Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Good Hearted Relative.

Mrs. A. s V. writes:
my baby of months old weighs
19 pounds and is thriving splendidly
on a tactic acid corn sirup and milk
formula. A relative, admirable in ad-
yising I'm many respects, insists on
giving the baby ticks of bacon fat,
gravy. weak tea and salmon gravy
She insists these will do her no harm,
while | think such things are absurd
for such a young baby and can't pos
sibly do her any good, and are only
conducive to putting her off her reg
uar food. She also advises soothing
powders for teething. | have given
her one. but her only indication of
teething is a little extra saliva. Please
tell me If | am right in holding out
against these things. as this is my
first baby and my relative has had
eight. She, too. thinks l am absurd,
and calls my ideas 'fads.
Answer.
The small amount of food which
child gets in these licks could not
possibly hurt it, and by the very
same count could not possibly do it
any good. The sole harm comes from
the suggestion to the child that he
can have bites of whatever is on the
ldDle before MIN, ana tHlS is TulIlOuS
to his table discipline. When he gets
older it will inevitably lead to the Civ
ing of foods which he has no right
to have because he refuses to be
quiet or happy at the table unless
he is being fed. Any one who has
ever dealt with children (eight should
have given this relative enough prac-
tice) knows that meals can be lit
eral times of horror with the child
pointing and screaming for every
thing he sees, until the mother, en-
tirely against her better judgment,
gives in to him. A child who has
never had any food except what is
prepared and fed him by his mother
has no such desires.
Naturally I could never approve of
teething powders. If a child is suf-
fering because of erupting teeth all
one can do Is to cut down his diet
for a day or so, keep him quiet, give
him plenty of cool water to drink and
let him alone. FuSsing with the
teeth. doping him with powders do
nothing except to give a temporary
relief which must he paid for later
by an upset stomach and irritated
nerves.
None of your ideas are ''fads," they
are just plain good sense.

HOW 1T STARTED
The Sailors Hornpipe
BY JEAN NEWTON.

The dance we know as the sailor S
hornpipe, about which a reader in.
quires. took it's name from the instru-
ment upon which the music for it's ac-
compartment was played in It's early
days. Also, though it is now identified
by that name. 1t was originally not a
sailors, but a farmers dance That
ancestry has survived TO the extent of
making it familiar number at a
country or barn" dance.
The history of the sailors hornpipe
can be traced back to the sixteenth
century in England and to about 1740
in Scotland. Its heyday was in the
eighteenth century, when it was gen
orally popular, and it was subse-
quently that the sailor gave it special
attention, and it came to be regarded
as a sailors dance. The hornpipe, a
musical wind instrument, originally
made from the horn of an OK, is
known to have been in use as far
back AS Chaucer's time.
illuminating are the ways Of Ian
guage, when a dance called the
Sailors hornpipe" turns out to have
been originated by farmers and to have
gained the second part of it's name
merely from the instrument which
furnished the music for it!

MOSCOW SUBURBS

Thousand Made Homeless by Ris-

MOSCOW, April 24.-The Moscow
River Is at freshet and a half dozen
suburban villages are under water.
The river is gradually rising, and that
part of the city lying along It's banks
is threatened with inundation unless
the waters begin to recede. Traffic
was paralyzed last night when ice
foes were swept from the river upon
the pavement at the Trotsky Gate, the
principal entrance to the famous
Kremlin.
The suburbs have been cut off by
the waters, and thousands of persons
have been forced to abandon their
homes. Throughout the night boats
bearing torches presented g. fantastic
sight on the river and its tributaries
as rescue parties moved hither and
thither to take n1arooned families to
higher ground. Likewise pontoon bat

Officials Declare.

BERLIN. April 24-The Russian
German amity treaty was signed
today.
Foreign Minister Stresemann af-
fixed his signature in behalf of Ger
many and Ambassador Krestinsky In
behalf Of Soviet Russia.
The treaty between Russia and
Germany. which has been in process
Of negotiation since December. 1924,
has been the subject of much specu-
lation among European nations.
Although the terms Of the agree
ment have not been made public. gu
thoritative quarters in Germany rep
resent it as 'an important step in
safeguarding the peace of Europe.
They maintain that it does not es-
tablish an alliance between the two
countries, but rather parallels and
compliments the Locarno pact. In
governmental circles 1t was said that
the treaty does not conflict in any
way with League Of Nations regula-
tionS.
"A bridge between Moscow and
Berlin Is a much better safeguard OF
European peace than a Polish army"
was the way one foreign Office spokes-
man put 1t recently.
The treaty, according to authorita-
tive sources, has only limited appli-
Is. 1t involves only the
relations between Russia and Ger
many and not the relations of those
countries with other European pow
ers, being in no way defensive or

that Germany would be obliged to re-
port to Moscow all confidential ne
gotiations with other powers and the
I league Of Nations affecting the inter
ests of both. has met with resentment
in Wilhelmstrasse. This suspicion
was regarded as nothing short Of an
affront.
Considerable surprise has been ex-

SKELETONS 5000 YEARS
OLD FOUND IN HAWAII
Discovery Casts Doubt on Theory
That Polynesians Were First
Island Inhabitants.
By the Associated Press.


HONOLULU, April 24.-Commer-
cial excavators are believed to have
upset the theory that Polynesians
were the first inhabitants of the Ha-
waiian Islands yesterday, when they
discovered a group Of we'll preserved
skeletons buried in strata of pure
white sand 80 feet below the surface,
but above the lava and coral rock
foundations, on hill 500 feet above
sea level near here.
Herbert Gregory, professor Of ge-
ology at Yale and director Of the
Bishop Museum. says that 1t is pos
sible the skeletons are at. least 5000
years old, which would place their
burial 1000 years before the settle
ment of Polynesians in the islands.
The fact that the deposit of white
sand, which issmore than a mile long,
is so far above sea level is also
battling scientists, who pointed out
that the sand is unlike any other of
the strata in the islands. Scientists
are divided in opinion as to the origin
Of the skulls, some contending they
are of Nordic resemblance, while
others say they are pure Aryan.
