another lung congestion or pneu-
monla is predisposed by the abuse of
alcoholic drinks. This should never oc-
cur with those who are educated be-
cause 1T is well-known by them that
an excess of anything is injurious and
lnterferes with the physical and mental
development of man.
inspiration of irritating substances
breathed into the lungs causes q seri-
Gus form of congestion of the respira-
tory tract often followed by true pneu-
monia.
We also have catarrhal or bronchial
pneumonia. Traumatic congestion fol-
lowed by a micro organic infection is
caused by a blow over the area oc-
cupied by the lungs. The embolic
form is due to an obstruction in the
vessels of the lungs. while the hypos-
tatic congestion is caused by the lungs
filling up with fluid in those who are
ola and weak, that may end in an in
fectious pneumonia.
There are many other forms of lung
congestions which are often serious
within themselves yet frequently take
on definite true pneumonia
The lesson much needed at this sea-
son OF the year when the death rate
from these various causes is leapinC
away above the normal level Is how to
avoid these different congestions of the
lungs.
We should avoid the excessive use
of all alcoholic drinks.
Seek fresh air at every opportunity

temperature varies greatly and fire.
quehtly well-balanced diet of meat
or eggs, starchy foods and fats should
be kept up so as to produce sufficient
heat to resist the thermal changes.
Never take drugs excepting under a
doctors advice as they often do much
harm. For instance, the headache
tablets and powders would interfere
with the heart action, reduce the cir
culation, making the body's resistance
less and more susceptible to pneu-
monia. When sick enough for drugs
it is time to call in a doctor.
Avoid coming in contact with in
fectious pneumonia. Keep children
away from measles and all other con-
tagious and infectious diseases. OF all
things avoid taking narcotics of any
kind.

Gil NICHOLS LARGEST
WINNER FOR CAMPAIGN
Professional Golfer Triumphs n
-Four Events.

Now that the Southern season Is
over, it has been decided that GIL
Nichols, Of Great Neck, won the
greatest number Of events. and in
doing so showed that q golfer Is never
through" until slow music Is heard.
Nichols won four open tournaments

fields made up of some Of the best
professional talent in the country.
In the Asheville. N. c., open event
the former metropolitan open title
holder had q. total Of 277. which led
the neld BY thirteen strokes at the
finish. Besides this, he also won the
East Coast Florida open at st. Angus
tine, the Columbia, s. C.. open and
the open event at the Columbia Coun-
try Club at Washington.
The shots GIL showed in his win
nings were strongly like those Of
other days, when he was liable to 60
on on q scoring rampage that none
Of the others could touch. and which
gave him the title OF the most Drill
liant but erratic" professional in this
country.
According TO one statistieIan, Nike

ANOTHER JOB AWAITS
PENNPS TRACK MENTOR
Robertson Could Join Hjertberg II
Athletics Are Stopped.

Should the University Of Pennsyl-
vania decide at the last minute to
cancel athletics for q year or two,
Coach Lawson Robertson may be out
of a job for that length Of time. 1t
is q pity II such q turn Of events
comes to pass on top Of his remark
able showing at the Penn carnival
last Friday and Saturday.
Friends of the Scotch trainer say
that Lawson need not worry. They
have learned from good sources that
Robby has been offered q fine paying
post as assistant to Ernie Hjertberg,
the Swedish athletic director. The
proposition, II Is said, has been made
to the Penn man. It Is not known II
he has answered yes or no.
Robertson and H1ertberg are old
pals. When Hjertberg recently sign
ed a three years more contract 70
coach the Swedes, the first thing that
came to his mind was to suggest TO
the Government the hiring OF two
or three assistants. To date he has
only signed one of his assistants.
He Is Carl Anderson. director Of ath.
letics at the Central High School OF
Newark.
Hjertberg Is drawing q fat sum
for his endeavors. His assistants will
be given good salaries.
Lawson Robertson established him.

Mike Murphy, in the relay games in
Philadelphia. when he captured three
relay championships on the final day
and won the sprint medley title on
the first day OF the meet
This Is Robertson's first year az
the coach OF the Penn track team. but
the work OF his athletes was so sem
sational that even the veteran coaches
who attended the relay games admit
ted that they had q new man to con-
tend with In the championships.

WARD LOST $65l,SO0
ON FEDERAL LEAGUE
This Doesn't Include Many Un-
recorded Loans.

NEW YORK, May THAT the late
Robert Boyd Ward, who, at the time
of his death. October IS, 1919 was
president OF the Brooklyn Federal
League club and vice president OF the
Federal League, lost a fortune In
baseball, has been disclosed.
A report of the appraisal OF his
estate, filed in westchester county,
showed that his estate, which prior to
his entrace in baseball venture. had
been estimated at more than $1,000
600, had decreased TO $1,T39,15s.
Ward was known as the Angel
Of the now defunct Federal League,
started in 1912. His son, George s.
Ward, also was interested in the af-
fairs of the Federal League. The
elder Ward put up much of the
money that enabled the promoters OF
the Federal League to pay the large
salaries that aroused the ire Of the
owners of the American and National
Leagues.
The appraised showed that Ward
hello promissory notes OF the Federal
League and the Brooklyn club
amounting to 1920, 500. 1t also was
shown that $50, 1000 was advanced to
the league out OF the estate on con-
tracts the club had made while he
was its president. He owned 1s34I
shares of preferred stock and 2s3I3
shares of common stock in the Fed
eral League clubs, which was set
down as of no value.
Charles A. Ward, eldest son Of Mr..
Ward, said he understood his father
paid par for this stock, or $3I3.OOO.
with the promIssory notes, this shows
a total OF 1851 500 sunk in baseball
venture, not taking into account the
large sums he advanced and OF which
the estate contains no record.
