MARBLES AND CHARACTER.


Much attention was attracted
last summer Gby marble playing
contest held at Jersey City, N. j., un-
der the direction Of the park and
playground authorities. Five thous-
and boys entered. Rules and regula-
tions were established. The contest
attracted intense interest. Later the
winner Charles Rech, played the
champion of the city of washington
and now claims the worlds cham
pionship.
This idea was started because it
was noticed how the boys were
quarrelng over their marble games.
BY establishing regular rules and
requiring sportsmanlike conduct,
they were taught to play fair and
conduct themselves in a gentlemanly
manner. Here is a msanA by which
the boys Of Brookhaven could be
given some early lessons in clean
athletics and honorable conduct.

WHY crow il Called Criminal.

The Agricultural department issued
a biography of the crow in which it
says:
''Its ability to commit such misdeeds
as pulling corn anG stealing eggs and
fruit and to get away unscathed Is lit
tie short Of marvellous. Much of the
crows success In life Is due to CO.
operation, and the social instinct of the
species has its highest expression In
the winter roosts, which are some
times frequented by hundreds Of thou
sands Of crows. From these roosts
daily flights Of many miles are made
In search of food.
"The insect food of the crow In
cludes wireworms, cutworms, white
grubs and grasshoppers, and during out
breaks Of these insects the crow rem.
ders good service. But chiefly because
of its destruction. of beneficial wild
birds and their eggs the crow must be
classed as a criminal"

How Regions Got Name.

Ultima Thule (Uppermost Thule)
was name given in ancient times by
the inhabitants OF southern Europe to
the remote regions Of the unknown
north. The Greek navigator Pytheas
made a voyage along the coast of
Britain and wrote an account Of what
he learned about the Shetland islands
and Orkney islands and possibly the
north mainland, calling the region
Thule. The name became vague in its
application, especially under the form
Ultima Thule.
Norway, Iceland, ETC., bore the title
in their turn, and many strange SUI
perstitions were current regarding the
region.

Is very important question, and the

1t is impossible to tell the best time

be large and vigorous.

Laddie Boys Reputation
Saved When Errant "Son"
Proves Black Sheep Brother
(By Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-Sleuths, Of
varying degrees OF importance from
gimlet-eyed boys to New Jersey police
detectives, have run to earth the scan
dal which for a moment threatened to
break the calm of the White House
and disturb the Republican party.
They have determined once and for all
absolutely and positively, that Laddie
Boy, President Harding's dog, is no
Lothario, but that his brother is a
dog which plays with goats.
Yesterday, it was announced that
Laddie Boys eldest son, Happy-and
there the scandal started. The mere
fact that Happy, belonging to Charles
Cofelt of West New York. N. Y, was
lost was as nothing. Laddie Boy OBJ
jected TO that eldest son statement.
The sleuths were called in. They
magnified footprints, and searched the
byways and highways. Finally they
found Happy. He was playing with
a herd of goats up along the Palisades
and he admitted he was only Laddie
Boys black sheep brother.
| OF course there's a scandal about

playing with goats, but what's that Il

cording to Professor Roy c. Flickin-

Northwestern salaries are equal to
those paid in other universities, but

GERMAN PAPERS FACE
DETERMINATION, SAYS
REPORT FROM BERLIN
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug 18-German
papers are facing determination, ac-
cording to a report to the commerce
department today from Commercial
Attache Herring at Berlin. Enormous
ly increased cost of operation, he said,
together with the impossibility of in
creasing subscription and advertising
rates proportionately have brought
about crisis in the German news
paper world and already lit news
papers have closed down their plants
permanently.
Printers wages, the attache re-
ported, have increased about LOO per
cent over pre-war levels, the price of
newsprint paper has advanced more
than 500 per cent, the cost of machin-
cry, printers ink and other supplies
have jumped about 40 times over pre-
war rates and the great increase in
! the postal, telephone and telegraph
service has severely affected the pub
| fishers.
Income Rises Slowly
| On the other hand, he said, the sub
scription price of German newspapers
has had an average increase of only
about 1900 per cent while it has been
impossible to advance advertising
rates to compensate for present op
Grating costs without affecting the
volume of business.
The suggestion has been made thai
the government reduce taxation at
fecting newspaper costs or that the
press be subsidized through the min
lister of education to prevent the Diet
rimental effect upon the nation of thu
loss of an active and efficient pres
service.
