Don't Rush Yet, Girls

TT has even been pointed out that there is no legal
= reason why he should not marry an American GIRL
preferably from an old jamestown certainly an
old Virginia family.
Lest this suggestion start an uncomfortable and
eventually disastrous boom in old Jamestown and
Virginia estates, with their rolling acres and slave
born buffers doddering around under the weight of
trays of jueps, will add that this idea is not being
promoted very seriously. 1t is just a thought but
legally feasible nevertheless There is yet suf-
cient justification for the best families of Montana
Boston and the Bronx to plunge into Virginia estates
and teach their daughters to talk southern and
gard "damyankee' as word, and maybe nothing
will come of it.

on fat ones and scrawny ones and on innumerable
girls of all the cassifcations in between and he has
done much heavy duty showing and hauling az

freight of romantic feminnity around the bathrooms
of many nations.
The talk which is heard every side in London
today bespeaks an implacable determination to
break down his resistance and marry him Off The

picture is that it wasn't that at ALL Roosevelt had
been posing for birthday pictures before battery
of news caneramen. For some minutes light bulbs
had been flashing in his face until he became almost
blinded When he removed his glasses to rub his
eyes an alert photographer snapped his shutter
and discovered he had one of the most remarkable
pictures ever taken of Roosevelt which you
probably will see many times long after you have
forgotten the accidental circumstances under which
it was taken.
POLITICAL parade: Instead of announcing his
Il presidential candidacy directly, Gov. Landon of
Kansas said that hereafter he would use his chris
tened name OF Alfred instead of the familiar ALT
which he adopted for his official signature after he
got into state politics.
Although Smith was known Al for many years,
some newspapers during the 1928 campaign, insisted
upon using Alfred, feeling that the less dignihed
nickname might be open to objection when applied
to a presidential candidate
In answer to those who call Roosevelt Com
munist some Administration friends are pointing to
the recent critical book by Mauritz Hagreen, called
THE Gay Reformer" the burden of which is that
Roosevelt is nothing but pleasant capitalist who is
trying to the old order and if the old order is
too dumb to it the revolutionsts ought rot let
him fool therii.
Gov Landcn's keynote speech has been widely
praised and his radio delivery widely criticised.
Broadcasters tried months ago to give him coach
to improve his microphone style, but bandon
wouldn't consent He preferred to go on the air as
is and let the squeaks fall where they may.
Senator L. j. Dickinson of Iowa is supposed to be-

NEUTRALITY legislation is encountering more
v trouble just now from italian Americans"
than from munition makers. Voters of Italian

anxious Italian business men are to revive trade
with the United States. They're even talking ABOUT

Mothers who have to feed babies @rtificially will find, on the market, many prepared mixtures of milk and sugar.
 Many of these--malted milk and eweetened condensed milk, for in- gtance-have Q very high sugar con- tent, but insufficient protein. If you feed such preparations to your baby, 1t is likely to grow rapidly and be fat, but will not be as healthy as the infant fed with proper amounts of protein.
 Tn most instances, artificial mix lures initiate human milk, but some of them provide, in addition, nc e:essary vitamins and mineral salts which may be deficient in human milk.
 With most artificial mixtures, 1t is merely necessary to add water in specified amounts. Artificial mix lures, incidentally, are slightly more expensive than formulas prepared at home.
 Tn artificial milk mixtures, at least two ounces of milk are requir- cd for each pound of body weight in n4 hours.
 Artificial feeding may begin when your baby is quite young, or at the pnd of weaning.
 By the time the baby is. taking Q quart of milk a day other foods should gradually be added, 50 that more milk is unnecessary.
 Here are some simple sugges- tions in artificial feeding which mothers and nurses generally should follow:
 The baby should have D ienty of water.
 At each feeding, 1t should take two or three ounces of material more than its age fin months. It is seldom desirable, however. to give the little one more than seven ounces of the mixture at feeding, At any age.

EvERYBoDY's SANITATION

EvERYBODY's SANITATION
 A medical colleague writes:
 I have noticed that a great many people spit all over the streets and sidewalks, apparently not consider ing it bad manners and unsanitary. As the day goes on, undoubtedly, other people walk on this sputum, spreading contamination from shoe to shoe.
 Another thing I notice frequent. ly IS that individuals sneeze and cough into other peoples faces at close range.
 What is your opinion of people who use the same knives and forks when eating, also the same cup or glass for drinking?
 Your clever articles reach Q null titude of people, and I know they are extraordinarily beneficial. However, I realize that important things must be repeated many times.
 The maners of the matter are outside of my province.
 I can't get excited over the possi- bility of the spread of disease from the practice of splitting on the side- walk. Tn fact doubt whether any disease is spread in that way.
 Sneezing or coughing open-face (that Is, without troubling to cover or mask nose and mouth) when other persons are within spray range, is in my opinion @ prolific means of spreading whatever in- lection you happen to have or hap pen to be coming down with.
 But a still more important source of infection which the medical cor- respondent does not mention ct all is polite conversational spray--this probably accounts for ten times as much CRI (common respiratory in- fection) as does open-face cough or sneeze spray. Now and then, despite the teachings of our public health authorities, layman actually in- derstands that 1t is unfair to spray those around him when he is cofrl- ing down with cri, and even knows that conversational spray is quite as dangerous as open-face sneeze or cough spray, if the victim comes within range. Cough or sneeze spray has an effective range up to ten or twelve feet; conversational spray has an effective range of from two to Ave feet By range mean the distance from the face of the ailing one to the face of his victim; the distance of visible or invisibly fine droplets of moisture or secre. ton from nose. throat or mouth, germ laden, will carry. Remember, too, that in this mode of infection the virus or germs so carried will not have time to dry out or to be affected by exposure to sunlight, cold. oxygen (all of which are detri- mental to germ life). It reaches the mouth of the victim fresh. warm and virulent. As nearly ideal in. oculation as is conceivable, short of kissing.
 The common drinking cup like- wise holds no terrors for me. As c
