W. washington ~ ~
Whenever a doctor is called to see
a child with typhoid fever, the
thought Immediately comes to him
that here is a preventable illness In
! which some one has been negligent.
->fNegligent may be the term applied,
in that the parents of this child
, could have, most likely, prevented
this long tiresome, serious illness
that is always inevitable with a case
of typhoid fever.
So many children with typhoid
y fever have complications of all sorts
and kind, with all degrees Of viru-
lence.
Now that the health departments
of our states, counties and cities are
so we'll equipped and organized,
there is no reason why every child
can not be properly immunized
, against one of our most dreaded dis
eases.
The act of preventing typhoid fe-
yer is so simple procedure, SO
harmless in its action, so painless IN
its administration, so lasting in its
affect that all children should be i'm
munized. Really when one stops to
think, is it not rather a serious mis-
take not to have your child protect
ed from so grave a diseases as ty-
phoid fever?
The injections are usually given
one week apart, three injections, as
a rule, conveying immunity from the
disease for three to five years or pos
sibly longer.
Knowing the origin of typhoid fe-
yer, the modes of its transmission,
no child can really be safe from the
disease. When or where can you say
that every drop of water, milk or
food has not become contaminated
with the germs of typhoid fever
The glass of water or milk may have
been perfectly clean from its source
and a fly might have touched the
glass with it's feet, teeming with the
germs of typhoid fever and in Civ
en- time the child will come down
with the disease.
Great strides have been made in
the last ten years towards the con-
troll and eradication of typhoid fever.
Do not forget the school child IN
helping to stamp out and prevent
this disease. Talk to your doctor.
Just because there is no typhoid fe-
yer in your community now, it does
not mean that there never will be
any, and it might be in your family.
A child of school age should be
given the protective treatment, be-
cause, away from home and home
surroundings, the cleanliness can
not always be watched. The food
taken can not be supervised and the
quality of the food might not be the
same as the food the child receives
at home.

MALLARDS MATCHED ON BARN
ROOF

Mallard ducks ordinarily make
their nests on or near the ground,
but the Biological Survey of the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture has a report of mallard nest
ing in box on the roof of barn
in Nebraska. When the young were
ready to venture beyond the nest,
the mother duck quacked softly to
coax them out of the nest. Then she
flew to the ground and the youngs-
ters came tumbling and dropping af-
ter her. A ranchman who observed
the incident reported that the fall
did not seem to injure the young
ducks.
Incidentally this mallard duck was
banded when she first nested in this
box and has returned for two sue
cessive seasons. The young of the
first two broods were also banded,
and reports of captures have come
from widely separated areas of the
West and South, indicating that the
young birds do not remain with
their brothers and sisters long after
leaving the mother bird.

COREY LEADING
HANDICAPPED
Has Lost Four Games Out
Of "a In Elks Cue
Tournament

M. w. Corey is now at the head
of the Elks' handicap billiard tour
nament with a mark of 1853, having
played "a games while losing only
four. Corey is fifth in the straight
tournament.
The lead in the handicap event
has been changing hands with reg
ularity for some time. Leaders
following Corey are Richardson,
Mickle, Reid, Bell and Cobolini.
Reid was considered as having 9
fair shot at the handicap title un-
til recently when he lost a pair at
straight billiards. The grey-haired
veteran is now in fourth place IN
the straight tournament.
The grouping of players in the
straight tournament seems to prove
that the handicap committee knew
what it was about. The three rank
ing players-those who get no han
dicaps-are at the top Of the
straight tournament. These are
Bell, Rowe and Fernandez. Bell, as
has been the case throughout the
tournament, appears almost certain
winner. He has not dropped a
game yet and has played over e
of the Is scheduled.
Rowe also has a perfect mark
but he has played comparatively
few games. In those that he has
played, however, he has shown abil-
ity that might carry him through
to a perfect string of victories. Fer
nandez, in second, has played 13
dropping only two for a mark o;
1913.
Interest is conferred on the Bell
Rowe contest and officials are
planning to stave this event off un-
til the last.

The folks who sometimes wonder
how amateur golf and tennis cam
paignS can be financed on so elab-
crate a scale as is done nowadays,
might focus an eye on the sports OF
yachting and polo.
1t has cost the United States lawn
tennis association close to $4,000 to
finance the international trips OF
the Davis Cup and Wightman cup
teams over the past three years. 1t
takes something like $1,000 to send
a Walker cup golf team abroad.
Yet these items, substantial as
they seem in the name of simon
pure sport, shrink by comparison
with the sports Of kings and mil
~lionaireS.
1t will cost somewhere around
S250.000 altogether to finance the
whole campaign involved by Eng
lands challenge Of the United
States for the historic International
polo cup, to be played at Meadow
Brook, in September, 1880.
1t is costing a New York syndi-
cate of wealthy yachtsmen about
100000 to build a sloop for the de-
Tense Of the equally historic Amer
ica's cup against the challenge OF
Sir Thomas Upton in the series OF
races to be held off these shores
also around September of next year
1t may be assumed that the Irish
baronet himself, will be taxed
something like the same amount to
finance his challenge.
Thus. two Of the most colorful
events in sport. both to be put on
around the same time. will mean an
outlay Of at least a million and a
quarter dollars.
There has been no contest for the
Americas Cup in ten years. or since
1920, because.o of the tremendous eX-
pense involved. Similarly, England
and America. to help spread out the
burden, have an agreement that
challenges for the polo cup can be
filed only every three years.
Seldom, if ever before in Amer
lean polo history has this country
appeared better prepared with young
and brilliant talent with which to
meet the British challenge in 1890.
Any big four" that is made up
Will, Of course, be built around the

THEORETICALLY ~ WdO only the SECOND
game he eve started and finished.
Moss came up to Brooklyn from
Memphis in 1926 to pitch one in
ming for the Dodgers that season.
In 1927 he pitched part of mi game
and received credit for winning it.
Last year he appeared in % games,
n Of them complete, and wound
up with a record of no victories
and three defeats. During the cur
rent campaign he has worked in
many games, received credit for sew
eral victories, but never before sue
ceeded in pitching a complete game.
Chief interest in the National
league struggle centered in Chicago
where the Cubs trounced the Phil
lies, II to 10, and increased their
lead over Pittsburgh to three and a
half games.
The crippled Pirates lost another
game to the Boston Braves, 10 to g..

many times at bat.
The New York Giants crashed II
hits off the delivery Of various
pitchers to swamp the st. Louis

Action in the American league
was confined to the Chicago's 8 to 6
triumph over Philadelphia, thereby
reducing the White Elephants lead
over the New York Yankees to nine
and one-half games.
