YOUR BABY AND MINE
Pre-SdhonI Age Care
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

We have for many years given
the most careful attention to the
ARE and feeding OF the infant.
We have given some attention to
the school g child, but for these
and school age we have given lit
tie or no thought unless the child
Is actually sick.
When we come to an examination
of the school child we find that he
is the victim of many physical DIS
abilities that might have been cured
or helped If they had been taken
in their beginning.
There IS little excuse for bow
legs, knock knees or pigeon breast

which should have been cured be-
fore the bones. softened by i'm
proper diet, solidihed into a per-
manent deformity.
There should be no excuse for
decayed and impacted steeth be-
cause such teeth should have been
looked after as soon as the con-
dition became apparent, and not
after It had had time to show the
effects.
Tonsils which have become dis

removed. They do the child no
good, because they are continually
pouring poison into the system.

"PETTICOAT POLITICS"
Rv MARIAN HALE

NEW YORK-Petticoat politics Is
making the United States govern
ment paternalistic. Women must
shed their sex consciousness and
vote. not as women, but as sober
minded citizens IL they are to pre-
vent their country from emulating
the dictatorialism of foreign lands.
This is the challenge of Miss Sarah
Butler, daughter of Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of Columbia Uni
versity, and chairman of the
women's executive committee OF the
Republican State Committee, just
back from a tour ofyEurope.
At twenty-eight Miss Butler prob
ably is Americas youngest woman
political executive, but she would
disclaim the title, maintaining that
she is working, not as a woman, but
as a citizen. She would have other
women do the same.
Must be Representative
'If women persist in thinking.
talking and voting primarily as
women" she says, they will bring
upon themselves the same charge
which a few years ago they were
leveline at men: that of creating a
one-sided government. Government
must represent all classes. A
woman's party is fundamentally
wrong.
"But there is a graver danger.
Women's present habit is to throw
themselves ~unreservedly behind any
measure they particularly espouse,
without caring how their end is
achieved. The result has been to
delegate greater and greater powers
to the federal government. This hap
pened when the Sheppard-Towner
maternity bill was passed. 1t MAJ
happen again in the case Of the ma
tional education bills"
Balance OF Power
While refusing to say whether she
believes in paternalism, Miss Butler
does insist 1t Is contrary to the wish
Of the constitutions trainers.
"They desired a nice balancing OF
federal against state government.
she says, "and the feminine vote fire.

What They Talk About

babies, and how much rent to pay"
He chewed his cigar and looked
around for the applause he expected
to greet his bright saying.
Trivial subjects, are they? Food,
clothing, shelter and the perpetua-
ton of the race; rather fundamental
matters in the lives of human beings,
1t seems to us. AS such they are
certainly worthy of discussion by
those most directly concerned in
them.
But we let that pass. We wanted
to listen in on some really intelligent
conversation-something that didn't
have anything to do with fashions. or
angel cake, or Tommy's measles, or
the landlord.
And this is what we heard: "rll

a pretty pass when a respectable
man can't take a drink of good ole
beer without sneaking behind locked
doors to do it. I never thought I'd

would be infested by poison hooch
hounds, SO a respectable man can't
be certain of anything he drinks.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS MEN

Although she died when he was
only three years old, the mother of
Robert IngersolI. famous American

Heritage OF ideas that influenced his
entire life and made him one of the
most admired, as well as one of the
most reviled, men in this country.
Married to a minister of the mar

she believed in a God of love and

love and affection that she was not
able or permitted to bestow upon
her husband. and from his earliest
days she tried to teach the boy by
her every act, the kindness and love
of God. This, plus the qualities of
mind which he had inherited from
her at birth, served to start him on
the path she intended for him, al
though she was not able to continue
the work. She died when his little
sister was born. Robert Ingersoll
was only three years old at the time
OF his mothers death. but he seemed
to sense the great loss that was his,
and for months he was inconsolable.
When he grew older he found
some notes tlsat his mother had
made regardirsg her belief. These
affected him profoundly, and he al
