What Chance Brought to Madge in Little Village Store

had made me feel far more secure in
driving than did this trip, when any
thing going wrong meant my sitting by
the roadside perhaps for 4 long time
before 1 could get word to a garage
man.
In my hurry to depart I had not gone
through that memorable ritual of the
gas-oil--water Suppose l had
not enough of any one of the three for
my short journeyi I listened critically
to the hum of the engine, wondering
whether 1 should hear the fateful
knocking which would signify a lack of
oil, and watched fearfully for the sruok-
slackening which would spell a lack Of
gas.
The Village Autocrat.
I resolved TO go frst Of all to the sup
ply shop. where presided the lean. sat
urnine but sterling citizen who was re-
puted to be able to take any car to
pieces and put it together again with
both eyes Shut and one hand tied be-
hind him. l could draw up in front of
his shop without either parking as the
village ordinance compelled motorists
to do on the main street. or turning
around-in neither~of which was I pro-
hQient. Indeed. was at that stage of
motor knowledge eVhere I would drive
around six blocks in order to avoid
turning around or backing in the middle
of one of them. Illuminating as it was
1 resolved to ask Mr.. Jones. the garage
genius, If he would not turn the ma
chine around and head it in the drec-
ton of home while he was supplying
its various deficiencies and I was taking
advantage of the time TO get the re-
quired medicine from the pharmacy,
only few doors away.

Nickel in Alaska.

Nickel minerals are known to occur
 at several localities in Alaska. but none
 of the deposits have yet been worked.
 One group of these deposits is de
 scribed in a recent publication of the
 U. S. geographical survey, department
 of the interior, bulletin 712-C. Nickel Deposits in the Lower Copper River
 Valley, Alaska" by R. M. Overbeck.
 They lie 12 miles east of Spirit moun- tain, in high range east of Copper
 river and south of Chitina river, on
 Canyon creek Chitina, the nearest town, is about 21 miles away. The country rock is schist cut by intrusive basic igneous rocks. The chief nickel
 deposit appears to be connected in origin with the basic igneous rock.
 The ore body is cut by fault and has
 not been developed by underground or surface workings, so that it's extent is not known The ore minerals are sul-
 phides which have been altered by weathering. An analysis of the nickel bearing sulphide was made, but owing to the presence of impurities a form ula for the mineral could not be ob- tained. The other sulphides are pyr- rhotite and chalcopyrite. A selected specimen of this sulphide ore analyz- led in the geological survey laboratory

 There is great rivalry between the various states as to the supremacy of their bowlers and many battles will be fought during the time of the tour nament which will not be on the off cial schedule. Many New York teams have asked for dates on which out of-town teams will bowl, and Philip Spinella, the we'll known duck pin bowler from New York city, issues a challenge to bowl any of the New England state champions or any of the stars from Washington or Balti- more.

TOLEDO INcoNVENIENcED
 BY STRIKE OF CAR MEN

Toledo, O., April 4.-With street car service at a standstill owing to the strike of car men. and with a blind ing snow and ice storm raging all day, Toledo today appeared like deserted village.
 At the first signs of the storm op- orators of the makeshift bus service scurried to shelter and erstwhile street car patrons were compelled to employ taxicabs to get to Easter services or to walk
 The blizzard was one of the worst that ever visited this section, even in winter, according to the weather. bu- reau.
 It was said today at headquarters of the car men that resumption of trolley 1 service is impossible until the city council ratifies an agreement entered | into by Mayor Cornell Schreiber, off,
 cials of the Toledo Railways and Light 1 company and the car operators. This would grant a maximum increase in i wages to 50 cents an hour and would ! increase the carfare from six cents to
 seven cents at all hours Of the day in I addition to the regular charge of two cents for a transfer.
 The car men held a meeting today
 and decided to demand pay at the new wage rate for all the time they are
 idle. They will convene again tomor- l row afternoon.

Woodman has re- ceived tempting offers for Jacks services frcm Tom Andrews of Mill waukee and Harry Edwards of Phil adelphia, but he is going to take his time starting Jacks here. because he wants him to get acclimated and see how the American boxers work.
 Wcodman will have Jacks box several mediocre boys before putting him against Johnny Kilbane. Some Toledo folks want the Kirbane-Jacks bout. Edwards wants it for his Olympic club in Phily.
 Jacks served with the English army IS months in the trenches. In his many bouts he fought 15 to 20 rounds. He is a seasoned fighter and punches well and is exceptional ly clever. They say he is second Jim Driscoll, except that he is a harder puncher.

The Crescents played their last home game in Parish hall Sunday afternoon when they defeated the All Stars from the New London Industrial league by the score of 69 to B. Word was re- ceived from the Worcester K. of C.. Saturday that it was out of the ques- ton to come here for the game, so Manager Benoit secured the All Stars rather than cancel the game. The visitors proved no match for the fast Crescents who fairly ran away from the visitors. The score at the end of the first half was 35-12 inu CreScents' favor.
 Belair and Mills were the stars of the game while Oberhoher was the shining light for the All Stars.

ELIGIBILITY RULES WILL BE
 ENFORCED AT OLYMPIAp

New York April 4.-Late reports from Belgium indicate that the Olym- pic games eligibility rules, always strictly enforced in past Olympiads, will be observed to the letter in the international meet at Antwerp next summer. The slightest flaw in the status of an athlete is sufficient to bar him from the games, according to a statement made by Frederick W. Rubien, secretary of the American Olympic Committee.
 The rules governing amateurism are short but explicit" MT. Rubien said today. They will prevent several fine athletes, now in this country, from competing for the United States, but as the code affects all nations alike we cannot complain"

POETRY
BLACK SHEEP

 From their folded mates they wander Their ways seem harsh and wild; They follow the beck of a balefui star, Their paths are dream beguiled. Yet hapiy they sought but a wider Some iHoifttier mountain slope; And little rocked of the country Beyond the gates of hope. And fapiy a bell with a turing call Summoned their feet to tread Midst the cruel rocks. where the deep
 pitfall
 And the lurking snare was g,read. Maybe. in spite of their tameless days Of outcsst liberty, They're sick at heart for the homsly Where their gathered brothers be. And oft at night. when the plains fall And the hills loom large and dir. For the shepherds voice they mutsly 1 And their souls go out to him. Meanwhile. Black sheep, bisek sheep," we cry.
 Safe in the inner fold: And maybe they hear, and wonder why, l And marvel out in the cold. Richard Burton.

ALL OUTDOORS,
By RICHARD P. HOLLAND. Vice President, American Game Pro
 tectiye Association.

By RICHARD P. HOLLAND. T Vice President, American Game Pro-
 tective Association.
 Nearly fourscore years ago Frank Forester predicted that in 1900 there would be no game shooting in Amer ica.
 Just recently a man who writes out door articles for the magazine made the prediction that in twenty years there would be no open shooting in this country. This prediction will ecy made by Frank Forester.
 Free game shooting is the in- herited birthright of the American sportsman and such prophecies will never be vindicated. The sportsman of today is too far-sighted to sit idly by and see his sport either ruined or monopolized by a few.
 By both national and state legisla- tion the sportsrnen of America have repeatedly demonstrated that they know right from wrong, and that knowing what should be done, they do it. The market shooter has been ruled out of legal existence; the man who slaughtered ducks from boats propelled by power is also outlawed by practically every state in the Union and by the federal govern men; and the spring shooter is nc l longer tolerated.
 | Just as surely as these enemies of game have been outlawed, just as surely as the night shooter, the pot hunter and the snarer of game are pronounced guilty by both law and sportsmen-so will free shooting con- tinue in existence in the United States of America for all time Shooting is far from being a thing of the past, as it should long ago have been according to the predictions O. Frank Forester. It is not difficult tt secure the limit in woodcock within two hours automobile ride north i New York city. We have seen thi demonstrated several times durini this last season. Think of it ire heart of the largest city in our coun try. Free shooting worth while there for the gunner who cares t
 avail himself of the oportunity
 When a stranger to the shooting ter ritory can go out and in a day pu up half dozen ruffed grouse and
 dozen woodcock and never see a tres
 pass sign, it is certainly the fact tha free shooting of a fine brand stiI
 exists.
 The American Game Protective as
 sociation believes the most importan
 subject before the sportsmen toda is the establishment of public shoot ing grounds. We have escaped tn
 fate predicted for us, but this is a [ the more reason why we should talk
 heed and prepare not only for our flu , ture, but for the sport of those wh will follow. The refuge idea shoul be worked hand in hand with the pub lie shooting ground, in order that tn i, game shall not be exterminated c
 shot too close to furnish an adequat
 supply for the next season.
