Bill Harrill Does
Spectacular Catch
WAKE FOREST, May 5.—Bill
Harrill, Wake Forest freshman out
fielder, combined baseball and track
ability to make the greatest catch
ever seen in baseball here.
Harrill, centerfielder of the Baby
Deacon team, turned in his specta
cular catch during a game with
Duke’s freshmen.
The track team had been prac
ticing early in the afternoon in the
far reaches of Gore Field. A Duke
batter drove an apparent extra
base hit to that sector and Harrill
gave pursuit. A hurdle was in tire
way—he leaped nimbly over the
hurdle and stuck up his gloved
hand to nab the ball while he was
f still in the air.
Harrill also starred at bat. He
hit a homer with three on. Duke's
yearlings won the game, 12-6.

Russia Threatens|
Both Are Now On Same Side Of
Fence For First Time In
Ages.
By c. y. McDaniel
NANKING, China—(JP)—Conclus- |
ion of a military pact between Rus- J
sia and Outer Mongolia is seen here
as a possible turning point in the
history of northern Asia, marking
as it does the first time in a decade
that China and Japan are on the
same side of the fence.
Japanese activities in Manchuria
and Russian efforts in Mongolia
have been only superficially similar,
although both have resulted in the
painting with new colors of hun
dreds of thousands of square miles
blocked out in yellow on generally
accepted maps of the Chinese em
pire.
The Mongols under Genghis and
Kublal Khans conquered China and
subjugated the Chinese. Modem
China never has boasted the con
quest of Mongolia. Mongol princes
in the 17th century acknowledged
the suzerainty of the Manchu em
perors of China but continued to en
joy an autonomy not allowed the
subjugated Chinese. But when the
infant Emperor Pu Yi, last of the
Manchus, climbed down from the
Dragon Throne, the Mongols con
sidered their only link with China
broken.
Mongols Retained Autonomy.
Conscious of czarist Russia’s im
perialistic glances in their direction,
however, the Mongols avoided a
clean break with the new born Chi
nese republic, achieving a state of
autonomy which acknowledged Chi
nese sovereignty, Russian special
interests and the right of self-gov
ernment by the Mongols.
China seized the opportunity of
fered by the Russian revolution to
cancel Mongolian autonomy and
send a Chinese army norhtward.
The Chinese were slaughtered and
the Living Buddha of Urga set up
as "Holy Duke” claiming the allegi
ance of all outer Mongolian princes.
In the course of driving the White
Russians out of Siberia, the Bolshe
viks gained control of the "Holy
Duke,” establishing independent
Outer Mongonia.

Mother's Day Sees New Ideas
In Use To Save Mothers Lives
NEW YORK.. May 5.—(A’)—Nine
great advances in ease ol mother/ 1
hood been made by Lhe-medi
cal profession In the last 25 years.
Since last Mother's Day other new
ideas have been put forward, experi
mental and not ready for accept
ance, but all pointing to accelera
tion toward the goal of hardier, hap
pier motherhood.
Eclampsia, the convulsions which
caused frightful suffering, have
become almost a rarity. Unnumber
ed lives have been saved by the
elimination of this single complica
tion.
Coupled with ridding womanhood
of this risk are Increasing knowl
edge of diet, vitamins and gland
products for this period. The great
diet change lies in feeding starchy
foods, eggs and milk with fresh
vegetables. Formerly the expectant
mother was fed on “delicacies” even
if they nearly killed her.
Third is the effort to alleviate
pain. This began with the much
heralded twilight sleep. It is not
solved. The trouble with all artifi
cial pain relief is risk of injury to
the baby. But the recent analges
ics, or pain relievers, known as bar
biturates, are making progress.
Fourth, and more dramatic than
any other, is the dating of mother
hood. Within a week to 10 days aft
er conception It is possible now for
a physician to know that mother
hood is on its way. One method con
siderably used is to note secretions
of the pituitary gland, at the base
of the brain. They change, and in
jected into immature female mice
they give visible evidence.
Transfusions are the fifth boon.
They save many lives and much
suffering.
X-rays have removed the danger
from one worrisome question—the
chance of a Caesarian operation.
The rays warn definitely when it is
needed and long enough in ad
vance to perform the operation rnorr
sal\ly. The result is that once rare
Caesarian operations are now no
more dangerous than other abdomi
nal operations.
Anemia is another hobgloblin
nearly gone. It may art e from the
unborn child drawing heavily on
[the mother for essential element
for skeleton building. Feeding lime
jsalts, or milk with plenty of root
j vegetables, replenishes the store.
| The flnlly sickness for weeks or
imontns that has bepn a burden for
many njother is now mostly re
lieved. Its cause was a toxic con
jdition, trom food. Adding raibohy
i drates to the diet is one treatment.
