LAST EAGLE IS
LAUNCHED AT
FORD SHIPYARD

Ford Eagle" boat Number 60, the
last one to be built by the Ford Motor
Company under the stipulations Of it's
wartime contract with the naval de-
partment, was launched at the River
Rogue (Detroit) yard, August l6, at
$3.50 D. m., and the long assembling
building, which is one third of a mile
long and housed 21 of the submarine
chasers at a time, is already being
transferred into a building plant
with a proposed output of 500 bodies
daily.
Ford officials, workers, sailors, and
many invited guests witnessed the
launching. Number 60 was dressed
with flags and bunting and, as it found
| its level in the Rouge and floated free
from the railroad tracks which had
carried it onto the eievator-ake

took part in the ceremony by. blowing

and is undoubtedly the biggest abuse
tires are put to, determining the proper
air pressure for tires is really a simple
matter.
Even a tire gauge is not absolutely
necessary. Just stand in front or rear
of your car and observe that the tires
are full and round-that they de not
sag noticeably under the weight of the
car. However the tire gauge should
be used to confirm your judgment.
Proper initiation is so important that
no chances should be taken. At all
times the tire should receive the bene-
fit of the doubt.
Tirs should have expert inspection
periodically-an appreciable saving in
money and annoying experiences are
certain to result.

baseball were announced today by
Coach Elmer E. Bearg. Bearg says
that the Washburn men Lave not been

years.
Games are to be scheduled with
Kansas university, the Aggies, st.
Marys, Kansas Normal, and several
other colleges of the state.
Topeka has no team in any accred-
tied league nor much prospect of ac-
quiring one. and the local fans are ex-
pected to turn out in large numbers
for the college -ames.
The coal shortage and the call for
volunteer miners took a great deal of
the starch out of basketball practice

hoping that the miners strike will be

SOCIAL BAN ON COLDS
That's Forecast for 25 Years Hence
by DIR, Charles f. Barker.


Twenty-Five years from now it will
be a social error to have a cold or
headache and if women weren't so
lazy today they would have better
health. DIR. Charles E. Barker told the
Woman's club yesterday afternoon.
Or. Barker lectured on sex hygiene
and his talk was startlingly plain. The
women sat perfectly still as they listen
ed with some misgivinSs at the frank
ness. He put it up to them to change
the customs of present-day styles that
are dangerous for high school girls to
wear.
DR. Barker was most emphatic in
his denunciat.on of familiarity between
high school girls and boys. Hands
off" is his advice. OF course the boys
want to hug and kiss a pretty girl
But if they are allowed to they will
lose their respect for her and in the
end she will lose her popularity. he
declared. The most admired and pop
ular girss are in most cases the ones
who have prudish principles, he con-
tinued.
DIR. Barker does not believe in sex
instruction in the schools. 1t should
be taught at home by the mother if
possible: and it should be taught early
and there should be no embarrassment
in talking of the functions of the hu-
man body.
Take care of yourself and make
some effort to keep well was DR.. Bar
ker's advice And to women who will
some day have children he urged par
ticularly the care of their health. 1t
is a woman's duty to the coming gem
erations to see that children are well

WILDE HERE TONIGHT
British Fly Weight Champion in
First American Appearance.

Milwaukee. Dec. 6.-Jimmy Wilde,
Great Britain's famous fly weight
champion will make his first Ameri-
can appearance here tonight meeting
Jack Sharkey, a rugged New York
bantam weight in a ten round no de-
cision contest. The match VIII be
staged at the auditorium which has a
seating capacity of ten thousand. In
dications were that. the contest would
draw $4,000. Wilde has been guar
anteed $1,000.
Wilde, g. pale, anaemic looking little
fellow, is both a boxer and a fighter.
He can hit from almost any angle, and
is master at the art of feintng wi. h
his head and drawing opponent on,
making him miss with the next move.
Sharkey, who has boxed the best
bantam weights in this country fin
ished his training here and assured
his admirers he would be able to scale
the stipulated 116 pounds without
weakening himself. The New Yorker,
however, is on the short end of the
betting with Wilde's admirers offering
two to one. Some Wagers of three to
one also have been reported
