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. Special Notices (16) WHERE CAN I GET SERVICE?

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. HARDWARE BLAKE- BROWN CO 129 Princess Street • ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES Phone 232 Legal Notices.

J0-26-tfc 42 STATES JOIN 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.
