/ Occasionally young mother will get concerned for fear her baby is not having a wide enough variety of foods. Probably she might bet ter be careful that he is not get ting too much variety! < <
 During the first few months, in fact, for the first year of your baby's life, he is learning gradu- ally = very gradually = to eat a number of different foods. For some time after he starts on cer- calls, vegetables and fruits, 1t is more important that he learn to eat foods of varying textures and consistencies than that he should have variety of different cereals, or vegetables or fruits. He. is learning to eat. r' ssasisss'ss'' a.s'sAssss 'as If he has a variety during the period of a weeks meals, he will be learning to eat different foods. This is of more value to him than that he have carrots for their Vita min A on one day and peas be- cause they have considerable Vita min c the next day. The small cans or jars of strained vegetables may be kept for two or three days, if covered and refrigerated, and fed for several days. Open a can of carrots, then the next one in two or three days may be a green vegetable. @ {
 This plan is less confusing to your baby and at the same time simplifies your problems.

 In the name of human decency and civilization, more rational method of deciding national differ ences MUST and WILL be found!
 America must assist suffering hu- manity back along the path of peaceful progress. This will require time and tolerance. We shall need also an abiding faith in the people, the kind of faith and courage which Franklin Delano Roosevelt always had!
 Today, America has become one of the most powerful forces for good on earth. We must keep it so. We have achieved a world leader ship which does not depend solely upon our military and naval might.

 Humble Prayer
 At this moment, I have in my heart a prayer. AS r assume my heavy duties, I humbly pray to Almighty God, in the words of Solomon:
 Give therefore Thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people, that may discern between good and bad. For who is able to judge this Thy so great people?" ask only to be a good and faith full servant of my Lord and my people.

 At 10:46 the traditional three vol- leys were fired over the grave. A minute later, taps sounded softly through the garden.
 The crowd turned away. Mrs. Roosevelt went to the side of the elderly aunt, and a few minutes later walked, chin firm, head erect, from the garden.
 Mrs. Roosevelt wore a small black hat and flowing black veil. Mrs. Boettiger wore a black skull cap and smaller veil. The daughters-in-law wore no wells.
 After the crowds had departed, Mrs. Roosevelt returned. She stood for several minutes in silence, lock- ing at her husbands grave. She joined her family for the lonely trip back to Washington.

empy seat of the chairmanship of the local party now held pro tenn by Vernon Hall former chairman. The local adherents of the party are unable to find a successor who either is willing to take the post or is favorable to the various fac tions within the party. Until some thing tangible is accomplished by way of making the party a cohesi- fled one state leaders declare that little recognition can be given.
 The local COP party is at present split into various factions each in opposition to the other. While these groups have worked together at elections, their efforts, it has often been pointed out, have been dispirt- ed because of the lactl of cohesion and mutual interests. Top-heavy leadership by a few has been blanl- ed for the situation by many long, time party adherents as the cause for the lack of unity.
 It is expected that state leaders at next weeks meeting, will not hesitate to point out many of these factors when the local representa- tives make their appearance.
