BABIES 'TAKEPART. IN FUTURE STATE
 FAIRS IN THE U. 5.

Babies will rival blue-ribbon cattle and poultry as the center of attrac- tion at state and county fairs this fall. According to reports received by the Childrens Bureau of the U. S. De- | partment of Labor, children and the l things that concern children are to be given unusual prominence among the exhibits as a result of the Children's Year campaign for better babies. Not only that but the rather haphazard 'baby shows" of other days will be superseded at many fairs by contests | that are to be virtually well baby clinics" conducted in full accordance with scientific principles. The utmost care will be taken to guard the child ren from the danger of infection and the babies will be judged by experts. 1 One of the fairs where the new type i of baby show will be held is the Illi- nois Centennial State Fair, where a baby contest will be conducted under the supervision of the State Director of Public Health. Entries for this contest are said to have reached an unprecedented figure as a result of the i little contestants will be examined by child specialists, by dentists, and by eye, ear, nose and throat specialists. A consulting service under a physician experienced in children's cases will be at the command of the parents of children entered in the contest. Dem onstrations of proper clothing and food for children and lectures on child care will be given daily for the ben eft of mothers attending the fair, and among the exhibits will be mod el baby welfare station of the kind adapted to the needs of a small com munity.
 The weighing and measuring of 1 children is to be a feature of the i Michigan State Fair, where, as a war measure, the better babies depart ment is to be given unusual promin- ence this year. In connection with the test there will be demonstrations of the proper feeding of children with the need for economy and for food conservation kept always in mind.
 The newly organized child welfare department of the Minnesota State Board of Health is to conduct a child welfare exhibit at the Faribault, Minn., fair, and an exhibit of charts illustrating the care and feeding of children will have a prominent place at the East Texas fair. Pamphlets on child care will be distributed in connection with the baby contest at the Kansas State Fair; and the Ken lucky State Fair Is planning a baby pageant.
 In connection with. many county fairs there is to be a "patriotic play day. to show the value of recreation in building up a young America that Is strong and happy in spite of the dis turbing influences of war time. Tests of physical efficiency, drills, games and children's "songs" together with exhibits of things made and raised by children will go to make up the days program.

Great interest was manifested last week in the canning of chicken. Very many of the women attending the demonstration had Stacker" hens, that the government is advising them to kill off. because of the excessive amount of food which they consume. Amusement was expressed at the sim plicity of the canning process involv- ed in preserving this meat from one season to another.
 The jam making is progressing in a splendid manner. The younger folks are finding this an excellent means of giving expression to their patriotic fervor. At the second meet ing of the Junior Food Army last week the members. after their busi- ness meeting at which they elected Earl Sullivan, 99 Atlantic street, for president, made a bushel of tomatoes and half as much rhubarb into pre- serves which will later go to the AL lied hospitals. The young people took great pleasure in doing this to help the soldiers overseas. Harry Lawrence, Lillian Christensen and

makes it an unusual and appropriate street costume. This panel is fasten- ed to the back at the neck with black bone buttons.
 In order to give balance to the dress, two sashes are introduced in front. They are of blue tricotine lined with black satin, and are fin ished with black silk cord and fringe. They are of equal length, and give height and dignity to the figure.
 The sleeves are in two parts. The proper part, cut kimono fashion, with the blouse, is of black satin and extends to the elbow. The lower part is of the navy blue tricotine to match cape and shashes. The upper sleeve is elapsed with black bone buttons matching those that are fastened to the panel in back of the collar.
 To contrast with the sober blue and black of the costume belt of gray and black patent leather clasps the loose waist in front. This cuts into the otherwise loose lines of the costume and gives it rather smart and dashing touch.

LOST CONTROL OF AUTO,

An automobile carrying five per sons and driven by Charles Whittlesy, was prevented from plunging down the embankment at the new Strat- ford avenue bridge yesterday after noon by the guard railing which was wrecked, becoming entangled in the rear wheels.
 While the car practically stood on end the passengers gingerly climbed out congratulating one another upon their narrow escape. The machine was then hauled back to the street. The hood and front wheels were somewhat damaged, but the car was able to proceed upon it's way with it's load of passengers.

BEEF NEEDED FOR
FIGHTING FORCES
New Regulations Concerning Meae
Consumption Are Announced BY tho
Food Administrations urged
to Substitute Pork ard Save Beef
for Army and Allies.

Columlia-"Househ are nos
under any circumstances to buy more
than one and one-quarter pounds OF
clear beef weekly (or one and one-haR
pounds including the bone) per per-
son in the household" says Herbert
Hoover, federal food administrator in
a telegram to William Elliott, food
administrator for South Carolina, an
nouncing new regulations concerning
the consumption Of meats.
THE demands for beef for our army
and the allied armies and their civil
population for this summer are beyond
our present surplus" Mr.. Hoover's
telegram continues. "Cn the other
hand, we have enough increased sup
ply OF pork this summer to permit eco
nomical expansion IL its use. It will,
therefore, be direct service to our
armies and the allies If our people
would, in some degree, substitute
fresh pork, bacon, ham and sausage
for beef products"
The Food Administration, in view OF
the demands for beef for the army and
the allies, has now reached the point
where it must request all hotels and
restaurants not to place on their bills
Of fare or serve boiled beef for more
than two meals per wesk, and beef
steak for not more than two meals
per week. Roast beef is also tainted

ColumbiaL-A special appeal to the
women Of the country is made by Off
cial Washington, through the Food
Administration, and emphasis is laid
upon the fact that women have never
before been called upon to bear 80
great a burden as the coming months
will impose Loon their courage and
their constancy.
Woman's part in all war activities
Is primarily food production and food
conservation.
The women Of America must see
to it," says the authoritative state
ment, that the nations producing
powor is not enfeebled by the draft
made upon it to strengthen the fight
ing power.
They must produce fod by work
ing gardens, by raising chickens, by
doing farm service where they can or
by helping and encouraging those who
DO 1t. They must aid in the kitchen,
conserving food by wise economies,
canning, drying,< preserving, pickling
and preparing fod in accordance with
the Food Administrations program.
They must purchase where they see
the Food Administrations emblem.
watch their local dealers, buy local
produce in preference to shipped
goods and resist the temptation to
hoard.
"America is today rationing the
world. Without our food supplies the
Allies could not fight for US. They
are suffering privations. The food that
we save for them is not a saving Of
1t is saving of life. 1t is
worth more than its weight In gol."
