a. Sun baths prevent and help TO
cure ricketts,. When a baby is three
| or four weeks old the sun baths may
begin. On the first day the baby's
| hands should be exposed 10 the direct
sun for a few minutes. Care must be
| taken not to burn the skin. A slight
| reddening Of the skin each day will
| gradually tan the baby. The first
| bath should be for 10 or Is minutes
only. Each day thereafter the ex-
posure to the sun should be increased
| from three TO five minutes until the
| baby lies directly in the sun one hour
| in the morning and one hour in the
| afternoon. Every few days the
amount of body surface exposed
should also be increased, at first slow
| ly but as the Spring days grow
warmer, more rapidly. Gradually the
| baby becomes accustomed to the sun
| bath and by the middle OF May or the
| first of June sun baths can be given

came close to victory. She had the
encouragement of the good will of her
two predecessors of her own sex in
the 1925 attack on the channel by

jazz-making musicians. She was
buoyed by the enthusiastic confidence
of the people of this country, whom
she represented in her venture. But,

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Pretty Soon.

Pretty Soon.
Pretty soon the silly season
Will give way to moods of reason,
And the flappers on the highways
won't parade.
They'll no more be lightly prancing
With no tunes to set them dancing
Where the crossing copper lends In
structive aid.
Pretty soon the merry, merry"
Of their charms will be more chary,
And no more upon the streets in Art
engage.
Chilly days will loom before us.
If you want to see the chorus,
You must view 'em on a comfort
able stage.

to the whole body. In the heat OF
July and August care must be taken
to give the sun baths in the early
morning before 10 o'clock or in the
afternoon after o'clock. The head
should be protected when the baby
is in the hot sun between 10 and 3
o'clock.
@. Who trains the Chinese chill
dren who are sent to America on the
fund created by the Boxer tndem
nity?-C. II. L.
A. The Using Hua College in
Peking, opened in 1911, is in charge
Of training students before they are
sent TO the United States under the
terms of the agreement for the re
, mission of the Boxer indemnity.
Q. How much water is there in fog
or can it be measured ?-B. A. r.
A. Scientists say the amount Of
water in given amount OF fog can
be reliably measured, and in one re
corded instance a dense fog off the
Grand Banks of Newfoundland was
found to contain 10000 droplets per
cubic inch. ITO gain some idea Of the
order Of magnitude of the quantities
involved in this dense fog" says the
report of the scientists who measured
1t, assume that one cannot see be
yond 100 feet. A block OF fog 3
feet wide. 9 feet high and 100 feet
| long contains less than one-seyenth
of a glass OF liquid water. This water
is distributed among 60.000,000,0Q0
drops"
Q. Where did tarring and feather
ing originate ?-H. B. L.
a. 1t is thought that Richard
Coeur de Lion invented it. When he
sailed for the Holy Land Richard
made sundry laws for the regulation
of his fleet. One of them was that
'robber who shall be convicted or
theft shall have his head cropped
after the manner Of a champion and
boiling pitch shall be poured thereon
and then the feathers of q cushion be
shaken out upon him. so that he may
be known, and at the first land a.
which the ship shall touch he shall
be set on shore.

FACTS In COAL CONTROVERSY
BY WILLIAM p. HELM, JR.

cite to supply the entire market, find
II to their advantage to allow dealers
handling high premium coal to de-
termine the retail price level for the
locality.
I'm this way the public is made
to pay higher prices for all anthra-
cite. and frequently competition
ceases to be an adequate regulator of
prices for coal either at the mine or
in the hands of wholesalers or specu-
lators.
The high prices paid by whole
salers to producers, f. o. b. mine,
were a highly disturbing factor in
the entire trade during the period of
panic demand just preceding and fol-
lowing the brief strike in Septem-
Der, 1928.
Operators Advanced Prices.
Although the supply was ample.
due to the panic demand which de-
veloped when the strike threatened
independent producers generally made
a sharp advance In their prices at
the mines. Reports from wholesalers
showed that prices of SIS or more
per ton were paid for about ~ per
cent of all the premium anthracite
reported for the week ending
August 4, 1923, and that during the
week ending September ]. 1923, the
reporting wholesalers paid in excess
of $13 per ton f. o. b. mine, for
nearly So per cent of the premium
anthracite purchased directly from
the producer.
Immediately following the strike
the reporting wholesalers paid in ex.
cess of $12 per ton for from 80 to
AZ per cent Of the premium anthra.
cite purchased direct from the pro.
ducer while as the pressure of the
demand decreased, due to the reali.
zation that the supply was adequate,
the proportion reported at the higher
, prices gradually decreased until by
the middle of January, 1924, no sales
were reported in excess Of $11 per
ton f. o. b. mine. This represented
a decrease of more than 81 per ton
In the highest prices reported"
Made Excessive Profits.
The cost of this $13 to SIS coal, as
indicated by reports to the Federal
Coal Commission was s5.6S per ton
at the mine, during the first three
months of 1923; The figures cover
reports from 66 companies which
mined 100000 tons during that pc
riod. or about IS per cent Of ali the
anthracite output. The s5.6s figure
OF course, is an average one; in a
number Of operations it was exceeded
and, on the other hand, the produc.
| ton cost was lower than $56S al
| other operations.
Taking 1t as an average. the show.
ing indicates that during the little
furry just before the eleven.day
strike of 1928, certain operators de
manded an apparent profit Of from
1882 to $9.32 per ton for their avail
able coal at the mines; that these
prices actually were paid for a small
percentage of the coal; and that the
wholesalers buying it passed it or
to the public after adding another
profit for themselves.
All of which, according to the Gov
ernment's report. occurred at a. time
when supplies were ample. 1t is OF
interest to know that indicated sup
plies this year are more than twice
| as large as they were in 1923.
