NEW 3-YEAR PROGRAM
IN NAVY BUILDING URGED
Secretary Daniels Approves Boards
Suggestion Gin case o. s: Does
Not Enter Natiens' League.

Reiterating its opinion that the United
States Navy should be equal to that Of
any other nation in the world. the gen.
erai board Of, the Navy in its latest
annual report recommends a new three
year program for the construction Of
lightweight modern warships. Secre-
tary Daniels has, approved the recon-.
mendations in case the United States
does not enter the league of nations.
NO other nation can in reason take
exception to such a position" the board
said. "In assuming II the United States
threatens no other nation by the mere
act Of placing itself on an equality with
the strongest 1t is an act of self-de-
tense which all will acknowledge as an
inherent right and cannot Justly be con-
strued as challenge. On the contrary,
the pursuance of such a policy OF equal
naval ornaments may well tend to di-
work to lessen the danger Of sudden
war.
"a nation with far-reaching and some
times conflicting international interests
must always be prepared 10 defend its
rights. Navies are peculiar in that II
neglected they lose efficiency with
startling rapidity. 1t Is faIlacious to
argue that We can wait a few years and
then with our money and our construc-
tive genius raise ours quickly to a
power commensurate with our national
needs. 1t cannot be done. Navies are
not built in day; it is matter of
years, even of generations"

BABY's FIRST MONTH
Part two

Part two
The first bath is not given with soaI
and water as subsequent ones are il
is given with warm olive oil or vase
line This is applied over the whole
body and then carefully removed with
soft cloth. Particular attention
should be given to the creases Of the
body. Needless TO say this bath
should be given in warm place.
| 1t might be well at this point to call
attention to the fact that the baby's
head must be supported at all times
Never pick him up without being sure
that this precautiOn is observed. It
will be some months before the mus
cles of the neck will be strong enough
to hold up the head unassisted After
the first bath in oil the baby is bath
ed daily with warm water and soap.
Do not use a tub for this purpose un-
til after the tenth day. A sponge bath
is all that is necessary.
The room temperature should not
be under 6S' or IS F. The bath water
should be between so and So F. Give
the bath close to the source Of heat in
the room. /. e. the stove, radiator fire.
place, etc. A soft cloth is used and
some pure soap, such as CASTLE A
special cloth, preferably a piece of
cheese cloth should be used for the
head and face. After bathing. dry the
baby very carefully in a large soft
towel, being sure that you dry the
creases of the skin particularly we'll
Now dust the skin lightly with some
good tale or borated powder and
dress.
When bathing the baby in a tub af-
ter the tenth day, a good method Of
holding the baby is as follows, Place
the left arm behind the baby with
the left hand under his left armpit
and his head supported by your arm.
In this way you can hold him securely
and at the same time have your right
hand free for washing.
The temperature of the water
should be the same as for the sponge
bath mentioned above.
II will probably be found that the
most convenient hour for the bath will
De in the morning just before feeding
ime. In this way the baby can be
lressed and fed Immediately after his
)ath, whereupOn he will go to sleep
lean, satisfied and happy.
In the summer it is a good plan to
'lve the baby a sponge bath in the
-iternoon as well as his tub in the
morning.
Until the cord drops off. which is
sually about the tenth day, particu-
ar attention must be observed in its
ressing. II must be kept clean and
oyered with sterile powder. and a
terile dressing Infections OF the
ord are often very serious. If any
ischarge is noticed from it, see a doc
or about it at once, and do not let
go on hoping that it will be all
light in a few days.
A demonstration of correct bathing
the baby will gladly be given by a
urse trained in such matters, if you
Ill visit the Child Health Center in
our district and request it.
