Passing Of Maj. Gen. St. John Greble

Maj. Gen. Edwin st. John Greble, u. S. Army, re-
tired, died at his home at West Orange, n. j., Sept. 80.
His burial followed with full military honors in Airing
ton cemetery. His father was the first officer to be kill
ed in the war between the states. Gen. Greble was a
West Pointer. He served in Cuba in the war with Spain,
In the Villa expedition in Mexico, and in the World war
organization in the training of National Guard forces.
He was well known in Texas. He went to France in the
winter of 1917, returning at the end of that year to or
ganize and train the Seth division. Fort Worth was his
headquarters. When this unit was prepared to go to
France, the higher ups ruled that Gen. Greble was not
physically fit to serve on the battle line.
Gen. Greble wa broken hearted. It must be true
that war is hell

Use of Vaccination

The warning that large parts of the United States
are in danger of epidemics of smallpox-a warning re-
Gently given the American Public Health Association by a
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company expert-comes as
a surprise to a nation which had supposed smallpox a
disease that had been conquered.
The trouble, it seems, is that in many neighborhoods
there is still a strong public sentiment against vaccination.
1t is precisely in these neighborhoods that smallpox is
most prevalent. 1t is oteworthy that the most thickly-
populated eastern states had the fewest cases of the
disease.
Vaccination offers a sure method of fighting small
pox. Any community that makes an intelligent and de-
termined use of this method has little to fear. But any
community that refuses TO use it is flirting with danger.

PETROLLE, TUT ON
 CARPET TUESDAY

New York. March 2 - (UP) - Everyone connected with the recent Billy Petrolle-King Tut bout, from the principals and Matchmaker Tom
 McArdle to the lowliest of towel
 swingers and water boys, has been
 summoned to report at the New York
 Athletic Commissions investigation Tuesday.
 Although 1t appears that Chicago and Minneapolis gamblers made a huge betting coupe in connection with the fighe, Commissioners Will liam Muldoon and John Phelan
 agree with writers who declare they could see nothing wrong with the ring performance of the fighters
 and a general "whitewash" is ex- pected.
 Sshhh!' The commission has instructed the fighters. officials and managers to remain silent until the official hearing and discussions as to the
 honesty of Petrolle's four round
 knockout are limited to writers and spectators.
 Fight writers are divided in tbeir opinions, but there is an entire lack of the indignation which followed suspicious bouts in the past.

One of the first rules of fishing, as exemplified by Jack Dempsey, the publicity-shy former champion, during a recent visit at Galveston, Texas, is to buy yourself a double- breasted suit.
 Get yourself couple of water melons for bait. Fish, with the ex- ception of muskellunge, love water melons. Muskellunge, of course, go for muskmelons.
 Be sure to have your shoes from 10 to IF pounds (nOt count ing the butchers hand) may be said to d0te on being caught by men whose shoes are well pol ishcd. Fish are funny like that.
 Wait until the tide goes out. Then stand on the rocks and if you can find a little pool of water some- where among the rocks, drop left hook into the briny deep. being sure it has been baited first with q large slice of luscious watermelon.

 The tennis association has an- nounced its opposition to players re- ceiving unlimited free board and lodging in exchange for participa- ton in journeys under its jurisdic- tion and has instructed the amateur rule committee to investigate the payment of living and travelling ex- penses to tournament competitors.
 The amateur rule committee is headed by former President Jones w. Mersereau, whose appointment to succeed Holcombe Ward was an- nounced yesterday. It has been in- structed to report to the executive board It's recommendations as to whether expense payments should be more definitely controlled and how such expenses may be limieed to a reasonable extent"
