and the need OF mouth-Washing
and an albuminous meal before
starting work. They advise the
i workers to take laxative medicine,
such as EPSON salts, once or
twice q week.
The real trouble Is said to be
that factories do not provide
proper facilities for carrying out
these 7. recommendations. The
younger workers have seen much
better washing facilities in the
local education authorities schools
Instead. of modern hand basins
there is usually a square deep
sink with a single faucet tap:
hot water Is limited and soap,
nail-brush and towel are probably
dirty, useless or absent.
The consequence is that EN-
ployes do not or cannot wash
properly. The working foreman
often has a bottle Of EPSON
= salts, to which he adds q variable
quantity from time to time, and
one glass, which is kept in the
working office and never cleaned.
These deplorable conditions in. re-
calcitrant factories defeat the
wisest regulation.
It isN obviously necessary that
the thoroughly efficient execution
of these recommendations should
be made compulsory and placed
under the management OF one of
the executive staff, which, in
turn, should be under he con-
troll OF local health authorities.
At a specified time-before the
cessation of work for meals or at
the end Of the day-the men
should assemble and wash under
the eyes of an officer from the
administrative department, who
would insure that everything was
ready for them. i

NEW YORK, June 9.-Ge0rge
HI Ffiian Ruth, called Babe" by
his admirers, may well thank Ty
Cobb and the Detroit Tigers for
being part of the American
League.
Five years ago, just about this
time, Hamnering Herman made
known b the baseball world that
he was aiming all shots at the far
fences that a new home run record
might be established. There were
skeptics but most of them were
converted after that first series
in Detroit.
On June II, he found Middle
ton for a four base blow and the
next day he Strengthened out an
offering OF Sutherland's. But the
great burst OF speed was TO come.
Howard Ehmke, then a Tiger Of
renown, did mound duty for Cobb
on June 13 and suffered two
home run knocks at the hands of
the new champion, end the same
fate befell George Mausa the next
afternoon.
Yesterday Ruth once again
opened up on the Detroit hurlers,
for this year he seeks another
record and the two homers he
tore from the service of Stoner
and Holloway placed him six days
ahead Of his 1921 effort.
In the season that he registered
90 circuit punches, Ruth had
seven double" days, four Of
them on western fields.

NEW YORK, June "a rush

liberal use of his famed left hand,
is the method best suited to Paul
Berlehbach's defense of his light
heavyweight boxing tile against
Young Stribling of Atlanta, Ga,
at the Yankee Stadium tomorrow
night, in the opinion of boxing fol-
lowers.
Stribling is a capable mixer, yet
ne is not regarded as one to force
the fighting, and many decisions
have been awarded to aggressive
ness In New York state. Berlen-
bach's friends are confident that
his old policy of attacking, even
against odds, will come to him in
his hour of need.
AS the time for the 15-rOund
battle approaches, it appears that
the men will enter the ring on
even terms: Both report them
selves fit and have ended their
strenuous training.
