LITTLE CHILDREN
AID BABY SAVING
Those Who Have Been Helped
Bring Others That Need
Attention.

Sixty-three mothers with children under
; years of age flocked to the Peoples
settlement yesterday afternoon, seeking
to learn from the physician and nurses
in charge OF the Child Welfare Station
whether their baby WAS healthy, if not
how they could improve its health and
what they could do to restore it to normal
condition. The interest and enthusiasm
attending the clinic in the baby saving
campaign of the State Defense Council
exceeded that of any similar gathering
held so far.
One Of the chief questions uppcrmost
in the minds Of the mothers was whether
the station would be continued so that
they might from week TO week call and
obtain advice about their children.
Forty children were weighed and
measured and 23 mothers with children
that had been weighed and measured at
other Welfare Stations came 10 the
Settlement to obtain additional advice
about their babes.
Among those who came TO the station
we're a man and a woman. The man
Uas Swede and the mother An American.

specimens of the human race that the
nurses or physician had ever seen at its
age. Later it was learned that the man

CHAPTER TX.
A Find In the Drifts,


Before the week was over, winter
had come to Sunrise Cove and The
Corners in earnest. Snow fell and
drifted, until there was scarcely any
thing to be seen one morning when
Carolyn May awoke and looked out Of
her bedroom windows but q white,
fieecy mantle.
This was more snow than the little
girl had ever seer In New York. She
came down to breakfast very much ex-
cited.
Uncle Joe had shoveled of the porch
and steps, and Prince had beaten his
own dooryard in the snow in front Of
his house. For he had a house of his
own, nova roomy, warm one-built
by Mr.. Parlow.
1t must be confessed that, although
Uncle Joe paid for the building Of his
doghouse, 1t never would have been
built by Jedidiah Parlow had It not
been for Carolyn May.
At noon Uncle Joe came home, drag
ging a sled-a big roomy one. glisten-
Ing with red paint. Just the incest
sled Carolyn May had ever seen, and
one of the best the hardware dealer
carried In stock.
"Oh, my, that's lovely" breathed
the little girl In awed delight. 'That's
ever so much better than any sled ]
ever had before. And Prince could
draw me on 1t, II I only had a harness
for him. He used to drag me In the
park. OF course. II he saw q cat. ] had

Mr.. Stagg. once started upon the
path Of good deeds, seemed to like 1t.
At night he brought home certain
straps and rivets, and In the kitchen,

fitted Prince to a harness which the

Dunraven' o. which they had sailed for Europe, was sunk, Carolyn
a yNameron-Hanna'sC arlyn-is sent from New York to her bach
eior uncle, Joseph Stage, at the Corners. The reception given her by
nr uncle is o very enthusiastic. Carolyn is also chilled by the stern

now in training at Camp Gordon de-
clare that they are getting ready to
give the Huns in France the toughest
war they ever dreamed of, and that,
in the meantime, they are setting a
record for subsequent training schools
that will take some pep to measure up
to.
AS proof of their thoroughness and
rapidity of work may be cited the
fact that one week ago the boys de-
cided to issue an annual to be known
as The Gold Bar" By the end of the
week, despite the fact that they had
only one afternoon off, and had to edit
it at night, the annual was ready to
come off the presses, the 81 900 that
was the cost of publication having
been already collected.

MILITARY DISCIPLINE
GIVEN COLLEGE GIRLS

ATLANTA, GA.-College girls are
DOMINIC the khaki, and, in the spirit
OF training for war service at home
to support the soldiers on the line,
are preparing to undergo rigid
course of training for nurses, while
others are giving general instruction
along all lines.
The girls at Elizabeth Mathcr in
Atlanta have adopted the idea of TAX
ing a systematic course of physical
training such as that given in the
army in order to secure a proper
American bearing and a physical de.
velopment that will withstand any
demands made upon them for service
during the war. That such course
will prove beneficial, is the opinion
of Miss Blanche Loveridge, the pres
idcnt OF the institution, who cites the
marvellous improvement in the ranks
and file of the drafted men through
regular training and exercises.

PROPER BREATHING TO
HELP SWIMMERS

Anyone's body will float when the
lungs are filled with air, but as hui
man body is trihe heavier than wat
er it will sink unless buoyed up by
air i'll the lungs, says Dan Beard in
the August Boys Life. Consequent
ly if you learn to breathe so that you
blow out your breath in time to intake
a new breath before you sink, it is
evident that you will not sink at all.
When breathing while swimming do
not take too many breaths but let
your mouth serve as the intake. 1t
can do it quicker than your nose be-
cause your mouth is bigger than your
nostrils or nose hole.
Now if any of you tenderfeet
drown this season it will be your own
fault. Breathe right and you will
float.
