AwoRD FROM MASSACHUSETTS.
About the treatment of influenza an
encouraging note comes from Msssaohu-
setts. In the hands of some prominent
physicians in recent years very encour-
aging reports have como Of the treatment
Of pneumonia and some Of the other
acute diseases by exposing them to the
open air. After very favorable show
ing made by Surgeon General Brooks
of the Massachusetts, State Guard and
bis associates at the influenza hospital
In Brookline, the Massachusetts Depart
ment of Health has adopted the same
plan for the present epidemic. tits the
treatment of cases of influenza and In.
luenzs-pneumonia with open air and
sunshine in liberal doses. During the
daylight hours the patients on their cots
are taken right out into the open. The
reaults. with those running 4 tempera-
ture from 102 to 104 degrees F., have
been that, within few hours, their
temperature has been brought down to
normal with . corresponding improve.
ment in respiration and pulse rate.
That state department of health and
also the United States Shipping Board
at Boston have adopted plans for emer.
gency hospitals designed for facilitating
the air and sunshine treatment OF In.
f1uepzs patients. Our State Department
of Health has secured blue prints from
both sources for possible use In Maine.

WOULD BUY K. C. BLDG
Funston Athletic Director Wants Motor
Hall for a Gymnasium.

Camp Funston, Kan, Feb. Capt.
Paul Wilmington, division athletic di-
rector, is making negotiations for the
purchase of the tractor show build
ing in Kansas City and have it moved
to Camp Funston for use as a gym
nasium This is the building near the
Union Station, where the tractor snow
will be held beginning February H.
Captain wilmington is in receipt OF
an offer from a Kansas City house
wrecking firm, which has ARA nged
for the purchase of the building, to
set it up in Camp Funston for S14,
400. Some officer of the athletic de-
partment will inspect the building and
determine whether it is suitable for
use as a gymnasium. and If so, cam
paign will be started to collect this
sum of money.
Under the arrangements of the
zone, the division exchange will show
substantial profit, which may be
used for such purposes if approved by
the commanding general of the di-
vision. Athletic officers have been
trying to get subscriptions for $4,000
to build a gymnasium, agreeing to
repay the underwriters from the prof
its of the zone after profits begin ac-
cruing.
Captain Wilmington is optimistic
over the prospects of closing con-
tract for the tractor show building
and believes the required money can
easily be collected under the repay
ment plan.

ALL-STAR Team
Veiock Picks Club He Would
Like To Own.
Speaker, Cobb and Joe Jackson
His OutfielderS.
BY JACK vEIOCK.

New York, Feb. Picking a
mythical a1l-star baseball club from
the major leagues is a venture that
will always get a writer plenty of
arguments.
But as difference of opinion among
fans and scribes keeps the fire burn
ing in the hot stove league the writer
will take a chance. having already
ventured the rating of the most valu-
able players in individual positions.
A team composed of stars might
break up anybody's pennant race by
the 1des of August And then again,
it might not Star ball players are
temperamental and they might not
ever corral all the stars it is at least
interesting to speculate.
The Pitching STAFF.
Starting with the pitchers, it ap-
pears that a staff composed of six
stars would be plenty large enough
balanced staff the writer would select
Alexander, johnson and Cicotte as
the right-handed members, and Ruth,
Schupp and Vaughn to do the port
side shooting.
To handle the slants of those twirl-
ers no two catchers with more class
than Bill Killifer and Wallie Schang
could be found. and Ray Schalk would
be the choice in place of either of this
pair.
At first base there is no player ex-
cept McInnis who could fill that posi-
ton to better advantage than George
Sisler, and Sis would be our selection.
Starting with Sisler on the initial
bag, we would choose Eddie Collins
for second base, Roger Hornsby for
shortstop and Heinie Groh for the hot
corner.
Strong Outfield.
An. outfield combination composed
of Cobb, Speaker, Jackson and Roush
could scarcely be improved upon. and
any manager who should happen to
of so much fielding talent would prob
ably have to be slammed in the bug
house twenty minutes later.
These players are the outstanding
players as we see them, and with the
addition of a utility infielder-say
Ray Chapnian-the lineup which fol-
lows is far beyond the widest dreams
of any manager:
An An-Star Ball Club.
First Base-George Sisler.
Second Base-Eddie Collins
Third Base-Heinie Groh.
Shortstop-Roger Hornsby.

A Memory.
1 remember, 1 remember
When | was a lad,
And all the world was always gay,
And not a care / had.
1 never knew a pang of woe,
For it was always May.
Till suddenly there came blow
That took my breath away.
That day will never be forgot
In all my earthly years,
We fingered in the vacant lot
And whispered thru our tears.
The world turned suddenly to gray,
A saddened silence fell
All. Well I recollect the day
When Corbett beat John L.
The most thrilling moment of our early
childhood came one Winter day when we
linton House barber shop in Milwaukee
and saw John L. getting a shave.
Now that he has gone Sullivan is the hero
of thousand anecdotes, most of which
he had never suspected
Two Comedians
The football coach is full of gloom,
His heart is dismal as a tomb.
And all he does IS fret and fume
Before the seasons started
AS cherries as a skull and bones,
He fills the air with means and groans,
For he is broken hearted.
In baseball. on the other hand,
The manager is like band
That rings turnout a happy land
Its loud and joyous prattle.
Tho men of common sense may think
His baseball team is on the blink,
He is an optimisti gink
About the coming battle.
One sings a wild and merry jazz
About the wondrous team he has,
The other is as mournful as
The cold gray morning after
One likes to pose in deep despair,
The other scatters heated air.

Membership Campaign viii Include
Soldiers in Purchase.

Two memberships in the Y. NJ. C. A.
for the price of one is the newest stunt
to be used by the Topeka "Y' in plan
ming a membership campaign. The
only condition attached to this offer
is that one of the memberships be
made out to a soldier. Of course the
soldier is not often in a place where it
is POSSIBLE for him to make use of the
membership, but on the other hand it
will make the soldier who has always
been member of the Y. NJ. c. A feel
considerably better about using the
facilities of the Red Triangle and will
make him feel more at home in the
Red Triangle huts.

President Wilson wants democrats
elected to congress because he figures
that republicans are detrimental to
the winning of the war. If this is the
case then the president should serd
back that million or more republicans
that the fighting in France in the
trenches and fill their places with dem
ocrats. If it is necessary to have only
democrats in congress to win the war
the republicans in the trenches must
be equally detrimental to the good of
the country. The argument of the
president is based on partisanship.
The democrats have a majority in
both houses of congress. When it
came time to vote for raising an army
to whip Germany and her allies this is
the way the vote stood in the house of
representatives: Republicans pol;
democrats 1872; independents 5. The
vote against the measure was republi-
cans 8, democrats Is. When the dem
ocratic president asked for the pass
age of the woman suffrage bill as a
war measure 1--WE don't think it was
necessary but he wanted it) it was the
democrats that killed that bill. And
80 it is on all measures that were
needed to support him in this war.
The republicans backed him and they
are backing him up in the trenches.
If they are good enough to stand up
and be shot at for the good of their
country don't you think the republic
cans are good enough to sit in con-
gressional seats?
