Your Baby and Mine
NJ MYRTLE MEYER ELpRED.

Mrs. G. b. asks: Wont you write
| strong article and tell mothers to
cease hanging toys from the centers
| of baby carriages and thus forcing
| the baby constantly to stare at this
object? Also tell small boys who wear
caps to put the ears inside OF the
caps instead OF letting them stick out
from the head. These are two care
| less things which could be avoided"
I quite agree with you. Babies do
not need constant entertainment.
There In enough to see all about
them If they are out riding. and gag.
ing into space is better for their eyes
than having them constantly focused
on moving object. No wonder
babies shrek! Imagine the fiauseat-
ing effect OF something dangling con-
stantly before ones eyes, from which
one could never be relieved. Mothers
do this out of kindness, failing to
realize that everything in this strange,
new world Is novel to q baby, ana
bright. bobbing toys are no more 10
than waving trees and the constantly
changing aspect Of the landscape.
AS for boys--this habit of letting
their ears protrude at grotesque
angles from under cap is the fault
of the caps If boys cap fits him
it comes around his head just above
the ears. 1t is when the cap ID so
large that it falls down out Of place
that a boy is confronted with the
problem as to whether he wants his
ears out or In, and. being boy. natu.
rally he'll decide that they should be
out. Fit his cap properly and he will
not run the risk Of forcing his ears
out of place, a matter which will
seem of small consequence now, but
| which he may later deplore.
Mrs. A. L.: One can't imagine any
baby of six weeks old who has gained
one pound a week since birth being
anything but frightfully uncomforta-
BILE. I should think even very young
and inexperienced mother would real
ize that such a gain is all out OF pro-
portion. Five to six ounces q week.
and not 16, is the normal gain, and 30
your baby is miserable from being
overfed. Feed but once in four hours,
not minute sooner and feed for 10
minutes only. This ought to END the
trouble. You're welcome.

Perhaps the most suitable Of all
ornaments for the old-time fireplace
mantel shelf is a lacquered tray. An.
tique lacquered trays are very scarce
and expensive, but equally decorative
ones can be contrived at hort by an
amateur.
Ordinary tin trays make a suitable
foundation for the work. They can
be completely covered with coat Of
black enamel. Or, if some part of
the design (such as a wide gold band)
might be Incorporated in your. own
design, then that portion can be- left
In its original state.
After the tray is dry the design
can be applied in various ways.
Snowy flower and bird designs are al
ways effective. These may be ap.
piled free.hand with colored enamels

transfer designs are an easy solution

COTTON DECLINES
IN BRIEF SESSION
Rallies From Early Drops
Bring Prices Back Part of
Way, But Close Is Lower.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, September 3.-Ap-
prehensions of unsettled weather over
the week end led to rallies from an
opening decline in the cotton market
today. After selling off to 2255, De-
cember advanced to 22.76, or back to
yesterdays closing quotation. But
there was a renewal of realizing in
late trading, that delivery closing at
226S. The general market closed
steady at net declines Of to IL points
The opening was easy at a decline
of 18 to "a points under liquidation
and local or Southern selling, prob
ably Influenced by relatively weak
Liverpool cables and reports of bene-
fetal rains in Texas. October declined
to 1928 and March to 2275 under
these initial offerings, but selling was
less active than on recent setbacks,
and the market soon steadied on pre-
holiday covering.
At this season of the year there Is
more than usual uncertainty with ref
erence to weather conditions over a
two-day adjournment, and with the
market closed from today until next
Tuesday, there was evidently a dis
position to cover recent sales. This
was stimulated by prospects for rather
unsettled weather in the South over
Sunday, local map readers predicting
probable showers over the northern
part of the belt, while there were
reiterated reports of firm spot basis,
particularly in the Southwest.
Realizing or liquidation continued.

STEEL PRICES STEADY
IN WEEKS DEALINGS
Copper Business Fair With Some
Export Trade-Demand for Tin
Reported Only Fair.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 3.-While
steel prices in many instances were
quoted as steady during the week,
there were a few products that were
said to be pressing for sale and for
which concessions could be obtained.
Business was no better than recently,
but with the turn.in of September,
the industry was expecting an i'm
provement. Pig iron continued mod
erately active and prices were again
irregular.
Copper has held fairly steady. Some
export business has been reported but
buyers for home needs have shown
comparatively little interest and the
foreign demand was less in evidence
toward the end Of the week. 1t is re-
ported that domestic consumers have
their September requirements pretty
we'll covered. Producers generally are
holding steady at the 13H cent level
for electrolytic delivered at Connecti-
cut Valley points.
Demand for tin was only fair and
most of the trade was credited to deal
ers. Price movements, while narrow
were irregular. The worlds visible
supply decrease was smaller than ex-
pected.
Lead was reduced by leading pro-
ducers and the inquiry was moderate.
A slight increase in the rate of world
production during July was reported.
Zinc was trifie easier and new busi-
ness failed to expand. Deliveries
against specifications were fair.
Antimony was comparatively quiet.
The bulk of the business was of
jobbing character.

VALUATION OF c. 90.
PROTESTED IN BRIEF
Value of $780, ,S86,96 Claimed, as
Against the I. C. C. Tentative
Figure of $19s,613,5O2.


The Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
filed brief yesterday with the Inter.
state Commerce Commission protest.
ing against the commissions tenta-
tive valuation of $198,612.5O2 of it's
properties as Of June 80, 1916, claim
ing a final value of not less than
1855, ,8S6,965.
Principal objection was found with
the commissions deduction for depre-
citation of Sal ,955. .472, or 20.7 per cent,
from the cost Of reproduction new
and with the use of 1914 prices in
determining 1916 value.
The company claimed that the 1916
cost Of reproduction new was not less
than $293,001 ,074 plus the cost of re-
production new of Industrial tracks
and Chesapeake & Ohio of Indiana
teephone and telegraph property.
Less depreciation, the carrier claimed
a cost of reproduction new figure of
1892 ,615,343.
Calling attention to higher costs of
labor and materials in 1916 compared
with 1914, the brief declared the "eco-
nomics Of this country would indeed
be unsound" If railroad owners, who
received their returns in the current
dollar, were compelled to accept a
dollar of entirely different purchasing
power than that received by owners
OF all other property.
