SOUTH PAWS ARE
DEFENDED IN PULPIT

Chicago. Feb. 2I.--Left handed
persons formed the congregation at
south side Methodist Episcopal
church last night. They had been
called together to hear a plea for
school instruction intended to make
the world ambidcNtrous.
The left hand WIS used in greeting
those who attended the service and
pastor. the Rev. William Albert Frye
took advantage of the occasion to
criticize those who held that right
handed persons are in any superior
to those who just as naturally use
the left hand.
He found fault with the dictionary
which says that the word implies
uselessnes, weakness and lack Of
skill. He mentioned Rube Marqnard
and Tyrus Cobb as being left hand
ed persons superior in their work to
any right handed men In the occu-
patton of baseball playing. He said
the crown Prince of Germany and
most Of the crowned heads Of Eur
oDc We're either left handed or right
ambidextrous.
