success from the start Hill favors return
TO the practices that prevailed in the earlier
days of the Three-Eye. when most OF the players
were Youngsters recruited from the small
towns. and when the admission charge was
baff what IL has been the last few years.
Baseball is the average mans pastime, and
the admission must be kept within range on
the ordinary wage Garner This applies par
hcularIy to the minor baseball league cities
There are hundreds of lovers OF baseball in
Rock Island who did not patronize the games
the past few seasons because OF the fncreased
admission charge THAI was not the only rea-
son however Another was that the rivalry
that should mark pennant contest was alb
sent, this because OF the remoteness OF the
majority of the other cities composing the
league
A professional baseball team to succeed in
a city the size of Roch Island must be made
up Of players in whom the fans are iFerested
young fellows who are out TO climb in the
profession. team made up of players Dor
little interest for the local fan, for he knows
that the player is not working for the local
team as intensely as he would were he striving
TO make team in higher company in another
season
The who have been providing baseball
in Rock Island the past season are hopeful that
new circuit will be formed, one that will
make it possible TO supply the pastime at a
price which all the lovers of the game
afford 10 patronize; in other words, to get the
city back where it belongs in professional base
ball.

pirt Aid for Asphyxiatien.

Asphyxiation means smothering.
1t may be caused by anything that
shuts off or decreases the body's
oxygen supply to point below the
minimum essential for life. Water

asuhyxiate a person as surely as
the inhalation of Illuminating gas
or the exhaust gas of an aut0mo-
bile engine will Suppose you
should encounter a case Of as
phyxiation tonight What first aid
maneuver would you employ in the
effort to save life? Assume You
have dragged a victim from the
water, where ne has been MINERS
ed only a few minutes. Will You
make the rescue good, or will you
let the victim die by deprivation of
intelligent resuscitation? What a
horrible thing il must be for any
one to carry on his conscience the
guilty knowledge that a life has
been sacrificed because he failed
to apply proper restorative meas
ures at the right time! There can
be no excuse for that kind of ig-
norance. Every child, to say moth
ing Of adults, should know how to
resuscitate persons asphyxiated by
water, gas or smoke. 1t is too SIM
pie for any one to plead incompe-
tence. Any Boy Scout or Girl Scout
will show you how to maintain ar
tificial respiration by the best

In the case of drowning, all pop

be dismissed as bad theory and
worse practice Any water in the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Would you advise a person with
tuberculosis to spend the winter
in the Bermuda islands if the per-
son is financially able and would
not be homesick? Provided the pa
tient takes the cure faithfully
would a STAY there from December

wise him about any such expert
ment.
A Bit of Sanitary Fog.
1. Should bedroom windows be
kept open in foggy weather, or is
it harmful to health to breathe the
damp air when sleeping? 2. Should
bedroom windows be kept open
from the top or from the bottom
at night?-P. RID
Answer-So far as hygiene or
health is concerned, fog should
not cause the closing of bedroom
windows The natural and ideal
plan is to admit air near the floor,
as from the warm air register or
through an open window on one
side of the room, and allow the
warmer air, which rises, to pass
out through a window lowered
from the top at the other side Of
the room.

moved are not likely to live long

Answer-The expert is slightly
confused. Persons VINO refuse 20

extremely shoCtlived, many lasting
only a few weeks or months.
Whereas those who. like myself,
consent to sacrifice the pesky thing
while the sacrifice is still possible,
look forward to a long and happy
life.

The Daily Short Story

| Lights began to twinkle here and
| there. TheO had reached the Public
! Garden, and she sat down rather
suddenly on bench, for suppose
! the state house wasn't open, That
was very possible, for what public
building was open after dusk? She
glanced at her tiny wrist watch
half past five. No, it certainly was
not open to strangers at this hour
All this trouble for nothing,
Unable to cry, so great was her
disappointment. she looked up, up
to the bit of sky, visible over the
public garden, and at the few
tvfnkling stars that studded the
tiny dark space. Her ''impudent"
nose was certainly not impudent
now and her blue eyes shone with
tears she could not shed. To think
that she had made herself so alb
surd as to believe she could change
her name! How her friends at
home would laugh and tease her.
AND George had started it all. oh,
how she hated him, But if he
were here now she would be angry
no longer if he would only take
her back home, She was so tired
tired, She would try to walk to
the station and get something to
eat, and then return home to be
laughed at
She rose, walked listlessly across
the now brilliantly lighted street,
through the hurrying crowds, and
at the next crossing wavered, near
ly fell, then stumbling along for
another block Tin the wrong direc
tom, and just as she had resolved
she could walk no farther, a strong
arm encircled and carried her to
into the tender, sympathetic face
OF George Cameron.
Why, George!" and unconscious
ly she gave little sigh of relief anu
relaxed (still in the strong arms).
Where did you come from?
But oh, I'm glad you came, l

and c-r-y!" and then she did cry
and Struggled her head on his COM
Portable coat collar and cried and
cried.
Why, you silly dear" George
said when Thee had taken her head
from his collar, slipped out of his
arms, looked primly about, and
Strengthened her hat, showing him
with look that she did not intend
to act so silly" again. Il came
after you. The station agent said
you went to Boston, alone, and as
l knew you had no business to be
in Boston alone, 1 came after YOU
as fast as taxis and trains could

I'm not dear" Theo asserted.
pretending to be indignant.
You are-dear," he said, in a
rather teasing but tender tone,
Theo completely ignored his last
statement and queried suspiciously,
But why did you Gomez"
Why" his voice trembled now.
why? Because l love you," and
as he moved 10 take her in his
arms. she quickly slipped 10 the
other end of the seat. Her breath
was coming in little gasps, her
blood rushed TO her cheeks. So
he really cared. He didn't have to
tease her about her name, then, All,
her name, Il still was Theodore
Blair and would tease-so she sat
up very straight and uncompromis-

ingly in the gloom of the taxi and
asked:
Are you sure you didn't come TO
meet some other girl and met me
by ACCIDENT" Her voice was ma
licious now, for she knew she was
hurting George.
He sat straight in his corner and
started to protest, but Theo would
not listen. She sat quiet and SEEM
ingly unconcerned, looking out on
the crowds. Then as George fin
ished she turned her flushed aud
excited face toward him and told
the whole story, and after the
teeniest hesitation, she also told
him her opinion of Mr.. George War
rem Cameron-and ending, she
said
And if you promise never, never,
never to call me that idiotic name
again well be friends
She waited.
George pondered and suddenly
mis- brown eyes shone with the
teasing light Theo had seen in them
so often. So. smiling d bit mys-
teriously yet tenderly. he said:
Il really don't see why you don't
change your name. Let's see, now,
wouldn't Mrs. George Warren Cam
eron do?" and he caught her to
him in the semi-gloom OF the cab
and whispered teHderly, pleadingly,
his lips very near her ear: Teddy
Bear, darling. don't yon think it's
better than Theodora Felicia Blair
If / go along in the bargain?"
And evidently the whispered re-
ply of his Teddy Bear darling"
satisfied him, for he crushed he~
closer and kissed her hair. her eyes,
her "impudent, little and darling"
nose, and her lips. receiving as
many kisses in return. for Theo
certainly belived In fair play.

TEDDY BEAR.
By Miss Martha Lindeberge


Copyright, 1921, Wheeler Syndi-
cate, Inc)
Theodore Felicia Blair was
mad" just as mad as 20-year old
girl can be Why had her parents
ever given her that absurd name?
Why did her friends twist it out
of all resemblance to what it really
was? Teddy was bad enough-but
Teddy Bear" And to think that
George had fallen into the habit
with her other friends, George,
whom she had always gone with"
George who had taken her to all
the dances, George who,
There, the secret was OUT. Thee
was angry because George had dis
covered the new nicknamei If that
tiresome Mortimer Weeks had
called her Teddy Bear she would
have retorted in such spirited
way that he soon would have quiet
ed; but when George Cameron
called her that, what was the use
of trying to answer back? She
would merely have blushed, or
started to cry So when George
had called out cheeriIy:
Hello, there, Teddy Bear" she
only answered in a very cold tone
of voice:
How do you do, Mr.. Cameron"
and swept by like a chill breeze.
George had evidently thought her
cold, too, for he turned up his col
lar and pretended to SILVER, max
ing everybody around laugh.
So now Teddy Bear lay on her
pretty bed in her pretty ROOM, sob
bling until her pretty hair was rum
pied and her eyes red. She would
change ner namei She would leave
the town. she would leave George,
she would leave everybody. She
suddenly sat up. for was not her
first plan feasible? Could she not
change her name! So why note
Hurrah, That was what she
would do She jumped off the
bed. walked about the room and
then stopped in front of her mir
ro-. She carefully regarded the
face it had reflected-biue eyes,
hair that crinkled and curled about
her small vivacious face in auburn
gold waves; red lips, dark eye
lashes and eyebrows and a peach
and-cream complexion. Also a nose
that was just like her, George said,
small, impudent and darling"
Now she would show George,
She would change her name and
then he couldn't tease her any
longeri
Theodore stood confused and be-
wiidred in the noise and rattle of
South Station. Her eyes were tired
and her head dropped Hstlessly
Her hat was awry. one of her
gloves gone: one could easily see
she was stranger in Boston and
una cquainted with its rough. good
natured crowds. Then, plucking up
courage, she moved toward the in
formation window and asked how
to reach the state house.
She then started out, walking
slowly, for she wished to see the
windows and the crowds She had
liy ID near Boston all her life, but
had never been in alone, and so she
row resolved to make the best of
Ler stolen opportunity.
Dusk was falling on the city.
