justifies this latest Carson biogra-

But he has exploded many of the old
legends and in their place substituted
either the facts, or theories which can
be accepted as logical and reasonable.
For instance, Carson has been
painted as a man with vision of the
vast empire of the West which he was
to help open up. This new picture of
Carson shows him as an empire build

His manner of dying was as simple

Stunning in the spotlight thrust upon
him, Tom Heeney, New Zealand's gift
to the heavyweight division, has set
tied down to training for his title
joust with Gene Tunney in July.
Today as the accepted challenger
for the heavyweight crown, modest
fortune already to his credit, and a
greater one ahead, Tom was just as
modest about his fighting ability as
when he first came over here in the
hope of earning few dollars fighting
second raters. He didn't think then
that he was of title caliber. Tom still
has no exalted opinion of his ability,
"just a plugger," he says.
"But can't see why l haven't an
even chance to whip Tunney," the
New Zealander declared. 'I'm just
as strong and tough as he is. Gene is
no superman and We'll just be fighters
in there on rather even ground when

training camp outdoors. Atlantic City
probably will be chosen as the site for

Heeney has feeling that he trains

work to a minimum as far as possible.

Greatest Natural Lover
of Children in Sports

Rud Rennie, New York baseball
writer, describes Babe Ruth as the
greatest natural lover of children in
sportdom."
An instance of how Ruth's sympa-
thies were aroused by children who
through illness were never able to get
to a ball game, was a visit the Babe
paid to a bed-ridden boy in Birming-
ham this spring. The father of the
boy, shabbily dressed, accosted Ruth
near the local park and told him how
much his son admired the Babe. Aft
er the game, Ruth went out to see the
boy, autographed baseballs for him
and cheered him up with a lengthy
stay.

Protecting Investors

Though differing slightly in some of
the states, the blue-sky laws are much
alike in their essential features. They
are designed to regulate the sale Of
stocks, bonds and other securities, but
in practice their application has been
extended to wide range of invest
ment enterprises. The law usually
contains penal clause prescribing
penalty for fraud in the sale or ne
gotiation of securities and vests in
certain officer or body the power to
investigate all transactions of this
kind.

Few Baseball Managers
Develop Pitching Stats

1t is a matter of baseball record
that few managers have ever been
able to develop good hitting and field
ing teams along with capable pitch
ing STATS, writes Fl. G. Salsinger, in
the Detroit News.
John ]. McGraw always has teams
that can hit and field but the Giants
are always weak in the box, even
when the pitching staff is loaded with
men who were seasoned stars before
they came under the McGraw leader
ship.
Hughie Jennings had the same hard
luck with pitchers that McGraw has
always had.
Wilbert Robinson OF the Brooklyn
Dodgers is the best manager in the
country when it comes to pitchers. No
man can make a staff go further or
do more with recruit material. But
Robinson is weak in batting and field
ing.

How Much Water,
Should Baby Gct!I
"A Famous Authoritys Rule
by Ruth Britain
by Ruth Britain,

Baby specialists agree nowadays,
that during the first six months, babies
must have three ounces of fluid per
pound of body weight daily. An eight
pound baby, for instance, needs twen-
ty-fOur ounces of fluid. Later on the
rule is two ounces Of fluid per pound
of body weight. The amount of fluid
absorbed by breast-fed baby is best
determined by weighing him before
and after feeding for the whole day;
and it is easily calculated for the bot
tle-fed one. Then make up any de-
fciency with water.
Giving baby sufficient water often
relieves his feverish, crying, upset and
restless spells. If it doesn't, give him
few drops of FIetcher's Castoria.
For these and other ills of babies and
children such as collie, cholera, diar-
rhea, gas on stomach and bowels, con-
stipation, sour stomach, loss of sleep,
underweight, ETC., leading physicians
say there's nothing so effective. It is
purely vegetable-the recipe is on the
wrapper-and millions of mothers
have depended on it in over thirty
years of ever increasing use. It regu-
lates baby's bowels, makes him sleep
and eat right, enables him to get full
nourishment from his food, so he in

the package so you'll be sure to get
the genuine. The forty-cent bottles

Undaunted by Babe Ruth's failure
as a gentleman farmer, Rogers Horns
by said recently he had purchased an
S5-acre country estate near st. Louis
and planned to till the property in
refined manner during the off season.
Hornsby said he paid $4,000 for the
property, on which he hopes to raise
fine FLOODED cattle in addition to the
usual crops of the gentleman farmer.
The Braves star was warned of
Babe Ruth's unsuccessful efforts on
his farm at Sudbury, which he recent
ly sold. 1t was also pointed out to
Hornsby that the first season after the
Babe took up farming his batting av-
erage and home-run total slumped
