@. What is the course Of the de-
velopment of baby in the first
year?
A. The first year in a baby's life
is probably the most important, be-
cause during this period the baby
grows fastest and undergoes the
remarkable develoment that trans
forms him from helpless being in
to an infant who laughs, plays,
stands, and tries to talk. Not only
does baby grow a great deal dur
ing this year, but he, also learns a
great deal. He learns to seat and
sleep at regular times and to eat
a number Of new foods, to hold up
his head, to sit, up, to stand, and
possibly to walk; he learns to
handle objects, 60 reach for them
and pick them up; to know wha var
ious things around him are used
for, such as spoon, cup, bed, ball,

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN
TREATMENT OF ARTHROSIS

ANA1rA - AtAkfkN = OE 9AABA AAAeW0A0
One thing that becomes more and
more obvious as the spirit Of medi-
cal ethics recoils before the machi-
nations of the politicians who have
gained control of the A. M. A. is
the exploitation Of medical societies
and medical journals by commercial
interests. This racket has attained
such development in recent years
that one can no longer rely on the
reports made through the medical
society meetings or the current med
ical journals. It is necessary to sift
everything carefully In order to de-
termine how much self-exploitation
on the part Of the doctor announcing
the discovery has to do with 1t and
how much the commercial aspect of
the introduction of the treatment
may be concerned.
Sometimes one can get a modicum
OF uncensored, unbiased information
directly or privately by personal
communication with the doctor
whose experience qualities him to
Judge the value Of treatment.
Such physician in charge Of the
arthritis ward in a large hospital
sees six hundred arthritis patients
year. He has had considerable
experience with sulfur compounds,
vaccines, bee venom, serums, vari-
GUS salts that have been promoted
as efficacious, and the massive dose
vitamin D treatment. He has or
tanned the best results with the mas
sive dose vitamin d treatment.
Patients receiving treatment take
a minimum of 100000 units Of vita
min D daily the first month or more
either four teaspoonfuls of vitaynin
d in oil, or four capsules each con-
tanning $4,000 units.
Some other methods of treatment
are thus Judged by H. M. Margolis,
M. D., and v. w. Eisenstein, M. D.,
Of Pittsburgh:
+, Coloidal sulfur-without rationale
and without effect.
Vaccines-apparently losing hold.
Fever therapy--results only tram
STORY.
Sulfanilamide- condemned for use
in arthritis.
Gold salts-promising but at pres
ent dangerous. These physicians
conclude there is no royal road to
the successful treatment of arthritis.
A well rounded medical management
tempered with sound clinical, judg-
ment, must still prevail as the best
therapeutic regimen. "

How discouraging when you'de like
TO play tennis well. to be always
missing balls, to appear the Incur
able dud!
But cheer up! BY practicing with
the right instructions you can i'm
prove your form, learn to play a
top-notch game.
When balls are missed or
,"foozled," the trouble often is poor
footwork. Never turn end run at
a ball unless you cannot reach 1t
otherwise. You many end UP off
balance, with feet tangled.
To keep balanced, in position
from which you can hit hard and
accurately, learn to "two-step" to-
ward the ball.
Suppose your opponents shot is
coming toward your forehand, a
little ahead Of you. Step forward
with your left foot always ahead,
your right foot dragging after =
as our diagram shows.
If the shot were coming to your
backhand you would 'two-step" to-
ward 1t In the same way, but with
the right foot leading.
Other phases of tennis are as
simple to master-and you can
make a hit this summer with your
fast accurate game. Our 32-page
booklet by George Agutter teaches
the serve, forehand, backhand, lob,
volley, cut strokes. Gives expert
advice on footwork, tactics practic-

Machine-age Cowgirls Cant Ride Horse,
But Aboard a Bucking GaS-buggy -Yippe-e-e!
BY RUTH MILLETT

Two Of the prettiest cowgirls In
wild and woody New York can't ride
and don't even own q horse. But
boy, they can wrangle bucking,
snorting, automobile in q way that
makes visitors to Jimmie Lynch,s
show in the Goodrich arena at the
Worlds Fair sit up and take notice,
These machine-age cowgirls are
Jacquelihe Boddie Of TeXarkana
Tex, who is l7-going-on and
Betty Middleton of Brooklyn, who
at 10 is beginning her fourth ca
reer.
Betty has been secretary, has
sung with an orchestra, and has
been q professional model. She still
takes modelling jobs on her day of
from lodging DEATH"
She says that jumping an auto
mobile off ramp beats all the
other jobs she has tried for lack of
dizziness.
TALKED HERSELF
INTO THE JOB
Jacqueline can't compare lodging
death with any more sedate work,
for this is her first Job after getting
out OF high school. She had been
applying" for the job for years,
for her uncle is the man who runs
the show.
He never thought much Of having
girls doing stunt driving and never
hired any until his ambitious niece
talked him into 1t.
Now that he has two feminine
death dodgers" he doesn't see why
he was so prejudiced before.
The girls can't explain why they
love doing their far-from-routine
job.
But love 1t they do.
So much so the two Of them are
trying to persuade their boss to let
them go on the road In show Of
their own when the Fair closes this
fall. =.
1.-THE reason it Is so much fun"
they finally explained, sis because
you never know what Is going to
happen. A wheel might come of
or the car might roll over. You
have to be on your toes every min
ute, and that is exciting. Then.
too, as soon as you manage one
trick, you start right in learning
another. We're working on two
new ones right now"

IT'S A WOMAN'S
WORLD
BY JUSTIN REESE

"Of Thee Sing, BABY, the
theme song Of an outstanding
musical comedy Of some years
back has become the theme shong
of that political team, Taft and
Taft.
North, West, South and East,
In the mines, fields, and shops,
at milady's tea, at political smok-
err, or even on a soap box,
Martha Bowers Taft is expornd-
ing the virtues Of her husband
Robert, candidate for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination.
Never before in the history Of
American electioneering has
such q team performed. One
might 90 so far as to ask, Who
: Is the candidate, Robert or
Martha?"
The candidate is Robert AL
phonso Taft, United States Sena-
tor from Ohio and the son Of the
only man who has held both the
Office Of President Of the United
States and that Of Chief Justice
Of the Supreme Court. Martha is
his campaign manager, at least
that is what she appears to be.
Owing to a natural reticence,
Bob endeavors to refrain from
mixing with "hoi polloi." Martha.
however, more than makes up for
this.
Martha's personality makes her
natural spotlight stealer. She
has stolen the spotlight at so
many affairs that managers Of
rival candidates bitterly gnaw
their dentures everytime she Is
scheduled to appear at open
meetings.
Martha Taft makes no bones
about being proud Of her husband.
For the past year she has been
on trans continental marathon,
speaking, extolling, and praising
Bob to the skies. She has been
going into this so heavily that her
travelling has almost caught up
with Eleanor Roosevelfs.
Martha's ancestors include JON
athan Edwards, famed colonial
minister; Timothy Dwight, pres
ident Of Yale University; and
Thomas Wilcox, chief justice Of
Minnesota. Her father was Lloyd
Bowers, the solicitor general in
Tafts cabinet.
Martha and Bob met each
other at White House social and
it was love at first sight. Their
romance blossomed out from
secret engagement to a wedding
that thrilled the country.
Looking at Martha you would
never think that she is the
mother of grown-up children. She
could easily pass for the II want
you to meet my sister" type.

have to be a Republican to agree

HOOVER CITES
RELIEF NEEDS

MITTEE POLAND SITUA-
TON IS SERIOUS
(By Associated PreSs)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 30. -
Former President Herbert Hoover
testified before a joint Congress
sional committee investigation
today on the relief needs of Eu-
rope, and stated that, in his
opinion, there was an immediate
need for aid to approximately T.
100000 Polish refugees who were
without proper food and clothing
as result of neglectful tactics in
rationing provisions of Nazi
agencies.
The occasion marked the first
time Hoover had appeared before
"a Congressional committee since
1928, when he was a presidential
candidate, then Secretary of
Commerce.
From $40,000,000 to $50,0O0,00O
would be needed to keep ref
ugees of Europe alive, was Hoo
ver's estimate Of needs for the
immediate present. He also de-
clared that Europe would be a
Starving spot" in the world
after the war, and asked that the
United States start preparations
for that condition now.

and gain their impression of the
business community by the head
quarters.
Key West is progressive. It
must have an organization to
