FEAST PLAY

Recalling Herod's slaughter Of
children under two years old in
his attempt to destroy the infant
Christ, the Feast Of the Holy In
nocentS for the first time was
portrayed by children in Wash
ington yesterday at ceremonies in
Our Lady of Victory Church.
More than $50 children partici-
pated. They were dressed to rep
resent the various religious orders
of the Catholic Church and, with
the exception of a benediction
bestowed by the Rev. Louis c.
Vaeth, the entire service was con.
Quoted by the children. For gen.
erationS, children in Rome each
year have conducted a similar
service to mark the feast day.

Which exercises are best for

Everyone, 1t seems, needs ad-

muscles form the weakest spot in
the entire waiStline and are the
most difficult to control, since
we get so little exercise of the
trunk muscles in our daily &C
tivity.
It will pay you to include in
your program the set described
in the leaflet Abdominal Exer-
cises," for it takes strong abdomi-
nal muscles to maintain the
slim, front line of health and

Stretching and bending exer-
coses will keep the waist slender.

there are no immediate visible con-

Do the kind Of exercise you

a bore, then join a gym class for
a good workout two or three times
a week. That kind of exercise
exhilarates your spirits and adds

If you and young Fenton hadn't
blundered In here this morning. 1t
would all have been simple enough.
We merely intended to keep Eddie out
Of sight until Norbeck cancelled its
contract with you. and make deal
with Arrow. Then If Eddie wouldn't
listen to reason, his ship would have
been found cracked up in the noun
tains and nobody would have been
the wiser"
Mr.. Stafford's face paled. you'd
have killed Eddie, just to get that con-
tract for Arrow?" he demanded.
"Oh, not unless 1t was absolutely
necessary" returned Shade calmly.
1--WE figured he'd come around and
not give us any trouble. Your repu-
tation would be ruined, anyway, after
losing two planes inside a week with
out trace, and even if we turned up
later, as we intended to do, the public
never would have confidence in the
Stafford company again."
Mr.. Stafford took an angry step
forward. You're crazy, Shaded" he
cried. "You can't get away with this.
Do you think I'll stand for it? Why,
I'll have you in jail so fast you won't
know what hit you!"
"Oh, you will?" Knocked Shade.
But you'll have to get out OF the
little mess you're in first, won't you?
Suppose that we put you and young
Fenton and Eddie into the Swallow,

OF, and how far would you get? When
you were found everybody would fig
ure that you'd gone out to look for
Eddie, found him, and were bringing
him back when you cracked up. And
who would tell them any different?"
Hal stared with wide eyes at the
tall, sharp-faced flyer, and his
heart turned over. 1t seemed like an
impossible threat, but there was some
thing in the look of Shades eyes that
told him it wasn't. Shade was capable
of doing exactly what he said he
would do.
One of the men beside Shade moved
restlessly. That's enough talk" he
growled. Lets put these two birds
in the shack with Moore and finish
our breakfast. We can settle with
them later"
Shade nodded, and the three men
closed in around Mr.. Stafford and Hal
They were led across the clearing and
into the thick bordering woods. Soon
they came to a cabin, nestled among
the trees, with smoke drifting idly
from its chimney. Behind the cabin
was a shack Of rough boards, toward
which their captors led them.
One of the men removed a heavy
paddock and opened the door, Then
Mr.. Stafford and Hal were showed
roughly inside, and they heard the
door being fastened behind them.

Word "News" Said
To Be Formed of
Points of Compass

THE Chinese lay claim TO the dis
tribution of block-printed news
papers long before the invention OF
printing. But the earliest news sheets
circulated in Europe were manuscript
papers.
The word news" is commonly sup
posed to have reference to the adjec-
tive new" But its origin is also
traced to the custom, in the early
days of news sheets, of placing the
initial letters of the four points Of
the compass at the head of the sheet.
This custom indicated that the sheet
contained information procured from
all the four quarters Of the globe.
Finally, according to this explana-
ton, the reading of these letters from
the top down to the right, gave birth
to the word news" from which the
term newspaper has been derived.

Each Boy Must
Decide on Best
Style of Boxing
BY MIKE ZELEZNOCK.

1885 Intercollegiate Boxing Champion.
135-P0und Glass.
IT IS difncult to advise any boy just
= what style to follow in boxing. BY
this I mean whether he will try to
become an almost perfect boxer and
ring general, or instead attempt to
emulaSe Jack Dempsey in the ring and
literally smother his opponent with
terrific punches. For the most part,
this decision depends on the physique
and temperament Of each boxer.
If you are calm, cool thinker, you
undoubtedly will not lose your temper
when you are hit hard, but will con-
unue to shoot your left glove into the
other boys face. If you can do this
and keep moving around the ring
constantly, keeping out Of corners and
continually making your opponent
back up, you will find that you are
piling up & large number Of points
that will give you the decision. If
you succeed IN this, you will be known
as a ring general, and the fans will
enjoy watching your fine technique.
On the other hand, you may be
the "slugger" type that prefers to
wade in close, taking some punishment
because you know that when you do
get IN close, you can give much more.
With both fists flying into your OPP
ponent, you will soon find him on
the way to defeat.
Before you can box this second
style YOU must be in almost perfect
physical condition. It Is imperative
that your legs be strong enough to
carry you the full length of the bout
without slowing up. You should have
wind enough so that you will feel that
you could 60 on for another 10 min
utes when the last bell rings.
There win always be an argument
as to which type Of boxer Is the better.
I recall one incident very clearly. It
happened in the collegiate Olympic
tryouts in 1882. There was a fighter
from Syracuse University named
Tiger Joe" Moran, who had never
been beaten and had something like
26 knockouts to his credit. In the
finals of the 165-pound class, he met
a boy named Flynn from Tulane.
Flynn was a very smooth boxer, one
who danced around his opponent con-
stantly.
Every one realized that this would
be one of the best bouts of the tourna-
ment, but few gave Flynn much
chance against the Tiger. It was
beautiful fight. For three rounds
Moran kept rushing at Flynn with
both fists flying, but Flynn would
dance out of reach and send a long
left into Moran's face as he rushed
by Moran simply couldn't hit him
at all. and Flynn won the decision on
wide margn of points.
In the next article, will talk about
craftsmanship in the boxing ring.

fashion. They may be mounted in an

THE WOODEN PILLOW. BY Carl

THIS deIcately written novel about

a charm which few sensitive readers
will forget easily. 1t really is not
novel at all, but recording Of a
series of pictures Of japanese life. as
seen through the eyes Of visiting
young Englishman who, himself, never
emerges as a living person. He is.
one supposes, the hero, since he plays
that part in the frail little love story
which develops in the latter pages of
the book, but the love story itself is
just one more of the pictures and the
young mans only real purpose is thnr

author projects his charming impress

he goes with his japanese friends to
the theater, he swins with them in
the bay, he meets o Kaya San and
falls in love with her. Then he re-
turns to England. There is little con-
nection between the episodes, except
that they are essentially blended to-
gether in delicate mood writing. AS

The match box covers may be ar
ranged either by subjects, by coun-
tries or by other logical grouping. 1t
may be a problem to decide where to
place certain of these covers. Here is
one made in Sweden. but exported to
and used in Turkey! If one Is max

they sometimes do. Occasionally
there are actual pictorial scenes. as a
castle in Bucharest or the Newcastle

publication. you may come into con-

them are not only possible, but well

many parts of the world. You may
buy or trade match box covers, too,

gray with worry. Somehow, his logic
is little puzzling. Or maybe it is
his mathematics.
Away with this feminism, says Dr.
Erskine, and then goes on to recon-

to stand on her own achievements,
gathering no reflected honor from
those of her husband, be he ever so
eminent. Butts that not what fem

professor, coming for the moment out
from behind his pocket handkerchief
and drying his streaming eyes. (Was

Let children take either parents

feminism, indeed. The most whole
hearted supporters OF that movement
have been content with asking for
women equality in the forum. Mr..
Erskine now, in the name Of keeping
women properly subdued, advocates
bringing the forum, with all its dust
and uproar, bodily into every home.
That, of course, may be one way of
keeping women from intruding into
the domain Of men. But 1t seems

Effect Means More
Than Method When
Magician Performs
By Thomas the Magician.

ONE Of the most important things
for me to do is to impress upon
You beginners in magic that 1t is
not the method by which the trick
is performed that counts. 1t matters
not whether the trick is simple or
whether it is complicated. The only
thing that really matters is how near
like real magic the effect looks to the
audience.
was chatting with retired
magician the other day, and one OF
the facts that he emphasized most was
that no matter how complicated the
trick looks to the audience, always
do it the simplest way possible. For
an example he showed me a trick.
He tied three knots in my pocket
handkerchief. Then blowing on them
as he pulled, the knots vanished be-
fore my eyes. After I had marveled
at the trick, he repeated 1t, the same
effect taking place. Then 1t was that
he told me that each time he had
used a different method The first
method, he told me, had taken him
six months of daily practice to master.
The second method, which was ider-
tical in appearance to the first, ne
had mastered in a few hours. Nat
urally since they brought the same
effect, it was much more advisable
to use the latter.
Our trick this week is the height
of simplicity, but nevertheless 1t is
fascinatingly mystifying.
Effect: The magician places four
queens In row on the table and
directs the spectators to turn one OF
the cards around while he Is out OF
the, room. This is done, and i'm
mediately upon the performers re-
turn he selects correctly the card
which was turned around.
Explanation: The trick depends
upon a little known popularity in the
printing of the face" cards in any
deck; namely, that the white margins
on one side are always little bit
narrower than those on the opposite
side. Consequently if the four queens
are so placed that the wide margins
all face one way, the reversed card
can be easily spotted by comparing
the margins.
