Punishment May Help


The punishment OF Ba be Ruth for his
double outbreak at Cleveland may help
the Yankees a great deal. II any pun
ishment can convince Ruth that II Is
time he settled down and attended 10
business 1t Will help tho team. He has
not been doing any good for the Yam.
KEGS this season, and his displays o.
temper and his resentment OF the treat
ment accorded him by the fans indl-
cate that his days as a great star arc
mum bered unless he makes quick
change.
Ruth seems to have been spoiled by
the adulation OF the fans and tho ridi-
culous press agenting. There is no
doubt that the criticism heaped upon
him has been severe and In some ways
unjust, but 1t was not half as bad in
proportion as has been the ridiculous
and unjust praise heaped upon him.
The idea that Babe is bad man.
is entirely erroneous. He is just a
spoiled boy who has lost his temper
and wants to kick his playthings around
The danger is that 1t may become cronic
in which case he Is ruined as Tar as
ba seball goes. He has lot OF sense;
hope too much sense to let this wreck
his career. II he drops the idea he Is
bigger than the game, settles down TO
hit as no can hit when not swinging
for home runs, he'll help that team a
lot anyhow Perhaps the officials OF
baseball may accomplish what the man
agement of the Yankees never have
been able to do, and that Is to get team
work and obedience to discipline.
The LESSON lies in Ruth's batting av-
erage and the record Of games won and
lost. All New York walled when Ruth
and Meusel were suspended and declar-
cd Judge Lands had wrecked the hopes
Of the team. Then. without these two,
tho Yankees stepped out and played tho
best ball they have shown In years.
showed moro hustle and more speed. and
won. They were far out In front when
the two came back-and for time tho
effect was bad. then good. and then the
slump came. With Ruth out again. Tho
team won, and with him back lost.
Hurts Teams Standing.
The truth Is that Ruth's swinging for
home runs In his effort TO catch up
with his individual record hurt both his
own average and the standing OF tho
team. The reaction to all tho press
agentry has set in.
1t Is bit discouraging for q dub
golfer to read about the performances
of the pros in the British open From
the scores we get some idea OF tho
deadly accuracy and tho consistency Or
their play. Imagine the feelings OF a
dub who sees that IN one qualifying
round Jim Barnes took but one putt on
ten OF the frst fourteen holes and that
Itirkwood in eighteen holes never took
moro than two puts to the green on
seventeen.
Such golf shows the deadly accuracy
OF these men and the high state OF per-
lection Of play. Also It makes II victory
IN such a tournament fall to tho one
who gets few breaks OF luck, and
shows that any ono OF the first dozen
might win with the breaks.

More than a million of the pamphlets

More than a million Of the pamphlets
will be distributed nationally.
The association asserts that more
women between the ages of Is and
45 die from causes incident to ma
ternity than from any other cause
except tuberculosis. DR.. Haven EN-
erson, of the associations advisory
board estimates that only one woman
out of II in the United States re-
ceives the benefit of modern medical
and nursing science at childbirth.
The result, 1t is said, is that moro
than 10000 women lose their lives
during childbirth each year moro than
100000 habies arg born dead and
more than 100000 die under the age
of one month.
Tho association hopes to convince
expectant mothers that prenatal care
is needed, and lead them to present
their cases to local nursing and pub
lie health organizations and receive
personal advice and direction.

Flower Bedeckeds House
Boats are Disappearing

London, July 9,--The flower be-
decked houseboats which American
visitors to Hampton Court, Henley
and other places on the Thames were
wont to admire are fast disappearing
from tho river.
The motor launch with a cabin
capable of sleeping from two to four
persons is taking It's place. In rest
less age the houseboat has been found
too restful. 1t is going the way of
other Victorian ideas.
Twenty years ago one Chertsey
firm used to build ID new houseboats
every year. Last year they built one.
The demand now is for something
that will move. Over 1000 motor
launches are now running in the
Thames Conservancy area alone.

American Legion to
Meet in New Orleans

New Orleans, July 8.-When the
tumult and shouting died away and
the American Legion hosts prepared
to leave Kansas City, following the
national convention there last fall, the
general feeling was that there would
never be another convention of sim
liar magnitude and general good
times.
Faced by the necessity Of living up
to the high mark established by Kan
sas City, the 1922 convention commit

Of this activity is the formation of a.
program for entertainment of the
100000 visitors expected, which will,
eclipse in originality and spontaneity

The plan of action for New Orleans
convention authorities has been to
provide certain types of amusement to
satisfy the various tastes of visitors.
Each man will be able to take ad-

May Enable
Deaf to Hear

London, July 9.--Wireless, with all
the manifold benefits already to It's
credit may enable the deaf to hear,
thinks a writer In the current number
of. the Medical Press. If recent ex-
periments with wireless telephony
come up to expectation, he declares,
then there is little need for the deaf
to- give up hope, for by means of
"thermionic" valves the very deaf
have been enabled to hear.
The author records the case of a
man Of 30 who had been deaf for
many years, so deaf that he could
only hear the. shouted voice. Never
theless he experimented with wireless
telephony. 1t occurred to him that
by increasing the number Of ther-
mionic valves in his receiver he naight

New York, July 9.-The high death
