How To Pick The
Right Baby Toys
BY Dorothy v. Whipple, M. c

BY Dorothy v. Whipple, M. D.
In the beginning, a baby doesn't
want things to play with. He en-
joys feeding, bathing, being allow
ed to kick freely and wiggle, and
he loves being picked up. rocked
and sung to. AS time passes, those
busy hands begin reaching out for
whatever is handy. -.
Its a picnic to try to diaper
Danny" laughed his mother. Hes
grabbing for the pins or the cord
on the window shade or if there's
nothing else he'll go for his toes.
Now'S the time to introduce a
toy or two - he'll be around 4
months old. At this age he'll be
awake for longer periods and pro-
bably will have at least one real
play time. Of course he plays
every minute he's awake in be-
tween the eating and the cleaning
up. But as time goes on there de-
yelopes time when there's moth
ing else to do but play. He'll
spend this time examining his
hands, feeling the sheet or the
sides of his crib or playpen, look
ing at a light, beam of sunshine
or trees moving in the breeze.
A baby learns how to grab be-
fore he learns to let go. He will
reach for and hang on to a toy,
wave it around with glee, then
suddenly the hand relaxes and
he's quite surprised to discover the
toy is gone. He'll like to have you
put it back in his hand.
Your baby will feel, shake, look
at and chew everything that comes
his way. He has to find out all
there is to know about it - chew
ing it and tasting it are important
tc him. When he is getting teeth
he has special urge to chew to
help push the teeth through the
gums. The plastic toys filled with
water that you freeze in your re-
frigerator are especially good at
this time because the cold soothes
inflamed gums.
BY the time a baby is 6 to z
months old he discovers he can
throw.
About now he'll enjoy playing
ball. He'll sit on the floor and
push big ball away from him
and love to have you push it back
so he can do it again.
Survey shows that 500 of all
brides today are in the UNDERGO
age group, and predictions are that
there'n be 81 million teen-age
brides in 1858.

SAN FRANCISCO DE PAULA,
Cuba, Oct. 28.-Ernest Heming-
way said today he was proud
and happy" to have won the 1854
Nobel Prize for Literature-but
he thought Carl Sandburg,
biographer of Abraham Lincoln,
should have won it.
Mr.. Hemingway met newsmen

locked up in a Havana bank a

he published it first because Il

Because Of the injuries he suf-

Africa early this year, he said,
he will not go to Stockholm to

coming along good"
He said he planned to use about
$4,000 of the $35, 900 prize money

can"
In addition to Mr.. Sandburg,
he commented, he thought Izak

Bernard Berenson, distinguished
Florence art critic and Harvard
graduate, were more deserving of
the Nobel prize than Hemingway.

after the French evacuated the
city earlier this month. British
