Father Is Taken Behind Scenes
In Modern Scientific Care of Baby

babies, and that they never take up
Group, make interesting collections OF
measles, or go in for cultivating ad-
enoids.
Although Mr.. Downey doesn't
call special attention to the con-
trast, the fact remains that being
father is a much more difficult job
now than ii was even so years ago.
In the earlier days of the Republic, no
father was expected to demean him
self by learning the geography of
safety-pin distribution or by acting as
caboose TO a baby carriage. In the
presence of the head of the family,
children were expected TO maintain a
low visibility. He generally saw them
only when they were eXcruciatingly
startched and redolent of homemade
soap. The father of the past had no
knowledge whatever of a baby's gen
eral mechanics, and he was exceed
inGly uncurious as 10 what his wife
did when she got up in the night.
The modern father, however. finds
himself taken behind the scenes from
the very first. Hes your child as
much as he is mine" has become the
slogan of the modern mother, and she
has put it into practical effect so sue
cessfully that fathers daily dozen"
He can mix a pasteurized milk cock
tail in less time than he used to take
with a Bronx, and he can test bath
water with his elbow as eXpertly as
Mr.. Fahrenheit could with a thermo-
meter. He becomes wonderfully adept
in bending from the waist as he
reaches for the rubber kewpie dolls,
celluioid balls and homebound grocer
les that the baby insists on fiingins
out of the carriage. He soon grows
familiar with all of the baby's crying
needs: and he laughs holloway on his
way downtown at those experimenting
college students who thought they
achieved something by staying awake
for 20 hours at Il stretch.
Another reason why fatherhood
is a more difficult job today than
il has ever been in the past can be
found in the latest dietary and ply
Geological theories. In the old days
Il baby graduated from milk TO pork
chops in less time than 1t would take
a cat to surround q canary. AS soon
as child lost interest in a liquid diet
it was admitted without examination
to the family dinner table. Formerly
a baby was made over 10 suit the
family menu; today. in this age of
vitamines and measured calories, the
family menu is cut down to fit the
baby. There isn't time to prepare two
different dinners, so the modern
father often finds himself after a
hard days work feasting on rusks,
orange juice, scraped apple, coddled
egg. and soft-boiled carrots.
Thus the new status of fatherhood
is sadly in need of any such counsel
and comfort as Fairfax Downey may
bestow. There isn't even any dignity
about the condition any more. No
body seems to respect father nova
days, either during the first two
years or the first 20. The day is past
when he sat majestically at the head
of the table, commanded silence with
a flourish of the carving knife and
rolled out a sonorous grace over the
| bowed heads Of his awed and silent
children. But although father has

After all the bids are in, the promis-
sorry father must next select an ap-

items that he should consider, the
principal one being the general con-
dition of the Railways. Are they

against trespassing? Is anybody who
smokes on the premises liable to auto
da fe or execution by the Chinese sys-
tenn of a thousand cuts? Are the
nurses fairly human in their behavior
to suffering fathers, or have they

their uniforms? II the latter be true,

H|DALG0 CHIEF
RECA|NS HIS !.
HEALTH
Colonel Matias Rodriguez
En- Route to Mexico
to Assume Duties.

Happy and smiling because his
health has returned to him, Colonel
Natias Rodriguez, governor of the
State Of Hidalgo, Mexico, arrived in
San Antonio Thursday night en- route
to Pachuca, the capital of his native
state. He came from Rochester,
Mimi, after two months seclusion at
hospital where he was cured of an
illness from which he had been suf-
fering for several years.
Colonel Rodriguez was elected gov
ernor Of Hidalgo in April of this year
and triumphed over his opponent by
an overwhelming majority of $1,000
votes. He was the candidate Of the
people.
In an exclusive interview conceded
TO q representative. of The San An
tonic Light, Governor Rodriguez de-
clared that when he took charge of
the govcrnorship, the State of
HidalgO was almost in bankruptcy.
The salaries of government employees
were past due several months and
there was shortage in the treasury
Of about 100000 pesos. The mining
situation was very poor.
BETTER STATE FINANCES.
However. in the few months he has
been Mt the head of the government
be has succeeded in Strengthening out
the finances of his state. The sal
aries Of oil the employees are paid
regularly and there are assets in the
treasury of the state for more than
10000 pesos.
The mines OF the state are now
Furnishing, he said. and there are
no strikes or labor disturbances.
Governor Rodriguez is the author
of many projects and works for the
benefit Of the people.
Twenty-Five kilometers Of motor
road between Tulancingo and Pachuca
have just been completed under his
administration. With this new road
travellers from one city to the other
can 20 in one and one-half hours.
while by railroad it takes five and
one-half hours to travel between the
two cities. A new market building
has also been completed at Pachuca.
CAPTURED BY FEDERALS.
His political career is full Of the
most picturesque details. Born and
reared in the State Of Hidalgo. he
took arms against President Diaz
when he was very young. With very
few men following him he fought for
several months in the Sierras of
Hidalgo against the old regime, until
ne was captured and brought to the
City of Mexico by the federal troops.
There he spent two years in the fed
cral penitentiary until he was released
with the signing of the treaties be-
tween Madero and Diaz at Juarez.
Later when Madero was slain he
fought against Huerta and in 1917
he was nominated by his native state
representative TO the Mexican Con-
gross ut Queretaro. .-.,-
