BODY Attack WINS
FOR DANNY KRAMER
Bobby Burman Is Handed

Kramer slam banged Burman plenty
in the lattcr's first wind-up. when they
went through eight rounds ut the Olym-

opinion of every one there that Bobby
''ain't got it"---as they say in South
Philly these days.
If Burman went into the ring bent
on doing some socking, he had most OF
It taken out Of him in the very first.
Reason: A lot Of hcfty wallops by
Kramer to the body. Danny dealt out u
vicious maliling to the mid section right
off the reel and continued to hand out
the sane medicine in each and every
round.

This was n return match: in their
previous meeting. Burman having put
on sensational tilt, SO much so that
they were brought together again. and
n big crowd turned out for the muss.
But the fans were disappointed because
the bout was not so good.
Burman made the mistake Of per-
mitting Kramer to do all of tho leading.
Once in while Bobby flared up. but his
attempts were feeble. Danny's punches
to the body made his opponent clinch
often, and this caused the bout to slow
UP.
In the latter rounds Kramer shifted

CHILDREN'S GROWTH
By H. Addington Bruce

~ HILDREN, a Boston physician has dis
covered, have growing seasons even as
~ do plants. In September, October No
vember and December they grow most rapid
ly. From February to June they grow scarce
ly at all.
has been making an intensive study of 5000
Boston school children, also finds that as be-
tween height and weight the former is Of the
greater Importance.
"If you get the inches the pounds will
take care of themselves he is quoted as
stating in recent address to the Massachu-
sets Medical Society. "And it is important
to get the inches, because the tall have the
best chances in life"
OF course, in many cases there are consti-
tutional tendencies seriously limiting the
growth of individuals, as regards both height
and weight. And medical science, advanced
though it is in many respects, can hardly be
said 10 have worked out any formula for in
Surfing tallness.
But it does offer to parents many helpful
hints looking to an increase in the height and
weight of their offspring. Avoidance both
of over-eXercise and of under-exercise, the
taking of sufficient rest provision for an
adequate supply of fresh air indoors, care
full selection of the diet so as to include a
vitamin sufficiency-all these precautions
applied in the rearing OF children count for
much in promoting their growth.
1t is because they rcunt for much that chill
dren of the well-tozdo are usually taller and
heavier than children of the poor. Yet even
the poor can do good deal for their chill
dren's growth by giving thought to hygfenic
principles which it is within their power to
apply.
When these principles are applied the de-
sired effects may pretty confidently be looked
for. Though, it is important to add, they will
not be obtained in similar degree for chill
dren at different ages. Which brings us to
another interesting point in connection with
children's growth.
The rate of growth varies not only &C
cording to the time Of year, as pointed out by
Dr. Porter, but also according to the age and
sex. This has been established by numerous
Investigations, definitely going to show:
That while boys as rule grow more rapid
ly than girls up to the age of 8, and are
likely to be both taller and heavier than girls
up to the age of II, the situation thereafter
changes for a few years.
That from II to IA, the average height Of
girls is greater than, that Of boys, and from
IL to IA the average weight is likewise
greater in the case of girls.
That at Is the weight-height index
weight per inch of height) is about the same
for both boys and girls. And that for the re-
mainder of the growing period, as for the
ages up to IL, it usually is greater for boys
than for girls.
knowledge of such facts is obviously Of
more than theoretical Importance. It is, or
should be, of practical value to parents prop
erly solicitous for the physical development
Of their little ones.

MIRACLES

Woman, in bed fifteen years, will walk
again" So ran recent headline, not un-
like many others that appear from time to
time. Another case of faith healing, we sup
posed, before reading the article itself But
1t turned out that this particular young
woman had been cured Of an almost hope
less case CT spinal trouble by delicate opera
ton performed by skilled physician. A.
miracle it would have been acclaimed had it
been the work of a faith healer. And a
miracle no less it is-d miracle of work, Of
skill, of patience, and of faith too It is the
sort of miracle that happens so frequently in
these wonder days sicence that we often
forget to be sufficiently thankful for them.
And just as truly as if the change in the pa
t1ent had been wrought by professed faith
healer, this cure by science is also the work
of God and the answer to prayer. There
are many kinds Of prayers, and there is no
better, truer kind than honest, skilled effort
At least that is the kind of prayer that ID
answered most frequently and most fully.
And SO it Is most Of the miracles of these lat
ter days are revealed to us through the I'M

world, the sons of Martha.-The Ohio State
