What possible claim could Lane have had to that? She read on, little of it being clear, then rustled through the sheets to come to Lane Makes Surprise Withdraw! of Suit. Arleta had started to read this when she heard voices, and evPn as she heard them she was aware of Miss Carson coming to her side. "But my copies were stolen and I must check on certain facte." Arleta looked up. Miss Carson standing, could see beyond to the reception desk. "I have the dates here. Hold this while I delve Into this bag of mine; that's a love." Miss Carson's hand was on Ar leta's houlder holding her down then suddenly she had caught Arleta by the arm and was pull ing her down the aisle, trying to make progress with the bulky file under her other arm. "Hold everything," she ordered, pushing Arleta into a rickety chair. . A moment later she had i. acrewed the metal holders of the file, neatly removed the news papers which covered the Langtry case, screwed the holders back and slipped down an ' aisle to place her experiences in writing that first pamphlet, considered some what revolutionary in the way of government publications in that clay. The first year that "Infant Care" was published. 63,000 copies went out. In 1949, the Children's Bureau figures, at least 1.600,000 copies will reach the mother of the na tion. That's one book for nearly every new mother. A graduate of the University of Minnesota at the turn of the cen tury. Mrs. West spent a year in free-lance writing before she got married and had five children. Wid owed when the last child was still a baby, she began writing again. Miss Julia Latlirop, then head of the newly established Children's Bureau, asked her to write "In fant Care". "I must have been a very cock sure person." Mrs. West told Miss Katharine Lenroot, chief of the Bureau. "I blithely set to work on my assignment. I had gone through the experience five times there for I must know all about it. But as I worked my cocksureness began to evaporate. Instead of knowing it all, I found I was about as ignor ant of the scientific side of my subject as were the women who were appealing to us so hopefully. So one fine day, I took out my precious manuscript and tore it into bits, thankful that no eyes but my own had seen it." Mrs. West then began reading up on the subject of the Library of Congress, took courses at a local medical school, sought the advice of leading obstetricians. How time has changed, or confirmed, the ideas on the care of babies during the first year shows up in a com parison of the earliest and latest editions of the book. When Mrs West wrote the first edition, home pasteurization of milk was describ ed in detail because commercially pasturized milk was not widely available. No reference at all was made of cod liver oil, or to im munization measures. In 1914 fruit juice was recommended for the baby seven or eight months of age. Nowadays mothers give it to two-week-olds. "Infant Care" is one of the five booklets published by the Chil dren's Bureau for parents on child care, from the prenatal period through adolescence. It sells for 15 cents a copy and may be pur chased from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C.

In another moment she was back, steering the still silent Ar leta down another aisle and back through the door and thence down a spiral stairway. And from there; into a cretonne draped rest room. "Whew," gasped Caro Carson, "sit down and have a cigarette. That was a close one." "But what on earth happened?" Arleta asked. "That was Allene Lane asking for these copies," Caro Carson brought the offending members from under her coat. "And if anyone knew I had them I'd be tired. Now tell me what's up. A suit year ago and suddenly, like that, today the daughters of both men show." "I don't know why Allene want ed them." Arleta said, "but believe me, I told you the truth." Miss Carson blew out a thin streamer of smoke. "And for some fool reason I believe you. Which brings on more thought. Why should the sultry Allene bring in the blond Adonis, what's his name? You know, that chap from Virginia who was here a couple of months ago? Oh yes, Cal Sheridan." "Cal!" Arleta sprang up. "Oh, but he can't be here," she cried. "I mean, he'd have let me know. Why, he's my fiance." Caro Carson, arose in one mo tion. "Sit right," she ordered, and disappeared. ' .-'j .' ' (To he continued) It Does Not Take Many Words For Us To Say A Lot . . .
