DOES YOUR CHILD
GET ENOUGH SLEEP?
Health Department Stresses
Need OF Plenty Sleep For
Growing Children

At the beginning of the school year,
one Of the most important habits -
says a bulletin from the Bureau of
Child Hygiene of the State Depart
ment Of Health, sis that of an early
bedtime with plenty of sleep for
growing children. People who are
thoughtful in every other way about
the health Of their children are care
lessly indulgent when it comes to the
question of sleep. Parents in one Of
the large cities in the West have set
an example to fathers and mothers
elsewhere by signing new sort of
pledge-one in which they promise to
do all within their power to see that
their growing children get the requis-
tie hours of sleep that are necessary
for healthy development.
The pledge is issued in connection
with the work Of one of the Parent
Teacher Associations and it's object
is to raise the standards of health and
school efficiency in the city. The ac-
ton was based on the realization,
first, that there can be no real and
permanent health without sufficient
sleep, and second, that the response
bjlity for getting the necessary rest
for the children, falls upon the par
ent. They therefore resolve and
agree to make every reasonable ef-
fort to have their children, under IL
years old, in bed not later than $50,
and those from IL to Is, in bed not
later than 9 o'clock for five nights of
the week during the school year.
"In connection with this plan it is
interesting to note that the minimum
sleep requirements agreed upon by
medical authorities for children of
various ages, are as follows:-
Under years-12 hours every
night.
From to I'll to IL hours.
From to lilo to II hours.
From IL to 1910 hours.
"There should always be plenty of
fresh air in the room and if possible
the child should sleep alone"

Babies on a Train

PABIES nearly always cry
- On q train;
And I also think that

On a dusty day and hot,
On railroad jiggled me
Where / didn't want to be,
When I didn't want to roam,
Wanted just to stay at home.
Babies nearly always yell
Loud and long;
And I think I'd shout as well.
Good and strong,
II my mother took me out,
Tugged and turnbled me about,
Shook me up and shook me down,
Hustled me from town to town,
When I wanted most to stay
Right at home on such a day.
Babies always cry before
The journeys through.
Babies always raise roar
So would you.
Seems to me that all along

Through the Glad

By Jane Doe
WHEN YOU MARRY A MAN
By Jane Doe

TT WOULD be foolish, o Miss, to let
= the idea take. root under your hair
that he who stood you the best Of
theater tickets, the slickest of taxis.
the choicest Of flowers, the most melt
ing Of chocolates, doesn't know that
100 cents make one dollar, and won't
expect you to.
Observe that even as a lover he
found much to stare at in the menu.
It's all very well to find out a mans
favOrite dishes; try some Of your
own sometimes for change. It is
wonderful love that can stand
apple pie and custard Sunday after
Sunday.
Don't worry too much over the fact
that there are hundreds and hundreds
of super-attractive damsels in the city
where he does his work, for no doubt
It equally concerns him that there are
many super-attractive men where you
have your home.
Taunt not your husband by alIudIng
to his ignorance Of domestic matters.
u men conducted their business on the
lines Of some households. America
would be back number amongst com.
mercial nations.
Remember there are many ways Of
killing love. Some wives do 1t by
strangulation, some by malnutrition.
and some by suffocation. Love needs
plenty Of nourishment; it rarely
thrives on rations.
You'll know what it is to have him
present you with a button-missing
waistcoat while you are engaged in
bathing your infant, It will save a
lot Of snappiness on both parts If you
never sew on tomorrow the button you
sew on today.
When your husband comes In at
the door, do not let q sweetheart fly
out Of the window.
It is well to take heed that wives
are not the only ones that lament the
passing Of the sweetheart stage. A
kiss, an uns0ught-for caress, and
tender word Of appreciation now and
again are not lost on any husband.

Is bobbed hair doomed?

Beauty specialists, theatrical man
ayers and style authorities in New
York agree that the postwar cpl
demic of shorn tresses has reached its
peak, and women who seek to dress
differently" are turning to "trsnsfor-
nations" the Parisienne bandeau and
other means of Disgusting their snip
ped locks, according to late reports
from the east.
Newspaper women, in attendance at
the Long Island social activities in
honor of the Prince of Wales, were
impressed with the spreading habit
of letting their hair grow long again.
Society women, they found, are pen
sioning the BARRIERS shears, because
.severy shop girl now has boyish
single, my DEAR"
Bobbed Hair Too Expensive
81 cut my hair three years ago"
!, said young business woman in a
down town office yesterday. Il
thought I'd save a dreadful lot of
time. But, gracious, my King Tut
means coolies of bother and hair-dres-
sing expenses-far more than my old
couture COST "And bobbing does
destroy girls personality" chimed
in her companion. "You look like
every other girl, at dances, the the
alter, parties. We all look like orphan
asylum inmates. No individuality.
Yes, I'm letting mine grow again."
Anyway
You may be as beautiful as Helen
Of Troy or as shapely as Venus-but
you'll probably never win a national
beauty contest if you have bobbed
hair!
To Judge from the recent happen
ings at Atlantic City, where the fair
est of the fair from more than ninety
American cities assembled to COM
pete for the honor Of being named
"Miss America" the girls with the
single or boyish bob didn't have a
chance.
True! There were a number of
girls at the contest whose locks were
attractively clipped-but they disap-
peared in the first elimination. and
were never heard of again.
Beauties Are Curl Adorned
On the other hand, Miss Ruth NAL
comson, whose dark, luxurious curls
fall far over her shapely shoulders,
was chosen Beach Queen of America.

4. WASHINGTON Aug. rs. - Dismis'
sal of John M. Burns from the legal
enforcement staff Of the Stockyards
and Packers division by Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace, just after Con-
gress adjourned, is denounced as
zone Of the most underhanded and
sneaking cases of oficial terrorism in
our country's history" by Bepj. G.
Marsh of the Farmers National Coun-
Gil. Marsh has written President
Coolidge a letter, asking him to inves-
tigate.
Secretary Wallace, according to the
record, notified Burns that the latter
was dismissed because the staff must
pbe reduced--a few, days after Burns
had testified before committee OF
the House that Wallace had. failed to
enforce certain sections of the law.
Wallace did not attempt to refute the
testimony-he punished the witness.
Then, to make the case complete, he
employed another lawyer from out
side, in Burns stead, after letting out
the faithful servant of the public on
pretext that the STAFF was too large.
Marsh reminds Coolidge that the
G. o. P. national committee has failed
to comply with the Senate's request
for information as to how much the
meatpackers have paid itno their
fund since 1920.

MEXICAN TEXTILE
Mill A DISGRACE
TO The WORKERS
Average Wage of Slave
a Dollar a Day
(sy Federated Press

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 26-The enor-
nous textile mill Of Rio Blanca in the
state Of veracruz is a disgrace to the
Mexican people. For many genera
tions the workers Of Rio Blanca have
kept the thousands of workers in a
state worse than slavery. They house
them In most miserable huts. They
give their children no schooling what
ever, and as soon as youngsters are
old enuf to exercise muscular control
they put them to work. Three gene,
rations may be seen working at the
same time, at the same task.
Booze Back Wages.
The entire area of Rio Blanca is
covered with beer saloons (cantinas)
owned by the company, which are
never closed. At the end of the week
the little money that the worker earns
he spends in the saloon, so that it
goes back to his employer. The
worker is always in debt to the com
pany, and he is kept in misery and
degradation. Incest and idiocy is very
common amongst these workers.
The average wage for a textile
worker with large family is about
a dollar day. In some sections of
the country he works for as low as
As cents day. And there are about
$4,000 men, women and children EN-.
ployed in Mexican textiles. OF these
1926 receive less than rs cents a
day; 5,30S receive less than 81. day;
1888 receive less than a $125 a day;
2,220 receive up to $1.75 per day; and
only 1876 over SITS. This means
that 80 per cent of the textile workers
receive less than s1.25 day.

POINT OUT MOVE
OF MANU- ACTURE
TO MIDDLE WEST
East Slowly Losing to
Mississippi Valley

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Manufactur-
ing activity and with 1t industrial en-
ployment has for years been steadily
shifting from the Atlantic coast TO the
dississippi valley which produces most
of the raw materials required by them
and most of the coal necessary to carry
out the process, according to an
analysis of census data by the National
City bank.
West Increasing Its Shares
while the Atlantic coast as a whole
still produces a little more than half
of the manufacturers of the entire
country" says the banks survey, the
share produced in the Mississippi
valley has grow from 10 pct. in 1850
to 3S pct in 1900 and Al pct. in 1921
The percentage of the total outturn
produced by the three geographical
divisions designated as New England,
fiddle Atlantic and South Atlantic has
declined from 70 pet. in 1850 to 81 pct.
in 1900 and 81 pct. in 1921. The other
section, the Pacific and Mountain
states, has increased its share from
less than pct. in 1850 to AZ pct. in
1900 and pct. in 1921"
The survey calls attention to the fact
that all sections have shown a big
actual gain in the so years, total ma
inufactures as a whole having increased
from $1,000, 100000 to $4,000. 900. 900.
Basis of Pittsburgh Plus
Such movements as that for the abo-
lition of the Pittsburgh Plus basis Of
steel prices, for the development of the
st. Lawrence waterway, and for the
development of Chicago as the indus
trial center of the country must be
seen against the background Of this
development which the bank survey
emphasizes.

purpose behind the maneuVer-
ings of the Wisconsin republi-
can and his aggregation OF
political highbinders and labor
takers.
Outlines Takers Plan.
Consider the following facts and
extenuating circumstances with re-
gard to this situation:
1. AS far back as last February
certain Bryan henchmen in Nebraska
stated positively (tho not for publ
cation) that Brother Charley would
be on the national ticket Of the Demo
cratic party.
2. These same political boot-blacks
urged the Nebraska Progressive Par
ty leaders (who were supporting the
St Paul. convention) to refrain from
putting up a candidate against Bryan
for governor. They argued that Bry'
an wanted the third party nomina
ton" with which to bolster up his bid
for a place on the national Democrat
ic ticket, and. that the progressiyes in
Nebraska. "could then pick their own
man for the next governor of the
state" .s
8. The LaFollette leaders have re
jected categorically all ''entangling al
liances" with regard to state and 10
cal tickets. Altho no intelligent stu
dent of political trends comedies La
Toilette even chance to be elected
yet these politicians are insisting ev
erywhere that every effort be direct
ed toward the sole purpose Of "elect
ing LaFollette and Wheeler"
The Real Facts.
The real facts with regard to this
LaFollette-Bryan swindle, in the opin
ion Of close observers, are:
1. LaFollette knows that he has nc
chance of being elected.
2. Bryan cares nothing about be
ing elected to the "second-hddle'
place on the Demo ticket.
Bryan is a politician Of whom il
has been said that "he would declare
himself a Communist if he saw {
chance to make votes" LaFollette, il
his way, is equally unscrupulous, but
Charley Bryan is one of those Mair
Street politicians who forget even dig
nifty and appearances" in his des
perate chase for Office. At the New
York convention Of the Wall Street
Donkey party, Bryan stood at the
door and electioneered for himself
like common ward-heeler, while his
brother, William Jennings, pretended
to hurI fireworks in the direction Of
John w. Davis. er -
But any one who understands the
character Of Charley Bryan, knows
that he will not put up such des
perate fight, with his plans obviously
laid months ahead for the vice-presi
Dental nomination. For president,
yes, but not for vice-president.
