Spine of Siamese Twins lnterlocked
X-ray Shows.
Chicago, April 2.-The Siamese
twins, Josefa and Rosa Blazdek who
died last week, after two weeks ILL
ness at a hospital here, were joined
at the spine and severing them would
have been fatal, X-ray photographs
taken after their death are said to
show. The pictures, it was declared,
showed a continuous u-shaped spine
and also many vital organs in COM
mon. The deaths were due to in
testinal obstruction, according to
George w. Brady, photographer, who
made the pictures.

LETTER FROM coNsTANTINoPLE
Mr.. Walter T. Tusten Writes His
Sister, Mrs. Eugene B Gary, from
Constantinople.

. ConstantinoPle.
Pera Palace Hotel, Constantnople,
March 10th, 1922.
My Dear Sister,
Well, here we are in another city
of Mosques and Minarets, a great
-, city of about two and a half million
population. We have been here since
last Monday and will sail tomor-
row night for Athens, Greece, and
will proceed from there to Italy.
Our two weeks voyage along the
Syrian coast and the three stops
We made on the island Of Cyprus,
and our visit to the ancient city Of
Smyrna were very interesting and
instructive and the weather being
good, with the exception of two days,
our passage vas very pleasant.
Since our arrival here we have
been pretty much on the 60 and
have now seen everything that we
are interested in.
OF course, one could spend much
longer than a week here and be in
terested if they had not visited Mo-
hammedon countries before, but as
we have had 80 much Of it in India
and Egypt we are no longer inter-
ested in seeing more
This city though, is marvellous for
its location, which is wonderful,
there is not another city in the world
to compare with it in this respect.
Anne was just in my room looking
out of my window which commands
a fine view Of the Golden Horn, and
ran back 70 her room to get her
mother to come and see the beau6-
full sunset. A day or 80 ago we went
by boat up the Bosphorus to the en-
trance of the Black Sea and found
the scenery very beautiful.
The food here is excellent, by far
the best we have had since We left
the U. s. A.
There is a fine restaurant here
where we have taken most Of our
dinners, run by a Russian refuge
nobleman, and the mattresses are
young women Of royal families Of
Kussia, refinement being written on
all of them and some are beautiful
types. I feel so sorry for them as it
must be terrible to fall from such a
height and the poor things certainly
are in no way responsible for what
happened in their country. A man
connected with the American consul
late here told us yesterday that he
was in this restaurant a week or so
ago for dinner and saw some Rus
sian bolshevist Jews sitting ct one
Of the tables eating and drinking
champagne; and being served by
these ladies and he said it made his
blood hoil tn sea It.
We will al be glad to get among
English speaking people again. Marie
of course with French and German
at her disposal is all right, but she
says the most Of the natives speak
French about as badly. as they do
English and the German population
here is very much reduced.
I hope you are all quite we'll and
1 trust business conditions in the
South are better than they were a
short while ago. We have all been
quite well with the exception OF
Anne, who was a little unwell after
leaving Palestine, bat We had a very
fine Vienna doctor on board and he
fixed her up in a day or 80.
Give my love to all and drop US a
line in care of Farmers Loan and
Trust Co., Nc Al Boulevard Hous-
man, Paris. We expect to he there
about the 10th of April or perhaps
earlier.
Affectionately,

yard dash and the mile run.
Rivalry is keen among the classes.
Last year the senior class won the meet
but they had Andy Hisler gather in ten
points in the mile and two mile. Board
man should easily cop the mile this
year. JSidwell. Of the present senior

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS
TRACK MEET POSTPONED
First Annual Event at kinosessins
on Because OF Rain

The first annual track and field meet
of the junior high schools Of this city
TO be held on the field at the King
Scssing Recreation Center. Tiftieth
street and Chester avenue. this after
noon has been postponed because Of
ram.
When the NEE, is held some in the
future. each school will enter four teams.
composed Of twenty athletes each. The
teams will be divided into four classes
The senior boys and girls must not be
under five feet two inches in height
over this height. N
There will be four events on the
program. The standing broad Jump.
basketball far throw. tug war and
shuttle relav ra"" are the numbers. The
boys will run 100 yards each in the
shuttle relay while the girls viii run
one bali the distance.
The meet this year will he different
than any other run By the junior high
schools. While the institutions never
have had a regularly organized chan-
pionship competition meet. they have
met each other in dual and triangular
contests. And in these. one school.
entering ono or two star athletes. would
be able to win with ease.
This year. however. with twenty
athletes competing for school it won't
be 50 easy TO win. A star athlete may
be able 10 pick up few points, but
those that aren't so good will lose a
lot for their schools. So tho teams will
have 10 fight hard TO collect great
number OF points.
