Despite the popularity of the long coat and the three-quarter coat, the jaunty little short coat has made a sure place for itself in the mode, es pecially In the mode for the young girl. And here Is a model any girl could make for herself in fur cloth with a collar and cuffs of itself or of real fur. A touch or two of the fur cloth on a straight slim dress will make a whole costume, especially If one is careful to n*tch the colors exactly. Wool crepe would be good for the dress, and brown Is undoubtedly the best color. (Copyright. 1*?4 ) Zendt Sings With Orpheus Chorus Mrne. Marlt* Sldenius Zendt.

Hvmn for a Household _~ By DANIEL, HENDERSON. Lord Christ,ileneath thy starry dome We light this flickering lamp of home. And where the bewildering shadows throng Uplift our prayer and evensong. Dost thou, with heaven In thy ken Seek, still a dwelling place w ith men. Wandering the world In ceaseless quest? * O Man of Nazareth, lie our guest! Lord Christ, the bird Ms nest has found, The fox Is sheltered in his ground. But dost thou still this dark earth tread And have no place to lay thy head? .Shepherd of mortals, here behold A little flock, a wayside fold That wait thy presence to be blest— O Man of Nazareth, be our gueet! —The Watchman-Examiner (N. T.) ity ami infancy, is urging women of the state to aid in the calling of these conferences. The title calls up a picture of solemn ami rosy cherubs, carrying medicine cases and dressed, like the youngster who represents "Life,’’ in a tall top hat merely, pronouncing sedate opinions In the intranslatahle language of their realm. It would be asumed that their statements dealt with hygiene. The reality is not so far a#?.v, ex cept that the medicine cases, the top hats, and the opinions would belong to the local physicians of the district. But one can best get~at the matter of baby health conferences by tell ing what they are not. t Not Baby Contest. A baby health conference is not a baby contest. No attempt Is made to interfere with the proud faith of every parent that his and her Infant is at least as perfect as any*other person's. The object of the conference is two-fold: first, to find out whether anything hinders a given youngster from realizing 100 per cent on his own physical endowment, and second to form a basis for scientific work for the improvement of health among Nebraska little ones. “Catch them young," is the motto of the doctor or nurse who really wants to cure the physical defects of a child, Most of the amazingly large crop of physical disabilities re vealed by the draft could have been cured, say medical authorities, had the sufferers received proper medical attention In infancy. But alas! the mischief is usually done and Irrepar able long before the child finds out that anything special is the matter with him. Nobody knows how many Nebras ka children are being allowed to suf fer for the lack of such attention. “We have no way," says the state department report, “of securing even a close estimate of the number of children In the state who are suf fering from physical defects. Reports from baby health conferences which have been conducted In various parts of the state Indicate that the per centage Is very high. We believe that Nebraska's real problem is the physically defective child." Not a Free Clinic. A baby health conference Is not a free clinic. It discovers and diag noses the troubles of babies, but it leaves the prescription and care of those diseases to the local physi cians and the public health nurses who follow up the work of each con ference. Each child registered for the con ference Is physically examined and a careful report made. Within six months a public health nurse from the state division of child hygiene will return to the community and do followup work, using the confer ence reports as a guide. She will call at the homes of the parents and If the defect has not been corrected, will talk with them about having It properly cared for. If a cape re oulres the care of a specialist, the family physician 1*» the natural per son to make the recommendation. The nurse only urges that the par ents see the family physician about defects found at the conference. If the parents of the child wish, she will help them make plans for the necessary medical or hospital care. The baby health conferences depend upon local physicians and public spirited people and organizations for the brunt of their work. TWFy do not Import examining physicians In nearly every community there are capable persons who are glad to give their time when they under stand the nattire and object of the plan. Community Health Center. Wherever sufficient Interest Is found In public health, the division of child hygiene will follow the con ference with the establishment of a community health center where health lectures and children s health conferences will be conducted at reg ular Intervals. Citizens and organizations Inter ested In child welfare are urged to Inquire further about theae confer ences of Mrs. C. H.
