The criticism of the Supreme Court from the
American Bar Association, at its recent meeting in
Chicago is the latest evidence that the highest court
IF the land is seriously out of step with the vast
majority of legal experts in the United States today
The latest criticism, concerning Supreme Court
decisions favorable to Communists, follows a repud-
tion of the top court by the Supreme Court Justices
If the various 1t also follows criticisms made
)y the Governors of the various states
Considering, also, the fact that many of the
controversial decisions differ from traditional con-
.epts of past Supreme Courts wonders what
urther evidence be needed to prove the against
he present top court-the charge that judicial train
ng and experience is lacking and needed among the
Big Nine.

Looking at
WASHINGTON
Paying The Veterans Bill

The Federal government is spending over
900 every year provide benefits for veterans
We have argument with this program where it
concerns veterans who actually in need, or who
actually suffered disabilities because of military
services, especially in wartime on active duty
However, there are millions of veterans now re-
ceiving compensation for disabilities incurred long
fter their wartime service and many receiving
pensions though they and their wives have in
come from other sources Another large group re-
eives pensions based on disability at the time of
discharge, though this disability has largely
disappeared
Another group of veterans receives free medical
md dental care and in this is certainly
justified On the other hand, in all these fields there

Court Again Criticized

Congress, and the President, should see to it that
qualifications for membership on the top court are
carefully raised. For example, there is little in the
present plan of bestOwing Supreme Court appoint
ments political pums to commend itself.
Just Chief Justice Earl Warren won his ap
pontment because of his part in getting the Califor
MIA delegates the 1852 Republican convention tC
support Mr. Eisenhower other inexperienced men
have won seats the high court "payof" fo
political service rendered to the right
at the right time.
To be a Supreme Court Justice one should have
judicial training high level over number o
years. This should be an involate prerequisite TIL
least Congress should do at the current session,
in this Congress, is to pass BILL or constitutions
amendment, requiring such qualifications.

THE DAYS GO BY

The days continue to pass, and 1t is dlffl-
cult to believe that, at the end of this month,
one-fourth of 1859 will already be history.
But that is true, and in watching time pass
on parade, it is good to remember some of
the things which happened during these
March days in past years.
For example, Patrick Henry made his
famous speech in 1776 on March 2Srd. He
was defending a resolution he had introduced
in the provincial convention of Virginia
which called for the organization of militia
in order to put the colony of Virginia in a
state of preparedness.
Fanny Crosby was born March oath in
1920, and on that day the Greek Turkish war
flared in 1918. On the 25th of March, in 1913,
over 700 lives were lost in the famous Ohio
Indiana floods.
This day is also Maryland Day, celebrat-
ing the landing in 1884 on ST. Clements Is
land of the colonists sent over from England
by Lord Baltimore, under the leadership of
his brother, Leonard Valvert.
On that day in 1907, incidentally, Parlia-
ment abolished the slave trade in England.
On the 26th Beethoven died, in 1927, and
Benjamin Thompson, who became Count
Rumford, distinguished American physicist
Loyalist during the Revolution, was born at
Woburn, Massachusetts, in 1853. The 26th
is also Maundy Thursday.
IhlS year March ZfCh is GOOd FrlOay.
But is remembered as the day the President
signed an Act in 1894 in order to have sea
force powerful enough to handle the threat
of the Barbary pirates. Congress, in fact, had
provided that if the trouble with the pirates
should cease, the construction of the war
ships authorized should be stopped.
On March 28th, 1919, the first trans
Atlantic steamship trip began, Pierre Lap
lace was born in 1749 and one of the few reso-
lutions of censure passed by the United
States Senate was adopted on March 28th
1884. The vote was 1920, in condemnation
of President Jackson for removing the de-
posits from the United States bank
This year March 29th is Easter Sunday
John Tyler the tenth President of the United
States. was also born-at Greenway, Charles
City County, Virginia on March 29th, 1890.
Perhaps Tyler is best remembered for hav-
ing established the precedent that the Vice
President becomes President upon the death
of the President AS Vice President under
President Harrison, he settled an argument
whether the Vice President was only an act
ing President, or actually became President
Upon the death of President Harrison, he set
tied that question by moving into the White
House and functioning as President. This has
been the tradition ever since.

third birthday and hasn't begun to
talk should most certainly be
thoroughly examined
One of the first things we think
about in delayed speech is that the
child doesn't hear. Children talk a
jargon before they master intelli-
ble speech. Listen to your child
When he babbles does it sound like
conversation? Does he go some
times slowly, sometimes more zap
idly? Is his voice full and vibrAnt,
high-pitched at times and low at
otherS? Fe7-s4
Voice Infections
If there are all these subtle in
lections in his jargon, you can
rest easy that he is not deaf. These
sounds he learned from listening
o you; he didn't think them ul
himself. And he couldn't have done
t if he were deaf. On the other
hand, if child jabbers always in
monotone, if his voice is Aunin-
teresting and dull and he doesn't
pay much attention to it himself
possibly he cannot hear. You had
better have his hearing examined
right away.
But delayed speech can be due
o the simple fact that you don't
ak to your child. If you go about
your care for him silently, he
hasn't anything to copy, SO he
doesn't talk.

PEDESTRIANS AND DRIVERS

From time to time one hears the opinion
expressed that automobile drivers seem to
seldom give pedestrians their legal fright
of-way" on crosswalks.
We are delighted to remind drivers that
the pedestrian has the right-of-way, if cross
ing the street, or intersection, during the ap-
proach of an automobile. Moreover, the pc
destrian, unless he is crossing on a green
light is assumed to have the right-of-way at
intersections, and automobiles should wait
for him or her, as the case may be.
There are abuses on the other side, of
course, and the primary one is for pedeS-
trians to start crossing an intersection just
as the light is turning green, thereby forcing
the motorist, and those waiting behind him.
to wait while the pedestrian, sometimes eiS-
urely, strolls across the street.
However, we agree that the greatest
weight of abuse on this question is on the
shoulders of automobile drivers Sometimes
it seems that many drivers assume that they
have the right-of-way, primarily because
they have three thousand pounds of steel
around them, and they almost take delight in
making those on foot scamper, jump, and
quick-step out of their path.
Psychologists have spent long hours stu
dying human nature, trying TO find out why
normally-polite people become tigers once
they get under the wheel of an automobile
Whatever the reason, some of us act COM
pletely different while we are driving than we
would otherwise We have been fortunate
not to have many pedestrian casualties, al
though occasionally a child is killed, or some
one is struck down and seriously injured.
Obviously, drivers need to give thought
to the fact that pedestrians have the right
of-way, and courtesy in allowing them to
cross the street, is not exhibited on too many
occasions, in this regard

words. Talk to your baby, but by
your actions let him discover that
talking gets him what he wants.
Sometimes parents worry that
child is mentally retarded if he is
delayed in talking OF course there
is this possibility, but don't jump
to the conclusion. A child whose
speech is delayed because he is re-
tarded will show his slowness in
all phases of his development. He
will be late in sitting up, in walk
ing, in toilet training and in all
other multitude of things a child
does. If he is only slow in talking,
this slowness is probably not due
to retardation
Some Walk First
A child who walks before he
talks may just put off talking for
while. He becomes so absorbed
in going places he doesn't have time
or interest for a different skill. Let
him alone. When he becomes so
proficient at walking he can do it
without thinking about it, then he
will turn his attention to his vo-
cabulary.
If your child is slow in talking,
talk to him and talk plenty. Love
him, keep him happy and content
as much as you can. If you are
worried about him, by all means
take him to your doctor and have
him thoroughly gone over and have
hearing tests and intelligence tests
included in the examination. Maybe
there is nothing at all wrong; he
is just naturally a slow talker.

her baby is adequately protected
against vitamin deficiencies. Some
times a mother is worried because
she thinks her baby is not gain
ing as rapidly as her neighbor's
baby or as rapidly as she thinks
he should. Vitamins, she thinks,
stimulate appetite and that will
add pounds to her baby.
This is great mistake. If a
child's body is really deficient in
yitamins, then of course giving him
what he lacks will make him more
healthy and therefore improve his
appetite. However, IL a child al
ready is receiving an adequate
amount of vitamins, giving him an
extra amount will not improve his
health. In fact, too much Vitamin
ID can certainly do harm.
What Vitamins Do
Vitamin d is needed to help the
baby use the calcium of his milk
to build bones and do other things
in the body where calcium is
needed. If you give too much vita
min ID, bones become too hard, too
much calcium circulates around in
the body and the baby fails to
grow and thrive.
Vitamin A, too, can be overdone
and a baby who gets too much is
likely not to gain as well as one
who gets the right amount.
Babies need more vitamins A, d
and c than is normally present in
milk, but by the time child is on
full diet he probably gets an adj
equate amount of vitamins from
his food. Since many little chill
dren are very picky about some
items in the diet, notably yege-
tables, it's good idea to see that
they get moderate vitamin sup
plement daily. This makes it cas-
ier for mother to relax, instead Of
having to push the child to balki-
ness over those vegetables.

preparation tnaL can De administer
I'd in drop form once a day.
Vitamins A and ID are found in
ish liver oils, such as the cod and
lalibut. Not many years ago we
gave these oils to babies. When
he pure fish oils were given, it
vas necessary to give quite large
loses, up to good sized table,
spoonful, to get enough of the Wit
minis. Sometimes this amount of
)il upset the digestion of small ba-
Dies. It is now possible to pre-
pare vitamins A and ID in water
soluble forms and to concentrate
he solution so that only a few
lrops are needed to supply all
he necessary vitamins.
Vitamin c is the vitamin found
most abundantIy in citrus fruits.
the days when we gave cod liver
oil to babies we also used to give
several ounces of orange juice to
supply the needed yitamin G. Now
days vitamin C can be concen-
rated and mixed with vitamins A
md d.
Don't OFerdO f1taminS
Along with the ease of new vi
.amins, new hazards develop. When
we used cod liver oil and orange
uice it was next to impossible to
get too much into a baby. The
problem was always the other
way. Babies were often upset by
the amounts of these foods really
needed to give them adequate vita
Minis.
Nowadays it's so easy to give
a dropperful of vitamins to baby
that sometimes a mother is tempt
ed to give too much. If little is
good, she thinks, why isn't more
better?
Mothers are tempted to do this
for several reasons. First, every
mother wants her baby healthy
and everyone is bombarded these
days by the advertising about vi
tamins. She wants TO make sure

is much waste. and huge amount of money is being
paid out by the Federal government each year tc
veterans who do not actually deserve or need that
help.
1t seems obvious that in the field of farm sup
ports and in the field of veterans benefits the gov
ernment can save large sums of money. The larges
to be saved, of course is possible through tho
reduction of waste in the military services. This il
extremely difficult to accomplish in times of acute

On the other hand, if could a billion

Heart, Circulatory

Lead Death Causes

/ Figures compiled by the Virginia
Bureau Of Vital Statistics show that
there were 81 994 deaths in Virginia
in 1857 OF this number, II O38 or
81 ga per cent oil all deaths were
caused by diseases OF the heart ana
clrculatory system.
More than half OF all the deaths
in this country are due to heart
disorders, and of these. nearly q
third occur among those under 65
years Of age.
Since 1850, Virginia Heart As
ISOLATION and its chapters have
spent $308,937 in research and
medical education fellowships. OF
this amount S70,862 was spent at
the University Of Virginia School Of
Medicine. $63,793 at the Medical
College of Virginia. and Sl74, 2H

Although the diseases Of the heart

Much Of this progress was made
possible through the generosity Of
