The death OF Dean Earl j. Babcock, state uni

his experiments in Ignite coal and North Dakota
clay, recalls THIS educators great contribution to
the development Of the states mineral resources
Dean Babcock became connected with the Uni
versity OF North Dakota in 1897. He taught at the
Grand Forks institution for sc years. In 1916 he
became dean of the engineering department. Dur
ing 1918 he served temporary president of
the state institution
1t may be said that the rapid development of the
states Ignite coal industry accompanied by quantity
production OF fuel at low cost, owes most to Dean
Babcock.
In addition TO his outstanding work in ignite,
Dean Babcock. through his experiments in Hebron
clay. demonstrated that North Dakota clay has
properties for manufacture of pottery unequa led
anywhere in the United States. His work early at
tracted the attention OF the federal department of
mines which in the last decade relied researches
OF Dean Babcock for data on utilization of North
Dakota fuel in northwest industry.
From the standpoint of mineralogy as we'll as
economics Dean Babcock's work is of the utmos;
Importance to North Dakota and the nation. This
fact is shown in the interest displayed by govern

throughout the nation in Dean Babcock's expert

The fact that his work is better known tt

Three recent examples illustrate.
When the Box prize OF 100000 for

and thousands did. The papers had
no names. but when the envelope OF

foundation and editor Of the League

known specialist on the subject was
to be assigned the job.
Then came the prize for an edu-
cational plan for training for peace.
The winners envelope contained the
name Of David Starr Jordan, who
for years had been the most eminent
educator in the world. specializing in
precisely this subject.
And finally the $4,000 prize Of
"Liberty' for the best plot and seem
ario suitable for publication in story

The prize went to Fannie Hurst,
surely one Of the first half-dozen. if
not the very first, who would have
occurred to any magazine editor as

Next to lack of food, great fatigue
is probably the most potent predls-
posing factor in tuberculosis.
Exhaustion may be produced by
long hours Of heavy work and also
by lack of sleep and worry, long
hours of study, in fact any excess
sive or prolonged eXertion.
Even outdoor sports, winter or
summer. which are certainly to be
encouraged. may defeat their chief
end if INDUCED in to an immoderate
degree or to the exclusion Of proper
resting periods.
Child labor, whether in factory or
home. with excessively long work
ing hours, occupations of the type
that cannot be interrupted for Sun
day rest or which tempt or drive
by piece-work TO excessive efforts or
speeding up" all tend to weaken
resistance and predispose to illness
including tuberculosis.
Bad air or lack Of proper ventila-
ton may also act as "A predisposing
cause Of this disease.
The air Of poorly ventilated rooms
is bad. Not only in. factory and
workshop and in ovcrheated, poorly
ventilated places of amusement, but
also all too frenquently in his own
home the ordinary individual lacks
good air. When air is breathed and
rebreathed it becomes laden with
poisonous materials.
Ventilation Is Very Important
Anyone who lives long in vitiatcd
air grows pale. loses appetite, takes
cold easily and becomes tired from,
slight eXcrtion.
When we remember that many ba-
bies, most children and practically
all grown-ups are infected with tu-
bercle bacilli and when we know the
fatal effects of close confinement
the need for proper ventilation be-
comes apparent.
Air flows, in very much the same
way. as does water. To renew itself
in a room, air should have an inlet
and an outlet.
A room must be flushed with flow.

putting the team so far out in front
in the Pacific Coast League race that
it is no longer worthy of being called

The San Francisco owners do not
know whether they are being punished
because they sided with President Nc
Carthy of their league in his row with
Commissioner Lands, or whether
there is a tacit boycott on against
them because the club insists on being
paid full measure for any players it
may have to put on the market.
Paul Waner. the heavy-hitting Ok
lahoma kid, is the player on the team
who probably will be in most demand
if there is any. He has been kept
in San Francisco so long that he has
become we'll seasoned and he is ready
now for the big show. He can bat the
ball more handily than any California
player who has been on the market

There are two good pitchers on the

The home-run sluggers in the ma jOr

days over 2 months old. 1t isn't safe
to pass ball park any more with the

taking chances with their lives these
days, and a pitcher never knows when
a game is safe.
