To the Extent of 20 Arrests

can't resist the temptation to
speed through the area where
traffic bottlenecks used to slow
them down.
All northbound trafiic is di-
verted over the new road from a
point one-quarter Of q mile south
of Laurel and rejoins the old

WhyGroW
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

Having baby seems a mundane
and usual sort of thing until it
gets more personal. and you are
expecting one yourself!
Then the experience takes on
the mysterious and exciting quail
ties of a great adventure! This
miracle is newly impressed upon
a woman and it seems almost un-
believable to her that she is en-
dowed with such magic powers and
such responsibility.
Modern women do not take their
pregnancies so casually as women
of the past did because they know
that fine medical attention, from
the very first, and diet and exer-
else. can make a great difference
in their own safety and the health
of their children. They also know
that they need not lose their fig
lures if they will follow the tenets
of up to date care!
There is no need for a woman
to become fat during pregnancy.
Naturally, she Will gain weight be-
cause of the baby but this does not
mean that she should eat every
thing in sight and acquire rolls OF
fat.
Most physicians watch the pro-
spective mothers weight very
carefully. Pregnancy places some
strain on the system and there is
no need to add an additional bur-
den with overweight.
The pregnant woman cannot
diet as that term is understood.
She should take great care to eat
a well-balanced diet, one which is
rich in vitamins and minerals and
contains a quart of milk daily.
Her diet should be built around
whole grain cereals, lean meat.
lots of fresh fruit and vegetables,
eggs and milk.
Exercise is most important be-
cause this builds stamina and also
affects the baby's weight. What
kind you take should be up to
your doctor, for every case is diff
ferent. I. myself, taught exercise
classes for the first five months Of
pregnancy. but this would be dan
gerous for most women.
So many of the little discom-
forts Of pregnancy. to say nothing
of the dangers encountered, can
be controlled by correct diet and
rest, exercise and enough sleep.
The very best insurance of all
is to select a competent doctor
and put yourself in his hands as
soon as you suspect that you are
to have a baby. Even today, many
women feel that this is unneces-
sary in the early months. This is
a grave mistake.
If you would like to have my
leaflet which gives you many sug-
gestions as to health and also
advises you about how to keep
your good looks. send q stamped,
self lf-addressed envelope with your
request for leaflet No. 81, "Care
During Pregnancy" Address jose

Keeping Tractors
In Good Condition

CHICAGO - (SpeciaD Keeping
the nations fleet of 312 million
farm tractors operating efficiently
is a job of basic Importance to the
whole economy. Aiding in this
task today is the Ali tractor
maintenance program through
which nearly 10000 club leaders
and members have been trained
to know their tractors, care for
them well, and operate them eff

So said Guy L. Noble, director

The club leaders receive
special training in tractor care
and operation at annual State or

LEARNING ABOUT COAL

A short time ago, a special and
novel three-day seminar for
Illinois high school principals was
held at the state university. The
teachers received a brief but in
tensive course on how the modern
mechanized coal industry works,
and were given an accurate idea
OF its vast potentialities and op-
portunities.
The idea was conceived and
financed by Illinois coal operat-
ors. The principals inspected the
the university's coal mining de-
partment laboratories, heard lect-
ures by faculty members and in
dustry executives, and followed
the process of coal production
from the mechanical underground
operations to the final machine
laundering and grading They
were aquainted with the univer-
stays facilities for training stud
ents in coal mining engineering,
and left the seminar with a new
understanding of coaIs inpor-
tance to the nations economy.
1t is hoped that similar courses
will be held elsewhere. The real
objective is to attract talented and
trained men into this great basic
industry. That is simply one of
the many far-seeing steps that are
being taken to assure that coal
will look ahead and go ahead.
Coal does offer fine opportun-
tiles to young men, on all employ
ment levels up to engineering and
management The industry is in
the midst of great technical re-
yolution, that promises vast prog
ress III the techniques of coal pro-
duction for the future. The old
pick and shovel days are gone
for good. and amazing and intri-
cate machines now do most of the
heavy work. The result is greater
productivity for the miner-and
tent. then, as the posted speed
ditions than would otherwise be
possible.
