KILLED BY THE KURDS
Proof That Syria Isn't Healthy For
American Professors

New York, Nov. 3.-Lester James
Wright of Waukesha, Wis, formerly
a professor at the University of Wis
consin, who're murner near Aleppo,
Syria, was reported early this week,
met his death at the hands Of eight
Kurd bandits, said a cablegram to the
Near East relief headquarters detail
| ing the attack.
Wright, Enoch r. Applegate Of
Jersey City, N. j., native chauffeur,
and two native relief workers were
returning to Aleppo by automobile
from Antioch, where they had been
on an inspection tour, the cable said,
when they were fired on without
warning. Wright was instantly killed
! by bullet through the neck, and Ap-
plegate was wounded in the leg. The
chauffeur was slightly scratched but
the other two members of the party
escaped injury. They were allowed to
proceed after the bandits had strip
ped them of all valuable personal
property.
Wright had just been made direc-
tor of the Near East relief unit at
Harpoot, and had planned to return
to his station the next day. He was
buried last Monday at the American
church in Beirut with impressive cere-
monies attended by leading Ameri-
leans, Greeks and Armenians in the
lefty.

FLORIDA BOYS At
FOOTBALL PRACTICE
Preparing to Put Up the Game OF
Their Young Lives With
Harvard Tomorrow

Cambridge, Nov 3-The University
OF Florida football squad accompanied
by President Murphree and a lively
alligator mascot arrived today and
was soon at practice in the Harvard
stadium for its game with the Grim
son eleven tomorrow. Coach Kline
said the players stood the trip well
but that the team would probably go
into action with three regulars out,
Scott nursing a bad leg and Barchon
and Case being indisposed. The Har-
ward men will be mostly second string
players.

STRIVING TO FIX THE
STATUS OF SAURIANS

Washington, Nov. 3.-When is, and
when isn't, an alligator a harmless
animal, has been a much mooted ques-
ton. Those who have undergone the
still more or less discussed fictional
adventure of the destruction in big
gators switchable tail, are some
what decided. There are many folks
who still believe a youngster is a
playful pet that can be kept in the
parlor as a chum for the baby; but
one woh has had even the smallest
hang onto his amicably extended fore
finger with the grim persistence of a
steel wise, may still be firm in his be-
lief that its best to leave 'em alone
at any age.
The postoffice department, how
ever, has decided that while under
twenty inches overall length, the
baby saurian is harmless. So are
baby chicks, soft-shelled crabs, blood
worms and chameleons.
One may feel confident the blood
worm can be fondled with ease and
without fear of danger, and still have
his doubts also in regard to baby ter
rapins, but the latter also are classed
by the department as harmless.
This classification has been made
by the department for the ease OF
mind of harassed postmatsers whose
clients have sought to make of Their
Offices near-menageries. The mail
ability of live "mail matter" is still
hasy question among the genera
public, and even among many post
masters, the department declares, 81
to clear up the matter, circular ha.
been prepared to settle the question
For more than a year live fowl
and domestic animals were acceptable
for mailing under a ruling which pre-
scribed their handling only when tn
complete journey was made by moto
truck, but this ruling was revoke,
more than a year ago. Another ap
plying to the insurance and C. o. e
privileges of such shipments was no
modified, under which regulations
few shipments of live fowls and do
mestic animals have been accepted b
postmasters.
Only small live animals Having n
offensive odor and requiring no foo
Or water in transit" such as the an
mails mentioned, and their like, ma
be sent in the mails and insure
against loss. Alligators up to twent
inches are, included in the list.

OXFORD


night and many spooks, or imaginary
spirits, are walking among the beau
tiful little orange and pecan grove of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. L. Griggs, where
they have arranged to communicate
with each other and have revealed to
them their future torture or misfor-
tune.
Last Sunday Mr.. W. L. Brinson and
Mrs. J. S. Hall of Oxford, and Mr.. w.
T. Brinson of Wildwood, through
some previous arrangement went over
to Eureka, where they met Mr.. Adam
Brinson of Palatka, and a few other
special friends at the home of their
father, Mr.. J. J. Brinson, to enjoy a
small family reunion and otherwise
spend a day of real pleasure in the
old home, one of the most sacred
spots in the memory of our lives. In
our imagination we can see them
mixing and mingling with each other,
while sumptuous repast was being
prepared to be served under a large
| orange tree loaded with golden fruit,
and how they once more rehearsed the
little Incidents of childhood days of
fifty or sixty years ago, when they
were little tots about the fireside; and
their school days, the happiest of all
days. And we can hear, also, among
all the pleasant and happy thoughts
of this occasion, whether it was men
toned Or not, some Of the sad occur
rences along the path of life; of how
in due time the children became
grown and began to leave the fireside
and go out to distant lands, leaving
father and mother alone. And, had
dest of all, though it is the fate of US
all, it is only question when each
one will begin to depart this life, and
the places that once remembered US
will know us no more. Mr.. Brinson is
one of the most venerable citizens in
Marion county, being about eighty
three years old, and enjoys reasonable
good health, and in spite of a few sad
thoughts it was a pleasant day for
him. Let US hope that he may enjoy
many others.

ran the cars several miles up the
track, held up the mail clerks anc

SUBMARINE volcano a,,., :,
~ UT - -
CDy United i'ress.}

Il. Milo p E5oct 2sAA subma-
rinG volcanos height unknown has
appeared in the,Clebes sea, more than
200 miles southeast of the southern
tip of the, Philippine Islands.
The hydrograplc bureau of the
ROYAL Australian NAVY has warned
shipping of the eruption.
The appearance of the volcano was
quiet, according TO observations made
by the bureau of science of the Philip
pine Islands. No unusual seismic
waves have been reported to the
weather bureau in Manila and no de-
struction of Shipping has been re-
ported from the region of the vol
cano.
The regiohin which the volcano ap-
oeared is continually in a changing
state, DR.. Warren D. Smith, chief of
the division of mines of the bureau
of science, said. Scientists were not
surprised. he said, at the report of
the new volcano because Of the chang
ing condition of the earth's structure
from the China coast to the Austral-
ian shores.
Submarine VOLCANOES are not con-
tinually active any more than land
volcanoes" Dr.. Smith said. "They have
their periods of activity and then lie
dormant for long periods of time. Ac-
tivity usually consists merely of heat
ing the water around the mound and
occasionally throwing out pumic and
other slid matter which sometimes
form small shoals"
All VOLCANOES do not come above
The surface of the water, but some
merely throw up fine matter from
he water, according to Smith. Very
few observations have ever been
taken of submarine VOLCANOES, because
no scientist was ever on hand when
the first activities occurred, he said.
The appearance of the VOLCANOES has
mad disastrous effect on fish life in
the vicinity of the eruption, accord
ing to prominent fishmen in Manila
However, no reports have been re
ceived here of the wholesale killing
Of fish from volcanic gases.
