Holding the Child
By Robert BenchIey

under the arms should be dis
carded. The male relative should
get into the crib with the child,
and lie on his back (his own
back, taking the child on his
chest and rising to sitting pos
ture. Then call for someone else
to come and lift both father and
child from the crib at once.
In taking the baby from the
arms of someone else, as at the
christening or general family
gathering, grasp one of the
chiId's ankles firmly in the
right hand, tell the other per-
son to let go.
The child will then swing,
head down, from the other per-
sons arms, and can be twirled
in a semi-circle, in the manner
of an adagio dancer, until the
arc is completed, and the child
lands across the uncle's shoul-
der, the latter, if possible, still
holding firmly onto the ankle.
This will develop the child'S
leg, and give it poise.
For just ordinary holding, a
good bit of exercise can be
worked into a method whereby
the male relative holds the
child by both wrists and lets it
hang down in front of him,
swinging slowly back and forth
like a pendulum. 1t can then
be tossed high into the air and

Our Ships Keep Our Trade
By James 7. Williams, Jr

should carry "the greatest part
of our foreign trade" instead
of carrying as they do today
only one third of it. the United
States merchant marine would
be world factor to reckon with.
What is not easy to under
stand, and harder still to ex-
plain, is why Secretary Wallace
should have selected this par
ticular time to deal another
blow to reviving confidence by
advocating a reversal of eStab-
iShed A m eri C a n policy that
would torpedo the merchant
marine of his own country and
throw thousands of his fellow
citizens permanently out of
work and add to hardshipS OF
American farmers and Ameri-
can manufacturers and Ameri-
can Wage-earnerS.
There is no New Deal in the
Wallace policy but a return of
the old and raw deal before
the American people determined
to build up an independent mer-
chant marine of their own.
Before Secretary Wallace is
allowed to 60 any further with
his attack on our merchant
marine the American people
will naturally wish to know
whether he is speaking only
for himself or for the Admins
tration. Is Secretary Wallace
the only member of the Cabi-
net who is in favor of depriving
our merchant marine of any
further aid or is this also the
goal toward which Secretary
Hull is working in his tariff
negotiations with the British
and other maritime powers.
What Is Roper Stand?
And where does Secretary
Roper stand on this vital ques-
ton? Is he too engaged in the
making of plans to "plow
under" the merchant marine?
Is that why he refuses to 60
forward with his duties under
the JOneS-White act and foster
the development of our mer
chant shipping?
Before Seer e tary Wallace
starts for Europe on "a good
will mission; before he COM
mits this Government to the
sinking of our merchant marine
as "a good neighbor" gesture,
Secretary Dern and Secretary
Swanson should be given hear
ing on this subject. AS to the
vital need of merchant ships as
auxiliarieS to the Navy and as
transports for the Army, Mr..
Wallace has thus far been
strangely silent. This is per.
hapS understandable.
Everyone who knows Mr.. Wal
lace of Iowa knows no foreign
fleet could penetrate to the con-
fluence of the Des Moines and
Raccoon rivers where Mr.. Wal
lace lives when he is at home
and where he penned the edi-
torials calling for unlimited
subsidies to Iowa farmers which
started him on his way to a
seat in the Cabinet.

-Four hundred years ago today
a young French sea captain,
searching for Cathay, set foot
on Canada. And this very day,
at CharlottetoWn, Prince Ed
ward Island, that anniversary,
of such fascinating significance
to our neighbor to the north,
is being celebrated by notables
from all over the Dominion,
and from France as we'll.
1t is something, after all, for
a nation to come to its four
hundredth birthday, and sane,
sensible, solid Canada takes
immense pride in the obServ-
ance. For Cartier was the first
link in long chain of heroes,
French and English, who made
Canada what she is today.
Commanded by Francis I to
find out what might lie west of
Newfoundland and Labrador,
the ancient hope still being
cherished that still a little to
the west was the tabled land
of gold and jewels, Cathay, the
same will-o the -wisp which
guided the caravels of Colum-
bus, Jacques Cartier set out
from his home village of st.
Malo, on April 20, 1884, to
venture the perilous western
seas.
Sighting Newfoundland, near
Cape Bonavista, he followed
the coast southwark to a point
nearly opposite Cape Breton;
then turning westward he
reached Prince Edward Island
and what is now Charlottetown,
where the great celebration is
being held.
At Cape Gaspe he landed
and raised the royal flag OF
France, the golden lilies on the
white field, taking possession
of the country, as far west as
it might run, in the name OF
his master, King Francis.
The next year, with another
fleet, he came back and sailed
up the st. Lawrence. Leaving
his ships moored near the
Indian village of Stadacona,
on the site of modern Quebec,
Cartier pushed on into the
forest, to the fortified village
of Hochelaga at the foot of an
imposing hill which the ex-
plorer promptly named MT.
Royal. We know it under its
French name of Montreal.
He sailed for home, but came
again, for the third time, in
1541, proceeding up the st.
Lawrence and fortifying that
Stadacona which was to be-
come the great citadel of Que
bee, where Wolfe and Mont
calm fought it out eventually,
and where the lilies of France
were to droop before the lions
of England.
T. M. Longstreth gives us
fascinating glimpSes of this
founder of a great nation-of
a nation, indeed, which will
some day be the very heart and
center of the whole British
aggregation of nations. In his

Wise Words

Do not all that you can do;
spend not all that you have; be-
lieve not all that you hear, and
tell not all that you know.
Vice is the most dangerous
when it puts on the garb Of
virtue.
Experience without learning
does more good than learning
without experience.
Consider we'll before you do
the knot you never can undo.
Contempt of a man is the

Courtesy on one side only lasts
not long.
Good deeds live and flourish
when all other things are at an
end.
A friend to everybody is q
friend to nobody.
We are usually the best men
when we are worst in health.

Treating Prisoners
Another "Model" Discredited

Those who are perpetually striving to make the Ma
tonal Capital the subject of experiments in Government
would do we'll to ponder upon recent events at the Lorn
Reformatory.
THE LoRToN REFORMAToRY, 1T MIGHT BE
WELL TO REMIND WASHINGTONIANS, rs ONE OF
THE "MoDELs' UNLoADED UPON THE DISTRICT
WITH THE OBJECT OF SHOWING OTHER CITIES
HOW THEY SHOULD TREAT THEIR PRISONERS.
Now every few months sensational stories out of
the reformatory about attempted breaks, about whole
sale amng of the prisoners and about discomfort gener
ally.
Every day or two District officials issue heavy warn
ings that the thousand prisoners of the institution
are about to walk and descend upon the city for
orgy of crime. Not infrequently read of individual
prisoners or small groups calmly riding away from the
reformatorv in automobiles which have been left the
grounds by officials or visitors
All of these things very distressing and probably
dangerous.
The present condition is not be tolerated and very
properly efforts being made to obtain funds with
which to build a wall around the institution.
Congress and Federal officials freely criticised for
delaying construction of the wall and attempt is made
to blame conditions at the reformatory upon the lack of
adequate appropriations.
But should be fair about the prison without wall
II Chere is plane IN the premises IL TeSIs nOC W1CH
Congress and not with those who delaying funds
for building the wall 1t rests squarely upon those who
induced the District to build institution which is
not fitted for the purposes for which it designed
THE BLAME RESTS UPON THOSE WHO "sOLD'
THE CITY AND THE CONGRESS THE IDEA THAT
THOSE WHO TRANSGREsSED THE LAWS SHOULD
NOT BE PUNISHED FOR THEIR TRANsGREssIONs
BUT SHOULD BE GIVEN COMFORTABLE REST
FOR A SHORT TIME AT FARM ON WHICH THEY
WOULD NOT BE BIRDS IN A GILDED CAGE.
The institution has been less apty described
as the convicts' country club
The members, however, seem to be somewhat at odds
with the club management, with the culinary arrange
ments and with conditions generally
Possibly the difficulty would be solved by abandoning
Lorton and taking over of the modern and
commodous hotels in the city for the of the members
thus converting the country club into town club for
the winter.
The fact that the "model'' institution could
scarcely be taken model does not eliminate the
sity of getting wall around it as possible.
It simply emphasizes that necessity.
BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE RECORD 1T SHOULD
BE POINTED OUT THAT IDEALISTS AND NOT
BUDGETARY PENNY -PINCHERs ARE REsPONs-
IBLE FOR CONDITIONS AT LORTON AS THEY
EXIST TODAY
