the interest over there. Besides the
four Yankee riders, 1t is said that
several of the Australians contem-
plato going back there. Paddy
O'Sulivan Hehir it is said, is test
! ing some of his countrymen concern
ing the trip.
Mr.. Chapman has been in the game
so long that he seems to be lost with
a bank roll and nothing to do. He al
ways said he would like to watch the
races from a seat in the grand stand,
but now he is even tired of that from
all accounts. His contemplated trip
| to Australia is not surprising. He has
about such voyage with troupe
of riders in his charge a number OF
times Americans who have tried to
promote sports in Australia have
Jared poorly. The laws of the country
are strict and the rules of sports, es-
pecially cycling, are tricky. One wise
head in talking of Mr.. Chapman's pro-
posed Australian tour said:
Chapman will be surprised after
he gets into the game over there how
he will be worked. 1t Is murder for
q stranger to get in at all. Johnny
has a bank roll now, but he will not
increase it in Australia. There are
many better propositions in this
country"
Jackie Clark rode a great race in
the twenty flve-mile event and he
won by five open lengths at the finish.
Bob Spears. whom it was thought
was sprinter only, finished second,
and showed that he had sufficient en-
duranee to go any distance If he
makes up his mind to do it. Spears
was in fine form yesterday and his
victory over Kramer in the handicap
looked very sensational. Without try
ing to disparage his ability in the
least. Spears was rather fortunate.
He caught Kramer for sleeper. The
champion was leading the pack COM
ing into the stretch for the last time
and thought he had the race won.
He was riding very slowly and Spears,
coming with a belated rush, seemed
to be fairly flying. He went by Kra-
mer like a shot and the fans went
mad at his display of speed. Kramer
hung his head at his carelessness, but
| to Spears belonged the victory and
| the cheers.
Referee Ross was on the job yes
terday and he doled out two bars of
| Just punishment to two offending
riders. To Gus wohlrab, who bru-
| tally fouled Donald McDougall, Ross
has given an indefinite suspension,
| and to Grassy Ryan, for viciously
knocking down Reggie Mcnamara, he
has given similar treatment. Both
| Wohlrab and Ryan should be given
long-term sentences. Wohlrab's foul
work was about the worst ever seen
at the Velodrome. Ross Is going to
have considerable trouble with the
Motordrome OUTLAWS" and he should
deal summarily with them at the be-
ginning. Ryan is noted roughster
vet he had an excuse for his foul
work. He gave Mcnamara close
ride rounding the Mum avenue turn,
and Reggie was forced off the track
and fell rather heavily. He was not
hurt. In the amateur race, in which
Wohlrab did the fouling. Adam
Beyerman was pulling" somebody
wohlrab said it wasn't him, although
he was on Beyerman's wheel. In.
, stead he declared McDougall. who
was third, was being taken" In any
: event. wohlrab had no justification
l for such foul riding.

LOCAL KNIGHTS HAVE
splendid time IN
VICkSBURG.

The fifteen Knights of Colmo
bus Of the Opelousas Lodge No
I173, who attended the grano
initiation in Vicksburg on Sun
day, the 10th, are all of the
opinion that they never hae
such a splendid time in any
strange place for a similar oc.
casior1. Real brothers of blooC
relation could not haye treated
the 0pelousas boys better than
Il. of G. brothers of Vicksburg
Council 1913. From the very
time they entered the city Sat
urday evening until their de
parture late Sunday night they
were entertained by these hos
pital Mississippians in royal
fashion.
A class of some seventy was
made to ride to Knights of Co
lumbus goat and it was said by
all who witnessed this grand
affair that it was one of the very
best Of its kind ever held in
the State of Mississippi.
Opelousas was well repre-
sented and made a very good inn
preston upon all who were pres
ent at the initiation. The word
Opelousas'' was on the lip of
every Knight of Columbus in
the historic old city of Vicks-
burg, many of whom are
anxious to come to this section
OF Louisiana to verify the state
ments made by the local boys,
that this city was one of the best
~ the state. Words of praise
spoken, Of Opelousa, by some of
me most prominent Knights of
columbus of Mississippi and
louisiana, all of which, no
ooubt, was true in every sense
OF the word.
This is the second trip that the
local boys have taken to Vicks-
o1rg and it is a sure thing that
whenever the Vicksburg Coun-
GIL 8S8 will call Opelousas to
tneir rescue that the st. Landry
Doys will be there on the scene
70 neip out these brothers, whom
they will ever remember for
their kind hospitality, TO assist
them in every manner possible.

Eternal Life.

The memories of some men
never die, for various, but aE
ways material reasons. Their.
works during life have left an
imprint so deep and marked that
time is impotent to remove, even
to dim it. The seed, such men
planted so carefully centuries
past, developed into pastures
green that will remain so for
generations hence. That re-
markable quality of never dying
and remaining ever fresh in the
minds of humanity suggests
some sterling quality like unto
the diamond, king of gems, one
that grows old, never loses its
lustre, is handed down from gem
Grafton to generation retaining
its sparkle and brilIiancy from
the day it was mined.
Symbolic of the deeds Of
great men, the diamond, gem Of
gems, is sought for and priced
for It's intrinsic value, its lasting
beauty, seintillating powers and
eternal life.
Upon investigation we find
it easy for any of our townsmen
to possess a diamond r. Morn

perienced buyers offer the fol
lowing inducements to prospec-
tive buyers: twenty per cent

payments without interest. An
exchange at any time for a
larger store, allowing full price.
for first stone purchased.
Such an offer is in line with
this firms progressive spirit and
should attract to their store all
prospective buyers of diamonds
in Opelousas and vicinity.
Sufficient, this to quench the
fires of out of town catalogue
houses, isn't it?

He KEEPS COOL
Luther Bailey Invents System
for Lowering Temperature.
Basis of the Plan Is EvapOra-
ton of Water.

A system of water refrigeration
whereby the temperature of his house
can be reduced ten degrees, anyway,
on these hot days, has been perfected
by Luther c. Bailey at his home, 303
Garfield. The system is merely the
application of the well known principle
that evaporation will cool the air in
the immediate vicinity. Mr.. Bailey has
SO arranged his watering plant that
it coolS almost the entire house, and
with the aid of an electric fan that
sucks the cool air inside, makes Ills
home pleasant, when other homes al (
sweltering hot.
The system is extremely simple. On
the south side of the Bailey home is a
wide lawn in which half dozen elI:1S
stand. Some of the trees hang over
the house They spread all over the
lawn.
I'm into those trees extend water
pipes, connected with the city MAINS,
At the end of each of five standards
there is placed a nozzle set to hue
spray. The spray is spread over tie
trees, is caught and sifted through the
leaves, and finally falls to the ground
almost in a mist. The water being IL
fine drops the evaporation is rapio'
and the air in the immediate vicinity
is robbed of the heat that is required
to transform the water into vapor
One Of the sprays extends over the
roof of the sleeping porch, setting up
a rapid evaporation there. The other
four deluge the trees Just south of the
house. the water falling gently on ana
irrigating the lawn, and the air, robbed
of it's heat, is sucked into the house
there to make pleasant place to stay:
THE difference between comfort and
intense discomfort in the summer
amounts only to a few degrees MIR.
Bailey said, Sometimes only one de-
gree makes the difference between the
two. I am sure that the net result of
the water thus sprayed on the lawn
is a reduction of temperature of about
ten degrees in the house, and makes the
entire house comfortable
1T is the finest thing in the world
for the sleeping porch. In less than ten
minutes after the water is started the
porch seels the effect of it, and is de-
utes later that the rooms downstairs
have felt its effect also, and are mads
bearable.
1.-The cost is not great. 1t is no more,
in fact, than it would cost to irrigate
the lawn by throwing a hose out into
it and letting it flood the grass. But
the adv;lnta ge of the water, in a fine
spray, passing through the air in fdii-
ing is that it is evaporated rapidly
bringing down the temperature.
1T costs q lot less than a trip to
the mountains, and lasts all summer
instead of a paltry two or three weeks
at the end of which one must return
TO Topeka and feel hotter and more I'M
comfortable than ever
Mr.. Bailey has had the system work
ing for two summers, and declares he
would not part with it. Its use makes
the difference between comfort and dis
comfort, he says in his home.

chicago, july D.
New records at the A. A u. meet
are not expected in the track events,
because of the cinder path on the
turns. The straightaway course is in
better shape and new marks may be
made in the 100 and 120 yard dashes
and in the hurdles
The weather was partly cloudy as
the time for the meeting approached
and brisk wind was blowing.
Prophets predicted that the local
athletic clubs would have a slight
chance to win honors IN the senior
events today, in spite of the easy VIC
tory in points of the Chicago Athletic
association in yesterdays Junior meet.
Experts figure the victory lies between
the New York Athletic club and the
Irish American Athletic club of New
York. The Boston Athletic associa-
ton may be expected to cut into the
points of the New Workers to help the
Chicago Athletic association and the
Illinois Athletic club a little.
