Girl Babies Found
To Be Less Costly
Than Boy Babies
Ithaca, N. Y. - IUPD - Every
one knows that babies are
costly, but here's something
that may.1 come as a surprise.
Girl babies are cheaper than
boy babies.
Many young couples who
are having their first child
i usually guide themselves by
the old nousenoia ruie uiai a
boy baby costs less because he
requires less fancy frills, cute
decorations and extra clothing
-J than a little girl. ""
But not so, says Louise
Archbold, who did quite a
bit of research on the prob
lem working on her master's
degree at the State College of
Home Economics at uorneu
University.
Arrivals Surveyed
Miss Archbold surveyed the
arrival of 50 "first bundles of
heaven" here and found they
cost a toltM of $33,834. That,
she said, broke down to an
average of S678 per baby, in
cluding gifts, medical and
hospital insurance, what the
expectant mother buys -or
makes.
Thus, for example, an even
7 pounder (babies usually
weigh-in at first in fractions)
would be worth almost S97 a
pound.
Miss Archbold turned to
current mail order catalogue
prices to figure the dollar
value of infant goods and fur
nishings, plus mama's mater
nity outfits. She also counted
up the usual gifts, borrowed
cribs and things the expectant
parents - frequently, a moth
er-to-be who knits - makes at
home.
The average dollar outlay
per boy. she found, broke
down to: $79 purchased; S133
gifts; S31 borrowed; S12
home-produced.
On that basis, a girl costs
a little less, or about $235
Miss Archbold said she can't
explain why.
Miss Archbold also reported
finding

-Student families bought
less but made more baby
things.
Toys led the special gifts
received by babies, she said
but there were exceptions.
Gifts of Practical Nurse
In her research, Miss Arch
bold found one infant - or
new mother - who enjoyed a
gift of the services of a prac
tical nurse for two weeks.
There also was a baby who
received a heifer from his
grandparents.
"My fathev's hobby is farm
ing," the baby's mother told
Miss Archbold. "Every time
he learns of an addition to the
family-to-be he selects one of
his choice calves and fattens
same."
The mother said that the
parents can either leave the
animal on the farm for the
child or have it sent to mar
ket. "We chose the market and
the baby received a check for
the amount it brought," she
said.
"However, all is not lost
when the money is spent
When the baby is five years
old he, personally, will re
ceive a heifer from grandpa."
Woman Sentenced

of manslaughter.
At a pre-sentence hearing
before Circuit Judge Val Slo

the slaying followed an all

sible for a sharp increase in
the purchasing power of the
consumer's food dollar.
He said Americans now can
buy three times as much food
for an hour of work as
1916, the year self-service was
introduced. Figures released
by the association showed that
a basket of food that could
be bought for $8.60 today
would have cost $9.12 in 1952.
Food chains with four or
more stores have accounted
for about 40 per cent of total
food sales for the last 30
years.
Mass distribution, Marcus
sorted, has resulted in Amer
icans eating much better than
a generation ago. But he add
ed that we are actually eating
less in terms of pounds of
food.
Stabilizing Effect
Mass distribution is having
a stabilizing' effect on econom
ic downswings, according to
Claude B. Edwards, president
of Alpha Beta Food Markets,
Inc. He cited the 1954 and
1957 recessions when factory
employment fell from 9 to 10
per cent while personal in
come dipped only slightly.
He explained that employ
ment in distribution and serv
ices is likely to remain fairly
steady during a recession.
Payrolls in these industries in
effect provide a cushion and
a stimulant wnicn dampen
the wide' fluctuations in na
tional income and push de
mand for durable goods back
to normal much more quickly.

Alice R. - I want my nose
done over. I could be beauti
ful. Mr. G.R. - She's beautiful
now. Why look like everyone
else?
Alice R. - I can't convince
my parents how important it
is to me to get my nose re

I'm gorgeous. But to me I'm
Miss Schnozzola.
My other features are good
and if it weren't for being all
nose I could change my hairdo
and wear exciting hats. Now
I'm limited to styles that, in
the words of the fashion col
umns, lead the eye away from
the nose.
But the deeper reason is
my self-consciousness and un
happiness. Ever since I was a
child I felt nobody saw any
part of me except my nose.
I haven't been to a plastic
surgeon yet. I'd rather go with
my mother. But if she and
my dad continue to pooh-pooh
the idea and try to talk me
out of it, I'll go alone and
figure some way to swing it.
It would make me a different
person.
Mr. G.R. - Alice is just look
ing for trouble. She doesn't
know enough about surgery to
let well enough alone. We've
seen some botched jobs come
out of the plastic surgeon's
offices. The boys and girls
wind up looking worse instead
of better.
It would be different if her
health were at stake. But this
is just vanity, a whim. She s
Eisenhower Plans
To RentSpaceon
College Campus
Gettsburg, Pa. - (UPll - Pres
ident Eisenhower will work
from an office on the campus
of Gettsburg college after he
leaves the White House on
Jan. 20, according to informed
sources.
Eisenhower has decided to
rent space in the unoccupied
home assigned to College
President Willard S. Paul, a
former World War II com
rade-in-arms, to serve as his
headquarters. Paul is living
elsewhere in Gettysburg.
Under the so-called presi
dential pension law, the chief
executive is entitled to $50,-
000 a year in federal funds to
pay office salaries and rent.
The General Services Admin
istration handles the house
keeping details.
Few Miles Drive
The President's office will
be a few miles drive from his
Gettysburg farm and only a
few blocks from the heart of
this historic civil war city,
the sources said.
Eisenhower already has
said he will make Gettysburg
his permanent base once he
leaves the executive mansion
although he has made it clear
he also will do some travel
ing in the years ahead.
The President obviously
will require an office, how
ever, if only to handle the
heavy flow of correspondence
he is sure to receive even
after his successor is installed.
One possible office would
be a glassed-in addition over
a two-car garage at the college
president's house. But some
sources said another section
of the building would be
converted into office space
for Eisenhower's use.
Paul, wartime commander
of the 26th infantry division
and a staff officer under Ei
senhower in Europe, became
president of the college in
1956.
Rockets To Leave
Colored Trails
Washington-OIPII -The Fed
eral Space Agency hopes to
launch at dusk today two ex- j
perimental rockets that will j
leave bright orange-yellow
vapor trails visible along the
East Coast from Maine to
Florida.
The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration
said it would conduct high
altitude sodium vapor experi
ments from its Wallops Island,
Va., station.
The agency said, however,
that the launchings were de
pendent on clear weather
along the Atlantic Coast be
cause scientific data would be
obtained by optical means.
PROMOTE!"

Laughlin, USA, assistant to

monies recently.

a good-looking girl, if I must
say so myself, even if she has
my nose. It's the family nose
and it's never been a handi
cap to any of us, as far as I
can see. All the girls got
husbands, and all the boys
made their mark.
Let her concentrate on her
education and develop her
personality. She'll be so at
tractive no one will notice her
nose.
The Council: Mr. R. should
agree to having Alice consult
an accredited plastic surgeon ;
for a professional opinion and !
decision. As a matter of ethics, .
these physicians probe for the i
reasons behind the desire for
change, and they usually turn
down patients who come out
of whim or emotional illness, j
Surgery is always a serious i
undertaking and when it's
cosmetic rather than restora
tive or reparative, one has
some choice in the matter. To
day almost any physical attri
bute can be changed. The
question is: should it?
Alice's longing may turn
out to be completely valid. An
operation would not make her
a different person, of course,
but it might help the person
she really is come through
more clearly. Nature plays
unaesthctic tricks and while
Alice may have her father's
nose, which looks fine on her
father, she may have her
mother's dainty face.
On the other hand, she may
be obsessed with looking like
everyone else and ignoring
the fact that, from an artistic
point of view, her nose makes
her face interesting, distinc
tive and perhaps aristocratic.
Does she want to look assembly-line
or custom-made?
The real criterion is Alice's
mental health. If it's in good
shape a plastic surgeon will
discuss the pros and cons of
a change. Otherwise he'll in
sist that she have psychother
apy first, because a psycho
neurosis will not be cured
with a new nose.
Mr. R.'s objections, while
loving and typical, aren't to
the point. Surgical techniques
in this field have been highly
refined by now, so that the
degree of success is extremely
high. And if it s vanity that s
pushing Alice, one might re
mind Mr. R. that vanity is
sometimes a wholesolc moti
vation. It can indicate inter
est and pride in putting for
ward one's best self.
As to getting a husband,
that's not what noses are for!
They're to complete a face. If,
in addition, Alice's nose can
be one that pleases her
(whether the old or a new
one), a block will be removed
and the real Alice can func
tion. (Coopyright I960, General
