stability. For the first three years
of it's life, therefore, the infant
tends to be knock kneed.
After years of age the knock
knees disappear, provided that they
are not a permanent inherited FAM
lily characteristic, that the shoes
that it wears do not tend to prolong
the condition, and that it's diet
contain sufficient bone and muscle
building material so that bone and
muscle weakness will not prevent
normal growth.
1t has been emphasized also that
fatigue and faulty rest conditions
tend to maintain bad posture. An
infant spends most of his time ly-
ing in bed.
Often succeeding children use
the same cribs that were used by
older members of the family and
little attention is paid to the ne
cessity for modifying and renovat-
ing the crib for the newcomer.
A sagging, soft mattress or spring
serves to distort the body and pre-
vent the development of good pos
ture.

Help Near East

Near East relief work was organ
lied some twelve years ago. During
that time the American people have
contributed $105,0O0, 900. According
to those in charge, this money has
saved 100000 people from starva-
ton and taken care of $4,000 or
phans.
More than $4,000 orphans remain
to be fed, clothed and trained until
they can look out for themselves.
The executive committee esti-
mates that this will require $6,000,-
600, or about $3.50 per child.
Next Sunday contributions will be
asked for in the churches of this
country. If you think you can
spare dollar, dime, or even a
nickel for such work, put it in the
box,

Representative Britten's Naval Proposal

There is popular belief that if persons who
are in disagreement can meet each other race 10 lace
across a table they can compose their differences.
Some such idea must have been back of the am
bilious proposal of Representative Fred A. Britten
of Chicago to have naval affairs committee of the
house meet with select committee of the British
parliament in Canada for friendly discussion and
the hearing of testimony in connection with apply
ing the principle of equality in power between
Great Britain and the United States"
Britten, who is scheduled, to succeed the late
Thomas S. Butler of Pennsylvania as chairman of
the naval affairs committee, wired his suggestion
to Premier Stanley Baldwin.
Brittens desire for naval agreement with
Britain is wholly commendable but there are a good
many obstacles to its accomplishment First and
foremost is the fundamental dispute on cruisers
There has been no evidence that Great Britain has
abandoned her position this question, or that the
United States is willing to yield.
Furthermore, Britten apparently acted without
consultation with President-Elect Hoover, charged
with the conduct of our foreign relations He like
wise ignored the senate which shares with the
executive the control of foreign affairs, and which
is exceedingly jealous of it's prerogatives. And he
went completely over the head of the state depart
ment, whose function it is to arrange international
parleys.
1t is hardly probable that committees of the two
legislative bodies could reach accord moot ques
tions over which the League of Nations disarnla-
nent commission has been pickering for years, and
which caused failure of the treepower naval parey
in Geneva last year.
Nor does a recollection of the confused and
sometimes rotous hearings on the naval bill in the
last congress lead to quiet confidence in the states

But no one in Holland seemed to have turned the
telescope the sky 1t may also have been that
these frstr telescopes crude that they were
useless for such purpose.
Calico in Italy, heard of the Dutch telescope His
information was not much but sufficient to enable
him to work out the design of telescope for himself.
He ground the lenses himself and mounted them in
organ tute.
His first telescope magnihed about three times. His
second better, giving magnifcation of about
eight times
His third telescope gave magnihcation of about
thirty-three diameers It this that he made the
great astronomical discoveries which immortalized his
name incidentally, however, it should be remem-
bered that Galeo's work in physics and the laws

did with the telescope.
Galileos telescope revealed at that the mark
ings on the moon were mountains and valleys. He
thought he saw seas also but know now that they
were only great fiat plains.
His telescope also revealed four moons revolving
around Jupiter and the fact that Venus went through
phases like our own moon.
1t showed him also that Saturn was unusual in ap-
pearance but his telescope not powerful enough
to reveal the system of rings around Saturn.

Il Was Worth Il

There has been more or less criti-
cism of the Near East Relief work.
Some have wondered why we should
have taken it upon ourselves in the
first place. Others have complained
at the overhead, still others have
suggested that it involves too much
religious propaganda.
refuse to argue such points,
Maybe they contain an element of
truth and maybe they do not. No
one has offered a better plan, and
no one will deny that some kind of
plan was needed. More than that,
no one will deny that America was
in a better position to put up the
money than any other nation.
We could have sat down and let
them starve, Of course. We could
have said that it was none of our
business, that there was enough
need at home for all the money we
could spare. We could have hidden
behind the excuse that interference
might embarrass our relations with
some foreign country. Indeed,
there were all kinds of arguments
we might have raised as to why
we should not engage in Near East
relief work.
For one, I am proud of America,
because she turned deaf ear to
those arguments. Even if half the
sos, ZOO, 900 had been frittered away,
which it has not, we still could look
back on the work with satisfaction.
1t is not such an empty privilege
to recall that couple of million
people are alive today, because of
this country's decent concern as to
their welfare.
We are no worse off materially,
whether we are better off spirit
ually. If that SOS, 100000 had not
gone to Asia minor, the probabilities
are that it would have gone for all

HAVING proved our prosperity

HAVING proved our prosperity,
4 4 if not our gratitude by con-
suming large quantities of turkey,
paying as much as $50 a piece for
football tickets and going through
other extravaganza motions, it might
be just as well to give the other
side Of the ledger a passing glance.
All people are not as well off as
we are. More than that, and in
spite of the great progress we have
made in the abolition of poverty, our
blessings still are distorted by a
somewhat unequal distribution.
We certainly have not arrived at
such happy state in this work as
to lack opportunity for intelligent
and worthwhile giving. There is
poverty right here in America, and
there is vastly more of it out yon-
der-poverty that cannot be
remedied for those concerned, ex-
cept through immediate assistance.

Too Much Crime

The wanton shooting of citizens by bandits the
repeated holdups on city streets and county roads the
increasing number of acts of pllage and outlawry of
all kinds suggests that something should be
done than grant permits to set decoy traps for bandits
That winter always brings more crimes is
perience Of the past Cold weather and decrease in
employment certain lines have always driven
few weakngs into crime substitute for work and
thrift.
But not even the season explains the unusual in
crease in crimes in and around this city during the
past few months.
Perhaps the answer can be found in the fact that
crime is fast becoming profession that is no more
hazardous than driving a truck or working in
factory.
The organization squads of special police to ride
the county roads has apparently not been perfect
success This would indicated at least by the fact
that private citizens ask permission to join in the hunt
for the men or gangs who are operating regularly.
The fact that a citizen be wantonly shot down
in a downtown street and escape suggests very
strongly that there something lacking in either the
men or methods Every unsolved murder, and there
are many makes all lives little unsafe in these
days of crime.
Beyond any deficiencies in the department whose
business is to discover the criminals there are other
reasons for the increase of crime. Some of these
be found IN the IacC GnaI very MANY SuAty

Our machinery of justice is not geared up to meet

The one sure deterrent to crime is the certainty
