THE CHICKENS AT THE CURB

They are not at all the kind of chickens you are expect
ing, gentle reader. Another species entirely.
If you happen To- drive a car, you will understand why [
call them chickens. They are the folk who stand uncertainty
on the curb, not having yet made up their minds as to what
they intend to do, when suddenly the traffic officer turns his
signal for you to "Gol'' and you hasten to go only to find all
the chickens have suddenly decided wildly to cross your path.
Presumably most of them can read. Presumably they know
the difference between &C., and fStop, " but when you are
ordered bv the majesty Of the law to Co. > you have to wait
for all these silly chickens to scurry across your bow.
You've seen the feathered kind do the same thing, haven't
your There they are, peacefully eating bugs and other deli
cacies at the right side of the road where they belong, and
when you steal quietly up to pass them, hoping not to startle
them, they all remember a pressing engagement they have
Immediately on the other side of the road. You have to put
on your brakes to avoid being responsible for slaughter.
But then you can hardly blame the chickens, since there are
no traffic officers or even traffic signs where they ~foregather.
It's these chickens at the curb that ought to be educated
up to the point at which they can read the traffic signs.
I have been meditatng upon the legal right a conscien-
tious motorist has about obeying the traffic signs. If he does
''go' when ordered, and a particularly giddy-headed chicken
dashes in front of him, is he going to be guilty of manslaugh-
ter? If he were only going to be arrested and incarcerated for
two or three weeks,-why it might be a wonderfully simple
way Of educating the chickens, and besides, | need a little
vacation.

The delicacy, fineness, suotlety
and charm which are SO much a
part of the work as well as the
person of Sir Anthony Van Dyck,
Flemish painter of the seventeenth
century, and pupil of Peter Paul
Rubens, were all inherited from his
mother. =
She was a fragile, tender sort OF
woman who lived a dream life
which she turned into something
tangible by making the most ex-
duisite of laces and embroideries'
She had a definite feeling for color
values and was inclined to put art
above everything else in life. When
her son began to show a tendency
in that direction she was overjoyed,
and did everything she could to Ell
courage and help him.
Although she had never had any
actual training along artistic lines,
she knew instinctively what was
right and wrong in drawing, and
was able to save him maxX a mis-
step in his early efforts at paintins.
He brought all his drawings to her,
and she would correct them, and get
tasks for him.
Anthony and his mother loved
each other with that depth whicn

YOUR BABY AND MINE
HOW TO Give the Baby His Food
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

How TO Give the Baby His Food
There is a right and wrong way
to everything, and feeding the baby
has a technique, also.
The baby who cannot be nursed
should not be put into his crib and
have a bottle balanced perilously
above him. He should be placed
on the mothers lap, held slightly
erect, and the bottle managed for
him. In this way there Is 10 dan
ger that he will get it too fast; that
the swift coming milk viii squirt in
his eye, or that he will be bothered
by horrid gas pains brought on by
too fast a meal.
During the operation the baby
should be tilted over the mothers
shoulder several times to raise the
offending gas. There is no n In
teaching the baby TO be a laggard
at his meal. but it should be a joy
full and comfortable occasion for
him, and the few minutes devoted to
it by the mother should Tot be be-
grudged.
The nursing mother should lie
down while she feeds the baby. II
gives her a few minutes rest period.
and can be made easier for the
baby. Place a pillow under the
baby's head and compress the breast
away from his small nos Stop
him frequently, so that he will not
be too greedy, and pat up the gas
| occasionally. Six or eight minutes
at each breast has been found to be
sufficient for the healthy child who

PRICES CONTINUE
 TO SEEK HIGHER GROUND ON CURB

NEW YORK, July 6,-selling pres sure subsided in today's curb mar ket and prices continued their rise to higher ground with the oils lead ing tho advance. Trading was un- usually dull at times but as this did not produce any change in specula- tive sentiment, the early gains were maintained.
 Standard Oils Of Indiana and New York, International, Vacuum and Mutual, which were the most active, all closed fractionally higher. Solar refining jumped 10 points on sale of 10 shares and number of inac- tive issues jumped a point or more.
 Activity In the industrial group was confined largely to Dubilier, Radio, Goodyear Tire and Radio cor poration, all of which made nominal gains. The motors held steady.
