ANGRY WATERS sTlLLED.
When They Reach tho Wonderful "0iI
Spot" of Sabine Pass.

A freak of nature never fully de.
scribed is the wonderful ''oil spot" sit.
uated about ten miles south of Sabine
pass. into which flows the Sabine river
to the gulf Of Mexico. The river forms
the boundary between the states of
Louisiana and Texas. The 'oil spot
extends two miles along shore and sea-
ward about three-quarters of a mile. A
storm from the northeast. by way of
east to southeast. has a rate of from
300 to 700 miles r the gulf of
Mexico into this mystic haven.
During a gale this spot is wonder
fully defined. Looking seward the
scene is grand. An acre Of towering
foam marks the abrupt dissolution of
the fishing seas as they thunder to-
ward the shore. This occurs in about
three fathoms. or eighteen feet of
water. from which the storm driven
craft, creaking and straining in every
timber. emerges and suddenly finds
herself repOsing like q child rocked in
its mothers arms. hemmed in by q wall
Of wrath. where the weary mariner

winds. The place Is termed the ''oil
spot" not from any known analysis Of
its nature. but simply from it's condi-
tions-it has no troubled water.-Phila-

FOR
Mothers
"i'm Frightened"

IT. .#-.Nr
Many children are q little timid By
nature. but II the timidity II at all
strong o. frequent 1t amounts to N
illness and must be treated as such.
A healthy child Is seldom seriously
frightened. 1t may be startled for q
moment. but that is quite q different
thing from the chronic terror which
spoils some poor little lives. II your
child il always nerv0us-ready to shiv-
Or and cry ut q strange sound or to
shrink from an unknown person or to
tremble at a dark room or run from a
strange dog. these signs Indicate that
be IL moi well.
1t is a curious fact that boys under
the age of ten are often more nervous
than their sisters. though girls be-
tween the ages Of ten and twenty are
far more nervous than boys. And 1t
10 not an uncommon thing for a young
boy to run for protection to a sister
practically the same age as himself.
A really nervous child should never
be forced to do long or hard lessons.
Its study hours should be shortened az
much ;S possible. and it should spend
the greater part Of the day out Of
doors. Neither lessons nor play should
be too energetic-he should just be al.
lowed to go his own way and amuse
himself as he thinks best.
Sleep is of the tirst Importance. A
nervous child cannot sleep too much.
He should always be in bed before 8
O'clock ut night and should be allowed
to lie till be rouses himself In the
morning. 1t is Il very bad thing for
him to be awakened violently, for this
gives the nerves a shock from which
they suffer during all the morning
hours.
A cold bath In the morning Is an ex-
cel!ent thing. provided that the child
Is strong enough to stand It. But II
he dislikes it very much he should not
be forced into it. as this would lead to
another shock which would do away
with all the good gained from the bath.
An ordinary wash followed by a brisk
rub down with a rough towel makes
quite a good substitute for a cold bath.
The food should be generous and
simple. Very nervous children need a
large number Of light meals during the
day. as they are not able to digest a
great quantity of food at n time. 1t
Is q good plan to give a glass of milk
and a buttered biscuit in the middle Of
stftemorning and another glass Of milk.

child sleeps badly and is restless you

them If he wakes during the night. A
comforting little meal Of this kind will
often send him of to sleep again. when.
without it be- would lie awake for
hours shiveril,g in the dreadful dark

Above all. treat the nervous child
most tenderly Never let the others
laugh at him or call him a coward. but
make them understand that his timidi-
ty arises from illness and that he must
be pitied and treated as gently as any
other invalid.

AIMS FOR CLEAN SWEEP
Columbia Track Team Counts
on Colgate's Scalp Next.

Columbia's varsity track team is look
ing forward TO a clean sweep OF the sea-
sons dual meets when it faces Colgate on
South Field on Saturday. The Blue and
White athletes defeated Annapolis week
ago and kept up their good work by de-
featng Syracuse in the Stadium last
week.
The triumph over the Middies was the
first that Columbia has won in a
dual meet with Annapolis IN six years.
The victory over Syracuse was the first
that the Columbians have ever scored
over the Salt City athletes Columbia's
success is due largely to the record per-
