Stran5ler Retains Much Con-.
 tested Diamond Studded Belt

Boston, April 16 tR)--Ed strangler Lewis of Chicago has demonstrated the efficacy of his famous headlock once more.
 It brought him victory here last night over Wayne (Big) Mum of Kansas City whom he defeated in two straight falls.
 In addition to beating the former Nebraska University football star, Lewis retained the much contested diamond belt. The former champion had promised to forfeit it if Wayne won.
 Mum was the favorite. with a crowd that damned the arena, and lit cheered wildly when on several occasions, it seemed as If he might gain the advantage. But Mum proved no equal in finesse to the vet eran Lewis, who evaded his crotch hold by backing through the ropes.
 The first fall, which Lewis ob- tained after 59 minutes of wrestling, came when the referee ordered Mum to break a hold. The Nebras- kan stepped back to remonstrate and instantly Lewis had clamped on his hcadlock and tossed his man heav- fly, The crowd booed the decision.
 The second fall, however, was a clean cut win for the Strangler who did most of the work and several times had Mum In difficulty before he finally threw him. It took only II minutes and 40 seconds.
 Lewis lost to Mum about a year ago but claimed foul and succeed taining the belt or claiming the title.

 It Is Delaney's first bout in the Nutmeg State since he fairly catapu- lated to the heights and there has been an insistence for a Delaney bout in this section of the east for many months-a demand that Pro- moter Mulligan has answered by booking the capable and popular Bridgeport light heavyweight for the star bout of his next armory show
 Delanoy's career has been one of the most spectacular in ring history. Knocked out twice within few weeks, Jack was generally consigned to the fighters scrap heap, but he emulated the well-known Phoenix and rose from the ashes of defeat 10 shoot rapidly to the pinnacle he now occupies as the outstanding figure among the active fighters of the moment.

Eel Only Fish Which
Seeks Prey in Packs

Among fishermen the pike is called
THE tiger of the stream" because Of
its daring and ferocity apd in the
havoc it plays among the lesser deni-
zens of the underwater world.
But, as in the jungle, the wolf pack
is responsible for more killings than
is the solitary tiger, so the depreda-
tions of the wolves of the stream, the
cells, are ten times greater, although
perhaps less visible than the spectac-
ular dashes of the pike, says the Lon
don Mail.
Eels are practically omnivorous and
will eat anythlng-1sh flesh, fowl or
insect. Nothing from a dainty spin
ner to a dead dog or cat comes arniss
to these ravagers Of the stream.
They wage relentless war on all other
species of fish, devouring their spawn
and hunting the small fry from their
hiding places under stones and weeds
Eels are the only species of fish
which actually hunt their prey in com
pany. The pike, perch and trout are
all predaclous, but in hunting they
work singly. But cells, like wolves,
although hunting individually where
the smaller prey is concerned, do not
hesitate to band together and attack
victims for which they would be NO
match in single combat.

Hebrews Among Early

Father Lejeune of KamlOops, a pi-

and probably the foremost linguist of
native Indian dialects, has reported
to the government Of Canada that
words o. Hebrew origin are found In
most languages Of the province. He
writes, says Pierre Van Paassen, in
the Atlanta Constitution, that among
the Tehlmpsheans there were such
customs as the burnt Offering Of food
and fasting from sunset to sunset In
times Of stress. The priest has come
to the conclusion that Hebrews lived
In America as early as between the
years 100 and 1900 A. d. He ad
ylses that an exhaustive study should
be made before old men and women
of Indian tribes who are today in a
position to recount the customs and
beliefs of the aboriginal peoples of
British Columbia have passed away"

essary to hang the paintings out of

were given their costumes, jewels, and
"A certain sum Of money from the pub

One year an economic administra-
ton reduced the number Of Marys, as
the brides were called, to three and
saved the cost of nine costumes and
nine marriage portions. The next

further, dispensed with the three girls,
and substituted IL dolls. These wood

Long Sleep for Long Life

How much sleep should a business
man have if he wishes to keep fit and
live to good old age?
The question Is answered by DIR.

eight to ten hours is necessary.
He points out that although we
crowd into our days three times as
much as our grandparents did, we take
only the same amount of rest and
sleep.
The strain of modern life is con
siderable, says Doctor Nanklyell, and
a man who has had strenuous day
should resi- and sleep his eight To ten
hours if he wishes to keep his youth
