GONZAGA COLLEGE OUT
FOR BASEBALL WORKOUT

Gonzaga College baseball players
are expecting a big season. Candi.
dates are to be called out Monday
at the l street institution, and
while the team has not been select
ed, some formidable candidates are
already known to be ready for the
year.
Folliard, Harrington and Foley
are expected to do mound duty.
Kelly is expected to be a fixture
at first base, with Collins at second.
Boucher seems assured of the short.
stop position.
The Purple and White is looking
forward to a first-class season, and
while the schedule is by no means
completed, Gonzaga expects to play
several out-of-town contests, taking
on Georgetown Props, Briarly Hall

others.

BOXING is IN DISFAvOR
WITH CALIFORNIA LADS

The art OF self-defense or knuckls
pushing, as the ringside element pre-
fer to term II, does not appear to be
very popular pastime among the
collegians OF the coast. Stanford
University has just been forced to
cancel a boxing meet with the Olyrl-
pic Club of San Francisco due to an
inability to get enough men to round
out a full team. Although eight
classes were to be represented in the
bouts the best the university ring
authorities could do was to sign up
four boxers.

Constitution, but it is i'll timed
just when so much attention must
be given the status of college

The country at large constantly is
sending its best boys on to New
York rings because the money and
prestige are here. Gay Gotham is
supposed to be the center of the
boxing and wrestling industries, but
II matters do not look up pronto
both will awake one Of these fine
mornings to find themselves dead,
which is no way to find yourself.
The present boxing code calls for
a composite decision BY referee
and two judges. The latter are not
popular, and no matter who
occupies the judges chairs their
decisions are decried as being the
handiwOrk Of men stricken pre-
maturely blind.
At the Britton-S Shade champion
ship bout recently Tommy Shortell
once prominent fighter himself
and Artie McGovern, who conducts
gymnasium for boxers, occupied
the judges chairs. Both might be
looked upon as qualified ring jurists
but after they called the bout a
draw popular opinion condemned
them as incompetent.
1t therefore narrows down to a
question Of what may be deemed the
more acceptable verdict, the popular
or the judicial. The spectators
thought that Britton was given the
worst of 1t in receiving a draw, yet
1t is a matter of record that Britton
didn't receive n single vote. Shortell
and Referee Patsy Haley voting for
a draw and McGovern for Shade.
All three are practical boxing
men. How, then, to account for the
fact that they failed to realize that
Britton was supposed to have Shade
look like a novice? Also, what OF
the story given some circulation
that Shortell first voted for Shade
and then changed his decision be,

of the boxing commission, standing
behind him, clucked his tongue in

ALL HAD ORIGIN IN EAST
Architectural Ornaments in Use Today
First Designed by Mesopo
tamian Builders.

The blue-domed mosque of the Imam
Shahzada Husain, in Kazvin, carries
on q tradition that extends back to
the days Of the Sassanid sultans of
Persia, back even to the remoter
times of Assyria, according to q writer
in Asia Magazine. The cupola and the
ogive, distinctive marks Of Moslem
architecture, be 1t in Egypt or India
or Turkey, had their origin in Mesopo-
tamia, where wood for rafters and
lintels has always been scarce and
construction has been chiefly in brick.
The minarets that rise gracefully
above every Mahommedan city have
been reflected through time from the
Chaldean observatories and the Tower
of Babel The rich ornamentation Of
enameled tiles on dome and walls and
the overlay Of brilliant metals that
marks the lofty cupolas of many
mosques, are also heritages from an
tiquity. The columns of mosque In
teriors are derived from classic
Greece and Rome. The designs worked
in tiles or In stucco may in many
cases be traced back to ancient
models, and they are found, repeated
over and over again, in the pottery,
the textiles, the carpets Of the East.
The wars Of the Crescent carried this
architecture into the West through
Spain and Byzantium, into the East
through India. Its influence may be
traced In buildings the world over.

Melting Carbon.

Carbon may be melted and main
tanned in a liquid condition, according
to the experiments of a French in
vestigator. The heating was effected
under great pressure in the electric
furnace. and a curious phenomenon
was noticed at 1900 atmospheres,
namely, that after a brief failure Of
the arc, the current refused to pass
even when the power was much in
creased. 1t is supposed that as the
carbon passed into liquid and trans
parent state, it assumed q rare allo-
tropic form, becoming non-con-
ductor The test was too brief for a
study of this condition, but was made
to include a sudden cooling of the
molten carbon by flooding with wa
ter of the interior of the pressure
vessel. The minute diamonds were
recognized in the gray powder thus
obtained, the result being, however
not wholly satisfactory.

SEEK TOO GREAT ACCURACY
Even Celebrated Engineers Have Been
Known to Waste Time on In
necessary Measurements.

There can be too great accuracy. ac-
cording to Chemical and Metallurgfcal
Engineering which saws:
I'VE recall one instance where a
celebrated engineer was preparing a
set of tables for publication and was
using set of 12-pIace logarithms. We
asked why he used 12-place tables and
he replied that they were the best he
could md, that he had heard there
We're 2O-place tables but he had been
unable to locate them. The interest
ing thing about this anecdote is that
practically all the data which the cele-
DRAFTED engineer was tabulating had
an accuracy which was seldom better
than l per cent and an ordinary 12-
inch slide rule would have been amply
accurate for the work.
Again, when a young engineer is
ABOUT to make mathematical calcu-
lat1on, say for example the surface of
heatln9 coils necessary to obtain GER
tam results, he will almost invariably
sit down and calculate it to an ac-
curacy of tenth or even hundredth
OF l per cent, and this in spite of the
fact that the constant factor in the
equation (the rate of heat transfer)
may not be known within so per cent.
Herein lies one excellent reason
why many practical man with good
common sense and q wide experience
has been able to compete with en-
gineers in many fields"

WOUNDED HAWK FLEW FAR
With Spear In Its Body, Bird Had
Travelled Distance Of Two
Thousand Miles.

AS hawk was swooping on the
poultry yard Of q farmer on the Yaal
river, Africa, the farmer shot and
killed it. Then he found embedded
in its body what appeared to be an
arrow, two feet six inches in length,
that apparently had been carried by
the bird for a considerable period.
AS the arrow was Of a peculiar
kind unknown in the Trarsvaal, in
quiries were made and a description
given, and it was found that the az
row was made by a native tribe, the
Akambas of Kenyaland, 1000 miles
away from the place where the hawk
was killed.
Further inquiries showed that the
transiixing Of the hawk by a small
spear, by an Akamba native, was well
remembered. The hawk had caused
much loss in a chicken run, and was
speared by a concealed native, but
was rescued and carried off by its
mate, and evidently recovered from
the wound though it could not rid it

MARK LOVERS RESTING PLACE
Pretty indian Legend Concerning
Trees of Somewhat Peculiar Growth
at Athens, Tennessee.

About a century and quarter ago,
near where Athens, Tenn. now stands,
lived Cherokee chief and his beauti-
full Indian daughter, Nicolula KOwena.
She was betrothed to young chief OF
her tribe when white youth came
into the village, met her, won her love
and succeeded in getting her to break
her betrothal to the Indian brave and
promise to marry her white lover, re-
lates the Ladies' Home Journal. The
disappointment fired the heart Of the
discarded Indian sutton with spirit
Of revenge. Watching his opportunity,
he stole upon the two lovers when
they were seated on fallen log in
secluded spot and plunged his knife
into the heart Of the white man who
had robbed him of his sweetheart.
But Nicolula Kowena, rendered
frantic by the death Of her lover,
seized the knife, plunged it into her
own breast and fell dying across his
feet. Later their bodies were found
and buried where they fell. According
to the tribal custom in burying the
unmarried, q twig Of forest tree and
its fruit was placed IN one hand Of
each.
Today there are two large trees
with roots and branches inteflock0d-
one a large black oak and the other

REALLY NOT MUCH TO 1T

Arthur is a manly young chap who

He had secured position in an office
where several times he had been in

He always declined the invitation.
From various bits of information
the lad had let fall, mother believed
the man was interested in her son and
thought the boy ought to accept the
invitation. "Why don't you go with
him7" she asked Arthur one day at
the dinner table.
I'm afraid" he answered. 81 might
not know what to do. You know
might do the wrong thing"
Now, mother had been very particu-
lar in the training she had given the
boy and was proud Of the result. She
had perfect confidence In him. So
with a serious face mother simply re-
marked: "Why, all you have to do is
to keep your hat on, put your feet on
the table, put your knife in your
mouth, make as much noise as pos
sible when you eat and"
"Mother!" shouted Arthur, look of
amazement on his face. Then the
humor of it struck him and there was
much merry laughter.
Next morning Arthur informed
mother that he had gone TO lunch
with the boss. Everything was fine,
and we had good talk, too" he
added.
Were you embarrassed" asked
mother.
"Of course not!" he answered in
surprise. Why should I be-" And
