"Save the babies!"
"Baby's health. Is nation's
wealth!"
These and similar slogans are be
ing carried into every nook and cor
ner of this vast country, for it is
"baby health week" all over the
United States. Right here in Omaha
the observance begins today and will
extend over into next week, but that
Is because the exhibit planned for
this week couldn't be In Omaha and
Lincoln at the same time.
Why a Baby Week?
Because it has'been demonstrated
that the business of being a baby is
a pretty hazardous occupation some
times under the supervision of care
less, incompetent or ignorant moth
ers and nursesi
Itraaona far Bubjr Wek.
Baby week was Instituted for two rea
sons: First, to Blvo the parents of a
community-the opportun4ty -of learning
the farts with regard to the care of their
babies; second, to make known to a com
munity the importance of its babies, the
sperljl facts relating, to their majesties
and the need of permanent work for their
welfare.
The movement originated with Mrs.
Teref Pennybacker, president of the Gen
eral Federation of Women'a clubs, and re
ceived the earnest co-operation of the
federal children's bureau, headed by Miss
Julia Lathrop.
How to ; send the appeal "Pave the
Babies!" Into the greatest number of
homes where the need is urgent, is the
problem of the club women. Tha work
is principally educational, giving the par
tita of the community an opportunity to
learn' how to care for their babies. One
point emphasized is that it Is sound
eoonomy to reduce sickness and death
among babies.
Every Phaa of Child Life.
Evry phase of child life, prenatal in
fluences, birth registration, health, civic
and moral training, food, clothing, ques

Dri Butler Says New
Type of University
Responds to Needs
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia university, addressing mem
bers of the , University club at noon,
eferred to the new type of American
university aa an institution which Is
progressive and. responsive to the social,
political, economic and industrial prob
lems) of the country.
"This new type of university represents
the best ideas of the universities of Ger
many, France and England, and has
broadened into an institution of greater
catholicity than the universities of
Kuropc," said the doctor.
"Forty, or fifty years ago our unlver- '
sltlea closed their doors, to branches- of ! .
learning which were taught in schools ' aua
of specialization, but gradually there
evolved an Institution where all the
branches or specialized training .were in
cluded. Pome cities in England have
followeor the American university idea.
The spirit of our university is to render
service, to enlist men who are leaders
in thought, research and investigation. ;
Our university is progressive in the very
best Bense. It stands for scholarship of
the highest type," continued the Colum
bia president. ''
Dr. Butler was introduced by Victor
Hoscwater, who said he might In truth
introduce the speaker as financier, odi- ;
tor and university president. I

Where Did You Get That Pretty Dress?
"Where did you get that pretty dress, Mrs. White? Did you make it?"
"Of course not! I'm not dressmaker enough to do that. I bought it
right here in town, and I only paid $1.50 for it. This is one of those
Mina Taylor Dresses
"that you see advertised so much. I formerly made my own dresses
but never again! .
"Look at the style of this dress. Sio how jxrfectly it fits. Notice how
roomy it is through the hips. Examine those buttonholes perfect,
corded and non-ripping.
"When I want to do the house work, I put on a cheaper MINA TAY
LOR Dress. When I want to lounge around the house, or make a neigh
borhood call, I put on one of these better ones. I wouldn't be with
out several for twice the price they cost me."

Elinor Glyn, in "The Career of Katherlne
Bush," which develops rapidly in the April Cos
mopolitan, gives you in intimate detail the pic
ture of one English girl's life.
And Elinor Glyn has the courage and the
power to write so that you are actually in the
room with the people of her story.
Every whiff of haunting perfume every
flutter of dainty lace has the exaggerated value
that it has in life, for a bit of ribbon has over
thrown an. Empire.
"The Career of Katherine Bush" is terribly
real, terribly human; it gives you a picture of
British smart social life that explains much.
Besides all of which
It's enormously entertaining.
