SMALL BABIES

All mothers, we believe, we're ex-
ccedingly interested in the cable dis
patch from Australia which declared
that the erstwhile smallest baby
in the world" is now woman with
two healthy children TO her credit.
That another of the worlds smallest
babies, now fun grown, Is q very
healthy specimen Of womanhood.
How much a baby weighs at birth
always is a point that few mothers
ever forget. The general tendency is
TO feel proud if the baby weighs
more than the average. What We
know nowadays, however. is that
this is not always an indication of
normal health and probably Ion
eevity. Proper food, good care and
prompt medical attention when
needed often is a greater resource
than too much fat on baby's limbs.
Doctors tell us that when babies are
normal in every respect the size at
birth doesn't matter quite as much
IS subsequent attention. Thus We
find that the baby who was so small
it had to be fed with a fountain
pen filler survived and prospered:
and the one which weighed u
ounces at birth, and only IA
now is a full grown mother with
children of her own.

GEDDI.S MISTAKEN

Seldom has Britisher made an
address that aroused such resent
ment in the United States as that
credited to Sir Archibald Geddes,
who told London audience that
the modern Chinese hate the Eng
lish because so many Of their pres
ent- day leaders gained their educa-
ton in the United States. where they
picked up erroneous ideas about
Great Britain.
This is perhaps an easy method
of lulIing the British minds into
blaming anybody except themselves
for their Chinese troubles. 1t obyi-
ates the unpleasant memories of the
opium war. the bringing Of opium
into China by the British, and the
methods used by some British Of
ficials to wiring unjust concessions
from the Chinese. The Chinese, how
ever, can be relied upon to possess
more fluent memories on these
subjects.
The educated Chinese got ,onsid-
cradle more in the United States
than hateful opinions about Great
Britain. II anything, they no doubt
found much Of the hands across

hearing acquaintance with the once
popular phrase. blood is thicker

universally harsh, while the attitude
OF the Americans was mild and con-
