One of the bulletins sent out by the Children's Bureau gives table by which mothers may check up on the health of their babies. The normal healthy baby has: A good appetite: absence of vomiting or reorganization; normal bowel movements; steady gain in weight; clear skin: bright, wide open eyes; alert. springy muscles; a contented expression; very lit- tale crying; quiet, unbroken sleep with eyes and mouth closed; no evidence of pain or discomfort q do not think of collie of a new baby is evidence of illness); con- stant growing in stature and in- telligence. -.
 Other points are.
 The soft spot at the back of the head closes in six weeks. The one at the top from 1-2 to ? years. Eye Color Changes
 Nearly all babies have blue eyes at birth, but the permanent color usually appears in the first few weeks.
 The baby usually begins to rec- ognize objects at about 6 to 8 weeks, and can focus his eyes on an object when about months old. He rarely sheds tears before this time.
 Hearing in the sense of know ing where the sound comes from does not develop until he is two months old.
 The baby learns to hold up his head when the body is supported during the fourth month.
 He laughs aloud at the third to fifth month.
 He reaches for toys and holds them from the fifth to seventh month.
 At z to months he usually can sit erect. and often creeps.
 During the ninth and tenth month he attempts to bear his weight on his feet and can stand without assistance at II to 12 months.
 Those First Steps
 He begins to walk alone in the twelfth or thirteenth month, and walks well alone at 15 to 16 months.
 At one year of age few little words are spoken. At the end of the second year he makes short sentences.
 This, of course, is a standard chart and all standards must all low for deviation. A sick spell of any length will sometimes retard regular development for a while.
 Then. too. there is difference in children. Girls usually talk be- fore boys. Sometimes babies walk at nine or ten months. Others are quite slow. No two are quite alike. If a baby, generally speaking. does not measure up to these fig- ures there may be need of doc- tors opinion.

You may be a little too thin. or a little too plump, but if you carry yourself as though you were at least a second cousin of princess your grace and graciousness will make up for the misa appropriated inches. Every now and then a poet breaks out with a rhyme about someone who walks in beauty. Anyone can do 1t. But it may take time. And 1t does require practice.
 If you want a pleasing posture, here are some exercises that will help you attain 1t:
 stand against a flat wall. Make sure that your heels, your but tocks, the blades of your shoulders and the back of your head tounch the wall. Now me1Gally count ten. Forget about your breathing. The thing that you are trying to do Is touch the wall with the small of your back. Of course you can't. But make a grand effort, and note the way the muscles respond.
 Count ten again and let your self. relax. Repeat this exercise four times.
 Keep your position by the wall. Imagine that book has been let down from the ceiling and attach co to the center of your head. Pretend that someone is pulling the rope. and you are being drawn

 Keep your shoulders. relaxed and forward. Let your arms swing toward the center, too. The old habit of throwing your shoulders back is neither graceful nor help ful. Besides, it throws you out of shape.
 Now, still houiding this position, walk across the floor. You will be surprised at the ease with which you are able to do 1t. Instead of withdrawing from life you are cul- tivating a posture that goes to meet 1t.

YOUR TEETH Their Relation to Your
 General Health
By the Educational CoH,ssittes of Ghs
 American Dental Associdtion
BAD TEETH ARE wAsTEFUL

We can learn a lesson in the children of the nation.
 estimated that the city spends s3,500,000 annually to educate peaters"-children who have to spend two years or more in the same grade, owing to failure. Sev- enty per cent of these repeaters are retarded by physical ailments. It Is estimated that at least 25 per cent of the failures could be pre- vented by curing dental disorders. Defective teeth, in other words, are costing Chicago taxpayers | $850,000 every year.
 These children with poor teeth fail because of absence from school, and decreased efficiency when they are in the classroom. Even through their teeth do not ache, infection | spreads from the teeth to other parts of the body, and cuts down on the amount of energy that the child would normally have. He therefore cannot concentrate on his lessons as he should, and fails. Often his health and mental effi- ciency are impaired for the rest of his life.
 School officials are able to esti- mate the loss to students because the children are grouped together in classes for long periods of time. Greater difficulty is found in esti- mating loss to adults. But the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany recently took the physical records of 1000 employees with good mouth conditions and 1000 with poor mouth conditions. En- ployes with poor mouth conditions showed a higher percentage of neuralagia, neuritis. headaches, nervousness, colds and abscesses. s.
 A large Chicago industrial plant examined 1855 patients with bad teeth who complained of other ail- ments. More than S2 per cent of the persons treated = 152 = were cured or relieved by removal of dential infections. General health was improved in nearly 75 per cent. Ailments included myositis, arthritis and chronic stomach trouble. Myositis Is an infiamma- ton of the musclar tissues.
 These facts indicate the harm that poor teeth can do to general health. But they cannot show the great financial loss that they can cause to adults. From the chil- dren's statistics in Chicago, we can see what loss Is caused by poor teeth among students. How much greater that loss must he to adults all of whom have greater responsi- bilities, and to many of whom time Is money.

Stop Hoarding; Let Your Money Work.
(New York Herald Tribune9


 Moderate declines in the prices of commodities and securities have little effect normally, the banking situation; but severe and continued reces sions by wiping out the margins which loans are secured, on the one hand, and by depreciating the value of the banks Investments on the other. are almost certain to induce widespread pensions Tn view of the fact that the prices of both commodities and secuiteis fell steadily from the middle of 1929 to late 1881 it is not surprising that this period was characterized by an unusual number of such closings The phenomenon particularly to have been expected in this instance it may be added from the fact that the price de- cline except in the of securities started from what had come to be regarded as a more or less stable level.
 wave of banking failures of this type is un- fortunate in it's right. It is douby unfor- tunate, however, in that it frequently brings as it's aftermath secondary series of failures which have nothing to do with price liquidation at all, but which purely the result of the state of public apprehension engendered by the original failures For the last few months have been witnessing just such a secondary phase of bank suspensions Depositors, dstrusful of their financial institutions, have withdrawn and hoarded their funds, and by sol doing have aggravated the very condition that actuated them to do SO They have, in one di- rection brought about the freezing of institutions that under normal conditions would have worked their way into liquid position and in another direction, they have compelled institutions to put themselves in such highly liquid positions that their usefulness as sources of credit to their communities has been. to put it mildly. seriously impaired The broad economic effect of this hoarding movement has been contraction of credit. which has acted as a continual depressant on prices and as brake on business activity
 President Hoover has chosen the proper time to point out, first the dangers inherent in the hoard ing process and second the importance to a revival of prosperity of reversing that process The period of liquidation of prices is past, there be mol question of that; and the Government with it's $2 0000 100000 Reconstruction Finance Corporation now has marshaled it's own financial forces with avowed determination to put end to bank fail ures. The time is here, if ever it was MT. Hoover says for the public to put it's dollars to work. Only through such process can we have recreation of the credit essential to begin- ming of trade revival

A FINE JUDICIAL APPOINTMENT.

Appointment by President Hoover of Benjamin N. Cardozo, now Chief Justice of the Court of Ap- peals of New York, to be Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court will bring to the nations highest tribunal a jurist whose commanding talents have long been recognized by the bench and the bar and by all students of American jurisprud- ence His elevation cannot be attributed to partisan political considerations It is due to his eminent qualifications
 Judge Cardozo will be the third New Yorker on the Supreme Court Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes and Associate Justice Harlan Fiske Stone being the two others and the second of Jewish faith, Asso- ciates Justice Louis D Brandeis being of that re- ngion Three Justices from one State, if not un- precedented is certainly unusual while two of the Hebrew persuasion, no doubt establishes new record.
 The recently appointed jursts party activities have never been of the aggressive type Eighteen years ago at the age of A, after having gained distinction as lawyer and as the author of several legal works, he was designated Judge of the Court of Appeals by Gov Martin H. Clynn, Demo- crat and three years later was similarly honored by Gov Charles s. Whitman, Republican. Since then Judge Cardozos tenure has resulted from popular ballot His term would have expired in 1940, and his annual salary of $22500 is S2O00 in excess of what he will get the Federal bench.
 Judge Cardozo received his literary and legal edu- cation at Columbia University His brilliant achieve ments as a lawyer and his clear exposition and practical application of the law jurist have brought honorary degrees from the Universities Of Michigan, New York. Yale and Harvard.
 In the principle that human rights para mount to property rights, Judge Cardozo will be a worthy successor to Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes retired Under Judge Cardozo, the New York judic- iary system has been permeated with the spirit Of liberalism. In the Federal Court he will join the liberal group Hughes, Brandeis, Stone and Owen J. Roberts, and continue in the future as always in the past the advocate and exponent of free speech and free press of the rule of the majority and of mercful justice
 Scholar and philosopher, Judge Cardozo pos sesses in marked degree the qualities essential to mental progress and intellectual eninenceskeptieism toward his strongest convictions and reluctance to take himself too seriously. His presence is sure to enhance the fame of the worlds most august tribunal.

An Open Mind.
CNew York Times

MT. William S. Ware, master or the Philadelphia machine declaring his purpose to be a candidate for delegate-at-large makes this modest observa- tion
 If I am elected, I will be elected as a
 non-pledged candidate and will go to the
 convention with an open mind.
 In 1928 MT Ware opened his mind and lips at exactly the right time and leaped upon the Hoover bandwagon with a suddenness and an energy that won instant glory. It is not to be assumed that his benignant warmth has been chilled Politics is a science. Its rules must be followed If MT. Ware and his friends are to do something for MT. Hoover he must do something for them. By virtue of the right of selection and appointment inherent in his powers and privileges as boss, MT. Ware named a man to fill vacancy on the Federal district bench.
 Attorney General Mitchell, still refractory in spite of the discipline to which he had to submit in at least two similar cases of them in Penn sylvania declined to perform what should have been la formal and automatic act. He wouldn't approve MT. Vare's judge. The President, busy in the present must have been little forgetful of the lpast. He accepted MT Mitchels recommendation and refused MT. Wares. It is natural that MT Ware should notify the President, with the utmost deicacy and urbane implication that an exchange of services is a duty of political friendships Do Ut des is rudimentary principle of Pennsylvania phil losophy. Upon that principle depends the theory and practice of rewards and punishments However MT. Ware is no severe professor He sketches airy the disnterested and impartial course the benevolent neutrality, to which the Keystone lcommitteemen are committed-at least provisionally May not time and riper thought bring MT Hoover to realizing sense of his sin against custom and the Pennsylvania proprietes? Though forced to begin little diplomatic manoeuving, MT Vares heart is in the right place. He is only waiting until his candidate for judge is also in the right place

Big Task Ahead

Many wearv hours of discussion in the smoke laden privacy of ex- ecutive sessions will be necessary before either party agrees on the economic blanks of it's platform.
 Volunteer firemen, and some pro- fessionals. are preparing to submit thousand and one schemes for .rescuing and permanently insuring prosperity. The Republicans must figure out just where to place the blame for the depression. The Dem ocrats must decide how heavily they can afford to lay it on in blaming the Republicans.
 A large slice of the country is asking that something definite be done about the oil industry The silver and copper people will de- mand blanks to bind up their wounds. The equalization fee, the debenture, and many other old friends and new acquaintances will raise their voices when farm re- lief calls the roll
 The platform makers are sure to hear bowling chorus of proposals about the unemployed. bank re- forms, taxes. wage scales. power trusts and the railroads
 Some of the resulting compro- mise blanks. if precedent rules, will be masterpieces of English which no dictionary can explain.
