Farmers Warned

Haying operations mark the be-
ginning of a season when farm ac-
cidents run high, cautions Geo. M.
Worrilow, associate director of the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service and vice-president for
Farm Safety of the Delaware
Safety Council. He points out
that haying machinery with high
speed cutting mechanism and
gears is operated in a busy season
when chances for accidents mount
rapidly.
To assure safety and avoid lost
time, the first step is to check
equipment carefully before haying
starts. Watch out for defective
bitches, ropes, pulleys, lifts, hay
racks or ladders. See that loft

Is Your Child a Self-Feeder
or Not?

For many months the baby is
content to be fed. Sometimes, how
ever, early interest in the spoon
NAV appear even as early as seven
months. If that is so, allow the
infant to play with spoon while
feeding him. This encouragement
will reap future rewards, but it will
require many months before the
baby is able to fill the spoon and
carry its contents to his mouth
without dropping the food. How
ever, spilling accidents should be
cheerfully ignored. Between eigh-
teen and twenty-four months great
progress in self-feeding is made.
Some children are adept with fork
at two years but spoon or fingers
are usually preferred. The complex
ity of knife and fork is achieved
by quite few fve-year-old tykes.
Some children change from
strained to junior foods without any
trouble; others require period of
gradual education. Usually at about
eight months or so these coarser
foods are introduced. At that time
1t may be wise to include small
amount of the junior foods, together
with a serving of the strained foods
which the baby knows and enjoys.
It is necessary for q child to eat a
variety of foods, to learn to chew
properly and exercise his teeth and
gums. Junior foods are specially
made foods for toddlers. They in

BZOOnlIn' Good
Picturesque Festival Revives
Quaint Customs of Homeland

Hollands common council gave i'm
petus to the program by appropriate
ing funds for importation of 100, 900
tulip bulbs from Holland to be plant
ed along street curbs and in masses
In city parks.
Tulips in Bloom.
The festival, timed to coincide
with full blooming of the tulips, was
inaugurated that year. Success of
the venture led to decision to make
1t an annual event, eventually ex-
tended to an eight-day period every
year. Abandoned during war years,
the festival was revived last year as
a four-day affair.
AS added attractions, the festival
eventually was developed to include
the wearing of Dutch costumes and
a revival of old Netherlands Gus
toms and traditions.
Wooden shoe carvers who had
not practiced their trade since
leaving the Netherlands were
coaxed out of retirement. Now
they spend the entire year cut
ting the clumsy-appearing prod
ucts from poplar logs. Children
especially enjoy the noisy foot
gear and older residents are
taught street dances so that the
klompity-klomp of the wooden
shoes on the pavement is one
of the interesting events to Tulip
Time visitors.
Acres of blooming tulips on nearby
tulip farms, displays of authentic
Dutch arts and crafts in the Meth
erlands museum, films of old and
new Holland, typical Dutch mar
ket, costumed parades, band con-
certs and other musical events help
to round out full program for each
of the four days of Tulip Time.

'Visit a vet in a hospital on
National Hospital Day-and re-
member him every day."
This plea to remember vet
Grams who still bear the scars
of conflict for service to their
country in time of need will be the
theme of National Hospital Day on
Monday, May IL, according to John
H. Hayes, president of American
Hospital association, sponsors Of the
annual observance.
Cooperating in the days activities,
hospitals throughout the United
States, Canada and many other
countries will sponsor special pro-
grams, open houses, tours, exhibits,
displays and other activities de-
signed to acquaint the community
with their progress and service. In
conformance with the "Visit Vet"
theme, many veterans hospitals will
hold special programs this year.
National Hospital Day, found
ed In 1921, commemorate the
birthday anniversary Of Flof:
ence Nightingale, the English
nurse whose efforts during the
Crimean war focused attention
ON the need for development Of :
hospital and nursing services.
In announcing plans for the event,
Hayes pointed to the increased de-
mand for hospital care during the
last 10 years. In 1889, he pointed out,

new homes in western Michigan.
While the theme of Tulip Time will
be the centennial, commission has
been appointed to direct plans for
a four-day centennial celebration
starting August 10. Featuring the
program will be pageantry and 'ex-
hibits depicting the history of the
Dutch settlers and their contribu-
tons to American civilization.
To commemorate the Dutch mi
grafton of 1847, the Holland Centen-
NAL commission is conducting a
nationwide essay contest on the SUBJ
ject, "The Influence of Dutch Set
Element on American Civilization. ("
Separate contests are announced for
high school seniors and for college
or university students. Top prizes
in both contests are three trips to
the Netherlands and three trips to
Holland, Mich.
Tulip Time, a festival which
makes Holland the mecca for
thousands of visitors every May,
is the outgrOwth of a suggestion
by Miss Ida Rogers, Holland
high school teacher, that the city
be beautified by the wholesale
planting of single type of flow
er.
The proposal Immediately gained
momentum, the solidly Dutch citi-
zenry naturally picking the tulip as
the flower for the project. In 1929

don't believe this is true. It may
have its appeal to few, inclined to
the mucker side, but not to the mass
of spectators, who go out to get
their thrills from hard fought bat
tie on the field, not to hear salvo
of billingsgate directed at some man
in blue. If this has become tradi-
ton, then it is tradition that should
be ended.
Fight and aggreSsiveneSs are a
big part Of the game, but they should
be directed against the opposing
team, not against an able arbiter,
whose average of ability is too often
well above the average Of the ball
players skill.
Umpires today are carefully Sc
lected and well trained. Their rec
ord for honesty in the last 40 years
surpasses any other record in sport.
Proud of Profession
They have an amazing pride in
their work, in calling each play as
they see it. Pride in their profess
sion is something that not all man.
ayers and ball players have. Many
have-but too many do not. Other
wise, many more ball players would
be in far better physical shape both
before and during the baseball sea-
son.
The managerial or player squawk
is usually an alibi, either for lack
of physical skill or cover-up for
missing brain cylinders. No smart
fan ever falls for this corny hokum,
this attempt to shift the blame.
The umpire's decision is final. A
dozen prOfane Babels can't change
it. Right or wrong, it is the way he
saw it. And the umpire is in the
spot to see it better than anyone
else. He is certainly in a far bet
ter spot than bowling fans, $50 to.

Cardinals Don't Argue


Neither Southworth nor Dyer will
stand for any such rowdy tactics.
And what team has been the most
aggressive outfit in baseball for the
last 10 years? You know the an
swer. The Cardinals. But they
take out their aggressiveness in hus-
tie and scrappiness on the field.
Their opponents are the other teams
not the umpires.
No umpire ever heard Walter
Johnson make any sort of kick.
"In a sudden lapse, called a
pitch that almost split the plate a
ball against Walter Johnson" Billy
Evans told me. johnson never even

mistake. Yes, I knew it was a
strike johnson said, but we all

Ted Williams. He went to bat with
two on and took a third strike. No
squawk.
WAS that "a good one?" l asked
him.
YES" Ted said. "It cut the out
side corner by an inch. It fooled
me. 1t was a swell pitch"
That's the way baseball should be.
The great majority of the big names
in the game are that way. They
don't have to throw their alibis at
the umpire. Cy Young, Mathewson,
Alexander, Johnson-four of the
greatest of all pitchers. never had
any umpire trouble.
If ball players want to show their
aggressiveness, why not score from
first on a single to center to win
world series, as Country Slaugh-
ter did? Or run bases as the Cardi-
nails run bases? ''H -
