VOLUME XLI, NO. 44 HARRY GRAPHIC Firpo Reso Tactics to Knock Was Practic in All Clinc Panther" th Given Unanim Decision, Refe (Herwood Broun in N. Y. World) Harry Wills beat Luis Angel Firpo last night and enjoyed it. Indeed, the big Negro fighter's obvious delight in punching the Argentine may have accounted for the fact that the bout at Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City, went the full twelve rounds—and they were dreary rounds. Firpo could not hit Wills. He did not and more than half a dozen punches. Wills could and did hit Firpo as he liked, but they were punishing and not finishing blows. In the second round Wills swung a right to Firpo's jaw as they came out of a clench and the Wild Bull went down hard. He landed on his back, and was there for seven seconds. Never again in the entire fight did a knockout seem imminent. With his man up and groggy, Wills seemed seized with a curious hesitancy. He did not increase his pace or rouse himself up to any blazing fury. Licking Firpo was just a job to Wills. He plugged away at it as if he had been engaged in tossing crates on a dock WILLS PUNCHES RHYTHMICALLY There was the same steady rhythm, Every five seconds the big black man reached out and hit Firpo resoundingly on the kidneys. It seemed as if he must dig a trench there and, indeed, by the final round, the skin of Firpo blazed a red outline of Harry's glove. As Wills swung the fail, he grinned and was happy. To him this Latin-American seemed to stand as a symbol of the oppressive Nordic. And perhaps old scores, chalked down into the race memory of Wills on slave ships and in cotton fields were wiped away last night. There was in Wills no powerful, hurled urge to end the state of affairs. It was more to him to punch white skin and see it turn red. Obviously the Negro heavyweight had a sense of power and sufficiency which was not his until the bell rang. He reigned as tyrant while the fight was on, and why should he wish to have it done with? WILLS REALIZES HIS MASTERY In Wills a palpable change took place once he had swung and landed the first blow. Sitting in his corner before the fight began, the Negro was ill at ease. He looked fixedly at his shoes. He moistened his lips continually and they remained dry. The bell rang. Up stood Harry Wills, as fine a figure as a sculptor ever dreamed of. His muscles ripped like water after a stone is thrown. His hand darted into the face of Firpo. Wills seized the mighty right of Firpo and pulled it down. He knew at that moment that mastery was his, and so he began to play and linger with his power. By now the lips of Wills were no longer dry. He smiled through twelve rounds and once or twice the smile became a aneur. For a long time Wills had waited for this fight, and he was not in any hurry. Firpo objected to many of the blows which were delivered in the clinches, although the referee ruled them to be fair. Partly in protest and partly in TOMMY HALL pain, Luis cried out again and again "Hey!" as the black fall landed on the blazing skin above his kidneys. And when Firpo cried out the grin of Wills was broader. Knock, knock! knock. So it went for 12 rounds, as the blows of Wills flashed through the air and thudded on the back of the white man. It seemed as if the Negro was knocking at a closed door. And, though he never ceased his battering, the door would not swing open. There need be no question of the courage of Firpo. He weathered a dreadful time in the second round, when Wills floored him. Luis was not looking for the blow. It came almost with the break, though the experts said the men were clear at the time and that the punch was fair. Firpo held until his head was clear and then danced about a bit to shake off the vapors. MOSTLY CLUTCHED ON PINCHES. After that second round, the bout was almost wholly without incident. It is never very thrilling to see a man punched on the kidneys and after the two or three hundredth time the blow landed, it became a monotonous as an exhibition of nail driving. But through the glove of Wills almost buried itself in the flesh of Firpo, it came away again each time to flash under the white lights with the same recurrent thud. Some of the trainers said Firpo was not in the best of condition, but it seemed to me as if some sort of steel must have been about his waist, for though he flinched and cried out, he kept coming in at Wills. The long right arm swing of the Argentinian came round slower and slower as the fight went on, and it was never even at the beginning, fast enough to land on the polished bronze figure, who slipped this way and that in front of the man from the Pampas. Even when the glove of Firpo FIRPO KNOCKED DOWN IN SECOND ROUND. INTL. Firpo Floored in Second Round with Smashing Right to Jaw as Mob of 80,000 Yell for Knock Out. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1924. touched Wills, it seemed to glance off. Mostly the men were tightly locked in clinches, and at such times Wills could swing Firpo round and round as he pleased. WHERE WAS FIRPOS TERRIBLE RIGHT? What became of Luis Firpo's murderous right? I don't know yet whether or not he can hit. He may have dropped Jack Dempsey, but he never had me in danger, for he never landed one good wallop in the entire fight. I nearly had him out in the second. THE BOXING FIGHT County: The News Leader I won every round with ease, and had the Bull not held all the way I would have knocked him out sure. You can't make a man fight when he won't. He "kil-yed" all the way from my body punishment. I am sure, the fight been a fifteen-round bout as they have in New York. I would have stopped him. He sure would never have gone the limit had he not climbed like a wrestler. I don't think he's very game, because he yells when hurt. I bet a few of his ribs are broken. It was just a workout for me and guess every one will say I easily proved his master. Now bring on Dempsey. TOOK DE FOREST'S ADVICE. VIRGINIA SEP 20 1924 inal triumph. JOHN MITCHELL, JR ENTINE RSEY CITY. the fifth round. Jimmy De Forest; Firpo's old trainer was yelling at me "feint him, Harry," and I did. When we were in close and I landed, Firpo yelled, "hey, hey," at the referee to make me stop. I smacked him with a left and then a right and shook him up again. I felt I had the honors safe when we came out for the sixth. I was as cool as a cucumber. About the only place Firpo had hit me so far was back of the head. He wanted to hold so he could land on my neck. I was laughing at him, he seemed so easy. I landed a hard right on Firpo's jaw and he just glanced my jaw with a right as I was backing away. I landed a nice left on Firpo's stomach at the start of the seventh and he said "Back." He didn't like it in the kitchen. 'Kitchen' tried his left and I countered with a hard right to his jaw. Every time I landed a right on Firpo's ribs he complained. He wasn't acting exactly game. At the start of the eighth I thought I had Firpo at my mecce. He wanted to hold all the time. Firpo was tired. I sent a terrific right under Luigi's heart. I just slipped from the bottle of water to rinse my mouth during the round. My handlers, Jeff Clark, Jack Dougherty and Paddy Mullins didn't have any "reviving" to do. You can't beat that Southampton air. I shook Firpo in the ninth with a punch back of the head. I was scoring at will with lefts and rights. What had become of Luís's murderous right? They were working hard over Firpo between rounds. At the start of the tenth Firpo was still complaining of being hit by my right on the ribs. The skin was red from punishment. Firpo tried a right uppercut and I knocked it down. Firpo couldn't hit me and the Bull was getting mudder by the minute. I didn't think the Argentine had a round so far. There was little doing in the eleventh, as Firpo just wouldn't fight. In the twelfth Firpo held on to save himself. FELT "CHIPPER" IN MORNING. When I hopped out of bea on this day of days for me I was feeling just as chipper as ever I did when I was a youngster riding horses in early morning workouts at the track.

COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" 1—"LABOR CLASS PROBLEM," PLUS 2—SUPREME COURT AND CONGRESS. 3—NOTES OF THE NOTABLES. (Preston News Service) Writing in the August "Liberator," Editor Robert Minor finds solace in sounding the philosophy that "the Negro's emancipation can be completed only in the manner in which it was begun: by treating it as a labor class problem." Following this philosophy with the quotation of the open letter which was recently sent to the American Federation of Labor by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the editor avers that "the Negro's first step to equality is in the organized working class" and that "his second and final step to complete freedom will come with the rise of that class, black and white, to the position of the ruling class." Thus are Capital and Labor again prophetically arrayed against each other, and entwined with the outcome of their many sided battle, Editor Minor predicts that the "problem" has a foremost place. We cannot subscribe to this view for the reason that within the Race, itself, Capital is becoming as potent a factor as Labor; and, further, neither the objective of organized labor, black or white, nor of massive capital is to become the "ruling class" of America. Such has not been America's history, despite the allegations of various discontented labor groups and capitalistic classes. The Negro, of course, as a slave, was exploited and suppressed; but the arm of American freedom stretched itself out to him. Thereafter, despite grievous civic and political oppressions he has been forging ahead. The East St. Louis riots were a stain upon any "equality" which might have been sought between the organized working class and the Negro worker. Racial sentiment in America is practically the same on the part of either whites or blacks. The desire to accumulate wealth is the same. The unseen forces of selfishness are the same. There are black classes just as there are white classes, and the hopes of the masses, white and black, are akin. Intraracial organization comes before interracial organization, and this is one of the PLUS factors of a broader emancipation. Were this not true, there would be no National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,—no Universal Negro Improvement Association, etc. The fate of the Civil Rights Bills and the Anti-Lynching Bill bespeak proof of this statement. No, gentle reader, the Negro "problem cannot be treated as a labor class problem, alone. It is full of all the other elements which would nurture the welfare of American citizens. Coordination of efforts and of intraracial groups under the virtues bespoken by the U. S. Constitution is the first step to complete freedom. And when this step has been taken we must make a "life-size" plus mark and add every single element that has made for the complete freedom of America's white classes and masses.

"LABOR CLASS PROBLEM," PLUS ```markdown ``` SUPREME COURT AND CONGRESS. those who advocate, as does Senator Robert M. LaFollette, a reviewing by Congress of decisions of the U. S. Supreme Court. We wonder how those Negroes, who are blindly calling for such a possibility, would like to have had such a condition in effect when the U. S. Supreme Court was interpreting the laws which made the Negro free, gave him a vote, and elevated him to the full growth of citizenship. We'll admit that there is room for much improvement; that rights, in many cases are grudgingly granted; and that we've a hard fight before us to see the silver lining. But, suppose the Supreme Court decision in the case of Strauder vs. West Virginia, which tested the right of a Negro to sit on a jury, had been reviewable by a hostile Congress. Suppose, even now that congressmen from the "Solid South," elected only by stifling the unrepresented Negro vote, could pass upon Supreme Court decisions relating to constitutional questions. What do you think would happen to us? Suppose the bitterly-fought segregation cases, fostered by districts and sponsored by Congressmen who believe in keeping the Negro in "his place," were to be brought back to Congress for final decision, and that the congressional majority believed in the doctrine of Mr. LaFollette, who once said that "his objections to the demand for political equality for the Negro was based solely on the ground of expediency." Pray, tell us, please, where would we go from here? Suppose that the Supreme Court decision which upheld the commerce clause of the U. S. Constitution, and thereunder upheld the creation of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which has power to compel southern railway lines in "Jim Crow" States, when handling interstate passengers; to provide the same equipment and comfort for colored passengers as are provided for white passengers. I say, suppose this decision were reviewable by Congress. What do you think would happen to us? Suppose! But the supposition could not possibly find a resting place in the minds of thinking people. To the Negro, the Supreme Court has been the guarantor of Liberty. Down through the struggles of Republican Congresses to safeguard the rights of the freemen, the U. S. Supreme Court has put the seal of the law upon enacted legislation. And now, malconservatives, macro malcontents, too, would subject this stance Miss Hallie Q. Brown, National Director of the Colored Women's Campaign, Republican National Committee, has recently been in the East, shaping up her organization. Here go our best wishes to Jefferson S.

SATURDAR, SEPTEMBER 20, 1924 GRUMBLING is all right some of the time, but it will never do all of the time. THIS life is a struggle and it takes a valiant individual to make a success of it. SOME people are never happy unless they are getting some one else in trouble. TRUST God and you will come out all right, even though it may seem at times that your troubles are about to absolutely destroy you. HON. JOHN W. DAVIS and his political organization are all right. The only trouble will be in getting the colored folks to believe it. WITH due respect to Dean William Pickens, what would Marcus Garvey be worth without his mouth or W. E. B. DuBois without his pen? TREAT white folks right and some of them will treat you right. Treat coerced folks the same way and they will follow the example of the white folks RACIAL persecution brings about racial concentration and racial solidarity. Those who have been criticising the Negroes for these characteristics should direct their attention to those people who caused it. We sometimes think that the Millenium is weil nigh at hand. What better evidence of it do you want than the fact that Texas has voted against the Ku Klux Klan and Louisiana has proscribed them. In addition to this a Democratic candidate for President has denounced In unmeasured terms, the whole organization. THEY laud Hon. John W. Davis and tell of his transcendent qualities, but when it comes to the Hon. Charles W. Bryan, Governor of Nebraska and brother of the Great Commoner, Hon. William J. Bryan, they have no word to say and apparently have overlooked the fact, that he, too, was nominated by the Democratic National Convention at New York. As the campaign progresses, it may be that the Democrats down here will remember that two candidates are running for office instead of one. FULTON NOTES. Rev. C. B. Jefferson preached at Mt.

(Continued from Page 1) phernalia, all the stuff that I used in training for my battle with the Bull and started downtown in my car on the way to Jersey City, where I hired a room close to Boyle's Thirty Acres. I had a short walk, after which I returned to my room and rested un- all my manager, Paddy Mullins, called to take me over to my old friend Joe Jeannette's gym, in West Hoboken, where we weighed in. Of course we weren't making any weight for this bout and the weighing in seems a foolish idea—but I guess it assures the Boxing Commission and the promoter that the principals will be on deck for the fight in the evening. I weighed 217 to Firpo's 224 1-2 pounds. GLAD TO SEE JOE. I was gald to see my old rival, Joe Jeannette, and he wished me luck against the Wild Bull. About 4 o'clock I ate a nice juicy piece of steak, with several ] pieces of toast and a glass of milk and I returned to my quarters to rest and await the time to be called to the arena. I was feeling like a fighting cock and sure that I not only would beat Firpo, but that I could have whipped Jack Dempsey for the title had he been pitted against me. —(By Harry Wills) WILLS WON EASILY SAYS THE REFEREE FIRPO WAS DISAPPOINTMENT TO DANNY SULLIVAN—WOULD NOT OR COULDN'T FIGHT. Wills Much Too Clever and Stronger But Was Too Careful. (By Danny Sullivan, the Referee, in the New York World.) the New York World.) Harry Wills won his fight with Luis Firpo easily. The better man won on his form last night, in my opinion. Firpo was a big disappointment, and Wills showed that he is ready for anything. A bit of overcoautiousness, it seemed to me, and the lack of time in that second round, when Firpo hit the floor for a count of four, and Wills might have won by a knockout and tied Dempsey's record with the "Wild Bull." Firpo didn't make his usual slambang, clouting, crushing attack. There was nothing of the viciousness that he showed against Willard and against Dempsey. For one thing, Wills took the steam out of him too early, it seemed to me, and for another thing, Wills seemed to have a smart way of evading that big wallop with the right. He rolled away from all of them till the sting was gone for good. You couldn't make a good fight of the affair for Firpo simply wouldn't or couldn't fight. He protested in the ring against the wallops he had to take in the kidneys—terrific blows—but he agreed to the rule of hitting with one hand free and then he didn't take advantage of it himself. His best blow, it seemed to me, was the right to the body, and he landed hard with it several times, but he couldn't hurt Willis. I had expected, in view of Willis's past fights, to have trouble with him over holding and hitting. As a matter of fact, Willis fought a remarkably clean fight. He did none of his usual stuff of hanging around his opponent's neck and batting with the other arm, and he did not use his back hand punch once. Had Firpo been willing to come out and battle straight away, there'd have been a real fight, as I said. Wills, as I saw it, was far too clever for Firpo. The Wild Bull didn't land his famous overhead right once, that is, cleanly. But it was the fear of that blow which probably saved him from a knockout. There seemed some disposition to criticise Wills for hitting Firpo as they came out of that clinic in the second—that righthander which put Firpo on the floor. The blow was perfectly legitimate. It landed simply because Firpo was too careless in breaking away to hold up his hands and protect himself. He came out of the clinch with his hands down and Wills simply popped him. It was clean hard blow, right to the out. ... counted four and remember taking Firpo was taking a chance FOLKS IN OUR TOWN Popan Hiram Spend a Day at the Shore By Edward McCullough AUTOCASTER HOT PANCAKES HIRAM SHE'S GOT A BETTER FIGGER THAN MY LINDY SAY POP I'M GONNA TRY TO GIT A LIFE SAVER'S JOB FER BOUT A WEEK - ALL RIGHT THEN - NOW WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU SAW A WOMAN BEIN' WASHED OUT BY TH' TIDE? I'D THROW HER A CAKE OF SOAP in getting up so soon. Wills to me seemed too careful. I expected to see him tear in with blows to the head, but he didn't. He seemed afraid of Firpo's sowling face and whi' he landed a couple of good blows before the bell, they weren't nearly enough to push over the South American again. After that, however, the steam seemed all out of Firpo, though he was always on the aggressive. You can't take that away from him, he is willing, but last night he was far too slow with such a man as Wills in front of him. Most people have had the opinion that Firpo is a marvel of strength. Last night Wills was far the stronger, was in far better condition, and threw Firpo around the ring with ease. He had to be able to do it for in the last three rounds Firpo was continually 'lying' on Wills and refusing to stand out and fight. Perhaps it seemed strange to the spectators that I started the fighters off without any talk in the middle of the ring. That was because I had seen them both and knew exactly what they were expected to do. I had seen both fighters in the afternoon at the gymnasium in West Hoboken. After they had weighed I took them into a room with Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, and an interpreter and friend of Firpo. We went over the rules to govern the fight. We agreed on everything. The men were to fight with one arm free. There was to be $n_0$ holding and hitting, no back-hand hitting and the men agreed not to use the so-called rabbit punch. I had the Firpo-Dempsey fight in mind and brought up the question as to what was to happen in case either man or both fell out of the ring. I told them, and they both agreed that I would start a count if either man was not in the ring. If both were out, it was agreed that the man back first before the count of ten was to win. I feared Firpo's savage, rushing style of battling and was prepared for it. but I am glad the battle didn't come to that, in fact, there wasn't enough rushing. Both men were friendly. They had a few harsh exchanges in the ring when Firpo "kicked" on the body punishing, but Wills simply shouted back to him to come on. It was a great crowd. Too bad it wasn't a better bout.

A CAKE OF SOAP? Nothing responds to loving, careful building up of beauty so quickly as a woman's face and hair, when treated the right way and with correct, scientific materials that feed the tissues and create a healthful, peachy skin glow and give new life and elegance to a beautiful woman's hair. Eva Summers proves this by the lovliness that distinguishes her from a roomful of fine appearing women. "Any woman can have supreme beauty of face, and hair that will give her the proudest delight," she says, "for the simple investment of a very small sum of money in Exelento Skin Beautifier, Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Soap, and a small amount of time each day applying these wonderful preparations as directed on the package." "These are all I have used and all any woman needs; these and the determination to put her beauty first and to let nothing interfere with her daily applications of Exelento Skin Beautifier, Exelento Skin Soap and Exelento Quinine Pomade." At close quarters Wills pounded the body and ribs with his right, while Firpo hung on like grim death. Firpo jabbed left to the face and then Funeral Parlor Rest-Rooms Phones—Office Ran. 2073.

SIX "Boy Howdy!" I finally managed to exclaim when I saw that the strange visitor was Ted Billings. "Gosh, you gave me an awful start." I continued. |I didn't recognize you. Ted, you're so squiffy. He caught my shoulders. This was the second time that night they had been held firmly. Curtiss Wright had pressed his hands to them a few moments before, but this time the touch was different. Ted's grip was so intense. "Ith awright, Thalille," he stammered, "all that innocent baby-doll stuff it th over. I love you, you ill' devil!" he concluded, at the same time trying to force his kisses upon me, I had never seen Ted drunk before and he was revolting. A bit of Marjorie Chenoweth's philosophy came across to me at that very moment. "Laugh, Bambina," she had told me in one of her heart-to-heart confessions, "men can't stand to be made fun of in their love-making. They want to be serious and a sense of humour is sometimes more protection to a girl than a chaperone, or even virtue!" "Where'd you get that pre-Vo stead jagg, old Scout?" I laughed up at TeB Billings. "Come off, Teddy, you weren't a sheik and this isn't the Garden of Allah. It's Atlantic Beach and much nicer." "This is no joke, stop that infernal kidding," he commanded, and his fingers sank deeper. "You've had a pretty good time playing with me, but that don't go to-night. Dye hear, you lil' beauty?" He crushed me to him and I felt a wave of repulsion that was overwhelming. Our shadows made weird distorted blotches, like giants on a string, in the moonlight. "Don't be so squirmish," he admonished. "Wassa matter. Thallie, you never have minded il' loving. Don't be so stingy with your kisses. Ah! savin' 'em for your architect friend. he sneered. "The rest of the bunch aren't dumbells. Thallie, we all knew you were pullin' a pettin' party." I flinched, and the picture of Curtiss Wright paraded before me. I could not help comparing the two The Collier Trophy AUTOCASTER Gold, silver and bronze ballo: box trophy, 36" x 28", from Tiffany, which will be awarded by Colliers, the National Weekly, to the state which makes the largest proportional increase in its vote for President this year over 1920.

Curtiss Wright hadn't even permitted ME to kiss him when we were playing a silly game earlier in the evening, and while Ted's words wounded me deeply. I couldn't bear having Curtiss Wright accused of something he was above doing. I hated the injustice of his implications. "Listen, Ted," I tried to summon a tone of raillery, "you're tight and you're not being a good sport, either. You can't find this in the book of etiquette. It isn't bein' done this season!" and I smiled falsely, until I noticed that he wasn't paying the slightest attention to what I was saying. Then I struggled desperately, but he twisted my head up with his arm and forced more of his offensive kisses upon me. "Ted, you dog!" I screamed at him. "Let me go or I'll holler!" There was no need now of pretense of humour. "Go ahead, and holler your head off," he suggested, grabbing me closer. "No one can hear the pretty lady." Ted panted. "I've got you! Whee! What a 'il' mermaid!" "Tell you what let's do, Ted," making my voice as natural as possible. "Sit down, we'll have a good old 'ag' and talk it over." "Talk, hell," he laughed harshly. "Come on, now, ill' Thallie"—I'll never forget the disgusting way he said my name—"be the life of this party. Don't chew wanna love me?" He didn't even look like the Ted Billings had always known. Gone was the good-humoured boy with whom he had laughed and danced and frolicked since childhood. I looked across the lonesome sand dunes and realized the situation and for the first time in my life I was frantic. "I'm not like that, I'm good, really I am, Ted; please, please let me go." I began to sob. "Stuff don' go. Thallie, you're spoofin'!" And with that he gave one tug at my shoulder strap and I could hear the taffeta splitting. "Let me go, you CAD!" I hissed at him. But he feared at my efforts. (Continued Next Week.) Heads American Legion AVOCASTER Edward E.

HOW DOES A GIRL YOUNG MAN'S MISS FLO ANSWERS WEST VIRGINIA QUESTION—PROPOSALS ARE BY FLO. HOW DOES A GIRL ACCEPT HER YOUNG MAN'S PROPOSAL? MISS FLO ANSWERS WEST VIRGINIA GIRLS MOST INTERESTING QUESTION—PROPOSALS ARE KARE, BUT YET POSSIBLE. Dear Miss Flo: When a young man asks your company home and you have company, what should be your answer? (2) When a gentleman asks a young lady to be his wife what should be her reply if she wishes to marry him? (3) What sort of a gift would be proper to give to a young man for a birthday present? (4) In having a box supper, is it polite for a young girl to describe her box if she is asked to do so by one of her boy friends? (5) When a lady is asked by a young man her age, should she tell him? (6) Is it out of the way for an engaged couple to kiss good-night? .Thank you PEGGY. (1) If you have an escort home, tell the gentleman that you have made arrangements for going home. (2) That's a rather difficult question to answer, Peggy, as it depends entirely upon the girl's nature and her emotions. Suppose, for instance, John says to Mary: "Mary, darling, I love you, and want you to marry me." If Mary is a modern, frank young person, and she is sure that she wants to marry John, she will probably say: "I also love you, John, and will be very happy to be your wife." Then, again, Mary may be a little shy, and she may not be quite ready to say, "Yes."

GINIA GIRL'S MOST INTERESTING BE KARE, BUT YET POSSIBLE. case, she will tell him something like this: "John, dear, I like you very much," but I think I would like a few days in which to think it over." As a matter of fact, Peggy, there are few real proposals. By the time that stage of love is reached, where a man wishes to marry a girl, there is just sort of an understanding, and before they know it, they are planning their living room, furniture, curtains, etc. And if there should be a really honest-to-goodness proposal, Mary's own feelings will guide her speech. (3) If you wish to give a boy friend a gift, why not make it a carton of his favorite cigarettes, a book, initialed handkerchiefs, or some other small gift that will be practical and that will be sure to be appreciated (4) It doesn't show very good sportsmanship to describe your box to the boy with whom you would like to share your box. The idea of the box supper is, more or less, a game of chance, and the gentleman is supposed to take a chance upon getting the box belonging to the girl he would like to have supper with. In other words it would be cheating and giving the boy an unfair advantage to describe your box. (5) It is permissible for the lady to tell the gentleman her age if she wishes. (6) An engaged couple may kiss good-night.

Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physician of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to be free operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE. 4 Anburn Ave., Richmond Va. I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him, and they have also gotten cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indication by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommand Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully. J. D. TAYLOR 2419 B. Grace St. Richmond, Va.

SEVER This Week By Arthur Brisbane THE REAL NEW YEAR. WHAT IS "WELL BORN?" THE TACTFUL PRINCE. LABOR MUST SAVE ITSELF Men and women, young or old, with ambition left, should rober that a new year has l. The new year of SUCCESS does not begin on January 1, in the middle of Winter. It begins now, with Summer ended, vacations over, schools open, everything under way. He who begins carrying out his good resolutions and working hard now, instead of waiting until next January will have a start of four months on the others, and that's a good start. Flying from Greenland to Labrador, the American fliers got back to the American mainland in five months and fourteen days after their start around the world. Children of the future will be amazed at this slow trip around the world. A feature of public school education in future ages will be a flying trip around the world during Summer vacation. The child of twelve will know the principal mountain ranges, rivers and capitals of the world by having actually seen them. Statistics show that the month of marriage is changing from June to August, and that's a good thing. June is the month from the romantic point of view, August from the practical point of view. The first baby of an August wedding comes along in the Spring with the flowers of May and can be put outdoors at once to get fresh air. In addition, the mother can nurse the baby all through the hot months of the first Summer, when the right artificial food is hardest to find. Scientists, students of Eugenics, welfare workers and others, includ- liant author of the "New Science" are much worried about human breeding, and in the future of the race. "The well born refuse to breed, and the ill born insist on breeding too much," or these anxious worriers. It all depends on what you call well born. The fortunate child is born of a mother that wants children and the ill born comes from a mother that does NOT want children. Time, evolution, gradual lifting up of the frontal angle, and public schools will take care of the human race, if the babies get the right start. The right start begins in a mother's affection for the father of her child. Without that, pity the child. With that, everything else can be straightened out. What heat is in the making of steel, affection is in the creation of children. Farmers will be interested to know that the Argentine Republic spends $5,000,000 for 39,000 tons of galvanized iron sheets to keep back devouring locusts. The sheets will be given to the farmers free and they will be compelled to put them up, digging a ditch where the locusts will accumulate and be destroyed. The United States Steel Products Company supplies the steel. Here we'd call free steel for farmers' socialism. The young Prince of Wales might have made a successful career on his own hook. He has tact, the keystone in the arch of success. Reporters wired from the ship that he had danced with a young St. Louis girl whom he had never met. When the news was sent back to the ship by wireless, the Prince requested an introduction to the young woman and danced with her twice. That reminds you of Abraham Lincoln's tactful treatment of a reporter who had written about Lincoln's life and the books he had read, few enough in number. Lincoln told him that one of the books he had never read, but, to make everything all right, he would read it, and he did. Labor is one cog in the machine of modern industry, the most important cog, although the machine doesn't admit it. Labor's destiny depends on labor, not benevolent speeches in political campaigns. When men know more they will have more. When they stick together as capitalists stick together, free of religion and race hatreds and prejudices, they will have power. Prosperity and power they must put for themselves; they will not PRIVATE SCHOOL for CHILDREN A private school for children under religious influence and competent instructors, Night Classes for Adults.
