FINDS CUBIST ART WASINVENTEDBY ANGIENTSCHOLAR Two Thousand Year Old JigSaw Puzzle Basis of Cubinism. / '/ Timex Special \ LONDON, Soi)t. 10,—Archimidies, lie mighty mathematician of antiquiy has just been discovered to have Iso been the inventor of cubist art. This fact has been deduced trough the reconstruction of a ■lathematical jig-saw puzzle first ' forked out more than 2,000 years go by Archimides. The puzzle is i nown as tl(ie loculus and consists of urteen pieces of ebony wood of irying shapes, chiefly triangles. ie game is to arrange and rearnge these fourteen blocks into the reatest possible variety of pictures. The number of effects that can be ■ ibtained with them and the astonishing similarity the resultant figures show to the products of cubist art has caused Archimides to be tailed in London as the first cubist. In consequence the proponents of ihe cubist school of artistic thought who have considered that their works were the last word in moernity have found themselves left peechless by the discovery that intead of being at the crest of modern irt, they are at least 2,000 years behind the times. Loculus In its day was as great a rage with the ancient Greeks and Romans as cross-word puzzles are vith the people of today. Rediscovery of the game was nade by R. D. Oldham, F. R. S. in •onection with some research work iver ancient Greek manuscripts. When he followed the designs and nstructions as revealed in the manuscripts and reconstructed tl*a :ame he was the first person to play it for 1,500 years. He recently demonstrated the game at a session of the Royal Socleiy before a group of old men, who had detoted their fives to science. The mathematical brilliancy of Archimides in originally working out the fourteen mathematical shapes, which could be combined to evolve the maximum number of representative objects, brought exclamations of admiration. Oldham himself formed the blocks 'nto a great array of figures based upon old Greek and Roman designs, such as soldiers, runners, barking dogs, flying geese, an ostrich, ships and other objects. He said that Archimedes had originally de-

Team of Loren .Markle breakin g the State load-pulling record.

Steady! Steady! Now—Go! These were the magic words of Loren Markle of Gaston, Ind., just as his team of heavy Belgians bent to the traces and pulled the equivalent of fifteen and a half tons a distance of twenty-seven feet at the Indiana State Fair. Without further command, Markle’s team pawed the earth to a State championship and a handsome cash prize for their owner. Hardly had the referee's whistle blown, in-

PRINCE GIVES‘FEATHERS’ Royal Seals Are Obtained Easily by Shopkeepers. LONDO'N, Sept. 10. London dalers sometimes secure quite easily the coveted seals of the King. Queen or Prince of Wales, displayed in store windows following patronage of the shop by these members of the t oytl family. The Prince of Wales, who always chooses his own cigars and cigarettes, recently jwent to a shop near St. James St. and made several purchases. His orders were completed and he was leaving the shop when a nidea struck him. “By the way," he called out to the shopkeeper from the doorway, “if it would do you any good to hoist those three feathers over the doorway, you’re quite welcome.” The astonished owner lost no time in displacing the seal of the Prince of Wales with the inscription—“By ; Appointment.

dicating the distance had been negotiated, than Markle leaped from the seat of the pulling contrivance and responded to a deafening ovation from the grandstand crowd. “They’ve never pulled logs or gravel,” Markle responded to numerous questions as to how he had trained them in the art of moving such ponderous loads. Markle's tegm beat out a team owned by Jack Gillespie of Wabash on a smaller load, equaling the State champion-

RAINBOW ROADWAYS LONDON.—Among the many suggestions for improved traffic conditions here is the proposal that the paved roadways be painted in various bright colors. Another suggestion calls for luminous curbstones as an aid to pedestrians and motorists, provided the latter are not already “fit up.” Persia’s parliament is called the Mejllss.

WHITE RACE IS MENACE Mounting Birth Rate Will Mean Economic Disaster. Bn United Brc SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.— White races not the yellow constitute the world menace, in the opinion of Professor Percy L. Clark, Cornell University economist, who Is now on a western lecture tour. The white race is multiplying at a far greater rate than the others, having increased from 130,000,000 to 600,000,000 in 175 years and if this Increase is maintained it will mean economic disaster for Europe and America, Professor Clark points out. PI MP BALL FROM LUNG PRAGUE—A boy. blowing lead balls from a pipe, inhaled too strongly and drew one into his lung. Efforts to extract it weere unsuccessful and his life was despaired of. Then a rubber hose was inserted until the end touched the obstruction. An air pump was used and the ball was drawn out almost immediately. The site for the White House was selected President George Washngton and Maj. Pierre L’Enfant. when they laid out the city of Washington in_l79l.
