BABIES FOR UNCLE SAM
Absolute Cleanliness Says Chldens Bureau Head Is Best
Guarantee Against Disease
Daily Sleep in Open Air
Beneficial After First .
Month.
by JULIA LATHROP,
Chief, u. =. ChiIdren's bureau.

This chart shows a group of tall
black monuments to the babies who
die before they are year old. The
tallest of these monuments is for
the babies who die because their
mothers have not had the proper
care before and at the time of con-
finement. The second and third are
for the babies who die from dis
eases of the stomach and bowels
and from respiratory diseases
bronchitis and pneumonia.
These last two groups may be
called the diseases OF dirt and neg
lect. Unclean and insanitary sur
roundings. and impure or unsuitable
food, are the chief causes OF the
diseases of the stomach and bowels;
unVentilated houses, and improper
clothing, are largely responsible for
bronchitis and pneumonia.
Guarantee Against Disease.
Absolute cleanliness is the best
guarantee that a mother can give
her baby against disease. From the
very beginning he must have a
daily bath. His clothes must be
changed frequently and he must
never be allowed to lie in soiled or
wet garments that Chafe and chill.

Clean air is as important to the
child as clean clothing and clean
surroundings. Fresh air should be
kept circulating through his room.

If possible, move into another room;
a change from ones own bedroom
has a psychological effect. See that
the shades can be drawn down so as
to pretty thoroughly darken it. If

Following your massage, sleep an
hour, if possible. Then take a salt

What S in a Name?
INA
By Mildred Marshal!

One Of the most curious names
which has achieved widespread pop
uIariry today. is Ina. 1t is a name
without a history. without = coun-
try. withou, even past. A product
Of modern fancy. based on some IaIr
ladys whim-Jhis Is practically the
only explanation which can be
given for the lnas Of this etymo-
logical age.
1t Is thought by some that il;
bears sufficiently striking re-
semblanCr to the Spanish Ines TO be
considered an AnElicized derivative-
That theory would maxi Ina eQuiva-
lent to our Agnes and would give il
the significance Of pure" il might
also be derived from the Greek Inaz.
which has the same significance.
But il is difficult to thrust
past upon name which just is
and has charm Of its own. al that.
The most logical explanation Is that
Ina is Eratuitous invention that
the sound OF the name pleased some
ingenious young woman and she
arbitrarily uhrIstcned herself. or
having a name which she found
tIrcsOmc, she discarded II in favor
Of one OF its syllahles. Its vogue
proved the worth Of her invention.
But since. in the history of erymol-
ogy, all names must have an his
tOrical origin. Ina Is best regarded
as a deriNaI.yr Of our Agnes.
Giving her this significance the
pearl is Ina $ talismanic gem. 1t

many friends Monday is her lucky

Women Wait Turn
In Court Hearings
Since Vote Grant

Women first.
That used to be the rule in
naturalization hearings in the
District Supreme Court, no mat
ter how far down on the Judges
list their names stood, women
were always allowed TO take the
oath of allegiance ahead of the
men.
But now things are changed,
Since Secretary Colby announced
the ratification of the suffrage
amendment all prospective yot-
ers look alike. Justice Gould
who presided yesterday, did not
issue any special orders that
the rule of women first" he
abolished, but from his silent
approval of the action Of the De-
partment of Labor in calling the
names of the women as they
appeared on the list led every
body to believe that His Honor
was of the opinion that skirts
no longer make a difference.

Course of Sugar
 Price Appears to
 be Doubtful Again

New York, Aug. 31.-Whether the price of sugar after it's quick decline of last week has reached bottom or is due for further drops was the sub ject of conjecture here today among dealers, some of whom are said to stand to lose heavily in case add- tional breaks occur. ....
 The concensus of conservative opinion among traders was that many heavy losses were not to be expected. All agreed that profits would be materially curtailed and in some cases would have to be fore- gone completely to avoid more se- riously consequences should lessened demand force the market still lower.
 "The bottom fell out of the mar ket," one large dealer said today, "shortly after the demand for do- nestle consumption and export failed ca absorb huge quantities of sugar which poured in from nearly every country, including China, Japan and central European points such as the Balkans and Czecho-Slovakia.
 From a high of over twenty five cents for refined sugar, the price gravitated rapidly to IT, with ire quent offerings at 15 cents from spectators who feared the end of the decline had not been reached.
 Today one refinery yielded to con- tinued pressure, cutting to 16 cents for fine granulated, or a cent under other refineries and about eight cents below highest prices of the summer.
 The best bid for Cuban raw sugar was cents cost and freight. The early summer high for the same com modity was B cents.
 Most sugar dealers secuted the idea that failure on the large scale would results from the break.
 A general upsetting of the trade with: a return to, profit scales of two. years ago would be the most noticeable consequence, it was pre- dicted.
