C. Wing, of & seventh *Te&u«, Ininmn j
Eadi of Soger’s parents 'waa issued ^
a cood liealth certificate before their ^
marriage in the State of New York
in Jime, 1911. There is no law in New'
York State regarding health certifi
cates at miirriage, but the parents of
tke jrooBg people and they themselves ,
decided it would be a good thiril; to'
be exanined by a physician. Each
was given a medical certificate show
ing them to be 100 per cent, healthy.
Young Boger arrived in this world
on July 31, ldl3. Soon afterward the
Wing family came to Atlanta to make
this city their haao.
Of' course Roger's mother thinks
he is a wonderful c^d. So does Bog-
er’s father, and Soger himself, though
he isn’t able to tell about it yet, crows
his jow at being appreciated. But
there are other people who think so,
too, and for these reasons:
1—Roger hasn’t had to be “walked"
at night since he was bom.
2—He was given a certificate of
100 per cent, at the recent child wel-
t^tTo exhibit.
3—^He cries on the average of only
once in four days.
4—From a lying position he can
raise himself to a sitting posture vHth
ease.
5—^He never cries to be picked up.
6—He sJseps by himself at night.
7—He weighs 19 pounds at his age
of a little ovei five months, while from
19 to £1 pounds is the average weight
for a baby of one year. Immediately
after his birth he gained at the rate
of a pound a week.
Mrs. Wing explains Eoger’s precoc
ity with rarious reasons. For one
thing, he is seldom handled. From
never being picked up when he cries,
the two ihings are disassociated in
his mind, ard be never cries to be
picked
If he cria? he is given a drink of
water or hss face is washed or the:
pin is moved from where it was stick- ■
ing his soft neck. He is fed every
three hours on the dot. He sleps out-,
doors in the daytime and by an open:
window at night, wherefore he has,
never had a bad cold or been sick in |
the least.
Wiien Tvli's. Wing wants to she can
tack Boger in his crib and go into
some other room in the house, leav
ing her young son alone for hours.
H» never cries and on her return is
looking drearaingly at the ceiling,
(freaming whatever babies dream of
and making soft noises in his throat.
Mrs. Wing says she has no special
pisns for the rearing of the “eugenic
baby," save to make him a normal
American boy, as clean as possible
in soul, mind and body.
"They say a school teacher can not
make a good mother,” she says. “Bui
I used to be one, and 1 think Boger
can prove that old saying is wrong.
Just look at him now.”
Koger wa^ chuckling happily and
lustily kicking the crib-clothes all ov
er the floor.

Clark CansttA Attend Calvert
Dinner.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 20.—Speak
er Clark’s declination of an inivitation
to attend a Democratic dinner tomor
row evening at Calvert Hail, at which
Secretary Bryan is to be a guest, stir
red up sc much t:ammotion that the
Speaker issued a characteristic state
ment.
Published reports had connected
the Speaker’s declination with the
presence of Secretary of State Bry
an, and echoes of the Baltimore Con-
mention. The Speaker did not sig
nify this suggestion with a reference.
“i have cut all dinners and func
tions except those Ifeel under obli
gations to attend in my official ca
pacity,” said the Speaker, “I did this
for two reasons; 1—^Because I have
not time to attend them. I have too
much to do. 2—Mr. SpofiFord, so long
librarian of Congress, once told me
that most pablie men and Army acd

Bingham can'i ts today were fined for
assault in th court of a local magis
trate and announcement was made at
the school tonight that four students
had been expelled for hazing.
The cadets who paid fines in court
were L. L. Tayior, 110 and one-third
of the ca.^ts; Kat Grammer and Louis
Read, $3 and one-third of the costs
each. The magistrate was unable to
give the place of residence of the stu
dents and at the school the iriforma-

The authorities at Bingham refus
ed to disclose the identity of the four
students who were expelled. At the
beginning of the term each student
signed a pledge to refrain from haz
ing and Colonel Bingham announced
today that all students who were un
willing to live up to the pledge could
leave school, None took advantage
of the opportunity to withdraw.
The name of the student who was
the victim of the alleged haters is
Louis Beed, of Horse Cave, Kentucky.

Shields issuefi a statement, declaring
he had acted in self-defense and in-
diifated he aid not expect any after-
math. The trouble started whiie a
