Washington, Sept. 22.-All is
considered fair in politics, except by
certain rare men who seldom get
very far.
Both sides in a national campaign
customarily and to an almost incred-
IDLE degree act like q lot Of dumb
doras.
Consider the second point first.
An experienced and practical poll
tlclan just remarked to your cor
respondent that he had never seen
SO many "boners pulled" by both
sides in q national campaign as in
the last couple of months. It is
equally apparent to the casual OBJ
server that the blunders Of omis-
sion committed by the national cam
palgn organizations are numerous.
OF course, all the best bets aren't
overlooked, but q lot of them are.
Some day the present system Of
shooting wads of money, literature
and oratory here and there and leav-
ing the party's fate haphazardly to
state committees of all degrees of
efficiency probably will be replaced
by scientific national management.
Possibly Democratic Chairman Ras-
kob is leading the way to that new
era.
Herbert Hoover said the other day
through his press conference spokes-
man, that Whispering campaigns"
were as old as politics. He might
have added truthfully that such tao
tics, however virtuously the candi-
dates and national chairmen might
repudiate them, have not actually
been scorned by the party organiza-
tions.
Unquestionably there are MANY
men in politics who would not them
serves stoop to such methods and
others who would not condone their
use by less scrupulous men, but the
corruption of SO many political ma

is on fire. In fact, you will be able
to trace practically every movement
or thought that you have to some
impulse that has come to you
through some Of your organs Of
sense.
We have the eye for detecting
variations or light; the ear for de-
tecting noises; the nose for detect
ing doors; the tastebuds in the
tongue and mouth for overseeing our
food; touch organs in the skin and
internal organs for registering heat,
touch and internal sensations; We
have the semilunar canals in our
skulls near the ears, for observing
our equilibrium. These sensations
are carried by nerves to the brain.
where they register and start chan.
nels Of impulses which may cause us
to perform very complicated physical
movements.
All Of our knowledge Of the world
has come to us through the sense or.
gans, and it is interesting to trace
the development Of the first recos-
milton Of these senses by an infant.
Probably the first knowledge that q
baby has Of the external world comes
to 1t through its sense Of touch. It
becomes conscious Of the support of
the bed. and Of things coming in
contact with its arms and Iess.
Gradually it realizes the difference
between being held by the mattress
ana It's mothers arms. The undi-
rected physical movements Of the
oaby's arms and legs bring its at-
tention to clothes. pillows and crib.
One OF the reflexes that 4 child
seems to be born with is to trv to
grasp any object placed in its hands.
:. At first baby cannot see objects:
1t Is merely conscious of lirhts and
shadows. Gradually its eyes become
conscious OF large moving objects.
ana the eyes will follow them in Z
horizontal position, since the mus.
cles for raising and lowering the
eyes are not developed until some
time after birth.
The newborn child Is deaf Int :.
the air enters the middle ear throuSh
the eustachian tube, the hearing h.
comes developed. Possibly sound NJ

ing tones, and tho mothers lullahv
mas been evolved in practically eyery
country Of the world q an aid to
quoting the child. Hearing does not
develop fully for from several hours
to several days after birth.
The child at first is not conscious
OF sense Of hunger. The SUCKING
OF milk for the first few weeks seems
to be purely . reflex action. Oddly
enough, the sense Of smell seems to
be more acute than the sense Of taste
IN recently born babies.
It is most interesting to watch q
oaby's enjoyment of experimenting
with its new-found senses. If bahv

first the infant looks ct the Object.
then grasps and tastes it, and NAV
even listen to the object. Manv
mothers develop gray hairs because
baby insists on tasting everything.
but this is simply 4 natural method
Of the child trying out its new-found
senses.
