SELECTION OF BUSH '
MAY MEAN PASSING
OF ROGER PECK
Veteran Infielder May Slide To
ward Minors With Promo
tion of Midget
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1! .—Report' lias
it that Roger Peckinpaugh is certain
to figure in a trade before the opening
of the 1923 campaign. The deal re
cently made, in which the Nationals
secured Shortstop Gagnon from De
troit, strengthens the belief.
When Peckinpaugh was secured
fi;om New York, it was the general im
pression that trfe would not only play
short, but also succeed George McBride
as manager of the Nationals. The fact
that Peckinpaugh had at times han
dled the Yankees with success, made
it seem all the more certain that Peck
was due for a managerial berth.
The appointment of Milan last year
was a big surprise. He was not figured
in the dope. Rumor has it that Peck
was much put out over the failure to
land the job and that it affected his
early season play.
The selection of Bush, merely re
gatded as a substitute last year, to
succeed Milan as leader of the Na
tionals. comes as even a greater sur
prise than Griffith's 1922 selection of
Milan.
It is certain that the passing up of
Peck for the second time will not tend
to make him enthuse over his pros
pects with the Nationals.
All of which makes It se«m that
Peck Is due to be traded if Griffith can
get suitable players in return. Since
Griffith values Peck highly as a player,
he will probably ask for something
worth while .from the club that seeks
the National’s star shortstop.

Bible Quells Chinese
Bandits When Guns Fail
SHANGHAI, Jan. 24.—A meek Amer
ican missionary iias proved that a soft
answer turneth away wrath—even
when that wrath is manifested by the
wildest and most desperate Chinese
bandits.
Seized by bandits and held in cap
tvity a 'ortnight, the Rev. H. K. N.
Hedgard proved the Bible is mightier
than the most up-to-date Colt or Mau
ser, converted many of his captors and
made his escape, according t° informa
tion just received here.
The Rev. Dedgard is Attached to the
China Inland Mission station at Shang
hai, in the secluded and remote prov
Ince of Honan.
While he was teaching- the natives, a
heavily armed, bandit horde descended
on the village
Sought Missionary’* Illood
The bandits plundered I-edgard's
home and put ft to the torch. They
would have murdered the missionary
and his family had it not been for the
aid of Christian Chinese.
These friendly natives hid Bedga.r.1
under a pile of "straw in a native tern
pie and assisted Mrs. Bedgard and her
son to escape in a market cart.
The two fugitives, after days of hard
traveling, reached the security of a
mission station in a more settled re
gion. i *
But Bedgard, when he emerged from
his hiding- place, fell into the bandits’
hands. He was forced to accompany
the party as it went pillaging through
the province. , . .
Instead of seeking to effect his es
cape, the missionary began preaching
to and teaching his bloodthirsty com
panions.
During the day he looked on scenes
of carnage and loot. In the evening
when the bandits were encamped or
quartered in a requisitioned village,
the missionary ministered to the sick
and wounded and then held religious
services.
Rapidly the attitude of the bandits
changed. At first they had been in
clined to kill the missionary to be rid
of him.
Bandit’s CBiwpJnln
But a respect for Dedgard, who spoke
Chinese fluently, befcame to grow in
the bandits’ heart. Attendance at his
services increased until he virtually
became chaplain of the band. Converts
were many.
Finally, with the aid of one of these
converts, Ledgard made his escape and
joined his wife and children.
Now, undismayed by their experi
ence, the Bedgards are planning to re
turn to Shanghai to resume their mis
sionary work.
But their case has been made the
subject of international demands c^n
the Pekin government for the suppres
sion of banditry in the inland prov
inces.
More than 1,000 different varieties
of wheat are known, and the number
is increasing constantly.

IN MOVE TO SAVE
BABIES OF NATION
Hygiene of Maternity and In
fancy is Sweeping Over the
Country
(By GRACE ABBOTT
(Chief of Children’* Bureau, I*. S. De
partment of Labor.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. ll.—The act
for the promotion of the welfare and
hygiene of maternity and infancy,
which became a law November 23, 1921,
authorized an annual appropriation of ;
not to exceed $1,240,000 for a co-oper- i
ative undertaking by the states and]
the federal government in the reduc
tion of our high maternal and infant
mortality rates.
Under the terms of the act, not to
exceed $50,000 is to be expended by the
children’s bureau for administrative
purposes. To any state accepting the
act $5,000 is immediately available: an
additional $5,000 is paid if matched
by the state appropriation; and the
balance of the federal appropriation is
allotted among the several states on
the basis of population and is availa
ble if matched by the state.
Up to date, 42 states have accepted
the terms of the act—-all excepting
Maine. Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
New York, Uouisiana and Washington.
Of the acceptances, 12 are by the
state legislature (New Hampshire,
Delaware. New Jersey, Maryland, Vir
ginia, South Carolina. Georgia, Ken
tucky, Mississippi, Minnesota, Oregon
and New Mexico). The others are by
governors pending the next regular
sessions of the legislatures. The ques
tion of acceptances will, therefore,
probably be considered in some 35
state legislatures that will be in ses
sion this year.
How States Operate
The state administration of the
benefits of the Sheppard-Towner act
is in charge of the child hygiene or
child welfare divisions of the state
boards or departments of health, or.
where such a division does not exist,
by the agencies designated by the
states.
State plans originate in the states
and are administered by the states
after approval by the federal board of
maternity and infancy, composed of
tlte chief of the children's bureau, the
surgeon-general of the United States
public health service, and the United
States commissioner of education.
Many states are starting out with
virgin soil as far as any public health
work In maternal care is concerned,
and they are, of course, planning quite
differently from the states which are
small in area, industrial in character,
possessing easy communication be
tween differentparts of the state and j
many local resource*.
They all have, I think, had a sense
of immediacy about what they were
doing, asking themselves what can be
lione tor the women who are going t'o
have babies this year and next, as well
as how to provide proper care In the
future.
One state whos.e counties are fairly
well organized for public health work
will place nurses in the organized
counties to devote themselves to ma
ternity and infancy care. This state
will also conduct prenatal and chlld
hygiene centers' and will supervise
midwives and maternity hospitals.
Another state will increase the num
ber of i'fc prenatal and well-baby clin
ics and \vill employ 80 public health
nurses to give half time to maternity
and infancy work and four nurses to
give full time with two field physicians
and six supervising nurses.
A third state will have a staff of
nurses large enough to make possible
a visit to all new-born babies and su
pervision of boarding- homes; it will ■
employ two social workers to give spS- j
clal attention to the problem of pre
venting unnecessary separation of
mothers and babies; it will offer pre-I
natal care and. instruction in infant |
care to mothers, and, will investigate !
maternal deaths, supervise midwives.
and co-operate with hospitals.
