Do Babies Like You? That's
a Pretty Good Test
BY BRUCE BARTON.

All motherhood became sane
titled in the worship paid to
Mary, the mother of Jesus.
All childhood was ennobled by
the birth in the manager.
Today we measure the civil
ization Of a nation by the ques-
ton: How does it treat its
babies?
And the civilization Of an indi-
vidual can be measured by the
same test.
Do you consider babies a
nuisance? Do you dislike them?
Do they fear you?
Then - though your culture
may belong to the twentieth
century-your heart still fingers
in the first.
It's a question how much any
one man influences the world
through his business life or. his
public acts. ~.
Alexander conquered the world.
And, before his ashes were cold,
his kingdom began to break up.
But one little section of the
human race is given into your
care irrevocably:
Your babies.
What you make them they will
be. Through them and their de-
scendants you can perpetuate
your influence to the end Of
time.
If there is a baby in your
home, nursins-bottles ought to
be more important to you than
stocks and bonds.
You ought to know more about
the various kinds of baby foods
than you know about golf.
Your business is important be-
cause it makes your living.
But your home is ail-important
because there you make lives.
In it are nodded the characters
Of the future proprietors of the
earth: your ehildren--the most
important citizens in the world.

Pageantry to Mark
Canadian Parliament

Pomp and pageantry will mark ths
opening of the Canadian parliament
on February Z. While the union jack
floats in Winter sunshine from the.
high pole on the majestic victory tower,
of the Parliament buildings, the great
men of Canada and representative
gathering of the ladies of their official,
families will witness in the noble Senate
chamber the arrival of Gov. Gen.
Viscount Wilmington and his wife. As
the personal representative of the King
of England, the governor general will
read the speech from the throne, con-.
tanning the governments program. The
scene will be one of impressive and
dignified beauty. Members Of the gov-s
eminent, of Parliament, the diplomatic
corps and judiciary. in formal and Off:
cial dress, will have places Of honor.
But the color will be given by hundreds
of feminine costumes, gowns Of rich,
worn by the wives and
daughters of those comprising official-'
dom. Afterward comes the state dim
ner and by the following evening, 1900,
debutantes formally make their bow,
to the Viscount and Viscountess Will
ingdon by which they are introduced
to society, bringing the solemn and
stately ritual Of the Dominion Of,
Canada to q colorful close.

are intended to be carried on the
deck of a submarine and released
when an emergency arises. The design
under consideration has telephone
and light.
The Navy used to use buoys for this
purpose but they were abandoned some
years ago, because good many obJec-
tons had been made against their use.
The safety board, however, has now
recommended their use again, and the
department is having samples built for
experimental purposes. The feet off,
GERS wilt be asked for an opinion on
their usefulness.
An investigation also is in progress
to devise an apparatus for use with such
buoy for radio communication.
Notifications of the running lights OF
all submarines are now being worked
out, with view to increasing their eff
fectivenesS. An experimental lnStalla-
ton is being made on six vessels OF
the S class and three vessels of the V
class.
To determine their practicability and
value, special diStinguishable lights will
be placed upon submarine of the con-
| troll force and one of the Battle Fleet.
II this installation is found to be a
good thing, the Navy Department will
| place IT before the international Con-
| ference on Safety of Life at Sea. Run
nings lights are intended to make a
| submarine more distinguishable, not SO
| much as a submarine but as vessel
operating upon the surface. The sub
marine board specifically recommended
special distinguishing light, and it is
! In response to this request that the
Navy Department has now taken steps
to give these lights tryout.
Reduction Increases Danger.
A much stricter limitation applies to
underseas craft now in service The
weight of new devices installed on a
submarine in service can be compen-
stated to limited extent only by re-
duction in the weights in the ballast
keel, but any weight that is so added
and thus compensated reduces the re-
serve of stability. and such reduction OF
the reserve in stability below a reason
able minimum increases the danger tc
the submarine and its personnel in ordi-
nary operation.
In the construction of new vessels
the limitation in safety devices is not
so strict That is the reason why the
Navy Department is obliged to proceed
so slowly in reaching a decision to place
given safety device on all the under
| seas craft Of tho Novv

Authority on Latin American Affairs

Authority on Latin American AHdHs'
~HERE are still several millions OF
human beings in Latin America
who live entirely disseminated
/ from civilization: These are the
Indians. Illiterate, not even
pcssessing the Spanish language, and
without rights, those Indians live COM
pletely separated from the national lie
and "vegetate" without ideals ana
ignorant of their very existence. Tney
form enormous masses who lnhaDlt tns
open ranges and distant from clvlllzeo
centers, and do not participate IN tne
slightest degree in the economic ana
political development OF the natlonS
wherein they live. They constitute the
last remnants of that period of servltude
which for centuries humanity has en-
deavored to remedy. However, this
servitude is quite distinct to that known
to history. It is peaceful and harmon
ious; a slavery imposed by civilized men
lin a friendly manner" In reality,
those illiterate people live more In
oblivion than they do In slavery.
Be it that the true significance and
consequences of this situation are not
understood, or that although a clear
conception is had of it, the necessary
means to remedy it are lacking, the fact
remains that those great uncivilized
masses live completely isolated and
foreign to the rest of the white and
mixed races, who on the other hand
enjoy all the rights. privileges and COM
forts of civilized life.
Great Numbers of Indians.
There exist in several of the Span
ish American republics great numbers
Of those Indians, descendants OF the
early tribes who first settled the con-
tinent. In some of those countries they
live totally isolated from the white race,
confined to a small territorial extern
sion, where the light of civilization has
not as yet reached. but where NOBODY
interferes with their customs and ways
of living they are left In peace -. I.
and in oblivion, in the hope that time
alone will slowly but surely exterminate
them. Such is the case with the Pata-
gonian and Araucanian Indians in
Argentina and Chile These are rela-
lively small in number; they exert not
the slightest influence in the nations
affairs, and are doomed to perish I'M

asked Charles Lamb.
l. Il "B b o e d,

In the beginning Of the race
nobody except mothers liked
babies.
The record Of civilizations

Babies had no rights; they
were a necessary evil.
In the South Sea Islands, when
either parent died, the children
were slain and buried also, to
wait on the parent in the other
world.
In China it is estimated that 40
per cent Of the girl babies in the
provinces of the interior were
drowned.

born, the mother put opium on

known. Certain tribes are still in their
most primitive stage and live the lives
of savages.
However, in some of the Southern
American republics, for instance, Peru,
Ecuador and others, the Indians live
nearer to the commercial centers, this
because they are more numerous and
constitute the majority OF the popula-
ton. In those countries they enjoy some
of the comforts and opportunities offer
ed by civilization, but on the other hand
are more directly subjugated to the ex-
ploitation exercised by the white race.
They learn Spanish, dress and live bet
ter and are industriouS-but do not
work for themselves, but for their mas
tiers, and toll to enrich others. They
are subjected to peaceful servitude
indirectly 'legalized" where the loss OF
their liberties is compensated by the
benefits derived from their contact with
civilization.
Becomes National Problem.
In those latter republics the Indian
question has become national prob
lem. This is because the autochthonouS
classes constitute such a great portlon
of the total population, that whatever
is done to civilize and educate them
NAV influence the future conduct OF
those nations. The day that those IN
dian classes are incorporated to the
life of the nation and begin to have an
active part in it. the nations cited Will
vastly increase their economic resources:
On the contrary, if the present state OF
affairs Is neglected and those great
masses are kept away from civilization
the problem might some day acquire
serious proportions
In order that the Latin American
governments could realize the lmpor-
lance of the situation the presence OF
the real danger was necessary. And
it has come in the form of a COM
munistic propaganda of European origin
which seeks to take advantage OF the
precarious condition and ignorance OF
the Indian masses to add momentum
to a social revolutionary movement.
The communistic agitators have already
begun to preach disobedience and vio-
lence among the Indians by telling them
they are the legitimate owners OF the
lands they work and by melting them
to take up arms against their masters,
thus availing themselves of their igno-
rance to sow anarchy In those nations.

advanced than in others; to keep the
Indians away from that destructive in
fluence of communistic ideas which in
cite them to rebellion and to appro-
pirate the lands of their masters. To
attain this two things are necessary:
give him civilization and rights. That
is what today are doing the govern
ments of several of the Latin republics
of the Western Hemisphere.
Let us take Peru, for instance, as a
concrete case Peru has been one OF
the countries confronting with more
serious proportions the native problem.
And because of the destructive influence
of communism the Peruvian govern
ment has decided to openly face the
situation, adapting to that end COM
bined system of action. the result OF
which at the present time could not
be more satisfactory.
Educational Systems Used.
To find solution to the important
problem of redeeming the native classes
which comprise rs per cent of the
population of Peru-the problem has
been embraced from two aspects; the
cultural and agrarian aspects, that Is to
say, education and property rights. To
accomplish this purpose. general sys-
tenn of education has been established
to such an extent as to carry it, through
special methods, to those illiterate
classes. The appropriation for the
department of education has been
doubled and today amounts to 10000
600 soles, or about $4,000 the num-
Der of public schools has augmented
throughout the republic and ambula-
tory schools have been created to bring
to the Indian the needed education. In
this manner the most distant regions
in the country today enjoy some source
of education. In addition to this, man.
ual training is being taught in the
schools specially adapted to the needs
and capabilities of the pupils. And
finally native institutions have been
created where the ambient is more pro-
pitious to the total rehabilitation of the
Indian. In the appointment of a ma
tional magistrate to properly conduct
the general education of the native,
the government is most Jealous.
Notwithstanding, as it Is we'll known
