‘HowMuch’Wdtep Should Baby Get? ‘'A Famous Authority’s 12ule < By Ruth Brittain

Baby .-■ecialUts agree nowadays, ihat during the first six months, babies must have three ounces of fluid per pound of body weight daily, iln sight pound baby, for instance, needs twenty-four ounces of fluid. Later on the rule is two ounces of fluid per pound of body weight. The amount of fluid absorbed by a breast fed baby is best determined by weighing him before and after feeding for the whole day; and it is easily calculated for the bottle fed one. Then make up any deficiency with water. Giving baby sufficient water often relieves his feverish, crying, upset and restless spells. If it doesn’t, give him a few drops of Fletcher’s Castoria. For these and other ills of habies and children such as colic, cholera, diarrhea, gas on stomach and bowels, constipation, sour stomach, loss of sleep, underweight, etc., leading physicians say there’s nothing so effective. It is purely vegetable—the recipe is on the wrapper —and millions of mothers have depended on it in over thirty years of ever increasing use. It regulates baby’s bowels, makes him sleep and eat right, enables him to get full nourishment from his food, so he increases in weight as he should. With each package you get a book on Motherhood worth its weight in gold. Just a word of caution, Look for the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher on the package so you’ll be sure to get the genuine. The forty cent bottles contain thirty-five doses.—Advertisement.

Navy Expects Information to Be Valuable in Ocean - Flying. ify Science Seri Ire *■ WASHINGTON, July 2.—When the Marion, staunch little steel vessel of the United States Coast Guard, leaves Sydney, Nova Scotia, about Aug. 1, she will have enough fuel and supplies to sail for a quarter of the earth’s circumference without again touching land. This large cruising radius will be needed, for in the voyage to the region between Greenland and Labrador, the birthplace of the icebergs, she will travel more than 3,000 miles before returning to Sydney, the northernmost point where supplies are available. The Marion is equipped with two Diesel engines, and is i25 feet long. Though small in size, she is unusually seaworthy. The crew will consist of twenty Coast Guard sailors, specially selected from a large number of volunteers. With their two officers, Lieut. Com. Edward H. Smith and Lieut. N. G. Ricketts, they will make up the personnel of the expedition. But they will not confine their attention to icebergs, for their are numerous other problems that demand solution, particularly those concerned with the ocean currents in this little-known region. The Hydrographic Office of the United States Navy will also gain valuable information as the result of the expedition. Hundreds of soundings will be made in 50,000 square miles, where no depth measurements have previously been made. The Marion will also visit villages along the Greenland and Labrador coasts, and their facilities and other pertinent maritime information will be recorded for the benefit of the Hydrographic Office. Observations of weather conditions, such as data on storm trakes, and percentages of fog for both Greenland and Labrador .will be made for the United States Weather Bureau. Since this region is part of the shortest air line route between the United States and western Europe, and may in the future be important in trans-Atlantic aviation, these observations may be of untold value. Radio amateurs in the United States will be the means by which the expedition will keep in touch with civilization. A short-wave radio set is provided on the ship, which can communicate with the United States. The American Radio Relay League has requested that amateur operators listen carefully, in order that messages from the Marion in the far North may ,fc>e picked up.

BROOKLYN GANG CZARJSKILLED Death Seen as Link With Chicago Murders. B.y United Press NEW YORK, July 2.—Possibility that the bitter Chicago gang war had extended to New York was considered today, after Frank Uale, a gang leader, had been killed in a manner parallel to many of Chicago’s recent murders. He drove in his new motor car along a quiet residential street in Brooklyn. A closed auto appeared. Sawedoff shotguns appeared from behind the curtains and there was a raking fire. Uale’s car rolled to a stop against a private home and the body of Uale was found inside. Frank Uale had been known as the same sort of gang leader as those whose exploits have gained them notoriety in Chicago. It long was rumored that Uale was the imported gangster who killed Dion O’Banion, the florist, and Jini Colisimo, two of Chicago’s best known gunmen. Police suspected him of these two murders, but never could prove them. Recently Uale had been connected with various labor enterprises and his death, coming within a few days of that of Big Tim Murphy in Chicago, caused police to investigat-. whether the two deaths might not bo connected. Uale was married, had two small daughters and owned a fashionable home in Brooklyn. DEATH BY OLD INJURY Brazil Man Hurt in Mine 21 Years Ago Succumbs. 5.7 Times Special BRAZIL, Ind., July 2.—Death as a result of injuries suffered in a coal mine twenty-one years ago was the fate of Harry H.

Insuring Good Service Good railway service is a matter of long planning ahead. Traffic requirements must be anticipated, and facilities must be developed to meet them. It takes time to raise money, to obtain delivery of cars and locomotives and to make additions of new trackage and other major improvements. That is why the character of railway service at any time is a reflection of the past condition of railway earning power. The present excellence of railway service is an illustration. Between 1921 and 1926 the net return earned by the railroads as a whole, although short of the officially designated fair return, showed in the main a steady and encouraging improvement. On the strength of this improvement and the faith of investors that it would continue the railroads were able in the six years 1922-27 to invest approximately $5,000,000,000 in new facilities. Users of railway service are now reaping the cumulative benefit of these investments. In the same way the future adequacy of railway service depends upon the present adequacy of railway earning power. If the recent downward trend in the net return earned by the railroads should continue, it is virtually certain to have a corresponding effect upon the quality of railway service. The railway expansion already attained might help to postpone this effect, but traffic will soon outgrow the capacity of present railway facilities. The growth of the country in both population and economic activity calls for a continuing expansion of railway capacity. Hence railway earning power must at all times be such as to encourage investment in railway securities and thus enable the railroads to maintain their progress. Rates which insure the ability of the railroads to meet prospective demands for transportation are the cheapest premium for the best insurance the businss of the country could have. • Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. L. A. DOWNS, President, Illinois Central System. CHICAGO, July 2, 1928.

KANSAS WHEAT] FIELDS FLOODEJ BY LABOR, RA| Grain Belt Faces Crisis, £* Jobless Army Forms I Soup Lines. 'll BY DEXTER M. KEEZER KANSAS CITY, July 2.—The Kansas wheat fields, flooded with harvest hands tor whom there are no jobs’, are facing a desperate labor situation, according to representatives here of the United States Employment Bureau. There is a bumper wheat crop, but rain threatens to prevent the harvesting of much of it, and widespread use of “combine harvesters” has cut the need for men in two. A serious over-supply of labor is the result. Salina, near the center of the wheat belt, has such a surplus of harvest hands that city authorities have set large numbers to breaking rock to earn their food and lodging. In other wheat belt towns there are soup lines. The roads are reported crowded with men looking for work. At Wichita and Hutchinson the city officials say the unemployed present a serious situation. Hundreds of men are turned away from employment agencies daily In Kansas City. “If the rain continues another week,” a representative of the Federal bureau said, “Kansas farmers will be faced with the loss of what they expected to be a record-break-ing crop.” _____
