ARE BOONuNG BORLESKE
FOR ALL AMERICAN TEAM

According to the Walla Walla
Statesman, a move mas been started
for the recognition of Vincent Bor-
leske, captain of the Whitman eleven,
by eastern critics with a view to Sc
curing his selection for the All Amer
lean team The campaign is backed
by Whitman students in Snnllane, who
will get expressions as to Borleske's
abilities and records from various au-
thorities and submit them to Walter
Camp, whose All-American team is
most generally accepted. The States
man fears that the effort will be
blocked by Pat" Macarthur, who has
selected the All-Northwest team by
the Oregonian and Spaulding football
guide for the past few years, and who
has never given the Missionary plung-
er a place. Borleske is undoubtedly
a remarkable player and would prob
ably make a reputation for himself
in any institution, but the enthusias-
tic attempt Of his supporters is more
commendable than judicious. Evil
IDENTIFY they are very unsophisticated
in the methods Of the powers that
pick and ignorant Of the fact that a
western star, no matter what his
magniture and brilliance is ever al
lowed to shine amongst that notable
body Of eastern luminaries known as
the All-American football team. But
three Pacific coast men have ever re-
ceived honorable mention by Camp
and Borleske should feel highly graf
flied If he is given a like distinction.

DENVER HAS CLUB
OF EXCLUSIVE DIVORCES

Denver, Colo-It has been learned
that a club made up exclusively of
divorced women has been in existence
for some time in this city. The fact
has been kept a secret and would
have remained so had not several
members become dissatisfied with the
decision of judge in a debate re-
garding whether a woman Is happiest
when she is first married or imme-
diately following her divorce. The
debate, to their minds, was not cor
rectly judged. and as a result they
talked and the secret leaked.
It is said a prominent Denver di-
vorcee is president of the club, and
that plans are being made to form
it into a national organization.
No divorcee is eligible for member
ship unless she is the recipient of at
least 800 a month alimony.

Bacon Hos.

The bacon type of hog has been de-
veloped under different conditions
and in sections where corn is not the
main farm crop. These breeds Of
hogs come from parts where clover,
peas. barley, oats, wheat products and
milk-all of which contain a relative
" lower per cent Of fat forming ele-
ments than corn. According to the
view generally accepted by physiolo-
gists. the fat which is scored in the
body may have its origin in the di-
rcstion of all three classes of nutri-
ents-proteids, carbohydrates and
fats-of the food. The two latter
however, form the main source of
heat and fat storage in all ordinary
rations
Continued feeding through many
generations on highly carbonaceous
food naturally might be expected to
beget a greater aptitude for the d.
gestion of such food, and consequent
ly. a greater tendency to fat storage
in the body. It is reasonable to be-
lieve that any of the bacon breed OF
hogs would lose their present char
acteristics is for a sufficient num-
Der of generations they were confin-
ed in the corn belt. Eventually they
would develop the fat-producing ten
dencies of the lard type. That Is a
conclusion that one would naturally
come to.

proposition of his tour when he ar
rives in this city He is to be invited

ira ballast and the result was that
he lay "sick with a fever" on board

ernor died shortly after a bout with
this punch. He was overtrained, the
doctors said.
The most recent distinguished vic
tim of the punch was Admiral Dewey.
He took some salad and chased it
with the punch. The admiral laid
his troubles to the salad
The punch is a Savannah invention.
It was first brewed for the Chatham
Artillery by local saloon keeper. 1t
proved such a good bit Of ammuni-
tion that it has been kept in the fam

ished as a valuable token from one
generation to another There is al

City of Mexico.-Dire woe is in
store for the American gum chewer.
In fact, his favorite non perishable
delicacy is threatened with extinction,
according to Franklin Canning, an
official of the American Chicle COM

chicle supply in this country.
Owing to the great demand and
consequent high prices, the chicle
growers of Yucatan have been tap

Unless new chicle forests are dis
