SHANGHAI, March ga
frenzied Chinese mob, assisted
by Cantonese soldiery, today
invaded the British church
hospital at Ningpo and at
tempted to carry off the mis-
sionaries and nurses, among
whom were several Americans.
The nurses and missionaries
eventually reached the water
front and escaped, but only
after they had been subjected
to the most vile insults.
Severe anti-British agitation
continues at Ningpo and in all the
towns along the upper Yangtse
River.
All the battle fronts were quiet
today 1t is reported from Anhui
that Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, war
lord of the north, has made over
lures to the Cantonese looking to
suspension of hostilities.
The Nationalists are marking
time along the battle fronts while
their agents are stirring up trouble
behind the northerners' lines.
They succeeded in causing a
thousand railroad employees along
the Marking line and in the Woo
sung and Shanghai work shops to
strike in an attempt to cripple
transportation facilities for the
Shangtung forces.

ANN ARBoR. Mich, March 3d.
Three persons injured was the toll
today OF q free-for-an battle be-
tween police and 500 University OF
Michigan students.
Police duelled the riot with tear
gas after four drives had been
made on the doors Of the Majestic
and Arcade Theaters.
The injured:
John BlakeIy, Rockford. Ill. =
Marvin slater. Ann Arbor. q
graduate Of the university.
Victor Westerman. resident OF
Ann Arbor.
The outbreak followed the Michi-
gan-IoWa basketball game which
Michigan won, thereby giving It the
undisputed claim to the Big Ten
championship.
The students first surged up the
street to the Arcade Theater. Sing
ing, yelling, hooting, they rushed
toward the entrance but were turned
back, as the management had a
Gordon of police waiting for the at
tack. The Majestic Theater then
was selected as the next objective.
There the students were met by a
force Of policemen armed with tear
gas.
The students hurled bricks, eggs,
sticks and all available objects but
the tear bombs proved too effective
and another retreat took place.
Again they returned to the Arcade.
This attack was dispeIled without
much effort. Finally, a few students
made another assault on the Ma
jestic but their efforts to gain en-
trance were frustrated.

VoUNG Mrs. Stanton. with her
4 baby, came to her parents
home recently for a visit.
1t is the baby's second summer
and he Is cutting teeth, as Is to
be expected.
However. he has not had very
much trouble while teething for
the reason that his mother has
followed to the letter the instruc-
lions from her physician regard
ing the child's food. his sleeping,
his clothing and his baths.
But at grandma's house the
young mother had a hard time
preserving the baby's health hab-
it's. Grandmother. grandfather,
an uncle and two very young
aunties all insisted upon making
life joyous for the adored new.
conner. rt
When the family gathered on
the back porch and cut a big, red
watermelon. the baby stood on
tiptoe and reached out both hands
for a piece of the melon.
No. You can't have THAR ex-
claimed the mother. hurrying him
away from temptation.
"Oh. daughter. let him taste
It," protested grandfather. "Why,
you were raised on watermelon,
and it never hurt you. Here,
sonny. grandpa will give you a
bite"
And with that he dug out
bit of the red heart and laughed
while the baby crammed it into
his little mouth.
Late that afternoon a small
cousin came in with sack of
candy in his hand. He stood eat
Ing the candy. while the baby
gazed in admiration and longing
ppon the long stick of red and
white sweetness. Then he asked
with his eyes, his hands, and his
whole. eager. little person for
portion of that candy.
He simply must not eat
candy" his mother announced.
How silly" answered grand
mother. THE child is IS months
old. A bit of candy won't hurt

There Is something in human

have in so far as he is able.
He would rather go through

And without further ado she

and placed it in the baby's hand.
sit down now and eat your
candy" she said. kissing the top
of his curly head.
And so the days passed. The
young mother fighting for the
health of her baby. The rest of
the family laughing at her, scott.
ing at her new.fansled notions,
overriding her decisions and in
dulging the child in little ways
that gave him pleasure for the
time being.
Before the first week Of their
visit was over the baby was fretN
full and i'll. His stomach was upset
and that haggard look that sick
babies so quickly acquire came
into his face.
Il begged you not to feed him."
argued the young mother.
"Oh, honey, it wasn't what he
ate that made him sick. He is
cutting his eye teeth. and children
are always sick them" grand
mother consoled.
But grandmother was wrong;
and any doctor will tell her that
she is wrong. Hundreds of babies
are made i'll every summer by
having the wrong diet. The hot
weather is enough to upset them.
Besides that, most young couples
take their vacation during the
summer and the travel further
disturbs the baby's digestion. Add
to that the interfering ways of
home folks and the baby hasn't a
chance to escape without a spell
of Illness.
OF course, he Is more likely to
have stomach trouble at teething
time than at other times; and that
is why extra care should be given
his diet then.
1t is all wrong for outsiders to
interfere with a young mothers
care of her baby, and it usually
results in trouble for the child,
his mother and for the interfering
relatives.

DR. GEORGE A. DORSEY. au.
y thor Of "Why We Behave

R. GEORGE A. DORSEY, au-
~ thor of why We Behave
Like Human Beings" tells in the
September Cosmopolitan why
gamblers Ego broke" and do not
behave as human beings.
"A man of self-control, he
writes, mo matter what The has
lost, is able to keep his wits about
him, is always prepared for any
move, and when he has had
enough he knows it and quits.
That same man, winner or loser,
quits when he is tired or when
he has had enough.
''The man who does not behave
like human being in a gamble
is the man who as boy has not
learned to profit by experience,
and who has not learned to use
his brain to get him out Of diff
culties, but has hung on to his
mothers apron strings or sought
refuge in flight or clustered his
way out like beast.
And so, whiR we are all nat.
ural-born gamblers, we are not
necessarily all good gamblers
when the stake il high or the stu
alton dangerous. We may fail in
the crisis: we may whine and
SWIVEL or run like whipped ours,
or we may buster and brag or
fight like senseless beasts. Or
we may play the game. There
are gamblers and gamblers.
