.
An effort made last night by The
Tribune to get into communication
with Clyde Rasch at Mount Vernon
failed. According to the information
received from other sources in Mount
Vernon Rasch is iaborer
Wiseman disappeared May 80, last
year, when the boat in which he and
Reuben Hoke, another veteran fisher
man and third man were returning
from an island north of the city,
where they had been fishing was over
turned near a government fleet an
chored on TIE east side Of the river.
Their skiff was overturned by the
high waves. The other two saved
their lives, but Wiseman disappeared
under one of the dredge boats in the
fleet and was not seen since. The
other two men were unable to reach
the city till the morning after the
storm.
Whether he really lost his life
when the skiff overturned, or whether
he was washed back on land and
wandered about until he was found,
is problematic since the mysterious
letter has been received from Mount
Vernon. Mrs. Wiseman said she
would make every effort to determine
whether the message was Joke or
whether her husband was still living.

v. A. HOUSE HEAD OF
MERCANTILE BUREAU
Chamber Of Commerce Starts on
Season Of Much Activity

The new electorate of the Mercantile
Bureau of the chamber of commerce
met yesterday afternoon in the cham
Der rooms. William A House was
unanimously elected chairman of the
bureau for the coming year. A. A.
Mills was chosen vice chairman and
it was voted that l.. A. Sprague should
act as secretary of the meetings.
The committee on Christmas post
ers, through it's chairman, George w.
Dyson, reported that unique poster
in red and white with the wording
Uncle Sam asks you to shop early"
and signed by the chamber of COM
merce, had been printed and will be
distributed without charge to all mer-
chants who are mem berS of the cham
Der. The idea Of a universally used
poster was that the buying public
constantly met with the words shop
early and would respond this year
so that the Christmas rush would be
avoided, The committee on posters
will have charge of the distribution
The matter of participation in the
Dec. celebration was discussed and
it was the desire of the directors that
the mercantile interests of the city
should cooperate and if a place in
the parade was assigned to the mer-
chants that all stores should unite
and make the section one of the best
D. Mcmillan was appointed to rep
resent the chamber at the meeting
at the mayors office tonight. Fur
Their instructions will be issued after
the meeting.
Chairman w A. House brought up
for discussion the idea of the mer-
chants of the city supplying a Christ
mas tree for the day nursery and it
was unanimously voted that this be
done. A committee Of five was ap-
pointed to carry out the plan. Con-
tributions may be sent to the cham
Der and it is hoped that the merchants
will show their interest in the move
ment and supply each of the 35 chill
dren with game book ~or toy for
Christmas.
The question of closing WedneS-
day night, Thanksgiving eve was dis
cussed and it was the will Of the meet
ing that the uniform hours as adopted
should be held to as agreed upon for
1918, that is, to close at $50 p. M.
on evenings preceding holidays except
ing Christmas. The uniform hours
question for 1919 was discussed and
the chairman was asked to appoint q
committee Of five to draw UP new
hours for the coming year. This COM
mittee will report at the December
meeting.
At a recent meeting Of the cham
Der of commerce a committee was
appointed by w. A. House to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of revising the Credit
Rating Book. Jonathan Hartford met
with the committee this afternoon at
2 o'clock.
