The foot ball season might be over in so far as the sports
writers are concerned, but for this fourth-grade student at the
Ben Murch School the popular sport is good until marble and
base ball weather. He is Raymond Leeth, 9, son of Mr. and Mrs.
R. G. Leeth, 3511 Davenport street. Tomorrow: Bernie Levin,

Social Recognition for Coiv,
Aim of Chicago Business Men
inc «5*oci»ira nrss.
CHICAGO. January 11.—A group
*>f staid Chicago business men will sit
down at a banquet at a Loop hotel
tomorrow night and see what they
can do to get some social recognition
for the plain cow that does a good Job
cf giving milk.
Too long, they say they feel, have
the cows that answer to the name of
Bossy been denied places in the social
register of cowdom, while others, with
names like Princess Eugenie III, have
found it easy to win recognition with
high-class names and aristocratic
family history.
Hence they have Just finished or
ganizing a local branch of the Amer
ican Dairy Cattle Cluhs, of which
John D. Rockefeller Is one of the
founders. Recognition of the worthy
plain cow Is the club's object. The
local group, known as the Chicago
Farmers, Is made up of 291 Loop busi
ness men who own farm land.
They hold that all a cow has to do
to get on their lists Is to give a lot of
milk.
j. Kocxeiener prentice, president or
the Chicago group, hope* to tell hU
fellow members of plana to give Bossy
the recognition he feels she should
have.
He says he has records showing that
of the 400,000 cattle In the dairy herd
Improvement associations of the United
State* 325,000 can’t get Into the cow
social register of the pure-bred cattle
organization*.
Even before they're bom, Prentice
says, they’re doomed to get the '’high
hat" from the cows that are long on
pedigrees.
Fox Snared in Church.
Frightened by a itrange noise, chil
dren visiting Sonna Church, County
Westmeath, Irish Free State, at night,
told Lawrence Keegan. He found a
fox on the altar steps. With the aid
of a fishing rod, to the end of which
he attached a snare, he captured the
animal.
Case History of Symptoms
of First President’s Ill
ness Prepared.
Br the Associated Tress.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., January 11.—
A case history, presenting a record of
all symptoms of the last Illness of
George Washington, has been pre
pared by Dr. Creighton Barker, a
member of the clinical staff of the
Yale Medical School.
In compiling the history In the
form of a present-day clinical record,
Dr. Barker said today, he gained most
of his facts from the diary of Tobias
Lear, Washington’s secretary.
Record Would Be Terse.
This example of how modem physi
cians would describe Washington’s
death was made public last night by
the Yale Journal of Biology and Med
icine, which publishes It in Its current
issue:

months. First seen at 4 a.m., Decem
ber 14, complaining of difficulty In
breathing and swallowing, aphonia,
soreness and pain In the neck.
“Family history:
“Father dead, age 49, pneumonia.
Mother dead. Remainder of family
history vague and Irrelevant.
"Past history:
“Patient had led a vigorous and
rugged outdoor life, had had smallpox,
dysentery, malaria and pneumonia.
After the age of 50 had carious teeth
that necessitated complete removal.
Eye-sight failed early. There is some
evidence of recurrent attacks of Iritis.
Rode Over Farm in Rain.
"Present Illness:
“The present Illness dates from De
cember 12, when the patient, as was
his custom, rode about his farm from
10:30 a.m. to 3 pm. The day was
inclement with rain, snow and sleet.
When he came in it was noticed that
his clothing was wet and snow was
hanging from his hair. It being late,
he went to dinner without changing
his clothes. Retired early, rested well.
The next morning, December 13, he
complained of a sore throat, but went
out of doors marking trees. When he
came in he was quite hoarse, but
otherwise normal, and read aloud for
some time to his family. It was sug
geated that he take something for his
cold, but he replied: 'No, you know ?
never take anything for a cold. Let
it go as It came.’ Retired early.
“At 3 a.m.t December 14, he awoke
In a chill and Informed his wife that
he had the ague. He could hardly
speak, and breathed with difficulty.
While attempting to swallow a mix
ture of molasses, vinegar and butter
he was ‘convulsive and almost suffo
cated.' A pint of blood was let, and
sal volatile was gently rubbed on the
throat. The patlenc complained that
the pressure of the rubbing hurt him,
and it was discontinued. A piece of
flannel soaked in sal volatile was
bound about the neck. Shortly after
4 a m. the patient was seen by Dr.
Craik, who found him sitting up bath
ing his feet in hot water. Changing
position from lying down to sitting
up had not relieved the dyspnea, and
he was put back to bed. At this time
the patient was feverish. Breathing
with difficulty, face flushed, pulse
rapid, mentally alert. Chest exam
ination negative. There is no record
of examination of the throat.
More Blood Taken.
“Dr. Craik applied a blister of can
tharides to the neck, took more blood
and prescribed a gargle of vinegar
and sage tea. In trying to gargle the
patient gagged severely and became
cyanotic. Inhalation of vinegar and
hot water was given, more blood was
let, swallowing became more difficult.
'‘Consultation was sought and Dr.
Gustavus R. Brown of Port Tobacco
and Dr. Elisha Dick of Alexandria vis
ited the patient, advising further
bleeding, and It was noted that 'the
blood came slow and thick.' Late In
the afternoon a full dose of calomel
and tartar emetic was given. Dyspnea
Increased. At 8 p.m. another blister
was applied to the throat and hot
wheat plasters to the leys and feet.
The patient sat up for a time, and In
full realization of his approaching
end gave his attention to various
property matters and to correcting his
will.
"The patient died between 11 and
12 p.m., December 14. He was con
scious until a few minutes before the
end, and one of his last acts was to
take his own pulse."
