Four games will be played with A.

it is certain at least one game will be
played on the campus, and probably
one at A. & NJ. Tupelo, Columbus,

SALZEDO, HARPIST,
BACK FROM TRENCHES

Having had my baptism Of nre, /
shall now become Immersed In music"
Thus did Carlos Salzedo, who will be
the soloist with the Philadelphia Or
chestra at It's next Wilmington con-
cert on Monday evening, March a,
greet these shores upon his return TO
America after year at the battlefront
In France. Emaciated and hollow-eyed,
he came after having done his bit" for
La Belle France" But the wieter OF
privations and exposures spent In the
trenches and the hospitals had very
nearly done for him. II was feared by
his friends and colleagues that he was
too depleted TO stand the strain Of the
heavy season Of concerts he was called
upon TO face There need have been
no fear. however, for what Salzedo
most craved was work. Work, so that
he might forget his lassltude: work, so
that he might drown the ever-present
memories Of the horrors he had wit
messed.
And so he worked hard, playing solo
playing and touring with
the Trio de Lutece, Of which he Is a
member worked at composing, teach
ing. It was incessant work, but, also,
It was recuperation.
Once again Salzedo Is his old debon-
nalr self; the savant and bon vivant as
we'll as musician Those who know
his playing best speak Of the increased
nobility and breadth that has come
Into it-'jhat spiritual something"
But" says Salzedo. surely that Is not
strange: you see, It was only Salzedo
the harpist who went away-it was
Salzedo the soldier OF France who re-
turned VOLTA tout"
Salzedo will be the assisting artist
In a program Of French works which /
Mr.. Stokowskl has arranged for the
concert. He viii play two

ASBESTOS BEDS SAVE
TWO BABIES LIVES
By the United Press

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 27.-"Asbestos
beds" have saved the lives Of two
babies.
Until Dr. Eleanor G. Jones, Of the
Woman's Hospital devised this novel
couch recently no one had ever heard
Of asbestos beds" But the intuition
and energy Of this woman, head OF the
children's ward, have combined to give
tho world what appears to bo a cure
for pneumonia.
When Selma O'Nelll. one year old.
and Robert Hazlett, is months old. were
brought into the Woman's Hospital so
seriously III with pneumonia that ply
sicans gave them but a few hours TO
live, Dr.. Jones made up her mind that
the children must be saved.
send the hospital engineer here, and
get a plumber. too" she ordered. "Get
two Iron cots. some lengths OF hot
water pipes and two asbestos sheets "
The sheets Of asbestos were placed
under the bedsprlngs and turned I'D at
each end Of the cots so that they cover
ed the head and feet. The hot water
pipes, placed under the cots. were con-
nected with the hospitals heating
plant. and the children were tucked
In between the sheets. For days they
were tucked In their cots with the room

they are playing with the other chill

Begin by making a hot-bed now,
says the Commission. Early plants
such as cabbage. onions. lettuce, and
similar vegetables should be ready for
the ground In the North early In April.
The war gardener should now be
diagramming the layout Of his garden,
to determine the necessary amounts
and variety Of each vegetable to be
raised.
1T is important also to arrange early
for fertilizer and seeds; for there Is not
an over-supply Of either on hand.
1T Is surprising" the Commission
concludes, how much food can be
raised on a tiny plot. Some Of the re-
suits obtained last year were astonish-
ing Men. women. boys and girls, who
had never titled a foot OF ground raised
large supplies OF vegetables In their lit
tic war gardens; often enough TO keep
tho home table furnished with nice
fresh vegetables all summer long-wlth
a surplus for canning and drying for
winter use"
