NURSES AID 24,0DO
HERE IN 9M0NTHS
Care of Children Is Major
Function OF Instructors
Who Visit Homes.

Baby's routine and brothers pneu-
monia are just few Of the many re-
sponsibilities shouldered by the In
structive Visiting Nurse Society which
treated $4,000 children and as many
adults in Washington homes during
the last nine months
Yet infant and child care Is one Of
the most important functions of the
society. In 1888, the society's staff
helped to start 1000 babies of in the
right way by caring for them during
their first 10 days and instructing
mothers in child hygiene.
Prenatal care Is also given. Mothers
are advised as TO the proper diet and
exercise and instructed in child care,
which includes an hourly routine for
infants planned with the aid Of the
physician.
Care Of Sick in Homes.
Another type of case which demands
much attention of the staff Is the
home treatment of sick or convalescent
children, as illustrated in the lower
picture
The boy is recovering from pneu-
monia.
Under these conditions. the young
patient must be almost as carefully
guarded as before the dread crisis.
Any of q number of causes may throw
him into a dangerous relapse
Such convalescent should have
quiet. Noisy children must be kept
from his room. He should be guarded
from drafts, although the sick room
ought to be well ventilated. He should
be kept in bed and there is a certain
way to arrange the covers for his COM
fort.
Care Of Dishes Important.
Also, the mother must be instructed
in the sterilization Of dishes to pre-
vent the possibility of contagion. a
danger present even in convalescence
The work of the society is largely
financed through the Community
Chest and private endowments, but
maintains a pay service by which peo-
pie Of moderate means can have the
aid of registered nurse at a nomi-
nal cost.

see another Russo Japanese war far

he declared
Russia in a few years, at the pres

Mr.. Clinton said Russia today is
not Communistic, but state-Social-

ment that an outsider committed

There are a multitude of other
questions which may complicate

More Puzzles
Why did Earle write an affection

he returned to Chicago for several

COLLEGE BEATS
DEMOLAY 67-53,
IN FAST GAME
Scoring Of Brant and Bay.
ersFeature Opening of
College Series

In an orgy of scoring on the
part of both quints, the ColleglanS
last night won from the DeMolal
outfit by a score of CT to SO in one
of the most exciting games OF the
year. The game was featured by
the shooting of Harry Brant, form
err local High School ace, ana LLOYD
Bayers, DeMolay center.
Brant Gagged 10 from scrimmage
most of them looping one-handso
throws, and three from the gift
line for 30 points. BayerS sank IL
field goals and two on free throws
for % points.
Team Play Counts
The Collegians had a decided
edge in team work and that was
the deciding factor in the game
The DeMolay squad, which was
the strongest it had assembled this
season, showed the effects of its
layoff of the past two weeks.
Both clubs elected to play a
strong offensive game and neglected
the defensive side after the first
few minutes. The local team held
a 5 to 4 advantage for the first
seven minutes but lost it at the
end of the first quarter when Brant
started on his scoring rampage
The first quarter ended with the
Collegians on the long end OF a
10-7 score.
Never Headed Again
They we're never headed after
that point. But the DeMolays rail-
lied several times to carry the
count within a single point of ty-
ing, only to have the Collegians
squirt again and move out of thu
danger zone.
Midway of the second period, aft
err the visitors had boosted the
score to 16 to 9, the locals rallied
and made it 1915. From that
mark, the Collegians steadily forg-
sd ahead to end the half ten points
TO the good, 1922.
Squirt i'm Second
The locals spurted at the out
set of the second half and by q
pretty exhibition of passing anc
checking, moved up to within one
point of the College quint at 1886
Each team scored two fields il
quick succession, then the Col
legians broke loose again with five
field goals and the third quartel
ended with them leading 48 to 80.
Although the DeMolays contin
ned to score in the fourth quar-
ter the College maintained its Leaf
