(Chicago Tribune) fteprtnted by request. ( Not our own.) CHARLES LINDBERGH, JR. TSL"jl.,IA' the first liirlli in u fiunily is ,-i niatlcr of oiitslnml ing importance tu 'only a xiinill urmip of people-, tlie parents, nraiilpai-ents, perhaps a few slray eoiiKins, uncles and aunts. Tlie local paper may have a modest notice, birth cards may even hi; sent out, letters of congratulation received, hut Old Man World, lie jes fjoes twirling nlonii, completely unaware, that an event of sueli shattering significance, has even occurred. This is particularly true in this country, or any oilier Democ racy, where no royal family is recognized, and no salule of a ureat many jruns, hails the. birth of the first' boy, to I In; rcixuiii!! Kin jr and Queen;'- Hut it is very different today, with the birth, of the first baby a Koldeu haired son, to Colonel ami .Mrs;. Charles A. Iindhei'Kh. Although the young man is blissfully unaware of the fact, he has made .June -L', 1!l:l(l, a very i in orl ( 1 1 date in American history. , J .'. ' I "IIKKK may be no military salui.s, or waving flags, but as far as popular interest is concerned, no Monarchy ever hailed the advent of an heir,' in the royal palace', with more enthusiasm and delight, than the .eople of the I'niled States, hail the birth of Charles A. Lindbergh .lunior. , , Willi every newspaper in I he land today, he is front page news. All over the civilized world his birlh is chronicled. For many weeks his daily progress will be noted, no delail concern ing him will be too slight to mention, ami from now until Christinas, his pictures will be at n premium, for Sunday features. For while we worslilp'no Kings, and greatness in the land of the free, is not inhibited, we do worship our heroes, and grant to tlien'i and their offspring a place in our minds and hearts, which' tlie 'proudest wearer of the royal ermine, might well envy. i XK i" fact a inil ion of hero worshippers. And ever since that flight to Taris Liudy has, in spite of his efforts to prcvunl it, been our national hero. Scrape the flying helmet, from any American urchin, and you will' find another potential liindy. Every school boy wants to fly. Kvery .school girl, well if she doesn't want to fly, she must have a Prince Charming who will. And the grown ups haven't been far behind. They will walk on the face of their dearest neighbor to get a closer view of bindy, and shatter the laws of the land, lo steal a button from his shirt, en mule to tin; laundry. As has been remarked before, our national habit is to go to extremes. It is both our strength and our weakness. And be cause it is both, one may well hesitate to envy the young man, whose advent was heralded so enthusiastically yesterday. . TDK old law of action and reaction still holds. The truth nF (lint mil. it. lit Kiivimr ' I 'iiimisi' lies I lie lii.nil I lint wcni'M n crown," still represents an elemental trail of human nature. Tims far, by the most extraordinary demonstration of common sense and good judgment, a national hero has ever shown, liindy, has escaped the penalty this law usually imposes. Hut probably no one realizes more clearly than he, that sooner or laler the worm of popularity will turn. . nTKljIi our only hope, as far us this young man is concerned, is that the proverbial Ijindberg luck holds. And such luck will mean : That when the worm turns, aforesaid worm turns gradually, that the liiudberg balloon, that the American people have in sisted upon inflating, never explodes, but deflates so slowly, and filially settles to earth so .quietly and naturally, that the end of the ascension is scarcely noticed. For then, it seems to us, Lindbergh .lunior, would have the chance that the son of a lucky known only as the son of America's greatest post-war hero, hut to be known as just another American boy, judged not by what his father did, or who his mother was, but fortunate only in an honored name, lo have a perfectly free chance to demon strut e, that by character and of it. Those prophets who said the next war would be in the air may have mean! the war between Wildcat Duncan and Hie chain stores. ' Scienlists declare they have now perfected the perfect poison for every bug. Will they please announce the perfect poison for the humbug in polities. : Well you can lake your choice. The latest vital statistics show that prohibition offers a new way, of living or a new way of dying. The law most hated by young criminals is the one about earning your bread by the sweat of your brow.

This argument made one of the ordinary doctoTH present at the hearing gag a hit. 1 lo remarked that a sick man recovers bent under the care of the doctor in whom he has confidence. Another ordinary doctor, though not a cotillion leader, observed that "It isn't alway because of ex traordinary ability and skill that .) hysiuians are designated hy cm ployers or insurance carriers to treat injured workmen. Tho thing that counts is the financial con sideration. They pick whoever will contract to treat patients at the cheapest rate." Sometimes the doctor the em ployer provides Is one of the beHt. NeverthelusH, it Is depressing to til ink that the American work man or even the workman in America, should bo so abject as to accept meekly the doctor the plant chooses If he hap a doctor of his own he prefers. It Is. tu my mind, a scandalous thing that a legislative hearing should he necessary to settle such n question.

I wonder If all mothers who rend your articles know how tu clear out a outiH baby's nose. My baby was so "stopped up" he could hardly breathe. I laid him on hiH Htomach, head lowered, rind lot httn hnUo n L'fiod LTV. Then I let him go to sleep in that position. It Hureiy woriteu well. In the morning hl pilhiw slip needed changing badly. I be lieve It saved his hie. 1 havo since tried It with our other three chil dren and It Is alwayb a great re lief. ( Mrs. A. U) Answer It is a good. sensi ble, scientific way to help' a baby, or for that matter an adult,- when the nose, throat or chest is "stopped up." I'erHona who suffer with bronchitis or re lated conditions often find much relief by occupying such a posi tion even for a short time; or hetter, leaning out of bed with the handa and arms resting on the floor, for tie vera 1 ininuteH on awakening In the morning. Algebra More Difficult Thau Cockroaches. t As a eoTi.-'tant reader ,1 aurely appreciate your column. You in structed ine how to get rid ' of roaches. I followed directions nml in a week not one was left. As an cx-teacher 1 heartily . agree with you In the proposal to "kick algebra out of the public schools and give future citizens some edu cation in tho care und feeding of babies." (1 M.) Answer. Of the two evils I think algebra Is the wor.st, though roaches aro moro readily extirpa ted. Tho Poor Ilahy I have ti baby girl H months old, fat and strong-looking. I feed her only breast milk, urrow root biscuit and orange juico once a day. Should I give her anything else as long as I continue to nurse her? (O. J. A.)) Answer. Yea. she should have a bottle of milk dally, or better a feeding of milk from cup. Then when It comes time to wean her. In another: month, you will have no trouble Just one more bottle or cup feeding and ono lesy breast feeding daily, so that It is all over In a week. The baby should begin to take the pulp of stewed fruit or vegetables now. Send a stamped envelope bear ing your address and ask for in structions for weaning and feed ing the baby. The arrowroot bis cuit and orange juice are all right. Other fresh fruit juice and tomato juice (fresh or factory canned tomato) may be used in stead, nnd some such fresh fruit juice should be given every baby from the age of 3 months or earlier, dally. Tho pulp of. ripe banana (raw) Is an excellent thing to feed a young infant, es pecially where there Is malnutrit ion, and tho constipation of un derfeeding. (Copyright John V. Dllle Co.) PUZZLESA TRAVELER LTELZKN. Gernmi.y.
