Mothers have often asked me II
it is advisableato let baby cry for
any length Of time. Well, of course,
it is generally believed it doesn't
harm any baby to cry a little each
day-it helps develop his lungs and
in a sense is a form of exercise.
But crying for long periods usually
means something is wrong and
steps should be taken to stop the
crying.
Remember, a baby doesn't have
many ways for expressing his
desires and usually crying is an
expression Of hunger. If crying
seems to be too frequent and can
be stopped by feeding, consult your
doctor, he may wish to increase
the food intake or start feeding
other foods.
One food that most doctors are
recommending be fed baby at an
early date is strained meat. You
mothers will be glad to know tina.
specially prepared canned meat is
now availa ole for babies made
according to doctors specifications
and approved by the American
Medical association. Your baby
needs proteirs slch as in meat foe
proper growth and development !
Then, tco, mat actually helps slim

Dor.
A close examination of Big
Business proposals for in
creasing productivity shows
what they are really talking
about is speedup. They don't
call it speedup, of course.
They give it some fancy title
like incentive plan" or prof
it sharing"
But it all adds up to the same
thing-working your CUTS out
to make living. 1t has the
desirable advantage for Big
Business of increasing produc-
ton without any added outlay
for machinery, equipment or
wages. y n
AS A matter of fact, many
monopolies have actually with
held improved methods of pro-
duction because they are doing
all right with the outmoded
stuff they have, and there are
no competitors to challenge
them.
In steel, for example, the in
PRODUCTION of improved ma
chinery and methods would
mean the scrapping of much
of the present plant and equip
ment. Even with present
equipment steel profits are
enormous, SO why bother?
This productivity argument is
sometimes called the piece OF
pie" theory. One of the major
oil companies recently ran a Sc
ries of advertisements in which
they stated there were only so
many pieces of pie in our econ
omy and the way for labor to
get a bigger piece was to work
harder and increase the size OF
the pie.
YET history shows that with
all the tremendous increase in
American productive capacity
the relative share of production
going to the worker actually de-
creased. From 1919 to 1920 pro-
duction capacity increased 500;
the relative share of labor de-
creased $50.
From 1899 to 1915 productive
capacity increased $780,: the rela-
tive share going to labor de.
creased 11e6. Apparently the ef-
feet of increasing the size of
the pie is that labor gets an
even smaller piece than before.
The trouble with the "piece
Of pie theory is that it makes
the assumption the pie was
cut right in the first place!

POLITICAL understanding is
as good a phrase as any, but it
isn't all of it. Yet it's a good deal
of it, and you could say it of the
boy called Nathan Hale who
walked into New York on a SUM-
ny day in the the time of our
nations birth and gave away his
young life for a cause which all
of the so-called respectable in
habitants of the America of that
day slandered, mocked-at, and
libeled.
The years of any man are few
enough, and the boys whom the
British hanged in New York City
because he had taken up the fight
for freedom had hardly tasted of
life at all.
Yet he is, in the truest sense,
more alive than millions who
walk on earth today. He is part
of something that will never die,
as long as there are people, part
of the same thing that made a

GOFF was telling me how

knew what he must do and why
he must do it-always knew
that. Bottcher was product of
the working class, German-born,
a communist, and for almost ten
years a professional revolutions

against fascism.
But Irving Golf also was
that, sucked on nipple Of
combat, and both had fought in
Spain and in this war too. Bott-

this is furlough; for his kind
and for Bottcher's kind, it is al
ways q furlough while fascists
exist.
'The answer to Bottcher," Golf
said, was his political under

THAT is why he could have
no peace and no rest-that's also
why he wasn't afraid. The whole
world was his home. For him,
there was no strange place, no
