Ancient Prize Fighters
Had to Battle to Death

In ancient Rome the gladiators who
corresponded to our pugilists were paid
noching. They were usually war cap
uves whom no one would ransom and
whom the possessor had no other con-
venient means of a disposing Of. He
fed them, put them through a course
OF training, and then armed them and
sent them into the arena. They had
to fight, willing or not; and, moreover.
had to fight hard, for only death ended
match, and unless a man killed his
opponent he would be killed by him.
1t was understood also, comments n
writer in the Detroit News. that II
fighter showed cowardice his owner
would extinguish him by slow torture.
These regulations lent to the COM
bat an element of sincerity which
modern ones sometimes lack. It was
very seldom that a gladiator did
rubber leg act. took dive, or grinned
at the audience until he had the point
Of his sword on his PROSTATE antag.
onist's throat.
Frequently a whole troop of gladia-
tors would be engaged at once. julius
Caesar, who had uncommonly large
supplies of captives. once put on a
show involving 320 pairs.
All this was without any recon-
pense to the fighters, except that II
they won In the first contest they
could live until they lost In the next.
And the promoter. who staged the
shows at his own expense to enter
tain the populace. got no financial
profit either, except that when his cap.
tives had killed each other he no longer
had to feed them.

Stradivarius Regarded
Greatest Violin Maker

That there has been no greater vio-
lin maker than Stradivarius, the well
Informed readily admit, says a writer
in the Baltimore Sun. Starting as an
apprentice to Amati, he began to work
for himself in 1865, and gradually de-
velOped and improved on his masters
style, until by about the year 100 he
had attained perfection of workman
ship, model and tone which sets a pat.
tern for all time. He lived to a great
age, was very industrious, and Ia
known to have made more thea q thou
sand instruments (including also some
violas and violoncellos) of which posi-
by half are still In existence.
Nevertheless, 1t Is a mistake to think
OF him as anything unique or miracu-
lous. He was exquisitely skillful with
his tools. but so have been many 9TH
ers. including some alive and busy to-
day. He had an uncanny judgment of
the varying resonance qualities of the
woods he used, but so has every really
great violin maker.
BY trial and error he wrought to-
ward the production of an instrument
which would have a richer and more
powerful tone as well as being a thing
OF beauty TO the eye, changing various
details of his model no less than six
teen times in the course Of his 1k1,
but others have done the same, even
IL In less degree.

Carbohydrates Used by
Body in Form of Sugar

The body utllizes carbohydrates d.
rectly only in the form Of the simplest
OF the sugars, those with six carbon
atoms. Digestion is necessary to con-
vert the higher carbohydrates into the
simple ones. In the cases OF sugars
such as cane or beet. whose molecules
consist of but two of these six carbon
units, this breaking down process Is a
quick and easy one for the digestive
system to handle.
Dextrins and starches, writes DR..
Thomas M. Beck in the Chicago Trib-
une, although fully as nutritious as
sugar, take somewhat longer time to
be digested. Cellulose is entirely too
complex for the human alimentary sys-
tenn to reduce to a form that the body
can assimilate. The mightier diges-
tive organs Of the herbivorous ami
mails, however, are adapted to digest 1t.
1t so happens that sugars are the
only kinds Of human food that require
little or no digestion prior to fulfilling
their metabolic role. AS a result they
are the most convenient source Of
bodily energy from the organism s
standpoint Possibly because Of this
fact, the sweet taste associated with
sugar has cohne to be highly pleasing
one 70 the human palate.

The local padre suggested that the

Virgin Islands Justly
Claim a Thrilling Past

All the Virgin island group can boast
a thrilling past. They were discovered
and named by Columbus on his second
voyage in 1893, states a writer In the
Chicago Daily News. In the passage
between st. Thomas and Puerto Rico
pirates used to lie in wait for passing
ships and the entire area reehs with
memories Of those CORY days.
"Pirate's bay" Rendezvous bay"
"Gallows bay" "Cutlass reef" and
similar names recall a violent past.
From st. Crolx Sir Walter Raleigh
was driven by cannIbals. and later the
Dutch, the French and the English
struggled for possession Of the island.
When France won the struggle she
sold the island to the Knights Of Malta,
who sold 1t to the Danes In 1873, who
sold It to us in 1916.
Above the jeweI.llke harbor of st.
Thomas the picturesque pink and white
city rambles up the hillsIdes and is
still a sort OF spOtless tropical Danish
town In appearance. But in long years
Of possession the Danes never did
force their language on the inhabitants
and English is generally spoken.

Napoleon Among Earliest
to Use Beets for Sura

About 1850 the chemist Margraff dis
covered that beets contained a consid-
erable amount of sugar. This fact was
Of little Industrial Importance until
about 1910. when Napoleon, in an en-
deavor to make Europe Independent
Of all tropical imports, turned to the
beet as a source Of sugar.
By means of heavy research grants
and industrial subsidies. observes an
authority in the Chicago Tribune, he
succeeded before his downfall in CIV
ing the sugar beet industry a firm foot
hold In Europe. Because Of It's pro-
duction being located so close to the
centers of consumption, and because
the sugar content Of beets has been al
most doubled by means Of scientific
selection, the sugar beet has been able
to hold its own against the cane.
About a third of the worlds sugar
comes from beets, most of which are
grown In Europe.
The conversion Of cane or beets is
a process that is simple in principle
but rather complicated In actual prac-
tice. The cane is a tall plant resem-
bling cornstalk and contains about
30 per cent Juice. These succulent
stalks are crushed between rollers to
extract the Juice.
This Juice contains about 1S per cent
sugar and In addition smaller amounts
of certain troublesome impurities,
mainly fiber. proteins. organic acids,
inorganic salts, and plain dirt.

Pipe Food Into
Babes Stomach
Found to Have no Opening
From Its Mouth

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 10
CUP)-Physicians today fought
to save the life of a thrce-day-old
baby girl who was born without
an csophagus.
Born with no opening from her
throat into her stomach, the child
was heine fed through a rubber
tube leading through her ahdoml-
ra! wall direct into her stomach.
Specialists at Maryland Gener-
al hospital believed that the baby
would live despite the "congenital
closure" and were preparing to
make an esophagus through the
living tissues after her physical
condition has been built up to
withstand the shock of the opera
ton.
b Such an operation, if success
full would be one of the surgical
high marks of the year, doctors
pointed out. Less than one child in
a hundred thousand shows even
slight traces of ''congenital clo-
sure" physicians said.
I DR.. P. A. Insley and Robert P.
Bay said the baby girl was normal
in al respects except the missing
esophagus and the fact she has
two right thumbs. They did not
reveal her identity.

its width of almost 200 miles in

The senate, he explained, had
no work to do until its commit
tees, which were hard at work, re-

into a lengthy review of the his
tory of the pending resolution for

smashed at the common argu-

the one that this nation would be
