ANGELL MAKES ADDRESS
President of Yale Makes His First Commencement Speech Today COngratulates Old Grads.

New Haven, June 20.-President James Rowland Angell of Yale made his first commencement address to Yale alumni at the meeting of that body today President Angell spoke of the success of the Common fresh man year" system, pointing out that the average scholarship of last Sep tember's entering class was ap- preciably higher than that of any previous year. He emphasized the great embarrassment of the university in coping with oversize entering class es and the consequent danger of grave overtaxing of the staff, with the effect of rapidly diminishing the actual eff ficiency of the teaching.
 President Angell reviewed the edu cational events of the year and com mented on the change in deanships of three of the university's nine schools
 In conclusion he paid a tribute to Yale alumni saying:
 Tt has been a great pleasure to meet so many of these men who have brought to Yale her high repute and to sense by direct contact the vlgor and sincerity of their support"

WALL ST. MESSENGER
 TO WEAR BRIGHT RED
Brokers Will Try to Foil Bandits by Dressing Their Carriers in
 Conspicuous Clothes.

New York, June 20.-New York is going to try something new today tc foil its bandits who prey on Wall street messengers hastening through the financial district each day with vast sums in securities.
 Abandoning the old theory that a messenger should look as inconspic- uous and unputocratic as possible, several brokerage houses have decided to test the antithesis, by dressing their messengers in the brightest of red coats and hitching five pound portable safes around their waists.
 Security owners decided the old theory must be wrong. because hold up men never made a mistake in the identity of their victims and by let ting the whole world know a mes senger when it saw one, 1t could run to his assistance if his head was being beaten in.
 And the safe has a trick to it, too. A steel chain encircling the mes senger's waist under the coat, escapes through a hole on the left side and is padlocked inside the safe, of whose combination the messenger is himself ignorant So he has to come back to get free, as the key to the paddock is kept in the office.

Chicago Physician Reports It Success

Chicago, June 20-Some forms of cancer, considered incurable for years have at last surrendered to science, according to Dr. T. Howard Plank of Chicago. Its external manifestations can be cured by radio, he asserts.
 Before the National society of Phy- sical Therapeutics, at the annual con- yention of the American Institute of homeopathy, Dr. Plank promised to demonstrate his contention at clinic on Wednesday, Two sufferers from cancer have already been healed he maintained, the last not two weeks ago.
 The electrical scalpel is run by radio" he explained. 'rhe machine uses the same current that is used in sending radio messages. The treat ment is an absolute and permanent cure for cancer where it can be reach- ed on the surface"
 There is no actual contact between the diseased tissues and the knife" Dr. Plank went on. As soon as the instrument approaches the flesh of the infected part withers up and dis appears"
 The patient is placed under twilight sleep, the surgeon said Tn four or five days he is out of bed and in ten or twelve days is on the street again.

CHILE TRADE RECOYERS
Business With Germany Is Improving And Markets Today Are Filled With Ready Buyers.

London, June 20.-The rapid re-
 covery of German trade with Chile since the war is emphasized in a re-
 port of the Department of Overseas Trade. Chile like many other countries, the report says, owes to British enterprise and capital it's position as a factor in the worlds markets today
 The first British firm was establish ed there sthrae-quarters of century ago and waSfo}towed shortly by many others. TSffmans were not long in taking t&RR yeeond position in the field, folloVeGtn. very recent years by the UnitssStes Some years He7 fore theJkNak Germany became a strong cqNetft6r of Great Britain, and the A1teds States steadily gained ground. Iem the outbreak of the war, however, everything went in fav- or of the United States and from 1915 to 1919 they secured all Germany's lost trade, plus about 10 per cent. of the British.
 There is every indication," con- cludes the report, that the British manufacturer has now much more to fear from German competition than from American. German imports to Chile increased from only f52, ,o00 in 1919 to f1,5S0,000 in 1920 and a very marked progress will probably be noticeable in German trade with Chile when figures as available for the pres ent year."

BRICKLAYER CHAMPION
British Workman Lays 100000 of Them Himself in Two Years on Ok ford Theater.
ford Theater.

London, June 20-The champion ship in bricklaying, from the stand point of amount of work done by one man, is claimed by British work man. Hotham Browne. Single-hand- ed he has just finished laying all the bricks. 700, ,000 of them, in the OK fcrd theater at Workington, Cumber- land. The job took two years Had he worked under unions rules he woud have laid only 450,000 bricks in this same length of time.
 The magnitude of this undertaking is shown by the fact that the building is 15O feet long and 50 feet wide and accommodates 1,400 people. Browne ignored all trade union rules and regulations and just went ahead lay ing brick after brick day after day. When he had laid the first 100000 people christened the building "Browne's monument" but it is now known in the town as the house that Browne built
