If there is futtering or palpi-

weakness of the nerves and mus

weak just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs. You

haitians a Lazy Lot.

Sydney Brooks, writing TO the Lon

says OF Haiti: In that little republic,
covering about 10000 square miles
within five days sail of New York. one
may encounter more strange complica-

College Course in Politics.

To Columbia university belongs the
credit of offering the first course de-
signed TO give students practical
knowledge of the conduct of political
affairs That institution has asked
the bureau of municipal research in
New York to give the members of the
class the benefit of the experience it
has derived from the study of the af'
fairs of that city, and the invitation
has been accepted. The growing de-
mand for the adoption Of the scien-
tific methods Of city governments
lends support to the view that college
men will be in demand in this de-
partment of the public service, hence
the propriety and usefulness of uni
versity course established on the lines

HOT MILLING ON
FRIDAY PROGRAM
YOUNGSTERS WILL REPLENlSH
EMPTY CUPBOARD
Fans Will Be Given Taste of Snappy
Fighting on Part of Pork and
Beans Brigade at the
Maud Arena
BY A. Il. DUNNING

Youngsters who find the cupboard
somewhat scantily trimmed with the
necessities of life will be given an OPP
portunity to earn the contents of a
full dinner pail tomorrow night at the
Maud Junction Palace of Punching,
when the Pacific Athletic club will
stage a renewal of it's short bout, fea-
tureless progress, in which snappy
mixing between willing youngsters Is
the chief characteristic of note. That
the fans will see plenty of hot milling
seems assured from the manner IN
which Handicapped Hancock has listed
the boys, and whatever the card lacks
in class and reputation, it probably
will make up in smuggling.
There have been times within MEM
DRY when the patrons of the game
have squeezed into the crowded street
cars, tramped to the arena, anu sae
the evening through to witness the
main eventers placed in the back
ground by the sturdy work of the pre-
lin. lads Some of the boys who made
the headliners look like loafers are
down on. the bill arranged for this
week, and therefore plenty of action
is the keynote of the program.
Thirty-six rounds is the sum total of
the fighting, and unless one or more
of the bouts ends in a knockout, the
followers of the game will see more
than the usual number of three-minute
mixups. Johnny Hugo and frankie
Sullivan are slated for the final six
rounder Sullivan has been slowing
away his punch for retrieval since
his defeat at the hands of Martin
Heron, and he is prepared to have it
oiled UP and in first-class working
order tomorrow evening. These boys
will weigh in at 124 pounds at
o'clock If Herb White and Kid Barnes
forget they have a face to cover up
and swing into a little real fighting
they will give the fans treat in the
smuggling line.
The match between these two was
made with the distinct understanding
that the lads chop out of their MEM
DRY these convenient stalling tactics,
and so "cover up must be slashed out
of their vocabulary for the time being.
All the boys have been carefully
watched and have been training care
fully Today they wind up their eff
forts. The four-rounders promise to
set fast pace, lack of science being
displaced by speed and haymaking
milling. AS whole the card should
be attractive to those who like to see
the little ones dance to the McCaIey
tune.

SWIMMING IS TAKEN
UP BY HIGH SCHOOLS
New Department Is Added to Athletic
Activities of Several Institu-
lions in Southern CALI

Another department of athletics is
to become an important feature of
high school student body activities,
namely, swimming The students have
taken up this idea with zest, and with
encouragement from the authorities
are hard at work getting the new
activity under way.
Reused to action in this line by SINH
lar activities in Polytechnic, Los An
geles high and Santa Monica high
schools have brought the seaside sport
to the front.
There are several students who can
do we'll in the so, 100 and 220 yard
dashes.
The Bimini bath house manager has
offered the Los Angeles swimmers a
15-cent rate to those connected with
the Southern California Swimming as
ISOLATION, and it is expected that sew
eral hundred students of the various
Los Angeles high schools will make
application to the management for the
same rate. Now that the Los Angeles
high school has challenged both Poly
and Harvard to a swimming match,
there is a possibility that in the course
of a few weeks the Long Beach team
will take up the challenge. Frank
Famous has consented to act as
coach of the Long Beach team.
