Athens. I'm his political will. which
has now been rnadespnblic. the late
King George, after giving directions
for the disposition of his belongings,
urges his children to remain united.
Addressing himself to the new king.
Constantine. King George says:
Love your dear little country.
Serve her and your dear people and
have confidence in them. and may your
brothers follow the same example"
The will urges King Constantine to
be courageous and patient. "fOr you
are reigning over a southern people
whose temper and irritability take fire
rapidly and who at any moment may
say and do things which 1t is proba-
BILE will be forgotten the following
day. It is preferable that the king
should suffer. even morally rather
than his people and his country. The
interests of the people of the country
must always be placed before all other
interests"
In conclusion King George declares
his love for Queen Olga and urges his
son to love and protect her..

SATURDAY, JULY IL, 1918.

The worlds champion heavyweight
pugilist, Jack Johnson, has arrived in
France and has announced that he
will never again return to the land
of his birth, but will reside in gay
Paree. Arrangements will now be
made for the forfeiture of the $780,,
600 bond he was under in Chicago
We have no regrets to offer because
Jack has shaken the dust of this
prejudiced country off his feet and
we don't care if he never comes back
but we do regret the unfairness of the
white people of this country who per
secuted Johnson so numerically
principally because he licked Jefferies
We don't care snap of our fingers
for either Jefferies or Johnson, one is
just as good and just as bad as the
other but we would like to see all
the world, the United States included
accept the truism of Bobby Burns, ga
mans man for a. that and a. that
be he black, white, blue or grizzle
grey.

As this is the Fiftieth Anniversary

WON'T CHECK THEIR BABIES

churchgoing Mothers Sure They Can
Identify Their Own. $3.50
Evanston. lll.-A proposed system to
check babies during service was re-
sorted to by several mothers at the
Wheaton Methodist Episcopal church
here.
The mothers were willing to have
their little ones cared for in an ante
room by two attendants while they
listened to the sermon, but when they
were offered checks as a guarantee
that no mistake would be made when
the babies We're reclaimed they OBJ,
jected.
The attendants were finally persuad-
ed to take care Of the infants without
handing out checks for them, being
assured by each mother that there
would be no mistake made when she
came to claim her own.
The checking concession had been
let by the ladies' aid society of the
church, the members Of which desired
to relieve the congregation from the
annoyance of the babies crying.

SHOWS A HOUSEFLY
AS LARGE AS A CAT
Model on View at Museum Of
Natural History.

New York. Many sights may be
seen in the new hall of public health,
lately opened by the American Muse
um Of Natural History. which have
more relation to the affairs of every
day life than many of the scientific
treasures which the big institution
houses elsewhere. The principal fig
ures Of this newest exhibit are not pre-
historic monsters, but tiny and famil-
lar insects of contemporaneous human
interest-the fly, the mosquito and the
flea.
A housefly as big as a fair sized cat
occupies the place of honor in the COL
lection. This model has cost nine
months of work and study on the part
Of 1gnasz Matausch. Hungarian mod
el maker in the service of the museum.
It is constructed on scale of $4,000
times the size Of the living insect. and
the proportions have been preserved
with the minutest care. Mr.. Matausch
having made his drawings and casts
for the head, body and various mem
bers of the insect from dissection.
Larvae and pupae Of the fly are
shown in models nodded on the same
scale, as are the eggs, which appear as
little cucumber shaped pieces Of paraf-
nn about two inches long. A real fy's
egg is just about visible to the naked
eye. "a
The same artist has painted an en-
largement 800 diameters) of the
hairy foot of the fly, showing the ty-
phoid bacilli. of which the insect is
the common carrier, on the elawlike
tip Of the member.
The exhibit as at present constituted,
however, covers good deal of ground
that is not SO well known to the pub
lie as it should be. The connection be-
tween the rat and the bubonic plague,
for example. is shown in the reproduc-
ton Of section Of a dwelling in San
Francisco. This represents two ad-
joining rooms, in one of which several
rats are seen feasting upon the refuse
of 9 garbage barrel, while in the next.
the wall Of which is pierced by rat
holes, are several more taking their
ease in a room which is evidently a
pantry. These rats, of course. are sup
posed to be infested with the feas
which transmit the plague.
One of the most striking groups is
that Of .the Ill kept farm" which has
as a companion piece ''the well kept
farm" In the first model are shown a
farmhouse and farm buildings of the
old fashioned type. There is well
with an ''old oaken bucket" the stable
has large manure heap, the out
houses are of primitive character,
and adjoining the farmyard is a mala-
hal mosquito breeding marsh. The
companion group shows windmill, In
dicating that the shallow well has been
replaced by driven we'll. insuring

a mt it d terrible calamity when
n you're knocking them dead in
their seats and having all the
legit fellows wishing to hear of YOU
croaking and then to have to blow
the job? Oh, heyngs, its some
thing fierce!
B'gosh It's hard to even think
they would stand for anything like
that in this free land. but facts is
facts and the poor fall guy is none
other than Luther McCarty
No more will Luther stalk to the
footIights and knock the breath out
Of his audience by his great rope

left their happy homes to carry

in undisguised admiration at the
noble form Of the modern Hercules
The hero is all through, and poor
Art gets a wallop that will take
years to efface the sting.
Y'see. it's a sad story. All poor
Luther does is to go out to Califor-
MIA and bump Al Palzer down the
pugilistic toboggan. Then every
theatrical manager in the ten,
twent' ard thirt' circuit wants him
to be the big noise.
Before he slipped the skids I'M

BY Ed. w. Smith.

TERE'S about the newest win
kle in the fighting game
the white champion of the
world is going to take some boxing
lessons.
Though Luther McCarty won tho
title in clean and decisive fashion
his manager does not believe he
knows how to hit right
Hence he is going to turn him
over to one of the most capable in
structors in the business and see if
his form can not be improved.
Can't YOU hear Jack Johnson and
some Of the others of the quartet
known as the Ebony -Four" laugh
when they read about It?
Well, at any rate, the contract
has been made, and Harry Gilmore
veteran lightweight fighter Of this
city and one of the best handlers Of
fighters in the business has been
selected to give the champion the
tirst-and, by the way, the only
lessons in boxing he ever had.
Billy Mccartney. McCarty's man
ager. made tine arrangements for
the lessons Thursday when he wa
in tine city. He long has had the
idea in mind and always picked
Gilmore for the job. When he was
here he found Harry and had a long
chat with him about the matter
They came to terms without any
trouble.
The first of the lessons Will be
given to McCarty some time before
his next important battle. He Will
spend at least two weeks training
in Chicago and during that period
will be in the hands of the veteran
Canadian fighter constantly
1T may be a biz surprise and u
huge innovation TO have a cham
pion take boxing lessons, but that's
exactly the idea" Mccartney told
me. THE whole truth of the mat
ter is this: McCarty does not hit
correctly with his left hand. He
doesn't get the right power or force
behind his punches, and | am going
to find out the reason of this
III his faults can be corrected,
why not right now? They say it is
impossible to teach an Old dog new
tricks, but | don't believe McCarty
is so old now that he can not be
broken Of former habits and made
to hit correctly"
Those who have seen McCarty in
recent bouts declare that the big
fellows main fault is his inclination

TECH MEN BEGIN
REGULAR WORK
On DIAMOND
TINE first outdoor practice of

TINE first outdoor practice Of
the Tech baseball squad was
held at the Tech flats Monday
afternoon. The workout was
good one, and it looked more like
an April "warmup" than a Febru-
airy condition practice"
The work consisted mostly of the
old cut-and dried stuff of running
around the track, batting a few
very easy, limbering up in that mil
lionaire style which is peculiar to
the college ball player who is first
getting the old grandstand whip
into shape. In a few days the
cutting will begin. as the squad is
entirely too large for Coach Heis-
man to handle with any COncen-
trated effect. Full many a Cobb
Is born to play unseen and waste
his greatness on the old back lot"
is the motto of the Jacket coach.
There seems to be an unusually
large amount of interest shown
this spring, and the men are TAX
ing to work like q duck to water.
The indirect cause of this is that
the competition for places is so
strong and that the man in con-
dition first will have first try at the
place: and if he makes good, it is
goodnight to the other fellow who
has just driven up with a slender
waist line and a clear light in his
eyes.
Baseball is expected to take a
boom at the Flats as soon as the
new stadium is completed, as there
is nothing that a good ball player
likes better than good grounds and
a whole grandstand full of people.
The new stadium will be one of
the finest in the country, and the
diamond will be as excellent AS
good, experienced labor can make it.
