BOXING CONTEST
For Kiddies' Camp Benefit
Being Arranged For
February 17
Jack Scheaf, chairman of the gen
eral committee in charge to arrange
for a boxing contest for the benefit
of the kiddies' camp fund, reports
that committee getting busy. Sev
eral meetings have been held and the
program is gradually rounding out.
The contest will be staged at the Jef
ferson theatre, Tuesday evening,
February 17.
A hot card is being arranged. For
the feature bout indications now
point to this being between Benny
Soloff, of Memphis, Tenn., and Jim
mie Dell, of Louisville, Ky. Boy, if
these two live wires of the ring are
brought together local lovers of the
roped arena sport are in for some
fine entertainment. The tentative
program includes such good men as
Gene Larue, the "Canadian Tramp,
Willie Sullivan, Cincinnati "Irish"
Lou Henenberry, Covington, Ky.
Carl Meder, Hamilton, and others
The complete program will be an
nounced in a few days.
The real reason for the show this
year is to clean oft', if possbile, a debt
t.f $2,000 remaining- on the camp. It
is mit enerally known that the value
of the buildings ami equipment of the
camp are estimated at as between
*12,000 and $ir».000. Of this amount
only about $2,500, actual cash, clear
ed on the benefit boxing show last
winter, has been put into the project,
and with the exception of the $2,000
debt .remaining, all other expense has
been borne by contributions of much
of the materials, and all labor was
contributed by organized labor and
a few contractors.
The kiddies' camp is certainly a
wonderful example of the great
amount of good that can be done for
the needy when a few right-hearted
men and women get together and de
cide they are going to do a thing.
Those in charge and who are look
ing after the welfare of the camp are
anxious that the returns from this
year's benefit show will clean up the
outstanding debt, and more, and they
ask that the public aid them in this
by boosting the show and attending
TO WAR ON MAIL
ORDERS
New York.—A war on mail order
concerns and house-to-house canvas
sers has been launched by the Na
tional Retail Dry Goods Association.
The hardware trade is organizing for
a battle against two large brush con
cerns and several electric appliance
manufacturers.
House-to-house sales of hosiery
knit goods and toilet articles affect
department stores, it is said.
Advice for Poets
To the poet, as to every other, we
say first of all, "See." If you cannot
do that, it Is of no use to keep string
lng rhymes together, jingling sensi
bilities against each other, and name
yourself a poet there is no hope for
you. If you can, there is, in prose
or verse, in action or speculation, all
manner of hope.—Carlyle in "Heroes
and Hero Worship."
Sperm Whale Valuable
The most valuable catch that can be
made In salt water Is a sperm whale.
A very large specimen taken off the
west coast of Vancouver island was
found to contain 250 pounds of am
berjjrls. This alone brought $150,000,
while the blubber and spermaceti were
worth another $3,500.
English Idea of Murder
The generally accepted definition of
murder in English law is that of Coke:
When a person of sound memory and
discretion unlawfully killeth any rea
sonable creature in being and under
the klng'i peace with malice afore
thought, either expressed or implied
Original Tattooed Men
It is impossible to y when and
where the custom of tattooing begun
but It is of ancient origin. In the
tombs near Thebes were found painted
representations of white men with
tattooed bodies, and In his coraraen
taries Caesar write® of Britons being
tattooed.
Great ArtiGenius
Curiosity and the desire of beauty 1
They are the two elementary forces
in Leonardo's ?enlus curiosity often
In conflict with the desire of beauty,
but generating, In union with it, a
type of subtle and curious grace.—
Walter Pater.
Tarring Once Legal Penalty
Tarring and feathering was once a
legal punishment, it was introduced
into England by Richard I. who, be
fore setting out on the Third crusade,
in 1189, established this penalty to
discourage robbery among his men.
American industries
In the United States there are 300,
000 manufacturing plants, which sup
ply the needs and comfort of the
people of this country and other parts
of the world. They use $400,000,000
worth of materials yearly.
Life Without Friendship
It is like taking the sun out of the
world to bereave human life of friend
ship, than which the immortal god*
have given man nothing better, noth
ing more gladdening.—Cicero.

UNITE TEXTILE WORKERS
Lawrence, Mass.—Working condi
tions in the textile industry are de
plorable, declared Thomas McMahon,
president of the United Textile Work
ers, on arriving in this city to inaug
urate an organizing campaign. The
union executive said workers today
aie retiring less for the amount of
their product they produce than they
did in 1914.
September's Many Names
September falls within the zodiacal
sign of Libra, the balance, or scales.
September gets its name from the
Latin numeral septem, because the
month was the seventh of the ancient
Itoman calendar, which had but ten
months. In the days of Charlemagne
the French called the season the harv
est month. Among the early Saxons
was known as barley month. The
American Indians called it "Moon of
'ailing Leaves."
Arsenal Unearthed
Twenty-two rusting and rotting
muzzle-loading muskets and several
copper sabers were unearthed In a
sandstone cave on a small island ten
miles from the mainland by Emerson
Wray, a blue fox farmer. The weap

by a landing party of Kussians whr
acted as hijackers against enlers jj.

Wonderful P'ece of Work
Scarcely as big as a tooth, the tini

recently to the United States. It took
Infinite patience and skill at the
hands »f a Chinese workman who la
bored many months to complete the
curiosity. It Is complete in every de
tall and carved from a minute piece of
vory, small enough to fit on the tip of
a pencil.—Popular Science Monthly.
"Carillon" and "Chime"
The word "carillon" should be used
to indicate the musical Instrument
consisting of about three or four chro
matic octaves of perfectly attuned
bells, played by both bands and both
feet by means of a keyboard and
pedal board. A chime is made up of
from four to sixteen substantially
diatonic bells.
Amazon Valley Is Greatest
Although the Mississippi valley is
quite often spoken of as the largest
valley drained by a river, its area lc
scarcely more than half as large a^
the valley drained by the Amazon
river. The Mississippi river valley
embraces 1,244,600 square miles, while
that of the Amazon ranges over 2,330,
000 square miles.
Hold to Things of Beauty
"A farm woman's prayer" reads:
"Keep ever In my soul a sense of the
perspective, that my kettles and dish
cloth may not obscure the beauty of
the rose blooming outside my door, the
quiver of the leaves in the summer
wind and the classic purity of the
snow on the valley or hill."
"Mother Goose"
It Is not known lor certain that
Mother Goose was a real character.
It Is supposed that possibly the name
is derived from Queen Goosefoot, or
Berthe au Grand Pled, mother of
Charlemagne. The queen was a spe
cial patron for children.
Populous Ants' Nests
Lord Avehury once estimated that
a single ant's nest might contain as
many as 400,000 individual insects.
Itecent researches have shown that
these figures were too nigh yet the
actual facts are astonishing enough.
Of Historic Interest
An old California homestead recent
ly yielded up Interesting relics which
had been walled up in a partition.
They included an American flag with
38 stars, and several school readers
of 1811.
Only One Right Course
Rightness expresses of action what

REAL WAGES
Higher Than Ever Before,
Says Hoover
By International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.—The wages
prosperity of labor at the end of
1924 is gratifying, according to a
statement by Secretary of Commerce
Hoover on the economic prospects of
the new year.
"The average wage in industry has
been stable during the last year," de
clares Secretary Hoover, "and re
mains around 100 per cent above pre
war, while the cost of living has
maintained almost exactly the same
level at the end of each of the last
three years, 1922, 1923 and 1924,
about 72 per cent over pre-war.
"Our labor, therefore, continues to
enjoy the highest real wage in its
history.
"There was some unemployment in
the middle of the year, but it has now
been largely overcome."
