In the athletic events at Washburn
park, Saturday afternoon, the Wash
burn athletes broke even. taking the
ball game from the Salina Wesleyan
collegians and dropping the track meet

hits. while the Washburn team pound
ed the ball almost at Will. Two of these
hits came in the ninth inning and
coupled with rank error enabled the
Wesleyans to score three runs. The
final tabulation was to 8.
The track meet developed the fact
that Washburn is stronger in the
weight events than in running. The
Baker team took all OF the runs, Ream,

Sailing newly born infants, a

the knees so that no point shall re.

The unhappy infant is left in the
salt for three hours or longer and is
then bathed in warm water.
The Armenians of some districts,
having abandoned the practice, are
called unsalted" and are despised by
the others,
The modern Greeks also sprinkle
their babes with salt. If an enlight-
ened mother protests the midwife is
ready with the objection, But If ii
fspt sailed it will, be puny and win
