TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

March II, 463 A. D. Saint Patrick,
patron saint of Ireland, died, claimed
by both Scotland and Wales as a ma
tive son! The Welsh say his birth
place was Aberllychwr in Pembroke
shire, the Scotch are sure he was born
at Fitzpatrick, near Glasgow. In any
case, he went to Ireland first as a
slave, having been kidnapped and sold
to a Gaelic chieftain.
AS told here last year, st. Patrick
instituted the Leap Year customs of
proposals by women!
March H. 1777-Roger Brooke Tan
ey (taw-ny) was born in Calvert
County, Md, where he lived until he
became successfully U. S. attorney
general, Secretary of the Treasury
and Chief Justice. The Senate refus-
ed his confirmation as associate just
ice-the first time a Presidents NOM
ination was rejected-but approved
his appointment as chief justice ex-
actly a century ago, in March 1886.
He wrote the celebrated bred Scott
decision, upholding slavery, which it
required the four years of War Be
tween the States to reverse, but both
the State and Wisconsin and Presi-
dent Lincoln defied his decisions.
When he defied the right of the Pres
ident to suspend the writ of habeas
corpus, Lincoln did so anyway.
Appropriately, fancy died on the
same day that Maryland abolished
slavery.
March II, 1871-The first profess
sional baseball league was organized
IN Golfers Saloon, 18th and Broad
way, New York City. Baseball play
ers are fired for hanging around sa-
looms now.
March II, 18S4-Twenty years be-
fore the Wrights flew, John ]. Mont
gomery, teacher in Saint Clara Col
lege, Santa Clara, Calf, made the
first glider flight. The 80 pound glid-
er bore his 100 pounds for 600 feet
from the hill off which he launch
ed it.
Montgomery was likewise the first
ITO launch gliders from other air
craft, and he was the pioneer in the
use of curved wing surfaces and of
the aileron principle in hinged wings
for maintaining equilibrium in the
air.

taken for an Allied merchantmen.
But the German campaign against
freight and passenger ships was not
proceeding as it's proponents had
hoped. On. this date Admiral Won
Tirpitz resigned. as the naval over
lord because of the obstacles placed
in it's way by the Kaiser and Won

Yet there very small payers, mostly.
The impression 1 get is that the
small payer is, perhaps not more

one. Possibly he would like to dodge,

Your Baby's Health
Baby Should Be Exposed At Early Age
 To Sunshine And Fresh Air

hours for airing the baby outdoors are in the morning and late in the afternoon, rather than in the ex- treme heat of the sun in the mid dle of the day. Small babies may be put outdoors in summer when they are one week old. Tn winter or fall, small babies should not be put outdoors unless they are at least three to five weeks old.
 It should be remembered that the child is helped not only by the di- rect rays of the sun, but also by the reflected rays or by what sometimes is called sky shine"
 one may begin exposing an in- fant from to { weeks of age to five minutes of reflected sunshine and fresh air, and gradually in- crease this by two minutes daily un- til the baby is receiving from one half to one hour of exposure each day.
 With older children, 1t is satis- factory to dress the child in a sun suit and permit 1t to play in the sun for fairly long periods.
 While sunstroke is q fairly free quent condition in adult, 1t Is not SO common among children. They are not compelled to stay in the sun when they arc not comfortable, and they are likely to avoid blisterS and too much sun.
 Children may become acutely i'll from an overdose of exposure to the sun. This illness is manifested not only by redness and blistering of the skin, which is painful, but by fever and even delirium and prostration.
 The only thing to remember in preventing such disturbances is the necessity of safeguarding the child by having lt acquire the sunburn gradually. There are various lotions and creams which serve the purpose of protecting from Sunburn the child who is too careless to look after himself.
 Heat prostration, of course, is more common than sunstroke. When the condition of the child indicates 1t has been overexposed to heat, 1t should be put to bed and Q physi- clan should be called. Before the doctor comes, the child's feet should be kept warm.
 It may be given plenty of fluids not too cold-and may be kept cool by forced ventilation with fan.

Paris Styles
By MARY VENTREsB

Paris (UP)-Thc midseason col lection at Lucien Lelong'S is sum- mery, with many costumes in cot- ton, washable materials for the street as well as beach wear. Out standing are the cotton tailored suits worn with cool printed blous- eg.
 For dressier wear, this countu- Tier shows tailored suits in printed silks which are worn with em- broidered blouses. Many of Lucien Lelong's afternoon dresses are in dark colors but are frightened by little jackets in light colors in pique or shantung. Some of these jackets are in wide-striped crepe printed with small bouquets of flowers or with tiny groups of people.
 Dresses for summer chiefly are characterized at this house by short sleeves, high and rounded necklines without collars and frilly or gather ed jabots. Light colored dresses are worn with velvet and faille redingotes made with fitted waists and fiarlng skirts. The sleeves are usually fitted tightly from the wrist to the elbow, then are pushed up in full gather to the shoulder line.
 Lelong makes one afternoon dress in white satin printed in red and blue flowers and worn under a blue velvet redingote which is cut low at the neck 60 that the full jabot of the dress can be pulled through and worn on the outside.
