What are the newly-born baby's i'm
presions of this old word when he
first comes into his full conscious
ness? An interesting answer to this
question can be found in a book en-
titled "The Dawn of Mind" by Mar
garet Drummond, M. A, lecturer on
psychology in Edinburg Provincial
Training College.
This authors observations, which
are based on series of careful rec
ords of the mental development of
individual children from earliest in
fancy, among whom was her own lit
tie niece, clearly indicate to what eX-
tent an infant at birth is in control
of it's five senses and how the mite of
helpless humanity is impressed by
what goes on around it during the
first few days of it's life.
"Only by a strong effort" observes
this writer, "can we conceive the
consciousness of the newly-born babe.
We may compare it with Pickering
dawn, when we find it hard to say at
what moment the first faint modifi-
cation of darkness made itself per
ceived. Everything in it is dim,
shifty, tentative. In 1t are no sounds.
no color, none of the clear expert
ences that stand out so strongly in
the adult mind. AS the world in the
beginning was without form, and void,
so is the nebulous consciousness of the
babe
Certain organic sensations, chiefly
hunger, thirst and, upon occasion,
internal pain, are fairly distinct.
Sensations of position and of equil-
;brium, are also experienced. Move
ments of the eyes, lips, tongue ana
neck are felt, but probably not those
of the trunk and limbs.
For the first few days the baby
sleeps most of the time, but it is
probably that when his eyes are open
he has dim sensation of sight. Mid
light seems to be pleasant from the
first, strong light unpleasant. Light
and darkness are different expert
ences. Colors are not distinguished,
nor are the forms of objects. Learn
ing to see is a long process.
"All children are deaf for a few
hours even days after birth. 1t is
quite possible that deafness, that is.
the absence of sound sensations, may
continue for the first two or three
weeks. The child. may react to
sudden and startling noise, but he
probably experiences it as a jar, rath
er than sound
even in the adult, touch and tenn
perature, taste and smell, all con-
tribute their quota to cur complex
taste experience. 1t is, therefore,
difficult to be sure that any response
obtained, such as change of facial
expression, indicates taste sensation.
If we judge from the baby's behavior.

Army Genius to
Remain in Service

1t isn't often that an army officer
is placed upon the retired list and
then Immediately detailed back to ac-
tive service, because of the importance
of the work he is engaged in. Major
Arthur M. Ferguson, secretary of the
general service schools at Fort Leav-
enworth, went on the retired list this
week, but was ordered to remain on
active duty at the schools. This means
that Major Ferguson will be secretary
of the schools, in the Jpbuilding of
which he has played a big role, until
he voluntarily asks to be relieved of
the post.
Major Ferguson's retirement comes
as a result of wounds received in the
Philippine insurrection, where he won
the Congressional medal of honor as
a member of Fred Funston's famous
goth Kansas infantry. He is still
comparatively young in years and his
army record is one of efficient service
Major Ferguson first came to the
schools several years ago as secre-
tary. He had some very definite ideas
as to what was NEEDED to further the
training and education Of the COM
missioned personnel of the army. The
service schools were regarded by
officers as place where theorists
held out, giving long, tiresome lee
lures on topics that were held to be
Interesting, but unimpoftant." Those
officers who attended the schools did
so largely because they asked for the
assignment. AS consequence, the
benefits reached only few.
| But the few who were graduated
from the service schools proved the
| full worth Of the "Leavenworth idea"
in the war with Germany They filled
the general staff positions, they di-
rected the operations. of armies, they
solved the problems of transport, all
these and more, as far is they were
able. Yet it was recognized early in
the war that there were entirely too
few men in the army who knew how
TO handle the big jobs involving the
welfare and success of the battlefield
of millions of soldiers.
| So, when peace conditions returned,
early steps were taken ~ reorganize
the service schools and apply the les
sons of the war in broader way than
ever before. Major Ferguson was sent
back to Leavenworth to set the work
established in a comprehensive way.
The officers assigned to the schools
were selected in a different manner,
so that the newer ideas of military
thought and training will be spread
equally throughout the army organi-
cations.
In the war Major Ferguson, who
reached the temporary Iank of col
onel was military member of the
committee on classification of per-
sonnet The idea of perrtnnel distri-
button according to the qualifications
of the individuals, was worked out
successfully under his direction. 1t
was an innovation in the army and
was received coldly at first, but the
results attained were so great that
by the end of the war every unit in
the army was organized according to
the plans laid down by the personnel
branch.

Not Really Aged

There is a woman in our neighbor,
hood who is eighty years of age, but
who walks with an erectness and
springiness that is the envy of women
many years younger than she. The
other day my young daughter saw
her pass, and, turning to me, she
said: Mother, her face is much
older than her legs, don't you think"
what are you crying for, my little

The time for parasols is nearly here
and there are lovely new models to
tempt us. Smart new models are in
line with deep borders of brilliant
colored Roman stripes. Silk parasols
are enhanced by wool embroidery and
are made in every detail to harmon
ize with the hand bags with which
they form a set. An imported parasol
is of fur, matching the summer cape
wrap.
Parasols of unique shapes are many
and the shapes vary-some are oblong
others diamond shaped, bell mush-
room, pagoda and regular. Parasol
materials are silk, net, lace, and ere
tonne, as well as linen and fur, as
noted above.

Corsets, the real foundation of style
and of grace, are particularly inter-
esting this season. The uncorseted
figure is not fashionable here, and af-
fected by only small percentage of
the smart women of Paris. But cor
sets that give an easy, graceful sup
pie appearance are decidedly in vogue.
This means that corsets of tricot are
the proper thing-the smartest mod
els are cut long over the hip-and
short above the waist line and are
lightly boned if boned at ali. One new
model-recently seen-has only the
front steels and the small bones at the
lacings in the back. This is an Amer
ican corset and adequately fits the
figure requirements of the Young
American woman.

STATE POLITICAL NEWS
!, = I By Vance Chapman ].
"The County Chairman. i ss !

| With Senator Harding, the Repub-
lican presidential nominee, and Gov.
Cox of Ohio, the Democratic national
standard bearer. both guests Of Min
nesota#last week, the campaign Of
1920 might be said to BIZ on in ear
nest. When this letter was in the
making, Chairman Adams Of the Re
publican state organizat lion and How
ard Everett acting in a similar ca
pacity for the unterrifed, were pre-
pairing to make the visit of the two
notables a historic one, while the
several campaign organizations were
speeding up for a thorough conbing
of the state. As to the Townley
crowd it is just as busy as ever and
just as confident of success as of old.
Considerable pep was injected into
what some of the pessimestic re-
garded as tagging campaign when
a hundred or more prominent >Repub
licans, boarded a Special train for
Marion, Ohio, last week and brought
front porch greetings from Mime
sofa to Senator Harding. This was
supplemented later with d general
conference with members of the Nat
ional Republican committee at Chi
cago, where the situation in Mime
sofa was gone over and plans pre-
pared for the National invasion of
the Gopher state. With some there
is feeling that Republican Mime
sofa is not in the best of shape and
they have been quite free with the
hammer in the matter of late cam
paign start, but their fears are .un-
founded. Minnesota will not go Dem
ecratic this year nor will Townley
and his crowd make the grade. Frank
A. Day of Fairmount was out with
the statement this week that the
| Democratic National nominee would
sweep Minnesota this fall, but he was
not willing to back up the claim with
hard cash. The only reason he could
advance for such an extraordinary
happening was that Cox was wet and
that as such he would poll heavily in
the German communities and counties
OF course as he put it "Larry" Hodg-
son would profit accordingly.
Good road enthusiasts are not a
little worried over the possible out
come of Amendment No. l in the
event that women get the ballot,
which now seems fairly certain. That
they will overlook this feature of the
November ballot is what bothers and
Yin order that there may be no mis-
hcarriage in this respect they are
urging the need of tt he amendment
be carried direct to the fair sex.
Failure to vote for a constitutional
ballot is equiWalant to a vote in op-
position and the danger in this re-
spect is all the more as the vote next
fall will be practically doubled. To
carry, Amendment No. 1 must have
a mojority Of the total votes cast.
There has been of late some per-
sistene rumors to the effect that
Senator F. B. Kellogg was contem-
plating retirement from the political
game with the close of his present
term The rumor, however, is with
out foundation in as much as the St.
Paul man has rendered his service to
the state Republican committee for
the entire campaign and has an
nounced that he will be available for
any speaking engagement desired.
