rrrrr well, he has anglicized his moniker
to Jack Curley, Chicago. He is an
Alsatian, and getting away from the
' vernacular used to work the Allemnu-
n‘uin dialect.
We haven't a suspicion what the dia-
lect is, but if we could cop oft bales

have to be coaxed to use it.

He did all manner of things and
people, after passing the inspectors,
to satisfy a healthy appetite. From
washing dishes, being a waiter, a bar-
kecp and owning his own drum, he
hopped right into the. tight game. as a ‘,
bum (loud pedal) pirch boxer.
This didn't get Jack publicity and be
hooked up with promoter'LOtt House-
man. The kale appeared to Curley
and he sawed wood. Just as his
thought focused the McGovern-(lane
fake was pulled and the games re.
ceived its duietus in Chicago.
We next see Cnrley advance man of
the Jeflrles-Gotch combination. For
Ithlh slipped him a three-karat glisten-
er and a mess of money.
About this time the terrible-man-

second time and Curler grabbed him
first. He handled the Russian—dinn-

years and gathered a young fortune.
Then came the second match with

Odd Origin of Our Common Toma-

Pathfinder:
in former times the lirltish stand-
ards of weights and measures were
kept at Winchester, whence comeI the
name “Winchester bushel." lt puzzled
the people of those times very much
to find any definite and permanent ba-
sis tor measuring. and not until the
French devised the metric system—-
based on the uncheungsahle length of
a meridian of. the earth-«was any
really scientific attempt made to
solve the problem. in the itith cen-
tury It was decreed in England that an
inch should heythe length of three
burleyuorns—tbree average kernelo of
barley. This measure is still found in
some old arithmetic tables: “three
‘burleycorns make one inch." Latei
the inch was changed to a "ihumb's
breadth." The foot was obviously de-
rived from the tenth of the human
foot. Bunkers are all lengths at test.
you say. Yes, and so an average of
many different feet was struck. There
is nothing more unvarylng than aver-
ages. they say. in Koebei‘s curious old
work on surveying the following,r direq~
tions are given for finding a mod on
rod. and incidentally a foot:
To find the length oi! it read in the.
scientific usage, you shall do as fol-
lows: Stand at the door at a church
on a Sunday and bid .16 men to stop,

thcn make them put. their foot
behind the. other and the length obtain-
ed shall be right and lawful root! to
measure and survey the land with, and
the 16m part of it shall he a right and
lawful foot.’ ‘
The stride or pace was a very natu-
ral unit of measure. What was easier
than to count a thousand paces and
call it a mile. The Romans did this
very thing. They calledVa stay a “pas-
sus," unpace, and the "mile passuum.“
