9 LITTLE TOES JOIN U. S. NAVY,; 1 STAYS NOME Evansville Youth Has the Tenth, Overlapping, Amputated. Nine little toe* joined the navy—but one little toe stayed at home, in Evansville. The tenth little toe of Godfrey G. Elikofer, 18, of Evansville, tried hard to get into the navy, for it was as patriotic as Godfrey s other; nine toes. All ten toes came to Indianapolis and attempted to enlist at the navy recruiting station, 41 West Washington street. ffhake Heads Gravely Basre-looking navy doctors passed along the line of Elikofer toes drawn up at attention They pased before the fourth right toe and shook grave heads. ‘That toe will never do.” they said, for it’s an old navy tradition that overlapping toes never have, trod the decks at Manila or climbed the San Juan hill. The little cripple from birth looked sorrowful and it hung its nail In shame for the deformity which made It unwelcome in Its country's service But it told Elikofer it was prepired to make the extreme sacrifice. Has It Amputated Bo the. ten toes went back to Evansville and the fourth right toe bade its brothers a brave farewell, and was cut off. And after the period of mourning was over, Elikofer returned to Indianapolis with nine toes still to give for his country. He was sent Thursday to the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta- j tion and if he ever marches up a hill at Ban Juan or wings an enemy I battlecraft, the spirit of the little j rejected, stay-at-home toe will march with him.

Learn Backspin Put the Old English on Your Taw, to Be Real Marble Shooter.

BY JOHN JEFFRIES Ntionl Marble Chamnor, BICT league pitchers know how to put the English on a ball. Walter Johnson, Lefty Grove, and some of thoae boys could make a baseball talk. It’s the same thing in marbles. It’s the old English on the taw that brings home the bacon. English on the shooter is the backspin. Learn to put the backspin on. so that after your shooter hits the mib and sends it from

the ring, the taw remains where the mib was. A good marble player also can make his I shooter bounce 'back to almost I any position he desires. I wish all you fellows could have seen ’’Dutch” Robbins in hi* exhibition of backspin down at Ocean City, N. Y., last summer. ’Dutch.” you know, was

Always remember to look forward to your next shot, and try to place your'shooter where it will be In best position for that shot. If you can make your thumb behave—well. Ocean City will be calling you soon! The next story will be about picking yonr shots ELECTION, LUNCHEON FEATURE COAL SESSION Value of Intelligent Marketing Stressed at Meeting.
