Base Ball

The first interesting game of base
ball of tfle season in this city took
place on the ball grounds on Satlr-
day. The tilt was between the La
Plats Juveniles and the Lintner Pre-
paratory School teams. The full nine
innings we're played, the score result
ing 10 TO 4 in the favor ofthe'City boys,
The school team made their Drag as
to how they intended doing up their
adversaries, and we're much chagrined
at their defeat. The La Platerites on
the contrary are snickering hugely
over the discontinue of the boosters,
some of the players even going so far
in their glee as to venture suggestion
in the way of friendly advise to their
disappointed friends to cease braging,
or another licking may be in store

CHAPEL POINT PREPARES FOR
EXCURSION BOAT

Early this week the The Lukens
Dredging and Contracting Co., of
Baltimore, began work to open up the
channel in Port Tobacco Creek as far
as Chapel Point, where a new wharf
will be constructed to accommodate an
excursion steamer which will make
trips from Washington to Chapel
Point. They will work day and night
in order to finish the work in three
weeks
The boat which will be used on the
run is CITY of Washington, of the
Wilson Line, of Philadelphia. 1t will
run every day except Tuesday and
will also be used on moonlight trips
down the Potomac.
About thirty years ago Chapel
Point was an excursion point for the
Harry Randall and a number of
our people can remember the crowds
that used to enjoy the water trip.
Manager Wills certainly deserves
credit for his good work in landing
this addition to Chapel Point and we
wish him every success in his new I'M
dertaking.

1.-THE babies of small sized peoples are, quite
naturally, smaller than those of larger races.
Thus japanese babies are at birth much less
in size and weight than American babies. Where

rather curious piece of newly gained knowl-
edge is that it is the skeleton of the child
that does the growing the muscular and other
tissues merely following along, as 1t were.
But is there any means positively known to
science whereby the growth Of . young child

can b. o hastened as to promote its expecta-
ton attaining, as an adult, superior stature?
Perhaps, yes For 1t has recently been as
certained that In certain foods there Is con-
tanned q substance which has a peculiarly
marked effect in encouraging growth. Analysis
has shown that it is an organic compound Of
phosphorus and from 1t is mainly derived the
phosphorus which helps to nourish the brain,
nerves and other tissues. This phosphorus en-
tiers Importantly into the composition of the
bones, going to make phosphate of lime.
This "grow-stuff" is found in cereal and
other seeds wherein 1t is stored by nature to
accelerate the growth Of plants. It is found
wherever baby food" is stored for the use Of
embryo plant or animal. Egg yolks contain an
extraordinary percentage of it.
For long time past dog breeders have made
a practice Of feeding egg yolks In large guam
titles to st. Bernard puppies to make them grow
fast and big. Pups thus reared markedly OUT
grow those fed on other foods and attain much
greater size when fun grown.

Interesting, Neeo Feeding Experiments BY
the Carnegie Institution Stir Speculation in
Possibility That q Child May Att4in q
Stature of Ten and a Half Feet at
the End Of Fifth Year and Con-
tiuue to Groz0 to an E0en More
Enormous Height

According to figures furnished by the United
States Chfldren's Bureau, mothers first baby
is nearly always less in weight than later babies.
Each subsequent baby is heavier at birth than
the preceding one, and, in the average instance,
the fifth weighs about ounces more than
the first one did.
The Children's Bureau favors 7-pound and
S-pound babies, but DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, physical
anthropologist of the Smithsonian Institution,
saws that the 12-pound baby has a better start
in life.
ut is the healthy and well fed mothers that
have the big babies" he says. Hence, IN the
ordinary instance, the 12-pound baby starts
with an exceptionally good physical equipment.
With that advantage and with an inheritance
of health, it is more resistant to disease. Its
prospect Of survival is better.
Nothing can better illustrate the Importance
of feeding In relation to growth, than the in
ferior physique of Slum dwellers. Slum-born
babies at birth are smaller than the offspring
of well-to-do people for the simple reason that
their mothers are not adequately nourished.
Children Of the slums at all ages are smaller
than the children Of more desirable residential
quarters In cities, because they get less food,
and what they do get is not the right kind.
For the same reason, when they become
adults, they are noticeably dwarfed in stature.

those of the well-to-do class The rat-faced
