Mount Vesuvius went on a

Hurting rocks and ash in the

 Before the baby nurses for the first time the mothers nipples should be washed with soap and water, and following that with clear water. They should be washed with clean boiled water after each nursing, dried carefully with cot- ton, and parotected with sterile gauge, or a piece of clean soft linen placed inside the brassiere.
 The nipples should be watched closely for signs of irritation or breaks in the skin. These should be reported promptly to the doctor and treated as carefully as any open wound. The baby's mouth should not come in contact with a cracked

Little points like these bring biz

nipple. The physician may advise the use of nipple shields to protect the nipples. If so, these may be bought at the drugstore. The old fashioned lead nipple shield, how ever, has been found to be danger ous and should not be used.
 If the baby cannot nurse with the nipple shield, it may be neces- sary to express the milk by hand and feed it to the baby This is a very particular technique, however, and since the breasts are easily bruised, the home nurse should not attempt to do this without the doc tors instructions.
 If the congestion of the breasts at first causes them to be painful, an ice bag will usually bring re- lief. This congestion should dis appear after a few days when the baby is strong enough to nurse vigorously. It it continues longer than a day or two, it should be brought to the attention of the physician.

It is strange
 how hard it is to sell women, who get real satisfaction out of doing volunteer jobs, on the idea of talk ing on real jobs with definite hours for real pay.
 Perhaps it is because many women who are free to work don't want to work as hard as a real job requires. Perhaps some of them are influenced by the social aspects of the situation, knowing they add to their social prestige when they pack fancy Christmas boxes on a volunteer, charming -matron basis but might detract from it if they went to work in factory packing K or c rationS.
 SEEK SOCIAL CONTACTS
 Maybe there are those, too, who take on the volunteer jobs for the social contacts" they make at their work-or on the chance of getting their pictures on the society page.
 But with so many of the coun- try's men volunteering for the hard, realistic jobs of the war it doesn't look very well for women who turn up their noses at the jobs that are far more important to the war effort than any volunteer work they could possibly dream up.
 If Congress should pass a mea- sure providing for a years com- pulsory government service it might prove to be very good idea to in- clude young women in the set-up.
 For American women as a class apparently need to be made more aware of their own obligation to serve their country in time of need. Copyright, 1914, NEA Service, Inc.

Today's hand brings out an in- teresting theory on the opening lead. You may not agree with the North South bidding, but never theless they did get to six, and West wisely did not double. If you were on lead, which ace would you select?
 Having seen the North hand void of diamonds, it is of course easy to decide that the ace of spades should be led, but what is the the- ory that should bring West to that decision? First, he has bid diamonds, and in spite of that, the opponents have gone to six. Second, West holds five, diamonds and four spades; therefore, the possibility that both opponetns hold a spade is slightly greater than that each has dia- mond.

Busters Grab Brief Lead
But Commodore Power
Holds Offensive
BY BLOYs BRITT


CHAPEL HILL, Nov. 3. -(P)-
cambridge Nays power-laden
Commodores bounced into the Ma
tional football limelight with
bang here today by crushing pre-
viously unbeaten North Carolina
Navy Pre-Flight, 40 to 20, in
display Of sheer power seldom seen
below the Mason Dixon line.
The victory left the Commodores
unbeaten after two years Of play
and gave them claim to at least
a share of the mythical service
team championship.
From the opening gun it was
apparent that Coach Joe Maniaci's
boys had too much for Otto Ora
ham and the Cloudbusters, who
previously had taken Duke. Navy,
and Georgia Pre-Flight in stride.
The boys from Maryland, alternat-
ing in deception and straight pow.
er plays, swept to a touchdown
midway OF the first period, got
four more in the second, one in the
third and capped the scoring spree
with another in the final period.
They also got a safety in the
third.
Pre-Fhght, kept on the defensive
much Of the game by the hard
charging cambridge line, manag-
ed to 50 ahead briefly in the Sc
cond stanza when it powered
across one touchdown and cover
ed a tumble for another. From
then on out it was all cambridge
although the Pre-Flighters manag-
ed to add six more points to their
total in a wild scramble in the
closing minutes Of the game.
cambridge got away to an early
lead in the first period when Hill
ard Cheatham, formerly Of Au-
burn, passed IA yards to AL Vande-
weche. Harvey johnson, William
and Mary star, added the point.
Starting the second period, Char
lie Justice, the Asheville, N. c.,
high school speed merchant, took
shovel pass from Lester Gate
wood of Georgia and swept end
for Al yards to the Cloudbuster rs,
from where Joe Michael Of Penn
passed to Charlie Mehelich for the
touchdown.
After that cambridge offensive
thrust, the Cloudbusters sudden
ly found themselves and rolled up
two quick scores to go ahead. Otto
Graham passed SO yards to Leway
on the cambridge AZ and the fleet
back Travelled the rest of the way
untouched. Less than a minute
later, Bill Wilson picked up Hip
pity Hops tumble on the IS and
seooted across. Buell. st. John
kicked both extra points.
Late in the final stanza, Char
lie Kalbaeher plunged over from
the four to end the scoring for
both teams and give Pre-Flight
Its final tally. St. John missed the
point try. johnson plunged over
from the four to climax a 46-yard
drive to get the Commodores third
touchdown. Cheatham passed ~
yards to vandewecghe for the
fourth, passed 10 yards to Vande.
weghe for a fifth, and Justice
swept down the sidelines for &c
yards after taking a pass from Mi
chaels for a sixth. H. E. Klinken-
lberg covered Hops kick in the
end zone after several Pre-Flight-
ers had touched it for a safety in
the third.
