NORMAN SPER and Frank
~ Scully, the former widely
known football statistician and
historian and the latter a noted
writer, are submitting TO gov
eminent officials the largest
sized plan 10 date for the sports
entertainment of our troops
abroad.
Their idea is 10 transport TO
Europe and North Africa and
perhaps even 10 Australia, some
of our standard sports spec
tacles such as championship prize
fights and big league baseball
and professional football games
and present them before the
soldiers.
They think il would be fine
thing if a couple of the big
league ball clubs went to Europe
or North Africa and did their
spring training and played exhi-
bition games TO soldier crowds,
though / imagine IL is little
too late now for the baseball 1t
is also my conjecture that the
matter of transportation of en-
tire ball clubs might prove a
problem.
Still, il could probably be done
by air or water if the govern
ment officials approved and
there seems no reason why they
should not approve. They have
been sanctioning service baseball
and football teams in this coun-
try ever since we got in the war

QUESTIONS, ANSWERS
NJ. K.:-What are the. symp-
toms Of whooping cough? In
what stage is il the worst?
Do you lose il entirely at the
end of nine weeks?
Can you still pass the germ
TO others after the whooping
cough is over?
Answer-The principal symp-
tom of whooping cough consists
in a succession Of paroXyisms
of coughing due TO the laryngitis
and tracheitis.
The secretion is so tenacious
that il is very difficult to get
up and finally causes a spasm
of the larynX which makes the
patient take a long, Growing
inspiration; this is the "whoop."
The spasm always also in
duces vomiting. so unless this is
corrected by good, nutritious
food, considerable nutrition loss
occurs.
The stages of whooping cough
are usually given as the ca
tarrhal stage, the paroxysmal
stage and the stage of GONZALES
cence.
Naturally. the paroXysmal
stage is the worst.
Nine weeks is only an average
period for the duration Of the
disease.
Sometimes it lasts several
months.
1t is probably not contagious
after the catarrhal stage.

of halitosis? Is there cure for
