BASKETBALL IN WATER.
New Game Proposed to Supplant
Rough Rugby Polo.
A new game basketball in the wa
teris to make its first appearance
this winter. The sport will embody
the game of Rugby polo without the
"objectionable points and will have all
of the good points of basketball. It
will be known as "basket polo."
Norman Cox, swimming instructor
of the Chicago Athletic association, is
the author of the new game and has
framed a set of rules for it
Twelve players, according to the
rules, six on a side, will engage in the
game. The area of the playing pool
willbe not less than 40 feet long and
20 feet wide nor more than 100 feet
long and 50 feet wide. '
Baskets fourteen inches in diameter,
on a background four feet high and five
feet wide, will form the goals, the tops
of which shall not be more than five
feet above the surface of the water
nor more than eight and one-half feet
from the bottom of the pool at the
shallow end.
Points will be made by allowing
three points for .a field goal and one
for a goal from a free trial. The
game will be played by halves of
twenty minutes each..
NAVY UNCOVERS WONDER.
Name, Leonard; Weight, Only 142;
Speed, Lightning.
Leonard, the lightest man on the
Naval academy squad, has been doing
some brilliant work iu the back field
during practice, and his ability as a
runner, coupled with the fact that he
is distinctly the best punter on the
squad, makes him sure of playing
tgutnftt the Army team.
He weighs but 142 pounds, but has
the greatest amount of natural half
back ability of any Navy player this
year.
Pittsburgh's Trio Made Great Record.

Shadeless Forests.
Large tracts of dense forests In Aus
tralia are practically shadeless. Many
kinds of trees in that strange country
turn their edges instead of the flat sur
face of the leaves to the sun, and thus
one may stand under a tree of enor
mous size and be as fully exposed to
the sun as though be were in the open
plain. Travel through these forests Is
said to be exceedingly arduous work,
as the trees, while they do not cut off
the sun, prevent the breeze from reach
ing the ground, and thus the traveler
experiences a stifling heat.

Timely Hints on Care of Baby.
What mother does not long to give
her baby all the advantages possible
for normal development? Yet there
are many, having had no special train
ing for motherhood, who neglect meth
ods best adapted for a child's welfare.
Take the .question .of pure air foi
babies. Many a mother thoughtlessly
allows her. baby to stay in a heated
room in which there .are several oc
cupants.. With' so. many people breath-
.. tag this sameatmosphere it soon has
its oxygen eshanstedTand fTIs not an
uncommon thing to see the baby yawn
and become fretful those who un
derstand this cause either Immediate
ly change the air in the same room
or take the little one Into another room
that has been specially aired, that he
may regain his composure. For this
same reason it is imperative for grown
ups to avoid keeping the baby in rooms
where household duties are being per
formed, as the odors from cooking, the
dust from sweeping and the steam
from washing all rob the air of the
freshness so beneficial to the health
of an infant. Busy mothers especially
should see the advantage of training
a baby to stay in one place, and that
place should be made clean and well
ventilated. Frequent trips to this
room can be made between tasks, to
change positions and to look after his
comfort.
Even in cold weather indoor airings
of fifteen minute periods should be
given to babies. They should be com
menced when the little one is a month
old. and an excellent way to keep him
warm is to put him into his coat
leggings and bonnet and then tuck
him into his crib or carriage oeneath
some warm," light weight covering and
place him face forward toward the
widely opened windows. Care should
be taken to see that ail doors In this
room are kept closed to prevent
drafts. V
It is not universally recognized that
the constant supply of pure air for the
tiny lungs of the baby is fully as im
portant as his food. Fresh, pure air is
required to renew and purify his blood,
and the beneficial effects produced by
it are good temper, red cheeks and an
Improved appetite.
Just when it Is safe to begin taking
a baby out of doors in winter is a
question often asked by the young
mother. It is wiser to wait until he
Is three months old and then only on
pleasant days. . He should be tucked
snugly into his carriage and kept In
the sunshine, out of the wind., with
the precaution always of shading his
eyes from the sunlight. Days when
It Is very cold or when the winds are
heavy should be avoided, and a nap
in an open air sleeping room substi
tuted. When babies are out of doors
they should be constantly watched to
see that they are not suffering from
cold, as it is important that a baby's
bodily heat should be maintained. It
is well for mothers to remember that
many of the diseases of infant life are
directly attributable to overheated and
vitiated air. so that riding in electric
or steam cars in winter or the carry
ing of children into department stores
is done with attendant risks.
Six Don'ts For Mothers.
Haven't you seen mothers, not only
the young, inexperienced mothers, but
women of mature years who are old
enough to know better, constantly do
ing things to their children that make
you want to shake them and if pos
sible bring them to a sense of realiza
tion of the error of their ways?
Mothers will persist in allowing
themselves to grow old in feeling. Of
course they cannot stay the passage
of years, but they can keep young in
thought by making themselves a com
panion to their children, joining in
their play as well as the more serious
phases of their lives.
Mothers must take care not to let
themselves rust mentally. The grow
ing girl and boy who can have mother
help them out of a tight place in their
lessons or can go to her for a clear an
swer to a perplexing question rarely
get that disagreeable know it all air
so common to young America.
Never try to force your children's
confidence. If you have tried to be
the chum of your child from the start
the confidence will be given unsolicit
ed. Confidences that are asked or de
manded are always given grudgingly
and with a sense of resentment when
they are not refused altogether. Chil
dren never confide willingly in an un
sympathetic mother. The moment a
child realizes he will be criticised or
scolded for the little mistakes he makes
he will hide everything possible from
the mother, but if he is sure of her
ready sympathy the confidence will be
given unasked.
Avoid allowing a child to see that
you are disappointed in him. There Is
no surer road to self consciousness and
the don't care attitude than if the boy
and girl feel that mother thinks them
a failure.
On the other hand, don't think your
children are prodigies. Children du
ally know they are not the human
wonders their fond mothers - believe
them to be. and when they are con
stantly exploited they are bound to be
conscious of embarrassment and being
under a strain show up to bad advan
tage. And if the child agrees with the
maternal opinion he becomes a bore
and disgustingly conceited.
OBSTINACY.
There is something in obstinacy
which differs from every other hu
man passion. Whenever it fails it
never recovers, but either breab
like iron or crumbles sulkily away
like a fractured arch. Most other
passions have their period of fatigue
and- rest, their sufferings and then
cure, but obstinacy has no resource,
and the first wound is mortal.

ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes,
offices, shops and other places needing light.
Electricity can be used in any quantity, large or
small, thereby furnishing any required amount of light.
Furthermore, electric lamps can be located in any place
thus affording any desired distribution of light.
No Qther lamps possess these qualifications, there-'
fore it is not surprising that electric lamps are rapidly
replacing all others in modern establishments.

Judge Dimick, who is representing
the Clackamas Southern, declares that
the Southern Pacific has no right to
try to prevent the other company from
crossing Fifteenth Street. He says
the Southern Pacific has no franchise
and is operating under a permit grant
ed the Oregon Central Railway Com
pany hy the city in 1868.. The city
council has grantpd the Clackamas
Southern a franchise to lay tracks on
certain streets.. Judge Dimick says
the company he represents will not
even have to ask permission of the
Railway Commission to cross the
Southern Pacific tracks.
. At a meeting of the city council
The Portland Railway Light &
Power Co.
MAIN STREET in the BEAVER BLDG.
held in Neyember this year a resolu
tion declaring that the Southern Pa
cific Company had no .franchise for a
track on a portion of Center Street
and that the trestle at Twelfth Street
be removed, was adopted.
It was announced that the Southern
Pacific would immediately proceed to
secure a temporary restraining order
in the event of an effort being made
by the Clackamas Southern to put the
crossing in. It was reported, but de
nied by the officers of the company,
that the Clackamas Southern had its
plans made to select a Sunday as the
day to put in the crossing, knowing
that the Southern Pacific could obtain
no injunction on that day. It is evi
dent that the Southern Pacific Com
pany will spare no expense in placing
every possible obstacle in the way of
the Clackamas Southern in its effort
to cross the Southern Pacific tracks
to get out of the city.

the children to bring bottles of boiled
water with them today. None of them
will be allowed to use any . of the wat

The children also were urged to use
none but water that had been boiled
at their homes.
The Board of Water Commissioners
at a meeting Monday night discussed
the typhoid epidemic, and it was an
nounced that Superintendent Howell
had sent samples of the city water to
chemists for analyses and expected
at least one report Wednesday. Th'e
commissioners do not think the water
is the cause of the disease but want
to take every precaution to prevent
its spread. A report that the filters
had not been cleaned as often as they
should be was riduculed for they are
cleaned at least three times a day.
The samples are being analyzed by
chemists in Portland and at the state
university.
