fronted with the proposition of find
ing some one to properly care for the
alleys he already had.
His sister came to the front. She
argued that a woman should be able
to manage alleys as well as a man.
She deserted music for bowling and
has done so well her brother would
not think of making a change
Miss Bark also has become a
bowler and is enthusiastic about the
game.
The woman manager has organ
lied league for teams composed of
women bowlers and is mapping out
a fine winter of sport for wives and
others of her neighborhood.
Geo. n. Sutton of Milwaukee has
no hands, but there are only eight
billiardists, professionals included, in
the country who can hold him even,
and by his marvellous work with the
cue he is able to earn a good living
for himself, wife and children.
"A dog would die without his FORE
feet and an elephant without his
trunk wouldn't be in it with a mouse,
but man has brains and really does
not need his hands," says the hand
less wonder.
He says he doesn't miss his hands
because he can do anything the other j
fellows can do, except play the piano
and he always did prefer the Jews
harp.
Sutton take his condition good ma
turedly. When asked how it all hap
pened he says: ooh, times were dull
and 1 had to lay off a couple of
hands"
The truth is that when he was a
farmer boy of years he became Gu

has made his way in the world by
sheer pluck and determination. He

Joe Tinker, manager of the Whales,
has opened negotiations with Beau
mont and Dallas teams of the Texas
league, with view to purchasing
the franchises. Jos has also offered
to buy any in dividual players. If
peace is not declared this may be the
opening wedge to line the Texas cir
cult up with the Federal league.
Two teams will remain in the Con-
ference football race after today,s
games. Of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Chicago and Illinois, two will be elm
mated, except in the case of tie
games, and these do not appear
likely.
Chicago is already being counted
out. The Maroons have not played
much football thus far in the season
and Ctagg certainly can't hope for
any improvement in the games with
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois.
Four games remain on the Midway
schedule and one, with Haskell InI-
dams, is the only probable victory in
sight.
Wisconsin should win handiIy to-
day, smashing the Maroon defense
and stopping the team dead on de-
Tense.
Minnesota and Illinois furnish a
real argument. Pogue will not start
for the state eleven because of an in
jury and this loss is balanced by the
disbarment of Scion for profession
alism. Klein has been carefully pre-
pared to take Pogue's place.

last one hundred years adult life has
been protected and conserved by
laws, research and discoveries, yet the
life Of the infant is but little safer
today than century ago. Through
out this period the cruel doctrine Of
the survival of the fittest has thrown
a cloak of pious resignation over the
massacre of the innocents, and only
today is this vicious thought being
branded as a lie.
Modern authorities agree that if
babies were well born and properly
cared for, the great majority would
live. Newsholme does not hesitate to
say that the infant death rate meas
ures the decency and intelligence of
the average community.
The first step in acampaign to save
the 10000 babies now dying every
year from preventable causes is a
birth registration law. This permits
the municipal health authorities to
get into instant touch with every
newborn infant. A second step il
visiting nurses, and a third step is q
pure milk supply.
New Zealand, country where wo-
men vote, has taken all three of these
steps, and in five years the infant
death rate has been reduced over fifty
per cent. Only one-half Of the num-

Babies Contest Committee takes
very special pride. The little girl has
been entered in every Better Baby
Contest since that held at the county
fair three years ago. At the fit
contest, she scored SO per cent. Last
year she scored 81 per cent. At the
contest which closes today, she scored
90 per cent. Nothing could better in
oicate the value of the Better Babies
movement than the progress and inn
provement in this little girl. Her
mother, not herself very strong, set
herself scientifically to work to in
sure the health and steady improve
ment and ultimate good health of her
child. She has been unfailing in her
efforts to bring her child up to health
standards, and that she is succeeding
is proved by the record made by
Muriel each year. She promises yet
to make one hundred per cent score.
But whether she does or not, the
steady improvement, if maintained,
the continued study and effort to-
wards a perfect development, is GER
tain to insure for her good health and
a happier and more useful life, and
that, after ali, is the aim of the Bet
ter Babies movement.
Muriel is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Victor Mabire, West Belmont
street, city.
Goldie Eulalie Adams, scores 98.5
per cent. This dear little girl is six
teen months old, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. C. J. Adams, 305 West Ro-
mana street. She will no doubt enter
other contests, and bids fair to carry
off other honors.

Men who think that they are think
ing have fallen into the habit of
crying out against trace suicide. :"
Were they to stop talking for a mo-
ment and do some investigating, they
would soon discover that the trouble
with America does not lie in the
birth rate but in the death rate.
More than 100000 babies die in the
United States every year-over eight
hundred a day. Between 1901 and
1910, at least two-and-a-half million
were spirited back to heaven ere they
had spent twelve months on earth.
Fully two-fifths of this astounding
total failed to live a week, and thou
sands died while their first cry still
echoed in the ears Of the agonized
mother.

Der of babies die in New Zealand
today that used to die in 1910.
In the United States only seven
states have proper birth registration
laws. Only few of the larger cities
provide visiting nurses and pure milk
stations, and in most cases it is the
result of private charity rather than
public initiative. These criminal in
differences furnish the reason for the
deaths of 10000 babies every year.
Where does the fault lie if not with
the women of the United States? The
care of children is woman's Job, not
mans. From time immemoriaI it has
been her business to look after the
home and the babies; and if little
ones are dying today of neglect,
blame does not lie at the door of
man.
1t is true enough that the methods
of child protection have changed.
What used to be done by individuals
is now done by the state. Visiting
nurses, birth registration laws, pure
milk and up-to-date health depart
ments are necessities that must be
ordered by the ballot. But change in
methods has not changed the job. It
is still the duty of women to look
after the babies, and since she can

NEVADA MOTHER RIGHTS.

Mothers in Nevada have been made
equal heirs with fathers in the estates
of children. This has been brought
about by the women since they got
thew ote last year. Previously the
father could claim all the estate of
a deceased child, even though he had
deserted the mother and she had
reared the child. This unjust law is
still in existence in many states. It
does not show either confidence nor
justice in mother rights.
