President Molina is rabid base
ball fanatic. and only last June he
was accused of stealing many Of the
best players of the American negro
teams. The charges, quite violent
and vehement they were, were
made by the National Negro League
Of America, comprising six teams,
and were backed up by Ferdinand
@. Morton, New York civil service
commissioner, who is the Judge
Lands of the league.
It was asserted that agents and
emissaries of the President did re.
peatedly, by trick and device,
snatch an ebony ball player wher-
ever they might find him; that they
had thus cashiered some of the best
talent of the negro league. The

WOMAlV;S REALM =
Your Children
By Olive ROberts Barton

Mothers used to put bitter aloes an nails to discourage the boy or girl bent on nail de- struction. still another way was to use a ruler. Tying hands behind backs, as q reminder. was resorted to, also. And of course, lengthy scoldings and lectures.
 Such tactics were almost useless, and besides, cruel.
 Try an experiment and take your Johnny, one fine day (if he is a nervous little naiI-chewer) on a round of pleasure, with nothing to worry about, such as friends who bulldoze him or lessons to burden him: put on his best and most be- coming clothes and give him some money to spend. Keep him laughing and sunny all day, and also an eye out for those hands. I'd venture to say that not once has he lifted his hands to his mouth, unless 1t was from sheer over excitement and joy.
 Emotional Upset to Blame
 Which proves something, at least. That the habit is emotion al, and only emotional in the be. ginning. Perhaps 1t is & direct worry, such as lessons, or play mates. or even family trouble that causes 1t. But 1t may be that the whole pressure of living is just too much. I1feriority, lack confi- dence, perhaps a secret feeling of guilt, which some children develop easily, are worries that count for far more nervousness than tangible reasons.
 Children are secretice. They won't tell you what they are feeling. Sometimes I think they'd rather die almost than own up to the fact that they think they are not much good. It lies in their iinaginations, but iriaginations can be cruel.
 So what had best be done, if other means have been tried and have failed, not only to cure nail- biting, but any other habit as well?
 Cure Must Como From Self
 First of all, the less said to the sufferer the better. Don't notice him. It does no good, and only fixes habit, if 1t does anything at all. Any urge to improve his hands, will have to come from his own mind.
 He may need to be much, much buster than he is, and get 50 in. terested in games or friends that he will forget his hands. If, re- versely, ne has too much to do, and too much excitement, he may need more placid hours to him. self. Tell him he is handsome and the very ticket. Fix him up a little bit extra.
 Try to ferret out any underly- ing causes and vague worry or depression, and apply measures there. Give him lnanicures, ever 50 simple. Don't force him into situations that he dreads. See that he is tired enough to go right to sleep at bedtime.
 Only nervous children resort to such habits and the best course is to remove the causes if possible. ., Copyright. 1887, NEA Service, Incl

 The very best spring tonic for hair, skin and figure beauty is made like this:
 To nine hours sleep every night for month. add IS minutes of setting-up exercises once a day and diet of more vegetables and sal- ads than desserts starchy or fried foods.
 Mix with a pleasant disposition and, for seasoning, systematic nightly skin routine to suit indit Ndual requirements. Take this reg ularly, and you'll find that spring blues are something you won't catch, that any such connection as sul- phur and molasses is something you won't need.
 If you haven't taken seriously ( ,rlscientious beauticians' remarks a put health being the true founda- ton of real beauty, do SO just for a month and see what happens.
 Until you have exercised prop erlJ every day for four weeks, you can't possibly have any idea of how much better setting-up foutines make you feel. Eat the right kind of food and you'll have a clearer head and lighter feet. Slee. more hours to convince your self that rest makes for sparkling cs and sweeter smile.
 Remember that skin which Is c!eansed. lubricated and stimulated faithfully night after night will stay young and attractive. Improper claansing causes blackheads. blein4 tshcs and dinginess. Dryness is a forerunner of fine lines and wrinkles. Open pores and sallow- ne.s often are the result of slug- gish circulation.

Tie the other oval wire l" from the opposite ends of the four wires, for attaching the brim. Cover the outside space between the oval wires with crushed green film and secure with the tape. The inside is lined with clear-color crushed film.
 To attach the crown to the brim, insert the four wire ends through the green film, bend under the tape securely. Cover the underSide of the brim with a crushed green piece and fasten at the edge with the tape. The binding of silver Scotch tape is used around the brim and the top of the crown, and the silver ribbon of the film encircles the hat, with a tailored bow on both sides. A shamrock cut from the ribbon is applied just above each bow. Miniature hats, made over paper nut cups, form the favors.

Winter Attack Of Whooping Cough
 Begins In Same Way As a Cold

promptly after spell of coughing, particularly if he has just eaten. These attacks are exhausting and may be severe enough to make the victim seem dizzy or confused.
 Cases vary from those that are mild, with half dozen coughing spells ip 24 hours, to those that arc severe, with 20 to 50 attacks in that period.
 It is known now that the at tackS of coughing may be aggra- vated by exposure to cold drafts of air, tobacco smoke, cold drinks, overeXerctse, or any other irritant
 Sometimes the coughing may be 50 severe as to cause nosebleed. One of the worst features of whooping cough is the fact that the child Is unable to eat, or loses his appetite, so that his nutrition suffers.
 The second stage of whoOping cough finally passes, in four to six weks, into the third stage in which the spells of coughing gradually de- crease. In many cases the child will get well in another week, but there are instances in which whoop- ing cough has lasted two or three months. and even longer.
 Most serious in this period is the possibility of a secondary attack of bronchitis, secondary infection of the ears, pneumonia, or secondary attacks of severe bleeding from the nose or throat.
 From the description of these symptoms it should be clear to everyone that whooping cough is not a disease to be trifled with.
 It is believed that one-half of the whooping cough victims under , months of age die Of 1t, and that perhaps one-fourth of those who later get the disease die whei, they become infected. With proper care. however. and use of modern methods. most such fatalities may be avoided.

 The worst epidemics of whoopng cough occur in winter. and it there fore is difficult to distinguish the early symptoms of the disease from those of the ordinary cold.
 The first stage of whooping cough is Q period of about 10 days in which the victim has an ordinary cough and typical symptoms of cold. After five or six days, how ever, instead of getting better as one usually does, this cough gets worse and begins to occur in spells or seizures.
 At first these are rather mild and there may be only two or three of them a day. Finally they get little more severe and frequent. es- pecially at night. Then the typi- cal "whooping" begins. This in- troduces the second stage of whoop- ing cough.
 In this stage the child will give vent to a series Of explosive coughs, coming one after the other, some- times with no opportunity to breathe between coughs. The final sound is . long "whoop." which repre- scnts an attempt to draw in q lot of air. If these coughing spells are severe. the child's face will become deep red or purple. the veins of his face and scalp will swell, and his eyes will All with tears.
 A child may follow one "whOop" CT growing sound with another suc- aehsion of rapid coughs. and then kn0lller "wh0Op." Finally, . mass oi Bucous material may be brought kp. after which the coughing and ewhooping" will stop temporarily.
