NERVOUS INSTABILITY
Many a mother and lather find it
difficult to understand why th baby's
doctor bo strongly insists upon regu
larity in the simple physical hand
ling of the Infant.
The fact, however, is that the doc
tor's Insistence Is not pointless.
The child must learn to behavo
inwardly as well as outwardly, "break
ing in" its own physical machine for
smooth and harmonious operation,
While the child is born with in
nate capacities to feed, excrete, and
sleep, these capacities are crude and
untrained.
The more serious forms of nervous
Instability may cause the child to
suffer convulsions upon the least provocation.
Under propor handling tho child
will overcome this handicap, and in
later years withstand provoking irri
tations without going into nervous
spasms.
In a less serious form nervous In
stability may be seen in the child's
irregular breathing, and particularly
in its frequent attacks of hiccough,
or spasms of the diaphragm.
The rate and rhythm of the child's
circulatory system are also Irregular.
Not Infrequently, too, Its excretory
functions are so irregular as to causo
alarm.
There may bo constipation without
apparent reason and suppression or
retention of tho urine.
The digestive system and Its func
tions aro also subject to disturbances
In movement and co-ordination.
Temporary spasms of tho pylorus,
tho opening of the stomach into the
intestine, and the Irregular peristaltic
movement of the intestinal tract give
rise to vomiting, pain, and in a num-
REDUCED WHEAT ACREAGE , ' ,
That highly practical college of experience and hard
knocks seems to be having its effect on the wheat farmers
of the United States, Canada, Australia and Argentine. Re
duced acreage for the next crop indicates they have arrived
it the conclusion that politicians cannot amend or repeal
the law of supply and demand. " '

bright prospect of a 15 per cent reduction in the crop.
Disillusioned by the' breakdown of the Canadian wheat
pool,, the wheat growers of Canada are planting less wheat
than formerly, and the wheat farmers in Australia and the
Argentine are putting fewer acres in the golden grain.
All in all the wheat growers of the world can look forward
to the best year they have known since the countries1 of
Europe converted thqir battlefields into wheat fields. They
will have less wheat to sell but will likely have an oppor
tunity to make a profit on what they do sell and have no sur

But not entirely. A most important part of the domain
controlled by the public is still being administered in the
pre-Eoosevelt spirit. The broadcasting and communication
channels of tho ether, used by private enterprise for private
profit, are still being given away free of any charge whatso
ever. The Federal government spends half a million a year
in patrolling the ether lanes to protect the channels against
trespassers, but not even this cost is borne by the concerns
which profit by this patrol.
Many of tho channels have reached high values, up to a
million dollars. Given away free, they have been sold for
this amount, yet their capitalized value is not being taxed.
It is time that Congress, confronted by a huge deficit,
rectify the mistake. Oil, gas, timber, phosphate, coal all pay

and communication channels used for private profit should

No Changes In
Egg And Butter
Markets Today
PORTLAND. Jan. 27 (rP) Storage
movement of eggs Is due to start
within the coming week although the
early movement Into cooler Is ex
pected to be of nomlnll volume.
With the last report of the United
States department of agriculture
Bh owing a total of but 2,880 cases
on the coast compared with 6,807
cases for the same period a year ago,
the season for old holdings is prac
tically at an end. Portland holdings
are a -mere handful as are other hold
ings along the coast except Seattle
and Los Angeles. Of the total supply
of 2,880 cases in the leading markets,
Seattle and Los Angeles hold 2753
cases.
, There was no change in the egg
market situation for the day. Re
ceipts continue to Increase but de
mand Is still quiet, Storers claim
that quality is not as yet at its best
and are therefore not Inclined to
start the movement Into Ice houses.
There was no change in the trend
of the butter market for the day. ,
On the open market cubes are moving
out freely at the full list price. Espe-,
cially strong tone is reflected for un-
dergrades.
Appearance of the trade Indicates
that Callfornlans are trying to get
cheap chickens In the Northwest.
While down to 8c lb. Is offered for
light weight hens here, the San Fran
cisco buying price for similar offer-
lugs is 16c lb.. Just double the local
market.
Demand for dressed turkeys re
mains firm here with prices steady
to a fraction better in spots. Receipts
have fallen off considerably at all
loading points recently.
Damage to the citrus crops of Cal
ifornia Is smaller than first reported,
It will be Impossible to tell exact
damage -for several days at least,
Steady price conditions are ruling
In the market for. country killed
meats and especially for bulls and
for lambs. Hogs are steady with veal
practically unchanged.
There is an extreme scarcity of
comb honey on the local market
with scarcely sufficient to establish
prices. A small supply of Montana
stock is being offered to wholesalers
at $3.50 and the latter are nominally
asking $3.75 for a limited stock of
Idaho.
There Is a shortage of cauliflower
here and especially so good quality
stock. Roseburg offerings have prac
tically disappeared and good Cnllf-
ornlan is held higher. Little of the
latter is available.
Notes of wholesale trading:
Mexican tomatoes are down about
25c lug; cooler weather being a fac
tor. Hothouse Is trifle slower too.
Hothouse rhubarb is again weaker
with some price shading. Local stock
selling best. i
There remains a lack of general
new business in onions at Willamette
valley points.
Cabbage market Is active with
little change In tho price.
Walla Walla spinach Is in short
supply .with a keener domand. .i ..i...

Wall Street Is
Mildly Bearish
NEW YORK, Jan. 27 m The stock
market put a mildly bearish inter
pretation today on the U. s. Steel
dividend reduction and poor earnings
statement, although firmness of the
railroad shares eventually checked t
sharp decline in industrials. Selling
was light -and sales only approxi
mated 1,400,000 shares.
U. S. Steel common slumped $4.00
to $37.75t but closed at $38.62, or
$3.12 lower. Tho year's low is $35.60.
The preferred issue, of which the reg
ular quarterly dividend of $1.75 was
declared, lost $4. Bethlehem Steel
sagged more than $2, dipping under
$1.7 and closed virtually at the bot
tom. . - i ; ; ,
Regular dividend declarations by
Pennsylvania and Delaware & Hud
son helped the railroad stocks. Am
erican Telephone was soft, dropping
about $3. Net declines of $1 to $2
were numerous among industrials and
utilities but rails as a group finished
around yesterday's closing prices..

Fur Ship Baychimo
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Jan. 27 (P)
Prank Dorbonclt, hero of numerous
arctic exploration and rescue flights,
was organizing an aerial expedition
here Tuesday to seek the "ghost"
ship, Baychimo, lost in the Arctic
ocean ice with a valuable cargo of
furs aboard.
Dorbandt's announcement follows
close upon the similar declaration of
W. B. Graham, Portland, Ore., aviator,
who is now in Seattle overhauling a
plane to use in pursuit of the prlzo

Dorbandt expected to leave here this
