Babies Who Can't Relax

By Harman N. BundoMn. M. 0. WHEN we want to indicate we’ve had a good, refreshing rest. Vi 9 often say “I slept like a baby.” and it's a good com parison because most babies are past masters at the art of relaxation There are aome babies, however, of the type called hypertonic who do not seem to know how to relax. These babies are constantly <w the alert Their muscles are rigid •nd tei)»e. They steep too little and cry too much They seem always hungry and yet, when they are fed. the spit up part ot the food They hear everything and any little ■oise makes them Jump. Body Position Eves the attitude they Ilka best Jed kales tees ton Usually they Ike the side or abdomen with the back arcbed and legs and arms par (tally bent As might be expected, these over-tense youngsters are subject to colic and vomiting. But even so. according to He. irvtog J. Wolman of Brooklyn. »f lhey arc given proper Infant care, no special treatment la required unless growth and nutrition are being interfered with.

Congressman Charlie La Fol lette. Republican progressive, who made a hid for the senatorial Domination. publicly announces that b>- is leaving hi* paity. He doesn't believe that the reactionary ment will serve the country and he wishes to cast nls chances in more liberal surroundings lie will not he a candidate for re-election to the House. The Indiana man Is a cousin of the famous Bob La Follette of Wisconsin, who carried on after Teddy Roosevelt. O -0 Plans for the 411 Club Show and Youth Week celebration next August Sth. will move under the enthusiasm and energy of Phil Sauer, who ha* been named general chairman for the hlg even. The showwill be staged on city streets, with special exhibits in the high aehonl building. Already much favorable publicity has been given to the Youth Week idea and the program promises to be entertaining as well as educational. -0 It's just like congressmen to spend their time figuring ways and means of tying the Case anti strike bill as a rider on other proposer! legislation, merely for the sake of embarrassing the lliesldent The bill was vetoed and the House upheld the veto, so why not try something new and get out of the rut The country needs some kind of legislation in respect to strikes, but our troubles won't be Ironed out as long as congressmen spend their time playing politics. —o The Indianapolis Star is acept teal over Governor Gates’ chances of smashing the beer and liquor rackets in Indiana, by getting a new law passed by the next session of the state assembly. Giving credit to Gales for his courage to denpuncc- the present hook-up, the Star comments, “of course the county chairmen and the politically .UUM>i<>t<*<l distributors will light the Governor's program . , . The Governor's own Palace Guard will go along with the heer racket lx>ys". To remove* the favorltelsm and monopoly In brer distribution, those favoring reform want distribution handled by many unlicensed dealers, as W they sold sugar —o One piece of Garman loot which has not been traced is the original copy of the Treaty of Verallies. Kept in the French foreign ministry, it was seixed by the Germans along with the ot|% archives and taken to Berlin. Eventually the other archives were recovered, hut the Versailles treaty was not among them. While It may have been destroyed by now. this was probably not the original Naxl intention. Hitler loved pageantry and dramatic historical scenes. He probably planned to celebrate his final victory by a spectacular destruction ot the document which marked Germany's defeat ot 1918.

time When they get a little fatter and a little stronger, they seem to decide that life in not so much to be feared after all and settle down to enjoy It. If they do have colic it is usually severe. Dr, Wolman suggests the use of belladonna or atropine j-olution given every four hours for this condition if on the other hand the main symptoms ate restlessness, hunger and Irritability, he suggests the (is* of phenobarbital which Is a sedative drug. The pheno barbital also may help relieve vomiting and the spitting up of food. Stsiffness of Muscles Rigidity and stiffness of the muadea may at times hr produced by come damage to the nervous system.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN CORBETT turned half-around. That face had seemed familiar. Something out of picture magazines or the newspaper morgues, one of those public figures you always have known without per* sonal encounter. In the flesh, the abundant flesh. Senator Hastings was far leas impressive than in his pictures; slack Jowls, nose pinched, purple-veined, eyebrows twin mustaches over the nose. His name meant nothing at all to the captain. He took the introduction completely dead-pan. The senator boomed: "Glad to know you, str. My little girl been behaving herself 7" Corbett got up, ansvwf quietly back to the desk. Mrs. Hastings beamed at him fatuously. "That’s a dear boy. Pat. the lieutenant's sweet. Ho gave you his chair." "Sit down, Pat," the senator ordered. "Sit down and behave." Pat Hastings let go the captain's arm, slid Into the seat between her mother and Peck and eyed Corbett The captain took a step back, preparing to leave. "Oh, don’t go," the girl cried. "Don’t you dare run away." She opened her handbag, took out a compact, slapped a puff on her nose. The young captain sighed, spread his legs for a stance. "Mother, he’s Just the most wonderful hero. Been in all the big battles." Mrs. Hastings exposed her teeth and bent forward. "You poor boy. You must have had a terrible time.* "They rolled ms over a barrel," the captain said calmly. "Tcnvy you, sir," the senator began. “If I were younger, I’d like nothing better than to march shoulder to shoulder with—" His daughter broke in. "You can't worm a thing out of him, dad. I’ve tried till I'm tired. Just worn out.” She unscrewed her lipstick. The captain glanced upeasiiy toward Corbett. Tbs bombardier smiled, Mrs. Hastings tapped the captain’s wrist. "How lucky, bow wonderful you’re back safe and sound. Your darling mother will be so glad to see you." He shook his head. "I won’t see my parents this trip. They're out in Ohio. I’m spending this leave with my wife and baby.” Pat Hastings held the lipstick away from her gaping mouth. "Why, you never told me I* The captain's smile broadened. •You didn't give me a chance.” He raised the hem of his tunie and reached for his wallet "Ruth sent me pictures. If you'd Uke to see them."

The girt held up her oompact mirror, slashed bar rad pencil •gainst her lips. Dr. Pack said: "Let ma sea. Im in expert on babies." The captain moved down to in front ot the doctor and gripped the edge of the desk, boxing Corbett into the corner. He naswt the pictures to Peck, grinning edf-cnnsciously, as if he weren’t quite sure whether he ought to be proud or embarrassed. “I've never seen the kid. Just his pictures.” They were tn a small folder, • Ralf dozen framed snapshots Dr. Peck leafed the pictures, nodded approvingly, passed teem to Cor-

bett It was the War-time Madonna, a thin, bobbed-haired girl, smiling gallantly, and a fat and expressionless Infant Every married man In the Air Force pulled out a folder like this the minute you met him. Dr. Peck said: "Remarkable infant A boy or a girl I" "Boy." The captain seemed especially proud of that fact "Something to fight for,” Dr. Peck said. "To eave from more wars like thia, • * a How old is the child** "Sixteen months." "Fine. Excellent She's taking good care of your kid.” "Isn’t she though!" A worried frown started between the young captain’s eyes. "It seems funny to be coming home to a kid. Hard to get used to that Me and Ruth . . . well, you know how it la, batting around, furnished rooms, dancing joints, movies , . . Now, spending a leave sitting home with a kid." He took the pictures from Ccrbett and looked at them as U he hadn't seen them before. "Imagine telling that kid: "This big lug is your Caddy!* I hope I don’t scare him. Ruth says he says 'Daddy.*" He put the folder back In his wallet "It’s a big Jump," ho said. "Being a family man. Ruth, she's had time to get used to the business, but to me—-well— ■ Corbett said: "Please, rd. rd like to get through." Dr. Peck looked up quickly, first at Corbett, "Leaving us?" then toward the diner. "They’re not ready yet?" “Got to see my porter about something." "I see. Fino to have met you. I enjoyed our talk. Going all the way through?" Corbett nodded. "Then I’ll see you again." The captain flattened himself on the wall. He said: “See you again,” as if sharing his pictures with Cwbett had made them old friends. A waiter open-ad the door from the diner, precariously balancing an enormous tray, swathed in Unen, heavy and bulbous with crockery and silver. Corbett sidestepped to let him go past. He saw Senator Hastings’s eyebrows leap up. "Wo were told there’s no seat service on here.” "Special pah'ty." The Negro’s face was impassive. "Drawing Room A." Ho lurched through the car. "There’s a prisoner of war in Drawing Room A." That was the voice of the man who had almost bought a Miami hotel. “They have him in handcuffs. I saw him. He killed a guard at the camp.” Corbett heard a quick gasp. The blonde in the fox said: "My heavens 1"

Pat Hastings’s lipstick dropped from her hand. As it fell. It made • sharp ping on the base of the ash stand. It rolled before Corbett's shoes down the aisle. “Weil, I'll be hanged,” the senator said. “Ho gets better service than us." Coach Sixteen smelled of fried chicken and pickles. Half of its passengers were oating their lunches out of shoe boxes and bags. The sailor’s baby lay on his mother’s lap, contentedly guzzling a bottle. Joanle had moved up the •isle to Chuckle’s family’s seats and was nibbling a chicken bone. It all looked like a family pwme. C&bstt swung through sixteen.
