by Ruth Drittai,

Thumb sucking does look sweet in baby. but it is disgusting in the three-year-old and sometimes it hangs on until fifteen or sixteen. The habit may cause an Informed mouth or induce adenoids: and it always interferes with digestion. Filming the sleeve over the hand; attaching mittens, or putting on cardboard cuffs, which prevent bending the arms at the elbows, are some of the ways to stop the habit.
 Another bad habit-irregularity in bowel action-is responsible for weak bowels and constipation in babies. Give the tiny bowels an opportunity to act at regular periods each day. If they don't act at first, a little Fletcher's Castoria will soon regulate them.

FLEET NOW RESTS IN HONOLULU, I. H.
Completes Greatest Bit of Its
 Naval Strategy

Aboard U. s. S. Arizona in harbor Of Honolulu. T. H.. April 30 UP)- The United States battle fleet rested at anchor here today. having com- pleted one of the greatest bits of naval strategy in history.
 Approximately 75 vessels of war traversed the Pacific ocean from San Francisco to Honolulu without being sighted by an "enemy' force of S5 knot cruisers.
 The battle problem required Ad- miral Louis k. De Steiguer, con- mander in chief of the fleet, 10 es- oort a large overseas convoy of supply and auxiliary ships and evade the enemy force. He had to arrange the convoy so that 1t would be pro- tested by battleships and align the convoy for entry into the port of Honolulu in the face of severe enemy opposition from % submarines, mine laying squadrons and cruisers.
 Admiral De SteiGuer overcame the hard problem. successfully keeping
  more than 1000 miles 10 the Ha- waiian Islands in 10 days without sighting the enemy until dawn Sat urday, when the fleet entered this harbor under protection of coast de- fensc guns of the island of Oahu.
 Enemy Close
 On two occasions the enemy's scout cruisers were so close to the battle fleet they were sighted by planes sent up from the carrier Langley. One of the most interest ing sights of the voyage here was the take-off of the planes at sea and their return.
 Radio messages of the enemys submarines and mine layers were also intercepted on both Hanks dur ing the last three days of the trip.
 The fleet maintained radio silence at all times and no lights were al-
