never returned to the dear old Briar

home was up the Laughing Brook or

have the least idea. Sometimes he
was sure 1t was up and sometimes he
was sure 1t was down, and sometimes
he wondered If 1t was near the Laugh

he could be seen. 1t was just as If
Billy Mink had turned himself into
those brown leaves. Peter looked this
way and looked that way and looked

Nose Spray Helps Prevent
Infantile Paralysis

Washington. - New research,
which gives clue to the mocha
nism that gives immunity to in
fantile paralysis and seems to show
that spraying of the nose with
chemical or other germ-fighting
agents will eventually prove the
means of preventing this Gripping
malady was reported at the meet
ings of the Society of American Bac-
teriologists here.
In actual practice with children,
the method has so far not been any,
thing like 100 per cent successful.
But from reports presented it ap-
pears that the method is fundamen-
tally sound and that success is only
a matter of perfecting details, such
as finding the best substance to
spray and the surest way of getting
the spray onto the strategic area.
The lining of the nose appears to
be the key to the situation. Not
only does the virus of the disease
enter the body through this lining,
but resistance to the virus devel-
ops naturally in this lining. This
last important point appears from
research reported by Drs. Albert B.
Sabin and Peter K. Olitsky of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research.
Of all the chemicals they tested,
zinc sulphate was the most effective.

American Association as their prin-
cipal training grounds for talent.
These two powerful minor league
clubs will continue to produce fine
baseball ability every year for the
Yankees, replacing slipping veter-
ans.
The Yanks are one of several
teams that have discovered that the
proper method of supplying win
ming major league club with cap
able talent is to own some minor
league teams. Rupert first tried
paying high prices for advertised
stars when he took over the Yanks.
This proved too costly. The farm
method has proved far better. 1t
costs less and supplies classier ma
terial. The st. Louis Cardinals un-
der Branch Hickey made a similar
discovery a few years back and
they now have the most extensive
chain farm system in baseball.
The thing for the other clubs to do
is to build farm systems that are
as good as the Yankees or the
Cardinals have and the Giants, Cubs
and Indians are developing. Such a
measure would eventually equalize
the playing strength of the various
teams and bring into more even
balance the strength of the Ameri-
can and the now admittedly
weaker National league.

Hitless Wonders
NOTES cleaned fro

NOTES cleaned from official Ma
~ tional league batting averages:
Boston's Bees truly were the hit
less wonders of 1887. They had a
team average of PAT, made the few
est number of runs, of hits, of total
bases, and wound up the campaign
in fifth place, only stones throw
from the first division. The answer
lay in a defense that was stouter
than any other in the league.
1t was a bad year for Cincinnati's
betting baseball players. Manager
Charley Dresser wagered, among
other things, eight hats to one of
Jimmy Wilson'S that the Reds would
beat out the Phils in the standings;
and Chick Hafey, who had a sport
ing wager with Wally Berger over
relative batting marks, found his
.261 average more than 20 points
under that of the Giants outfielder.
With the retirement of Frank
Frisch from active baseball the Ma
tional league lost the outstanding
turn around hitter in it's history.
There were six regular turn around
hitters last season-Herschel Mar
tin, Lonny Frey, Jimmy Brown,
Ripper Collins, Augie Galan, and
Del Young. None of them hit as
high as 1856.
There were fewer $3.50 hitters in
the National league in 1887 than in
either of the two previous years.
Also the general league batting
average last season was lower than
in either of the two other years.
Yet, despite the decline of offensive
power, the league ruled for a deader
ball.
Johnny Moore, late of the Phillies
and now with Los Angeles, built up
higher mark than any made by
the pennant winning Giants. The
fychaser was waived out of the
league during the big league base
ball meetings. Moore can blame his
drop into the minors to two things:
The gentleman's agreement in vogue
and the failure of the Is player pro-
posal to be adopted. This crowded
him out.

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Prepare for Spring.-Now is a
good time to collect cigar boxes
or make flats for planting seeds
indoors.
When Handling Hot Glass
Handle hot glass cooking utensils
with dry cloth or pad; damp or
wet cloths are apt to cause them
to crack.
Improving COcOa.-The flavor
of hot cocoa or chocolate may be
improved by adding one-fourth
teaspoon of vanilla to each cup of
milk.
Smooth Quilts.-Ordinary can
dlewick bedspreads need no press
ing after laundering. If, however,
the spread appears too wrinkled,
press dry on the wrong side over
a soft pad, then brush the tufts of
yarn briskly with a stiff brush to
make them fluffy.
Covering Chairs.-When making
loose covers for easy chairs or
settees, make extra slips fitted
with patent fasteners to cover the
arms, which get most wear and
soil quickly. These strips can be
removed and washed when neces-
sary.
Saving Sheets. - To salvage
sheets that have been torn down
the center, tear them completely
apart, sew the selvages together,
and hem the edges.
Peanut Butter Drops.-One cup
peanut butter, one and one-half
cups powdered sugar, four egg
whites (unbeaten). Cream to-
gether and drop mixture in small
spoonfuls on parchment paper.
Bake in moderate oven for 20 min
uteS.
For the Garden.-Begin collect
ing stakes for the garden. There
will never be enough of them
when you want them.
Sandpaper-Wax Cure.-To rem
edy furniture drawers which stick
sandpaper and wax their edges.

Scouts insufficient

Of course there is the alternative
of a bigger scouting system for
every team. But if the top clubs
continue to increase their farm &C.
tivities, the field for scouting will
be so limited that it will be difficult
to find adequate talent except on
teams owned by other clubs. Scouts
are said to be running into that
situation already.
Baseball fans everywhere love a
winner. They are content as long as
their team is in the fight. But they
are justly dissatisfied with teams
that have no chances whatever.
Unless the problem of strength
ening the tailenders is solved short
ly, it is not inconceivable that
major leagues be cut to six clubs
each or some of the franchises
moved. Moving the franchises
might not remedy the situation
more than temporarily. The solu-
ton is for all major league clubs to
be so financed that they can estab-
lish adequate farm systems of their
own.

Famous Food Expert
To Conduct Feature

u EGINNING with this issue
= this paper is pleased to an
nounce new series of articles
which we believe to be the
most original and up to date
food department in the country.
We wanted to offer a food
department that was live-in-
teresting-different. We wanted
to get away from the usual
"recipe column" We believe
the women of this community
are primarily interested in food
in its relation to health, in its
effect on growing children. In
formation of this sort has usu-
ally been too scientific to be
understood by the average per-
son, but in this series it is pre-
scented in clear, understandable
language and applied so that it
will fit the average household.
C.. Houston Goudiss, famous
author, lecturer, and radio per-
sonality, will conduct this de-
partment each week. Many
housewives will want to make
scrapbooks of these articles.
Don't miss single issue.
