 WHEN BABY CRIES, URGES OSTEOPATH
Expert Says Care Needed In Examining Ills Of
 Children

NEW YORK;; July Tt is crim- inally foolish to tell child don't cry" until one has assured ones self the child has nothing to cry about. pr. Edward L. Hart of Brooklyn, de- clared in an address before delegates to the twenty annual con vention of the American Osteopathic Society today. Many children, he as- serted, had become cripples through fear of crying.
 'The protection which nature gives children in saving them from pain by causing their little bodies quickly to accomm odate themselves to new and even abnormal conditions is often a source of danger to the child" he said. Frequently 8 child will suf- Ter serious twists and deviations of the bodily mechanism and the pain may be so slight that it will at tract no attention at the time.
 "A twist of the knee joint. for in stance, may not cause enough pain for the child to demand attention and yet the trouble may result in bone tumor later on, An apparently slight deviation of single bone in the spinal column may, if not corrected, lead to curvature of the spine.
 Children should be watched for the slightest manifestation of physl4 cal uneasiness. Without being train ed into cry-babies or sisses they should be made to understand the ra . tional need for taking care of even small defects In the body mechan- ism"

 Kline discarded his cigar. Again that raucous cackle sounded in his throat The curled lips against stained teeth. the flaming eyes. the leaping breath; all bespoke of the lust within him. His body became tense. He half rose, leaning for ward. The judge watched him. His ward. The judge watched him, his great chest rising and fall ing slowly, his lips tight. his eyes steady.

 "Wh--where de hell did you come from?" exclaimed Kline.
 "Why, from the precinct, and that's where you're going"
 Judge Bloodgood had risen.
 "Yes, Blake, the boys will be de- lighted to see him. I was just be- ginning to fear that I had not raised it far enough or that the operator had neglected me-"
 Kline stared from one to the other in amazement.
 "It-de operator?" he cried.

PL|C|TY MARKS BALDW|N'S VISIT ID ENGLISH KING
New English Premier And Wife Are Calm Upon
 Great Day

LONDON, July 7.-(By Associated Press.)-Mrs Stanley Baldwin, wife of Britain's new prime minister, was as calm and collected as her hus- band the day he was called from the serenity of the cool English coun- | t1yside to the heat of a boiling po- litical cauldron and, in a half hour consultation with the sovereign, ele- vated to the summit of politics. And yet she and her children and her hus- band all acted in those important hours just as one who hasn't forced usually acts in times of such excite ment, such personal thrill, such emo tional happiness.
 The King had hurried into town from the military manoeuvres at AL dershot to name a new prime minis ter. and the Baldwins, like the com peting Curzons, had also come up from the country about the same hour.
 Changes Into Court Clothes. From his outing garb the man who went to America not long ago to set tie the debt changed into the long baggy trousers, the silk faced over coat and the top hat of diplomacy. From Number II Downing street, his official home that day as chancellor of the exchequer, he and Mrs. Bald win walked outside to an ordinary taXicab stand, summoned one of the machines, and set off for Bucking ham Palace in answer to the import ant summons from the King. On the way Mrs. Baldwin got out, and her husband went alone to the door of the palace. His own private car did not come for him until later, but his use of an ordinary taxicab caused no surprise, for on several occasions he has gone afoot to see his sovereign. Smiles After Conference.
 Mrs. Baldwin, one of her daughters and a law, were outside the palace gates, unnoticed in the wait ing crowd of hundreds during the time that the chancellor of the ex- chequer was being transformed into a prime minister. The husband came taway smiling, stopped his car, and picked up his family He smiled cas- fly as he posed for the camera men.
 Arrived once more at home, the prime minister and Mrs. Baldwin ex- pressed their high happiness in what had transpired to change their lives. But they were both rather conscious already of the burden that had been placed upon them.
 O O o
 Asks For Prayers.
 q want your prayers rather than your congratulations" MT. Baldwin said to those who stopped him at his door to find out if he had really been made prime minister. A few minutes later Mrs. Baldwin, in speaking to in- terviewers with the same ease and directness that her husband has, re- marked that she thought 1t was "all too wonderful"
 Then she mixed a touch of regret with her happiness, a regret that she and her husband had never really | been able to do what they wanted to do, had never in the whole of their married life been able to Tive their own liVes."
