AMERICAN RELIEF WORKERS
 HAD NARROW ESCAPE

Constantinople, July 2.-(By The A. P0 The gratitude of Enver Bey, na- tionalist machine gun commander, who had been nursed back to life by Miss Mary Super of Narberth, Pa, a Red Cross nurse detailed with the American commission for relief in the Near East made possible the escape of the relief workers from the American board mis- sion buildings in Hadjin thirty minutes before the natienalists turned their ar tiilery on the structures and destroyed them on June IS.
 This fact became known today with the arrival here of Miss Super and Miss Katharine Bredemus of South Bend, Ind, from the Hadjin district. The bare news of their escape had preceded them by a few days.
 Miss Edith Cold of Cleveland, escaped with other relief workers but remained in Caesarea in the hope of being able ts give further aid to the Armenian or phans who had been under the workers care at Hadjin, while Miss Alice Clark another of the workers from Hadjin, ii at Samsun recovering from the exhaus tien of the long trip on mule bacl through the mountains of Anatolia.
 The relief workers maintained neu trality in the fighting between the Ar menians and Turks, which opened Marcl 2s. The Turks took charge of the Amer ican compound, fortifying between it ant Hadjin in such manner that wheneve the Armenians fired upon the Turks th compound was peppered.
 Under daily fire the relief worker protected the orphans until June g, whei Armenian troops from Hadjin defeate' the Turks. and captured the orphanage Fhe Armenians took the, orphans int Hadjin despite the protests of the Amer jeans, who had hoped to persuade tn nationalists to take the orphans to se fer nlaee than Hadjin. which was sher of food and ammunition and could no resist the nationalists long.
 After the Armenians withdrew wit the orphans the Americans were in gray danger as many of the nationalist lead CTS believed the Americans had helpe the Armenian military effort.
 Hadjin was under bonbafdHent of th natienalists for several days. Enve Bey, in his gratitude to Miss Super, per suaded his associates not to fire on tn buildings occupied by the Americans an

traordinary daring or seamanship the awarding of medal would not seem so unusual but the mere fact that a man was in command of vessel that was sunk by the enemy to get distinguish ed service medal seems like rewarding an officer for letting the enemy show that 1t was smarter than he.
 To undertake to promote such a policy in the navy is bound to have it's effect upon the morale. Let it become under 'srood that favoritism rather than accom- ,plishment is going to get the p1ums and the navy is going to feel the effects of it from the coal passer to the admiral Every one in the navy is expected to do his duty without special rewards and when medals are awarded it should be for something out of the ordinary.

And people never come suddenly from away except in stories. No-Rieky Sim mons has just forgotten all about me, He found something else to do that ap- pealed more to him, and he is doing it. Maybe he remembered that he had date with me and simply chose to disregard it think the real solution of the af- fair, however. is that he is out with some other girl 1"
 What girl?" demanded the literal one breathlessly.
 Why don't you wait until you hear afreu htn?" asked the lazy girl. And not get all worked up like this-it is so tiriHg.'
 ''I'm noS worked up, gdeelaredthelgt- tie bit of girl savagely. I'm just tell ing you that I'm through with Rcky Sim mons. I never did think such an awful lot of him, anyhow. He's going to have g lovely time thinking up what to say to me because no matter what it is shan't believe it. I'll know it isn't so, because it couldn't be so I wish l were taller so could stare right at him in whitening way, you know, and not say much of anything but just stare while he talked and watch him sauirn It's an awful drawback being so short" She sPrang at the telephone which shrilled out and the others listened breathlessly.
 'Sew wasn't that shame?" she cried in duleet tones as she hung up the re- ceiver "Ricky says he had blowout and a nut got lost off the axle and some thing happened to the earburetor and the poor boy has been having just the most | terrible time and is worried to death over not getting here-he couldn't leave the car to get to the phone!

WHAT EXPERIENCE TEACHES.

The proof Of the pudding lies in the eating has long since been accepted as a sound bit of advice. And from the state ments which are attributed to those who have been getting a taste of soviet gov ernment it is proving true in the testing out of the present regime in Russia.
 It was not so long ago that Emma Goldman was extolling the great benefits of bolshevism and making all sortssof at- taeks upon the government of this coun- try. Regarded as dangerous alien she was sent to the country of her birth there to experience some of the wonderful things that she imagined she saw in so- viet rule. She hasn't been there long, but she has been disiIlusioned in that short time She finds conditions far diff ferent than she expected and she longs to get back to the United States.
 To come from one of her stamp the ad- missionJis big one. But she doesn't stand alone and her feelings cannot be attributed to rostalgia. She has had the experience and it is not likely that she would say what is attributed to her if it were not so. Another in the person of Mrs. Philip SHewden socialist and
 
 thusiastic advocate of the ideas as set forth by the soviet government voices much the same opinions about the condi- tions under the bolshevik government as does Emma Goldman. She finds that au- toersey is in eentrel, that slavery rather than freedom prevails and that the dream about perfect socialism is a horri- ble nightmare.
 Distance seemed to lend entertainment in the case of these enthusiastic support CTS of the government of, Lenine and Trotzky. Once however, they are per mitted to experience the operations of soviet rule all their enthusiasm vanishes, the wonders of that new government cease and they are ready to tell the world that it. is not what it is represented to be. It will remain to be seen, how ever, whether they can impress those they previously influenced with the new facts as they have found them. Their experiences should, however, have a so- bering effect upon those who are still advocating soviet principles

MAKING AN EXCEPTION

"I'll never speak to Ricky Simmons again as long as I live ?" declared the little bit of a girl with the fluffy bun of hair overbalaneing her head.
 "Why, you've said that before" ob- jected the serious minded and literal girl, adjusting her glasses. And you always did it, anyhow, eventually !"
 '"This is not an eventually case, stormed the little bit of a girl grossly. My goodness There are time when the absolute limit is reached and"
 "What has Ricky done new?" yawned the lazy girl, dropping her book Whne men are so scarce these days it seems to me you are rash getting mad on with good looking fellow like Ricky, who can dance, too ID

 Nearly 800 claims by the various rail roads of the country remain to be settled and officials of the railroad administra- ton believe that the majority will be adjusted on the lump sum basis after balancing of the conflicting claims. Claims of some railroads run as high as s1e,ooe, GOO or $12,eeo,a0o and it is i'm possible to estimate, officials said, the amount which will eventually be paid over by the government or the time nee essary to wind up government control of the railroads

 The natieHalists took the Americans into their camp and gave them every comfort. They provided mules to carry the relief workers to Caesarea. Thence the party travelled by motor truck to Samsun.
 Hadjin has an Armenian population of 5000 with about a thousand armed men who are making their own amnupition. The city. according to the relief workers, is completely surrounded by nationaiists, consisting chiefly of bandits.

FACTS REGARDING THE
 CARE OF THE BABY By U. s. Public Health Service.
DeEeIopemnt of g Baby

At birth, a babys 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, baby develops sense of contact and temperature that is, he knows wli&-i he is being held and he can appreciate heat or cold. He learns to see light and to hear during the first three or four days.
 The first month the hands move aim lessly about. During the second month, he learns to put his hand to his mouth and tries to lift his head.
 During the third and fourth months, g baby will make an effort 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 be- gins to recognize others and develops a will of his own, which is expressed in crying when he is displeased. He will coo when he is happy.
 About the sixth month a baby can sit alone for few minutes. He will grasp and hold whatever comes within reach of his busy fingers He now begins to be sociable and will try to talk, some times making vowel sounds.
 From the seventh month to the ninth month, he will crop and will make ef= forts to stand He likes to initiate movements and to have sympathy and at tention shown him.
 From the ninth month to the twelfth month, he learns to stand and from the twelfth to the sixteenth month leans te walk. He develops sense of desire to please and this leads to obedience Some times ct the twelfth month he can say a few words.
 A baby has no moral sense or know ledge of what is right or wrong. He simply follows his instincts. An older person unnst keep him from harm and show him gently how to do the right things until he learns for himself.
 As improper feeding is one of the chief causes of a child's failing to develop properly, too close attention canno. be paid to the right feeding of a young baby.
