Right and Left H0nds

1t is fact not generally known that
the fingers of the right hand move
much more quickly than those of the
left. They are also much more ac-
curate, says London Tit-Bits.
Recent experiments have also proved
that the ring finger of the left hand
can work more quickly If it is moving
in conjunction with the right-hand
foreinger Any two fingers working
together, indeed, move considerably
faster than one finger working by It,

The more a person uses his or her
fingers the more adept they become. A
pianist or typist will find that, in time.

Use of CanUas Modern

It was not until 1920 that artists be-
gan to use canvas. The masters pre-
yious to that time worked in ceramics
or painted on wood and walls, then on
canvas stretched to a frame.
Many of the great painters ground
the pigments. and mixed their own col
ors. says the Detroit News
American supplies of art and indus
trial paint are dependent on a large va
riety Of foreign raw materials. We i'm
port Windsor and Newton, and still in
the opinion OF artists do not make
olors that give the annearanee Of age.

Love Letters Melt Snow.

Imprisoned in a snowdrift for 10
hours, Charles Seaman, the popular
nail carrier, reached here late this
evening to relate his terrifying ex-
pariences.
mr., Seaman started for this point
late-last night, carrying across his
shoulder small pouch Of letters.
Ordinarily the trip can be made in
three hours. but because of the
drifts he was not able to make much
progress. In the darkness he became
confused, finally wandering off the
road and becoming utterly lost.
At one point on the slope II the
mountain he lost his footing and fell
into deep ravine filled with drifted
snow. Iia lost Consciousness. How
long he remained there he does not
know, but when he revived he was
entirely buried with hard-packed
snow.
Mr.. Seaman, after considerable eff
fort, managed to arise, but when he
tried to tunnel out Of the drift his
strength failed Apparently he was
doomed TO die in the huge snowbank.
His attention was directed to the
mail pouch. and he discovered that
where it rested all the snow was melt
ed. "Ah, he exclaimed. this contains
burning iove-letters to girls in the
town. / will utilize them"
So saying he removed the letters
from the pouch, and, holding them,
in front Of him. he melted away the
drift and quickly reached the surface.

duties with the younger Hoffman.
Schang worked in 81 games and
Hoffman in 70. In previous years
Schang had done the bulk of the work.
Hoffman outhit and outfielded Schang
last year.
Hoffman is comparatively young.
This year should see him at the top
of his form, and Higgins may decide
to use him as his regular catcher in
stead of dividing the work as was
the case last summer.
Bengoug, who caught 10 games for
the Yankees last year and who is said
to have the best throwing arm in base
ball, will again be the third-string
catcher.
Autry, who came up from Texas,

A funny thing about this is that
Matt McGrath, the hammer thrower,
when n pdtrolman, performed an ex-
actly similar feat. McGrath jumped
from bridge into the Harlem and
pulled out drowning man on frosty
winter midnight. He received a
Congressional medal, but when you
ask Matt about it he tells the fun
niest story in the world, decorated
with limitations of the victims yells
and describing how Matt got stuck

"Friendly" Boxing Bout
in Mexico Degenerates
Into Battle of Knives

Monterey, Mexico, March %. -
That the real sporting side of the
boxing game cannot as yet be
learned by some of the Mexicans
was proved recently by two young
men of the working class here who
agreed TO have friendly bout with
the classic six-ounce gloves. As
the friendly boxing action degener-
atcd into a giveall and take-all
exchange of wild punches with no
heed to the finesse of the game.
which is well illustrated by men
like Mr.. Benny Leonard, the local
men before the first round Of the
friendly bout" was over had their
noses and mouths bleeding anil
their ears swollen, to say nothing
of the beautiful blue tinge on their
eyes.
There was no referee but there
were n lot of spectators, in their
majority factory workers. who
went wild over the mixup and be-
gan to take sides and yell with all
their might.
Up to the second round. the
friendly bout was slightly friendly
and some sarcastic smiles were
still produced by both of the ana
teur pugilists. but before the be.
ginning of the third round. some
thing happened to one of the con-
testants who was too sore. phySi-
cally and morally. took of his six
ounce gloves and searched his
pockets for n knife, an action
which is readily seen by his other
friendly boxing opponents who du-
plicatcd the action. and in less
than sixty seconds both men were
really fighting with their knives.
with such an impetus that some
thing serious would have taken
place had it not been for the in
terventions of the spectators.
A police officer who did not ap-
prove Of knife fighting appeared
in the ring" and accompanied
both friendly opponents to Jail
where they are now awaiting the
resolution Of a judicial referee. in
the person of penal court judge.
