ONLY ONE BIG EVENT
In Boxing World This Week, and That
Is Not Regarded Seriously.

The Cans Mcmsic fight at Los An
selcs, Friday night, is the big feature
of the current weeks schedule, al
though few appear to take the affair
seriously. McmSic, if right, is a much
better boy than he is given credit for
being, hut the fact that his identity
is mixed through the use of the name
of Jimmy Burns" causes many to lose
sight of his really good ring work.
Whether he is good enough for such an
artist as Cans remains to be seen.
Nearer at home the fans are showing
interest in the contest between Belfield
Walcott and "Sandy"' Williams, who
comes from Kansas City, where he
earned n splendid reputation for all
round work.
Benny Yanger appears to be doomed
to another defeat when he lines up
against the speedy Packie Mcfarland
at Fort Wayne, Ind, tonight.
TIL" bouts cartlod for Philadelphia
and New York clubs are composed of
mediocre talent.

POOR ROADS IN TEXAS.
Lone Star State is Not a Paradise for
the Autom obiIist.

Texas, the largest state in the Union,
has 121, 400 miles of public roads. OF
this enormous mileage, however. only
FPS miles are improyed-1,9O 900 miles be-
ing surfaced with gravel, 1871 miles
with stone and So miles with shells. 1t
will be seen from these figures that
only IL per cent Of the roads has been
improved. BY comparing tine total
mileage with the area of the state. it
appears that there is about O.46 OF a
mile of public road per square mile of
area, while a comparison of mileage
with population shows that there is
one mile of road to every 25 inhabi-
tants and one mile of improved road
to every 1892 inhabitants.

SUN AND SNOW
Sometimes Help the Hair to Go.

In any changeable climate the hair
is apt to become brittle and to break
off stubby here and there. This
makes a hair-dressing almost a ne
cessity, especially to ladies. In using
Ia hair dressing why not get the best,
one that combines with it the efficien-
cy in killing the dandruff germ, the
germ that eats the hair off at the
roots, causing what is called falling
hair, and in time badness. New
bros "Herpicide" is that kind of a
hair dressing. You have no idea how
delightful your scalp will feel and
how stylish your hair will appear, af-
ter an application or two of Herpi-
eide. 1t is certainly wonderful in
novation as scalp antiseptic and
hair-dressing. Sold by leading drug
gists. Two sizes, soc and 81. Send
10c. in stamps for sample to the Her
picide Co., Detroit, Mich.
