HEALTH ADVICE
Dcyelopment Of a Baby.

At birth. a baby's head is larger
in proportion to his body than is
an adults. The abdomen is big.
The arms and legs are short and
the legs are slightly bowed.
Soon after birth. a baby devel-
ops sense of contact and tempera-
ture; that is. he knows when he
is being held and he can appre-
ciate heat or cold. He learns to
see light and to hear during the
first three or four days.
The first month the hands move
aimlessly about. During the Sec
ond month. he learns to put his
hand to his mouth and tries to
lift his head.
During the third and fourth
months, a baby will make an eff
fort to grasp what is held before
him and will try to sit up. He
should not be allowed to do so
unless he is supported. About
this time, he begins to recognize
others and develops a will of his
own, which is expressed in crying
when he is d~ispleased. He will
COO when he is happy.
About the sixth month a baby
can sit alone for a few minutes.
He will grasp and hold whatever
| comes within reach of his busy
fingers. He now begins to be So
| ciable and will try to talk, some
times making vocal sounds.
From the seventh month to the
ninth month, he will creep and
will make efforts to stand. He
likes to initiate movements and
to have sympathy and attention
shown him.
From the ninth month to the
twelfth month, he learns to stand,
and from the twelfth to the six
teenth month, learns to walk. He
develops a sense of desire to please
and this leads to obedience,
Sometimes in the twelfth month
he can say a few words.
A baby has no moral sense OF
knowledge off whit is right oil
wrong. He simply follows his In.
stincts. An older person must
him gently how to do the right
self.
An improper feeding is one OF
the chief causes of a child's fail
ing t develop properly. too close
attention cannot be paid to the
right feeding of a young baby.
Diseased Tonsils.
Q. What are the symptoms caused
by diseased tonsils?
A. This question is too genera
to be answered by an article in thi.
column. There are many diseases o

MIR. oUINN's APPOINTMENT.

SAAk. XSlANAN
In his speech before the Demo-
cratic club in this city Friday night
Arthur A. Quinn is quoted al saying
that he hoped to be a member of the
new board of utility commissioners,
but he was. afraid some of the sena-
tors will feel somewhat similar to
the editor of the EVENING NEWS
"who is afraid l will be favorable to
labor"
The EVENING NEWS expressed
no such fear on its own part. What
the EVENING NEWS said was that
Mr.. Quinn lis an ardent organized
labor man and many will at once say
that labor interests will always come
FIRST with him in making his decis-
ions"
Mr.. Quinn confirms this statement
himself when he expresses doubt as
TO his confirmation on the port of the
senate. He himself feels. as the
EVENING NEWS said. that many
will fear hat he will put labor Ia
sterests first and because of that fear
refuse to confirm him.
The EVENING NEWS went on to
ask, what more harm is there in
having a man on the board who may
be prejudiced i'm favor of labor than
having men on the board who arc
%prejudiced In favor of the corporate
interests? % Mr.. Quinn makes no
reference to this statement In the
kame editorial to which he objected
In his speech Friday night.
4 We went on to say that the state
needs a com mission made up of men
who are big enough and broad
enough to be above mere class inter-
est and consider all matters from the
Viewpoint of the whole people,
whether capitalists or laborers." We
admitted that this was a big task
and went on to say that Governor
Edwards had come no nearer TO the
IDEAL than had Governor Edge. And
I've doubt II any other governor
would make such appointments.
As for Mr.. Quinn, we admire his
ability as a labor leader greatly. FIG
8 Of the conservative type that may
Sc trusted. We recall the excellent
work he has done in this vicinity In
getting capital and labor together
when we have had our strike
troubles. He has always opposed
,xtreme measures; he has been abls
20 grasp both sides of the contro'
yersy and, under his guidance, tn
labor situation in this state has bee
fery satisfactory when compared will
many other states.
If Mr.. Quinn is refused confrma
lion on the part of the senate 1t vii
be mainly because of his w indls
eretion In criticizing some of TIT
senator's, especially, Seihaeoi CoSe
the president of the senate. for re
marks thai the senator made apou
Governor Edwards. The Jerse'
Journal, OF Jersey City. has alread!
commented on Mr.. Quinn's chance
Of being confirmed by the senate II
view OF his remarks about Senate
Case.
The EVENING NEWS expressed
xno opposition TO Mr.. Quinn's appoint
ment to the Public Utility Commits
sion. As a matter of fact, his pas
experience ought to make him a goo
commissioner and If any are oppose
to him because he is so closet
Eidentiied with organized labor, the
Fought to be glad that labor is to b
@represented on the board by a ma
sof MI. Quinn's type rather than som

EVENTS
FOR PUR|M HERE
Social Affairs Mark Celebrating
This Jewish Holiday

Special services will be held in the
synagogs OF the eve of March 3rd,
and throughout the Jewish commun-
tty various social affairs Will take
place as a means of celebrating the
feast of Purim, a minor holiday of the
Jewish ~calandar, which occurs this
year on March 4th. and is observed
according to the practice o fthe SYM
agog, beginning with the evening OF
the previous day.
At the service the Book of Esther Is
read In the original or in a transla-
ton, accompanied by the unrestricted
comments of the congregation who
manifest their approval of the heroic
deeds of Queen Esther and Modecai
her uncle, and scorn the trickeries or
Haman by pounding desks, stamping
their feet, and making ear-splittinS
noises by means of mechanical con-
~trivanceS.
The semi-mirthful treatment of
this Biblical story yielded in course Of
time to a more sober rendition, when
the story of the Jewish people in an
clent Persia as outlined in this ac-
count mirrored in part the career of
the Jewish people of all ages. Israel
was beset by the enemy on all sides
and daily his life was threatened as
in the story of Esther.
The Joyous celebration Of the feast,
however. was never modified despite
the bitter experiences the Jewish peo-
pie were forced to endure. Every sea-
son his festival came as a means OF
enlivening the sadness of their lot and
bringing cheer to those who were
forced to dwell in darkness. Home
and synagog were both the scenes or
merriment. In the home additional
deiicacies were served and all who
were in distress in body or soul were
remembered and relieved. Social pro-
grams were arranged to alnuse and
entertain. Masked balls and itumor-
Gus theatricals were devised 10 pro-
vide merriment for the jewish COM
munity.
The traditional practices hav been
preserved to this day. Among Jewish
PEOPLE the feast of Purim is an coca
sion for social events and domestic
celebration of more or less elaborate
ness within the home circle.

Auto MesOs
To Correct Misfiring.

Sometimes misfiring of your engine
nay not be due to a faulty spark
plug. leaky valve or broken piston
rings. If your intake manifold is
struck by cold air. that will cause
the misfiring as will the other more
obvious causes. In this case No. 2
cylinder will be the one at fault, be.
cause the cold air will chill the front
side of the intake manifold at the
first branch, thus condensing the mix
u and carrying the liquid into the
combustion chamber of No. 2.
To correct this, cut out a piece OF
old tin large enough to cover the front
. branch of the intake manifold. Punch
= ole through the tin. remove the
hl~ manifold clamp. slip the tin over
the stud, bend it around so to protect
the manifold from the cold air COM
ing from the fan and keep it warm
with air from the exhaust manifold.
and tighten h clamp.
49, Keep OF the Tracks.
o may hin it easy and smooth
driving, when o let your car ride
the car tracks. But 10 you know that
wher there should be the least rub?
The tread is where the tire should
wear. But riding the arc along car
tracks wears the tires along the sides
"a weak spot. Besides. there's
greater liability to skid. when turning
out.
Watch Your Engine.
/ When your engine misses, several
parts of your car are being subjetedo
to Injurious strains. The gears are
liable to chip or even break. due to
the sudden pulls IN the teeth when a
cylinder misses and the engine mo-
mentarily slows dow until the next
cylinder fires. It's a hop and a jump
process, with the result that a strain
ed vibration occurs and the burden
falls upon the gears. The differen-
tial also suffers. and so do other parts
lof the car. To prevent undue wear
in such a case. the car should imne-
diateIy be repaired.

What Is the Church to Offer for Sum

What has the church to offer for
summer Sunday afternoon2 Nothing out
a closed edihce from / o'clock on i'll many
a village and city. Nothing takes place
within the ediice or outside of it to at
tract the passerby. The lawn or the
porch that might be utilized for gospel
meeting or a community musical service
is deserted. Most of the church people
are following their own bent, DONG the
things that interest them. A few are
playing tennis or golf. Many are taking
long automobile rides.
If church people insist that no noisy
games shall be played ON Sunday alter
non, they are all the more under obi
CATION to find out what the boys, young
men and young women are dong, ana
put within their reach opportunities that
will interest and elevate them. On the
other hand, those church people who sane
ton baseball in the interests OF fairness
and Aas a barrier against a wholly com
mercfalized Sunday school, as IN llolyoke,
see to it that the games are properly
supervised and that the real intent OF
more liberal legislation be not eVaded or
defeated
The spirit that looks toward guidance
and control calls for far more courage
self-sacrifce and persistence on the part
of Christians than the attitude OF protest
and repression. 1t is much easier to vote
ave with others when resolution IS pass
