were responsible
for 1913 deaths. The seven dead
liest diseases killed only 1Q064l
Accidents kill more children every
year than these seven diseases
combined
And what about the crippling
accidents? 10000 to $4,000 children
in the United States are perman-
emily crippled by accidents each
year
Up To Months
The very little baby must rely
Of the adults around him for pro-
lection. A baby should never be
left alone on anything from which
he can fall, nor left alone in the
tub for any reason at all, for he is
helpless in water You will also
want to watch that he does not
suck on toys painted with lead
paints, and that he does not have
access to small objects which can
be swallowed.
A Year And More:
When the baby starts to crawl
and climb, go through the house
with an eagle eye for all possible
hazards. Remove all small objects
(Le'll try to put them in his
MOUTH, cleaning agents, matches,
baTbiturates and cigarettes from
his reach. See that his own chair
and table are sturdy and steady.
Start training him now by keeping
him out of the kitchen when you
are working there (or else in a
play pen); do not have his bed
beside a window, and see that all
screens are securely locked in
place
The Terrible TWOss
This is the age when the baby is
becoming yOungster; he can walk
quite well, and he can run-sOme-
times faster than you can. He is
reaching out for new experiences.
He is adventurous, but he still
needs the loving eye of his parents
to watch over him. His playthings
should not include knives or any
thing sharp, electrical equipment
or matches. Building blocks, kitch-
en- pots and pans, and empty card
board boxes are considered safe
play things.
Youngsters this age love to
climb and play with and in water
Teach him that he isn't unsinkable
and that water in his nose and
mouth may not be pleasant. Draw
a line between what he can do by
himself and what he may be 9ri-
vileged to do when you are present.
Don't heckle him, but teach him
how to protect himself; let him
learn by small bruises. so he won't
experience the tragedy of serious
injury.
Three And Thriving:
Your three-year-Old. thanks to
devoted, thoughtful care, is sure
and nimble on his feet. He can now
understand reasons for safety mea-
sures and take verbal direction
although he may, on principle, be
against z out of things you are
for. But he is still too young to
cross a street alone. He must never
be permitted to play where he is
tempted to run out into the street
between parked cars.
He can be given simple errands
to do around the house or yard
but not to carry knife or any
thing heavy, especially anything
which would break if he dropped
it. When you take him walking
you can tell him about the traffic
lights. He can also be taught to
put his playthings away when
playtime is over for the day-to
see that no toys are left on stairs
and steps. or an the floor of room
or hall where someone might trip
and fall.
Try to make a game of being
safe. Ration your "don'ts". Make
safety fun and your youngsters will
have fun being safe.

Laurel Race Course
To Feature Big Race

The world famed Washington.
d. c. International, the worlds
most unique and most expensive
horse race, will be held for the
third time this fall on the afternoon
Of November 3, closing day of
Laurels annual fall meeting.
In the short space Of two years.
this invitatiOnal event has matufed
IN stature and prominence to such
an extent that it is now classed as
one Of the worlds nine best races
by committee composed of mem
bers from each nation where
4 thoroughbred racing is conducted
The same conditions which held
true for the first two runnings will
prevail in November. Participation
is by invitation only to three-year-
\ olds and upward who will race a
mile and a half over LaurePs grass
course. Scale weights prevail and
the field is dispatched from a walk
up start rather than the customary
gate used in this country.
The purse is S65,00 of which the
winning horse earns a fiat $50. 600.
But since the Laurel management
pays the entire expenses Of each
horse and it's personnel flown here
for the race, total outlay of near
ly Sl75.OO0 is involved whereas the
top races in this country, money
wise, run around 100000 to the
associations conducting them. And,
since the Washington, d. c. Inter
national starters are invited, horse
men throughout the world do not
have to pay any mountaineering
entering, starting or other fees in
effect in those 100000 added fea-
lures.
Foreign bids are handled by a
committee headed by John D Scha-
pirO, Laurel's president who Origi- |
mated this race Invitations to

Caught BY Surprise.
Mrs. Owens was surprised
when the city and the Federal
Government, which financially
backs such "slum- clearing" pro-
jects. said they were going to
take her property.
It's been in her family for
longer than 100 years Her
grandparents ran a mill there
during the Civil War. The TRAN
gle was passed on to Mrs. Owens
through her mother. Other
branches of the family inherited
different plots of the land. The
