They did not disturb them, nor bother them for a long time, so that the swallows gradually became used to the family. They first saw about their white eggs, and then, after that, they became quite friendly. The Mr. Tree Swallows are bluish green above and white underneath. The Mrs. Tree Swallows are gray, and white beneath. Sometimes they build their nests out of grass and feathers for the lining, In fact that is the way they usually do, but they sometimes like to have fine bird homes already made for them.

Speedball Now Popular at Different Colleges VDIAMONDV Apiek-ufs- a Speedball, a combination of footsoccer and basket bail, which may be played by either men or women, is rated by Columbia university authorities as the coming popular sport In America. The game was introduced at the University of Michigan several years ago and is now being taken up all over the country, according to the Columbia coaches. They say it provides the iong needed game for persons of ordinary physical strength. Speedball is played with 11 on a side. A regulation soccer ball is used. Kicking only may be resorted to when the ball is on the ground but a player catching it may pass it around. Scoring Is done In three ways. A kick under the goal posts, as In soccer, counts three points; a forward pass received behind the goal posts, two; and a drop kick over the cross bar, one. W. L. Hughes, athletic director of De Pauw university and a foremost sponsor of the game, is teaching a class at Columbia this summer which is attended by 200 men and women physical education directors and coaches. ball, Billie Brownie Had Come to Visit. the Barn Swallows, build their homes around barns. These swallows like to fly high in the air, and they also love to sit on telegraph wires. So you can often see and study them as they sit on these wires along the roadsides where the wires can be seen. And the little tree swallows are ready to be kindly and friendly, but dont bother them until their babies can look after themselves, for they are very nervous until they feel their babies are strong and can take care of themselves. They wont bother us, will they? until asked Mother Tree Swallow, our babies ore older and can look after themselves. We are no nervous. said Billie Brownie, they No, wont bother you. Billie Brownie had come to visit the swallows and had seen the work that Nick and Nancy and. their Daddy had accomplished for the birds. Billie Brownie was dressed so that real people could not see him, but Mother Nature, you know, had given him special knowledge so that her Natureland children could see him and could understand him, and so he could understand them. I will send out word by the Breeze Brothers, Billie Brownie said, "and they will tell every one about the ways of swallows and what they can do and what they must not do. So the Swallows felt very pleased about this especially the nervous tittle Tree Swallows, who really want to be friendly but who are frightened when their babies are young and help- Ruths contract with the Yankees expires in October, A small pupil in the summer schools recently was told to write an essay on Man.

Connie Mack, but carethe Athletics worn leader who even now is looking forward to another season, tempers his early disappointment of the current race with the development of several youngsters. "I cant call a year a failure, said Connie in seriousness, that gives me four new players I can depend on and makes a twenty-year-ol- d boy potentially the greatest star of the game. If the season brought me nothing except the development of Jimmy Foxx I would still call it a success. Jimmy has borne out a prophecy 4 made the first time I saw him in action. Manager Mack caught his first glimpse of the sensational Marylander in tlie spring of 1925. Foxx, a quiet, countrified kid, reported to the Athletics as a catcher at the same time Mickey Cochrane, the most eagerly sought minor league catcher of the previous season reported. The subdued d and bashful, country lad cost a few hundred dollars, and the cocky, confident collegian came with a fancy price of $50,000. All the attention of the word painters was centered on Cochrane until one morning at the training camp, when Connie Mack remarked to a group about him that he had picked up a player who would some day make them all sit up and take notice. Naturally, his listeners thought he was referring to Cochrane. But when one of them asked if it was Mickey, Connie answered in the negative and pointed to Foxx. There is the fellow I mean, Jimmy Foxx, said Connie, pointing to where the husky stripling was working with mitt and chest protector in front of a batting cage.

Within a stone urn weighing igj pounds and fashioned skillfully s though by modern tools was .found the skeleton of an Indian girl tween five and seven years. Her hands apparently had clutched the rim of an urn, whose rich ornamentation of wampum bespeaks her royal lineage. In a circle with the urn as a were counted by Prof. Ralph Glij, den, curator of the Catalina museum of Channel island Indians, the skeletons of 64 children buried in tiers four deep with small heads touching each other. Beneath them was the skeleton o! man. A spear blade still a seven-foo- t was fixed in the ribs. The sand within the funeral urn had the appearance of ground crystal apparently, according to the discoverer, a sacred sand used in the burial of Indian royalty and was far dif, ferent from that which had sifted over the graves of the other children. These finds as well as a wealth of obsidian knives, spear points and arrow heads and hundreds of other astone and rticles of wampum-inlai- d bone have provided material over which Glidden has puzzled since bn discovered them. One thin piece of slate he believes to be a stone map, holes having been drilled to indicate trails to the four main burying grounds on Santa Catalina island. It is plausible, Glidden said, that the strange child burial within the urn and those surrounding it were the result of a natural death of a little girl of high rank and the slaying of 64 attendants and playmates with her. Or they all may have been killed in some religious ceremonial rite. It is even possible the princess may have been given some potion and buried alive.
