SLEEP FOR THE BABY

During the first few weeks nor.

the time, and should be left undls-
turbed except for necessary care. lie
should sleep in a crib, bassinet or
basket protected from the light and
draughts; in no circumstances should
baby sleep in the bed with his
mother or any other person. Pillows
arc unnecessary for babies, and IN
decd for older children, but II used
they should be thin and firm.
The amount Of sleep necessary grad
ually diminishes, but during all the
years of growth a child needs more
sleep than an adult. The amount OF
sleep required daily is approximately
as follows: First month, Is to ~
hours; second TO sixth month, IL to
Is hours; sixth month to one year,
II to Is hours; one year to two years,

and another in the afternoon are de-
sirable. A child who is inclined to
sleep so long that his nap interferes
with his nights sleep, should be walked
from his nap, but at the same hour
every day. When the child is year

Inc attention Of the country was
called TO the heavy losses now Sis
tanned by farmers on account OF bad
roaQs and TO the economic and social
benefits which accrue to them and to
the people OF the whole country as
result OF general road Improvement.
Inc conference declared that farmer
ought TO be able to haul TO markets
twice as much and twice as often
as he has been able to do IN the past
and that il the farmer is to help IL

not dumping them on the market

as being in favor Of highway research
by Federal, State and college author
tues to the end that traffic on hign-
ways may be regulated according to
the facts developed.
Congress was urged to continue
Federal aid for the building OF inter
state, postal and the farm to market
roads and to appropriate adequate
funds for a definite period so that the
States may plan equitable coopera-
ton.
The conference urged that every
possible effort be made to promote
safety of life and limb on the high
ways and that as economy of trans
portation depended on well kept high
ways that ali possible safeguards
should be placed about the MAINTAIN
ance of the roads.
Realizing that traffic conditions are
rapidly changing and that load build
ing is now an important engineering
and business undertaking, the confer
ence urged that all partisan or pollt-
zeal consideration in such work must
be eliminated.

but our map division dates back
only to 1897. In 25 years Mr..
Phillips has made it the most. per-
| fectly organized map collection in
the world. He had been in the Ii
brary of Congress when it was in
the capitol building and he took
charge of the new division from
the beginning. He has catalogued
it, written volumes of descriptive
indexes for reference use, designed

a cheap method of hanging maps

series is only one item in the gov
eminent collection.
There are 5000 aliases, dating
from 1855 to the present. 1t took
four thick volumes to describe and
index these aliases. 1t took another
volume to list the maps applicable
to the World War. This was print
ed in 1918. If it We're brought ur
to date it would probably be sew

and revised maps of Europe are
being printed every day. The world
doesn't change much, but there is
always something new in maps.
