A SPORTS WINDOW.
OUR WOMEN HOMELY?
RUBBER!
TOO BIG FOR THEM.
BY Arthur Brisbane

1t was decided to put "Sports
Bay" beautiful window of col
ored glass, in the $25,0OO,OOO Pro-
;testant Episcopal Cathedral of st.
John the Divine, in New York.
AS originally planned. the
Sports Window" for the Cathe-
!dral included a picture # live
birds released from a trap and
shot dead for the amusement of
"sport."
If, however, a modern Christian
cathedral really needs sports
window, why not have a nice
stained glass picture of Jack
tDempsey knocking out Mr.. Wills,
the colored man. That, at least,
lis legal in New York State.
A Thibetan lady named Rim
Chan Lha-Mo says, western
women are not good-looking."
Meaning Americans, English,
French, etc.
The lady says our women's
moses and ears are too big; noses
like Kettle spouts, ears like pigs
ears, eyes silly blue like chill
dren's marbles, eye sockets too
deep, eyebrows too much like
those of monkeys.
This criticism of our lovely
females will amaze you, especially
If you have ever seen a Thibetan
lady with nose flat, eyes on the
outside of her face, etc.

New Orleans is about to inaug-

Secretary Work talked plainly
and usefully in Los Angeles, telling
the big power men, who think they
should control the Colorado water
and power, that some jobs are too
big for them. Mir. Work is not
hostile to big business of the
right kind. He knows it has built
this country, our Government con-
filming itself largely to politics ana
to running for office.
But the Secretary cf the Interior
makes it plain that some of Ameri-
cas- undertakings are too big for
anyone but Uncle Sam. The great
Boulder Dam project is che of
them. The Panama Canal. was
another. Even the French, mas
ters of engineering, could not
manage that.
MIR. Work suggested that those
interested in Colorado waters, fer
irrigation or power, should make
their bids, at definite price.
The idea is to have facts to put
before Congress, proving that the
scheme will pay. Such facts may
be necessary to convince some UNI
willing or dull Congressman, but
they ought not to be necessary. In
the case of great gold mine, Con-
gress would ask only for proof
that the gold was there, then the
digging would begin.
The Colorado water offers
sure mine of power, fertility and
wealth, greater in value than eli

About fOME
Health
Things You Should Know
Medical Terminolory,


Perhaps many of our readers are
attracted by the various health ar
ticles appearing in the newspapers;
these, when written by capable tall
ent are valuable to the public as
educational features. Medical terms
are sometimes difficult for the pub
lie to interpret for personal use. In
this sketch, it is my purpose to
make some of these words easier
understood.
We find "itis" at the end of
many names of diseases; this little
terminal means inflammation" For
instance, appendicitis literally
means Inflammation of the append
tx; bronchitis is inflammation Of
the bronchial tubes; laryngitis is
croup-inf1ammation of the larynx.
Peritonitis is inflammation of the,
peritoneum-the membrane lining
The. abdomen; pericarditis is inflam-.
nation of the sac which encloses
the heart; "peri" means around:
"cartli" the heart; "itis" is infam-.
nation. And on through the "itis"
Words
"Algia" signifies pain. Gastral-
gia is pain in the stomach; neural
gia is pain in nerve; cardalgia,
is pain in the heart; enteralgia
means pain in the intestines; cd
ontalgia means toothache. None
of the "algias" are diagnostic.
Gastritis, neuritis, etc, are more
accurately descriptive.
"Phobia" literally means dread.
Photophobia is simply dread of
light, as in infamed eye structures.
Hydrophobia is dread of water. 1t
has been said that the dog with,
rabies falls in spasm, the moment
he sees on comes in contact with,
water. Our wise old ancestors
therefore declared that the disease,
is hydrophobia. The term has no
accuracy as indicating the true con-
dition.
"Rhoea" means a flow. Hence
"diarrhoea" means "a flow

hazard which could be remedied in
the interest Of fire prevention, it
is their duty to have the same re-
medied at once.
''The fire alarm sounds for the
purpose Of test at 500 A. NJ,
1900 A. NJ, and 5 100 P. M,
giving three short blasts. While
this test indicates to the firemen
that their system is in proper
working order, it would serve a
double purpose if the public
would take it as notice to them
to be careful as to fire hazards re-
porting any dangerous conditions
to the City Marshal, or to the
Fire Department and to be a re-
minder to you that you can be of
great service to the Fire Depart
ment in the fighting of fire, and
that it is your duty so to do by
cooperating in every way possible,
and specially at the sound of the
fire alarm to see that all automo-
biles or other vehicles pull to the
curb and let the fire trucks pass.
Under the present conditions
many automobiles rush to the fire
at the sound of the alarm, run
ming before the fire trucks which
in the first place is against the
law, and in the second place, it is
very dangerous, both for the
firemen and traffic.
Numbers of automobiles or
trucks rushing to a fire will be
reported to the authorities and
fines imposed.

Marriage in Tibet 10 not the least
interesting Of the customs Of that re-
markable country, writes an exploring
globe-trotter in q British paper, re-
ported by the Atlanta Constitution.
As rule 1t takes place only in fam
lilies possessed Of wealth and social
position. According to the laws Of
Tibet, the eldest brother has the first
right to marry, since he alone inherits
the ancestral property. But If there
are brothers the bride is shared by
them as by so many junior husbands.
On the day Of the wedding the bride
is barricaded in her home. Long ar
guments, in which the whole village
takes part, over the profitableness
Of the marriage are INDUCED in
through hole in the door. Finally a
scarf is waved, as sign of surrender
and the gates are opened. The bride
groom's mother then hands out sour
milk and cakes to the guests and the
ceremonies begin. The Tibetan woman
is very much the head Of the house

ings to her. When they need money
they must ask for it. A husband who
is idle too long is liable to be repri-
manded or even divorced and driven

Time to Demonstrate
Claim to Efficiency

A sarcastic old Irishman, the pres
ident of a small but well-known in
dustrial company, was anxious to
show production figures and he sent
word for a brand-new efficiency ex-
pert who had succeeded in talking him
into the ways of ultra modern bust
ness administration. The expert had
succeeded in worming his way into q
vice presidency as "vice president in
charge of personnel" A messenger
came from the expert:
''Mr. Jones says he is tied up and
cannot get away"
The president drew a breath Of sat
isfaction that the new executive had
begun SO industriously. He talked
20 minutes and again sent for the ex.
pert.
'Mr. Jones says he is tied up but
is trying to get away"
The president didn't like this, but
waited Is minutes before trying again
The same answer came back, so he
penned this note:
"Houdini gets out Of straight
jacket and handouts under water in
40 seconds. I don't expect this from
you but would appreciate your getting
united very soon or not claiming
you're such tremendously efficient
guy!"

Ears on the Increase

Are your ears larger than your
grandfather's? This is problem to
which you have probably never given
any thought; but, If you compare your
own photograph with some Of those
in the family album, you will prob
ably find that your ears are larger
than those Of the last generation.
A prominent ear specialist has
proved by measurement that the ten
dency Of the human ear is to grow
even larger. The reason, he suggests,
is the increased number and volume
of sounds, which is feature of mod
ern life, especially in cities, and the
more complicated demands which are
thus made upon our hearing.

De Hart Hubbard

If there's was any doubt that De
Hart Hubbard, crack athlete of the
Century Athletic Club and prize
scholar and athlete of the Cincinnati
Enquirer (white) is the idol of Gin
cinnati, it was dispelled last Satur-
day night when the great Negro
Splinter and jumper, in winning the
100-yard dash, equaled the worlds
record of nine and siX-tenths seconds.
Shortly thereafter Hubbard amazed
the spectators by jumping Is feet,
8 * inches in the running broad
jump event, scoring in all 10 points
for the G. A. A. And just to show
that American sportsdom is trying
to be fair in lauding the muscular
frames of Negro athletic performers,
no less notable critic than Big bill"
Powers (white) one of the greatest
athletic critics of all times, said of
Hubbard, after the meet:
Travelling along in an easy, glid-
ing manner, as if he was being waited
by gentle breeze, the famous Negro
star caused spectators at the annual
track and field meet conducted by the
Cincinnati Gym and Athletic Club, at
it's grounds in the East End, to gasp,
as he led Tom Sharkey (white) noted
Miami University track star, to the
tape in the century days by six feet,
and equaled the worlds dash record
of 8 6-1O seconds"

Evarts Scored on Depesp

I Sir Theodore A. Cook in his book,
THE Sunlit Hours" tells this story
concerning the two American wits,
Chauncey Depew and William Evarts :
"At large dinner Uhauncey Depew
was once very much annoyed to find
that he was expected to make his ora
ton before Evarts instead Of speaking
later on. So he went and sat down at
the end of the room with the idea of
chatting his rival when the opportu-
nifty should serve. Evarts, whose elo-
quence was as easy as his wit, began
his speech with bird's-eye view of
American history from Noah to Mar
ragansett pier, without a single semi
colon. Depew sprang up, at the first
pause, and cried out: Mr.. Chairman,
I ask whether we are supposed to sit
here and listen to such sentences all
night 4 am sorry replied Evarts,
instantly, that my friend, Chauncey
Depew, has now joined the criminal
classes in deploring long sentences "
