XXTHEN the child is born it con-
w Stitutes from the very first
moment a problem TO which every
one of the specialists concerned must
give attention
Proper nutrition may mean the
avoidance Of innumerable diseases
Nursing by the mother gives to the
infant not only the energy values
OF food, but also substances con-
cerned with resistance to disease.
Artificial feeding is successful in
many cases; indeed, in some in
stances, more successful than feed
ing by the breast.
But the vast majority Of babies
still thrive better on human milk
and it is important that they have
this tactical fluid as, one might say
their constitutional right.
The behaviorists have discoV-
cred that habit formation begins
very early in life. The child cries
because it wants attention. If the
parents yield to the cry, the de-
mand for attention becomes a habit
The child learns remarkably
quickly how easily it can dominate
its fond parents, and, like all ty-
rants, it loves to exercise it's power
Perhaps the following poem OF
advice to a Baby" by James j
Montague, copyrighted by him and
reprinted by special permission OF
the Chicago Daily News, expresses
the idea better than any scientific
document:
Wrinkle your forehead and pucker
your nose,
Prove you've a will Of your own
Hammer the Grip with your pink
little toes,
Whenever they leave you alone.
Their bullying spirit you soon viii
subdue,
If only you lie there and cry,
For they are just flesh and blood
creatures like you,
And you'll get on their nerves by
and by.
Bid fear of these clustering grown
up avaunt:
If you howl long enough you will
get what you want.
Why take a nap when you'd far
rather play;
Even if some babies do?
Mother and father don't sleep when
it's day;
Why in the dickens should you?
Struggle and squirm when they
tuck you in bed.
Founder and wriggle about.
Yell till your small pudgy face is
bright red,
You'll presently weary them out
From close observation you'll learn
by degrees,
If you howl long enough you car
do as xpu pleased

program Of life, child who realizes

SCIENCE
Life Probably EriSts on Mars
and Venus, Astronomers
Believe.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

and Venus, Astronomers
Believe.
DRESENT-DAY astronomers are
L inclining more and more to the
opinion that life probably exists on
both Mars and Venus.
A century ago, when big tele-
scopes Just we're beginning to reveal
details OF the solar system, it was
popular to regard the entire solar
system as the abode Of life.
Some astronomers even went SO
far as to postulate the existence Of
creatures who could Withstand the
heat of the sun and the cold Of the
moon.
But with development of better
observing apparatus soon it was seen
that such a view was unreasonable.
The sun, for example, was shown to
be a seething cauldron Of white
hot gases, with a surface tempera-
ture of 10000 degrees, Fahrenheit.
Then came the day Of extreme
peSsinism. Astronomers felt certain
that there was no life in the solar
system except OH the earth. Many
even went so far as to say that our
earth perhaps was the only inhab-
tied globe in the universe.
Today, perhaps, the pendulum Of
opinion is swinging toward a more
reasonable view. The present opin-
ion is that while conditions in the
solar system generally are unfa-
vorable to life as we know it, condi-
tons may be all right on Venus and
/ Mars.

Do We Want a Dictator2

~ ~ ~ SNAtS ~ DiOINNI Oi T.
CENATOR WALSH of Montana
~ says that the reason people
find so much fault with congress
is that they want a dictator. AS
Stunning he's right, for the sake OF
argument, what has caused the
people to want a dictator? Why
were such Presidents as Wilson and
Roosevelt so popular?
The people like to see things
done, especially when things need
to be done. They can forgive the
mistakes of effort much easier
than those Of inertia. When wal
or a depression is on, they rather
would see dollars Squandered in an
honest endeavor to end it than
pennies saved in some unimportant
matter while the general agony
continues.
Whatever else may be said of the
people of this country, they are
positive in their attitude. They
want to carry on, get things behind
them, and be ready for the next
job. What inks them with con-
gress is its inability to cover ground
unless driven to act by a chief
executive whom it recognizes as its
master.

peal to Posts.

There is no greater responsibility In
the American Legion than the aiding
of veterans out of work and in want,
A. B. Kapplin of Duluth, state Legion
employment chairman, has told men,
bers of the 478 American Legion posts
of Minnesota.
This most important call to service
is now being made" he says, land
every Legionnaire must answer it i'm
mediately. Your department employ
ment committee is at your service and
your entire Minnneota Legion is pre-
pared to aid in solving unemployment
this winter. The situation is serious
for hundreds of our comrades and their
families"
Chairman Kapplin suggests that
each Legion post:
l. Organize to meet the local COM
munity unemployment problem.
2. Create a local community chest
from which to distribute help to the
needy, whether veterans or not.
8. Sponsor local campaigns for the
immediate construction of public build
ings and public works so that men out
of work may be given jobs.
4. Establish either a Legion or a
community employment bureau.
5. Urge home owners to give part
time jobs. Launch 'job-a-week' cam
paign to develop odd jobs for those
who need them.

COLU Testing Prevents
CrippLing of Children

Where are the hunchbackS, the twisted
spines among little children, that ap-
peared so frequently in the pictures
and the stories of the last century?
They have almost disappeared"
says a weekly bulletin of the Mime
sofa State Medical Association, land
for this blessing we have to thank
not the physicians, but the veterinarians
who have pushed their program of
tuberculin testing of cattle. and the
milk dealers who pasteurize their milk"
Tuberculosis of the bones and joints
and of the lymph nodes at the side of
the neck is nearly always of bovine
origin" say sthe bulletin. THAT is, it
has come through milk from tubercul-
GUS cows. Twenty years ago the hos
pitfalls for crippled Children were full of
children with twisted, bumped backs
that were characteristic manifestation
of this bovine infection. Now the
number of these children has dropped
to a minimum.
I'm some places where veterinarians
have brought about an almost COM
plete control of tuberculosis among
cattle through the tuberculin test, not
enough cases of the characteristic
bovine infection appear to teach medical
students and nurses what they should
know about the dieease.
The recent trouble in Iowa between
a group of farmers and the State
Veterinarians was laid to mischevious
and uniformed propaganda against
which farmers everywhere should be on
their guard, say these Minnesota
physicians.
I'm the important question Of cattle
testing, says the bulletin, "the testi-
mony of the stock and veterinary ex-
perts of the University Agricultural
College as well as of medical experts
should be weighed with the rrespon-
sible statements of fanatics. To
abandon cattle testing, now, would be
to slip back twenty-five years in the
control of human suffering and dis
ease"
