Women DO Not sleep Enough.
The thing that makes many of our

All the twentieth century women-the

of this age leaves little time for repose
even for the lady OF leisure. That
term is mere nothing, for there Is
truly no leisure class in this country
Everyone is so busy that the demands
of nature go unheeded.
But despite the fact that sleep is the

Jack O'Brien, who Is an astute OBJ

marked one night last week in Phlla-
delphia; There ought 10 be a new class
made up Of fighters between 1853 and

heavy to become middlewelght cham
plons and too light to become heavy
weight champions. No matter what
their skill and courage, they are de-
prived Of the hope that should be the
goal OF every boxers ambition"
O'Brien has the right idea. He puts
into concrete form a sentiment which
has been gradually gaining ground
among the followers OF the boxing
game. Within the limit he sets. 1853 to

than in any other OF the pugilistic di-

virtually impossible. While stlll able
