During the first year sleep is Of

during his hours OF sleep that he

and strength. When the baby Is not
taking his due allotment of sleep,
despite good and proper food, one
can be sure that he will not pro-
gress as he should.
There are many reasons why a
baby does not sleep. Foremost
among them-barring imperfect nu-
triton which is the leading aus
is that he is played with too

His nervous system is so keyed up

NEW YORK, April 13.-Would
you, dear mother, clean your scalp
in soap and water every day in the
week, week in and week out.
OF course, you wouldn't! Just
think what would become of your
hair if you did. 1t would become
dry and thin, and eventually fall
out. aaa azas
Yet, if your ease IS not excep-
tional, you are hampering the
growth and life of your child's hair
Ly exactly this sort of treatment.
This statement is made as a warn
ing to American mothers, from New
York's champion waver, Miss Mar
garet Gilligan, who recently won a
prize of $1,000 from the American
Master Hairdressers' Association.
Many a day Miss Gilligan has
transformed twelve straight-haired
women into Mary Pickfords, and
5000 heads a year IS a fairly con-
s~ervative estimate. she believes.
She Knows Hair
Miss Gilligan has delved into all
the secrets of the hair. She knows
its inner life and reactions. She be-
lieves the Caucasian race should
naturally have wavy and curly hair
and that straight hair is as unnat-
ural for us as curly hair would be
for an Indian chief.
Badness and straight hair, she
says, are directly traceable to bad
care of the scalp ir infancy.

IMMIGRATION CHAOS ]
BLAMED ON HYSTERlA'
BY JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEW YORK, April 13.-Do we
need protection against the immi-
grant? Or does the immigrant need
protection against US?
Chiefly the latter, says Kate Holla-
day Claghorn, instructor of social re-
search of the New York School OF
Social Work, whose book, THE I'm
migrants Day in Court" throws new
light on an international problem.
National hysteria, borne Of war
conditions still sways America" says
Miss Claghorn. THE same sort of
historical fear that brought or many
of the recent agitations is now d.
rected against the foreigner.
yet the fear is largely without
foundation. We need new legislation
restricting immigration-but not 10
save us so much as to save the m
migrant.
"The most rigid investigation has
not been able to show that immi-
grant labor has lowered the wages Of
the American working man. Indeed,
by his willingness to do the dirty
work, to dig in sewers ana sIch, the
immigrant has forced the American
up-up into the positions OF o~verseer
and superintendent.
The American is literally living
off the foreigner.
But what happens to the for
eigner when he lands in this eoun-
try? He is exploited on every side.
Swindlers rob him of his DaggaSf
and money Taxi drivers drive him
put of his way in order to extort a
larger.fe from him. Foremen peri
odieally demand a part of MS wages
under the threat of firing him.
sWhen he desires to invest his
meagre savings in real estate, swim
oilers get him to sign papers the
meaning of which he knows nothing
IF he loses a leg in an accident,
ambulance runners promptly gel
him into the power of shysttr law
yers who extract every possible bli
of money from him.
when he goes to court lie en-
counters a justice frequently hostile,
many times not only mercenary but
downright illiterate.
IF he happens TO be a Russian
and shows any interest at all IT
soeialistic activities he stands the
chance of being deported, without
the security offered by the court.
Under such circumstances tbs
need for restriction of immigration
is self-eyident. II is necessary n

! grant may be protected by the social

to the baby.
Human hair itself is a waste

Cavemen Lovers

Modern man hasn't enough respect
| for his ancestors, we are told by an
eminent author.
He urges a more kindly attitude
toward the caveman, who, he says,
, may have possessed genius equal to
our own.
Our idea OF cavemen Is limited.
We have no first hand acquaintance
| with the species, and ever since Mr..
! Bryan, former candidate for presi-
dent. came, forth in the public prints
denying that his generation is de-
scended from the ape, we are mud
| died up in our evolution theories.
But we've seen them in the movies
the cavemen. The celluloid su-
thorities in Hollywood undoubtedly
know whereof they screen. Any man
| who hasn't consulted a barber for
three days, ear a fur rug and toss
es a perfect lady about like a toy
balloon, appears to be eligible to
the Primitive Order of Cavemen. His
muscles resemble the physical Gull
ture advertisements, wherein the ex-
ponent of the daily dozen gazes lap
turously down the bulges of his iex-
ed arm
But it is in the love scenes where
| the caveman registers 100 per cent
proof against s~issiness. 1t is true
that he has hard shedding with the
board of censors who slash his ard
ent caresses down to three feet each.
II But even with these minimum
footage kisses he manages to get his
message across,
Yes, Mr.. Eminent Author, we've a
lot of respect for the caveman. If
ever we met one in real life we'd
have the same respect for him as we
have for an unattached lion with a
peeve.
We'd scramble out OF his range
and give him just as wide a berth as
possible.

! can't grow as politically and
with as much strength as needs.
This is the answer: Weeds
grow wild, with no helping hand,
and they have to fight for exis-
tence or perish. They fight
hard. That's why they survive.
Take a garden. The yege-
tables received almost constant
aid from men. They are. in eff
feet, pampered. Through many
generations they have come 20
expect this outside aid, in the
sense that by having this aid sup
piled to them they have lost much
of the natural and initiative Of
vegetable life in the wild state.
Progressively, as you take the
obstacles away, the garden truck
becomes weaker in ability to
complete for existence with 9TH
er growing things. So with all
of US.
Obstacles are sent to make us
fight, thereby developing our
powers, our strength.
Carveth Wells, explorer, blaz-
ed a railroad route through the
dense wild growth. When they
returned, months later, they
found that the surveying stakes
which they had driven along the
path had grown up into tall
bamboo trees. That wouldn't
happen with domesticated trees,
accustomed through generations
to being pampered and aided,
and thereby weakened. The
bamboo, forced to struggle in
competition with millions of 9TH
er specimens of plant life in the
dense jungIes, had built up a
tremendous power of growth and
victory.
You will find the same thing
in the Far North, where short
summer seasons make the strug-
gle for existence so acute and in
tense that vegetation grows with
almost asparagus speed, and
spilled grass seed even sprouts
in the cinders along railroad
tracks. Compare this with the
trouble you have growing grass
on your lawn.
You have observed how rats
and mice flourish and multiply
as a reaction to being constantly
hunted. SO on, all through the
animal kingdom, man included.
Success of the able, like survival
of the fittest, necessitates a
hard struggle-obstacles galore.
