A dual meet was held on the

rivalry in this meet was manifested
when the State street playground

cheering and singing. When the

King street yesterday.
Proper spirit of athletics has been
taught the playgrounders of every
section and one of the ways of teach
ing the little ones this spirit Is by
means of cheers. Each section has
been given their respective yells by
the different instructors and instead
of the hooting and undesired yell
ing, the playground athletes give
their sectional yell and feel the pride
of their division, at stake If they
should boot. Here are the cheers of
the King street division:
We are the boys of old King street,
You hear so much about;
The people stop and stare at us
Whenever we go out.
| We're noted for our winsomeness-
The clever things we do.
Most everybody likes us;
We hope you'll like us, too.
AS we go marching, and the band
begins to play ia, IA, ra,
You can hear them shouting
The boys of King street are on their
way.
! We are dear King street, yes we are,
we are,
In everything we are the star, we
are the star,
Oh jinks! but say, no doubt you
wish that you
Belonged to our dear King street,
too.
For although you're not so clever,
And although you never, never,
Can us from King street sever;
Don't get blue. Don't get blue.
Razzle. dazzle, slzzle, sazzle,
Siss, boom. bah!

/. TO GET ORDER FOR
INSURANCE LICENSE
Justice Gould Declines to
Give Merged Corporation
Writ of Mandamus.

Holding that the assets of the Mod
ern Workmen Of the World, which
merged with the Royal Life Insurance
Company, could not be used to increase
the capital stock of the latter COM
pany, Justice Gould today refused to
grant a writ OF mandamus compelling
George w. Ingham, District Insurance
superintendent. to issue license to the
merged corporation.
However. the court gave the Royal
Lie insurance Company thirty days In
which to adjust the finances of the
company and amend the petition con-
sidered today. Ofncers Of the COM
pany declared that 1t would diminish

goo required to be at Ito command be-
fore a license can be issued.
A rule was issued two weeks ago cit
Ing Mr.. lngham to appear and show
cause why the license should not be
granted. In the answer made today
u was set forth that assets Of the
Modern Workmen of the World had
been used by the Royal Life Company

contrary to law, although this Is de-
MED by the officers of the Royal Life

'PULMOTOR USEFUL /
IN SAVING LIVES Of
ACCIDENT VICTIMS
Mechanical Device Pumps
Oxygen Into Lungs After
Life Seems Extinct.

Saving the lives Of people with the
device known as the "pulmotor" is no
new story at the Bureau Of Mines.
Officials there read with interest of the
saving Of four persons In Chicago who
had been given UP as asphyxiated by
gas, and reflected that In the past
eighteen months the rescue cars of the
bureau have saved the lives Of forty
miners by the use Of this artificial
respiration machine.
At the same time the suggestion was
put forth that in the District Of CO.
lumbia. where grim toll IL being taken
by carbon monoxide and illumina ting
gas. the installation of the "pulmotor"
would be great life-saving help. Also
the ''pulmotor' will unquestionably
bring back men and women SO near
dead from drowning or electrocution
that the ablest physician can avail
them nothing. Police officials and Red
Cross workers interested in FIRST aid"
work indorse the suggestion Of the
Bureau Of Mines.
The ''pulmotor'' 10 an oxygen pump
ing and sucking device which will move
the diaphragm unassisted, although the
assertion that 1t will bring the dead
back to life Is absurd, authorities
agree. But when a man or woman ls
90 near death that nothing else can aid,
the "pulmotor'' will pump oxygen into
the lungs, moving the diaphragm and
expanding the walls Of the chest just
a. in natural respiration. The pumping
in Is followed by outward suction so
that human breathing Is reproduced
with exactitude, and the number of
"breaths' taken per minute can be
regulated as desired.
"Pulmotor" is trade name and
there are other devices of the same
kind on the market but lacking in any
name which will describe them in a
word. The Bureau OF Mines has found
the "pulmotor" simply irreplacea Bile
covered and for rescuers frequently
overcome by the conditions under which
they must labor. Invention and use Of
the "pulmotor'' have rendered 1t prac-
tically impossible that the deaths of
rescue workers in mines will be nearly
as numerous as in the past.
Corporations like the Chicago Edison
Company have installed these oxygen
pumping devices to save the lives OF
workmen. In this case 1t was because
OF feared electric shocks which might
become electrocutions II the "pulmotor"
were not at hand,
The possibilities Of life-savine from
carbon monoxide poisoning, drowning,
and ordinary gas asphyxiation are OBJ
vious. and a strong demand will be
made that District authorities move to
install them In emergency hospitals.

Sensible Women Know
Foundation of Health

As health talks to women become
more general. both In the newspapers
and on the platform, the mass of women
are beginning to realize what the more
cultivated have always known, that
good health cannot be found in a pow
der box. The externals of health may
be obtained in that way, but the basis
OF health lies deeper, and yet Is just
as easily obtained.
The most important thing that a wo-
man can do for herself, and about
which she is often most neglectful. Is
to watch the condition Of her stomach
and bowels. The weary eyes. the bad
breath, the frequent headaches, the
pmples. the general air of lassitude Is
nine times out Of ten the result of con-
stipation or indigestion, or both. Many
simple remedies can be obtained. but
the best in the estimation OF most wo-
men is DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin.
1t Is mild. pleasant to the taste. and
exactly suited to her needs. 1t Is far
The Washington times., 1912-01-30

etc, which are entirely too violent.
Women should see to IT that they
nave at least one movement Of the
bowels each day. and when showing
any tendency to constipation should
take DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin in the
small dose prescribed. A brief use of

muscles that all forms Of medicine can
be dispensed with. These opinions are
