WORDS SHOULD -.
.@ FIT THEIR USER

Did you ever stop to think that
words may be like clothes-too large
for too small? That when they do
not suit the thought they are ILL
fitting, and unpleasant to give the
party who hears or reads them
Yet this Is, indeed, often the case.
And every person should choose his
words with care, so they may not
be too big, like fathers trousers on
his little son, or too little, like a
handme-down suit three sizes too
small for a growing boy. Besides, a
person who uses words that do not
convey his exact meaning loses the
force of an idea that might accom-
plish much in deed and action. A
lack of skill in the use of these tools
of thought may serve to keep one
down in the world when he belongs
on top. II you once learn to use
a dictionary you will be surprised
at the rapidity with which you will
advance. We had In mind the i'm
mense benefit to our readers when
we chose The New Universities Die
tionary for general distribution in

being published for the last few

Sometimes the young mother Is
rather in the dark as to how to
vary her own milk to suit her
baby. The specialists who are do.
ing much in behalf Of better babies
have figured out certain effects that
the mothers own diet Is likely to
have on-her baby.
II the baby's stools are full of
curds IL indicates an excess of pro-
teids in the mothers milk which
means that the baby should be
nursed less frequently and given a
little less at feeding.
Sour vomiting on the baby's part
indicates too much fat in the
mothers milk. The mother should
eat less of fat-making food (bread
butter, sugar, etc.) and more meat
Watery stools without curds may
be the result of too much sugar or
too much fat. The mother should
reduce these in her diet.
Water is good for a baby and the
more fluid the mother takes the
larger percentage of water the baby
will receive through the milk.
II the baby seems we'll but fails
to gain weight it probably needs
more sugar. The mother might ca,
more simple sweets or more bread
or potatoes as starches are changed
to sugar in the body.
The mother whose milk does not
seem to agree exactly with her in
fant should try some of these dietic
changes before placing the child on
modified cows milk as mothers
milk Is much the safest food for
baby.

ing chin along with the full lower
lip. while with the Spanish type of
jaw it is combined with a massive
chin.
Now just because this is known
as the Spanish jaw, you should not
conclude that it is characteristic of
Spaniards in general. Far from it.
1t is no more usual among them
than among the English or the Irish
or the French. 1t might rather be
known as the jaw of the Spanish

SKOVGAARD'S HAND INSURED

Here is a picture of the $50,000.-
90 hand belonging to Skovgaard.
the Danish Violinist who is to ap-
pear at the University Chapel
on March 81, 1920.
1t took Skovgaard thirty years
to make this hand. Incessant train
ing and the Unborn soul of the art
ist fashioned it. To the ordinary
eye it is not very different from 9th
err we'll developed hands. Yet it has
the powe- almost automatically to
express through the violin the ex-
quisite beauty and marvellous tone
pictures which the player feels and
sees as he interprets the work OF
the Masters. As an investment il
represents a mans life work. But
it represents, too, the Unborn gift
which no money can buy. That is
why it is insured for $5O,000.OO.

Violins may not have the senti-
ments and sensibilities attributed to
them by imaginative musicians, but
they have histories, interesting and
varied, gay romances and dark ira
gedies, even as do their warm
friends of mankind. A violin which
lis not only remarkable in itself, but
with a remarkable story is one pos
sessed by Alexander Skovgaard, the
Danish Violinist, who is to appear
at the University Chapel on March
81. It is as bright and polished as
if it had left the hands of it's MAX
err but yesterday, and still the in
strument is over 200 years old. :
First person to play upon tire vio-
lin was Mr. Skovgaard himself. To
chance meeting with London
dealer in musical instruments Mr..
Skovgaard owes his good fortune in
obtaining his rare Strad. This man
had a fine collection Of old Italian
violins, they were real antiques,
scratched, and worn, through more
or less rough life for several centu-
ries. Having reveled in the wealth
before him and tried most of them,
Mr.. Skovgaard remarked that it
would have been pleasure to have
seen such instruments when they
We're new, but. such pleasures were
denied modern artists. To the sur
prise of the Danish artist, his new
friend replied in the negative and
stepped to a freproof vault and
came out with big yellow leather
case, which he opened and took out
an unstrung violin and handed it to
his guest. Apparently it was just
from the makers shop, but plainly
it was lettered. Aptonius Stradi-
varius, Ammo 1712. "When / was
last in Madrid" said the dealer, II
was presented to a collector of art
works, in whose collection, however,
there was but one violin, namely,
a Stradivarius. Naturally I inquir-
ed how a violin could have become
lost among so many paintings and
he then informed me that it was an
old heirloom which had always been
