For lack Of featherweights of class,
Kilbane Is being forced to take en-

CRAWFORD LEAVES MARK
FOR ASPIRING YOUNGSTERS

NEW YORK, March 26.-The news
from Waxahatchie, Texas, that Hughie
Jennings, Detroit manager, had decid-
ed Sam Crawford no longer was fit to
hold down right field for the Tigers re-
moved another Of the veterans from
baseball in favor of younger. sinews.
Crawford had been playing major
league baseball as regular for eigh-
teen years. Previous to that time he
had walloped the ball in the minors for
a couple of seasons.
Crawford first played major league
baseball in Cincinnati as member Of
the old National League team there
before the American league was organ
lied. Cincinnati basked in the rays of
his brilliant smashes for four years be-
fore relinquishing rights to him in ia
Vor of Detroit. He was awarded to the
Tigers in the peace agreement of 1898
when the American league was recog-
nized as a part Of organized baseball.
Crawford was one of the mightiest
sluggers who ever faced a pitcher. His
hits were always smashed. They were
solid, clean blows and many of them
were of the extra base variety. 1t has
been said of Crawford that he could
hit ball harder and farther than any
many who ever played major league
baseball.
His batting average for the IS years
lie spent in the majors as regular
was over the 300 mark; 81 to be e&-

tween IL and Is left school to enter
industry in 1915 and probably more
than that in 1916. Between $4,000
and 100000 children IL and II years
old are now at work. There is an
abnormal demand for boy labor; alb
normally high wages are paid to chill

Munition Workers states that boy
workers are drawing on their reserve
strength and is anxious to know
what will become of the boys after
the war And when we read that mu-
rjtion factories have increased the
hours of labor for children to 67 a
week, that night and Sunday labor are
not unknown, and that that the com
mittee recommends that boys under ID
and girls under IS be not employed
more than IL hours a day, we can
imagine the effect of such conditions
on the health of the children. These
conditions prevail not in England alone
but in all the warning countries.

MRS. MAX WEST TELLS OF
CARE OF THE BABY'S EYES

Mrs Max West, of the Federal Child
ren's bureau, says large part of the
blindness among children is needless,
because the cause is well known and
the remedy at hand. Many states now
require that the simple treatment de-
scribed below shall be used in every
case, and it would do much to save the
children from this incalculable call
amity if mothers throughout the world
understood the means of prevention.
At the moment of birth the baby's
eyes are to be wiped with bits OF
sterile cotton, using a separate piece
for each eye and wiping from the nose
outward. Following this the eyes are
to be treated with an antiseptic which
is to be dropped into each eye, first
lifting the lid in order to get the
medicine properly into the eye.
This very simple and inexpensive
treatment is sufficient in many cases
to prevent the development of the dis
ease of the eyes of new born children
which lads to blindness. But if the
treatment has been neglected and any
symptoms of the disease appear, such
as redeemed and swollen lids, the
mother should insist upon having the
doctor begin the treatment at once, for
II neglected, even for twenty-four
hours, it may be too late to save the
sight.
1t is best to send the baby to a hos
pital for treatment. if the eyes are
badly infiamed and discharging pus,
as only the most constant and careful
treatment will save them, and even
then it may not be successful.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-03-26

real stress comes? Our school rooms
will be deserted. agencies for the pro-
lection and study of the health, morals
and development of little children will
be closed, and the exposure Of child
rem to the rigors of industrial life will
be. based solely on the high motive Of
patriotic service. The children of the
present generation will suffer an ir-
reparable loss unless those of us who
have dedicated ourselves to their pro-
lection keep our heads clear and our
motives unmixed, determining that
whatever else happens, all other treas
ure, all forms of wealth, all other
methods of defense be sacrificed before
we compel the children of America to
pass through the fire."
