Xew-Born Infant Should Be Weighed

Chest Development Should
Be Carefully Watched.
So much has been said of the prize
baby girl. Jane Kanzler. that it seems
but fair to give mention to the sweep
Ftakes boy. Wayne Porter Buchanan,
ton of Professor and Mrs. F. H. Bu
chanan, of McMlnnvllle. Wayne's
mother has brought up her little son
on practically the same plan that Mrs.
Kanzler used for Jane. He has had
tareful feeding, lots of fresh air, sun
shine and a general treatment Inspired
by stood sound common sense. He Is
the proud possessor of two silver cups,
a medal and a prize of $100 in gold. He
weighs 35 pounds and is well propor
tioned. At the State Fair tests he was
adjudged the finest boy in Oregon.
In talking recently of the eugenics
tents which she conducted and which
are of such wide interest at present, Dr.
Mary V. Madigan gave many interest
ing points. She said:
"The eugenics contest, now so popu
lar all over the state, in fact all over
the United States, is a subject of great
discussion at the present time and has
done much to educate parents in
eugenics. Nurture and environment
hold an Important place In bettering the
race and in increasing the usefulness of
the present generation.
Height Increases With Weight.
"The score card used in these con
tests is worthy of careful study. It
gives the average normal standard of
weights and measurements for children
from 6 months to 3 years of age. The
new-born babe should be weighed every
week during the first month, twice ev
ery month during the first year, and
every three months thereafter, as
weight is one of the chief indications
of normal development. His other meas
urements, such as height, circumfer
ence of head, chest and abdomen should
Increase proportionately with his
weight. To maintain the proper ratio
is all Important. A record of his ad
vancement should be kept and compar
isons made with the average normal
standard. If he weighs more than this
his height and other measurements
should correspond, otherwise the In
creased weight may be due to fat
caused by improper assimilation of
food.. The head, chest and abdomen
should measure alike up to 16 months,
and after that the chest takes the lead.
"If the head Is unduly large, the
cause may be abnormal bone develop
ment. Lack of symmetry is an indica
tion that the bones are soft. When this
condition Is present the side on which
the baby lies most constantly becomes
flattened more than the opposite side,
or if he lies on his back a great deal
flattening of the occiput occurs. The
fontanels or openings In the skull at
birth should close by the second year, j
An extremely large head with open fon.
tanels would indicate hydrocephalus,
but these cases are rare. By far the
most common cause of failure of clos
ure of the fontanels, as well as
other conditions due to abnormal bone
development. Is rickets, although mal
nutrition in any form causes delay.
Free Lnngi Essential.
"If the chest measurements are less
than required to correspond with other
proportions the cause will usually be
some obstruction In the air passages,
such as adenoids or enlarged tonsils.
The air cannot enter the lungs and
consequently they do not expand, and
the chest remains small and undersized.
The blood is not properly oxygenated
and the child becomes weak, aenemlc
and a prey to colds, coughs and all the
ailments of childhood.
"The free expansion of the lungs de
termines the size of the chest, and if
Interfered with by anything which nar
rows the lumen of the airway, it is
surprising how quickly the chest meas
urements lag behind. Lack of chest de
velopment may be due to other causes,
such as the need of fresh air and exer
cise, improper feeding, etc.
"The mental test used is the Blnet
Simon standard of mental measure
ment which is so much talked about
and so necessary in the classification
of children in the schools. These tests
have revolutionized the training and
education of children and have enabled
educators to fit the work to the child
rather than to mold the child to the
work.
"The most vital questions of all are
those relating to feeding, whether
breast fed or bottle fed. The keynote
of the baby's development is struck
here. The bottle fed baby is working
under a terrific handicap. No food or
modification has so far been produced
on which a child will thrive as on
mother's milk, and in 90 out of 100
bottle-fed babies malnutrition with Its
long list of manifestations ensues.
"It is important that the child sleep
alone and that the windows be kept
open. In this way he has freedom of
movement, even temperature, proper
covering and plenty of oxygen."

MUSIC ADVERTISES CURRY
Orchestra Tours Southern Oregon In
Behalf of County.
The Agness orchestra has been mak
ing a seven-weeks' tour of Josephine,
Douglas, Coos and Curry Counties, Ore
gon, and Del Norte County, California,
advertising Curry County. The orches
tra is under the direction of R. Con
verse Norton, who is a graduate of the
New England and Columbia conserva
tories of music. He settled in Curry
County a year ago to engage in min
ing. He organized the orchestra of 14
pieces about eight months ago. Agness
is about 30 miles above Gold Beach,
a little backwoods town on the Rogue
River, reached by river and trail. Be
side Mr. Norton the personnel of the
orchestra is: A. J. Berg and O. Powell,
of Crescent City: Mrs. Lucas and her
sons. Lawrence. Clifford and Donald;
Charles and Francis Scanlon; Martha,
Prank and Teller Price, Ola Jones and
Robert Mgren.
The orchestra has played to packed
houses in all the towns in Southern
Oregon, the boy soloists, Francis Scan
lon and Lawrence Lucas making a big
hit with flute and clarinet.
Mr. .Norton wants to show the people
of Oregon that Curry is on the map,
and conceived the idea of the orchestra
as the best way to do it. He consid
ers that Curry County is one of the
richest undeveloped districts on the
Coast. The population is still small,
but Mr. Norton believes that the time
is not far distant when it will provide
homes for many seekers of its coal,
gold and other minerals, its dairy and
fruit lands and its wealth of timber.

Halloween Festivities Provided' for
35 Babies at Bay Nursery on
Tvrelfth Street by Mrs.
Oscar R-ittenberg .
BY EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES.
There were 35 ghosts and SS pump
kins at the Day Nursery on Twelfth
street on Halloween, but the pumpkins
and the ghosts were all made of marsh
mallows and they were part of the
menu planned by Mrs. Oscar Ritten
berg for the pleasure of the 85 babies
of the nursery.
It was just the grandest party Im
aginable; everything was good, but
nothing would hurt the digestions of
the tiny guests. After the happy group
had been seated there were "Ohs" and
"Ahs" of delight and as soon as the sig
nal was given the kiddles took a bite
out of the bread and jelly and tried
the marshmallow ghost who proudly
stood with his stick-candy support
planted in a little sponge cake at each
place. There was a cup of cocoa for
every one and a nice ripe red apple for
all except the tiny tots. The younger
babies sat in their high chairs and the
big children in chairs and on benches
round the table. ,
The decorations were & source of ad
miration, the black cats and witches
making a strong contrast to the golden
pumpkins and scarlet apples.
Little Ones Too Busy to Talk.
When the photographer took the
flashlight two of the babies howled,
but their fright was soon forgotten and
the tears were soaked up in the sponge
cake. There wasn't much conversation
at this party every one waa too busy
eating. After the ghosts were gone
the candy stick was Just fine to suck
and when It was all over the little
sticky hands were all washed and the
babies with shining faces were ready
to go home with their mothers.
Before the feast the kiddies had a
wonderful time playing in the nurserv.
After the games they all crowded round
miss Amy Kochester, who had come to
tell them stories. Marvelous tales nt
beautiful princesses and fairies, and
of good little boys and girls were list
ened to as Miss Rochester held the
children's attention. She used words
that were simple; she was a child with
the children. The nurses hovered near
as much attracted by the clever story
teller as were the babies.
At the East Side nursery there was
another and similar party, not quite
so large, Dut every bit as interesting.
Mrs. C. H. Prescott and Mrs. Louis Mead
assisted by other members provided the
goodies and the babies had a beautiful
Halloween festivity.
The Day Nursery Is conducted by the
Portland Fruit and Flower Mission, of
which Mrs. E. C. Mears is president and
several score society and philanthropic
women are active members.
Children Well Cared For.
The institution has proved a great
help to women who work by the day,
for they can leave their little ones in
the clean, well kept nursery and know
that they win be well cared for all
day long. There are tiny snow white
cribs, where tte afternoon naps are
taken; there is a dining-room, a big
playroom, a spotless kitchen, nurseries,
everything, in fact, that is homelike.
Presiding over all is a matron with
trained nurses as assistants.
All who are in any way connected
with the Day Nursery have in their
hearts a real love for babies, so that
theirs is a labor of love, as well as a
skilled profession. The babies are all
good to look at in their clean ging
ham aprons. They are healthy and
happy and well behaved. What more
could they be?

WILD LIFE STUDIED
Natural History of Oregon Is to
Be Published.
MANY FILMS TO BE MADE
State Game and Fish Warden Will
Work In Conjunction With Uni
versities and Colleges In
Gathering Facta Together.
Birds, mammals and fish of the State
of Oregon will in a few months have
their complete pedigrees through all
agres, and the location of their point of
migration traced to a nicety. State
Game Warden William L. Flnley is now
working in conjunction with the offi
cers of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, Reed College, Willamette Uni
versity and the University of Oregon to
have the natural history of the state
published.
This Is in connection with the work
which the biological survey of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture has set about to accomplish.
The Idea of the gigantic undertaking
Involving every state of the Union is to
find the economic value of the fauna
involved. The results, with photo
graphs, will be published in pamphlet
and book form for future reference and
to supplement the knowledge on hand.
The work will be done by students
and instructors of the colleges. Part
will be taken from past experiments
and specimens now on hand, while
much of it will be from original re
search in the field.
The State Fish and Game Commission
is starting out to take several miles of
film of the state fish hatcheries, the
men at work, scenes on the fishing
grounds of both the commercial fish
eries, and the sportsmen and other
points and doings of Interest.
The fish and game of the State of
Oregon will have a big exhibit at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition in 1915. The
specimens, photographs and data col
lected in the survey to be made for the
biological survey will be exhibited
there for the first time.

It is expected to have men from the
game service give lectures on the game
resources of the state in connection
with the many miles of film which will
be reeled off between now and the
opening of the fair.
MR. PARKISONS ARGUMENT
Reaaona for Opposition to S 175,000
University Appropriation.
PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 1. (To the
Editor.) The supporters of the ref
erendum against building appropria
tions in the amount of $175,000 for the
University of Oregon are the victims
of a special law and the oversight of
the undersigned; therefore, they have
no argument supporting the referen
dum in the State Bulletin to Voters.
There has been much said by the so
called friends of "higher learning"
and in the Interests of fair play I am
going to ask you for hearing.
Those who applied the referendum
prepared an argument for the voters'
bulletin and the undersigned prepared
to file the same with the Secretary
of State, in accordance with the regu
lar initiative and refeendum laws.
Therefore I was Informed by the
Secretary of State that the last Legis
lature passed a special law requiring
that all arguments must be submitted
within 12 days after the filing of the
referendum petition; therefore, our
league was out and there is no argu
ment. The members of the Oregon
Higher Educational Betterment League
raised money and applied the refer
endum on appropriations for building
purposes only in the amount of $175,-
000. This left the university with
maintenance appropriations at Eugene
of $350,000 biennially; $100,000 of this
was an additional appropriation made
by the last session of the Legislature.
This Is support for the university in
the amount of $304 per student.
The object of the members of the
league is to defeat the building ap
propriations only, so that the question
pertaining to the problems of our
schools of higher learning can be con
sidered at our next election before
more money is put in permanent im
provements at Eugene, and also to re
view the act of the last Legislature in
granting unto the university a mill tax
appropriation which will start January
1, 1915, at something like $600,000 bi
ennially. The league at its meeting last Spring
passed a resolution declaring its wish
to have the present referendum sus
tained; that is, at next Tuesday's elec
tion. ' Following this, and at the next
general election. It will present a con
stitutional amendment to the voters of
the state which will consolidate the
University and Agricultural College
and place the same on a reasonable
mill property tax, and have the school
managed Independently of the legisla
tive assembly by a board of regents
composed of men and women engaged
In the world's useful work.
The league members have advanced
the argument that the university at
Eugene Is not properly located, and.
secondly, by having a united institu
tion, the educational value per dollar
expended would be greater than at
present. It Is contended further that
the law-makers, who are elected from
the district where the university is
located, trade their votes and influ
ence against good laws and In favor of
vicious ones so that they can get a
greater amount of the taxpayer's
money for "higher education." This
condition of affairs would be stopped
by having the schools consolidate and
supported by a direct mill tax and
managed by a board of practical men
and women, a sort of commission gov
ernment. The league hopes to see the voters
vote "No" against building appropria
tions only at next Tuesday's election.
