WEIGHING THE BABY. NOW CARRIERS JOB.
tBy the Associated Press)

Minneapolis, Mfnn., April 6.-Be- cause he is a physician himself, Dr. Hubert Work, postmaster general, sees healthful movement among babies in the instutiors of the prac- tice. of weighing infants in the suburban resort districts near here in summer, and he has recommended that it be continued during the hot months this year.
 Dr. Work can adequately perceive the benefits of the movement because of his profession, according to Post master E. A. Purdy of this city, under whose orders the weighing began. Begun last summer in the Minnea- polls Minnetonka parcel post service, it's success has been manifest
 Thousands of Minneapolis families move to the Lake Minnetonka dis trict, where they abide in cottages. distant from the business districts and clinics.
 Young mothers, anxious to know the status of their babies as to weight, which aids in judging their health. had no adequate weighing devices available. When one fretful mother asked the driver of a parcel post truck to weigh her baby, which was reported to Postmaster Purdy, the latter ordered the weighing of the in- fants, declaring it one of the human izing' efforts of the postal admin istratiOn.
 Drivers of the trucks now are mastering the art of handling the in fants and promulgating rules of dress to enable the weighing of the tots on "hook' scales attached to the truck

M'RAE IN TRIBUTE
 TO WAR PRESIDENT

Little Rock, April 6.-That future generations will esteem Woodrow Wilson at his full value as a states man, is the opinion of Governor Me Rae. In letter addressed to an author in Idaho, asking him for his estimate of the world war president to be used in book, Governor McRae says:
 Tn accordance with your kind letter of March 20. gladly write you briefly my estimate of ex-President Woodrow Wilson, whom you propose to make the subject of your book.
 Long after his detractors are for gotten, Woodrow Wilson will be re- membered and appreciated by the civ iiization of the future. Particularly Is it proper to link his name with civilization. His steady moving for ward in all things undertaken, stamp ed him as great man. His vision has been clear, his sympathes right and his stewardship untarnished by unfalthfulness or unworthy action.
 of course, he was a great pres ident, heading our government at an important period, but it is likely that he will be longest remembered for his part in the world war, and the epoch al happenings following. It is for tunate indeed, that he bids fair to live to see his prestige restored, following the unreasoning attitude of the peo- pie of the world following and ac- companying Americas failure to en- ter the League of Nations.
 q am glad to contribute in some small measure to anything that seeks to place properly before the country and the world, the life and work of this great and good man.

In the recent developments in the
international polo tournament on the
campus of the Rumson Country Club
followers of that sport in this coun-
try find further evidence that in polo.
as well as in tennis, boxing, track
and field athletics and many other
recreations, America stands at the
top. The superiority of our leading
players over those Of England was
proved strikingly on the other side
last summer. But because of the
rise of polo in the Argentine and the
successes of the South Americans in
England this summer a new doubt
as to our position was born.
That doubt has been laid. Those
who with knowledge of the game
watched the Argentinians attempt to
ooncede five goals to the Orange
county four last Saturday and then
saw them outscore their rivals In ac-
tual TALES by only two came away
with the conviction that the Argen-
tine Polo Federation was not yet in a
position to challenge America for the
International Cup. The South Ameri-
cans play skillfully--more skillfully
than had been expected here. They
ride hard; they hit accurately; their
mounts are far faster than horsemen
here had believed Argentinian ponies
could be. But English polo with a
slight Spanish influence which the
invaders showed was not up to the
standard of the American game.
In polo as well as in tennis Amer
leans have departed from tradition
and have developed distinctly Amer
lean style. 1t is a game in which
terrific speed and tremendous hit
ting power are combined. 1t keeps
the defense in state of constant
unbalanoe. In this game great indi-
vidual players have developed, but
their development has not been at the
expense Of team work. Baseball play
ers who neglect team work for the
sake OF individual brilliancy will do
well to study the record of American
polo players.
The Argentinians, the two British
players on the Eastcott four and the
All Ireland team will have ample op-
portunity to prove their skill and
power in the national open games at
Rumson and in the Philadelphia and
Meadow Brook tournaments. Polo in
this country is getting great slim
ulus from the visit of these foreign
teams. and no doubt the game will
receive similar benefits abroad.

Ey the Turkish advance and that the
Turks then would be free to advance
upon Smyrna and the coast. Euro
pean influences undoubtedly stopped
KEMAL in the interior of the country
on his former advance. 1t seems i'm
probable that such influence will be
exerted in the present instance. The
Nationalist, in the possession of
most OF Asia Minor and the victors
in the latest move in the war, will
thus be in better position than they
ever were before when the Near East
conference meets at Venice.
The Greeks, it is reported, may re-
taliate by an advance upon Constan-
tinople. They already have four di-
visions in Thrace on the outer de-
lenses of the Turkish capital. But
the Allies with the army and the
warships at their command are in a
position to stop this move and they
very likely will il it is attempted.
The Greeks should understand that
the occupation OF Constantinople un-
der present conditions would avail
them very little. The whole situa-
ton makes more imperative than
ever an early meeting of the Venice
conference and a permanent settle
ment of the Near East question.
Political delays and diplomatic make
shift policies endanger more each day

pairs. Snow is regarded as the great
enemy of rail transportation, and in
formation furnished by the snow reports
OF the Weather Bureau helps to fore
warn the railroads as TO districts where
windbreaks or snowsheds should be

Heavy rains bring about floods which

these disasters can be averted. but when
prediction can be made In time steps
may be taken to lessen the damage by

Ice storms and thunderstorms often
put electrified lines out of order. High
winds will sometimes derail trains. Snow

DR.. ALvAH H. DoTY, former Health
Oficer of the Port OF New York,

ing to organize a national campaign
directed toward the mosquitoes ex-
termination.
New York has been reminded with
itching frequency this summer that
the mosquito is too much with us.
So has New Jersey. New Workers
complain that their mosquitoes come
from New Jersey and Jerseymen
protest that the mosquitoes that an
noy them come from New York. The
distinction isn't important. What is
important is that there has been a
great increase in the number of mos
quitoes in this vicinity, due in large
measure to the seasons extraordi-
nary rainfall.
The National Civic Federation pro-
poses that the health officer Of every
community in which the mosquito Is
pest shall join Immediately in the
work of determination. Now is the
period OF active propagation. 1t will
last several weeks longer.
