PITCHING THE cLINKERs

A newspaper note remarks that
pitching horseshoes is a. very fav-
orite sport this year. The crowds
do not often gather to see the twirl-
ers of the curving irons do their
stun, and for a host Of common
folks it Is a popular game. There
are countless horseshoe spaces on
public Fairgrounds, and summer
hotels aInuse their restless guests
by offering this chance to test their
control of muscle and estimate Of
distance
1t looks easy to throw Dobbin's
shoe around that little peg, but the
novice soon finds that his pitching
comes under the head of $50 near
but yet so far" 1t is a nice sport
for young folks. 1t consoles the old
folks for the short breath that gives
out on the tennis cort, and the
weak legs that no longer walk five
miles on the golf links.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?


When you read about unit" it
likely means a house which may be
very small or very large. Hundreds
of acres of units have been built in
what is spoken of as "the Wash
ington area" that reaches out into
parts of Maryland and east from
the District of Columbia down to
Norfolk and the Virginia Capes. A
unit is some kind of a house.
Laymen may never have suspect
ed that the merchant marine and
the Naval forces of the United
States government had so many
tons. A ton is still a puzzle but
when a ship is called ship, the
same way frying pan is described
as frying pan, then we. all can
understand. 90

RAISING HEALTHY CHILDREN

The Children's Bureau of the
United States Government was es-
tablished rs years ago, for the pur-
pose of checking the increase in
infant mortality, due to the boil
weevil in the South, and lack of
housing and medical care of in
fants in the North. In 1916, out of
every 1000 babies born alive 1O6
died before the first birthday. In
1888 the rate had been cut to So,
gain of more than 100T6.
Miss Katherine Lenroot has been
Chief of the Children's Bureau for
many years and there is no woman
in the Government who has rend-
cred such valuable service to hui
manity, and been given credit for
1t. The Government, the. medical
profession, and health societies of
the nation are unanimous in their
praise and appreciation of Miss
Lenroot.
Thus, while the war goes on
bringing distress to millions, a
quiet and persistent movement tc
save the lives of millions of chill
dren goes on its way, protecting
their health during childhood. and
guaranteeing them better health in
the years to come.
