Charlie Weinert
Shades Sharkey

Boston. Feb. 10-Charlie Weinert.
Newark heavyweight. won the decision
tonight in his 10-round bout with Jack
Sharkey of Boston. Weinert weighed
1s4 pounds and Sharkey 1881. The
fight was close until the beginning of
the eighth round.
The fight was fast and clean
throughout. Neither man scored a
knockdown. Sharkey, who has lost one
previous decision to the Newark boy,
stood up to his man and blocked his
rushes many times. relying chiefly on
a right hook. Weinert's longer reach
and superior height was too much
for him. Neither man was badly
marked up and each was in fair con-
dition at the end of the final round.
Stanley Meyers, Buffalo middle
weight, was unable to come out for
the fourth round in his scheduled
eight-round semi-fnal with Pat Nc
Carthy of RoXbury. Meyers took the
count of nine in the third round, but
managed to weather the storm of
blows rained upon him until the bell
was sounded.
Red Gritiien of Chelsea, making his
first professional appearance, won the
decision in h;S eight-round go with
Young SIENNA of New Bedford.
Jack Williams of Chicago won the
decision from Walter Lee of Denver in
the eight-round curtain raiser.

Juniper Tree 5000. Years Old

What is believed to be the oldest
juniper tree in the world is now be-
ing protected by the forest service.
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. according to word received
from the Cache National Forest in
northern Utah.
A careful examination of the tree
by scientists from the Utah agricul-
turc college and by Forest Supervis-
or Carl B. ArentSon shows the age of
the tree to be not less than 5000
years. thus placing this tree on par
with some of the big redwood trees
in California which have SO often
been spoken Of as the oldest living
things on earth.
In determining the age of the tree
many interesting factors were dis
closed. The diameter. breast height.
is seven feet six inches. and the
rheight is fOrtytwo feet. Only a few
hundred years ago the tree was
growing as rapidly as at any time
during its life. A section Of the
heartwood shows that 200 years were
required for the first two inches Of
growth, thus indicating that the
trees struggle for existence was
made under adverse conditions.
Later the tree was growing at the
rate of two inches every sixty years.
a remarkable fact considering it's To-
cation and age.
The location of this aged juniper
Is near the main Logan Canyon
highway. and will be seen by thou
sands of tourists each year. The
forest service has erected a sign near
the tree giving the interesting facts
about the age-old veteran and warn
ing against its DETACHMENT or moles

Possibility Venus Of Milo Never Had

1t may be some consolation to art
lovers throughout tn, world, who
have wondered in what position were
the missing arms Of the famous
Venus de Milo statue IN the Louvre.
to learn that even the ancients them
selves were perplexed on this point,
according to a letter to the Spring
field (Mass.) Republican.
Doctor EDDIE, a French physician
has just made known that during a
recent visit to Egypt he came into
possession of small bronze statu-
cite of the same period as the Venus
de Milo. This statuette Is an exact
copy of the famous Venus, and like
the original it has no arms. Doctor
EDDIE therefore concludes that the
Venus de Milo never at any time had
arms, and he believes that the sculp.
tor, when he had carved out of stone
such a divine form, gave up all idea
adding aims.
When the Venus de Milo was dis
covered on the island Of Milo a large
reward was offered to anyone who
could find the arms. but in spite of
extensive search, nothing was dis
covered.

The tortoise. in the nowery en-
pire of Japan. is regarded as a SYM
boil of youth and is venerated. Wed
ding garments have tortoises paint
ed on them, as also have New
Years gifts. A legend heard in
China states that the tortoise is
supposed to have borne upon it's
shell the basis of moral teachings
and the secrets of the unseen. 1t is
more revered in China than among
practical Japanese. When fishermen
around any Of the seaports haul a
large one in with their catch, they
find Chinese merchant to buy it.
The Cinnamon then carves his
name on the shell. that the ANNA
may know to whom it owes it's life,
and taking it out into deep water al
lows it to go free. thus insuring a
prosperous long life for himself.

The Cup of Paris

Paris. the great gay city. is con-
tanned within a cup, says a writer in
the Continental edition of the Lon
don Daily Mail You may discover
it one day perhaps from a pleasant
roof garden and be suddenly sur
prised to find the city so definitely
contained. Wherever you will look
there at last appear the soft green
hills peeping so serenely down upon
the weller of life in the city below
You may even see the trees on the
hills. so near are they.
We used to think the city was SO
big and spread SO far, and the Place
de la Concorde. what a mighty
space 1t was! There even now we
see the dome of Pantheon, the
towers of Notre Dame, the sudden
smoky shoot of the Eiffel tower
Gigantic things we used to think
them. But now how easily they are
held in the cup of the laughing hills!

Morse Gave Name to Ship

The word smack" in fishing
smack is of Morse origin. The Danes
and Norwegians called their vessels
"shekka' or shake. These were long
lean Galleys, and the resemblance
was further suggested by the drag
on's or snakes head which often
formed their figure head. Later on
in history. when the Dutch became
the great seafaring people. the word
passed into their language. slightly
altered Ito suit their tongue) to
''smak." The Dutch boat was of
different build. being fat and broad
beamed. We in turn took the word
from the Dutch. and turned it into
our own smack. using it at first for
the small sailing cutter which used
to act as sort of passenger tender
70" sea going ships. Now. when
steam is almost universal. we con-
fine the word almost entirely to the
fair sized open sea fishing boat
which works by sail.
