FILM
IN SECOND
WEEK

With flourish that spoke we'll
for the sound film, "Unwelcome
Children" people o. Washington
followed the path made last week
to the President Theater.
Either due to the fact or IN
spite of it. the wars waged last
week between the management
and various departments of the
police served to excite public
curiosity to the extent of wanting
to know the reason for the sug-
gested cuts of the film.
With most of the differences
ironed out. "Unwelcome Children"
still presents the story it started
out to tell to a world whose eyes
have been closed since Eden put
out its first for rent sign. 1t
still pleads with America to live
up to its reputation of being 4
day ahead of the fashion.
Conrad Neidt heads an excellent
cast and he is assisted by Werner
krause. Mary Ellis plays the
leading feminine role.
DR.. Daniel Martin, erstwhile
Chautauqua lecturer. is also in
his second week of attempting to
put the audiences in the correct
receptive mood for the feature.

We learn that LOthar Mendes

Mr.. Pomeroy did an excellent
piece of work. But If Mr.. Mendes

The picture is made to order
for sound. 1t closely follows the
stage play, in sets and dialogue.
A few changes, purely to con-
tribute footage, have been made.
But Interference" as it stands
is a natural talkie of the new
school, no more resembling the
old pantomimes than they. in

marvels in the penny museum.
The talkie fortunes of two per-

They are Evelyn Brent and Will

it is:
Sir John Marley is at the crest
of his London fame as a surgeon

name of Ackroyd staggers into
his office. Sir John tells the man

from whom she had run away
and whom she had hitherto be-

One other woman, Deborah
Kane. an old sweetheart of NoaZe,

Lady Marley because she had
proof of the latter's secret.
Sir John Marley discovers
Deborah's game and deals him
self a hand. Noaze likewise
steps in. Deborah is found
poisoned in her apartment. The
mystery is cleared up for the
happiness of the Marleys.

THEY ALL GAVE THEM
SELVES LAVISHLY, WITHOUT
COUNTING THE COST. TO THE
THING THEY DESIRED.
This does not mean that The
giving was always easy Success
fuI people. like all other people,
must battle with laZiness. discour-
agement, vanity, fear and bore
dom. Often they must battle even
harder than other people. But in
spite of these handicaps they gave
all they had. And because they
gave all they had. because they
did not save themselves, they won
out.
This law applies to every class
Of work. every type Of human. 1t
is as true of the priest and the
poet as OF the plumber and poll

it be the saving of souls or the

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. BiSch-

TODAY l am going to give you
Il certain data which | find
many mothers are puzzled about
or like to know about as matter
of interest.
The average weight of a baby
at birth is not or 10 pounds but
slightly over Z pounds. Boys
weigh a trifle more than girls.
The average male child is 7.55
pounds while the female is 7.l6.
The average for both sexes is
7:35 pounds.
During the first day there is
a marked loss of weight in every
child. On the second day the loss
is less. After the third day there
should be a steady gain.
This beginning weight loss may
he as much as 10 ounces. This
loss is regained by breast-fad
children by the zenith day. Bottle
fed babies do not regain the loss
for a week or two. Then, il the
milk formula is correct, they also
begin to regain.
The greatest increase of weight
is during the first three months.
From the sixth to the ninth
month it is slowest. A gain of 4
ounces each week is about aver.
age for the first six months.
There is practically no difference
in weight between the bottle-fed
and artificially fed babies during
this period provided the feeding
is properly done.
During the second year the
gain in weight should be
pounds. During the third year, Az
pounds. During the fourth year
about 4 pounds.
All babies have what might be
termed two "holes" in the head.
There is one in front where the
bones of the skull meet. also one
in the back of the head. These
"holes" are called fontanels. The
one in the back closes about the
end of the second month. The
front one closes about the eight.
eenth month.
A, child makes its first delib-
crate and purposeful muscular
movements during the fourth
month. If you hold an object
before it. it will grasp it. During
the fourth month. also, the child
is able to hold its head erect If
the body Is supported.
At seven months the baby can
sit erect. In the ninth and tenth
months the first attempts to bear
the weight upon the feet are
made. At 10 or II months the
child can stand when assisted.
The first attempts at walking
are usually made in the twelfth
or thirteenth month.
1t should be emphasized. how.
ever. that variations from the
above figures may exist. Children.
even il perfectly vigorous and
normal, do not always develop
according to average schedules.
Especially is this true with re-
gard to speech.
AS a rule girls begin to utter
first words from two to four
months earlier than boys. In both
sexes, toward the end of the first
year, children can say dada"
mama" etc.
BY the end OF the second year
the average child Is able to put
two or three words together in
short sentences. After that i'm
provement is rapid.
The teeth appear at six to nine
months. and they are the two
lower central incisors. Next. from
10 u months. come the four
upper incisors.
At I year q child should have
teeth; at IL years. 13 teeth: AT
years. is teeth; "a years, 20
teeth.
