CARRARA QUARRIES WERE
SLOW In DEVELOPMENT

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.--An inter
esting description of the world-famous
Carrara marble of Italy is given in a
report by consular agent Felix A. Del
mas, who is stationed at Carrara.
What he says on the subject of wages,
however, gives no reason for congrat-
ulation to the poorly paid employees
who have to do with Carrara marble
Delmas says the daily wages, which
have been slightly increased within
the last few years, are, quarrymen as
cents to $193, mill operators As cents
to $1.15, marble cutters 3S to 81 cents,
studio workers and sculptors As cents
to 231 and boys 10 to 38 cents.
Contrary to general belief" Dclmas
reports, the Carrara mountains, or
Apuan Alps, are not composed en-
tirely of marble, although deposits oc
cur in sections parallel with the coast
for 40 miles. The jagged, rough, prec-
ipitous character of the Apuan Alps
and the peculiar geologic formation

BOSTON, Aug. 8.-Surgeons, aided
by the X-ray and strong forceps re-
moved the false teeth which Mrs. Car
RE Smith of Lynn swallowed. The OPP

1t was performed by Dr.. Carolus M
Cobb at the Lynn hospital and is
called the first of it's kind in New
England.
Following a method devised by DR..
Killian OF Berlin, the physicians put

of the deposits, which can be express
lively likened to tortuors, broken,
puzzle, difficult of access, account in
a great measure for the slow and uni
que manner in which the Carrara in
dustry has developed as compared with
the marble industry, in America
with no other tools than sledge
and wedge the Etruscans, two or
three centuries before the Christian
era, split the marble from the low,
outcropping strata by main force.
They were followed by the Romans,
who continued the industry intermit-
tently until the fall of their empire.
After that the quaries were proba-
bly, forgotten. For centuries, so far
as is known, no marble was quarried.
With the religious awakening and fer
vor of the eleventh and twelfth CEN
turtles a great demand for marble was
created, which, followed by rhe artis-
tic activity of the fifteenth century,
gave the industry an impetus which
lasted to the present time.

YALE MAY REVERT TO
PROFESSIONAL COACHING

NEW HAVEN, CONN, July Cap
tain Charley Snowden of the Yale crew
has not yet announced his coaching
plans for next season, and indications
are now that he will take considerable
time before doing so. 1t is believed by
some that he may not accept the poll
cy of graduate coaching which was in
augurated last year although there is
grave doubt that he will revert to the
system of professional coaching, which
was discarded last season.
One plan that is discussed is to make
Cook head coach. with Averill Harri-
man assistant regular coach, giving him
charge when Cook is absent. Harri-
man coached the freshmen last sea
son, and his eight cared class boat
finished only half a length behind one
of the fastest freshman crews Harvard
ever sent to the Thames. His class
four defeated the Harvard 1915 quar-
tet handily in a mile race. the only
event of the regatta captured by a Yale
shell.
Cook said today in speaking of Har-
riman:
Il regard Mr. Hartman as the most
prominent and promising coming crew
coach in any American university"

WALSH'S SUCCESS DUE
TO ADVICE OF FANATIC

CHICAGO. July 9-There was a time
when Ed Walsh was not a great pitcher
In 1904 his speed was terrific, but his
control was so bad that he had literally
no idea where the ball was going. He
could seldom get catchers to help him
practice. and had to fall back on an en-
thusiastic fan.
This fan, after handling his erratic
shoots, gave Ed some advice, He doesn't
know If Walsh took it, but his work in
dicates that he did something.
After the season of 1905 said the
bug" Il walked to the station with
Walsh. | asked him what he intended
to do in the winter He said he was
going to do nothing
