NEW USE FOR SAND GLASS
German Surgeons, Before Operation,
Must Wash Their Hands Until the
craIns Have All Fallen.

The whistling egg boiler and other
patent inventions have threatened the
existence of the old-fashioned sand
glass az part of the kitchen parapher-
MALTA. and 1t seemed likely that the
children of a later generation would
be quite ignorant of the use Of what,
with the scythe. so often stands as the
symbol Of time.
A German surgeon, like many Ger
mans q strong disciplinarian, has.
however, found a new use for the sand
glass, and under his directions one OF
the larger Berlin hospitals has just
placed an order for a score OF sand
glasses, which, however, are not timed
for the boiling of an egg, but for
rather longer-for five minutes.
It was discovered that some Of the
younger surgeons were rather easy
going In the matter Of cleansing their
hands before operations. The regula-
tions prescribe four processes Of five
minutes each, but rarely were the
times kept with any approach to 40
curacy.
The excuse was that 1t was difficult
to estimate the time without clock
Others pleaded the dificulty OF keep
ing count of when they began and
then reckoning minute by minute
with only a small watch to go by. The
sand glasses. however, are to put an
end to this. Each washstand basin is
to have its sand glass.
For five minutes the surgeon washes
his hands with soap and warm water
and then cleans his finger nails. An
other turn of the sand glass, and five
minutes more of hand washing with
soap and warm water is to follow.
The third turn keeps time for third
wash, this time in alcohol, and the
fourth is for the process Of sterilization
with a wash of corrosive sublimate.
Over all these operations the sand
glass stands as arbiter to decide when
each has been thoroughly carried out.

1t Is Last Game Of Home Stay,
Too, Before Long Road Trip
and Big Crowd Will Be Out.
By Percy H. Whiting.
ET'S all forget about Tuesday and

T ET'S all forget about Tuesday and
remember only that this Is
Grocers' and Butchers Day. not
to mention Wholesalers and Retail
ers' Day and a few such. Just to
show their sporting blood. the gro
GERS and butchers have bought d
block of 1000 seats in advance for
day.
In honor Of all this and because
it is the Crackers last day at home
before a tremendous road trip, band
will be out and there will be large
celebrations.
Also the game will be the rubber
between the Crackers and the Bill
kens. 1t will be called at o'clock, as
the Crackers must leave early to catch
the New Orleans train.
NNELL, if you can't forget yester-
w days game here's how 1t hap
pened:
In the first place, E Brown, who
was pie on Monday, was rank "pizen"
on Tuesday. For eight innings h,
loosened right up and let the Crack
ers have a hit Not a hit an inning
overwhelmingly one in eight
Naturally, they didn't make any
progress against that sort of hurl-
ing.
In the second place. Good Old Gil
Price, the willingest worker of them
all, and a grand hurler at times tried
to come back. And he didn't find
the coming good He was in no bet
ter trim than Monday and was hit
hard. The Crackers played only a
moderate fielding game.
In consequence, tn Q Billikens
romped.
The score was to 1.
oh, yes, Mobile won, too. So we're
~ right back where we were be-
fore the jollification meeting which
followed Mondays games.
But don't worry over 1t.
The Crackers are going to have
trouble for the next few weeks. Be
sure OF that. They are going out on
a tough journey. The season is edging
along to its most trying time for ball
players. A journey these days,
through the heat; the daily stacking
up against hotel fare; the letting
down that results from weather and
other conditiOns-they all make IL
hard for ball players
1t is up to the Crackers to swing
onto every game and to win what
they can. If they can get through this
series with a presentable showing
they have a swell chance for the
pennant
THIS reluctance Of baseball mag
L mates to deliver to the Crackers
the pitchers that they sell them;
and this coyness of the hurlers in
reporting, is making It tough sailing
for Bill Smith To lose Pop Boy
Smith and Leifeld both within few
days is a blow TO any club.
The Crackers must have a pitcher
or two II they are to show. They
know it and are working to that end.
But getting pitchers seems a tough
game these days
THE Mobile team will bear watching
right along. Yesterday Nike
Firms crippled club made a slatber
of swats off Sommers. Every time
we think the Gulls are slipping, they
turn around and beat some star
pitcher There is more come back
to them than there is to rubber
ball They Will take a lot Of head
ing this season. Any team that can
live through a slump complicated with
injuries the way the Gulls have is
hard to get out Of first place.
