The United J States Marine Corps is unique In all branches of the American services In having a distinctive marching song that is as "swlngy" and catchy as many of the foreign marching songs. True, West Point has its Benny Havens song and the Seventh Cavalry! inarches to the inspiring tune of "Garry Owen," but "The Jlalls of Montezuma," is sung by all who wear the marine's uniform. One verse of the song—a favorite one—runs: Our flag's unfurled to every breeze, From dawn to setting sun. We have fought in every clime and place. Where we could take a gun; In the snow of far off northern lands And In sunny tropic scenes. You will find us always on the job. The United States Marines.

To correct defec tive feet of girls caused in most cases by wearing high-heeled, pointed-toed shoes, classes are to be organized at the University of Oregon for special physical culture work and instruction, j A report states that prints taken of the feet of twenty-three freshmen co-eds revealed that onty three had "good" feet and not one had a per fect toe line. In future all girls en tering the university will have their footprints taken, the method of which is similar to the taking of thumb ; prints. Most of the prints In tho test showed flat feet. "When one wears high heels," Miss; j Freida Goldsmith, physical director, I says, "the muscles of the arches and I back part of the foot are weakened I and gradually the arch breaks down, ! i causing a flat foot as well as many j physical disorders."

Independents Work Hard; Show Weakness on Defense I Tlie Harrisburg Independents are) working hard for the game with Cam den Saturday night. In the practices, ; I Captain McCord has paid special at- ] tention to the defense, for the Cam-! den team is the best scoring team in : the league. Dolln will probably set the Jump at center, and this will make the locals play more on the defense. Camden „ will bring: their regular league line-up ,to Harrisburg, including Jimmy ; Brown, the best scoring guard in the ; league. On his appearance here earlier in the season, Brown landed " 11 goals from the field. > Sports of All Sorts ! ! Tech tossers have averaged 12 field J goals per game and are tied with 5 Reading for the honor. The local 1 team, on the other hand, has made • the poorest showing in foul shooting, 1 with less than eight tallies from the j 15-foot mark. ? Instead of fighting it out for the Central-Pcnn honors, York high has its hands full winning the city cham pionship. ' Bilheimer's squad lost the first of a > series the other night to the York ' collegiate five by a score of 25 to 14. [ A series will also be played with the York Academy. Fans throughout the Central-Penn | circuit are pulling hard for Central to : win the series. Reading players and " management have made themselves • very unpopular by constant kicking, ; and by baiting officials. 1 Wendler, the big Reading center, ' runs good chances of carryin off the I honors as leading field goal scorer. ! In eight games he has tallied 35 dou -1 ble-deckers and lias a good lead on all of his opponents. Thomas, of Central, is the best foul tosser in the league. In eight games he has netted the ball 99 times from the 15-foot mark. Captain Light, the Lebanon guard, has scored more points than any other defensive player in the league. He has amassed 126 points, but 96 of these are from fouls. Killinger. of Tech, still holds the league record for field goals In onej | game. Against Lancaster he shot 11 j I two-pointers early in January. Coach Gaffney will retain lits entire! team for next season, as not one I j member of the team is farther ad- ! vanced than the Junior class. i Lancaster High, coached by Profes isor WCiler, is one of the weakest! teams ever to lie developed by him.. : Weller lias been liandlcaped by a | lack of material. Had Captain Rote participated in | the Lebanon and Reading, both of ; which were lost by Central, the local ; aggregation would undoubtedly have ; the series clinched. HOSPITALS MAKE NO NEW RATINGS j Pittsburgh Will Not Change What It Has Already Out lined Jo Charge j A Pittsburgh dlstpatch says: "The ] hospitals of this city do not take I kindly to the plan of the Philadelphia j institutions in increasing their charges jfor medical assistance given workmen! I who are injured in the discharge of i their duties under the Workmen's' Compensation Act. Dr. J. M. Baldy, | chairman of the Board of Examiners and Licensure of Pennsylvania, has! i | written to heads of the various hos-| 1 j pltals in Pittsburgh which receive' State aid, calling their attention to the fact that Philadelphia hospitals have! !. | increased their rates and suggesting 1 that the plan be adopted here. 5 "The compensation act allows an Injured employe $25 for hospital bills. - The rate in effect generally through • out this district is $1 a day to ward s j patients and $1.50 a day to corpor ation patients. It was explained that lif this amount was increased to $2 a j day, as suggested, it would mean that I the injured workman would be cared - j for in the hospital at the expense of r the insurance company or corporation : only 12'/4 days. In most cases where ', I a man is sent to a hospital after suf s i fering Injuries while at work he re -1 mains in the instituoion more than s that length of time. This would mean , that the injured employe would be a forced to pay the difference, it is said, i or that there would be a great increase t in charitable patients. "For this reason," one superinten i dent said, "our Institution will not ! increase its rate. It costs about the rate we are charging to care properly for a ward patient, and we do not in tend to work a hardship on the work _ man by increasing the rate." PREPAREDNESS The end of the European war is not anywhere in sight. Even the Rub ber Tired "Peace" Advocate has re ceived a hard jolt In trying to stop the war.

FRANK MORAN TO GET LARGE PURSE First Real Money For Pitts- i burgher in His Boxing Career New York, March 10. Frank Moran, at Dal Hawkins* roitdhouse . yesterday said that he thinks lie will earn $23,750 for boxing Willard. He! has his reasons. "I have been in the boxing game for about seven years," said Moran. "Be fore my first bout with Jim Coffey I boxed for what I could get and sometimes I did not get even that. i "When I boxed Jack Johnson In ; Paris I received exactly nothing. "I boxed Luther McCarty in New j York several years ago and again re ceived no money. "There are thousands of boxers who have gone through the same sort of experience. And tlieir one goal is the championship of their particular di vision. When they reach it they be gin to collect on the past. I started Just before the Coftey match to earn what was my due. All that I get out of the Willard bout will be earned — every cent of It." Bits From Sportland Big game at Cathedral Hall to night. Hassett Girls vs. Yorktown Girls.
