Crop Delayed
This, according to McDavitt's ad-
vice from the Cincinnati concern.

will delay the Florida crop and re-
duce its yield. Ordinarily, the

of more sweaters and coats does
not compensate for the failure to
keep the shoulders covered.
The experience of mankind has
led to an almost universal practice
in the matter of beds. Adults take
off all their clothes, put on a single
layer of thin cloth, and get into
an air chamber made by sheets and
blankets.
If this were not the best way to
keep warm, it would not be a gen.
eral custom. Adults do not put on
many layers of clothing and leave
the arms and shoulders out. Why
should the infant be dressed in
that way?
To solve this problem, many
methods of bed making have been
tried on private and hospital pa
tients. The sleeping bag seems the
best solution.
The one in use at present is a
piece of cloth folded to open in
the front, sewed across the top over
each shoulder, leaving four inches
for the neck. Tapes on the corners
tie to the crib rods.
The width of the bag is that of
the crib. It is somewhat longer
than the infant. The material is

The Milky Way
HOWEVER, the invention of the

HOWEVER, the invention of the
4 Il telescope introduced new
problem. The little telescope which
Calico first turned upon the heav-
ems in 1910 was capable of revealing
the existence of about 100000 stars.
1t also revealed the true nature of
the Milky Way.
To the unaided eye, the Milky
Way seems like a misty, family
luminous streak of cloud stretching
across the sky. But the telescope re-
vealed that the Milky Way was
vast aggregation of stars.
Each time that astronomers sue
ceeded in building a more powerful
telescope, it revealed more stars.
The faintest stars visible to the
unaided eye are known as sixth
magnitude stars. The faintest stars
visible in the 100-inch telescope at
Mt. Wilson, the largest telescope
now IL existence, are tWenty-first
magnitude stars.
1t is estimated that there are more
than billion stars within range of
the great Mt. Wilson telescope.
BY now, perhaps, the layman will
be ready to side with the poet. It
does begin to look as though the
stars were countless. The 200-inch
telescope now under construction
undoubtedly will reveal still more
stars. Is this not an endless process?
Astronomers think that the an
SWer is no.

up to or years of age.
He is free to kick and move his

This is the second of two articles by
DIR. Fishbein on the proper clothing for
infants.
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American Medical
Association and of HyReia. the Health
Magazine.
TN a consideration of the clothing
Il to be worn by the infant, DR..
Charles Hendee Smith points out
that the usual shirt, band, and pet
ticoat of wool often are too warm;
with the addition of slips, dresses,
sacqueS or sweaters, the number
of sleeves to be pulled on and off
is a problem for both the nurse
and the baby.
Except in quite cold weather, he
believes an infant does not require
more than one layer of wool for
purpose of warmth.
Doctor Smith emphasizes especial
ly the manner in which the infants
bed is made up. A bed made up
like that of an adult does not keep
the infant properly warm, because
the bedding rarely covers the arms
and shoulders and is easily kicked
off.
A visit to almost any hospital
ward will show several babies I'M
covered and chilled. The addition
