us about what the primitive peasant women of the Balkans do.. Doctor found that when the babies were old enough to take some solid food, these MamaS-mOSt of them with terribly decayed teeth-would chew the food first and then give it to their babies. Doctor warned them against this and told them how harmful It was.
 She told them about the tiny mil cfoscopic disease plants that might be in their mouths and be terribly harm full for their babies. She told them it was all right for birdie mamas to feed their babies in that manner because they didn't have any Gecayed teeth in the mouths nor were they liable to have disease germs either. She had to warn them many times to renem- Der they were no birds.
 My Mama prepares my mixture in the morning and then puts it in tho ice chest until I have it at my 10 o'clock feeding. It does not make any difference when this one feeding is given to us.
 When I have my feeding my bottle is warmed by standing it in a pitcher of warm water with the water coming up higher than the milk in the bottle. When it is warm enough, it is thor oughIy shaken and the nipple put on the bottle.
 |, Up to this time my bottle has been stoppered with some very clean ab- sOrbent cotton, and the nipple hole is made just large enough so that the milk will drop in rather large drops but not flow out.
 When I have my feeding, Mama or Grammie or Aunt Sue or Daddy takes me up and gives it to me. If it were given to me in my crib, might get into the habit of alternately eat ing and sleeping and take too long over 1t and perhaps get a lot of air in my tummy that would make me have collie.
 It is terribly bad thing for us Izid- dies to ge the habit of sleeping with a nipple in our mouths. If go to sleep while I am eating-I don't do it very often, but if I do. I am gen. tIy shaken and reminded that even though apparently I would rather sleep than eat at that time. must not do it.
 Sometime I am going to tell ~~~, about that terrific thing, colic have had very little of it, but very little is too much, believe me. Au revoir Tomorrow-Ansvers to Correspond ents.

A GAME SCOUT

Charles Murray, an East side boy, wanted to be a scout, but his parents objected, particularly the father, think ing, despite all the boys explanations, that it was a military movement. Then came a sad day when Charles was run over and brought to a hos pital. believed to be dying. In order to please his son, the father promised to let him be a scout if he got well. The boy suffered a punctured lung which began to heal, and as he lay in bed last winter he studied the scout handbook with might and main so as to get ready to be a tenderfoot scout as soon as he is up and about again. A member of the Horace Mann troop is teaching him all the scouting he can and the troop is about to make the invalid an associate scout The doctor has said that young Murray must practically live out of doors next summer and the boy thinks that that is the best possible chance for him to practice scouting.

SCOUT THE FAMILY COOK

The camp director at the Pasadena (California) council camp recently sampled some biscuits so superior that he asked the scout who offered them to him whether the boys mother had baked them. q made them myself right here at camp over an open fire. I do all the cooking at home" This latter rather unusual bit of informa- tion led the camp director to ask more questions and he learned that the boys father and mother were both dead and that he and his sister lived with his ninety-year-old grandmother and an in- valid aunt. My sister has been sick recently, so I do all the cooking" the scout summed up the situation.

BRITISH START
 CAMPAIGN 10
 PREVENT WARS

LONDON, June 17.-"There shall be no more war!"
 This is the battle-cry which is ring ing through Great Britain in great campaign being initiated by religious, civic and labor organizations.
 War clouds hang over Europe-of that there is no doubt-and these clouds have been more and more Vls- ihle since the Genoa Conference, when it was made very plain that the amity of the nations is not such that Euro means can look forward confidently Sto years of peace.
 Relations between France and Eng land are, to say the least, bit shaky. Russia provides an ever-present source of worry to those who are strlV- ing for world peace. There come vague rumors of monarchistic move ments of increasing strength in many of the Central European nations. From every corner and nook of Eu- rope there issue rumors of war, yet it seems certain to anyone who stud- ies the people that the ordinary gar den variety of European does not want war, no matter what the poiltl- clans may say.
 Feeling the pulse of the people and diagnosing their desires as agalnst war a powerful movement to prevent war is now under way in England. It is planned to make the movement a worldwide campaign.
 The combined power of religious civic and labor organizations is being brought to bear in this campaign. Among those who are taking leading part in the campaign are:
 Religious - Bishop Gore, Canon Sheppard, Dr. J. H. Jowett.
 Labor-J. R. Clynes, A. Henderson Robert Smile, Frank Hodges
 Women - Margaret Bondfield, A. Maude Royden, Margaret Wintring- ham, M. P, and Lady Parmoor.

Not lons ago pathetic letter came into the national headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America from a scout, expressing complete Encouragement. Although he loved the Boy Scouts of America and thought 1t the "best or ganization boys can join," the writer said he had completely failed as a scout, And why?

surround the railroad labor conference
between railroad executives and the

held in Washington on Monday, at the
invitation of Secretary Hoover. In
quiry at local railroad Offices yielded the
information yesterday that few railroad
men know what executives have been
asked to attend or what the conference
will discuss. Opinion that IL the gen.
eral attitude of the brotherhoods had
undergone change from that held in the
threatened strike in October. the discus
sions might lead to some settlement re-
specting the wages and working rules of
train service employees without recourse
to the labor board, however, prevailed.
