STATE BOARD OF CONTROL GIVES
WARMING.

AS winter draws near, there is a
tendency on the part of school boards
and teachers to take measures for
the protection of scholars in the pub
lie and parochial schools by mailing
down windows or putting storm sash
On school buildings. OF course, II
is important that the children should
be properly protected, but it Is tbs
Height of foolishness to follow the
usual custom of excluding all fresh
air from the school room.
Where artificial systems of venti-
,!ation are not installed, 1t is essen
tial that the windows in the room
shall be opened so that an abundance
Of fresh air may be admitted. When
the weather 10 extremely (cold, this
system Of ventilation will have to
he modified by periodically opening
windows, but in mild weather win
dows may be lowered from the top
and screened with cheese cloth so as
to admit an abundance of wholesome
air. nv
Most people do not understand that
coughs and colds and respiratory diff
ficulties so prevalent in the winter
season among school children are due
to the lack Of insufficient vent1lar
ton and to the experimenting OF
rooms in which the children are COM
PEELED to sit for hours at time. The
temperature Of school room should
not be above 68 degrees Fahrenheit
md it may be one or two degrees
lower. These precautions will prevent
many Of those disturbing maladies
incident to the winter season.
People in general keep their hous-
cs too warm. It is this super-heat-
ing OF houses and school rooms
which invite SO much throat and
lung trouble in the winter season.
Coughs, colds, pneumonia and tuber-
culosis are a few of the evils result
ing from the super-heated, unventilat-
ed living or sleeping room. Bedroom
windows should be kept open wide
throughout the entire winter and chill
Jren should be given the advantage
Of a common sense environment, both
in the School room and in the home.
The fear which possesses many peo-
ole unduly with reference to the op-
en- air is a tradition which has cost
the state of Iowa many lives. Give
the children of the public and paroch-
ial schools plenty Of fresh air.
Boards of education should see to
i; that as winter closes in school
houses are equipped with simple
devices by which to admit an
abundance of good, pure air into the
rooms where children are confined
long hours at exhausting toll.

woman's Sense Of Honor.

Much has been done by our own
higher education and widening field
Of work, and a woman now despises
what used to be by repute her most
formidable weapons-a lie. tears and
a skillfu appeal to the vanity Of man.
The writer has often noticed the
markedly greater breadth Of view and
the truer sense Of honor among the
present-day girl students compared
with that which obtained when she
herself was student, and which is
still largely that Of women Of her
own age today. An even more strik.
ing fact is that the majority Of men
do not seem to expect as keen a sense
Of honor from women as they do from
themselves. This mental atmosphere
has surely q deterrent effect upon the
growth Of that sense.-A Woman
Teacher, in London Spectator.

wins the next game will not want to
play another battle in the series for
the championship. The nine that
wins will claim the honors Of the
city's best and will not grant an
other game to the other local teams.
If the managers get tobether and de-
eide that the next game Is to settle
the supremacy between them, this
arrangement will be all right. But
if they DO not settle matters before
the game the losing team will make
n awful "rumpus" about playing
two more games, making a hve-game
series instead Of a three-game series.
This story will probably make things
clear to the managers and they will
have a oonfab which will give the
winner Of the series between the two
best senior teams in the city a clear
title.
Both teams are confident Of VIC
tory and the next game viii proba-
bly, be played before September. It'll
be a great battle and the llneups of
both mines will practically be the
same az In the last game when the
aggregations were 30 evenly match
ed that It took eleven innings to
settle the tussle.

|ROQUO|S IN
JUNIOR GAME
Will Play Oaks Sunday
Little Side Bet.

Another feature battle will be
staged Sunday and 1t may be a pre-
liminary to the Rooseyelt-Franklin
game. The Oaks and the 1roquois
will meet for a side bet Of $40 and
supremacy. If the Redskins win
this battle there will be no chance to
bring them back to Junior ranks any
more. They are giving the junior
teams in this city the last chance to
keep them in junior circles. The
Ashland squad, which is one of the
strongest mines in this class around
these parts, went down to defeat
Sunday by a 6 to 3 tally, and If the
"Boys from the Timber" fall before
Philip Payne's bunch the same way,
Payne will never give a juniod team
in these parts another game. He
will go after the senior mines.
Michael ]. Schiker, who halls from
Boston, will be on the slab for the
North Amboy lads while Ritter will
twirl for the Iroquois. The '%Injun"
pitcher has yet to meet defeat with
the Iroquois, having Vol every bat
tie he has started In for Payne's
bunch. Schiker has been beaten by
the Riyers1des of New Brunswick.
The county sea- bunch is a classy
crew and SO nothing can be judged
from this performance. Earl Null
Inns will be on the reserve list to
help Ritter IL he hangs up the sign
for help, while Petrick will aid
Schiker if need be.

THREE OR FIVE
GAMES SERIES
Much Doubt About City Championships Title Will Go to
Saints or Franklins- -Magnates to Confab.

What the fans want to know about
the city championship among the
baseball teams of this city Ia Twill
the next game between the St. An
thongs and Frankllns settle the
supremacy OF the teams?" In The
FIRST place, In order to give our read
ers a clear understanding of the
matter, the St. Anthpnys and the
Franklins are the only two teams to
decide the owner Of the title. 1t
was formerly planned between the
two teams to have a f1ve-game
series, the winner of the first three
to be considered the champions. But
since the management Of the st.
Anthonys has changed hands 1t is
probable that these arrangements
are considered void and unless the
two magnates get together soon to
finally settle matters there'n be lots
Of wrangling.
1t appears that the genaral opin-
ion among the players Is that the
two teams will hook up in one more
game which Will decide supremacy,
since both mines have one victory In
she series already played. 1t Is very
probable that the aggregation that

Since the death knell of the Junior
League has been sounded, there's
one thing which would be appropri-
ate for the burial services and that
is a game between the st. Anthony
Juniors and the Princetons. These
two mines are conceded to be the
best junior aggregatlons in their
class and a game between them
would be pleasing to all concerned.
Those who were Junior League sup
porters are clamoring for this match
and there is no reason why it should
not be played.
The Princetons are a good bunch
of balltOssers, but the st. Anthonys
have played so few games that it is
hard to judge their real calibre.
However, there's n thing certain
about them, and that is that they are

Fish Tales.

A tale Of woe has Just reached this
city to the effect that Ross Hender-
son, the pride of the Voorhees, gar
age, in Grabbing circles, Is consider
ing rel1nquish1ng his claim on his
title. Until Sunday Ross has been
bringing home messes calculated to
send the crab family into the depths
of despair. On that fatal day, &C
companied by TONY" Munoz. he was
unable to hook more t han TWO.
Tony, they say, got 1875. Phew!
Fred Moiner was seen to land a
number of crabs from the waters OF
C~heesequake creek last Sunday. He
went down to fish, but there was a
stiff wind blowing outside, so he
grabbed until 1t Gained down and
then went out after 1uke and weak
fish.
Captain Eddie Wells, of Ye Olde
Spy Inn, Morgans, caught two blue
fish weighing about " pounds each
Sunday. Captain Bill Hartmann, of
the same place, went out Monday
and caught eight large weakish.
Bill fshed as far as East Point, but
located the fish above the Monu-
ment. There were a number of fair
catches Sunday at Morgans and
there is no doubt that there will be
late fishing there as the fish are tax
ing the hook now and fishing Is get
ting better, and by reports the fish
are working up the bay every day.
For a healthy exercise surf fish
ing has something on everything
else. In the first place, there is
nothing that can equal the health
giving salt sea water, and a good
surf fisherman stands up to his waist
in 1t while fishing. Then every
muscle of the body Is moving and
the brain Is constantly employed on
the thoughts of landing a fish larger
than that caught by someone else.
AS & cure for corns and bunions it
can't be beat, and now that the fish
are biting well we recommend a trial
to all our friends.

but when he played with the "Riv-

only reason he was not allowed to

because he was too light for the
