MAPS OR MUD HENS
MAY TRAIN IN AMERICUS

rangements, Americus was unable to
land the big leaguers,
Whether Somers will send his Maps
or the Toledo Mud Hens to Americas
in case he decides to train here, has
been the chief topic of conversation
all day among the bugs Either team
would furnish the fans with corling
good baseball.
The Maps are too well known to need
any lengthy dissertation as to their
strength as a drawing card to city
where they train. The fact that Nap
Laioi is still with them is enough to
assure their welcome in Americas.
The brand of ball dished out by the
Toledo club is only a wee bit slow +
than the ball uncorked by the Nap
bunch. Toledo is considered one Of
the strong clubs of the American asso-
citation And the American association
is rated as Glass AA by the national
commission. That puts it in a class
above the Southern league and in a
class little slower than the two big
leagues themselves.
Americas will prove a dandy place
to train. It's ideal climate, its good
hotel its pure artesian water, and its
good ball ground all combined make
Americas an ideal training camp. All
arrangements will probably be COM
pleted within the next twenty-four
hours and the fans will know whether
or not Americas is going to get to see
a big league ball game pulled off.

There is, after all, something new
under the sun evidently, and John
Holder, former speaker of the house,
discovered it and printed it in his pa
per. 1t is too good to let pass, be-
cause it shows how cleverly one young
man presented his own plea against
and alimony.
Mr.. Holder says that recently
Judge Brand had an alimony case to
consider. The simple facts were that
young couple had married, lived to-
gether a short time, then separated,
whereupon the wife sought alimony.
Here is the husbands answer:
Defendant shows that for the
past six years he has been in love
with the plaintiff; while she and de-
fendant were in school together she
charmed and fascinated him with her
beauty and winning ways and lady
like manners, sweetness of disposi-
ton and all the virtues that go 10
make woman lovely and irresistible;
she captured and fetterad with bands
more valuable than gold and stronger
than steel
Her golden ringlets bright
Her lips like roses wet wi dew,
Her heaying bosom lily white;
She talk'd, she smil'd, my heart she
wyld,
She charm'd my sould l wist ma
how
school days soon were past, and
defendant courted and won the only
girl he has ever loved, the only girl
he now loves, the only girl he ever
hopes to love- On the - day of -
with heart full of hope and love
defendant led to the Hymenal altar
where each vowed they would love
and live together so long as lifc
should last. From that day, ans
even before, to the present the plaintiff
has had defendants undivided love
Every day Of this short married life
this defendant was delighted only il
the presence of plaintiff.

Charlie Somers, owner of both the
Cleveland Maps and the Toledo Mud
Hens, opened negotiations this morn
ing with President Lanier, of the local
ball club that may result in one of
his two teams coming to Americas to
train. The following telegram was re-
ceived at local baseball headquarters
last night and Immediately answered
by President Lanier:

In addition to President Lanier's
message, the Americas chamber of
commerce, The Times-Recorder and
President Ike Kalmon of the Georgia
State league all wired Somers, urging
him to select Americas as his training
camp.

Cleaning Up Southern Cities

Anna Steese Richardson, director of
the Better Babies Bureau of the
Woman's Home Companion, describes
in that publication the work for bet
ter babies in two southern cities, and
she shows how thinking on behalf of
the welfare of babies has resulted in
much civic improvement. In the fol-
lowing extract taken from her article
Mrs. Richardson describes recent
development in Shreveport, Louis
lana:
Years ago, Shreveport used to
share with scores of other Southern
cities the fear of yellow fever and the
curse of malaria. They laugh at that
little phrase yellow fever today, and
they have malaria on the run. Why?
Because the health board has been
stressing fly and mosquito campaigns.
One wonderfully clear morning, when
Shreveport was barely opening its
eyes, DR.. G. c. Chandler. president of
the city's health department, took the
representative of the Woman's Home
Companion on an inspection tour of
Shreveport's back yards. There were
colored quarters, but no slums. There
were shabby houses, but no mudholes
around them. Behind a row of very
simple looking new cottages flower
and vegetable gardens were blooming.
Doctor Chandler pointed to the gay
spots of color with pride
"A few years ago nobody could
live here. 1t was a mudhoie, clay
swamp. The only crop was the dead
iy mosquito. Now those people raise
fruit and flowers.'
Shreveport has an enviable record
In infant mortality-not single case
of infantile paralysis in eleven
months! Not single death from
typhoid, white adult or child, In
twenty-one monthsi''

Don't Let Your Baby
Upset Your Household

In the November Woman's Home
Companion DR.. Roger Fl. bennett, a
well-known New York expert on the
care of children, writes the first of a
new series of talks to mothers. This
first article Is entitled "Baby's Sched-
ule," and presents the details of an
orderly babys daily life. on the gen
eral subject of the Importance of MAX
ing baby live up to schedule Doc
tor bennett says:
"Can you imagine a railroad run
without O. timetable? Well, proper
system with a definite schedule Is al
most as necessary In the household
where baby is to be brought up as It
is In railroading or any other busi-
ness, If the best results are to be OBJ
tanned 1t is far less work to have a
time for everything. and 1t Is not diff
cult to have everything come on time.
I'm many instances / have found
that all that it was necessary to do to
change a bad baby to good baby
was to straighten out his schedule. A
baby who eats whenever he wants
throughout the night not only robs his
mother of sleep, but is fretful during
the day. 1t is astonishing to see how
one small infant may upset house

Prepared Especially Fo, This Ntvspabey
BY Pictorial Revfew

Outer garments for evening wear
are noted for their unusual colorings.
1t is considered the smart thing, how
ever, for the cape or coat to CORES
pond with the tone of the frock over
which 1t is worn. For instance, the
pink and cream model shown here is
accompanied by a cape of American
beauty panne velvet lined with pink
satin. The cape is of the Spanish
cavalier type, made with a Directoire
collar and straps that cross at the
front. If desired, the straps may be
carried to the back of the cape where
they are drawn through an opening
at each side and fastened on the out
side in sash effect. To make the cape
requires "a yards of 56-inch material
and yards of 36-inch satin for the
lining.
The material is laid open and the
pattern arranged upon it. If the cape
Is desired in shorter lengths 1t may
be cut off as indicated. Provision as
also made for emitting the sleeves
and long sash.
The first step in making is to sew
the front and sash section to cape as
notched. Now slash back of cape on
line of small 90 perforations. The
edges of these incisions may be bound
with satin or finished in any other
way for the sash to pass through.
Sew the rever to the front as indi-
Gated, then add collar to the neck
edge.
If desired with sleeve extension,
bring corresponding single large "O''
and triple small 80" perfcrations to-
pratbar and stitch
Frequently the revers are overlaid
with lace or stitched with an elegant
braid In decorative design.
More gold lace than is on the most
gorgeous uniform in a general officers
military wardrobe is employed in the
development of some of the new din
ner gowns. For the bright metallic
mesh perfectly accords with the rich
velvets and brocades which the lead
ing couturiers are using regardless OF
cost.
