Views of Sawyer on Rehabilitation

TH HE question of disqualification
of the World war veterans is one
embracing many important fea-
lures which have heretofore been I'M
necessary in the construction of prop
er hospitals for the care of civilian
sick, according to Brig. Gen. Charles
E. Sawyer, the Presidents physician
and military aid.
There is nothing too good for. the
World war veteran who is trying to
regain his health and re-establish HIM
self in civilian activities" he says.
"a vocational training program which
is carried out on the basis of enter
tainment and hospital occupation is
unfair, both to the World war vet
eran and to those who have the re-
sponsibiiity of operating such an in
stitution.
Sensible engagement such as will
improve both mind and body should be
the policy of the rehabilitation forces.
To make such a plan workable 1t is
quite important that every institution
giving hospital care to the ex-soldiers
should have well-equipped and per-

When Benny Leonard doesn't knock
out an opponent, he gets the razzberry
from the fans.
He's figured to have the stuff neces-
sary to kick over his men every time
he lets one go.
That is expecting lot of any fight
er. Some fighters are harder to hit
than others.
But aside from this there is another
reason. 1t Is Benny's mother.
Every time he leaves home for a
fight she says-"Benny, my boy, please
don't hurt your opponent any more
than you have to-and don't knock
him out"
So perhaps she is responsible for
many a pleasant evening some medi-
OGRE fighter has spent with Benny
when he should have been counted
out.

WERDEN ADMITS BABE
RUTH SWINGS HARDER
Fans Yelled Because He Drove
the Ball So Hard.
Yankee Slugger's Big Assets Are His
Swing and Weight - No Excite
ment Over Werden's Record
of as Home Run Drives.

The old home-run king takes or his
hat to the new one. Perry Werden,
homer king, who made his record of
40 drives in 1895, admits that Babe
Ruth has harder swing than he had
when he made his mark.
There is no doubt but that Babe
has it on all of them-modern and
ancient" says Werden.
His swing and his weight are his
biggest assets.
When 1 made my record, was
playing with the st. Louis club of
the old Western league.
There wasn't much talk about my
40 home runs. The truth is, some
fans PANIED me because swung too
hard.
Fences were farther back then. I
had TO hit the ball hard to lift it out
of the park.
Il weighed $50 pounds-if I had
been heavier / might have hit them
as far as Babe.
Il batted rignt-handed. My aver
age that year was .42S."
Werden is now calling balls and
strikes in the Dakota league.
He isn't as spry as he once was,
but he runs the game like a car.
His record was almost forgotten I'M
til Ruth made % home runs in 1919.
Then the dope on Werden was dug
up for comparison.
The best day at bat Werden ever
had was on July %, 1895, when he
raped out four home runs and Il
single in five times at bat, giving the
slugger a total of II bases for one
game.
Werden stood at the plate with his
feet close together, lifted himself
back and met the ball with his whole
weight behind the bat.
He had a good eye and seldom
struck out. His grip was like Babes,
students Sc for athletic tax.

Adams is StaIwart.
Adams is one of the stalwarts of the
Pirates as he was in 1909. And Baker
is batting in the runs the Yankees

Hygienic DISTINGUISHING.

The hygienic Importance of electric
DISTINGUISHING has been shown in a re-
port by Surgeon ]. G. Cummings OF
the United States army. Investigating
the effects of the influenza epidemic
in institutions having a quarter of a

where dishes were washed by hand
per 1000 persons; but in hotels and
other places having electric dish
washers the rate was only one-third
as great, or 1OS per 1000. The wash
ing by machines is not only more
thorough than hand washing, but
hotter water is used, and this insures
more effective sterilization.
