BOYS
 BOUND OVER TO GRAND JURY

On complaint of three Filipinos Tuesday. Ava Allen, Jimmie Rhodes and David Philips were ar rested on charge Of riot on the streets of Petersburg. On testimony of the FiIipinos at the preliminary hearing, evidence was shown that assault might have been committed but that no intent to commit viola ton of any law was evidenced.
 Following a dance in the Pioneer Hall the boys were returning to their homes when after some words blows were struck. Apologies were made by the Filipino and a general hand-shaking followed.
 When abreast of the home of.the Filipino. the boys allege that Allen was struck with what they believed to be a gun. Allen followed the Filipino into the house whereupo1 one of the Filipinos pulled gun and pointed it at him. He made dash at the Filipino and grabbed his wrist to prevent beng shot. The other boys seeing gun play mme- diately rushed into the house and helped take the gun away and a general melee followed.
 The Filipinos allege that without warrant or provocation their door was broken and house entered and assault committed that no gun was in play until after the house was entered and blows struck, when they pulled the gun in self-defense.
 During the hearing request was made that the charge be dismissed on the ground that there was not sufficiency of evidence to warrant such a charge. Request was refus ed and the hearing proceedings con- tinued. After statement by the Filipinos, Commissioner Clausen stated that he was satisfied that the law had been violated and a riot committed by the three boys, binding them over to the next term of the grand jury. The boys are out under bail of $250 each.-Pe- tersburg Alaskan.

Famous Philanthropist

George Averof was a Greek from
the northern part of Greece, called
'Epirus." He made large fortune IN
Egypt, and on account of his generous
donations to Greece is considered one
Of the foremost benefactors of the
country. 1t is with his money that the
stadium Of Athens was built, for which
Pentelic marble was used, and erected
on exactly the same place where the
ancient stadium had stood. He also
built the so-calIed "Averof1on" in Ath-
ems, a very large refOrmatory for boys
and girls. He willed a large sum Of
money for the purchase of cruiser,
which was built in England after his
death and is still unit of the Greek
navy, bearing the name of George
AverOf.

Proof That Egyptians
Sought Fountain Pen

An early attempt to devise d foun-
tain pen has been disclosed by exca-
vations in an Egyptian tomb dating
back more than 1000 years. The prim-
tive instrument consisted of a sec
ton of reed the diameter of a lead
pencil, about three inches in length
and mounted on long piece of cop
per. The nib Of the pen is cut away
to a fine point like an ordinary quill
pen. The narrow tube of the reed
served to hold in reserve a small
quantity of the writing fluid, what
ever it may have been.
The earliest writing fluid, it is now
thought, was probably applied by
means of a brush in Egypt and In
China. The brush required frequent
dipping into the fluid so that may have
led to the idea Of a pen which would
hold a considerable amount of fluid
even at that early date.

remains unsettled. Attorney General
Clarence a. Switzerland has written
to the Attorney General Of Maryland
asking for information and suggest
ing conference between the officials
of the two States. Mr.. Switzerland
asked if the Legislature of Maryland
had enacted any legislation covering
the points in controversy between the
two States relative to trucking privi-
leges. AS means Of finally reaching

Table Oi[cIofh

The table oilcloth will last longer
if it is not tackled fast to the table.
These oilcloth covers usually wear
out at the corners. BY allowing it to
hang loosely 1t can be moved a trife
each day, and thus the table corners
do not come in the same spot on the
cover all the time-as is the case
when tackled.
Naturally, by this method the cor
ners will not wear out before the rest
Of the Oilcloth. The appearance OF the
cover can be considerably improved
by the addition of cretonne band at
the edge.

Indian Princes Prefer
Their Shoes Suueaky

Bombay. India. Squeaky shoes are
III great demand by ruling Indian
princes and chiefs, who have hit upon
this as a means of impressing their
barefooted subjects. The louder the
shoes squeak the higher the price.
The idea of wearing leather soles
which make their presence known with
every step OF the wearer originated by
chance some time ago in the state Of
Junagadh.
One of the chiefs of the Chuasama
tribe had purchased a new pair Of
shoes, and they creaked everlastingly
as he strutted among the natives at
festival gatherings. His subjects were
more humble than ever. Some of the
rajahs, ruling princes and the chiefs
of numerous principalitles have since
taken to squeaking shoes, which are
worn only upon ceremonial occasions.

Carving the Canyon

The popular idea that earthquakes
and volcanic explosions played a parr
in forming the Grand canyon Of the
Colorado river is thought by the best
authorities to be without foundation.
We are now told that the canyon
was cut out entirely by the water of
the river and that the most effective
tool employed was the quartz sand
brought down from the sources of the
river in the mountains. This sand Is
harder than any Of the constituents Of
the rock strata IN which the canyon
has been carved

Bread From RuIrushes

From the bulrush which, growing in
marshes and other wet ground, flour
ishes in almost all climates, perfectly
good bread can be made In fact long
bulrush stalks are considered a real
delicacy among the races in central
Asia. The percentage of starch is
large and makes excellent flour.
Natives of Iceland, where bulrushes
are not SO plentiful, find a substitute
material for breadmaking in a certain
species of moss, They call it bread
from the stones"
