WlNSHIP TODAY
Game to be Called at 4:15 at
Central Park-Winship
League Leaders.

The Roosevelt and Winship Junior
grade elevens will clash this afternoon
at AIS on the Central Park gridiron.
The Roosevelt team r h tailend-
ers this season and have very little
chance Of winning out in the race for
the championship. They have shown
their pluck the entire season, having
lost a number of their t players
and having nothing but green tim
ber'' to fill up the holes.
Winshdp Have First Honors.
winship up to date have the clear
title to first honors, but may be un-
balanced in their game with the
Rooseveltites. If Winship wins today
they have the undisputed right to
meet any other team or teams quail
flying for the semi-finals. At present it
looks as though the winner in the
Winship-Washington game will have
to clash with the Belmont team for
the junior pennant.
The remaining games follow:
Today, Roosevelt VS. Winship.
Oct. 16, Belmont VS.. Wilder.
Oct. 20, Washington VS.. Roosevelt.
Oct. 81, Winship VS.. Washington.

AN OLD-FASHIONED GIRL.

She can peel and boil potatoes,
Make a salad of tomatoes,
But she doesn't know Latin noun
from Greek;
And so we'll she cooks chicken
rs That your appetite would quicken,
But she cannot tell what's modern
from antique.
She knows how to set table
And make order out of babel,
Bu she doesn't know Euripides from
Kant,
Once at making pie I caught her,
Jove, an expert must have taught
her,
But she doesn't know true eloquence
from arnt.
She has firm conviction,
One might only, to read fiction,
And sh doesn't care for science, not
a bit,
And the way, she makes her bon
nets,
Sure is worth a thousand sonnets,
But she doesn't year for "culture," 1"
not a whit.
She can make her wraps and
dresses,
Till fellow fast confesses
That there's not anather maiden half
so sweet.
She's immersed in home completely,
Where she keeps all things so
neatly,
But from Browning not line can
she repeat.
Well, in fact, she's just woman,
Gentle, lovable and human.
And her faults she is quite willing to
admi.
'Twere foolish to ha e tarried,
And we went off and got married,
And / tell you ! am mighty glad of

common and the attention of every
student of the first aid is earnestly
invited to the great benefits to be
gained by studying how to prevent
them as part of his or her course in
first aid," said he. The speaker de-
clared that prevention is better
than cure in injury as we'll as in di-
sease," and he urged the members of
the Preparedness Club to stud; the
practical side, as much as the theo-
retical side. "The results of both, y
he said, 'are mainly dependant upon
the action of the individuals" DR..
Matthias stressed the fact "that every
injury should suggest how the, aeci-.
dent which caused it might have been
prevented. Still more, if any first
alder cares for real injury, he or
she should think over the cause for 1t
carefully and so far as within their
power take steps to prevent a SINH

cluded.

TNHE presence in England Of Judge
Henry Neil, of Chicago, father of
the American women's pension
laws" has prompted George Bernard
Shaw to make another drive at the mod
ern state for its neglect of the primary
rights of children to food and to protec-
ton. Judge Neil is in England for the
purpose of comforting with Lord Lytton
and members of the House of Commons on
the subject Of the mothers pension sys-
TEN. He recently sent to the Council of
National Baby Week a message received
from Bernard Shaw, which was subse-
quently printed in "Everyman" London) :
Child poverty is the only sort Of poverty
that matters. The adult who has been poor
as a child will never get the chill OF poverty
out Of his bones; but he will make room for
better nourished generation.
There are no doubt property owners in
America who tell Judge Henry Neil that 1t IS
confscation to tax one mans property to
nav for the education Of another mans chill
dren. We have scoundrels Of that sort In
England, too Some day they will perhaps
have the opportunity of saying it to higher
Judge than Henry Neil. He will send them
TO the place he reserves for those who have
learned to say Our Father but have not
learned to say Our Children The one with
GU: the other is blasphemy. Also it is un-
businessike folly. Neglected children cost
more than weli-nourished ones TO everybody
except their immediate parents.
"The principal business of policeman at
present is TO prevent hungry children from
obtaining food The proper primary business
of policeman is to seize every hungry child
and feed IT, TO collar every ragged child and
clothe it, to hand every illiterate child over
to those who will teach it how to read and
write.
"If America cannot see this, there is no
future for America. And 1t is because she
has been slow to see that so much OF her past
is shameful and so much of her present mis-
