Tahiti

Two earthuuakes & day has been the average for the past few months Ii Tahiti newspaper dispatches state. This rocking island is described by IT W. Smith in a bulletin of the Na- tiona1 Geogra pflic Society as fol- lows'::
 Tahiti of the Society Islands. is one of the most important of the French possessions in the Pacific, with a steamship connection to San Francisco and New Zealand.
 .T,he Society Islands are of vol canic origin, rising from the low bed of tie ocean, which has depths near the islands of 1,590 to 1000 fathoms, while the highest peak, in the center of the island of Tahiti reaches an af- titude of 1900 feet, On a clear mcrn- ing the view as the ship approaches the harbor of PaPeete is most beau tiful, showing deep valleys pens+rat- ing from the coast to the mountain peaks of the interior.
 Near Papeete the beautiful Fatu- ua Valley may be visited in an after noon. or a good part of the way 8 carriage road leads up the valley, of fering changing vistas.
 '"Why, indeed, should the Tahitia1 toll? There are great leaves of the wild staro' growing by the roadside; the young leaves are delicious boiled, and the curious stranger will find rnlny other new delicacies of the table-the alligator pear. the baked pdpya, the Mantis crab, the raw fish, as good as the best oyster, served with Tahitian sauce, and on rare occasions, salad made from the heart of the :oaao- nut tree.

FACTS sHoUID Bg KNowy..

When the anthracite coal commission declines to receive the exhibits offered by the miners representatives concern ing the claims of profiteering by the coal operators on the ground that such would be going beyond it's jurisdiction it is to be realized that there are limits to which the commission can go in determining the case before them Though it had not been clearly stated, that is appar- ent1y the grounds on which the operators based their opposition to the submission of such material. In view of the fact that the commission was named to pass upon the justice of the miners demands it can be appreciated that there are linn it's beyond which # cannot go, and in deciding as it does it is on, good ground.
 But as was pointed out some days ago in view of the possibility of such a decision, if the miners have facts and figures whic hwill prove that the opera tors have been engaged in profteering and charging higher prices than were justified no time ought to be lost in get ting them before some other commission with authority to hear and pass upon them. When the claim is made that the operators have been charging unsustifed prices there is involved. directly the in- terest of the consumer Such over charging affects the consumer rather than the miner and if there has been profteering. or if it is still being in- duiged in the quicker it cari be shown and corrected the better The fact that the operators have been overeharging the public may not warrant the, miners in demanding higher wages on that ground alone, but it wf1I be the best ground in the world, once it is proved, for cutting the cost to the consumer.
 I1asmuch as the claim has been made that there has been pfofteering it ought not to stand that way Either it should be proved or disproved The public is directly concerned and certainly the op- orators cannot object to the presentation of the miners figures before a proper commission. The claims made by the miners for their exhibits are such as to call for the facts on the part Of the pub lie.

THE NEW rsNTv.

That the new party is having trou- ble in getting started is right in keep ing with what has been anticipated ever since there was put forth the idea of try .ing to unite so many organizations un. der one head. This mixture Of ideas was bound to create trouble sooner or later. That some of it has developed during the organization was natural and more of 1t is likely to follow for just as soon as those who want to have their own way regardless of the attitude of the major ity find that they are not in control it is bound to mean desertion.
 Likewise the combination that has been effected has already proved to be so radical as to make 1t impossible for cer- tain enthusiasts for a new party to fol- low The action taken before the adop. ton of 3 platform was completed was enough to cause scme of those guiding the 4sers tn get out from under. oth- CTS who had attempted to seek so- I1ace under the third party standard have been aiienated because of some of the blanks while the party principles are such that they cannot be endorsed by Robert NJ LaFoilette who has been look ed upon as the one to get the party $ nomination for president, and because of it's platform he refuses to have snything to do with it.
 Thus it is plainly demonstrated that the start even is far from being as en- couraging. as had been anticipated. The decision to unite the several disgruntled elements indicated that trouble was fore seen. but failure to secure harmony in the union indicates that more is to come. for the strength was none too great with all the various leaders doing their ut most, while the defections are certain to have detrimental effect through weak ened influence
 There was apparently a good chance of getting LaFollette as the leader of the ticket mad the platform been Kept with in bounds but how even he gould have expected that is beyond comprehension. More is being heard about the new party right now than Is probable at any time in the future

THE FIRST RacE

In contrast to previous contests there has not been much interest displayed in the international yacht race but with the Eailng of the first race and the epportu- lity to get better line on the respec- tive boats 1t is certain that it will be quickly keyed up to the usual high pitch. { The Resolute doesn't appear to have scaPed the trouble that has accompan- led it since it's trials began this spring. tnd-i was most unfortunate that it should 1 rave been forced to withdraw from the irst race because of broken rigging From such of the race as the two yachts participated in there was nothing but en- enlargement to be gained from the show .-ang made by the Resoute.

 To win under such conditions is any thing but satisfactory.

THE ALANn ISLANDS

A decision that is awaited with much Interest is that which concerns the dis. position of the Aland islands off the coast of Sweden. They lie in position which Quake them advantageous both to Swe- den and Finland. and while there are many of them which are useless there ars others which have a population of some thing less than 10000.
 -I That Sweden should be making stren. uous efforts to have them csded to that country seems quite natural They were formerly part of Sweden but way back in 1909 they were ceded to Russia witl, an agreement reached since then to the effect that they would not be fortified They are inhabited by those who are for the most part of Swedish descent and the islands sserve as a protection to the east coast of Sweden, or in the hands of another country, being but 25 miles of the city of Stockholm, they would 1e a decided menace should trouble arise n was when Russia took the Finnish territory that it took the Aland island for that reason Finland is claiming them today under the belief that they should be kept together.

FACTS REGARDING THE
 CARE OF THE BABY By U. s. Public Health Service.
GENERAL RuLBs FOR FEED
BOTTLE BABIES

BOTTLE BABIES.
 The average weight of baby at birth is pounds During the first week after birth there is usually no gain in weight, and there may be a slight loss. At the end of two weeks, the averags baby should weigh pounds and 'ounc- es, and should gain 8 ounces a week for the next two weeks so that when one month old he weighs s pounds and s ounc- es. For the first two months. a normal infant gains from to ounces a week. For the third month he gains from 4 to ounces week and thereafter from $ to f ounces weekly,
 The regular increase in weight, as determined by the weekly weighing, Is the indication that baby's food is not only agreeing with him and satisfying his hunger, but that it is also meeting his growth. requirements.
 General formula must of necessity be written for the average baby. and may not be entirely satisfactory for your baby If your baby does not gain properly and remain well, take it to your doctor who may make the neces- sary change. Take this paper along with you so the doctor may know what and how you have been feeding.
 A new born baby needs very little fooo for the first day or two. The first feed ngs should be made of one ounce of milk to two or three ounces of water and no sugar No food or substance other than cool boiled water should be given except by the direction of the physici- an.
 After the. first day a, weak baby may be fed at three hour intervals during the day with two feelings at night.
 At one week the average child re- quires 15 ounces of diluted milk daily To ounces of milk add 10 ounces of water and 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or milk.
 Dextrimaltose, 1-2 teaspoon, may be added to each feeding bottle instead of using sugar of milk as stated. This total quantity is given in seven feelings at three hour intervals during the day and two feelings at night
 At three months the child will require about g ounces of diluted milk daily. To Is ounces of milk add Is ounces of water and three level tablespoons of sugar of milk. Dextrimaltose may be used in the proportion 1 teaspoon to each feeding bottle instead of sugar of milk. This is<g given in six feelings at three. hour intervals during the day and one feeding at night about 10 D. m The ? a. m feeding is discontinued at the third or fourth month
 At six months the average baby will require S6 ounces of diluted milk To 24 ounces of milk add 12 ounces of wa- ter or barley water and 3 even table spoons of sugar of milk. This is given if five feelings during the day, the night feeding being discontinued.
 At nine months the average child re-

nuR PARTICIPATION.

= In connection with the plan of the al sfies to take possession of the Ruhr basin in case the Germans refused to provide two million tons of coal monthly until s.the mines they put out of business can
 be reestablished, it is difficult to under
 stand the report to the effect that the al lies intended to ask the United States to participate in this occupation.
 The United States of course has an ar
 my on the Rhine numbering something '- like 15, 1000 met but it is there simply un-
 der the terms of the armistice. The fact
 is that this country has not as yet made
 peace with Germany and it has not
 therefore any interest in the proposed occupation had such been forced by the
 refusal of the Germans
 sz- This country is not concerned with the 2 enforcement of the terms of the treaty, and it has not been represented in the , deliberations which have been carried on
 at Spa It is favorsbly disposed to-
 ward the terms that are set fsrth in the treaty and but for the provisions of
 the league of nations. wherein it is not believed that the interests of this coun-
 try are properly safeguarded. the treaty z would unquestionabIy have been ratified
 by this country long ago.
 In view, however, of our failure to act - upon the treaty there appears to be no
 reason for inviting this country to par dcipate in the occupation that had been decided upon which was the penalty set sforIh in the treaty. Had we ratified the
 document the situation would have been
 different. Then we would have been ex- "a pected to bear our share of the ob1iga- - lions Of enforcement. Under the circum- , stances that exist today We would be ur- s-a aertaking something we had no right to If We tried to force Germany to keep it's promises to the allies without being a party to the same agreement. and with --out also being party to the conference at which the final coal demands upon
 Germany were agreed upon.
