Report of Public Health Nurse.

1t is now five months since Miss
Brown came to Union City, and in
that time she has made 900 visits
These include nursing, Instructive,
Prenatal, Infant Welfare, Tubercu-
losis and school visits.
All children in school have been
weighed and measured and large
per cent were underWeight. This
does not always mean that they are
undernourishcd. DR.. Emerson, Of
Boston, gives five principles which
may be the cause of malnutrition,
and every one is surprised to find
that improper food or lack of food is
not the most important: CD Physi-
cal defects, particularly Of the nasal
passages. CD Lack of home control.
CD Overfatiguo from lack of sleep
and other causes. (4) Defective
feeding, eating tco fast, when over
tired, etc. ((5) Faulty health hab-
it's, insufficient fresh air, cleanliness,
| too little play out of doors.
Physical inspection was also Civ
err each child for such defects as
tonsils, nasal breathing, teeth, hear
ing, eyes and skin, and as rs per cent
of all children in the United States are
defective, Union City has quite a
large number that require corrections
early, as every child has the right to
be well. The parents were notified
of the defects found, and if school in
spection is to be of value, it will en-
ly be as the parents cooperate in
having the correction of defects made
at an early date. Miss Brown also
advises the thorough medical exam
ination of each child at least once a
year by the family physician.
A health center has also been es-
tablished in Union City where Miss
Brown may be found at $3.50 am.
and 40 pm. All kinds of up-to-date
literature on health may be had too.

into tiresome lead-and-clinch enter
talnment which seemed to please the
fans like flies in the milk. Carney
was the aggressor all the way and
won by couple of city blocks.
Frankly, the showing of McGuiness
was keen disappointment to the
fans. A well-built boy with plenty of
hitting strength concealed in his
shoulders and nimble on his feet, he
went into a defensive shell and re-
fused the urgent demands of Referee
"Pop" O'Brien to get in there and
fight" Whether he was afraid of
the Carney right or had a date fol-
lowing the fuss is not known. Any
how, there was no danger in the mill
ing for him. Carney" tried hard all
the way, but did not risk breaking his
hands on the maze of elbows and
shoulders presented to him. He won
easily.
The best bout of the evening was
the third preliminary between Johnny
Traub of Chester and Young CLANCY
of Philadelphia. Both boys slugged
their way through the six sessions to
! their hearts content. Early in the
bout, the left hooks of CLANCY had the
Chester entry in trouble. Traub, how
ever, changed his attack in the third
and stayed inside the CLANCY leads,
meanwhile delivering sufficient pun
ishment to the Philadelphians mid
section to slow him up quite bit. AS
the bout went on, these ripping body
blows from clinches had their effect
and CLANCY was mighty tired young
man at the final bell. Traub showed
that he can take world of punish
ment and deliver no small amount
himself. The popular decision SEEM
ed greatly in favor of Traub.
The other bouts were close and
=. plenty of action was displayed The
, opener brought together Soldier John
, son and Pete Devine, both scaling
slightly above the lightweight limit.
Devine punched his way to an easy
: victory after the first round, which
, was all Johnson. The second act saw
Flinkey Kaufman outpoint Bobby
, Fletcher in fast six-rounder. Both
boys looked fit and no heavy punish
r ment was meted out, both depending
on their speed and science to avoid
! playing the role of gentle receiver.
4 Referee Frank "Pop" O'Brien, we'll
known Philadelphia referee, deserves
: a great deal of credit for the way in
y which he handled the boys in the ring.
The old-timer hasn't missed many
S champs in his string of years in the

NEWARK DROPS HARD GAME TO
NINTH WARD TEAM, 80. POOR
DECISIONS HURT LOCAL HOPES
Wilmington Team Lucky to Vim is Consensus of
Opinion. Local Gridders Shoe Great
Improvement. In Ofensive Play
TWICE COME WITHIN SCORING DISTANCE


The local gridiron gladiators hook
ed up with the fast Ninth Ward team
of Wilmington on the High School
field last Saturday but the cards
seemed stacked against them and
they came out on the short end of a
80 score. 1t was heart-breaking
game to lose because of the fact that
Newark clearly outplayed the visitors
at many stages of the game. Both
teams relied upon their aerial attacks
for yardage.
In the second quarter, Ninth Ward
thrilled the crowd by a steady march
down the field on line plunges and
sweeping end runs by Stevens and
Collins. At the twenty yard line
Newark stopped them cold. Salters
was called back. from the line and
made good his attempt at a field goal.
From then on the game resulted in
battle between team desperate for
a score and team determined to hold
that slender margin of victory. The
first half ended with Newark in pos
session of the oval on the visitors five
yard line and rearin' to take it
across when the whistle blew for the
half.
Then later in the game Newark
threatened the Ninth Ward goal on
three separate and distinct occasions
but failed to push it across.
Several comments were heard dur
ing the game relative to the poor

The first of series of boxing
shows to be held during the coming
season was staged in the Elkton
Armory last Friday night before over
500 spectators and proved to be a
great success especially to the pro-
moters. The big hall was crowded be-
fore the first bout came on and from
the great interest displayed, Bill Nc
Gowan should have no fears for fu-
ture displays of the gentle art.
The wind-up presented one Bat

by the way, was the tamest bout of

FORT DUPONT BEATS
CAMP VAIL TEAM 1877
Over 1000 People See Game
at Delaware City, Sunday.
Fort Backheld Stars

Before the largest crowd to wit
ness a Sunday football in Delaware
City for many years, the Fort dupont
football team downed Camp Vail in
a Service series between teams in the
Second Corps Area by the score of
1877. Both teams played splendid
football and showed signs of many
days of good hard practice. Although
outweighed by the visitors, dupont
displayed a better knowledge of the
fine points of the game, and this, cou-
pied with the aggressive offensive
presented by their backfield more
than made up for the lack of pound
age.
The first score came in the second
quarter. Madore, Henry and Otto
carried the ball on a march from mid
field on straight line bucks and short
end runs. With the ball on the ten
ward line, Otto hit centre for the ne
cessarv distance. Henry failed tc
make the extra point. Again in the
fourth quarter, by series OF bril-
liant thrusts through the visiting line
often for long gains, the pigskin was
carried far down into Camp Vail's
territory, this time Madore making
the touchdown on a wide end run.
Camp Wallis only score came as thu
result of sensational forward pass
Mack to Portney, which gained sixty
five yards and placed the visitor
within easy scoring distance. The

NEWARK HIGH
CONTINUES ITS
WINNING STREAK
Dover High Falls Victim to
70 @ Defeat. Visitor
Defense Crumbles
BIG CROWD AT GAME

Dover High proved a most worthy
opponent for Newark's fast flying
gridiron warriors last Friday after
noon in three of the four periods, but
in the last session of twelve minutes
they were routed and tasted the bit
ter cup of defeat, 26-O.
The remarkable fight put up by the
Down-State boys in the first half was
a source of great surprise to Newark
rooters. Keeping in mind the $40
setback handed Dover earlier in the
season, they were all set for another
walkaway. But Dover absolutely re-
fused to be the party of the second
part and they played a desperate
fighting game. The only score in this
half came when c. Hopkins broke
away on an end run and aided by
clever interference in taking out the
secondary defense, he crossed the line
after thirty-yard sprint. This break
raised Newark's morale considerably,
and they went right after the Capital
City team tooth and nail
AS the game went on both teams
evidently felt the result of lack of
practice. Newark's plays in particular
were ragged in spots, while Dover
seemed content to stay on the de-
fensive.
In the final quarter, Newark for
the first time opened up her forward
pass attack and scored twice. Two
other attempts failed because of the
inability of the receiving ends to
cling to the oval. The other touch
down was scored on a dive off-tackle
by M. Hopkins.
In the first half Dover was on even
terms with her opponents in the mat
ter of first downs, but gradually
weakened as the game went on. The
battle was clean and hard fought and
provided ample entertainment for the
large crowd of fans. Few penalties
were inflicted.
Ihe all round playing OF Maloney
Dover's little right end, was one OF
| the bright spots in the fracas. This
boy will bear watching. Hayes, Tea
and Hammond also distinguished
themselves. For Newark, the whole
backfeld played stellar variety Of
ball, at all times, however, showing
plainly their lack Of practice. Th'
two weeks layoff in the middle Of tn,
season seemed to dull their attack ant
slow the whole team up.
The locals now hold a clear title t.
the championship of the upper par
of the State and it looks from a dis
tance that Laurel will have to b.
beaten for the big banner. The lineup
