Negro ProbatiOner
Sent Back to Jail

Thornton Gibson. colored, was sent
to Jail to serve out a 60-day sentence
yesterday by Judge Mcmahon in Police
Court on a charge of having violated
the terms Of his probation. He was
given his freedom last April aztec the
court had suspended sentence on a
charge Of stealing a bicycle.
He was arrested again on November
20 and charged with the theft of two
suits valued at S215. from an automo-
bile owned by the Carmack Dry Clean
ing Company. which was parked on
Columbia road, near Sixteenth street
northwest. Detective King said he re-
covered the stolen property When
arraigned on this charge, the court
revoked his probation and held him
for action of the grand jury on a
charge Of grand larceny also.

officially that the Italians hold the
same view.
Submarine fleets In the hands of
the French and Italians. however,
have an obvious menace for Brit
ain. In case of war with one or
both of these nations, the British
sea lanes through the Mediterran-
can, which are the life lines of
British empire in the Near and Far
East, would be promptly cut. French
bases in North Africa and Italian in
Sicily and on the mainland would
offer points of departure for the
deadly craft and Egypt and other
British Mediterranean holdings
would be isolated.
In addition the French coast fac
ing Britain would offer innumerable
bases for similar attacks, bases far
more advantageous than the Ger
man at Zeebrugge, which were so
troublesome during the world war
Even a limitation of the number
of submarines would not accomplish
British purpose, because as the
case of Germany showed. once war
came construction could be swift.
Only Safety In Abolition.
Thus British safety from the ma
val point of view depends rather
upon success in procuring the abo-
lition of the submarine than in OBJ
tanning the reduction of the allow
ances made to various countries.
This explains Mr.. Balfour's original
stand and it also explains the un-
mistskable British effort to have
the question approached from
moral rather than a material angle.
All of the various phases of the
question were discussed in the ad-
visory committee, the British con-
tention did not lack for an advo-
cate and not only was the proposal
to eliminate the submarine debat-
ed. but also a similar proposal to
restrict the size. to prevent the con-
struction of large submarines ca

"Baby's Summer Outfit"

Summer heat affects and weakens
a baby quickly largely because his
ability to regulate his W body
heat is poorly developed. There
fore, next to feeding the proper
clothing of a baby during hot spells
is an all important subject for every
mother.
Babies should not be swaddled or
bundled up in an unnecessary
amount of clothing. The garments
should be changed and adapted to
the varying weather. conditions. The
clothing should be light. When the
days are very hot remove most OF
the clothes leaving only a thin loose
shirt and the diaper. With young
babies the band should be left on
unless the doctor permits its re-
moval. All clothes should be clean
and dry. They should be washed,
boiled and rinsed before using
again. This applies especially to
the diaper.
Clothing with tight Wristbands
should never be used-no matter
how cute the outfit is. P~etticoats
and skirts should be supported by
straps over the shoulders.
The baby should never be dressed
for appearance in heavily embrot-
| dered frock or lace trimmed petit
coats. To allow the baby to go bare
footed during hot weather is not
only cooler but permits at the same
time a healthy development of the
feet and toes.
A. baby, like an automobile,
should be ~water-cooled. Plenty of
water, both on the inside n out,
will help keep an infant well.
A simple and serviceable layette
which will meet the baby's needs
the year round follows:
-Four abdominal bands, soft fan
mel, unhemmed, 6 to s inches wide,
20 inches long; 4 shirts, silk and
wool or cotton and wool, size 2; A
flannel skirts, hung from shoulder,
not with bands to pin around abdo-
men; 4 nightgowns or wrappers of
outing flannel, open in front; 3 knit
ted bands, wool and cotton, with
shoulder straps; 6 very simple white
slips; 4 dozen diapers, c~heesecloth,
birdseye or stork diapering, which
looks like old soft Turkish toweling;
3 pairs of socks for summer baby;
8 pairs of long stockings for winter
baby; one simple coat and cap: one
pair of mittens for winter; 2 short
loose sacques for sudden changes
in temperature; 2 crocheted or knit
ted or flannel blankets.
