weight championship at stake.
will take place tonight when
Benny Leonard defends his title
against Lew Tender. Philadelphia
in a twelve-round contest.
Both boxers pronounced them
selves fit and confident on the eve
] OF a match perhaps unparalleled
IN the history of the lightweight
ranks and rivaling as aflstic at
traction the memorable encounter
year ago on the same battle
ground when Jack Dempsey sue
cessfuIly defended his heavy
weight crown against Georges
Carpenter.
Old timers recalled the Joe
Gans-Battling Nelson battle at
Goldfield some years ago and con-
trasted it with tonight's bout.
Leonard finished his training
with the fiat declaration that he
would win by a knockout---with tn
in seven rounds.
Tender was no less confident OF
his ability to land a decisive blow.
Both men must weight IN dl W
under the lightweight limit 1S5
pounds at 2 o'clock this afternoon
and have posted forfeits OF
$4,000 as guarantees.
Under the New Jersey boxing
laws, no decision can be. given II
the bout goes the limit. Thus
Tenders only chance to displace
Leonard, as champion is by scoring
knockout or by foul
Arrangements have been made
to handle the largest throng that
ever attended a lightweight cham
plonship contest. Tex Richard es-
timated the attendance. at 1000
and the gate receipts at between

Weather predictions were pro-
missing, but should conditions be
unfavorable the contest will be
held tomorrow night or the first
available night, Richard said.

OUR TINY BIRD FRIENDS

(The following interesting article
is fifth of series on nature sub
tects, written especially for the
Junior Palladium, by Prof. Mlllard
s. Markle, head of the department. OF
biology. of Earlham college)
The Chickadee
Some of the birds we have in
winter are so small that many per-
sons do not see them at all. one
of these is the Chickadee. 1t is
here all the year and in the sum
mer makes its nest in holes IN
trees, stumps, and other similar
places. One nested in the top OF
an iron hitching post on the Earl
ham college campus.
1t is easily recognized by its
black cap and neck-tie. and gray
body, wings and tail. It Is only
about four inches long. Its~song IS
cheerful and tells us Its name. It
gets it's food by searching the tiny
twigs of the trees for insects and
insect eggs, and Is often seen hang
ing head downward from the under
side of twig. Chickadees are
quite tame and have been known
to alight on the hat or hands OF per-
sons who feed them.
Titmouse Is Quite Vociferous
You should know also the Tit
mouse. He Is much like the chick
adee, but has no black. Instead, he
has saucy crest or "top-knot." He
gets his food In much the same
way that a chickadee does, and
nests in the same sort Of places.
The titmouse is quite tame and
often comes down in the lower
limbs OF the trees to scold one Wig
orously when he comes into the for
est. especially If he has a nest or
young birds near. His song is
musical but monotonous, being 9
whistled "Peter, Peter" repeated
over and over, so that some call
him the Peter-bird. Others call
him the sugar-bird, because he
whistles merrily in early spring
when the farmers are In the woods
making maple sugar.
Brown creeper Devours Insects
Another tiny bird is the Brown
Creeper, which Is here only during
the winter. II Is a speckled, gray
| ish- brown bird, about five inches
long, with long tail and a long,
curved bill. 1t is always seen on

they reached good camping site
in a clearing by the stream. After
collecting some dry drift wood,
they built large cheerful fire and
cooked their supper of bacon, eggs
and bread.
After they had been in camp sew
eral days they decided to make a
canoe. In the woods there was
plenty Of hickory, birch, maple and
pine. So, after collecting several
choice hickory saplings, they piled
them up in front Of the tent, and,
selecting one, cleared 1t OF Its
branches. They cut it at the right
length, shaved one side to make 1t
bend easily, and then bent 1t over a
block at the right shape. They
then cut pieces for the side, and
after bending them in shape, they
fastened them to the backbone, as
Martin called it. Soon the frame
took shape into long, slender
canoe frame. Then large strips OF
hirchhark were cut and fastened to
the frame, and after several days Of
hard work, the boys could stand off
and look at a neat, trim canoe or
which both could be proud. But
there was still some work to be
done on it and that was to work
some tar into the cracks and TO
paint the whole canoe with q thin
coat of paint.
When the tar had dried thin
coat of dark green paint was ap-
piled and allowed to dry. 1t was
set in the water for a test. Not a
drop OF water came in. The boys
were SO glad they caught hold OF
each other and danced around.
After another coat of green paint
was applied to the outside, and
white on the inside and four pad
dies were made, two OF which were
extras, they named the canoe the
Green Flash,
Toward the end of the vacation
there was to be boat race on Mir
ror Lake. AT last the day came,
and about ten canoes were in the
race, among them the Green Flash.
At "time" the starting pistol was
discharged, and they were off. The
Green Flash was a length behind
the Red Streak, and SO it kept up
until the race was half over. The
Green Flash came up with its
rival, passed it, and won by half
length. When the people came
home they said that the Green
Flash sure did flash ! Paul

The skids at the front of the
motor-base, upon which the model
aeroplane rests when 1t Is upon the
ground, are made of bamboo split
from a fishpole. The sticks should
be about the size of the large end
of toothpick. Four of them are
needed, each about three and one
half inches long. These sticks are
bound flat to the mote1-stick, two
on each side, as sbcwn in the draw
ing last weeb.
Bind Skids TO Motor-Stick
The first two are bound n inch
from the front of the stick, and
the others11a inches to the rear of
these. The tips of each pair are
bound together as shown in the
diagram just mentioned. Now If
these skids are held together in the
steam coming from a kettle and the
tips spread about two inches apart,
1t will be found that they will re-,
main in this position when allowed
to cool. This makes a firm land

loop which guides the rubber and
is called a "can,' and the rear hook
to which the rubber is fastened.

The Green Canoe

MIR. Setman, the father Of Martin
Setman, owned a large woods on
the outskirts of the town. Through
the woods flowed small swift
stream, in which were many rapids.
Its source was a large lake called
Mirror Lake.
Martins best friend and chum
was Charles Cromet. All during
the school year they had talked
about camping in Martins fathers
woods. AT the end OF the year they
started to make preparations for
camping. They took with them
hatchets, a tent, cots, and other
camp necessities, including large
Jack knives. After bidding their
fathers and mothers goodbye, they
started toward the woods.

Indian Life Of Long Ago

The Indians lived in this country
before we did. They lived in wig
vans made of deer skins and
raised corn and made cofn-lneal.
They killed bears and deer, and
cooked them and ate them.
Indians use bows and arrows. The
Indian boys went out hunting and
shot rabbits and squirrels. The
girls went walnut hunting and
Sometimes cracked them and ate
them. When they came home,
their mothers put the nuts In a bag
made of deer skin or bear skin.
The Indian fathers went hunting
and shot bears and deers. They
made canoes out of birch tree bark,
the bows and arrows out OF linn
Der piece of birch tree.
The Indian mothers had to take
care of the gardens, and hoe and
plant the corn, and pull It. They
would grind it. They did not have
apples or pears. 1t was all dark In
the woods long time ago. There
were no white people there then

there were Pilgrims.
Some of the Indians were kind
to the Pilgrims, and some We're
not. Indians helped them. A long
time after that our white men had
a big fight with the Indians, and
chased them out of their land. Now
we live in their land.
Some OF the Indians that lived in
another country made houses out
OF mud and sticks. The Indian
girls strung beads and wove bas-
kets out of grass. They made beads
out of pretty shells that came from
a big river. The men wore hats
filled with bright-colored feathers.

Nellie Shot the Chutes
In This Grain Elevator


Nellie, a fox terrier. warns all
the dogs in the world to watch
their step. Nellie didn't do that
when she visited the Consolidated
Grain Elevator at Williams, Ont.
Curious about big belt flying
along with its load of wheat, Nellie
stepped on it. Before she could
even yelp she was whirled into the
shipping bin in a maelstrom OF
grain, dropping fifty-five feet into
darkness.
Before she could get to her feet
she was sucked into the chute lead
ing to the hold OF a steamer. AT
the other end of the chute was
government inspector carrying out
his testing duties. The hurting dog
carried the sampling case out or
his hand.
A dock worker jumped into the
hold and rescued Nellie and the
sampling case.
A sneeze was the only i'll effect
of her eventful trip.

Serena, hesitatingly Surely her
work was growing almost beyond
her power Of planning.
why, we could put 1t on our
own lot over there, OF course; but
that's just 1t. After we bought the
lot, John got sick, and we had to
use up all that we had saved
toward putting UP the house"
The lot pointed out was a narrow

the blacksmith shop, but it was
big enough to put little house on
and have some ground In the back

with a ierky motion; going round

it drops like a falling leaf to the
