MATERIAL AGE
 SPELLS DEATH
 T0ALLARTISTS

LONDON, Sept 20.-Modern civi- lization, which has been Americanized, is all wrong! You can take this from c. R. w. Nevinson, the brilliant young English artist.
 English people care more for limou- sines and hot baths than they do for art, Nevinson believes, and he is more or less peeved by that desire for lux ury which permits the' wealthy public to spurn the painted product of the artist in favor of the wares of the au- tomobie salesman.
 Nevinson says his net profits from art for the past four years have been but $500 a year. He even tried an art exhibition in America and lost $4,5OO on that venture.
 It's the "monstrously material civi- lization of today that is holding Brit ish art back, Nevinson declares.
 q have managed since 1910, after a stern course of privation, to keep body and soul together as professional artist by the simple expedient of al ways putting away seventyfive per cent of everything I earn and stretch ing credit to the most fantastic lengths, never paying any kind of a bill till it goes to the most vivid of scarlets; because one receives little attention and no credit from trades

EVERY OFFICER ATHLETE IS GOVERNMENT PLAN
 IN MILITARY TRAINING

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2Q.-Every officer an athlete" is the big idea be- hind the training of the future gen erals and admirals of the American Army and Navy today.
 At Annapolis Rear-Admiral Henry B. Wilson, the superintendent, is backing every midshipman to tackle as many forms of sport as his talents permit At present of the 2,200 flu ture naval officers more than 1900 are tout" for some athletic team. Be sides the popular favorites of baseball ball, lacrosse, hockey, swimming, fenc' ing, tennis, boxing and wrestling teams at the academy, so that the cadet has wide field of operations.
 Sports have become a part of the curriculum at West Point, the Army's school During the four-year course of training the cadet is required to de- vote a certain number of hours every week to a regular schedule of various sports, similar to the range at An napolis, and including among others, polo. The routine gymnasium training is carried out at both academies in addition to the various athletic con- petitions.
 The underlying idea, of course, is that if every officer is qualified exponent of several forms of athletic training when that officer has com mand of a group of men later he will be an interested and capable leader in their recreation as we'll as in the field of war.

HEN LAYS AN EGG SIZE OF A PEANUT

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Sept. 20.- A Rhode Island hen, the property of Frank Marco, manager of farm owned by F. A. J. Hewat at Brigges- vile, laid an egg the shape of a pea nut and even having rough coating. The egg, which is just the size of a peanut, could easily be taken for one. It is considered the most re- markable seen in these parts in some time.

That II of the most usual
places for wear on a car Is at
the steering knuckles, which
are always under a heavy
strain. Comparatively few IA
owners realize that the knuckles
need a constant supply of heavy
grease In order to prevent UNI
due wear, and for this reason 1t
is the part of wisdom to e
that the proper lubricant Is APP
plled-either through screwing
down the grease cups or using
the grease gun. A good rule
TO follow In this respect Is to
grease the knuckles whenever
Il Is put in the ear or, at least,
whenever the oil Is changed.
Worn steering k~nuckles are
also one of the lnfallible signs
of an oyer-used car and, in pur-
chasing a secondhand machine,
these should be inspected in or
der To see whether the a has
been used or abused. In this
respect, the k~nuckles, together
with several other particular
parts, are regarded as the
teeth of the automobile, for
an examination of these will
disclose the real age of the car
not the length of time which
has elapsed since Its original
purchase or even the number of
miles II has been driven, but
the care II has received.

The Cornell Dodger game sched-
uled for next Sunday at the fight
arena has been postponed by the
Cornell management.
Last Sunday the Cornells travelled
TO Hegewisch. where they lost
gruelling contest to the crack foot
ball team of that town. In the
course OF that battle four of Cor
nell's best backheld men we're IN
jured. And the doctor claims that
they will not be able to play for at
least two weeks.
Consequently. the Cornens have
put off the Dodger game until No
vember 10Th. when they will bring
out a real team" to quote the exact
words OF their manager. That is
how high they rate Coach Pat Nc
Shane's wonder eleven.
The Dodgers sent a scout over to
Hegewisch last Sunday to see the
argument. And he reports that
p. ]. Cars crew is stronger than
ever this season. The Hegewisch
outfit was able to beat them only
through the loss OF Cornelrs star
backfield men BY injury early in
the game. This loss put the Cor
nells at a great disadvantage and
subsequently spelled their defeat
This scout also has a complete
map of the mole effective plays the
Cornells used in that game. Coach
Pat McShane will Immediately draw
up 4 plan OF defense against them.
Anothe- game which is attracting
much attention in the Dodger camp
and also in the entire town, is the
proposed Scatena- Dodger match for
Thanksgiving Day at Hammond.
Coach Pat McShane has a complete
line on the Scatena system of play
and he claims that the Dodgers viii

SHAPE FOR O'KEEFE
FIGHT, FRIDAY EVE,

no man has ever worked harder
70 get ready for a fistic event than
Jimmy clab5y for his ten-round go
with Dennis OKeefe, at Indiana
Harbor. Friday evening
This Is the message penned by
sam Hall, fight critic Of a Chicago
morning paper, who is to referee
the Clabby-OKeefe bout.
According to gossip in the fight
fraternity there is good deal of
bad blood between Clabby and the
south Chicago battler This is easv
to understand for those who know
how boastful ard sarcastic O.Keefe
can be. Not that he hasn't some
excuse for his egotism; he is a
tough customer to deal with in a
ring. But that does not save him
from being offensive to his pros
pective opponent
The truth is that O'keefe's jibes
have gotten under Jimmy's hide and
the Hammond scrapper is WORKING
as he has never worked before to
get into condition. Clabby is not
known as a X. o. fighter but that i
onto O'Keefe.
With the prospect OF grudge
battle at the auditorium in Indiana
Harbor Friday night. the fans are
grabbing off the tickets and a big
crowd is assured
Larney Lichenstein. Clabby's man
ager, writes the following letter
about the forthcoming fray.
Jimmy Clabby IS now ready to
demonstrate to Dennis O'Keefe. the
South Chicago star. that he is his
master at every angle of the box
ing game. Jimmy is going to give
Dennis the boxing lesson of his life
and a battle that he will never for
get. The men are to weigh in at
154 at 3 O'Clock the day of the con
test, which is a weight that is easy
for each Of the battlers. When the
