 l Zbyszko first came to this country 1 in 1909. At that time the ,undisputed
 Greco Roman wrestling champion of 1 the world, he came seeking Gotch's 1 title. The resourceful and aggressive 1 Gotch clamped a toe hold on him in l fast time and Zby's shoulders hit the
 mat for the first time in his career. Since then Zbyszko has won nearly 1000 straight matches in all parts of
 the world.
 He was in Russia when the war broke out and was made a prisoner for several years, as well as suffering the loss of his entire fortune, which amounted to almost a million dollars. | He came to this country as soon as possible after the armistice and inn

DEVICE GRIPS SUNKEN SHIPS
Superior to Any Other That Has
Vet Been Devised.

There has recently been patented a
device for raising sunken ships which
bids fair to be highly effectual. The
principle underlying the invention is
the firing into the vessel Of a novel
form Of grip. This, after penetrating
the hull, automatically opens out two
extending arms, which firmly grasp the
plates.
The grips are discharged from a spe-
cial gun by means Of compressed air,
says the Nautical Magazine. After be-
ing loaded on the surface, the gun is
submerged to the level of the vessel,
and is then fired by electricity, mag.
netic power being employed to keep
the muzzle of the gun pointing toward
the vessel.
The gun can be raised to the sur
face again and reloaded as often as
Is necessary. When a sufficient num-
Der of grips have been placed in posi-
ton, the vessel, IL it Is not at too
great q depth, can be relocated by
means Of cables attached to Them. If,
however, the water is too deep to per.
nit of this, specially Constructed
cylinders are slid down the cables, and
compressed air is pumped into them
until they are buoyant enough to
raise the vessel.

THE average American citizen
knows less about the government of
his county than about any other pub.

This is owing to the fact that county
government. so-called, is not county
self-government at all, but simply
state government of counties. No
man can be expected easily to become
intimate with government, tho

her slim hands braced against the

on the far horizon. 81 shall need all
i can get to put with whatever the
cid tub sells for to give me a start
next fall in the city. Dad won't help
me at ALL" he added bitterly.
Perhaps your father thinks your
opportunity lies here" suggested Mary
gently. "He Is getting old and the
store will soon be too much for him."
~ know" said Jim impatiently, "but
he can always sell out"
Mary said no more, convinced of the
futility of argument. Why wouldn't
Jim see that here In his old home
town lay his biggest chance Of sue
cess?
For miles around w. Newton & Son
held the trade In groceries. hardware
and dry goods, and rapidly growing
trade it was, what with the yearly In
ereasing influx Of summer people who
crowded the hotels and boarding
houses and cottages. This business to
which Jim now contributed part of
the name and few hours every morn

energy with his fathers reputation and
there was gold mine in 1t for him.

with apprehension as to what the fu-
ture held in store.
Three weeks later, as Mary walked
down North Barnstable's winding, elm
shaded Main street to the post Office,
Jim'S father, fussing over window
display of canned cheeses, beckoned
TO her from the store.
MARY" he said, after she had fol-
lowed him into the store, 81 want you
to do something for me. Young Whit
I0ck, at the Barnstable house, is pes
fering me to death to sell out to him
at price not half what the business
is worth. But I'm tempted to take
him up. It's more than I can manage
alone and Jim is planning to get out
In the fall. But IL thought Jim was
putting him up to it, I'd stick it out
tin I pass in my checks. I won't be
bulldozed by jim"
"How can help you?" asked Mary
as the other paused.
"This way" replied the man eager
~. "Find out, If you can, what Jim
knows about 1t. haven't mentioned
II to him. If It's his doings, I'll have
nothing to do with it. But IL he
doesn't know about ii, I'll try and jack
MP the other fellows offer little, and
close the deal"
"Tll do what I can, Mr. Newton"
Mary agreed and moment later left
the store. She did not relish the COM
mission. 1t meant arranging q meet
mig with Jim, and she had not seen
Jim since the opening of the hotel.
That he had gone to several Of the
hops with Cynthia Whitlock she had
gathered from very reliable informa-
ton, its source being none other than
.Cynthia's brother, Bert Whitlock. who
was trying TO buy Jlms fathers store.
And IL was through that very same
young man that Mary's first oppor-

Washington, Oct. 22.-With the
railroads of the country and the labor
unions, according to every outward
Indication, preparing to go the limit
on the issues through the medium of
a showdown now only one week away,
government circles today continue to
size up the situation as "the affair
of the railway labor board. Without
exception, those in authority are
agreed that at the next conference
in Chicago will be given an oppor-
tunity to try for every means of a
settlement before consideration is
given the question of invoking fed
eral authority in aa.drastic. manner.
Tshe decision against the use of any
federal troops should the strike go
into effect, was reached by the admin
istration late Yesterday, although
there were well-grounded reports that
prominent members of the cabinet
had endorsed the proposal that Pres
ident Harding at least considers such
action in the light of a possibility.

PEOPLE NEW SOUTH WALES
WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT
WORKING OF PROHIBITION

Sidney, New South Wales, Oct. %.
The question OF prohibition and re-
strictons upon the intoxicating liquor
traffic has aroused great interest and
comment throughout the common
wealth and a band of Sydney business
men. including several members of
parliament, has been formed and sub,
scribed fourteen hundred pounds to
be expended in the United States and
Canada in an effort to determine what
effect prohibition has upon business
efficiency.
The business men plan to spend a
year in obtaining and considering
Opinions from the United States and
Canada and their conclusions are to
be published here.
A great amount OF speculation also
has arisen here over whether the ap-
peals court will decide whether p.
III. or IL p. m. is the legal closing
hour for hotel bars in Sydney. The
6 p. m. closing was a wartime meas
ure and it was to cease being cleo

war. A subsequent act, however,
provided that referendum should be
held on the continuance of the early
closing hour The present labor gov
eminent, announced that because of
the expense involved it had declined

THE STRIKE SUMMARY

The most important development
of the day is the Inauguration of the
nationwide proposed railroad strike
by the waIk-out of the sWitchmen and
brakemen of the international and
Great Northern Railway working on
the San Antonio division of that rail
way system. Two hundred and fifty
men are involved, the strike going
into effect at noon today. Armed
guards are on duty at Houston in case
of any disorders. Railway officials
made a statement this afternoon to
the effect that every effort would be
made to carry on passenger service
over the line.
Washington officials are still bank
ing on the ability and resourcefuIness
of the Federal railway labor board to
come to terms with the railway
unions when the second general con-
ference is held next Wednesday in
Chicago.
Union leaders are proceeding with
arrangements for the strike just as

der of Railway Conductors, arrived
last night.
Mr.. Lees statement as to the caus-
es of the strike follow:
"The public is rather confused as
to the causes FOR the railway strike.
There is a belief on the part of
some that the strike is for higher
wages and not a protest against the
wage reductions and the elimination
of rules which would mean still fur
ther reductions.
Railroad transportation employees,
even when peak wages were paid, did
not receive advanced wages in keep:
ing with the increased living costs.
The daily rate paid transportation
men was fixed for all classes in the
United States in 1913, and regard
less of the increased costs of living,
there were no increased wages for
these employees until January 1, 1913,
and only then after most searching
investigation had been made by the
Lane commission to determine what
should be the reasonableness of
wages paid transportation employees.
This commission reported that wages
were inadequate and contrary to pub
lie opinions. did not measure up with
