 When the announcement was made that Mir. Kipling was i'll, it was said his condition was not seri- ous. His friends, however. were somewhat alarmed, knowing well his disinclination to be In the pub lie eye and his love for almost her init privacy.
 It was Sunday evening that Mir. Kipling first complained of pains in the chest, but 1t was not until Mon- day that a physician was called to the bedside. The local practitioner, Dr. Curties. found that the disease had developed to a point where he thought 1t wise to summon Lord

England Perfecting Control
 of Airplanes by Wireless
tBy Associated Press)

LONDON, Mar. 12.-Certain resi- dents of the south coast of England were much astonished recently when an air force flying machine fell into the ocean and the authorities show ed no undue anxiety about the fate of the pilot who, it was assumed, was aboard After while the air force men calmly put out in skiff and towed the fallen plane to shore. The secret then leaked out that the machine had been without a pilot and that the accident was brought about by the plane passing beyond the radius of the wireless control ling force.
 It was then learned for the first time that the planes seen for many weeks past circling in the air over this territory had all been without pilots; the control was by radio from a shore station.

 Hatchet In Odd Ceremony
(By Associated Press)

THE HAGUE, Mar. 12.-Dispatch- es from Borneo, Dutch East Indies, give interesting details of peace cere- mony between the different Dyak tribes of the island. These clans have been constantly fighting each other for years, and have the reputation of being ferocious and bloodthirsty headhunters.
 Some 4,6O0 Dyaks came to the gath ering. There were present also a few Dutch and British officers, who witnessed curious war dances, songs and prayers by medicine men. Finally the head priest killed pig by a slow method and sprinkled it's blood over the multitude, pronouncing a terrible curse upon anyone who should presume to revive the inter- tribal quarrels.

Manager Jamison Swarts, OF the
University OF Pennsylvania, expects
thirty-two colleges to be represented
this year, judging by the responses
he has received to his original in

Leland Stanford, the University
OF California and the University Of
Southern California have sent in
their entry lists. The last named

Pittsburgh has listed four men for

It is hard to understand how
Groves, with his brilliant minor
league record of winning 109 games
and losing but 80 in five years, is
unable to pitch even mediocre ball.
On his lapel button Groves wears
a diamond-studded emblem, a SOU

in 1920 and 81. The Orioles won
twenty. five straight in 1920 and fin
ighed the season as champions by
a half game over Toronto, who
gathered in twenty-four consecutive
wins.
Starting in 1921, the Orioles won
twenty seven straight. equaling the
world record formerly held by Cor
sicana, Of the Western Texas
League. For five straight years
Groves pitched Baltimore to pen.

is the legend it bears. But will
he? That's the question that the
world wants to know more and
more about. The folks back here
are not going to hop on Jack just

a little jaunt that is coming to a

entitled to his opinion, and so Is
Dempsey.
Personally I believe that Demp-

The thing is that, however. There
must be a showdown. There Is a
hint going around that Dempsey
