The Other Authority

The first perplexIty may come
when the young mother comes
across another book on diet for chill
dren written by another child doctor
of high standing. The list Of vege-
tables for one-year- olds and two
year-olds is quite different. In fact
the book differs SO much that the
young mother feels open rebellion.
Yet she knows that this man is a
great specialist.
Quite cautiously to begin with she
tries some of the precepts in this
second book. Then she lets her two
year-old child eat boiled onions, Just
few to begin with. The first au-
thority had not included onions In a
list of suitable vegetables for two
year olds. But the two-year-oldl likes
them and the onions seemingly like
him. Then she tries other expert
ments. She gives a three-year- old
child raw apple. though the first au-
thority had definitely forbidden raw
apple to young children. Again
nothing happens.
And so it goes. It Is a little dis
concerning. By this time she has

n kANY women do their first
N really serious thinking about
food when the time comes to
plan the diet of their own children.
They begin, perhaps, by acquiring a
volume dealing with foods for chill
dren written by someone of the pedi-
artists. The whole matter seems
quite simple. We know just which
vegetables are good for a child
under one year, which may be added
during the second year. just how
many tablespoons Of cereal a child
should eat and exactly how many
ounces of milk he should have for
every period Of his development.
Under this system the young
mother finds that her child thrives.
and Is perhaps haler than other chill
dren whose mothers do not follow
out the same system-or probably do
not follow out any system at all.
And so for a few months or years it
seems to this young mother as IL
the matter of diet IS a simple one,
just a case of going to the proper
authority and following instructions
with soldierly precision.

DISCOVER Communism
Is Taught in Schools

Investigation is being made of a
report that schools for training COM
munistic workers and missionaries are
being conducted in this country, ac-
cording to announcement made recent
ly by Frank Clay Cross, national di-
rector of the Americanism commits
sion of. the American Legion. Such
schools have been conducted at sew
eral localities over the country dur
ing the present summer, reports laid
before the Legion commission indicate.
A special subcommittee was ap-
pointed to carry on the investigation
for the commission. Its members are !:
Frank Sieh, Aberdeen, S. d., chair
man; John B. Jessup, Wilmington, Del,
and John Burlington, Belleville, Ill.
One school is the center of special
investigation by the committee Fifty
students are said to have been In
training at this school, to be sent back
to their communities and schools to
spread communistic propaganda. The
students are reported to have come
from three states. That the doctrines
of communism are being taught
Hayes, the instructor, admitted. Rails
ing of the red flag in the United States
is being openly advocated, according
to reports. 1.-THE Constitution of the
United States is the product of fraud"
is a part of the curriculum of the Red
schools.
Reports to the commission indicated
that Soviet Russia has recently sent
into the United States $360,000 for
communist propaganda. The COM
mission reafirmed its opposition to
the Bolshevist regime in Russia By
the government of the United States.

by the double-breasted sleeveless

coats or capes of plaid In order to give
warmth when needed.
The young girls dance frocks and

The guiding principle for the mod.

can cover herself with embroidery and
elaboration if she will, but if she is
wise. or her parents are, she lets
youth reap the full advantage that is
given it by charming slim figure and

form a setting rather than fill the fore
