MATERIAL FACTOR
YALE FENCING WIN

The recent win of the Yale fencing
team over Harvard, and the more re-
cent winning of the National Senior
Epee Team Title at New York by
the Yale fencers Is of particular in
terest to people Of this city because
of the fact that one of the members
of the fencing team representing
Yale is an Augusta boy. H. II.

ton with many of the most expert
fencers in the East, including some
of the Olympic fencers, carried off
the large silver cup, valued at $1,000,
which will be kept by the college for
a year. Yale was the only college
team competing and is the first col
lege to win this event. Brown and
Bolton each won six out of nine bouts
while Mengel won four out of nine.
Each contestant also received q
more dear to them, the minor "Y"

The boys did not plan to enter this
match, until Monday afternoon and
then prevailed upon their coach.

In the Yale Harvard match, Har-

testants to bring Yale through for
a win. This was accomplished
handily, when Brown Won both of his
bouts, and his team mate won one
and lost one. Sabers were not used
in this match.

THE GROWING BOY

NOBODY needs understanding more
than the growing boy. The workings
of a boys mind are a constant enigma
to some mothers. Boys do so many
things that seem inexplicable, some.
times cruel, sometimes merely absurd
things that try a busy mothers pa
tience and lead to impotence on her
part which any child will make every
effort to resist.
The best way to guide your boy IL
to encourage his normal interest IN
healthy outdoor things.
Give him health, mental and phys
ical health, throughout the formative
years of his life and you will do him
the greatest possible service. For
without health, the average child will
never grow into the successful man.
Hold up to him the ideal OF health
and enlist his interest through an ap.
peal to his ambition. The instinct,
the desire to be a leader is born in
him. With your help HE CAN BE
A LEADER in play, in sports, IN
school.
1t is possible to safeguard the child's
health without. talking about his ills
to him. 1t is extremely bad for any
child to be allowed to dwell on his
physical defects-rather, concentrate
his effort and interest on things that
will make him strong and athletic and
enable him to enjoy his boyhood to the
fullest.
For example, encourage him TO fol-
low the health rules given below.
They are recommended by the Child
Health Organization. They are SIM
pie, fundamental rules not at all diff
cult to observe no matter what your
circumstances may be. With these
rules and correct food, any child
should gain in health and spirits. The
height and weight of your child is a
good index of his health. Just as the
great football star watches his weight,
eats certain food, and lives according to
the health laws in order to train him.
self for the gridiron battle, so each
boy can train himself for the battle
of life.
These suggestions apply to girls as
we'll as boys.
Below are the eight Health Kules
as published by the Child Health Or
ganization of America:
HEALTH RULES
l.. A full bath more than once a
week.
2. Brushing the teeth at least once
every day.
8. Sleeping, long hours with win.
dows open.
4. Drinking Is much milk As pos.

5. Eating some vegetables or fruit

INTERRUPTED
Injunction Against Commits
Sioners Granted by Court.

Prospects for immediate building of
a new colored orphans home faded
today as Superior Judge Clinton H.
Givan sustained a temporary injunc-
ton ~forbidding county commissioners
to sign a contract for the home. The
building has been periodically inter
rupted for two years.
Judge Givan overruled a demurrer.
He held that county officials can be en-
Joined from entering into an Illegal
contract, or letting a contract on
specification other than those adver-
tised or to exceed their appropriation.
The commissioners allotted $40, 900 to
build the home. 1t had planned to
award contracts totaling $143, 600. The
suit was brought by RoberrR Roach.
SO n. De Quincy St, said to have
been connected with the contracting
firm of George A. Weaver & Son, un-
successful bidders.
The commissioners had announced
that the State Construction Company
would get the contract. They planned
to change the specifications slightly
from the advertised form, to reduce
cost.
