CRIPPLED BABY
WINS HELP Of
HENRY FORD

DETROIT, May Is G.N.S0-
The vast business empire of Henry
Ford got along without his atten-
ton today, while the motor mag
nate came to the aid of crippled
baby, made fatherlesS by the law.
The baby, James Bunny Daw-
son, IL months old, was an hon.
ored guest in Ford Hospital TO-
day, attended by dozens of nurses
and doctors eager to carry out the
wishes of the old man."
DR.. Roy D. Mcclure, who re-
Gently operated on Ford himself,
will operate on "Bunny's" crippled
foot, so the child may walk.
Ford will also supply "Bunny's"
mother, Mrs. Nettie Dawson, with
o job.
Escaped Prison
'Bunny's" father, Brooke Daw-
son, was sent to Jackson prison
when he was 18 after a boyhood
adventure in crime. For years he
was model prisoner, a trusty.
Then, a few weeks before his
scheduled parole.S he learned that
his sister was dying of tuber-
culosis in Detroit.
Dawson escaped. He reached
his sisters bedside a few hours
before she died. For five years
he lived the life of a free man
and a good citizen. He married
and settled down in PeekSkill,
N. Y.
Then came the depression and
Dawson had no job. With his
wife and baby he wandered about
the country, finally returning in
desperation to his home town of
River Rouge to seek the help Of
friends.
Then Goes Back
He was recognized, arrested, and
returned to the prison, leaving his
wife and baby penniless.
Various moves to get him a
parole or pardon have been
started but Parole Commissioner
w. Alfred Debo is not in favor
of freeing him.

"HOnest PickpOcket''
Sends Back Empty
Purse He Stole

HAGERSTOWN. Md. May
25.-Edgar P. Eyler. of Hagers-
town, connected with the State
Labor Department, has discov-
cred an honest pickpocket."
While attending the races at

To his surprise he received
the pocketbook with the con-
tents intact yesterday through

and that he much preferred to be q
newspaper man of the present.
He came to New York in 1914 with
hts wife, Sophie Treadwell, now a sue
cessful dramatist, and quickly rose from
the status Of a newcomer from the
West to one of New York's leading
sports writer's and columnists. Perhaps
his greatest fame came from the coin
age Of epithets which have become q
part of sports language. To him goes
the credit for such names as the
"caulifiower industry" the tall tower
of Gorgonzola," the three dumb dukes" /"
which had three members Of the New
York State Athletic Commission almost
keyed up to a fighting pitch before they
got used to it; the title of badgers" for

haired wielder of the slapstick who con-
Quoted the column in the Tribune, the

The sheriff" died yesterday at BrunS-
wick. Ga. of a heart attack Twice in
the past month his illness had forced
him to enter a hospital at Brunswick,
where he had gone to visit his old friend
Wilbert Robinson, former manager of
the Brooklyn National League base ball
club, and twice he had rallied. A week
ago he was allowed to leave the hospital
and go to cottage at Sea Island
Beach. although physicians told him
death might come at any time.
Thought to Be Improving.
Apparently well along the road to
Improvement. he suffered sudden at
tack yesterday and died before Mrs.
on q shopping tour, could return.
Today sports leaders, his fellow
writer's, q geart army Of readers and
even those who had writhed under his
biting comments or sputtered in anger

unique and appropriate epithets he ap-
piled to people and things in sports,
Joined to pay tribute.
Born in San Francisco in 1879, Nc
Geehan started writing sports in that
city and after attaining considerable
fame there he came to New York to add
to his laurels. He served In two wars
and after they were over never could
be persuaded to tell q serious story

Too often parents have the idea
that children may be kept happy
BY excitement.
enlightenment" Is just what 10
says-exciting or stimulating the
senses. The nerves OF sight, taste,
hearing, touch or smell, v the way
are not the only channels by which
we get pleasure-far from ".
Our emotional fibres are a. con-
plicated az the electrical viscera
of q robot. AS we have thousand
kinds of "feeiings'' we respond to
ten thousand excitements.
Eject Of Stimulation
To keep ourselves constantly
stimulated gives pleasure, OF course
we like to taste candy, for in
stance, rather than read. Or
we would rather hear music than
the soft splash Of a waterfall. To
see q movie has much more punch
than to look at q hayfield. TO dance
Is more exciting to our nerves OF
rhythm than to walk down the
street to buy groceries.
We could go on, but make your
own comparisons.
making a mistake IL we think we
have to fiiifp their nerves constant
ly Just to keep them happy. SEN
sation we do provide, certainly, for
the minute, but sensation and con-
tentmeflt contain few of the same
letters.
A child on q farm can be as con-
tented and really happy as the
child in city who gets q hundred
sensations q day by just turning
his head. He doesn't even have to
keep his enrs or eyes open. A thou
sand noises are all about him, q
thousand sights to see.
The child in q modest home can
be, and often IL, more sincerely
content than the rich child whose
mistaken parents load up his days
with new toys, clothes, candy, rides
and spending money.
Contentment vs. Excitement
There Is a very clear reason. II
10 this. Nerves do not long respond
to the same stimulus, but nerves
once started do demand new and
more stimulus. Excitement wears
off, but the hunger for II lasts. In
time even that wears away and we
find hundreds OF young folk half
dead with boredom. The symptoms
of this are broken tempers, pouting
faces, and q decide dtendency to-
warddisobaAience. Disobedience IL
often just one more way to find q
thrill, to the fed-up child.
There Ii another point to be
made. Young nerves cannot stand
as much excitement as those OF the
matured body, just as the fur Of q
young animal yon't stand too much
rubbing, while the pelt Of the par
ent will wear for years.
We don't want to close In on the
children too much. They need TO
have fun and change In demanded.
They need a certain number OF
playthings, places to 60 and things
to do.
But we will show our sense II
We leave some Of the good things
until they grow up. Save something
for future years. They need not
live thirty years In fifteen.
Contentment 10 a healthy state
Of mind-excitemen In not, II Il 10
a halt. Let us oil stop and think
where we stand and call a halt Il
the children are getting too much.

IS You WANT COOP TEETH :

An examination, recently con.
Quoted in q school district of Union
County IN. ~ disclosed the fact
that among the Ave hundred pu-
pills there were more than two hun

neighboring school district, the
dentist found only six infected
teeth. It 10 easy to guess that the
district without dental clinic had
the larger number Of defective
teeth.
IN terms or nGalth, no school dis

and progressive teachers recognize
the possibilities Of health programs
