The Baby Locomotion Article Those of you who follow the column will remember that a short time ago I ran an excerpt from an article by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka.

It was on babies who run and walk on all fours, instead of creeping. When Dr. Hrdlicka wrote, he had had reports of forty one cases. I asked those whose babies used "this unusual method, to write to me, and since I returned from my vacation I have had fifty one very interesting reports. These I will forward to Dr.

Hrdlicka, after I have had the time to make seme tabulations from them. I have noted already the same things that Dr. Hrdlicka noticed, that this running on all fours instead of the usual creeping apparently has other advantages than keeping the panties and stockings clean. The children, as a rule, walk sooner and have a little stronger development. It is not known why these babies should take this unusual method.

I want to thank all of the mothers who took the trouble to write me. Quite a few sent pictures of the babies in action and they certainly were cunning. Drooling "We are worried over our two year old son because he still drools, especially when he is excited. I have benefited much from your column and I thought you 'jould help me out on this. Do you thing this is due to his diet? He has all his teeth.

MBS. About the third month, the salivary glands become very active. The baby isn't interested in swallow ing anything but milk, so naturally the saliva collects and he nonchalantly allows it to drool out. It is not a sign of teething at this age, although when the teething begins, there will probably be more, i At your baby's age two years if in normal amounts the saliva should be under control; so it is possible that he has a slight in flammation of the mouth, causing an increased amount. If you are not feeding him correctly, this may be the cause.

He may have incipient scurvy, for soreness of the. mouth and gums is one of the symptoms of this disease; or he. may have enlarged adenoids. Drooling may be just a habit also. However, it would be advisable to go to a children's clinic or to a babyj specialist and have your baoy checked up, Mrs.
