Husky Babies Is Aim of Uncle Sam

experiments in a race of husky young
giants, to whom sickness and i'll
health Will be a rarity. To first re-
move the cause for illness and then
replace poor food with good will be
the aim of the experiment. and the
results are expected to be evident in
the human machine thus constructed.
The movement is the result of nu-
merous inquiries from parents and
others who have suggested that there
might be a possibility of impurities
in childrens foods. For time eX-
periments on a small scale have been
carried on, but it has been made ap-
parent to Dr. Wiley that more ex-
tensive investigation into the subject
will not only reveal the fact that there
are impurities in the foods now Of
fered on the market, but will show a
way to bring about better conditions
of health for children generally.
DR.. Wiley believes that the manu-
facturers Eill have the matter as
much at heart as will the bureau of
chemistry, and for this reason he is
asking each maker of babies foods
to make a report not only on the kinds
of foods sold by him, but what he
would deem proper food.
1t is from the physicians, however,
that the best information is expected
because of their intimate dealings
with actual conditions.
In connection with the inquiry a
special investigation will be made into
foods for the use of invalids and that
used in hospitals in the treatment OF
the sick

The Spring Schedule Is Made
Up of Six Track
Contests.

PRINCETON, April S.--After a par
ticularly successful season on the in
door track Coach Copeland has started
his charges to work on the cinder track
out of doors. The spring track sched-
ule, as arranged by Manager J. HaV-
ron, jr., consists of six meets, including
the intercollegiates at Philadelphia on
May 20 and 80.
The first event of the season will be
the Penn relay games, at Philadelphia.
on April %, in which the Tigers will
enter a relay team in the two-mile
event, as in past years. The annual in
terscholastic meet, under the auspices
of the Princeton Track Association, in
which all the Eastern preparatory
schools enter teams, will be held on
May q
Although only two of the Princeton
point winners in last years intercol-
legiate meet, Captain J. c.. Atlee and
Ralph Gamble, are eligible for the team
this spring, good many of the strong
est Tiger track men were unable to en-
ter the intercollegiates last spring, and,
in addition, the freshman team last
spring developed many good men, who
will be available this year
Among these are q. II. Whiteley, the
holder of the interscholastic half-mile
record: d. M. McFadyen, in the weight
events; d. M. Smith. in the dashes, and
w. F. Talbot, in the high and broad
jumps.
w. B. Connors. the all-round cham
pion of the university, will also be
eligible this season. Connors is the
most versatile man on the team. One
of the fastest sprinters on the cinder
track, he has also made his mark in

Big Shortstop Said to Have Held
Out for $4,000
Salary.

PITTSBURG, April SLAMS Wagner,
after. the game at Wichita on Monday,
went to Winfield, Kan, with President
Dreyfuss and Manager Clarke. There
they probably had a conference anent
the Wagner question This was the
second important meeting held on the
same subject this year
1t was said yesterday by people who
think they are on the inside that
similar meeting was held at the resi-
dence of John S. Robb in Carnegie
some weeks ago. At that meeting, 1t
is. alleged Wagner declared he would
not play unless he was paid $4,000 a
wear, and that Harry Smith must be
signed at certain figure. Wagner, it
is said, was paid Il salary of $4,000 last
year. President Dreyfuss was willing
to give him $1,000, and later raised the
figure to $4,000. But Wagner wanted
$4,000 or would not think of playing.
The conference broke up without any
result.
The fact that President Dreyfuss
came here from Hot Springs and then
left for Kansas with Wagner, picking
up Smith at Massillon, seems to bear
No matter what the trouble is be-
tween Wagner and the club, if Hans
jumps into the game all will be for
gotten. This conference at Clarke's S
ranch may change the calculations OF
many prophet and incidentally fill the
local fans with joy and elateness. The
signing of Wagner will be hailed with
delight all over the circuit, in fact, all
over the country.
