What Makes Baby Cry

The baby has only one vay u
signalling the outside world-cry-
ipg-and if it is hungry or dirty
or uncomfortable or frightened it
signals that way.
Hidden hunger is the only thing
to fear in the hunger category.
Mother should not put herself on
a spot by interrupting the regu-
larity of meals-or she will be
trotting half the time. But hidden
hunger due 20 insufficient breast
milk, or poor dairy milk, or lack
Of Vitamin ID and G (cod liver oil
and orange juice) is q possibility
even when the meals ere regular
and seem sufficient.
Uncomfortable Clothes
Uncomfortable clothes include
everything from the good old open
safety pin, to punches and wads
of clothing, to filth. The skin
should be carefully cleansed when
ever the diapers are changed or
there will be a skin rash, which
will sting every time baby urin-
ates. Keeping the diapers boiled
and wiping the skin with cotton
saturated in baby oil is the answer.
1t takes some time for the baby
to learn to roll over in bed. so it
remains in the position just the
way mother puts it. One position
gets tiresome to the baby as well
as to you. so the yells signal u
change-"Put me on my back or
stomach or side"
Fear-Babies are frightened by
noises and by the fear of falling.
When he is picked up suddenly or
lowered into the bath he reaches
for anything he can grab. In time
he gains confidence in his care
taker. A slamming door. u blast
from the radio, water running out
of the bath are beyond his COM
prehension and scare him. The
modern world is full of unneccs-
sary noises and the baby can't be
blamed for having a tough time
getting used to them.

am not mentioning some Of
the minor schools, such as the one
which holds that if the baby
doesn't quit squawking he or she
Will 20 crazy. To the members of
this school the baby's troubles are
secondary. 1t is the listeners
comfort that comes first.
There is something to be said
both for and against the idea of
each Of the major schools. A GER
tain amount Of crying is good for
the baby's respiratory system.
And against the soft boiled school.
the baby soon learns that when it
puts up holler mama will pick
Il up and wumpsy-dumpsy it, and
baby likes attention just as much
as you do; so its crying spells be-
come more and more frequent. 1t
is, in short. 20 be old fashioned, a
"cry baby"
Reasons Baby Cries
In general the baby cries about
a few very simple things:
Hunger.
Uncomfortable clothes.
Uncomfortable position in
bel.
Fear.
SickncSs-pain from teeth
ing or a bump-is the least
frequent Of all.

tions of the 1912 tax that is to be
paid March Is.
The taxpayer, however, may ap-
ply for an extension that would
allow him to pay only half of the
1912 debt this year, and the other
half on March Is, 1915.
Thousands of workers who never
before filed tax papers, including
many boys and girls, will do so this
year. While many did not earn
enough during the entire year to
pay taxes, their compensation for
summertime or after school jobs
was subject to Withholding tax and
they will file forms to get back the
payments. If they do not, their
parents can include the wages on
their returns and claim credit for
the deductions.
Like the youthful workers, many
people who worked only a few
weeks or months and were forced
into idleness for the remainder of
the year will file papers to retrieve
the deductions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. CUP)-
The impact of the mine and railway
labor disputes on the wage stabiliza-
tion program threatens to force
the administration into reappaisal
of its wartime labor policy.
Both controversies still await final
settlement, but already the pattern
has been set to award both groups
greater wage concessions than they
originally were granted by govern
ment agencies which followed the
strict letter of the Little Steel
wage formula. And the heretofore
"outlawed" strike weapon has fig
ured prominently in both cases.
The next major test will come
when the United Steel Workers
(CIO) bring their wage demands
to Washington. AS the CLOS for
NAL campaign to scrap the Little
Steel formula has gathered momen-
tum, other branches of organized
labor have shown growing discon-
tent with the administration of
wage controls. Two significant
weekend statements came from
railway labor organs.

Additional concessions, in the
form of boosts in other than basic
pay, were made in similar fashion
recently to transit system employees
in the Los Angeles area. In these
three cases, the administration in
sists that it did not depart from
its wage sterilization policies. The
Little Steel formula does not actual
l. forbid wage adjustments outside
the Is per cent raise over the jan
uary, 1943, level since it does allow
adjustments to eliminate gross
inequities" or to correct substand-
ard wages.
But other unions, complaining
that wage rates have not kept pace
with profits and the cost of living,
probably will not forget that the
miners and the railway workers,
by striking or threatening to strike,
won more than they were offered in
the first instance. For that reason,
some government officials fear there
may be increased use of strike
weapon.

WASHINGTON, j a n. 3.
(UP) = The supreme court
Monday granted the govern
ment's appeal from a decision of
the, ninth federal appeals court
which threw out" mail-fraud con-
victions against Edna w. and DON
aid Ballard, alleged leaders of a
religious society known as the Il
am" movement.
The appeals court ordered a new
trial in the case on the grounds
that Trial Judge j. F.. T. O'Connor
of a California southern district
court had removed the truth or
falsity" of the charges from the
jury's consideration in a statement
of instructions made to the jury
during the trial.
O'Connor, in the disputed state
ment, told the jury it could not try
the Ballards for possessing religious
beliefs but the question at issue was
whether the defendants honestly
and in good faith" believed their
teachings.
The Ballards, the government
charged, along with Guy w. Bal
lard, their husband and father who
died in 1899 before the indictment
was returned, used the mails in
making false representation of
supernatural powers in the further
ance of the Il Am" society.
According to the indictment, the
Ballards pictured themselves as
divine messengers and through
classes and reading rooms in Los
Angeles, Chicago, Washington and
other cities they induced followers
to purchase their own published
literature and to contribute love
gifts" to the movement.
Among the supernatural powers
claimed by the Ballards, the indict-
ment said, was the ability to con-
quer disease, death, old age, power
ty and to pluck from the thin air
money and other riches.
The appeals court ruled that the
question as to whether these repre-
sentations were true or false was
one for the jury to decide and thai
O'Connor's remarks had excluded
them from the trial
The district court had placed the
Rallards on a years probation and

The department declared it had
not acted upon the applications be-
cause the justice department was
investigating the question of owner
ship. Previously, the general land
office had ruled that the lands
belonged to California and that
the federal government had no
jurisdiction to grant leases upon
them.
The summary judgment later was
affirmed by the U. S. court of ap-
peals for the District of Columbia.
Jordan, appealing from this de-
cision, contended that he had been

more than six years; that the Unit

in the submerged lands, was being
deprived of oil which could be used
in the war effort, and that the oil
