BATHING IMPORTANT
TO HEALTH

Babies should be bathed daily, and
the time regulated by the time of
feeding and airing. Morning is best
for the bath but it may be given in
the evening. Babies should not be
bathed too soon after a feeding, or
too soon before going out in the air.
Until the navel is healed sponge baths
should be given, after that the tub
bath. The temperature of the water
for the first month should be o5 to 100
degrees Fahrenheit, gradually reduced
to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, at the end
of the first year. A bath thermometer
is recommended.
The ears and nostrils should be
cleansed gently with pledget of cot-
ton. The. mucous membrane of an
infants mouth is so delicate that the
least friction may cause an abrasion,
and leave an opening for infection. It
is therefore suggested that the mother
keep dirt away from the baby's mouth
so that it will not be necessary to
cleanse it.
After the sixth month the child's
mouth may be cleansed with a soft
cloth, using no force, and when the
teeth appear, gentle cleansing with a
soft brusils may be allowed. AS soon
as the child is old enough to learn, the
habit of cleansing the teeth should be
taught him.
BATHS
The Soda bath is of some service
in cases of prickly heat, from which
many children suffer during the sum-
mer. A tablespoonful Of bicarbonate
of soda should be added to each half
gallon of water used. The temperature
of the water should be that to which
the child is accustomed. From two to
four minutes in the water sufices.
There should be little or no friction
of the skin. The child should be dried
with soft towels.
Bran Bath--Fill loosely with bran, a
bag of thin material six inches square.
Soak bag in bath water and Squeeze
frequently until water becomes milky.
Useful in prickly heat.

CORNELL ELIMINATES
SPORT DISTINCTIONS
BY LAWRENCE PERRY,

Minor sports as such no longer
exist at Cornell. They have been
merged with the major sports organ
ization and hereafter there will be no
distinctions between sports at the
Ithaca university as to their being
of major or minor importance.
Investigation of this action, how
ever, brings to light the fact that
it will not produce a change in the
sports themselves unless, indeed.
some transformation in the relative
status deveAppes among the students.
There Is a great deal in a name, and
in course of time the very absence
of the minor designation may affect
the undergraduate estimate of some
of the sports formerly so classed.
Nonetheless, the change at Cornell
is essentially a fiscal one. What will
happen later remains to be seen. For
that matter what assurance is there
at any university that the four sports
now regarded as major, viz, foot ball,
crew, track and base ball, will al
ways occupy chief place in the under
fact. basket ball. hockey, lacrosse.
soccer are variously classed as of
major importance at various insti-
tutions.
It would seem that interest on the
part of students, alumni and the pub
lie are chiefly. if not solely, inf1uen-
tial in defining in sport as of major
or minor Importance.
Cornell would take another step
forward now were she to hold that
the student who wins position upon
titled to the varsity letter. Thus at
one stroke would be done away
lot of hocus pocus and unjust and
indefensible standards.

achievement there was not so great

In the meantime j had learned a

A lot of good shot makers score

can be wiped out just as easily as it
can be gained. There is no profit in
quitting or becoming discourag ged
when a few strokes behind. The
breaks in golf make the game uncer-
tain at all times, as the best players
will tell you. Many a golfer will ap-
parently have a match ciached, only
to lose 1t by little unsteady play or
a streak of hard luck.
AS a rule, however, I am not a be-
liever in good and bad luck. l have
always found that the good player
usually makes his own breaks, and if
your opponent appears TO have the
best of the breaks in the early part
of the match there is no reason to
suppose that the luck will not be

AS look back on my many cham

where the policy of never conceding
victory to your opponent until he
has won 1t is the only wise plan to
pursue. In medal play there is al
ways considerable uncertainty. and a
lead of six strokes, even In the last
round, is often not enough of a mar
gin. Leaders always find a pace hard
TO keep. 1 have won most of my
championships by coming up from be-

never am much interested to
know the score others are making
in a tournament unless 1t is on the
last nine holes: then<I can gauge
my play accordingly. One needs to
know then whether to go after the
long puts or to play safe. Safe play,
any place but on the putting green,
is often very unwfSe. This may
sound rather unorthodox, but it is
true. l have seen many a match, ap-
parently lost, pulled out of the fire
by streak of audacious playing.
Some unusual golf feats have been
performed through this willingness to
take chance.

Mcleod has had an extremely in

game when Aleck Smith, Gil Nichols,
Willie Anderson and Tom Mcnamara
were in the limelight. These players
have faded out of the competitive pic
ture, although the well known Aleck
has managed to keep his hand in the
game as professional and Nc
Namara as a golf salesman.
Never a hard hitter. Mcleod never

ton through unusual ability in play

light hitters seeking the secret of
success in golf. Mcleod is still one
of the greatest iron players in the

VENABLE STADIUM
HAS GOOD GRIDIRON
BY WALTER CAMP.

Venable stadium, Baltimore, which
the Navy has picked up as the scene
ofShe Army-Navy game next Novem-
Der, is to be brought up to a seating
capacity of $4,000.
The stadium is a fine structure, and
when the additional seating capacity
has been supplied. will provide a
good enclosure for the service classic.
It has a fiatter and more dish shaped
character than any Of the other
stadiums, and on that account the run
back from the field of play is greater.
However. the writer has tested 1T
from the back rows as they are at
present, and found that the added
distance did not seriously impair
vision.
The soil is underlain by a reddish
clay, and in case of continued wet
weather would take a lot OF attention,
but could be kept in shape by careful
treatment.
