Partisan lad
Criqui is nearly FIVE years h

in nineteen rounds, and by Pal Moore.

They claim that, prior to these

body punishment. They declare that,

the method Of the Americans and that
in addition to his terrific punching
power he has a clever defense, and
that his work in i~n-nghting has shown
much Improvement.
Others argue the fact that two boys
have beaten him decisively shows that
the champion, with his ring technique,
should hold the F%renchman safe. even
allowing that he has gone back from
his best form
The fact that Rilbane has done little

KILL GULLS WITH MATCHES
Birds Are Poisoned In Search for
Food Along Thames Embank-
ment at London.

Proof that the average Londoner Is
ardently fond of birds was furnished
q short time ago when the report Of
the untimely death of several score
of gulls out of the thousands that
daily fiutter over the foggy Thames
was given prominent space in the
metropolitan newspapers and called
forth general Indignation.
One of the oldest customs in Lon
don is the feeding of the gulls along
the Thames embankment, where hun
dreds of persons daily stand, throwing
breadcrumbs into the air and watch
ing the swirling gulls catch the NOR
sells on the wing with uncanny ac-
curacy.
The other day the bodies Of a num-
Der of gulls were found floating in
the river. An investigation disclosed
that some person, instead of throwing
breadcrumbs to the birds, had fed
them matches, the phosphorus ends
of which poisoned them.

GREAT SINGERS WERE MINERS
Underground Workers Have Con-
trlbuted Largely to the Ranks
Of Famous operatIo Artists.

A foreign dispatch calls attention to
wonderful phenomenon which has
been manifesting itself in the coal
fields Of Belgium and in other mining
districts. From the ranks Of the
miners, the underground, molelihe
workers, there has come a series of
great singers. not just one or two, but
number. The great Dufresne,
Bouilliez, Ansseau Of the Opera
ComiQue Of Paris, Descamps, a ia
nous Faust, and many others were
all miners. OF couse, we all know Of
the unusual rise to fame Of the roll
licking Harry Lauder, whose ire
pressible lifting mirth had Its origin
in a Scotch mine But these conspicu-
Gus examples are not all. It Is re-
ported that in the coal mines of Liege
the men have the habit Of singing as
cent effect.
Press agents for the great singers
have been fond Of telling how they
learned their art from the birds. II
Is their favorite story. But these
miners have no such Inspiration. AS
far away as possible from the blue
sky, the free air, the music Of the
birds and the leaves and the winds
and the sea, they still dream of and
produce music. 1t seems paradoxical.
But the human soul has Its own music,
as well as the winds and birds and
other phenomena Of nature. Possibly,

harmony to escape in expression

Calais, May II, 1928.
To the Editor of The American:
How dear to my heart are the
scenes of my childhood"
Perhaps some one will be inter-
ested to know that yesterday l was
over to st. Stephen, when I was
greeted with Hello, joe" l looked
up into the face of my one-time
neighbor and longtime friend, Eu-
gene Moon, now a successful drum
mer for Boston oil house.
Well, sir, he had ten minutes, and
! filed that time with questions
about the old home. From there we
called at all the houses UP to the
Corner" / learned some of the old
ones were still living, and strangers
had come in to fill the places
vacant by those who had PASSED
over.
The few minutes were like an oasis
to me. No, we didn't mention the
unheard of winter, and the food that
has just passed. Didn't have time,
but somehow l got taste of the old
home and the other days that have
gone The meeting brought sad
nes9 for the ones who have gone,
and a gladness that l had met and
talked to one so recently from the
old place "Be is ever so humble.
there's no place like home"
Those who have been away from
home thirty years and longer know
what l am saying; others do not.
/ came home with a glad feeling
that I could claim Hancock as my
birthplace. We have heard the
praises of a few from time to time,
who have made good, but there are
others We are all glad that the old
town does not, and never has pro-
duced a real out-and-out criminal.
AS l remember the place. we never
locked the doors at night, the
clothes hung on the line over night
undisturbed, the ak on the block by
the woodpile and the hoe in the gar
den, the boat and fish lines could
be left at the shore. Our neighbour
interest was ours, and such was the
home life forty years ago. l am told
that next year I can come back to see
if it has changed.
And now l am going to ask you,
who have not seen the inside of your
bible since you can remember, to dig
it out, and read the 18th Psalm.
My verses are 4, and 6.

OF ruff1es and lace. The laces and
ribbons and other returns to the

that the material be punched into
