YOUR BABY AND MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDKED

Mrs. z. w. NJ.
My baby weighed eight and one
half at birth, at five months
weighed twenty pounds and now
at FIVE and one-half still weighs
the same. She has never failed
to gain before and 1 am worried.
Does she need additional food? /
nurse her every three hours and
give her orange juice once a day
and water once a day.
How much orange juice can she
have? l now give her the juice OF
half an orange. She seems salts
fled, but l ann worried because she
stopped gaining.
My little four-year-old likes milk
so we'll that if l will give her all
she wants of that she won't eat any
thing else. How much should she
have a day of milk?
Answer
Don't worry about the gaining,
at least for another week or so. BY
that time the baby will likely show
an increase. 1t may be due to any
number of causes but as long as
the baby does not act dissatisfied
there is no cause for alarm. She
does not need additional food UNI
less the nongain continues Tor
much longer. Then she should
have some diluted cows milk eth

IL you prefer to use soap, nothing
is better than to melt a cake of white

water. Wet the, hair first with warm
water, then with a couple of table,

thoroughly into the scalp. Gather

quentiy. For exaggerated cases of
dandruff or hair ailments it is best
TO consult a specialist who will pre-
scribe a remedy for your particular
case. Sun baths are excellent. 1t is
also advisable to let long hair hang

that it may have air and freedom.
Dyeing or bleaching the hair
seems to me most unwise and I al
ways advise patrons against such
remedies.

The condition. of the hair is large
ly a matter of physical health, but
nowhere is neglect more evident.
Neglected hair is never beautiful,
while sometimes scanty heads of hair
pass for beautiful and luxuriant ones
just because the possessors give them
care.
Beautiful hair is clean hair. There
is considerable diversity of opinion
among hair specialists regarding the
frequency with which the shampoo
should occur.
Some maintain that every two or
three weeks is none too often. while
others declare that once in two or
three months is frequent enough.
Naturally the hair should be wash
ed often enough to keep it clean, but
brushing it thoroughly each night
and using a tonic which is rubbed
carefully into the scalp often keep
it clean without occasioning a sham
poo oftener than every month or six
weeks.
If you have a tendency to bald
ness or a decided loss of hair, sham
pooling should occur only when
cleanliness absolutely requires it, for
you are depriving 1t of the natural
oil when o wash it.
An excellent shampoo is made by
beating an egg into an ounce of

BROADCASTS
By LoRA KELLY

Must all our cherished illusions be
destroyed?
We have survived the painful
knowledge that George Washington
never hacked the cherry tree. We
have been grieved to learn that
Booth did not say "Sic Semper Tyr
annis' when he shot Lincoln, and
that Barbara Frietchie never made
the celebrated remark abort sparing
her country's flag.
1t cost us a pang to fart with all
of these childhood friends. The
pleasant myths that surround heroes
lent a picturesque touch TO the bald
facts of the history lesson.
Now we learn that still other gods
must topple. Over Ia England the
educators are taking exceptions &c
the song about the three blind mice
You recall the trio that 'all tool
after the farmsts wife, and she Gu
of their tails w.Eh a carving knife
The idea of cruelty and vengeance
conveyed therein is not now consld-
cred d suitable one to convey to chill
dren. So the mouse episode has
been amended to read that the far
mer's wife, being a humane person,
'cut them some cheese with a carv-
ing knife"
A Southern Board of Education
some years ago took exception to
Mother Goose. She offended deli
cate sensibilities, it seems, in as
serting that ''Taffy was a thief"
Taffy's action in purloining a piece
Of beef was a matter for court rec
ords, not an inspiration for the muse.
Mother Goose should have known
better.
Eastern educators have rewritten
the ditty about the old lady who,
with her numerous family lived in a
shoe. 1t ends, as you doubtless re-
member, with a spectacular finale,
she spanked them all soundly and
sent them to bed" This was chang
ed to read, she kissed them all
fondly and sent them to bed"
Thus the prophecies are observed.
modern theories of embarrassing are
upheld and Mother Goose's standing
as an author is still unimpaired.
Even out If the mouths of babes
do we demand happy endings."

Senator Harrison Tells Radio
Audience Problem Is
a. Non-Partisan.

Americanism and the immigration
problem were the topics of an address
by Senator Pat Harrison of Missis-
sippi. broadcast over the radio here
last night. Senator Harrison insisted
: the immigration problem should be
dealt with in a non-partisan way, and
In the best interests of the entire
country.
Every proposal" said Senator Har-
rison, looking to betterment of con-
ditions--whether II be registration
and rigid surveillance over the 7.000,-
4 600 aliens who, tonight, roam the
streets of American cities or Tcrk In
American factories without ", signi-
flying their intention of becoming
American citizens; whether it be a
more enlarged or advanced scheme of
educating those aliens who have taxi
en- out naturalization papers, or
whether a more rigid restrictive i'm
migration law-invites cooperative
1 efforts and united action.
Question Not Settled.
When the literacy or educational
test was applied in 1917 we took a
IN 1921 we adopted the 8 per cent
quota law, we thereby prevented mil
lions of undesirable immigrants from
coming to our shores. But the law is
not perfect and the immigration
question is far from being settled.
There was a time when immigration
vas regarded solely as an economic
problem, but the great world war re-
Nealed certain circumstances that
caused the racial qualities of the I'M
migrants to overshadow the economic
phases Of the question.
II had the power / would write
a law that none but English schools
be maintained and no newspaper pc
rlodlcai or magazine be published in
the United States unless ii be printed
In the English language. Immigrants
who cleave TO the mother country and
care so little about our own as to
take no steps to learn the English
language and have no appreciation
of the ideals of the American people
are undesirable.
undesirable immigration is meI-
Aace to American institutions. 1t pol
1utes our blood, threatens our sta
bility and challenges our existence.
II Is dangerous just to the extent 1t
exists.
Strengthened Law Needed.
What the United States needs is
not a modification of our present i'm
migration laws, but strengthening
of them. We should see 10 it first
that every alien in the United States
tain time to signify his intention to
become an American citizen he should
be deported. The present basis upon
which our quota is based should be
changed from 1910 TO 1890, which
would not only effect a reduction in
the number of immigrants allowed to
come annually from S50.803 to 241. 3O6,
but would permit larger number of
eslrabies and fewer number of un-
desira bleS to enter the United States.
THE present manner of selection is
not only antiquated, but inefficient
} And unwise. Within the quota only
those whose record reveals them TO
have been good citizens and whose
views are consonant with the prin-
cipleS upon which our government is
founded should be permitted to come. :"
