THINKS BOXING NOT FOR GIRLS.
Chicago journal Opposes Innovation
That Has Been Urged.

A womans club has decided that
girls must learn to box. and the men
are still guessing whether the motion
Is intended to keep them unaggressiye
or as a beauty measure for the girls
Young women have gone in for all
sorts of hard exercising. They are
should go easy on boxing They are
built differently from men, an Had
vised blow may give rise to dangerous
and lifelong ills
Fencing for girls has everything to
recommend it,; boxing is more than
open to question. There are few oc-
casions when a girl has need to use
her fists in self-defense, and there
seems a lack OF refinement in training
them to a brutal art, that carries with
it few advantages in grace, suppleness
or physical health.
1t Is more than doubtful If the fair
boxers would stick to the rules of the
ring. A foul or an undercut would not
be taken graciously, it Is to be feared.
Think of the row if gloves should be
DOTTED In a moment OF excitement and
woman's natural weapons - tongue
flashing and hair-pulling- substituted.
It is to be hoped that boxing for
women will die an early death. II is

BIBLICAL REFERENCES TO COAL.
Proof That Its Use Was Known in
Time Of King Solomon.

The first mention of coal in the an
mails of mankind occurs in the Bible,
Proverbs 26:2l, and is as follows: AS
Goals are to burning Goals and wood to
fire, so is a contentious man to kudle
strife This was written about 1915
B. c., at the time King solomon came
into power. Part OF bis domain was
syria, and ancient coal mines are
worked in that country today. There
are several other references to coal
in the Blble, all of a later date. Tools
and cinders have been found near the
Roman wall, indicating that the Brit
ons We're familiar with the use of coal
prior to the Roman invasion in 81 b. c.
The first actual record of a coal
transaction is the receipt OF Y cart
loads Of coal written by the good alb
bot OF Petersborough, A. d. S52.
Years before the Christian era coal
was in common use in China. Anth. a
cite coal is powdered, mixed with wet
clay and rolled into balls. These are
dried in the sun and the poor use this
fuel in little, hand furnaces precisely
as they did centuries ago. Marco
Polo SPEAKS of seeing, IN 1910, "a kind
Of BLACK stone in Cathay that is used
to burn better than wood! Marco
Polo's countrymen refused to believe
the trayeiers tale.
The earliest historical mention of
coal in the United States is by the
French Jesuit missionary father, Hen
nepin, who, in his journal in 1879,
speaks OF traces Of coal appearing on
the banks OF the Illinois river. and
makes the site OF a Cole mine on the
James river, near Richmond, the first
mine opened for the market In 1866
