L Roy DeKay, under whose leader
ship an all-home team has been or
ganized to finish out the season
with, after the paid player idea blew
up so high, brings in this informa-
ton about St. Anthony: On July 81
its team was beaten by Rexburg Z
to a goose-egg, and on August 4 the
proud st. Anthonians stalked off the
field in funk over a decision in
their game with Idaho Falls. Mr..
DeKay also calls attention to the
fact. which we have not investigated,
that st. Anthony, which roasted
Blackfoot for not supporting it's
team, has been unable yet to pay
its share of the proceeds of the July
"a game, which total was to have
been divided up among the six teams
of the league. For some reason or
other St. Anthony does not seem to
pungie up.
Such are not the earmarks of the
truest sportsmen.
On the other hand Blackfoot
played Rexburg on August 4 with
our all-home team and held the
score down to to against us. Rex
burg stands at the head of the
league in percentages, and St. An
thony next to Blackfoot at the foot.
This would indicate that our late
season, home-player team is in bet
ter shape to put up a game than
st. Anthony's all-summer league
team.

FIRST Aid IN

Department Of Agriculture Makes
an Interesting Statement.
USUALLY FAR FROM DOCTOR

Five Miles From Family Doctor
Survey Shows Number Of Children

Fortunate IL the farm family whose

for the sick and have. an. emergency
Kit fitted up and at hand. According
to the figures In q survey Of some TO-
GOO farm homes recently conducted by
the United States department Of agri-
culture, the average farm home Is
more than OK miles from the family
doctor, nearly II miles from trained
nurse, and about IA miles from h0spi-
tal These distances are shortest in
the eastern section and longest in the
western section. This means that even
though the farm home be provided
with an automobile and telephone.
the farm family may be obliged to act
unaided in case of sickness, child
birth, or serious accident, and that
Its members perhaps need more than
ordinary training to prepare them for
such exigencies.
Along with proper nutrition, cloth
ing and exercise, sanitary conditions
nave an important bearing on the
health Of children and adults on the
farm. On the basis Of $3.50 reports,

Few Children in Rural Homes.
Among the surprises in tabulating
the surveys was the small number of
children In farm homes, 7,467 reports
show an average of but 1.1S under ten
years Of age for each home and but
O.89 between ten and sixteen years
of age. It may be Of interest here to
note that the number of children in
rural homes of the East falls below
the countrywide average, the report
showing 90 children under ten years
and OFT children between ten and

NTOW that it is settled fact that
~ one piece dresses for fall share
popularity with suits. for general and
street wear, 1t is agreeable to find that
the new models on display are very
trim and neat looking. There is a
vogue for intensely feminine styles,
and this promotes the liking for
frocks to take the place of suits on
the street and elsewhere. Suits them
selves are rarely built on severe lines,
although there is never time when
a plain suit beautifully tailored, need
make any excuse for itself, it is al
ways good. But the fall season
promises variety of styles and orna-
mentation in frocks that are of SUBJ
stantial materials and destined to do
much service.
All these circumstances pave the
way for such smart examples Of the
one-piece frock as that shown above.
They are made, as suits are, of depend
able wool fabrics in dark colors-

these models will impress some new

UTILIZING Solar Heat.

The scarcity Of fuel has naturally
turned attention to solar heat in sun
ny regions. In late paper. G. Lee
Roy Messenger states that, in Egypt.
the Punjab and South Africa. glass
topped teakwood boxes, blackened in
side and insulated, serve as ovens for
cooking, and find many other uses.
The midday temperature inside has
been found to range from 240 degrees
to 275 degrees f.. while an auxiliary
mirror may raise 1t as high as 800 de-
grees. The "solar cooker" devised at
the Smithsonian institution comprises
a loop of pipe containing oil, portion
Of the loop passing through a box
containing an oven, while another por-
ton receives the solar rays concen-
trated upon it by an iron-backed glass
mirror having the form of half CYL
inder. The unequal heating causes
the oil to circulate throughout the tube.
Heat is thus conveyed to the oven and
cooking is done without fuel.
