Left-Handedness May Be an
Advantage to Young Child

Science is now giving the left
handed child gratifying amount
Of belated attention, according to
Helen Farnsworth, who, in her ar
ticle Are You Left-Handed?" ap-
pearing in Hygeia, shows that left
handedness may be an asset.
Science has proved beyond reason
able doubt that this puzzling trait
follows the mendelian law of inheri-
lance. This means that two left
handed parents will have left-hand-
ed children; two right-handed
parents of mixed right and left
handed parentage will have one left
5handed child in four.
Educators have found that a child
who is forced to change his natural
tendency is subject to speech dis
turbances, such as suffering or
stammering, which originate in the
nerve centers that are used in read
ing, writing and speech.
Variations in the dexterity of the
hands mean nothing in regard to
mentality or physical skill and do
not indicate any abnormal tenden-
cies in the child. 1t Is far more ad-
visable to train the left-handed child
to be ambidextrous than to force
him to use only his right hand in
the attempt at correction. Especial
ly is this true after the sixth year,
when the functions of the brain
and muscle have become coordi-
mated.
Left-handed children may be
taught to shake hands with the right
hand, for otherwise objectionable
awkwardness will result; but when
they are very young they should not
be constantly admonished to use
the right hand; for their brain cells,
which should not be overtaxed, are
learning to coordinate, and that is
a full-time job at besti

Death to Poisonous
Black Widow Spider

One of the most poisonous insects
which troubles mankind is the Black
Widow spider. While this insect is
fairly easily identified by the hour
glass marking on the under side,
oftentimes people have been bitten
by it before they have had time TO
discover its dangerous character.
The best plan is to regard all spi-
ders with suspicion, and to destroy
them as soon as they are discovered.
A reliable insect spray, contain
ing an ample quantity of Pyrethrins,
a product derived from Pyrethrum
flowers, Is not only sure death to
spiders, including the dread Black
Widow, but kills flies, mosquitoes
and other insect pests.
In making up product of this
kind, it is important that ample
Pyrethrins be included to give a
complete killing effect. Unless suf.
ficient Pyrethrins are contained In
the mixture insects may be stunned
and rendered groggy for a time, but

titles your side to generous share In
the World Series. So it would be silly
to hint that the possessors of such
rare hurting talent are slipping merely
because luck has not been quite as gen.
erous with them as it was a season ago.
Also it would be decidedly unfair to
two UP and coming strong arm men,
bers of the same gang. II Joseph
(alias Ducky Wucky) Medwick and
John (aIias Pepper) Martin happen to
be receiving main share of the ap-
pIause right now it is solely upon
their own merits. Even though their
attacking averages may not be quite
UP to those of the once famous Foxx-
Simmons or Ruth-Gehrig combinations
it has been years since the fans have
been fascinated and opposing teams
bedeviIIed by such pair.
Of course, the individual excellence
of the two is not exactly matter of
red hot news. Medwick, as was al
most exclusively predicted by this de-
partment before the event, was one
of the brightest stars of the 1884
World Series, while Martin had
achieved fame even previous to that
Yet it also is true that, until recently,
their real value to the champions had
been greatly obscured by the better
press-agented performances of the
