A BABY IS IN TRAINING
The Athletic Tendencies of a Seven.
Month-Old Child.

Miss Vivian Hamon of Kenneth,
Mo, was always known among her
girl associates as an orinigal She
had her own ideas, unobtrusive, but
firm. Particularly Independent from
feminine point of view, she de-
signed her own dresses, usually in de-
fiance of current fashions, but al
ways charmingly. So-with the Gu
rious maturity of southern girls
when she was married, a slender slip
of girlhood Is years old. she deter
mined that if she had a child it should
be an original baby
A child was born last December.
when the mother was 10 years old
Before its birth she studied-as a
student ''grinds" for a college exam
ination-all the books and articles
concerning the rearing of babies upon
which she applied with scientific rigor
the principles of child training which
she had learned-like a polytechnic
graduate upon his first enterprise of
surveying
This child, when two months old,
'chinned" herself while holding to
her mothers fingers a month later
pounds by hanging with the grip of
her minute fingers from a horizontal
bar like a trapeZe rod. So hard and
fit is she that. although her pen
chant is rolling off her bed, she never
cries over the knocks she receives, as
if they scarcely hurt her
The name of this child is Alberta
lee Hamon Hays. Her father is
Charles Elmer Hays, formerly a star
right guard on the football team of
the Kentucky Military institute, near
Louisville. Her grandmother on the
maternal side is Mrs. c. II. Rainy,
today a crack horseback rider, swim
mer and all around athlete. Age 80
in years, but much less in tempera-
ment, Mrs. RAINY is called the young
est grandmother in Dunklin county"
During the six years which she
spent as a student i'm a convent semi
nary at Nevada. Mo, Mrs. Hays read
of infant prodigies of mentality like
John Stuart Mill, who was a pro-
ficient Greek scholar at years old.
Without aspiring to rear an intel
lectual genius, the thoughtful Mis-
souri, girl determined to apply
similar process TO the physical we'll
being of her children-not for the
production of circus strong men and
acrobats, but of wholesome. healthy
and attractive men and women.
Fresh air and loose clothing were
the young mothers hobbies in rearing
her baby From the beginning, al
though it was winter, she kept the
child in a room without a fire. and
at night lowered the windows two
inches from the top. She dressed the
baby in a sort of flannel bag with
drawstring below the feet. permit
ting the little legs free play for ex-
ercise Hence AIbertalee was known
for a time as the "hobble skirt baby"
Along with her physical attain
ments, Albertalee acquired a remark
able talent for silence. independence
and self-command. 1t is almost I'M
known for her to cry. Like all ba-
bies, she frequently bumps her head
with more or less violence, but be-
yond a pickering of her lips she
shows no sign of pain.-St. Louis

treacherous current, and was beyond his
depth. He grasped Grover about the
throat. Grover, after desperate strug-
gle, released himself, and endeavored TO
save his companion. His efforts, how
ever, were futile, and Miller went down
for the last time.
Grover quickly dressed and hurried to
Miller's home, five squares from the

MONEY is NEEDED
| FOR THE FOURTH
Subscriptions Should BeSent
in Promptly This Week.

Mr.. z. c. Graham, chairman OF the
finance committee of the safe and sane
Fourth celebration, yesterday issued an
urgent appeal to the citizens for funds
to make the celebration a success
Up to the present time the subscrip-
tions only aggregate S.0Ss.5O. whereas
at least 5000 is necessary to provide a
fine display Of fireworks and other at
fractions.
Mr.. Graham said that he believed the
delay in sending in subscriptions was
due tc the belief that there was no i'm
mediate need OF the money. The fact Is,
however. that the contracts should be
made this week, and the committee
ought to know how large an amount is
available
"a small donation from each citizen, -
said Mr.. Graham, ''who really has the
welfare OF the city and It's lives and
property at heart will insure an enter
tainment which will be a credit to Wash
ington. Our public-spirited citizens should
appreciate that the committee should
not be compelled to sacrifice additional
time by making a personal canvass for
this worthy undertaking. The fact that
last year there was not single case
treated at the hospitals or a single call
made upon the fire department incident
to the celebration OF this memorable day
should be sufficient TO convince any one
of the reasonableness of this movement" :"
A letter asking subscriptions has been
sent to the members Of the Board of
Trade and the Chamber of Commerce,
and the committee hopes that others will
assist to make the celebration Of 1911
such a success as will be a credit to the
National Capital.
