FRANCE HONORS U. s. SAILORS

Brest Fifteen Italian sculp- tors, under the direction of Benito Quattrocchi, an American citizen of Italian extraction, are putting the finishing touches on the Amer ican Naval Memorial, which is due to be completed here in February.
 So far, no date for its dedica- ton has been chosen, but it has been suggested that February 22 would be appropriate.
 This memorial, at Cours d'Ajot, Brest, Is a tribute in granite to the gallant deeds and services of United States seamen during the World War. The tower, which will be 164 feet high, has attained a height of 113 feet. It will be sur mounted by four giant eagles. On the sides will be allegorical sculp- ture. Over 5000 cubic feet of Bre- ton granite will be required for it, and the cost is estimated at $125.- 900. The work is being done un- der the supervision of the Ameri- can Battle Monuments Commission.
 At the dedication ceremonies, the program for which will be drawn up shortly, General John J. Pershing and Ambassador Walter L. Edge will be invited to repre- sent the United States government. Part of Americas war fleet, cruis- ing in European waters, will an- chor in the harbor.
 Paris Post of the American Le- zion will be asked to send a dele gation, including the color guard.

EXPERT GIVES
 SLANG OKEH


 Columbus, Ohio-Language, like ideas, morals and all progress, comes out of the welter of life, Professor George M. Boiling, head of Ohio State university's Greek department, believed.
 It does not come from gram mars and dictionaries, but from the living people. For language must live, too, Dr. Boiling said.
 The professor, one of six dele gates to the International Lingu- istic congress at Geneva during the summer. approves slang. He ap- proves so-called swear words also insofar as he believes they eventu- ally becomes the ordinary express sions of speech.
 Taboo words, Dr. Boiling assert ed, gather their unpleasant con- notation5 from custom and habits of mind. In Germany, for example, you are a camel' is considered an exciting and drastic indictment of ones fellow man.
 But in Germany, he wen on, the people are not able to grasp why Americans get excited when some- one tells them they are descended from a female dog.

MEXICANS SPURN
 THEIR CAPONES

Detroit.-Scarface Al Capone. or any other "big time" American gangster. would not last five min- utes in Mexico City, Senor Teodoro Gonzalez. head of the Mexican capital city's criminology depart ment, observed on a visit here.
 Gonzalez, who was graduated from an American college and lived in New York for 13 years, said the average Mexican underworld char acter Is too suspicious to follow a gang leader. The Mexican thinks of himself, and would not stick to a gang, he asserted.
 Gonzalez came here with his chief. Col. Jesus Vargas, to return Joy Palmer Harper, a counterfeit CT. The Mexican characterized Pal mer as a master with fake money.
 Mexico City is armed to combat criminals. according to Gonzalez. Every Mexican has a gun and knows how to use 1t, he said.

EDISON WROTE
 SCHOOL ADVICE

St Louis, (UP)--Among the many bits of advice to youth, giv- en by. Thomas A. Edison, the fol- lowing. given 23 years ago at the request of high school principal, was made known on the great in- ventor's death:
 Every man has a brain and something else called will. In the brain there is a peculiar con- volution discovered by Broca, called by the convolution of Broca.
 The will can force the convo- lution. to store up knowledge and experience, but 1t is obstinate and it requires great will power to make 1t record.
 "The men who manage the in dustries of the U. s. have by their strong wills forced this lazy com yolution full of information which hey use in their business.
 '"The boy that keeps that con- yolution working overtime is going 10 be just what he wants to be-"
 r. D. Andrews, high school principal, said he received the Iboye from Edison in response 10 | requesA for a letter that could be used on a lantern slide as con- ciusion to a lecture on Edison's life and work.

VETERAN IS RUSHED
 TO HOSUITAL IN PLANE

Galesburg, IlI.-When a World war veteran was critically injured here recently the American Legion lost no time in getting him to the Veterans Bureau hospital at Hines for treatment. The veteran. Al Goodbar, of Abingdon, suffered a hip fracture in a fall which could not be set due to the brittleness of the bone. Guy Bonney, chairman of the Knox county rehabilitation committee of the Legion, ordered an airplane and telegraphed the hospital that he was bringing an emergency case by plane. Members of the hospital staff met the plane at the Hines airport and took the patient to the hospital in an ann bulance.

HOOKCs AND SLIDES After ROcIknc?

What will the football fates bring to Notre Dame now that Rockne is gone? When that question is an- swered, will it not be Q pretty good gauge of the "Old Mans" greatness?
 There were skeptics who used to ascribe Rockne's success in Q meas ure to the fact that Notre Dame was "a football school" and that Rock ne annually had nearly 400 men from which to pick his first, second end third string elevens.
 It is true that Notre Dame for years and years has been a football school, by which I mean that foot ball was the chief game and nearly every man who went to Notre Dame aspired to play 1t. But is seems also true that it was football school since the war because Rockne was coach. Hundreds of young men throughout America who liked foot

After Him. The Delugc?

After Him. The Delugc?
 What is going to happen now at Notre Dame? Certainly. the man succeeding the old Bald Eagle will find himself in a rather tough spot. The shadow of Rockne remains on the campus.
 Those of the football squad re- nlaining from last year will re- member how Rockne did it" or what Rockne said' about this sort of play or that. Should Rockne's successor make mistake, his com mands may be received with some skepticism by the Sholdovers, whose influence will be felt among the men coming up from the freshmen ranks.
 Gradually. of course, this difficult handicap for Rockne's successor will be overcome, as his ways with "the men" are forgotten. In few years more Roclsne will become a glorious tradition. Even then, however, the coach at Notre Dame will have to carry a lot of magnetism. courage and determination to win the respect of young men who can look back to the framed record of Rockne's tri- umphs.

Clinical Notes of Baseball
 Tra vpIpr
J William Braucher

A great deal is going to depend, during the coming American and National league flag races, upon young men who are not at this time in what boxing scribes are fond of calling "the pink" of condition. Heavy burdens of responsibility are ot be placed upon some sore shoul- ders and legs and impaired bodies.
 One of these burdens is to be loaded upon Tommy Thomas, the White Sox pitcher. After having haa trouble with his elbow all of last year, Thomas has developed this year, in the San Antonio camp, a sore shoulder. Sometimes a sore shoulder is serious; less of- ten not. If Thomas is out of it for the first two months of the cam paign, Donie Bush may as well heave his first division aspirations into the ashcan

Malone Nfarks Timc

Pat Malone was accursed with similar trouble at the camp of the Cubs. Normally, Malone is crazy to be in there pitching, but this year he has told Hornsby he preferred to rest until he has to start, unless my shoulder gets well overnight" With out Malone's effectiveness, the Cubs pennant chances would be just fair. And Hornsby? Will the legs hold out for the strenuous campaign the Rajah has outlined for them?
 Much of the Pirates prowess de- bends upon Paul Waner's recovery from his leg infection. Some more depends upon Pie Traynor's back.
 Harry Heilmann has reported seri- ous arthritis. and this may prove a blow to whatever hopes Dan Howley may have had this year. Last year Heilmann was the main excuse for a fan going to see ball game in Cin- cinnati. anyway.
 Joe Genewich has been trying to come back. Should he regain his great form of few seasons ago, the Giants might win a pennant, figuring the other pitchers at their form of last year, But once an arm slips. 1t is hard to bring back. Joe Shaute, the former Indian finger, is trying to keep his sore souper in place for the Robins drive, and if Joe does come back, you may add that to your list of miracles.

If there is anything wrong with him, Mark can begin all over again. Again, will those bad ankles of Al Simmons get the better of him this year?
 will Joe Sewell go we'll for the Yankees without those tonsils? He says himself that he will. and that it was illness caused by infected tonsils that slowed him up at Cleve- land last year. With Joe in form the Yankees have a decided asset. Then there's Pipgras: after his ap- pendicitis operation, he developed intestinal influenza, and there's no telling when he will be back in shape. Without Pipgras. the Yam kees look bad.

PIRATE OUTFIELDER MAKES
 DOUBLE PLAY UNASSISTED

CHICAGO, June l7.-Outfielder don't often make double plays un- assisted, but Adam Comorosky has one to his credit.
 It happened in a Cubs-Pirates game here. There was one out and Kiki Cuyler of the Cubs was on second. Comorosky, in left field for the Pirates, came in fast to catch a low line fly hit by Woody English.
 Cuyler apparently thought it was a sure hit or that there were two out, so he started for home. Como rosky carried the ball in, touched second, and made the double kill ing.
