the measure of the Rexmen.
The Northeast clubmen, however,
are out to seek revenge for an early
season defeat at the hands OF the
York outfit. To accomplish this they
are depending upon Lem Owen to turn

Owen was on the mound when the
Accos triumphed over the Rexmen by
5-to-4 score back In May, and he ex.
poets to turn the tables on the Chain
team In Sundays engagement.
Manager Wright has materially
strengthened the Rexmen by the ad.
dition of Buck Jenkins. formerly of the
Knickerbockers. Jenkins should prove
a valuable addition, as he has few
peers as an outfielder in the District.
Considering the fact that both teams
possess players of far above the ordi,

CIVILIZING FIJI

Certainly you have to admit that the FIJI ISL
anders are being civilized at a fast pace! The
other day sixteen natives of Suva were fined
for speeding their jitneys. And the suva Times
announces a great reduction in cotton goods"
Once there was a time when Fijians cared
not a boot for jitneys, nor Judges. nor cotton
goods. They didn't know the difference be-
tween an automobile and a pair of pants. Now
every Fiji man wears cotton trousers and those
who don't flivver want to.
Civilization is overtaking us" said the chief
magistrate, as he passed out the fines to the
last bunch of speeders arrested; but I will
admit that speeding isn't in the same class with
making potroast of captured enemies"
Special effort was directed at Fiji clothing
concerns to get reduced prices, it is said, as
many of the natives were being driven back
to the fg-leaf garment.

RIPPING RHYMES
b. Walt Mason.
THE KILLER


The lady, with her little gun, does
murder with a smile, because her
lover. tiresome one, has bored her
quite a while. He doesn't wear his
whiskers right, he is a careless toff;
and so. some soft and balmy night,
she calmly bumps him off. And when
they bring her into court. the laws
ancestral coop, the jurymen, each
one a sport, acquit her with a
whoop. And then she feels that duty
calls in no uncertain tones, and in
the movie picture halls she ought to
draw some bones. She wants to
teach our boys and girls that vice
their souls will harm, that homely
virtues are the pearls, and sins a
false alarm. And while she's guard
ing thus the youth from all that evil
means, and through the films ex-
pounding truth, she'll gather in the
beans. But soon her hopes grow
lank and lean, for movie men don't
fall; they say, THE modern movie
queen needs something more than
gall" Methinks it is a hopeful sign
that her ambitions stung, that she
is not allowed to shine and elevate
the young. The young can find much
better aids to higher life, I wist, and
bloody little claramaids should fade,
and won't be missed.

1t is generally known that the
successful navigation of the atmos-
phere in machines heavier than
air" was accomplished only after
long study Of the mechanics and
method Of the fight of birds.
1t was a surprise to the builders
of these machines when they found
it advantageous to modify their first
drawings Of the body Of the car, and
shape it like a fish.
The first attempts were in an
effort to reduce head-resistance, and
the cars were built with pointed
fronts and blunt sterns. Now the
ears of airplanes are "stream-lined"
or shaped like a fish. The wings of
the airplane support it in an eleva-
ton above the earth as the propeller
drives it forward; it is the blunt end
Of the car that is pushed ahead; the
tapering end is at the rear.
The inventors discovered that 1t
was not the head resistance that
slowed down the plane, but the sue
ton behind. SO the plane pushes its
blunt end into the wind, and the rear
end tapers to an edge.
Now the announcement is made

A. The large imported Swiss

@. Who said Taxation without

A. This has never been raced to
the person who framed the sem

American Revolutionary statesman

the statements that the colonies

that boats also may be modified by
changes in the construction of, the
stern so as to lessen the suction and
increase the speed.
Wonderful are the adaptations of
life to it's environment. Structural
notifications Of the forms Of life to
meet the requirements Of conditions
in which these forms of life must
be lived excite the wonder of the
learned and become the more re-
markable as we know more about
them.
Creation is very full of mysteries,
and of things understood in part
only. AS we learn a little here and
a little there we are profoundly i'm
pressed with the wisdom which un-
dergirds the whole universe and
continuously operates through its
widely various forms.
But whatever we discover is OF
something planned long before our
discovery. While we make our
laundering advances in the field of
knowledge, we gradually approach
to some aspects of truth which were
manifest in the creation. We learn
slowly what God knew first.
