that of the bottle-fed child.
If he is suffering from an in
sufficient amount of milk, he
will, of course, present the same
picture as the breast-feeder who
doesn't get enough. That is to
say, he will be irritable, will cry
a lot, will vomit occasionally,
largely because of this crying,
and will have fewer than nor
NAL bowel and bladder move
ments, and he will not gain
weight. When these symptoms
present themselves, just call
your doctor and he will pre-
scribe a formula of whole or
condensed milk to provide the
needed nourishment.
If the child is getting too
much to eat, he will probably
leave some of his meal in the
bottle; he will gain weight very
rapidly, vomit often, and have
frequent movements of bowels
and bladder. Here, again, the
doctor should be asked to advise
a proper feeding.
Just here 1 have a word to
say to mothers who are feeding
their babies by the bottIe-ab-
Solute cleanliness is essential.
Everything about the feeding
apparatus should be thoroughly
sterilized. The mother should
wash her hands with utmost
care before giving the feeding.
When your baby is feeding, sup
port the bottle for him. An
other thing, be sure the nipples
have the right size opening, for
if the aperture is too big, the
baby eats too rapidly and he be-
comes i'll. If the aperture in
the nipple is too small, then the
child gets discouraged with all
the hard work he has to do to
get his nourishment, and he
stops trying.
Another important sanitary
rule with bottle-fed babies is to
keep the flies away from every
thing. I believe if we could
eliminate flies a great many
diseases, such as diarrhea,
would almost disappear. Just
to show you how these flies will

Mind you, this was in spite of

Perhaps you've been too de-
voted, and the young lady has
become tired and wants a little
variety. Why don't you stay
away for a week or so, in which
case she'll wonder if you are
becoming interested in someone
else. When you see her again,
be gay and friendly, but do not
assume too affectionate an at
titude. I believe she takes you
too much for granted, and q
little indifference might get her
attention.

Plunger
By BAB LINCOLN

OTORIES of the career
y women who bravely
made a start on two hun
dred dollars borrowed capt.
tai and paid it all back in
five years are frequent
enough.
1t isn't often you hear of a
woman who plunged right in
and borrowed thousands and
paid it all back in a year
and a half.
That, in short, is the tempo
which set Dorothy Hodgkin Dor
sey, impreSario, on the road to
success under her own flag.
Three Generations
HaUe Lived Here
Dorothy Dorsey is a Wash
ington girl, the third generation
of her fathers family to live out
Mt. Pleasant way.
AS a girl she attended Cen
trail High, and naturally enough
became secretary to her aunt,
Katie Wilson, Green, whose name
is synonymous with music in
the National Capital.
For those who don't know or
can't remember, Katie wilson
Green pioneered music recitals
in Washington as far back as
1905, when she presented Nor
dica to a society audience at the
National Theater-an audience
which, by the way, included
President Theodore Roosevelt.
Mrs. Dorsey had been with
her aunt more than a dozen
years before her death in 1882.
She knew all about where the
talent came from and what it
cost to get it. She knew about
the palpitatnig heartbreak of
artists suddenly becoming i'll
and canceling at the last mo-
ment.
She knew about competition,
and that the figures at the gate
must exceed the pay roll back
stage. With her aunt she had
worked and travelled, had wor.
ried and laughed, so it was
with her eyes vice open that
she took a big plunge and
started out for herself.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
The Four Aces will be pleased

If you pay a visit to Panama, you
may find it interesting to explore
the valley of the Chagres River.
There you will find forests of
strange looking trees.
Candle trees make up those for
ests. They bear waxy-looking fruit
in the shape of large candles! The
candles" are from 2 to 4 feet long.
The people of Panama do not use
the fruit for candles, but they find
1t of value. 1t contains rather
large amount of oil and makes good
food for cattle. Some persons have
said they taste an "applelike" flavor
when they eat the flesh of cattle
which have fed on this fruit.
Sometimes the candle tree fruit is
pressed for oil. The oil can be
placed in lamps and used in place
of kerosene.
The true candle tree is native
only of the republic of Panama
Mexico has tree which is related
to the candle tree, but the Mexican
tree has fruit shaped more like Gu
cumbers than candles. The cucum-
ber-shaped fruit is eaten by Mex
leans.
Now and then we may hear the
wax myrtle called a candle tree"
but it is of quite different family.

boiled the wax rises to the surface
and can be SKINNED off. One peck
of berries will yield.a pound of wax.
The wax can be made into can
dies. There is a legend that good
fortune will come to a family which
burns a wax myrtle candle at Christ
mas time.
The name "tallow tree" has been
given to trees of several kinds, but
the tree which seems to have the
best claim to it is a native of China.
1t has long leaves which turn red
as winter comes on. Like the wax
myrtle, 1t yields wax which is good
for making candles. Tallow tree
wax also goes into making soap with
the odor Of balsam.
Chinese tallow trees have been
planted in Georgia and the Caro-
linas, also in the West Indies. In
these places they have grown with
such success that they might be
mistaken for native trees.

Walsh Fights Arms
Embargo Repeal as
Ship Plan Studied

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. CUP)-
Chairman David I. Walsh, D., Mass,
of the naval affairs committee, told
the senate today that repeal of the
existing ban on arms shipments to
belligerents would be tragic" and
might involve the United States in
the European war.
simultaneously, assistant Repub-
lican leader Warren r. Austin, of
Vermont, a proponent of arms en-
barge repeal. introduced an amend
ment to the bill which would sus-
pend the whole neutrality program
whenever peace was restored in
Europe.
We who are against repeal are
primarily opposed now to a parade
of war weapons from America to
Europe Walsh said. because we
never again want to witness the
parade of dying and MANNED Amer
ican youths that emerged from the
war from Europe to America
Walsh shouted that instead of
pleading here in the Senate for
traffic in arms or war profits, we
should be militantly resisting every
possible step that will lead to traf-
fic in human lives-the youths Of
America"
Wash said the conclusion must
be reached that if the present en-
barge is "unneutral to one side,
lifting it is unneutral to the other
Walsh carried on the isolation

posed new neutrality law as adj
ministration leaders sought to soil

to abandon controversial provisions
giving the president discretion to
grant 90-day credits to belligerent
purchasers of American-made mu-
nitionS.
With the sting removed from the
credit controversy, the administra-
ton turned to study of proposed
notifications of drastic restrictions
on the American merchant marine

Treasury Sells
Gold TO Brazil in
Diplomatic Move

WASHINGTON. Oct. II. (UP)-
The treasury has sold $1,000, 900
worth of gold TO the Brazilian gov
ernment to stabilize exchange be-
tween the two countries, it was des-
closed today.
The federal reserve bank of New
York, it was learned, has been ne
gotiating with the Brazilian govern
ment for several weeks. The nego-
tiations grew out Of the agreement
reached between Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr.,
and the Brazilian finance minister
in July 1897.
Under that arrangement, the
Brazilian government was at liberty
to purchase gold in any amounts at
any time it so desired up to 500
100000.
The agreement was designed to
stabilize exchange conditions be-
tween the two governments.
