may be negro racial characteristic to grow
slowly the first three years of life and then to
gain weight and height at an accelerated rate
as compared with growth of whites
The less serious physical defects to which
children are subject-adenoids, enlarged or
diseased tonsils, or bad teeth-seemed to
have no great effect upon height and weight,
although children so afflicted were shorter
and lighter than the average. Ricketts, and
malnutrition, however, were shown by marked
deficiencies, malnutrition resulting in chill
dren and inch and one-third below average
height ond nearly three and one-half pounds
below average weight.
In thousands of American homes DR.. En-
NETT Hollis books on the rearing OF children
are the standard textbooks of the nursery. 1t
may be of comfort to parents whose children
fail to come up to DR.. Hollis weight and
height averages to know that the Children
Year averages do no come up to them, either
DR.. Hollis averages are based on the measure
ments of a relatively small number OF chill
dren brought to him in his private practice.
In fact, other standard tables of measurements
for children show averages higher than the
new averages obtained by the Children's Blu
reau The reason probably is that the aver
ages ascertained by individuals are affected
to some extent by the unconscious selection
of better physical types. The Children s
Year averages, based on the measurements OF
nearly 100000 children from all sorts Of
homes and from every section of the United
States, represent the true cross-section OF
American childhood.

clouds of incandescent metallic vapor. At
what lies below we can only guess. So hot
is the suns atmosphere that iron, nickel,
copper and tin are present in it in gaseous
state. About it at great distances circle not
only our earth but certain kindred bodies
called the planets. These shine in the sky
because they reflect the light Of the sun;
they are near enough for us to note their
movements quite easily Night by night
their positions change with regard to the
fixed stars.
1t is we'll to understand how empty is
space IT. as we have said, the sun were
ball nine feet across, our earth would, in pro-
portion, be the size Of one-inch ball, and at
distance of 323 yards from the sun. The
moon would be a speck the size of small
pea, thirty inches from the earth. Nearer
to the sun than the earth would be two other
very similar specks the planets Mercury
and Venus, at distance of 125 and ESQ yards
respectively. Beyond the earth would come
the planets Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus
and Neptune, at distances of 500, 1900,
5000, 5000 and $500 yards respectively.
SPECKS IN SPACE
There would also be a certain number Of
very much smaller specks, flying about among
these planets, more, particularly a number
called the asteroids circling between Mars and
Jupiter, and occasionally little puff of more
or less luminous vapor and dust would drift
into the system from the almost limitless
emptiness beyond.
Such a puff is what we call comet. All
the rest of the space about us and around
us and for unfathomable distances beyond is
| cold, lifeless and void. The nearest fixed
star to us, on this minute scale, be it remem-
bered-the earth as a one-inch ball and the
moon little pea-would be over 10000
miles away. Most of the fixed stars we see
would still be scores and hundreds of mil
lions of miles away.
The science that tells of these things and
how men have come to know about them to
astronomy, and to books Of astronomy the
reader must go to learn more about the sun
and stars. The science and description of the
world on which we live are called respective
ly geology and geography.

Padere1Osk; Leaves Politics

-HE announcement given out in Paris
that Ignace Jan Paderewski has retired
definitely from the public political life
of Poland has caused various comment.
In Poland they see Paderewski's retire
ment as a detection from the ranks of the
politicians when these ranks are being boil
stored for the election which impends there;
but elsewhere than in Poland there is more
than just a little selfish joy expressed in the
press notices.
Grant the selfishness Of the music-lovers
for it is said that Paderewski spends his time
now practicing for forthcoming tour of the
United States, and even granting it, one does
not, somehow, feel overly regretful that
Paderewski is to come to us again, not the
statesman and internationalist, but that won
der-worker who can, with his wizardy, make
men forget.
Warsaw may be right in criticising the
pianist's return to his first love. but those
who know the mans genius and who have
heard him can but be glad of the news that
comes from overseas; for, had Paderewski
foregone the piano for all time, as once it
seemed he would do, it would have been
we'll, like throwing upon a fire the only ex-
listing score of a nocturne of Chopin's.

Land ornaments
THE league Of nations special armament

F." HE league of nations special armament
reduction commission is concluding its
sessions and intends, apparently, to
report to the assembly of nations that the
time is not yet ripe for the reduction of land
ornaments by general agreement.
League statesmen believe that in time,
when such matters as the reparations pay
ments are settled, other obstacles can be re-
moved, but they agree that the time for dis
armament Il not yet
France pleads her cause eloquently: she
must have an army large enough to protect
France (although she is not threatened); she
must have an army large enough to protect
the peace settlement, especially in Poland
which lies exposed to German attack
(although the likelihood of German attack
Is as remote as the pole); and, finally, she
must have an army large enough to force
from Germany, if it becomes necessary, the
reparations payments stipulated in the peace
treaty.
From the proceedings of the commission is
gathered the information that, whenever the
reduction of armies is preached, France has
countered with three questions: Will you
guarantee to protect France against unpro-
voked aggression? Will you guarantee the
new frontiers of Europe that border France?
Will you guarantee that France will be paid
by Germany?
So long as the replies to these three ques-
tions are in the negative, and they have been,
just so long will France hold out for an ever
growing army, and, while the French army
grows, Russia remains ominously threatening
with one and one-half million men under
arms and the ever likely contingency that
some sort of partnership may engender be-
tween the Bolshevists and Germany.
Colonel House, VINO certainly has been
never calamity how1er, warns against I'M
due optimism SO far as American co-opera-
ton with Europe is concerned; yet it is a
difficult thing to consider the conferences
abroad that end nowhere; the parleys that
are mere talk and the meetings that are but
diplomatic by-play without wondering some
times just where Central Europe is drifting

THE EARTH IN SPACE
TIME earth on which we live is a spir
ming nlnha thn1 oh IL

TIME earth on which we live is spin
ming globe. Vast though it seems to
us, it is a mere speck Of matter in
greater vastness of space
Space is, for the most part, emptiness. At
great intervals there in this emptiness
flaring centers of heat and light, the "fixed
stars" They are all moving about in space,
Notwithstanding that they are called fixed
stars, but for long time men did not realize
their motion.
They are so vast and at such tremendous
distances that their motion is not perceived.
Only in the course of many thousands of
years is it appreciable. These fixed stars
are so far off that, for all their immensely,
they seem to be, even when we look at them
through the most powerful telescopes, mere
points of light, brighter or less bright.
A few, however, when we turn telescope
upon them, are seen to be whirls and clouds
Of shining vapor which we call nebulae. They
are SO far off that movement of millions Of
miles would be imperceptible.
THE STAR WE CALL THE SUN
One star, however, is so near to US that
it is like great ball Of flame. This one is
the sun. The sun is itself in it's nature like
fixed stars in appearance because it is beyond
comparison nearer than they are; and be-
cause it is nearer men have been able to learn
something of it's nature.
It's mean distance from the earth is nine
ty-three million miles. 1t is a mass of flam-
ing matter, having a diameter Of 900
miles. It's bulk is a million and quarter
times the bulk of our EARTH
These are difficult figures for the magma
ton. If bullet fired from Maxim gun
at the sun kept it's muzzle velocity unim-
paired, it would take seven years to reach
the sun. And yet we say the sun is near,
measured by the scale of the stars.
If the earth were a small ball, one-inch in
diameter, the sun would be globe of nine
feet in diameter; it would fill a small bed
room. 1t is spinning round on it's axis but
since it is an incandescent fluid, it's polar re-
gions do not travel with same velocity as it's
equator, the surface Of which rotates in
about twenty-five days.
The surface visible to us consists Of
