Don't Make alloy
Out Of Baby
babies Have Nerves
BY RUTH BRITAIN

Much Of the nervousness In older
children can be traced to the over
stimulation during infancy. caused
by regarding baby as sort OF ami
mated toy for the amusement Of
parents, relatives and friends. Baby
may be played with, but not for
more than a quarter of an hour to
an hour daily. Beyond that. being
handled. tickled. caused to laugh or
even scream, will sometimes result
in vomiting, and invariably causes
irritability. crying or sleeplessness.
Fretfulness. crying and sleepless-
ness from this cause can easily be
avoided by treating baby with more
consideration. but when you Just
can't see what is making baby rest
less or upset, better give him a few
drops OF pure. harmless Castoria.
It's amazing to see how quickly it
Gains baby's nerves and soothes him
to sleep: yet it contains no drugs or
opiates. 1t Is purely vegeta ble-the
recipe is on the wrapper. Leading
physicians prescribe it for collie.
cholera. diarrhea. constipation. gas
on stomach and bowels. feyerishness
loss OF sleep and all other "upsets'
of babyhood. Over rs million bot
ties used a year shows its ovG--
whelming popularity.
With each bottle Of Castoria ycu
get 4 book on Motherhood. worth is
weight in gold. Look for Chas. H
Fletcher's signature on the package
SO you'll get genuine Castoria. There
are many limitations.

abandoned her attitude of federation
Saturday night and called the po-
lice, who found her husband in an
intoxicated condition asleep on a
davenport in the living room, and
entrance to the house blocked by a
way that to open it would neccssitate

before Judge Henry +. Roche in po-

one would want, but when he drinks
he makes life miserable" Mrs. Skene
said. She tried to keep him out of
court by submitting to his abuse for
three years but finally realized the
utility Of her martyrdom.
Skene, who is % years of age, ad-
mitted that he has allowed liquor to
overcome his sense of decency. but
he promised to profit by his arrest
and cease his tantruns, If given a
chance. Judge Roche imposed /

with a warning that If Skcne is ar
rested again he will serve the SEN
tence and probably another penalty
in addition to it. Placing him in
charge OF the probation officer.
Judge Roche remarked: You want

INTEREST CONTINUES IN
L0EWENSTEIN'S DEATH
His Airplane II Now Under Guard
At Croydon Field in
London.

London. July 3 UP)-With the
Fokker airplane, from which Cap
tain Alfred Loewenstein was report
ed to have disappeared. ordered un-
der guard at the Croydon airdrome
by the air ministry the greatest in
terest continued today in the disap-
pearance of the Belgian financier.
Air tests tending to prove that 1t
was impossible for the door of the
Fokker to have been opened while
the plane was in flight plus declara-
tons of occupants Of the plane that
Loewenstein was aboard when the
fight started. caused interest in the
strange case to be increased.
Financial circles particularly were
interested in the official investiga-
ton into the affair now under way in
Belgium. They pointed out there
were many legal complications
should the inquiry fail to bring proof
Of LoeWenstein's death.
According to the Belgian law I'M
less death is proved five years must
elapse before heirs would be per-
mjtted full. possession Of the estate.
This might involve many of Loewen-
STEMS great holdings In years of liti-
cation and perhaps have some effect
on the markets OF principal Euro
pean money capitals.
The Frankfort Gazette today es-
timated that Loewenstein's fortune
was between S45,000.000 and $50
100000 and that his liabilities were
about half that amount.
The Daily Mail today produced the
facsimile of two writing pads on the
pages Of which allegedly We're found
evidence that Loewenstein had been
attempting to arrange a loan OF TO-
900. 000-whether pounds or dollars

Report L0ewenstein May
Have Dropped in Chute

London. July 8 Up - The EK-
change Telegraph company prints a
rather startling dispatch from Dun
kirk which gives a new theory on
the disappearance of Captain Alfred
Loewenstein. Belgium financier.
A fisherman Of the small village
Of Bray-Dunes. on the coast OF
France, says the dispatch, Is report
ed to have stated that he was GER
tain he saw parachute fall from
the skies. about the time the Loew-
enstein plane was crossing the cham
mel, and alight few miles from
the place where he was.
He did not bother at the time. as
he saw a boat near the place where
the parachute came down.
There is no confirmation OF this
report. but In aviation circles 1T is
asserted that, provided the door OF
the plane was open, it would have
been quite possible for Loewenstein
to leave the airplane without being
detected by members of the crew.
