E CRAVING FOLK

She is a splendid worker. She is enthusiastic, quick
tireless and capable. She is interested in civic affairs. Did
more than her share of war work during the war. She has a
very sympathetic nature and can always be relied upon to
work hard for any drive that may be put over to help a hui
name cause for a distressed country.
She sounds ideal, doesn't sheY Just the kind of person
that the country needs thousands of. And she would be II
it were not for just one fault. But this fault IS SO outstand-
ing, SO encompassing, so glaring that it almost overshadows
her many splendid qualities.
She is so afraid that she is not going to get credit enough
for what she does that she keeps herself in a constant turmoil
fussing about it. Not only is she herself upset but 1t Keeps
the people with whom she works upset and somewhat lrrltated.
Thus she spoils her popularity and much OF the good eifect
of her splendid work. Like the COW who gives a fine pail of
milk and then kicks it over.
What makes a person like that? Is it vanity, an unnat-
ural craving for an appreciation, or what? Whatever 1t is 1T is
really pathetic, for one feels that if such a person could put
overcome this one annoying fault they would have such a big
personality.

"a dog, a wife and a walnut tree,
the more they are beat the better
they be-"
So runs the old saying, and a lot
of jerry-minded Jaspers are still be-
lieving it.
The gentle little custom of wife
beating is by no means obsolete, and
some cave men begin it ever before
the law and the church proclaim the
lady officially his.
Witness the young man arraigned
on a charge of assault and battery
made against him by a young woman
to whom he said he was engaged.
She appeared in court with a black
eye. Il love her, Judge" he said.
"She disobeyed me, and I spanked
her."
Just how a black eye results from
a spanking, administered in orthodox
fashion. is a trifle difficult to see. But
love seems to have found a way.
Some of these authorities on ETH
quette who have been writing so free
ly of late ought to look into the mat
ter. Or maybe the gentlemen who
regulate prize fights could do a bet
ter job.
If wife and fiance beatings are to
continue, why not establish a set OF
sportsmanlike rules?
Why not make it obligatory upon
husbands who contemplate beating
their wives to refrain from violence
until the wife has had a chance to
train to a given weight, OF has dew

the Home for Boys, speaking.
The chapter made a decided stand
against the Ku Klux Khan in extern
talks by the members who
took exception to the Klan assuming
the right to enforce the Constitution
members voiced the same senti-
ments.
Mrs. Mary Mcdonald. on behalf of

Perfect Babies

Mrs. A. W. P. writes:
I have been reading your arllcies
that are published daily, and will say
that they have helped me a great
deal. My boy is 13 months old ana
seems to be in perfect health. Sleeps
BU night and has two regular maps
a day. 1 wish your diet list for
babies for which I am enclosing self
addressed, stamped envelope. Also
will you publish standard weights
and measurements for a boy l year?
What are points required when ex-
aiming a perfect child?
Answer.
1t is so nice to hear of a perfect
child. A boy of 1 year should
weigh 21B pounds, and be 29ss
inches tall. He may vary a bit one
way or the other and still be consid-
erred perfectly normal. OF course If
he is taller he should weigh more,
and If he is shorter, less. Weight
and height are supposed to be in ac-
cord with each other, rather than in
accord with the child's age.
I am enclosing the leaflet to you
and trust it will be of much help.
In examining a child the doctors
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-10-23

take into account, measurements or
head, chest, abdomen, legs and arms,
the condition of the skin, the color OF
the skin, bright eyes, muscles, bony
development of the head and chest,
the teeth and jaws, ears, throat, the
way the child walks and stands on
it's feet, the backbone, the ankles and
wrists, the heart and lungs and its
mental development. In order to
know the exact points on each of
these you should write to your state
fair department and ask for the
charts they use at the time of the
fair in examining babies.
Here's hoping you turn out a prize
winner.
