THE new State amateur ring cham
pions, from Frank Adams husky
tramc cop, down TO little eigh-
teen-year-old Jimmy flaming, all re-
fleet the big recent development in
boxing. The 1921 title holders have
handed a clean Knockout to the old
belief that amateurs are usually crude
performers inside the ring.
The State amateur championships
took place in the Garden this week.
The bouts were hard fought with
mixtures Of fistic skill exposed to the
public gaze. Some contestants were
long on spirit and short Of talent,
but the winners of the various classes
show the world that the Dempseys
and Leonards haven't a monopoly on
fancy stun with the padded mitts.
The new heavyweight and 175-
pound champion is Frank Adams, a
stalwart Policeman who handles
traffic in the Roaring FOrties. Frank
is a second edition OF Gunboat Smith,
with the Gunners rangy build and
trick OF jabbing wickedly with his
lebt hand. He's been specially
coached by Willie Spengler, holder Of
the national heavyweight title for
twelve years. Adams, while not a
knockerQut, packs a wallop that
doesn't invite undue familiarity. He
is very fast and clever for a big man.
Archie Walker. crown wearer in
the lightweight division, is a proto-
type OF Willie Richie, both in APP
pearance and style Of boxing. In his
second bout Of the Garden champion
ships Walker had great trouble win
ming from POnteau, a colored oppo-
nent. In fact, the referees decision
met with a storm OF protest from the
large crowd. Walker, in the follow.
ing bout, showed he had been in a
temporary slump against Ponteau
To settle any doubts about the
matter Walker mas challenged Pom

WHAT MAKES MILK WHITE?

Have you noticed that some milk is
white, some has blush cast, while cream
is yellow? Milk in a normal condition
contains many millions of minute spheres
of fat, and these act as little mirrors, re-
Aecting the light in all direction. The
more numerous masses, as in the compact
form of cream, produce an absorption of
part of the light, rejecting the yellow
rays. When the masses of little spheres
of fat are less numerous, as in SKINNED
milk, the liquid becomes more transparent,
and as there is less reflection the color is
blush.
1t is interesting to compare this phe-
nomenon of light with the milk-white and
the dull rings of the distant planet Saturn.
Through the telescope this same principle
of reflection from small bodies is apparent.
The more compactly formed portion of
the ring that surrounds Saturn shines with
a pure white light. Here there are count
less millions of little moons flying around
Saturn, rejecting the sunlight as do the
spheres of fat in the rich milk. AS these
masses become less compactly grouped on
that portion of the ring farthest from and
that nearest to the planet, we can see the
dark sky through the ring. On its inner
and outer edges it is transparent and thus
appears dark.-Ex.

than their school system, which has been
declared by many competent critics to be
one of the finest in the world. While the
system was implanted in the islands by
Americans, every cent of the cost has been
cheerfully borne by the Filipino people.
The schools are making an English speak
ing race of the Filipino nation. English
is the official language, and it is declared
will continue to be when independence is
gfanted
"The Filipino boys and girls are well
balanced, docile and industrious pupils"
says Junius B. Wood, who was sent to
the islands by the Chicago Daily Ne7Vs to
investigate conditions there. "To attend
school is a privilege to a Filipino child
or young man, not an unwelcome duty.
In the cities those who work days go to
school at night.
To-day there is hardly barrio where
youngsters cannot be found who speak
English. One-third of the house of repre-
sentatives and eighteen of the twenty-four
senators speak English. In the next cleo
ton, in 1922, the young men of the new
schools will be stepping into CONTROL and
the first great goal of the public school
system will have been reached."-Ex.

FILIPINOS ENGLISH SPEAKING

If teacher in a public school in the
Philippines desires to punish a child, she
doesn't have to apply the ruler. She sim
ply sentences the offending pupil to remain
away from school few days
This is the most severe punishment she
can inAict, for Filipino children take an
almost abnormal pleasure in going to
school and acquiring an education. The
all-Filipino legislature, in response to the
popular demand for schools, and still
more schools" is constantly increasing its
appropriations for education, but the
schools can scarcely be constructed fast
enough to care for the ever-increasing en-
rollment. The school enrolment is now
$4,000 without any compulsory atten-
dance laws. When Dewey sailed into
Manila Bay there were 2,1OO private
schools in the islands. Today there are
$500 schools and colleges, with 10000
Filipino teachers and about 1000 other
teachers, 341 of whom are Americans.

The school system includes normal
schools agricultural colleges twenty-seven
farm schools, nautical school and a
school for the deaf and blind.
The Filipino pupil, in addition to learn
ing English and in addition to his regular
studies, learns basket making, embroidery
and hat weaving, the trades peculiar to
the islands, as we'll as the domestic
sciences and pedagogy. There are more
positions than can be filled by the trade
school and commercial college graduates.
The trade and agricultural schools pro-
duced $1,176,S50 worth of goods in 1919.

pie take more pride in and that they are

placable hordes were supposed to have
come.
The bravery of the invaders, together
with their stole disregard for pain and
the manner in which they turned upon
their guards when captured, also gave rise
to the expression "catch Tartar" or che
caught Tartar" which is in use to this
day as synonym for being taken by
surprise, particularly when person thinks
that he has made an easy conquest.-Ex.

TARTAR

Tartar" as applied to the wild tribes
which inhabit middle and central Asia,
is one of those words in which wrongly
assumed derivation has modified the SPELL
ing and the very shape in which we now
have it, for the people usually designated
by this name are not "Tartars," but eta
ters."
The Interpolation of the "r" in the first
syllable came about when these hordes
burst into Europe during the Thirteenth
century and swept everything before
them. Many persons claimed that the
rsvages of the invading cavalry consti-
tuted fulfillment of the prophecy in the
ninth chapter of Revelation concerning
the opening of the bottomless pit and the
loosing Of the inhabitants of the internal
regions. From this belief ensued the
change of their name from "Taters" to
"Tartars," the latter being an outgrowth
of Tartarls, or hell, whence these i'm
