think spiritually to gain the interpreted
ton and understanding of Christian
healing.
There are some who have found it
difficult to grasp the authors meaning
in their study of the Christian Science
text book. Indeed, there are some in
telligent people who have confessed to
this difficulty. On the other hand the
smallest school boy has been able to
gain sufficient understanding of its
teachings to heal himself and others
The seeming obscurity to the ripper in

said, Except We be converted, and be-
come as little children, We shall not
enter into the kingdom of heaven
We discover, therefore, certain need

this fact should portray the true char

Christian Science; for those childlike
qualities must have been uppermost in
her thought to discover so accurately

its true meaning of liberation and lib

gratitude of humanity.
How clear it is that a book is the
product of the authors mind. We can
know the mind of Shakespeare TODAY
by reading his books. We can discern
the kind Of man, whether he was good
or evil, by his writings. In like man
ner the purity of Mrs. Eddy's thought
is clearly portrayed by her writings,
for she is a faithful disciple of her own
teachings. To understand the works
is to understand the author, and it
follows that to understand the author
is to understand the works. This is
why Jesus said, No man can do a mir

evil of me-" and it follows Just as truly
that no one can lightly speak evil Of

SEES LAST OF BOUTS

Waukegan, Ill, May 5.-Due to az
tention attracted to this city by the
Coulon- Scully fight last week and the
criticism of ministers and others about
allowing fights that even Chicago
won't stand for, Sheriff Griffin an
nounces that he will put the lid on the
boxing exhibitions hereafter. He will
allow only the most harmless boxing
exhibitions hereafter and will act
against anything else.
He says he cannot allow even six
round bouts, as sometimes boxers are
knocked out in less than six. They
must not be fights anyway, only box
ing exhibitions. He takes this action
of his own accord and is not spurred
on by the governor or other officials.
as no complaints have been made to
him.
He charges that President Mccain of
the Cubs Athletic club overstepped an
agreement made with him regarding
the character of the shows to be al
lowed.

Over eight hundred Swedish Luther

the majority of the down town aggre-
CATION will be with the South Chicago

Chicago.
Should the local delegation be sue

SCHOOL CENSUS At
GARY IS FINISHED
If Estimate Rate is Used
City Has About Four
Thousand People.
EIGHT THOUSAND FAIR ESTIMATE
School Census Gives a Lot of Inter-
esting Data for the City
Fathers.
EIGHT THOUSAND FAIR ESTIMATE

The school census for the city of
Gary has been finished by Attorney
w. M. Dunn, who has had the matter
in charge and the grand total shows
1,4S0 children of the school age are in
Gary at the present time.
The result is surprising, considering
the fact that there are so many men
employed in the city who have not
moved their families to Gary. The re-
suits are more than satisfying to the
school authorities.
Result of Interest.
The result of the first census ever
taken in Gary is very interesting in
establishing the real size and the re-
markable growth of the city. 1t is safe
to say that the percentage of married
men whose families live outside OF
Gary is twice as great as in any of the
other cities of the Calumet region
This means that the number of school
schildren is correspondingly small. II
is usually accepted that the population
of a city is two and one-half times that
of its school population. That would
give Gary a population of but 300.
To double that amount would give
a liberal estimate of the population of
the city and this would indicate that
the claim of the Garyites that there are
$4,000 people in the city is greatly ex-
aggerated.
Taking the school census as the basis
it is doubtful if there are more than
5000 people in the new steel city and
it is question in the minds of some
people whether there are that many.
Gary Has Many FIOaters.
Gary has such a large floating popu-
1ation that busy season may mean the
addition of two or three thousand peo-
pie to the city or a dull season may
mean the loss of that number of the
residents of the city.
The school census has proven quite
an interesting basis for figuring the
marvellous growth of Gary and the fact
that nearly $500 school children are
now being educated in schools located
on sites where there was a wilderness
two years ago is one Of the marvels OF
the age.

SPORTING PICKUPS.

The Canadian sport of lacrosse has
been introduced at Stanford univer-
sity, California.
Tom Eek, the old tim trainer of ath-
letes, thinks horses are possessed of
less endurance than athletes.
William Davey has finished two
handsome new eight-oared shells for
Syracuse and the University of Penn
sylvania.
Jim Jeffries has been invited to ref
cree a fight at Fairbanks, Alaska, July
4, between two heavyweights and two
lightweights.
The University of Michigan loses one
of the crack team men. Frank P.
Davey, the senior engineer who is the
star quarter miller. was one of the sue
cessful candidates in the recent civil
service examination and will go to the
Philippines for the government.

LOCAL ATHLETES
IN FAST TRYOUT
Ambitious High School Athletes Circle Around the
Cinders at Harrison Park and Make
Good Records.

Despite the poor condition of the
track and the discouraging weather
the local high school tryout for the n.
I. A. l. meet was held in Harrison
park yesterday afternoon Taking ev-
erything into consideration exceeding
ly good time was made all around and
Hammond's prospects look very bright
for the big meet. Those taking first,
second and third in each event will be
entered in their respective events for
the northern Indiana meet, to be held
here May 26. On account of the facul-
ty ban placed upon Summers, the best
distance man in the state, we will lose
a few points but we have other good
men which we expect to make up for
this loss.
Gavit was not pushed in the $50 or
the mile, and would have made bet
ter time in either event. Captain
Evers was not in the tryouts on ac-
count of recent sickness. but he will
round into form before the meet. FL
lott showed excellent form in the hur-
dies, but was not pushed to his limit.
Hunter easily won the century and
22O-yard dash and could have clipped
a second OFF his time in the 220. On
account of the poor track two heats
were run in the 440 yard run, excep-
tional time being made in each, Elliott
winning the first race in a grand burst
of speed at the finish and winning from
Hunter by inches. In the second race
