weight champion and winner over
Eddie Thomas at Portland Tuesday
night. will meet Sammy Santos, dy-
mamie Filipino, in the main event Of
the Austin-B Bishop boxing show at the
Civic Arena next Wednesday night.
This Moroan-Santos match is a

knockout over Wildcat" Carter last
week.
Sammy Can Hit
The Filipino Is a good boxer and
terrific puncher who is liable to
knock out an opponent with either
left hook or right cross.
Since his debut in a Seattle ring
two months ago, Santos has also de-
feated Teddy Fox and Doc Smell and
put Able Davies to sleep in three
rounds.
Tod Going Well

and will probably be slight favorite
over the Filipino puncher. Tod has
won three DoutS In row, de1eallng
Cecil Payne, frankie Stetson and
Eddie Thomas in succession.

met during his brilliant ring career.

CHILDREN's HEALTH MONTH

May time brings to mind visions OF
happy children dancing %flower-be-
decked round and round the May
pole.
Children are In the springtime of
life. Their little plastic bodies will
soon have 10 bear the burdens and
trunt of problems which we shall
leave behind. Through its children is
the race carried onward. To us is
given the privilege of caring for and
protecting them, that they may grow
strong. healthy and capable of wealth
ering the storms of adversely.
Recently strong impetus has been
given to a movement for making May
day a Child Health Day so that par
entS and teachers may realize their
responsibilities toward children and
seek out new ways for making life
more productive and secCre for them.
Every child has certaL rights, such
as a home with loving care, a good
spiritual and moral training, a pro-
lection against labor that stunts ply
steal or mental growth, an unhamper-
ed embodiment of personality. the
care of his health, training to Sc
cure an adequate standard of living.
the care and treatment of any mental
or physical nandicaps, an education to
discover and develop his individual
ability.
One of the best plans in the educa-
ton of children today seems to be to
give them a well rounded education,
at least through the high-school
years, all the while searching to find
the particular or unusual leaning to-
ward certain studies which indicate
the work at which the child will fin
ally become the most successful and
develop into the most useful citizen.
Happiness in life depends so much
upon good health and the proper Sc
lection of a suitable vocation. Par
entS. psychologists, doctors and teach
ers should work together in finding
this happy solution to the training
OF the child. While there are un-
6oubtedly hereditary influences af-
fecting the young child, I am sure
that environment and training are
most to be considered in the normal
development Of a child'S mind and
body.
The child's body can be given per-
feet proportions through scientific
feeding combined with corrective ex-
ercises to shape the muscles. The
mental forces can likewise be de-
velopcd. Even when serious physi-
cal or mental h~andicaps exist at birth,
these can largely be overcome through
the right care and training. Chill

and even if they do occur, it is posi-

A Kingdom Without a King
lChicaQo DAILY Trihunel


Count Bethlen took the occasion Of his tenth anniver-
sary as premier of Hungary to discuss the curious fact
that his country is a kingdom without a king. The heir
to the throne is Prince Otto. a Hapsburg who was not
OF age when the present government came into being
put meanwhile has reached his majority. Nevertheless
he has not been invited to reign, and Count Bethlen
though he insisted that the Hungarian people is con-
firmed in It's adherence to the monarchtcal principle
gave no intimation that Prince Otto or any one else
Is soon to be summoned to the throne.
OF course it is not impossible that the monarchy will
be restored in Hungary, but il Is difficult to believe
that, II 1t is, the kingdom will long endure as such. The
forces Of history are moving in the opposite direction
Spain offers only the latest Of a long series of repub-
lcan victories. The concept OF superiority in the reign
ing family and its fringe Of nobility Is absurd to the
modern man and becomes increasingly so every day.
The concept OF fealty to an individual personifying the
state is childish In the extreme, and it cannot endure
in the face OF the proved incompetence Of the occupants
of thrones.
Even the Turks have abandoned the monarchical no
ton. 1t is scarcely credible, then, that the Hungarians,
with centuries of struggle for human freedom in their
history. will long submit themselves to it.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Press
Charles Ernest Pellew was an American citizen and
a chemistry professor at Columbia university, q highly
educated and useful New Yorker. He had come over
from England at the age Of eight with his father. and
acquired citizenship with the latter's naturalization.
Today Prof. Pellew is again. after so years, q British
citizen by virtue of recent action of the London courts,
and Is entering the House Of Lords with the title Wis
count Exmouth.
He is a vscount and lord because his great-grand-
father, Admiral Edward Pellew, sailed into the harbor Of
Algiers, like our own Decatur, burned the entire battery,
arsenal and fleet of the p~estiferous Bey, liberated three
thousand prisoners, enforced an anti-slavery treaty and
forced the Bey to apologize. He earned his titles-and
his deeds have come down the years to reach into an
American college classroom and make q British lord.
Yet Charles Ernest Pellew now reveals that he would
never have left America If his aged father had not beg
gd him on his deathbed to live in England. That Is
entirely beievable.
Charles e. Pelew had made a name for himself in
America and was happy. He had earned his own merits
and titles in his own field and was respected for his
books and his achievements. To exchange these honors
for q great-grandfathers. in an entirely different field.
Is nothing like the soft trade our Fountleroy fiction
makes 1t out to be.
To be in Americas self-made who's Who" as Pelew
was, is today q greater honor than to be in Britain,s
hereditary who's Who" rs Lord Exmouth is. The
values of the world have 80 changed in 1881 that We
may credit DR.. Pellew with entire sincerity in saying
that it was q sacrifice.

TO-DAY IS THEA
ANNIVERSARY
III KA
FIGHTING AT ARRAS

On May 2, 1917. the British and
Scottish troops made impressive gains
in the Battle or ArraS after a week
of hard fighting.
Two hundred prisoners were taken
in the first forward sweep, when the
Scots advanced in long lines and
went through and beyond the village
of Guemappe with loud shouts and
cheers.
Philip Gibbs, war correspondent,
wrote:
For nearly three hours the Scots
were held up by the fire of German
machine guns and artillery. and suf-
fered many casualties. but they
fought on. each little group Of men
acting with separate initiative, and
it IS to their great honor as soldiers
that they destroyed every machine
gun post in front of them.
"Then between II and IL in the
morning the enemy developed his
first counter attack. He massed
great numbers of men in the valley
below Guemappe, flung a great storm
Of shell on to the village and then
sent forward his troops to work
around it. It was then that these
Scottish troops showed their fierce
and stubborn fighting spirit"

Opportunity for a Poet

William Wadsworh Longfellow is best remembered.
perhaps. for his poem "Evangelne' in which he recounted
the tragedy of the Acadians, a French people who were
transplanted by the British and cruel fate from their
peninsula in the North Atlantic to Louisiana.
Nearly everyone will remember how he listened, as a
s%choolboy, to the brightest scholar in the class reciting
that doleful tale with due emphasis upon the whisper
ing pines and the hemlocks." The cadence, as well as the
words, contributed to the aura Of tragedy.
What an opportunity there is for q modern poet in the
plight which the women and children of Hurley, Wis
consin, have encountered. Judging from the news reports,
their husbands and fathers, almost to a man, have been
hauled off to answer to charges Of violating the prohi-
bition law. The innocents stood on the main street Of
Hurley Tuesday and waved goodbye as the menfolk left
town, escorted by federal marshals.
Several angles OF the case, of course. mark it as differ
ent from the tale which made L~ongfellow famous. In
the first place, Hurley isn't a peninsula. On the contrary
it seems to have been somewhat Of a lake with lusty
home-brew liquor substituting for the briny deep. In
the second place. the tragedy doesn't seem to be perma-
nent. since the same thing happened a month ago and
the Hurley bootleggers were promptly reunited with their
families. and just as promptly resumed their business
which seems to be that of giving their little city the
rather intriguing title of BAD Boy of the Wisconsin
lumber camps.
The material is not quite the same as that with which
Longfellow worked, OF course. That would be too much
to expect under modern conditions. Neither would the
story offer the same opportunity for imagination on the
part of an illustrator, for the bulk Of bootleggers' women
folk dress we'll and wear diamonds, scorning the humble
and picturesque garments and headgear OF their Aca-
dian sisters.
Nevertheless, we cannot escape the conviction that
there is opportunity there for an epic poet to write a
true saga of twentieth century America.
