Watch the baby in March. heard a young mother say to-day that all this talk of March was a silly superstition. Well, we have a lot of silly superstitions but March IS not one of them.
 What the climate Is in Rome now, I cannot say, or how It was when the Roman calendar went 1n- to effect, but I rather suspect that this rowdy old month came by US name honestly enough, because It certainly is on the warpath north of the equator and its godfather, Mars, could have wrecked little more desolation.
 Bluster is not its only weapon; 1t is tricky and undependable.
 And that Is why we have to watch the babies carefully both day eand night.
 We go to bed and flx the win dows-so. The stars are out ana the moon is rocking to a soft south breeze. We open the windows wide and go happily to sleep. During the night a cold wind from the north- west sweeps down and smothers the little soft southern breeze. This new wind Is icy and has a way or dividing itself up into million Paul Pry's and getting through every crack.
 There are drafts where there never were draughts before. walls and bedsteds that appeared to pc perfectly immune to all attacks during the winter suddenly become the storm center of a dozen winds. And the result is that the baby wakes up with a head cold. Ordinarily a little wind. If not too strong, will not be danger to a baby walking, riding or sleeping outdoors. A little wind. if the air is pure, and the baby is warm and protected, is not particularly harm full. It Is draughts we have to guard against during the year, floor draughts, wall draughts. and win dow draughts.
 March Winds Are Dirty But March is different. Wind is less innocent now for many req sons. The earth is drying and the accumulation of the winters dirt 1 Is mixed with 1t. Along comes the bellows of the March wind ana swoops toward the ground. Then It rebounds and carries on It's breath the filth of winter. This is particularly true of q town or city. If you take the baby out in his buggy. or if he sleeps on the porch. 1t Is an excellent ics,a to pus a thin and very clean veil over his face. ] It not only catches dust particles, but protect his eyes, and keeps his skin from chafing.

ing two tricks at the end, but mak- ing four no trump.
 When playing a hand at no trump, one must be more careful than when playing at a suit dec- laration because 1t is not possible to run off any of the opponents long cards. If they establish a suit you must be careful not to let them get into the lead. Take your illnesses away from the hand that has an established suit. Before playing to the first trick, study the hand and see whether 1t Is going to be advis- able or dangerous for you to win the first trick.
 The hold-up plays an all-import. ant part in the play of the hand at no trump and you must be care full to understand this particular play.
 In my next article I will show you a hand where the declarer attempted to employ the hoid-up.

 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart

Don't greet spring with a dirty
 face! Now I know you think you are keeping your face clean! But with the March winds blowing, just casual once-over morning ana night simply won't do the trick.
 Personally, I think there is noth- ing like good. bland soap and wa ter, plus wash rag, to get your face clean. Start with some cold cream. if you skin feels particu-
 larIy dry and taut and tired Cleansing cream will do if you aren't too dirty.
 Then wipe off all the dirt that you can, and you're probably con stantly surprised at how much comes off.
 Now start with your real wash ing. Use rather warm water. and scrub. Lather your wash cloth well and just dig in. Water itself merely
 slides over skin where sweat glands
 are active. Particularly after you've creamed your face, water slides
 even more. So it is your pleasant task to actually scrub your face particularly down those lines by the
 nose, corners of the mouth and under your chin.
 Rinse with clear water, and the
 wash cloth, after 1t has beer rinsed of it's soap. Then dash cold
 water over your face and pat youl
 checks with cold water until they | feel fresh and look 1t.
 Now use either little facial oi
 or fragrant face lotion. for you l 1 find that your powder won't stick | to such a smoothed surface al you have now achieved. And be fore you apply the makeup, bt
 sure you use a cream powder ba sis. It's the only way to keeI
 makeup on with March winds
 blowing. l When you have meticulousl, cleaned your face in this manner you'll find yourself much more oi ] tiptoe to greet spring.

COTTON STEADY
AND SLIGHTLY
HIGHER

NEW YORK, Jan. 8 0.N.SD.
Cotton futures today settled back
to dull trading pace with the
list maintaining q steady tone
around previous closing levels.
Commission houses and the for.
eign and domestic trade bought
on a small scale, while Liverpool
made limited purchases. Most CT
the offerings came from New o..
leans and the South. Wire firms
sold near months.
An increase of 100 per cent over
last year in fertilizer tag sales in
seven Southern States during De
cember, the total being $4,000
tons, against 10000 last year: "a.
900 in 1881, and $4,000 in 1890,
was of interest:
More open weather in the
South and the improvement in
cotton prices was saio to have in
creased offerings at some South,
ern points.
Futures around noon were up
l to 3 points. March up 5 at
$40, May up l at $50. July up
at 6.42, october up at $50, and

TRADING SLOW
IN BIC BOARD
STOCKS
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan. 6 GN.S0.
The quietness which descended
on the stock market following
the death of Calvin Coolidge yes
terday carried over into the
forenoon today.
Prices were firmer, aided by
the decision to balance the bud
get reached at the conference
here last night between PreSi-
dent-elect Roosevelt and Congress
Sional leaders.
Trading Pace Slow
Trading, however, was slow and
volume ran well under the total
of the last two days.
Rail stocks were aided by the
discussion of ways and means to
help the carriers at last nights
meeting. New York Central al d
Pennsylvania led the priced
rails while Union Pacific and
Atchison were outstanding in the
higher brackets.
There was some activity in the
motor stocks at rising prizes as a
pre.welcome for the opening OF
the annual auto show tomorrow
but gains we're small.
Allied chemical was the strong
est of the leaders, rising more
than a point on persistent de-
Inand.
Can a Strong Spot
American Can was another
strong spot. Other pivotal stocks
like u. S. Steel, American Tee
phone and Consolidated Gas
were firm.
Fresh strength in wheat stin-
ulated the farm stocks with Case
ThreShing going up easily against
the shorts. Commodity markets
were generally firm, while. bonds

Wholesale Foods
Start Year LOLUer

The wholesale food price index
compiled by Bradstreet's Weekly,
began the new year with drop
of l cent which brought it to
$l.63 on January 3. This decline
was sufficient to bring it below
the fall low point of $l.64
reached on November /, but it
Is still barely above the depres-
sion low of $1.61 to which it fell
last June.
A year ago. the index stood
at $l.S7. After correction for
seasonal variation, the adjusted
index declined from SIS to 51.2
per cent of the 1926-30 average.
This represents new low by a
slight margin on this basis.
