Expert Tells How to Develop the Eaby Physically -IDEAL 2-YEAR-OLDYOUNGSTER i Professor F. B. Magee Finds I Atlanta's Perfect Apollo, Jr., in Robert W. Chambers. Th? quest of the ideal Atlanta baby" '•ont .hues. Today is presented a likeness of At lanta's physically perfect two-yea:-"'J youngster. Master Robert W Chambers (no relation to the Cosmopolitan s no . f famous contributor). '• In meaxurementa this child ap ’ proaches nearer tile Ideal than any of several hundred Atlanta youngster' of' , this ago examined by The Georgian’’ Ideal baby commissioner. Professor E i It. Magee, physical cultu and baby ex i pert. According to Profess »• M a g r I f i I I V I # r v ; <■ X • ” X e s this is the ideal baby of two years There may be larger babies of that age —probably are. for Robert is exactly s the average weight of the average 24- months-old kiddo —but none, so says the professor, equals this one in -ym t metry and Apollo,Jr..-like development No doubt there will be protests from proud parents. If there are 689 two- 5 year-old infants in Atlanta, there will 1 be 1,378 parents who believe that their 1 own two-year-older is not only supe- J rior in physique to R. William, here 1 presented, but likewise superior to all ’ the rest of the two-year-olds. Not Too Late To Develop Baby. A tape measure, honestly applied, will give the answer. Try it on the baby, it p you have one two years old, and see how the measurements stack up with those published. If they aren’t as good, there Is no time like the present for starting sys tematic exercises for developing tin ' kid. ’ Professor Magee has prepared for Tlie Georgian nine rules for the devel opment of children from their 24th to ( their 36th month, which are here given: 1. Teach the child to sit on your hand. This affords it exercise in bal anelng, which strengthens the body muscles. Children usually begin to sit alone at seven or eight months. At nine or ten months they begin to try to stand alone. Don’t hurry this. 2. As soon as the child begins to walk, which should be at the twelfth or thirteenth month, teach it to stand on your hand. This requires some bal ance. and is a developer of body mus cles. e 3. Teach the child to hang by its hands from your fingers. In the sec ond year a child should develop a strong grip p Never Jerk the Little Fellow, 4. Holding the child by one arm, pull it from the floor and hold il momen tarily. Repeat with the other arm, then with one leg and then the other. This ] is fine exercise for the child, and . strengthens the joints. Don’t jerk. 5. Teach the child to make a "bridge." This "bridge" should be , formed with the child’s head and hands on the floor as one support of the bridge and their feet the other, while the front part of the body is upward. This I strengthens many musi’les, especiallj I those of the stomach. 6. Put up a bar somewhere in the * yard within reach of the child. It will hang and swing by this and strengthen Its hands and arms. 7. As the child's legs strengthen, al low it to stand on your shoulders, first ’ with your hands there to steady it and II later by itself. Always Make Play of It. 8. Make a "wheelbarrow" of the child —that is, of course, grab it by the legs ' and allow it to w alk along on its bands. * This strengthens arm, leg and back ' muscles. 11 9. Be sure that you make "play" out of It. If the child suspects it is work : 11 It will get no pleasure and small profit s out of it. Since the cult of "child development"' f has extended from the mental tn ’the s physical side of their life much progress r. has been made in developing the bodies of babies.

Reducing Gambling in Half Would Release $350,000,000 to Country, Says Expert. Continued From Page One. , tember 21. 1912, between Lewisohn I Bros., Solomon & Co. and Hollgarten & Co. and another was a letter of par ticipation in the allotments of stock. The agreement showed the original capital stock authorized was $35.- 090.000. equally divided between pre ferred and common stock. The state ment showed that only Lewisohn Bros, were parties to the $5,000,000 "market ing syndicate.” Lewisohn said he did not kno.v whether any national banks had par ticipated. Each investor that Lewisohn Bros, were supposed to represent was allowed to buy for $111.50 a share of preferred and a share of common. Lew isohn admitted that his "profit stock was used to make the market active. The stock was sold on the curb before it was listed on the New York stock exchange, but the witness did not know whether he had ordered any sold on the curb. Lewisohn was prompted by a man sitting near him and then he said he did remember that he had bought some California Petroleum stock on the curb. “Who told you that?" asked Unter meyer. “A gentleman back here,” said tne witness, pointing to a man sitting be hind him. "While you were testifying?" “Yes.” “Well, then, we will call him," said Untermeyer. “He ought to have som? expert knowledge about the curb busi ness in this stock.” Prompter Refreshes Witness' Memory. Lewisohn admitted no knowledge of any of the details of the transactions on the curb. He said he did not quite see how it was any of the public’s busi ness as to what profit he and his asso ciates made out of the syndicate opera tions. He knew it was the practice in England to take public statements of all such matters, and finally said that if there were a law in the United States to make such matters public it would keep capitalization down and enable the public, in Untermeyer’s words, "o know where the “wind and water" were. Memory Refresher Called to Stand. J. F. Peter, a member of the firm of Lewisohn Bros., who had prompted Lewisohn. said he had acted in connec tion with representatives of the other members of the Lewlsohn-Solomon- HoHgarten syndicate in marketing Cal ifornia Petroleum, both on the stock exchange and on the curb. He said lie conferred with them each day by tele phone. • "Did you arrange your sales and pur chases to fit the situation as to whether the public came in or not?” "No, we sold it, as there was a de mand.” "A demand on part of the public?” "Yes.” Peter admitted that he gave both buying and selling orders. He said the stock was sold “if and when delivered” on the curb before it was listed on the New York stock exchange. He told how the transactions the first month it was listed amounted to three and a half times the capital stock.
