TWENTY DROWN IN OHIO RIVER
Gasoline Launch, Heavily Loaded
with Steelworkers, Sinks.

Gasoline Launch, Heavily Loaded
with Steelworkers, Sinks.
Twenty persons We're drowned when
a gasoline launch sank in the middle
of the Ohio River near SchoenVille,
four miles below Pittsburg, Tuesday
night OF the thirty occupants of the
boat only ten escaped. All the men
were employees of the Pressed Steel Car
Company at the McKees Rocks plant.
The men had been working overtime
until 8 o'clock and left the works to
cross the river in the launch fifteen
minutes later. The boat is said to
have been intended for not more than
twenty persons, and it was understood
it was dangerous to attempt to carry
as many as twenty-five in it, But all
the men wanted to get across the river
on the first trip of the boat and thirty
of them crowded in There was no
explosion, no leak was sprung, but the
boat simply sank beneath the weight it
had been bearing and went to the bot
tom AS it sank, it caused a suction
which took many of the men down
with 4. Others attempted to swim
ashore, out were chilled ~ the cold
water and became exhausted before
reaching the shore.

The best treatment for baby during
its first year is to attend carefully 20
its physical wants and to absolutely
neglect the fact that it has a mind at
all There should be no romping or
playing or, in fact anything which
can interest or excite its mind. Next
in Importance come proper feeding and
correct training in sleeping. Bad nu-
triton is the great cause of the nerves
getting into that state which easily
leads up to nervousness, stammering,
st. Vitus dance, and even commissions.
If the nerve centers and the brain get
insufficient food and sleep they be-
come exhausted and over-strained. To
be well nourished the baby must not
only have suitable food, but must be
fed at regular intervals. The baby's
nap should be continued until he is 4 :;
at this time be should be having fully
twelve hours sleep. Between 6 and
10, ten and eleven hours are required !;
from 10 to is, nine hours.

Some children are timid about ven
turing into a bath tub. Often the
fright comes from being plunged bodi-
" into wafer that is either too cold
or too warm. Sometimes this plunge is
accidental. One woman solved the
problem by laying large Turkish
towel in the tub and providing a small
stool on which the child could sit part
of the time. This was found very con-
venient when the little girl was having
her hair washed. Instead of filing
the tub with water, put q little in. The
use of the bath towel to prevent slip
ping is also suggested for elderly per-
sons, especially if you do not have a
gum mat for this purpose.
