!. MEETING
CALLED

Leaders of the Anti-Smith
Democrats from ell over Virginia
are meeting in Richmond today
to decide whether or not to con-
tifaue their political organization,
Led by DR.. William Moseley
Brown, who as candidate for
governor, headed the ticket that
was so overwhelmingly defeated
in the November election, the
coalitionists, as they have become
known, will discuss the several
alternatives open to them.
The first of these is to con-
tinue their political organization
as independent Democrats; a sec
ond is to unite outright with the
Republicans, with whom they
worked in the recent campaign:
q third possibility is the complete
dishanding of their party; while
. final possible outcome OF the
meeting is a decision to retain
a skeleton organization and
await a favorable opportunity for
again attacking the now solidly
entrenched Democratic State ma
chine.
An opportunity of this kind
may come next November, when
the Senate seat now held by
Senator Carter Glass, old-time
Democrat, becomes open for con-
test.

Back to ancient Egypt one must go
to get the material for the first chapter
of the history of patch work-or since
that is out of the question to museum
where examples of the arts of ancient
Egypt are shown in glass cases. In
the tombs of the ancient kings and
queens of Egypt interesting examples
of this centuries-old handcraft are to
be found In some of the stores today
you can buy panels suitable for wall
hangings, table covers, etc, showing
bits of modern patch work from Egypt
that are amazingly similar to the work
done by the needlewomen of the pha-
roahs so many hundreds of years ago.
This is all, as you will notice, patch
work-that IS applique work. 1t is
done on coarse, unbleached cotton ma
terial with coarsely appliqued pieces
representing the conventional Egyptian
figures-slender brown figures about
household tasks, standing rowing their
shallow boats, lotus flowers, Egyptian
animals.
In our own country the gentle art
of piecing and patching was intro
duced by the Dutch and the English
not by the French. True piecing and
and patching was done in France, but
French settlements in this country were
usually in colder sections where a plen-
tiful supply Of skins and furs served

ship OF the weight chart; the desire to
have fat baby whose rate OF gain

cases to account for overlooking.
Let US try to round up the usual cul-
in mind that no short treatise can cover
upon the generally accepted points.
The rash itself IS caused by the elimi-
nation through the skin of nndigested
proteins or free fats which have failed
to go through the normal process Of
digestion owing to the Gripping of that
process by overwork. These undigested
elements are irritating and result in the
characteristic rash. There are external
factors, such as wool or other nappy
or feathery objects, that may be causa-
tive. but We are trying to stick" to the
subject of food.
The plump nursing baby is more
than likely imbibing milk that Is
very rich in cream, large and weighty
mothers having a special fondness for
rich and fatty foods. In consequence
the baby may be overfed, and the
quantities Of food may be too rich TO
be digestibie.
The bottle-fed baby may be receiving
Jersey or Guernsey milk, milk far too
rich for the average child, or he may
be unable to take care of even an ordi-
nary milk, containing just the usual
percentage of cream. For cream is an

a more precise art, calling for a sort Of
ingenuity that was not required for
patching" The girl who nowadays
would have specialized in geometry and
craftsmanship in college would IN the
old days have chosen piecework, while
the girl with a flare for designing and
freehand drawing would have chosen
patchwork designs instead.
Fleeing or, patching was pickup
work, and I suppose many an other
wise interminable Winters day was
made interesting and profitable by girls
and women who were working on their
quilt covers. Little girls learned first
lessons in needlework on some OF the
coarser blocks of quilt covers. Mothers
kept a piece or two at hand to work
over when rocking baby to sleep and
old women sitting by the fire-when
they grew tired OF knitting-felt that
they were still useful members OF the
household so long as they could take
a hand with the quilt making.
The actual quilting was a more So
ciable proposition. This was done
after the last stitch OF the piecing or
patching was finished ard the various
blocks had finally beeIe, sewn together.

about the phenomena of one bright red
cheek after the child has been cut In
the wind, or after he has eaten and
mapped. The evidence points strongly
to q diet overloaded with proteins. The
usual rasfes which appear on the
child's face and head and defy all
treatments, or which heal UP and reap
pear shortly, with or without the watery
surface and scabbing, are the most
common manifestations Of eczema.
Starches and sugars are capable Of
acting as villains, too, and when the
formula contains large quantities Of
sugar, and the baby is eating in addi-
ton large portions of cereal and vege-
tables, one can prof1tably cut down on
these elements when he has developed
a rash 3.
Perhaps 1t might be wise to say here
that any rash of any other origin be-
sides food would be accompanied by
signs of illness and of fever, while
eczema might not: also such other
rashes will disappear, while eczema
goes on, seemingly, forever.
The diet, then, demands the closest
scrutiny in an effort to determine what
can be altered and corrected with bene-
At to baby.
Babies suffer tortures from their
itching skins, and no water should be
used while the rash is present, just
oils to clean 1t, and soothing salves laid
on thickly and held in place by soft
cotton cloths. The salyes may heal
the rash temporarily. but unless some
change is made IN the diet the cure is
seldom permanent.
