 The Baby's Appeal
 Is there any one thing in the world which brings us so quick and so smiling a response as happy dimp- ling baby? On the other hand, is there anywhere so sad a sight as a sick baby, or some one iIl-nouriShed, deformed kiddie?
 Everyone knows what results fol- low the lack of right diet, lack of needful care and lack of knowledge as to hows, why's and wherefores on the part of mothers. Clinics and health stations abound throughout this country, all designed to improve the conditions surrounding child life:
 An extension of this sympathy and interest has found it's way into the most sorely devastated areas of France. A worker of the American Committee for Devastated France. trained and experienced nurse. found after the death of her own baby that the best service she could render was to the children and women who are paying so heavy g. price for that evil way responsible.

 From the interest of this one woa- an in the welfare of the mothers and babes of the village in which she was domiciled, and the steady inter. est and support of the members or the Am erican ConlTnlttee for DeVaStat- ed France, headed by Miss Anne Mor- gan there has grown a nursing ser vice which is not only ministerlng to the needs of the people of the four cantons of the Aisne and Rheims but is serving as demon stration of the possibilities of hygiene and nursing under most adverse cir cumstances.

Poland Makes Fishing
 An Important Industry

New York, Sept. 29.-Though fa- vored with only a limited seacoast. Poland, according to recent Warsaw newspaper reports quoted by the Fol- ish Bureau of Information here, has an important fishing industry. The Encyclopedias of Warsaw recently stated that there were 25 fisherman's villages along the short stretch of Po- lands Baltic Sea coast. to the west Of the Free City Of Danzig.
 During July the value of fish caught by the Polish fishermen was 22,00o.- GOO Polish marks and 2,500.000 Ger man marks The value would have been even greater had not stormy weather reduced the number to be- tween 15 and 20. The greater pro portion of the fish were founders, the weight of these fish being about 527.- 900 pounds.
 The weight of eels caught was 12, 500 pounds and that of other fish about 35,0O0 pounds. The number of fishermen engaged during this month was 669.
 All Polish citizens have full rights to engage in fishing off the Polish seacoast. Fishing permits which are issued free of charge by the Govern ment are required however. Of such permits, 1.059 have been issued. A total of over 900 boats are used Ill the fishing industry, of which some hundred are motor propelled.

they will be correct, even though they are short. Short fingers should not keep you from learning to play | the piano.
 B.:-Olive oil is nourishing to the skin, but a formula composed of olive or almond oil and other ingred- tents makes a better skin food than just the oil by itself, as each thing contributes something to the merits of the formula. For instance, bees wax, one of the ingredients in good cream, helps the action of the oil as it seals the pores during the time the oil is being absorbed by the
 skin, and the other things are equally helpful.
 There can be no general rule for the number of times you should use any particular cream. If you are
 middle aged or older, and the skin is dry, you should use a nourishing cream every day; if you are young
 and the skin is firm. use only enough
 cream to keep the skin pliable and the tissues nourished.
