the stove and tries il himself with
danger of asphyXiatiOn or serious
burns. These are but a few of the
results of a perfectly natural inn
pulse of curiosity. The remedies are
simple. Turn all handles out of
sight as well as out of reach. Guard
hot stoves from the touch either in
territorial or by falls of very small
children. Keep windows guarded
against the child falling out when
of an age to climb up. Keep all ves-
sells of hot water or other things of
the floor or the child out Of the
room. Keep gas valves sufficiently
tight so that the child cannot turn
them. In this same manner study
the dangerous avenues into which
this impulse of curiosity may lead
the child and Out-guess him before
he acts to his own injury or death.
Putting things in the mouth is
simply another instructive method
of acquiring knowledge. The child is
liable, however, because of its lack
of discrimination to take something
in its mouth that will either poison
il, choke it or injure it in other
ways. Small children often drink
from bottles or glasses containing
dangerous liquids from Kerosene to
carbOlic acid. Even open safety pins
have been swallowed. They pick
things off the floor from bugs to
hairpins and put them in their
mouths. Choking often results from
sharp objects like pins, needles,
pieces of broken glass or other
things carelessly left lying around.
The only remedy or safeguard for
this kind of accidents to children
lies in keeping such things out of
their reach. Especially is this true
in case of children under four years
of age. Here again good hOusekeep-
ing tells. Careful mothers seldom
have trouble of this kind.
There is a disposition upon the
part of most children to climb. This
may pass quickly or become a hab-
il and continue even into adoles-
cence. Many falls, some of which
prove fatal, result from this I'M
pulse. 1t is fortunate of course that
bones and joints are not brittle at
this age, yet permanent injury fire.
quently results from lack Of care
due to the presumption upon the
part of parents that children will
not break"
There are a multitude of other
home hazards for children. Runnin1
or playing with sharp objects such
as scissors, knives, forks. ice picks,
small sticks or even all day suckers
has seriously injured many children
and killed not a few. Every parent
must begin outguessing his child in
infancy and if it is to be raised un-
injured to adolescence the program
must be one of constant care and
watchfulness.

These are absolutely basic with chill
dren and no parent has learned his
whole lesson in child care until he
or she recognizes these forces and
how to combat their dangers.
The child is psychologically amas-
sing and classifying knowledge. The
result is his desire to reach for
bright objects, to look into closed
vessels or open ones into which he
cannot readily see. He reaches for
the handle of the vessel on the stove
and often dumps its contents on his
head. He will pull at the handle of
the coffee pot on the table and if
too short to reach it will pull on the
table cloth and dump everything off.
He will even touch a red hot stove
just because it is an attractive col
or. He is not content to stand on

conveniently. He will walk up to

THE 1894 CAMPAIGN in Delaware
Is nearing an end. There is little
or no more evidence to be submitted
The closing arguments will be made
today and tomorrow, and the issnt
will be submitted to the iury-the
people-Tuesday of next week.
This is a Delaware election. A
United States Senator is to be elect
ed and also Delaware member in
the Federal House of Representa-
tives. In addition to the State ticket
and members to the State Senate
and State House of Representatives,
County officials are also To be elect
ed. But the United States Senator
and members in the National House
Of Representatives are expected to
be representative of Delaware and
the intrests of Delaware as an in
tegral State of the Union. This is
the American play of Government.
Crnment are issues in the campaign.
il is right and proper that Delaware
voters should consider how they af-
feet Delaware interests. This is not
selfishness. but the normal right OF
a sovereign State, having and full
filing its part in the National Gov
ernment.
Delaware is one of the largest per
capita contributors to National tax
revenues and it has a right to con-
slider, and express its opinion con-
cerning the expenditures of National
Government which has increased
the tax burden on its commonwealth.
While small in area and population
when compared with other States in
the Union, the Diamond State con-
tributes largely to the Federal Trea-
sury through its financial, industrial
and agricultural interests-and it
has a right to return its finding,
through the election of United
States Senator and a Congressman,
as to the effect of the New Deal of
the present Administration on its
several interests. The welfare of
its industrial and agricultural en-
terprises is proper consideration
in this campaign. The condition of
Delaware farms and farmers is as
pertinent for Delaware action as is
the condition of the farmers and
planters in Western or Southern |
States. Prosperity in Delaware is a
vital factor in National prosperity.
Delaware is bound to Judge as to
recovery, by the evidence of recovery
within its own jurisdiction. There
has been some increase in earnings
in some localities it is true; but,
there has been an increase, in cost
of living to balance it; and the fail
ure of increasing dependency is un-
eniable-especially in the northern
part of the State.

fecting the welfare of every COM

Baer May Ask
Postponement;
Not in Shape

ASBURY PARK, N. j., June 7.
Today should see just how seri-
GUS Max Baer's handlers are in
their announcement that they
will seek a poStponement of the
big Californian's title bout with
Primo Camera, June IA, because
their man is not in shape.
If their claim that Baer Is
away off in his timing and
otherwise in need Of more prepa-
tory work for his title bid is
true they need only present
their case to the State ath-
letic commission.
Commission Decides
Whether or not there is to be
a postponement of the fight is
entirely a matter for the COM
mission to decide.
The postponement talk started
yesterday after Jack Dempsey,
who has a financial interest in
Baer, watched the Californian
go through his PAGES.
"He needs at least two weeks
more work." said Jack. ut
stands to reason a fighter can
not be out of the ring for a full
year and then come back quick
" to his fighting peak. Baer's
timing has been bad. His con-
ditiOn is fine. He couldn't be
better physically and mentally.
But he isn't timing his punches
properly"

Local Lad As Magnet
Will it be a better policy on

giving them the lions share of
the receipts, or to build up

valry between lesser lights with
regional titles at stake who will
work for more modest money
and yet pull the clients through

A tentative answer to such
proposition will be available
next Monday at the Riding and

strictly local lad, will be used
as the piece de resistance to
attract the customers. He fights

I confidently believe that
much grief and anguish can be
saved both principal parties who
have taken the lead in Washing
ton fight promotion if for the
time being they alternate their
shows from week to week, as
they did over the past two
weeks.
BY following such a policy
they can feel out the require
ments of the city, and if they
find that the ration of one show
each every other week is not Suf-
ficient to Satiate the local desire
for fisticuffing, they can move
over to a schedule of weekly
shows where advisable.
There is no logic in assuming
the risk Of killing off the early
interest which has been demon
Strated to date by one club try

tomorrow. Three games will
make the set a busy one.
Seeks Revenge
Manager Cronin, although he
holds the Harrismen in high es-
TEEN, stated today he hoped his
Griffmen might score a couple
victories in BeantoWn just as a
matter of revenge for recent Sox
lickings if for no other reason.
On the strength of what the
Griffs have shown in other road
games this season, Cronin'S wish
should come true, as apparently
his team can really play better
ball out of town than at home.
If this turns out to be the
case at Boston over the coming
weekend, the Griffs can be said
to have one or two of those
hoped-for triumphs in store for
them. At the same time, the
Harris teams drive towards first
place in the race will be re-
tarded somewhat.

Here is something for the box
ing commission to watch. There
Is a natural boxing interest in
Washington worth preserving,
but it can be killed by overpro-
duction.
I happen to know that the
temperament of the District of
Columbia Boxing Commission
is for weekly shows. This is quite
a natural attitude and one which
is to be expected, for the cot
fers of the commission will TO-
quire all the driblets possible
in order for it to exist.
But will the town stand two
major promotions per week, the
year around? BY fall, you
know, Joe Turner will move
into the auditorium.
Frank Discussion
Only time will furnish the
answer to that, but in the
meanwhile a bit of speculation
and honest discussion shouldn't
becloud the issue.
It goes without saying that
the attendances on the past
two Monday nights at the Rid
ing and Hunt Clubs and Grit
fifth Stadium respectively we're
somewhat larger than either
may be expected to average.
In the case of the former. it
was the initial indoor promo
ton of a professional type and
curiosity and the novelty of
the thing did much to fill
the seats.
The same goes for the Risko-
Brown affair, which pried off
the lid in outdoor professional
promotion, but which. in addi.
ton, was a better card on the
face of matters.
