DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

It may be disrable to try three
hour schedule, but it is seldom, if
ever, necessary to nurse an infant
at a more frequent interval.
Among the reasons cited by DR..
w. McKim Marriott as advantages
in favor of the four-hour interval
are the following: The infant is
hungry at the end of the four
hours; nurses vigorously and more
completely empties the breasts.
This helps to stimulate the pro-
duction Of milk. The stomach and
the intestines have a chance for a
rest between feelings. TIE infant
takes more food at a feeding and
sleeps longer following the feed
ing.
It is less likely 10 vomit than the
infant fed at two or three hour in
tervals. Finally, the long interval
gives the mother a chance for rest
and makes it unnecessarily for her to
spend all of her time with the baby.
Once schedule is adopted, it
should be followed closely. Some
times the infant who is fed every
four hours gets very hungry at the
end Of three and one-half hours,
especially when the infant has been
active or when the previous feeding
has been small.
In such cases, the infant should

" English poet and publicist,
was born in London.
He entered Cambridge at 16,
where he composed several, odes
and elegies. Shortly after his
graduation he went to his fathers
house at Horton. where for five
years he studied the classics.
After a tour of the continent,
Milton returned to England to find
it in a state of political unrest.
In the ensuing twenty years, IN
which the country was at war, he
wrote no poetry, but contributed
keen writings to the struggle.
After the execution of Charles
I, Milton issued a defense of the
deed and this led to other
pamphlets which gave him Euro
pean fame as controversialist.
When the Commonwealth was es-
tablished, Milton was appointed
secretary for foreign tongues to

The IL Per Cent Minority

Announcement that only 10 per cent of the daily
newspapers of the country definitely oppose American
ratification of the world court protocols will surprise
none but partisans blinded by their obstructionst
tactics. The American (Bok) Foundation, which made
the survey found that &c per cent of the daes ia
yored ratification, that 13 per cent opposed and that
the others were noncommittal
This probably is fair representation of public as
we'll as press opinion
Opposition to the world court deserves as much
respect as any other opinion sincerely held-even
though we, together with the vast ma orty of Amer-
cans, disagree with this particular opinion.
But there is no excuse for small minority how
ever sincere, trying to impose its views on the ma
jority That is what the minority obstruction in the
senate amounts to.
President Hoover as a very vocal advocate of
American adherence to the court not only should send
the protocols to the senate, but insist Oh a prompt
vote. That would help restore our reputation for in
ternational cooperation and by improving the inter
national situation would help regain some of our lost
foreign trade in time of serious depression

How the British Do IT

The British believe in being thorough even in
small matters 1t is surprising, therefore read
that they have clamped down on the menace of the
intoxicated automobile driver in way to indicate
that they mean business
Their new traffic regulations do away with all of
the old tests for drunkenness indeed it is not even
necessary to prove that the driver is drunk All the
police have to do is prove that he was driving with
enough liquor in him to make him incapable of
having the proper control Of his car Under strict
judge, very slight deviation from normal would
be enough to convict.
This is highly sensible The man who undertakes
to drive motor car along public highway has no
business in having one drink under his belt.
The British seem to have devised sensible law to
deal with the abuse.

Russia Aronses Snsnicion

Moscows Communication of the death sentences Of
the confessed counter revolutionary leaders will be
interpreted generally a frameup Throughout the
trial there was an appearance of a show staged for
its effect upon audience.
The very nature of the confessions themselves
created this impression. They were SO complete and
sweeping The defendants seemed to be trying de-
liberatey to convict themselves OF course it is not
unusual for guilty persons, under the drive of
morse, to make clean breast of things. But these
men did it with an exceptional show of zest and
confidence. rare in men facing firing squad.
Then the details of the confessed plot fit like
pieces OF chid's puzzle into the standardized pic
ture of the alleged world plan to overthrow the
Soviets. It all was so devastatngly logical in
world which is rarely logical.
Finally. the confessions and the dramatic trial
we're precisely what the Soviet government needed
to strengthen the morale of population beginning
to feel the strain of the effort and sacrifice which
are achieving the life-or-death 1ye-year plan.
These men we're not executed quickly and quietly
as others have been. Instead, 1t arranged for
them to tell their stories to all Russia through the
medium of motion pictures and radio.
So 1t looks as though the Soviet government de
berately planned the trial and communication of death
sentences on the theory that this perfect home
propaganda weapon was worth infinitely more to the
government than the death If the conspirators.
We say that appears to be the explanation, but
we do not say it is the truth. The actual facts of
the case are not known, and probably will not be
for g long time.
But regardless of whether Moscow turned the con-
LESSONS to ganda use and prearranged the COM
mutations it remains true that there have been
proved ter-revolutionary plots inside and out
side of Russia.
There certainly is no reason to doubt that these
engineers were guilty. And it is not improbable that
the czarst counter revolutionsts living in Paris and
other European capitals co-operated in this plot just
as they participated in at least four other major at
tempts at foreign military intervention against the
Soviet government.

Doctors Differ on Nursing Technic

not be allowed to cry for half
hour, but should be fed a little
ahead of time. The next feeding
should, however, be given at the
regular period.
Some infants obtain all they
need in ten minutes, some require
fifteen or even twenty. Little milk
is obtained, however, after the first
ten minutes. Healthy babies nurs-
ing from both breasts certainly
should not sure longer than ten
minutes at each.
The child who nurses long time
at the breast swallows lot of air
which is regurgitated and which
sometimes is associated with vomit-
ing and collie.
1t usually is best for the mother
to sit up while the baby is nursing,
and the infant may be held in a
semi erect posture.
Before nursing, it should be held
upright over the mothers shoulder
and patted On the back until any
swallowed air is belched up and the
same procedure must be undertaken
after the nursing.
Some babies swallow air much
more than do others. In such
case, the infant may be held over
the shoulder at occasional inter
walls during the feeding to permit
1t to get rid of the swallowed air.

What PurpoSe2

DUT before they are abolished
II wish to satisfy by curiosity on
a few small points. What are spats
for? What are they supposed to do?
How do you get them on? or Off?
Joe Robinson undoubtedly will
fight for his spats. He is not a man
content to sit in silence while under
attack. It is my guess that he will
tell the good people Of Arkansas that
spats are nothing more than mud
guards, and mud is the chief prob
lem of Arkansas.
1t is to Arkansas what the boil
weevil is to Texas or the traffic jam
to New York.
But if the senator advances any
such argument, it should be quickly
riddled by the freedom loving folk
of his own community. The mere
circulation of photograph of Joe
Robinson in spats should provide a
sufficient answer.
No such flimsy continuance could
be of the slightest avail against the
gumbo of Arkansas bottom lands.
Does the senator pretend that his
are specially prepared spats which,
under his concealing trouSer leg, go
all the way to the knee? And even
If this were true, when did he get
to be too good for Arkansas mud? It
was good enough for his father and
