Mrs. Wilcox had always felt that
Mrs. Maltby had never used enough
firmness to have perfect discipline

this opportunity to show them real

Pumpkins for Eattenina.

Pumpkins will soon be close rivals
of silage crops as ration for fatten-
ing purposes. They contain large
amount of protein and albumen and a
fair amount of ash and potash. Their
composition is so well balanced in
comparison with other feeds for
young animals, that strength is i'm
parted by the ash and potash to the
bones Of the stock, and the protein
builds the flesh. Eighty per cent. Of
the mature pumpkin can be utilized
for feeding purposes.

Their Baths

When Mrs. Maltby had been at
home and in charge of affairs Hilda
had not doomed up so portentous
Hilda had the best heart in the world
but she had likewise a most compre-
hensive deficiency OF English words
and her conversation was restricted to
a constant smile and the fluent use of
Yes" and No" This, in view of her
superlative cooking and her passion
for scrubbing. was easily overlooked
Maltby had been quite content.
When sudden illness removed Mrs.
Maltby to the hospital he faced brand
new troubles, which he solved by
throwing up his hands and letting
Hilda run things without any orders
from him. He managed to keep an
eye on John. aged eight; Edna. aged
six, and the baby. somewhere about
two and one-half. He knew the chill
dren were quite safe with Hilda, who
was fond of them.
The Maltbys' close neighbors were
much concerned over the desolated
household and both Mrs. Corcoran and
Mrs. Wilcox ran in frequently to see
that afairs were progressing as they
should under Hilda's management
The first Saturday of Mrs. Maltby's
absence Mrs. Wilcox paused in her
busting with an inspiration.
my goodness" she said. IT be.
lieve I'd better attend to it! Hilda
Will be busy with her baking and she
has plenty to do, anyhow-it really
will be kindly act!"
Thereupon Mrs. Wilcox put up the
custer, tied on a large apron and went
over to the Maltbys' house.

Maltby got home late and tired that
night and at the dinner table reused
from his abstraction long enough to
realize that his youngsters were un-
usually still. They were eating Ian
guidly and were rather pale Horror
clutched his heart-were they coming
down with any disease? Out of his
minds chaos he remembered some
thing.
Before you go to bed" he told
them, "dad'll give you all nice. hot
bath and you'll feel better. What the
dickens"
He started in alarm at the bedlam,
John precipitated himself at his father
from one side and Edna from the
other, while the baby wadded his
cracker desperately into his eye They
all shrieked tremendously. Then John,
with angry tears rolling down his
face, got the floor.
1--WE don't want no BATH" he sobbed
helplessly. First Hilda she gives us
one when we get up and then Mrs.
Wilcox stopped us building our fort
and washed us and then this after.
noon Mrs. Corcoran she came over
and put us in the tub again an she
rubbed the skin off'n my shoulder. An
now you"
Maltby gathered his much washed
and weeping family into his arms az
he comprehended. The first laugh he
had had that week crinkled his eyes

BOXING GAME
IN NEW YORK
UNDER PROBE

NEW YORK, March 1S.-There
were indications during the week
that the authorities are planning
closer scrutiny of boxing bouts in
New York City in the so-called
athletic clubs.
Summonses were issued for Tom
O'Rourke, manager of the National
Sporting Club of America; Pal
Moore and Sammy Smith, princi-
pals in bout and John Doe
referee, and John Doe timekeep-
er. They are returnable today.
Complaint were lodged also
against four police captains and
three inspectors for alleged negli.
gence in not taking necessary EVIL
dence regarding fights.

KS Sporting Events From Many Points
HIGH PRICE Is
PAID FOR SPORTS
BY BIG COLLEGES

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 1S.-
comparison of the cost of ath-
letics at Yale and Harvard shows
that Yale spends about a third
more money every year than Har-
ward on each of its big athletic
teams. 1t cost the Cambridge uni
versity $127,945 to run athletics
last year, or about 1925 a day for
the ten months through which the
college season lasts.
The football expenditures were
approximately $4,000, an average
of about $1,000 a man to the squad
of thirty-one players. Track ath-
letics cost $4,000; baseball, $1,000,
and rowing, $4,000.
At Yale the appropriation for
football was $4,000. 1t meant
that for every man who got into
championship" game, as the con-
tests with Harvard and Princeton
are called $500 was expended.
On baseball Yale put out a total
of $4,000, while track athletics
cover $4,000 Rowing is practic-
ally flat financial loss, since no
admission can be charged, and more
than $4,000 is appropriated each
year for it at New Haven

MATHEWSON HAS
A NEW BALL, THE
'SLOW SPLITTER

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Fans
here have received news of a new
ball developed since last season by
Christy Mathewson of the New York
Nationals.
1t is declared wonder by friends
of the Giants star pitcher, who is
said to be getting it into perfect
shape at the Marlin training camp.
The ball is described as a very
slow double dip. The sphere is
said to float up to the batsman
with all the seams showing. Just
in front of the plate it does a
double dip so deceiving that even
the catchers miss it until after con-
siderable practice.
Mathewson throws this ball after
wetting his fingers and the Giants
have christened it the SLOW
splitter
