Sunshine Baths
By Royal S. Copeland


As / wrote these lines / was on
train crossing Southern Alabama. AT
a season when it is cold in the North,
so cold that the newspapers tell of
severe snow storms, down here it is
balmy and deliciously warm.
On every street corner and in the
dooryard of every house there are
sensible persons enjoying the sun
light and pure air. They look happy
and know they have a right to be,
because they are absorbing the heal
ing and invigorating rays Of the sun.
We cannot say too much about the
good that comes from these rays. We
haven't learned everything about them
yet, but enough is known 10 justify
the positive statement that they i'm
part to Us life-giving effects.
The kind and wise doctors who are
spending their lives in the study Of
ways and means to better child health
have decided that sunlight is an eff
fective agent in preventing and cur
ing ricketts,. Cod liver oil was the
nauseous stuff which had TO be de-
pended on in the old days. Fortunate
ly, the laboratory workers have eI-
tracted from that the disgusting flavor
and have given US tablets easy to
take and possessing all the curative
virtues of the original oil.
When / mention the value Of sun
light, have no desire TO weaken
faith in the qualities Of cod liver oil.
When it is indicated, it should be
provided. But that does not do away
with the Importance Of giving large
doses Of sunlight in addition.
However, did not set out to talk
about curing disease. What / have
in mind is to tth you how to prevent
disease. That is more important,
isn't it:
Everybody-particularly babies
should be given the inestimable privi-
lege Of sun bath every day there
is sunshine. In winter especially this
is desirable.
You can find a room in your house
where there is a flood Of sunshine at
come time during the day. Spread a
clean sheet or blanket on the floor.
On this deposit the baby, stripped to
the skin. Permit him TO stretch and
kick and roll. giving his muscles the
best possible sort of exercise.
Of course, you will make sure the
temperature is high enough 50 the
baby won't be chilled. He will have
sense to keep comfortably warm by
exercising his muscles.
Every minute this precious being
lies there in the direct sunlight, be
is absorbing some mysterious force
from the sun which gives health and
vigor. The infant is taking posses
sion Of something be can get in no
other way. / beg every mother to
note what ! say in this connection
and give her baby the great benefit
Of the sunlight.

Budding Genius
The Artist.
BY II. L. Manning.

The boy came home from school with
his head soaking wet. Mother, I've
just had a most beautiful swim. See,
my heads all wet" and down went
the tousled head for her to feel.
1t was on cold, disagreeably wet
day in February, and mother was not
only anxious but furious, for her only
son had been permitted to go through
the city streets all alone to a distant
swimming pool, and he walked back
alone. At least that is what mother was
told, and the school was responsible
So mother hotfoots it TO school,
lacking only a package of dynamite
to express her feelings completely.
will you tell me what in heavens
name permitted you to let that small
boy 20 in swimming on a day like yes
terday? j have been up half the night
trying to head off a cold, and it's a
wonder if he doesn't get pneumonia, {"
etc, etc.
"why, my dear madame, only the
older boys 90 to that pool, and can
not imagine how he came TO so. Who
took him?"
His teacher, Mr.. Jones'"
"Send for Mr.. Jones"
Mr.. Jones, puzzled: "Why, he didn't
20 TO the pool. He was in my room
all the afternoon.
"Mr. Jones, send that boy here"
And a bright, happy and intelligent
youngster answered the call.
Mother: Didn't you tell me you
went swimming yesterday"
"Why, yes, mother dear"
"Did you go?"
"Wby, no, mother"
Quickly interrupting, the boy was
directed to return to his room, and
mother got this lecture right off tho
bat:
II sent that youngster Of yours right
out of the room before you had a
chance to scold him. Scolding is so
natural and so stupid He has the
same Imagination you have, for it
sticks out all over you both.
"Of course, he couldn't 90, for he
knew and has been told only BIG
BOYS GO SWIMMING ALONE. His
report to you is just an imaginative
kids way Of saying he has grown up,
and wants you to admire him for it.
Ridiculous? Yes, but that's the
kid Of it. Yet you are partly respon-
sible, for you have been telling him
what a fine big boy you expected him
to be. He has merely anticipated you
by a few years, that's all.
"yow go home and enjoy the society
of a likeable, imaginative youngster I;
fed him up on fairy tale books, and
in fact, anything that will absorb that
Imagination of his, and when be grows
up he will become as famous an ar
tist as his mother
As school was closing the elastic
step Of an unabashed boy was heard
passing the office door:
Tell me, how did you get your head
so wet?'
Il put it under the faucet, sir"

Calls for Honest Answer

What kind of dispute could we have
with any other nation that we would be will
Ing to submit for adjudication of the World Court
Of the League of Nations which we would not be
willing now to submit to the already existing Hague
Tribunal for international Arbitration-and why?"
You Americans who still believe in the wisdom
of Washingtons admonton "avod entangling ALI
ances should ask this of your friends who are advo
Gates Of our entering the World Court back door of

I'VE FIGURED him.

-'
AS BEING the butler.
AND HE'S six foot three.
AND EVERY morning.
HE LEAVES the house.
AND WALKS his way.
TO A little park.
AND RIGHT behind him.
COMES A little black dog.
AND ALL the time:
IT'S BEEN my impression.
THAT THE tall. thin, man.
HAS HATED the dog.
AND THAT he's ashamed.
OF HIS morning task.
FOR I have noticed.
THAT WHEN it happened.
HE PASSED anyone.
THAT HE'D never turn.
TO SEE if the dog;
WAS COMING on.
But WOULD always wait.
TIL THE street was clear.
OF PAssERsBY.
AND IN the park.
WHERE THE nurses come.
WITH THEIR infant cares.
HE'D WALK right on.
AND THEN would wait.
WHERE THE benches ceased.
AND HE was hidden.
WHERE THE shrubbery grows.
AND OFTENTIMEs.
I'VE HAD a desire.
TO SPEAK 10 him.
But NEvED once.

Filipino Statesmen
Reject Firestone's
Plantation Scheme


MANILA, June 17.-Because the
proposals to grant enormous tracts Of
land for development by United States
corporations will prevent any fulfill
ment of the promise made by the U.
S. to give the Philippine Islands their
independence, the national supreme
council, coalition of all Filipino po-
litical parties, has disaprpoved of the
proposal of the Firestone Tire COM
pany that public lands be leased in
tracts of half million acres or more
for fifty or seYenty-fve years as rub
Der growing plantations.
This indicates that the next Filipino
Legislature will not approve of the
measure at its next session. which
will follow the American Rubber COM
pany's desire TO abolish the law which
at present prohibits any individual or
corporation from acquiring more than
$500 acre tracts.
