YOUR BABY AND MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
General Progress.

There is always a most comfort
ing feeling, when despite little all
ments and worries, one can look at
the baby's weight week by week and
assure ones self that he is doing all
right. He is gaining.
A the bath time once a week the
baby should be weighed. This isn't
new tangled notion but a precau-
tionary measure. One has only to
look at the scales and no matter
how blue the milk, or how scanty
the seeming supply, one can see by
those added ounces that the baby is
getting enough to eat
The baby makes it's biggest gain
during the first few months. After
the eleventh day, at which time the
baby will usually weigh what it did
at birth, there should be a steady
gain. This gain is about from four
to six ounces a week for the first six
months and two to four ounces
thereafter. That is by five months
the baby will have doubled his birth
weight and by a year he will have
trebled it.
A ehild's weight and height
should be in accord. If he is a
small boned baby he will not weigh
at a certain age as much as some
other baby of large frame, but he
will weigh the right amount for this
height. Here are the approximate
weights and heights of boys. Girls
Will be slightly less. Cut this out

When the Males Gossip
An interesting woman
Denies everything,

lellS nothing.
And even if she has had four hus-
bands and is past fifty poses as Miss
Innocence.
That's the definition concocted by
a male humorist who is afraid to say
it in print with his name over it or
under it, He's married.
According to this gospel the wo-
man who knows how to keep quiet
in seven languages is presumably
popular with the men.
But did you ever notice that when
a man is determined to find out Il
piece of gossip, he'll move heaven
and earth to gain his ends? And
where there is a chorus or a solo
beginning "Well, you know they say
that he-"afloat, we never knew any
man yet to pick up his hat and go.
No stree. If a woman tells
everything" and tells it with a dash
of paprika, she's got interested lis
teners to the end of the chapter.
And it won't do her a bit of good
to deny everything" They'll never
believe her.
AS for the siren past fifty who
we've seen her! All by her lone
ly.
All the men in the immediate vi
cinity were clustered about a blase
wording of seventeen, each trying
to see who could light her cigarette
the quickest.

All Want Roads

Every man. woman, and child in the
United States has personal interest
in good roads.
The farmer and the motorist have
the most immediate and practical in
terest. but the interest of others is no
less vital that II expresses an indirect
relation.
The farmer wants good roads be-
cause he can make more money with
good roads than with poor roads. If
the farmer can make more money, he
spends more, which means greater
prosperity for the whole Nation. And
if he can do with less money, good
roads enable him to sell his products
for less and still make as much as at
present; that means lower prices for
food.
Everyone who lives in rural or
suburban location is interested in good
roads. because they decrease the time
distance which separates the rural or
suburban home from the city. Every
rural or suburban dweller needs to get
to the city sometime; the less the time
distance the less il costs.
Every one who lives in city wants
at times to get into the country. The
good road is the means If there are
no good roads, there is sharp line
drawn between city and country.
which makes for the good of neither.
The more good roads the more
travel. The more travel, the more
understanding of people by their
neighbors, and the less possible is mis-
understanding, strife, rivalry, or po-
litical dscord
Roads are part of the foundation
of Americansn. Let us all work to
make that foundation broad and long
and lasting.

MANY CARS ON FARM.

Lydia Harvey Michener of FL Monte
Cal. writing in the California Farmer
finds many uses for the motor car in
rural sections. Among the points she
brings out are:
1t saves the time Of farmer and
hired men In going t. distant fields.
1t hauls small loads of produce.
1t tows various kinds of farm ma
chinery from field to field.
1t 10 a hasty courier to town for
repair parts when farm machinery
breaks down.
1t sometimes serves as a spare bed
room.
1t hauls a trailer to market
II helps church attendance.
1t enables the family to enjoy an
economical and delightful vacation.
1t has an educational value.
1t permits the organization of rural
study and social clubs.
1t gives a way of entertaining ones
friends.
1t frees the farm woman from the
isolation she formerly had TO endure.
