FAR
AHEAD Of
OLD MARK
BY BABE RUTH

NEW YORK CITY, July TO-
Baseball'S a funny game. A fel-
low goes out and sets a record
that you think will stand UP for
ever, and almost before he can
turn around some other fellow
comes around and kicks the old
mark into a cooked hat. When I
hit go home runs in 1927 had
an idea that there's one mark
that will stand about as long as
the game does.
Now I've changed my mind.
I've got a sneaking hunch can
lick that old mark myself this
year. Understand I'm making no
predictions. I realize that too
many things can happen to
change the whole look Of things.
But I never felt stronger in my
life than I do this season. and ]
don't think I've ever had better
timing or had my eye on the ball
better than I have this far.
Getting my finger banged
up on that screen last week
was q tough blow for it took
me out of the lineup right at
a time when / was going
good. Just the same I've got
80 hOmerS now and that's as
many as / had In "a ball
games in 1927. So I've still
got q chance to smack that
old mark, and I'll be the hap
piest fellow in the world If I
can do it.
Another mark that I thought
would stand forever was Lou
Gehrig's record for driving in
runs. You remember Lou sent
l73 runs over the plate in 1927

SHOWER BATHS BEST

The best kind Of bath for daily
bathing is the shower. A good meth
Cd is to first spray the body with
warm water, soaping afterwards II
desired, and washing again with cold
water. It is always q good plan to
take some physical culture exercises
just prior to the shower. IS this will
increase the circulation and open the
pores so that they will be better
cleansed with running water.
A short bath is usually more ber1e.
fetal than a prolonged one. After
the bath the skin should be dried Wig.
orously with a coarse towel. I am
convinced that the ordinary tub bath
In which one sits for q long time in
hot water is weakening and devitaliz-
Ing and should not be used except al
q therapeutic application for some
special reason.
The body does not seem to be weak
ened by bathing done in cool or run
ming water. Showers also have the
advantage Of being more sanitary
than tub baths, az the soiled water
runs off the body and a fresh stream
OF waited deScends on the skin. It Is
almost impossible to take too many
shower baths.
During the warm weather 1t is very
refreshing to take q cool shower in
the middle Of the day. If you ike to
use warm water 1t is best to take the
warm shower Just before going to bed,
when 1t acts as a sedative. relaxing
the nervous system.
If you do not have a shower bath
built into your home, you may secure
an attachment at any drugstore for
about a dollar. This may be attached
to any hydrant and serve the pur-
pose Al well as q more expensive
built-in arrangement.
A few years ago bathing was no
doubt too infrequent, and even yet
doctors will occasionally come across
patients who believe it injurious to
health to take a bath every day, but
the common practice among best
citizens is to take n or two baths
daily. Occasionally I come across a
patient with a bathing mania for TAX
ing too many hot tub baths and who
is consequently weakened from the
use of too much water which makes
the tissues flabby, and decreases the
circulation on account Of the relaxing
effect Of the heat upon the blood
vessels.
It is q good plan to take q shower
bath at least once q day to cleanse
the pores Of the sweat which they arc
constantly exuding eve In cold
weather. Then there are outer cells
of the skin which are constantly seal
ing off and being replaced. BY cleans
ing the skin regularly you can i'm
prove its texture.

A ROYAL ASSASSINATION

On June %, 1914, Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, heir apparent to the Aus
TRAN throne, and his wife, the Count

at Serajevo, Bosnia. This event was
the percipitating cause Of the World

Ferdinand had left Vienna June %

Bosnia, as commander-in-chief Of the
Austro- Hungarian armies. On Sun

they narrowly escaped being killed by

One Killed; One Hurt

Amarillo, Tex, June 28.-R-
Mrs. A. D. Payne. wife of a we'll
known Amarillo attorney, was killed
and her 14-year-old son probably
fatally injured today when the Payne
automobile was destroked by what
police believe was an Internal ma
chine.
Bits of wiring and pieces of dry
cell batteries were found by detec-
tives in the wreckage, and they said
they believed either dynamite or
some other powerful explosive had
been placed in the automobile.
Payne had been a candidate for
district judge but recently withdrew.
He had participated as an attorney
in several sensational murder cases
in the Texas panhandle during the
past year.

Reforming Our Prisoners

If an otherwise normal young man in a moment of
forgetfulness loses control of himself, the shorter his
prison sentence the better chance he has for reformation.
This is the belief voiced by Newton D. Baker, former
secretary of war, in a recent address before the Cleve-
land Association for Criminal Justice.
MI. Baker is not advocating adjustment of punish
to be given to cure the illness. Too much may be as
harmful as too little.
In Soviet Russia a man may go to Jail for only 10 years.
The government believes that If he hasn't improved by
the end of that period, prison isn't going to make a man
out of him.
The crowded condition of penal institutions in America
today makes thoughtful people consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of such a course.
A normal young man, and it is of such that Mr.. Baker
was speaking. is usually penitent when the deed is done.
If given encouragement. most of such young men will
resolve to play fair thereafter.
But a man who knows that all his ambition to accom-
plish something must die slowly down the dim corridors
where he waits. is going to become bitter. He will have
no incentive for improvement.
Intimate contact with hardened, seasoned prisoners.
those who have committed outrageous crimes and those
who have q criminal tendency which leads to repeated
wrongdoing, isn't going to benefit the normal, repentant
man. Attitudes are contagious. He won't lift up the
fallen. He'll slide after them.
But If he knows that after he has taken his punishment
manfully he will have another chance, that appealing
reclamation as a useful member Of society.
At least, Mr.. Bakers assertion opens the way for an
interesting field of discussion.

Honoring Parents

Children were told 10 honor their fathers and mothers
back in the days of Abraham and Isaac. Honor some
how became synonymous for obey, and a child who didn't
follow the parental injunction was accused of wrongdo-
ing.
But case after case has appeared in recent years in
which parents took advantage of that misintegpretation
of the word honor to use their children as tools, and
another instance has just come to light.
In Chicago the other day a man killed his wife while
she was summoning help on the telephone. Later his
that her mother had had a paramour with her at the
time. The father wanted to use the story that he had
been defending his wife from the man.
The little girl didn't want to tell that lie. But the man
who asked her to do so was her father, and he had taught
her that children must do as their parents tell them.
The country witnessed a tragedy not long ago when a
childs lies, at Orrville, Ohio, sent two men to prison as
kidnapers of another child. He, too. it appeared, had
been PINNED. His father told him what to say, and he
did as he was told. This situation became so hopelessly
involved with the passage Of time that it has never been
solved.
When a child will lie because he thinks it is worse to
disobcy a parent than to tamper with truth, it is time for
fathers and mothers to realize just how important they
are as factors in the character formation of their chill
dren. All children are alike in the fealty they give their
parents. Parents rule their world.
OF course it is a pretty safe bet that fear plays an &C
tive part in the stories of those who lie because they are
told to do so. But at the same time, the child thinks that
the parent has a right to inflict that punishment just
because he is a parent.
Life is pretty hard on children sometimes. It would he
well if fathers and mothers occasionally would decide to
honor their children, small sons and daughters.

1890, for both military and commercial purposes. The
value Of the 900 engines totalled, A.o63, lo2. OF the total
production, 54 engines, or ST. per cent, were produced
for the commercial market. These 5l4 engines were
valued at 81 9l9,2690o.
Engine sales during the same period show a total of
GIG military and commercial types, with a value of
$4,241, 9o4.29. The sale of 452 engines, with a value Of
is 87.9 per cent of commercial production.
AS in 1929, the production figures for the first quarter
Of 1880 show the open cockpit type of biplane leading.
with 59.A per cent Of total production. Cabin type mon
oplanes come next with 25l per cent of total production.
and the remainder is largely absorbed by the open cock
pit monoplane group.
In 1929, 81 per cent of the total production were BIZ
planes, including all types. Figures for production III the
first quarter of 1880 show that 606 per cent were biplanes,
a proportional increase Of nearly 10 per cent.
The average price of commercial planes, less motors,
of all types was $500. 40, which compared with an aver
age price of $6,27675 in 1929, shows an increase Of only
$8565 per unit.
The average unit price of commercial aircraft engines
in the first quarter was &c. 340o. compared to s3,243v65
in 1929 and $4,830.65 in 1928. Combining the average unit
cost of plane and motor, we find that the average COM
plete unit costs $lOO964o. This is slightly higher than
either 1929 or 1923, when the complete unit cost was
s., 520.40 and $s,685.l5 respectively.
The fact that in two classifications. more motors we're
sold than were produced indicated that stocks on hand
were being depleted in some lines.

son with this quarterly report, the totals were consider
fbly under half the semi-annual production report for
