Perhaps" she fiuttered, and left
him, and Ross went away as one
walking on air.
Then a more sOmber vein came to
his spirit as he covered the first stage
of his hurried Journey, and struck OF
on the lonely trail leading into the
heart Of the great pine forests Of the
Pacific slope.
There was one long, barren reach,
where naught but chaTTed tree
stumps and ashes were to be viewed
from the clumsy paddle barge that
was conveying him and a logging
crew down a broad, turbid stream.
Striking stories Of the vast fires that
had devastated the district were cur
rent. Whole logging camps had been
engulfed, refugees had been scattered
all over the section. When Ross spoke
Of Camp Cedar, the captain Of the
craft shook his head solemnly.
"a few of the old hands hung
around there when we passed there
last" he said, 'but most Of them had
cut out. The whole layout went up
in the flames mill, cabins and ALL
There was no sign of human oGcu-
patton about the spot when Ross left
the boat alone at Cedar Camp. It was
fully an hour before he ascertained
that the place was not utterly de-
serted. A thin veil of smoke guided
him to a makeshift shelter Of tree
branches in little valley, mile away
from the river. Before it, seated on a
boulder, sat young girl, mending
some garment worn and homespun
as her own coarse but Clean1y attire. |
Her sunburned face was sad and
patient, there we're tears in her eyes
when she looked up. It thrilled Ross, |
however, the sudden wild beauty of |
that face as she observed him and |
sprang to her feet, a-quiver with de- |
light.

"And you-you have nursed my

the lips Of Ross, and he did not even
except Ruth Purcell. Then he passed
under the shelter, with sorrow and
tears regarding the wan, wasted face
of the friend he had come so far
to aid.
It was several days before Wylie
was able to sit up. The boat was due
the following Monday. In search
for clothing, Ross investigated the
satchel Wylie had brought away from
home. Ross selected a light coat way
down at the bottom of the satchel.
AS he shook it out letter fell from
it's pocket. It was stamped, and ad-
dressed miss Ruth Purcell, " but had
never been mailed.
In a flash the truth came to Ross.
He hurried to Wylie and showed it to
him. The latter flushed, paled and
then sank overcome.

slowly. why, Ruth's actions are as

HEALTH
-AND-
HYGIENE
HOW TO WEAN BABIES

Feeding and weaving infants was
discussed at the mothers clinic re-
Gently at the children's homeopathic
hospital. In the place Of the usual
weekly lecture by Dr. William B.
Griggs individual instruction and ad
vice was given to the mothers by Mrs
Margaret B. Simon, head of the social
service department of the hospital
Many questions were asked by tho
mothers regarding the proper feeding
of the baby and the right way to wean
an infant. The advice embraced the
following points:
Proper feeding at regular times is
important. During the first month o!
an infants life nurse every two hours
and twice in the night; in the second
month every two and half hours and
twice at night efter the second
month every three hours and once at
night; after the sixth month every
four hours.
Teach the baby to sleep through
the night. Constant feeding to quiet
a baby is a mistake; babies cry from
other reasons besides hunger, forced
feeding merely aggravates the
trouble if there is any present. In
fants are usually hungry after sound
sleep. Overlooking is far more com
mon than underfeeding.
The choice and method of under
feeding are closely related to the ago
of the infant. Regularity of feeding
is even more important for infants
than for adults. Hungry babies suck
their fingers and sleep poorly.
Accustom the baby to drink water
from bottle. Two ounces of water,
which has been boiled and then cool
ed three or four times day should
be- given.
The best substitute for the natural
milk for the baby is good cows milk,
properly modified by diluting it with
water and increasing the amount Of
sugar, uSluS sugar VI lullh, w ILLS
under the direction of doctor, as
every baby needs a particular balance
of the various sugars and fats in
milk.
Gradually wean an infant after
eight months, not suddenly or in
changeable weather, and only after
consulting doctor.
Buy a number of new nipples at
one time for the bottle, boil them for
10 minutes to free them from con-
taminatfon, and dip the nipple into
hot water each time before using it.
Guard against dirty nipples and bot
ties. After the baby has completed
feeding. thoroughly rinse the bottle
in cold water, scrub it with bottle
brush, fill it with cold water and let
it stand. Before filling the bottle
with milk again boil it moment in
wAter.

FOOT FAULT RULE
Tennis Association Will
Take up Matter at the
Meeting Friday

New York, February S.-The annual
meeting of the United States Lawn Ten
mis- association. to be held in New York
Friday, will consider new rules defining
the amateur and the foot fault in SER
vice. Some attempt will be made to
adopted by the international Lawn Ten
mis- federation. In this connection play
ers will be surprised TO learn that An
thony Wilding. worlds singles champion,
but one serve. He recently wrote to an
English tennis authority his views on the
subject, which show that Wilding believes
there is a universal demand for speeding
up the game. He considers that one SER
vice not only would shorten sets, but
would improve the general standard of
service. He contends that the service
of the average player, now often loose.
must essentially improve, since greater
care would be expended on its delivery.
Wilding believes the difficulty of ad-
ministering the present foot fault rule
would disappear when the penalty in
volved the loss of the ace players would
be careful to conform not only with the
spirit of the law, but with it's letter as
well. AS to the result of such a change
on the enterprise of such service spe-
cialists as Mclaughlin and Brookes,
Wilding does not believe they or their
kind would be materially handicapped.

Eastern Cities-Other Sports Will Share Spotlight

New York, February S.-The zenith OF
the indoor athletic season will be reached
this week. and before the final days OF
the month the devotee of sport will be
planning to transfer his activity or in
terest to the open. The transformation
will depend on spring weather conditions,
but there is evidence abundant that the
migratory period is at hand.
During the next six days this and other
cities will witness the gathering of COM
pet!tors for several indoor sport cham
pionships and of those officials and as
sociations whose rulings are the final
work in outdoor sport. Undoubtedly the
greatest interest will center in the do
ings of baseball magnates who will con-
fer here during the next three days. Rep
resentatives of the National, American
and several minor leagues will meet In
addition to the announcement of the
American league playing schedule some
definite idea of the situation and plans
of both organized baseball and the Fed

Baseball magnate and player will not be
allowed to stand in the center of the spot
light however, to the exclusion of all
other sports, for both the United States

These are further augmented by the fact
that each association will control inter-

New York, February s.-Evidence is de-
veloping to indicate that college athletics
are passing through another period of re-
adjustment. That the activity of the
undergraduate in this direction is one of
the biggest problems that faculties and
governing bodies have to face in eonnec-
ton with college life, is admitted. Inter-
collegiate sport is the subject of never
ending discussion and conference Rules
are made to check one evil only to have
objectional features and angles crop out
elsewhere.
That something is radically wrong is
clearly indicated by the many discus
sions, proposals and flats that arise with
startling rapidity. Faculties associations
and undergraduates appear more or less
a loggerheads. 1t may be that the re-
cent speech of Charles E. Courtney, row.
ing coach at Cornell. will help to clarity
the situation.
Speaking on the situation at Cornell,
Courtney opened a radical and startling
speech with the words: There is some
thing wrong either with our athletics or

years ago when the commercial crop
was 16,13S.000 bales. Bears contend
that such figures can only mean that
the crop has been greatly underesti-
mated, but the bulls consider that this
is the quickest moved crop on record
ana that receipts are bound to fall off
sharply before long. 1t is pointed out
that of this crop of 14,500,000 bales
which is the present consensus of opin-
ion. there remain only 2.700,0 600 bales to
come into sight during the remaining
five and three quarters months of this
season. The cotton coming into sight
this last week was 327,617 bales at this
rate it would take only about eight
weeks more to bring the entire COM
mencial crop into sight. The cotton
coming into sight promises to be the
main feature of the statistical state
Eaent this week and may result in i'm
pcrtant price changes.
Less attention will be given new
crop preparations this week than last

BESSEMER BASKETBALL FIVE
WILL HAVE A BUSY WEEK

The coming week will be busy one
for the basketball quintet of the Bes-
semer Athletic club, for during this time
two of the most important games of the
season will be staged. The first will be
with the University of Alabama on Tues
day night, while the second is scheduled
with the basketers of the Birmingham
Athletic club Friday.
The game Tuesday should be hard
fought affair. as the two teams are very
nearly matched, and the rivalry between
the collegians and tho Bessemer boys is
intense.
Last year the Bessemer team won two
decisions over the Crimson five. one at
Bessemer and the other at Tusca loosa.
In the game at Bessemer the Alabama
team tied things up near the close of the
game, only to lose out in the playoff.
