that more money will be placed on the
middle weights than on any two men
who have locked horns in an important
puglllstic event since Burns and Squires

looks like such an even proposition that
nearly every sport is willing to take a
reasonable chance.
The price probably will remain at

would appear that PaDke eventually
victory over the former holder of the
middle weight title was so clean that
many of the local sports will ride right
with him in the belief that he is strong
enough to repeat.
On the other hand. Ketchel has ad-
mirers in plenty who firmly believe that
he is capable of beating Papke and that
his downfall last Labor day was the
result of a lucky punch in the opening
round. They argue that Ketchel will
be far more cautious this time and
that mis- wonderful strength will carry
him over the distance
RUMORED PAPkE BROKE ARM
There was a wild rumor along the
line last night to the effect that Papke
had broken his arm while boxing with
Red Cornett and that the fight must
be called off, This talk became so
strong that it was flashed on several
of the Fillmore street bulletin boards
and everybody took it for granted and
expressed their regrets.
But there was nothing 10 the story.
Paphe did not even do any boxing yes
terday. Instead, he stalled around on
the road at San Rafael and contented
himself with doing just enough work
to keep limbered up He was very
much vexed when he learned of the
broken arm story. but later he saw the
funny side of 1t and had his own little
laugh.
Papke will do his first real work and
don the mitts for the first time on Sun
day afternoon in order TO satisfy the
big crowd that is expected to make
the trip to San Rafael. He will have
Red Cornett, Jim Tremble and couple
more tough ones stal1ed out and ready
for the fray. He needs plenty of spar
ring partners and he will not be caught
mapping.

The looms are much the same that grandmoth-
ers mother knew. The size has been somewhat
reduced, but the principle has not altered any.
In fact. looms in all countries as far back as
they can be traced have the same mechanical de-
vices that are ingenousy elaborated to-day in
the high power carpet factories.
Weaving. no doubt, originated when some prime
val creature plated his her hair, and then
tried crossing three strands of heavy grass one
over the other. From mats and baskets came the
idea of interlacing wool threads, and SO cloth
invented Weaving in some form other, is
of the earliest signs of civilization.
1t might be argued that weaving is not an evil
dence of the advancement of intellectually. The
wonderful shaws which come from the far east,
and which we are quite unable to initiate,
made by peasant populace. And whoever has
turned over pictures illustrating the manufacture
of Turkish and Persian rugs is as much impressed
by the uncouthness of the makers by the sym
metry and imagination of the designs.
Crossing the Great Divide of this continent,
the Navajo and Moji Indians and the Mexican
blanket weavers to the south, are not leaders of
intellectual thought though they have established
blanket weaving as an industrial art. The old
squaws more wrinked than winsome This
isn't the fault of the weaving, however and there
is no gainsaying that rugs and tapestries and
draperies and all the other products of the loom
into which individuality is woven, have reac-I
tionary effect on daily life
In bingham, ardent handicraftsmen not long
ago discovered an old colonial loom lurking in the
recesses of a garret. 1t was dragged forth and
restrung, and now it is back at work again
Here, too Swedish linen weaving is done for

The process of preparation requires almost as
much time and skill the weaving itself To
warp the skeins of linen is the first step This
is done by arranging all the threads in even
lengths a device somewhat like a turnstile
which spins around carrying them from ton TO
bottom and back again. Thus the threads are
measured off accurately, while by means of ners

are strung on the loom.
The threads are thus
spaced accurately and
then made taut by being
stretched to the >Dnt
beam, and the weaver is
ready to start the cross
threads.
In introducing variegat-
ed shades, every other
thread can be raised by
pressing a pedal, and the
shuttle is thrown through
by hand, the operator
choosing the threads to
be crossed.
In embroidery work the

This cave led gradually down hill

The fact that Captain Cook discoy-

their later discovery by the Taft party
and finally by W. J. Bryan. The dis
covery OF human bones under ancient

certain cave discoveries. leads us to
conclude that eTaigra ton to these
islands began as early, at least as
500 A. D., and even long before this
period there must have been human
habitation, these pioneers having been
expelled from distant islands of the
south or southwest, or driven from
their course by ~konasv or southeriy
