SEES LACK OF IMAGINATION
Cleveland Writer Thinks BIunders Of
School Children Are Less
Funny Than They Were.

1T doesn't seem to me-" says the
Cleveland observer. that the blunders
school children make nowadays are as
funny as they used to be. And this,
as the sociOlOgist will tell you, argues
that the school children haven't the
imagination they used to have. 1t
takes imagination to produce enter
taining blunders Of this sort, as any
school teacher will tell YOU"
Here are two related by Cleveland
teacher. To the question, "What do

The other question was, "Who was

Liner Delayed to Save Life.

The value that we set on human
life today has been dramatically IL
lustrated by an incident on the Allan
tic ocean.
An explosion in the engine-room
Of freight ship caused terrible In.
juries to the second engineer, a young
man named O'Neal. There was no doc
tor on board, so the captain sent out
wireless calls for assistance.
Seven ships replied. In six cases
doctors told the captain what treat.
ment would be likely to give the best
results.
But one passenger liner did more
than this; 1t put $50 miles out Of it's
course and sent lifeboat with the
ships doctor In II, who attended to
the patient and then had him trans
ferred to his ship. When the liner
reached England he was comfortable
and on the way to recovery.

"Dead Nebulae."

There has been photographed a
most singular object In the constella-
tiOn Taurus, the appearance Of which
suggests the term dead nebula." 1t
Is long, struggling mass, which
seems to shut out the stars behind 1t.
All round 1t the stars are strewn
thickly, but within It's boundaries
very few appear and 1t is suggested
that these may lie on this side of 1t.
At one point there is small, bright
nebula, which gradually fades out.
The feebler portions of the nebula
would almost suggest that a large
nebula exists here, but that the major
portion of 1t Is dead or non-lumlnous.
In some places the dark object is
manifestly darker than the starless
parts Of the sky around it.-Washing-

TO PICK DAVIS CUP
TEAM THIS WEEK
TiIden and William M. Johnston
Certain to Be Among
Those Selected
FOUR NATIONS YET SURVIVE

New York. July 17.--Of the fourteen
nations which challenged the United
States 70 defend the Davis Cup, SYM
bolic of the worlds tennis champion =
ship. only four remain as possible con :
tenders. Australia, France, Spain and
the British Isles.
Since the tennis season began six M :
tions have been eliminated by defeats
on the court. Belgium. Rumania, Den :
mark. Czecho- Slovakia. India and
Italy. and the others, for various rea =
sons, eliminated themselves through de-
faults, the principal excuse being the
enormous expense. Of transporting q
team.
All the first and second round pre-
liminary matches were played in Eu-
rope, too far away from Canada,
Hawaii, the Philippines and Japan for
those nations to send representatives,
but three Of the four remaining matches
and possibly all of them will be staged
in this country.
The American Davis Cup Committee
will late this week select the team that
will defend the nation at the net. Four
players probably will be chosen, two
singles and two doubles players.
Selection seems to be centered about
William r. Tilden, I'd. American cham
pion, who did not defend his right to
the British title at Wimbledon this
year; William NJ. Johnston. Of Cali =
fOrnia, former national champion Wat
son NJ. Washburn, Of New York; X.
Norris Williams. I'd, of Boston, and
Vincent Richards, Of Yonkers. The
first two are certain. The first four
made up the team last year.
The history Of the four surviving
teams so far is: France won by default
from Canada and then defeated Den
mark: Australia won from Belgium and
then from Czecho- -Slovakia; Spain won
by default from the Philippines and
then defeated India: the British Isles
drew bye in the first round and then
defeated Italy. The winner of the
France Australia match will meet the
victor in the Spain British Isles set to
in this country.
The Australasians are considered the
more formidable. On the team are Ger
aid Patterson, who won the singles
championship at Wimbledon; J. .. An
derson, who with Randolph Lycett, of
England, won the doubles, and Pat
OHara Wood, who, with Mile. Su-
zanne Lenglen, won the mixed doubles
championship at Wimbledon.
The French and Spanish teams OF
Cochet and Borotra and Count De Go
mar. NJ. Alfonso and Z. Flaqucr, respec- :
lively. are made up of sensationally
playing young men. The British team
that defeated Italy was composed of +.
