BUREAU PAP IS NOW DISPENSED
TO ALL BABIES FROM WASHINGTON
■—i.. I >n*
WHO said that the United States government is pater
nalistic? Whoever did got his words mixed. What
he meant was maternalistic.
I he children’8 bureau of the department of labor, ably
"•resided over by Miss Julia Lathrop, is undertaking to be a
not ter to all the babies in the Unite dStates, including Alaska
ind the insular dependencies.
In a bulletin just issued tin* bureau lays down rules for
the treatment of the baby which will keep tin* little fellow
pang some. To begin with the bureau says that a baby should
have a full tub bath every morning and then, if lie is restless
Snd the weather is very hot, lx* may have in addition one or
two sponge baths a day, and then a cool bath at bedtime some
times makes a baby sleep more comfortably. While all this
washing may be the proper thing for a baby that can’t fight
back, it certainly would go hard with a boy of say 8 or 10.
The bureau directs that in bathing the little precious, two
wash cloths should be used, one for the face and' head and the
other for the body. It says:
^ A young baby should be carefully held while in the tub.
The mother puts her left hand under the baby’s left arm and
supports the neck and head with her forearm. But an older
baby can sit alone nnd in summer may be allowed to splash
about in the cool water for a few minutes.
Leaving a little hiatus here for the baby to kick around in
the water the bureau proceeds with its instructions:
When the bath is finished the baby should be patted’dry.
This does not mean that the baby should be spanked—just
patted.
Directions for giving the little dear bran baths, starch
baths and soda baths are set forth and then tlx* bureau comes
to the matter of clothing:
Do not be afraid to take off the baby’s clothes in summer.
All he needs in hot weather are the diaper and one other
garment.
The bulletin, which goes into details as to clothing for
varying shades of temperature, etc., etc., etc., shows that Uncle
Sam has all of the qualifications of a good mother, as well as a
fond’ and loving father, and that lie is qualifying himself to
become the piffle editor of a large and prosperous Ladies’
Kitchen Comjourazine.
-—
It is good to see that Governor Spry, before the meeting of
the governors at Seattle, spoke for better defenses for the
west coast states. That is all good, but in truth “the gods help
those who help themselves.” We would be glad to see the states
themselves, begin at once to train their young men in the per
formance of the simpler military lessons; glad to see the states
together urging the making of more ammunition and the train
ing of more state guards for service in the field. The very fact
that such preparation was going on would be the very best
»insurance against war that could be taken out, and would be
of vast help were a war to come.
Since our government was founded, we have had' a war
with every generation and we have no guarantee that this gen
eration will escape.
-:o:
A community without co-operation is like a boatman who
has lost his oar. You can’t imagine a more helpless cjuse.
Unable to get anywhere, there is no course but to drift with
the ebb and flow of circumstance. Once lost, it is hard, indeed,
to recover the oar. But surely we don’t have to get into this
dangerous plight. It’s our own fault if we do. Co-operation,
like rowing a boat, must be studied and learned. And we can
only learn it through practice. The practiced oarsman never
lets go of the oar. And if we would keep from drifting we
must practice co-operation. Let’s get into practice and keep
in practice. Let us pull together in everything that means
progress for our home town. It’s a case of sink or swim
“together.”
-:o:
The proposition to buy lower California ought to appeal to
the Mexicans. It is a weakness to Mexico and always will be.
It is valueless to the United States except for two or three
harbors, and they, while Mexico cannot defend them, are at all
times a menace to our country.
A hostile fleet carrying an invading army could land easily
at either of them and become a mighty menace to our west
coast at any time.
There will be some very nasty questions to settle when
the European war is over and' we should be at least in a little
way prepared for what must come.
•-:o:-—
If Switzerland were to declare war on Germany, the “iron
ring” would be welded completely. And the entrance of the
Swiss into the melee is among the remote possibilities. They
have been thumbing their noses at the kaiser for several weeks/
They even butted into the Lusitania controversy though they
have nothing on the seas.

Those who find solace in high batting averages may find
a thrill in the fact that from 98 to 99 per cent of the shells made
in America and shipped to the allies explode whore they are
expected to. Uncle Sam’s murderous devices are held in high
esteem in France.
--:o:
The aurora borealis is interfering with the wireless and
communication with Germany is hampered. Let’s now see if
a whale is tangled up in the English cables. Might be respon
sible, you know, for some of the “first stories’’ from the front.
Sweden has under her hat for consideration an attack on
Russia for the recovery of Finland, grabbed years ago by the
czar. It’s the old story of everybody wanting to get in on the
ground floor when real estate is moving.

An exchange pays that Lane favored the Cordova route,
but President Wilson was afraid of the Guggies. When will
the ghost of the Guggenheim bogy be laid in Alaska we
wonder.—Juneau Dispatch.

Roumania is on the break of war for the “fulfillment of
her national ideals.” Each of the other belligerents expresses
the same lofty ambition. But the language is euphemistic,
----
Beats all how a nation can get all fussed up over the
prospect of acquiring a few acres of real estate.
