Boxing Fad for Women.
from the New York Telegram.

From the New York Telegram.
Possibly the campaign for suffrage for
women Is being managed with more
subtlety in Germany than 1t is in Eng
land That suggestion 10 offered In view
of the progress which is being made in
certain schools in Germany, particularly
in Berlin, in the instruction of women In
boxing
No effort is being made to develop ath-
letes who shall be able to circle the globe
and win championships. but the intention
is to impart to women who are interested
some knowledge Of the art of self-de-
Tense.
Instructors say that the women show
not a little cleverness in adapting them
selves to the use of boxing gloves. though
they are rather loath to hit freely. fear
ing that too hard a blow may mar some
feature of an opponents face.
Occasionally there are women in the
United States who are clever in the use
of the boxing gloves and are not afraid
to don them against their big brothers
now and then. but 1t Is not recorded that
there are regular schools where boxing
is taught to women.

New Zealand Flax.
From Cassier's Magazine

From easier Mdso<ihe-
One of New Zealand's distinctive crops
deserves special mention. This Is the
rope-fiber generally known as New Tea
land fax, the scientific name being Phor-
MUM tenax. 1t grows wild over most OF
the swamp lands of the Dominion, and
till recently was simply cut from these
natural growths. and no attempt was
made to farm it. Lately. however. this
has been done, and the government Is
making a systematic investigation into
the cultivation Of the plant. AS mate
rial for rope and Irvine the fiber is well
known, but it has also been made into
paper Japan imports quantities of ii.
and there it has been made into imitation
silk and lace. The treatment of the raw
material. however, is yet in Its infancy.
and improved methods OF growing and
cleaning will much enhance the value OF
the industry in years to come. AT the
present time nearly million pounds
worth Of fiber Is exported per year from a
total of about 80 mills.

The wish is being strongly expressed in
radical quarters here that Mr. Herbert
Gladstone will not accept peerage when
he goes to South Africa as the first gov
ernor general under the union. The
present constitutional struggle is regard
I'd by many radicals as an excellent OPP
portunity for getting rid of the unwritten
rule which prescribes that our leading
pro-consuls must be peers. The raising
Of the question at this juncture in the
case OF the retireing home secretary has
special significance, for II Mr. Asquith
obtains majority at the polls he will
have within a few months to appoint
successors to Lord Grey as governor
general of Canada and Lord Mimic as
Viceroy of India.
1t is assumed in well informed circles
here that Lord Penrland, the present
secretary of Scotland, will succeed the
former, and so little was the present
movement in favor of commoner pFo-con-
suls thought of a year ago that the for
mer was given peerage. II Is understood,
mainly 10 qualify him for the Canadian
office. But a new Indian appointment
will soon have to be made, and as the
prime minister would find some difficulty
in selecting satisfactory viceroy from
among his supporters in the lords, he
will look very closely into the question

The work of the army board which Is
revising the infantry drill regulations is
progressing, but it is thought that 1t will
be at least eighteen months before any
new regulations will be issued to the
army and National Guard generally. II Is
| intended by the War Department to fur
nish the proposed revised regulations TO
one or more Infantry regiments for at
least six months. The board will make
observations of the practical results in
these regiments and will then continue its
work along the lines that these results
will suggest.

War Department has issued the follow

or not the allowance of tools and equip

 The report of the finance committee, presented by Ben M. Jacobs, chairman, ordered paid.
 M J. Side was elected as mechanical engineer to supervise the construction and maintenance of the heating and ven tilatng plants of the schools. Hereafter all the heating plants of the schools will be in accordance with his plans. The election of this expert engineer has become a necessity on account of the magnitude of the work involved in the schools of the Greater Birmingham.
 The plans for the new school building to be erected at East Birmingham were submitted by Architect D. o. Whlldin and after revision, were adopted by the board subject to the approval of the building inspector and the mechanical en- gineer.

BIG LOT OF BEER
 TAKEN BY POLICE

One of the largest "hauls' made Tor many months in the blind tiger branch of the police department was made last night when officers Jones and MeDuff arrested man by the name of Jim Watkins for violation of the prohibition law and found 24 barrels of beer in his possession.
 It was claimed that the detectives knew that watkins was about to receive a shipment of fire water" and they kept a close watch for developments. The beer arrived all o. K. and the officers per mitted the man to pay the freight and unload his goods into his storehouse. Then they paid him social visit and asked him to accompany them to the city jail.
 The beer was billed to man by the name of D. II. Markstein, Birmingham, Ala, and was shipped over the Louis vile and Nashville railroad. The man arrested gave his name as Watkins, how ever, and gave bond for $500. Each bar rel contained 10 dozen bottles of elixir.

operation of the directors and the execu- tive committee there is no reason why we should not put this fair on paying basis, and come out with money in the treasury
 George D. Reynolds was elected vice president, and Bertram Jacobs treasurer. The executive committee will be ap- pointed later.
 The stockholders met and unanimously agreed that the fair should be put on. The same directors as compose the board of the Business Mems league were then elected as follows:
 Robert II. Baugh, Colnlan Blaeh, George A. Blinn, J. Burger R. D. Burnett, Sol Caheen, J. D. Collins ". T. Cox, Eugene Fies, A. II. Ford, Bertram Jacobs, A. w. B. Johnson. Abe Kaufman, Y. Hugo Marx, G. B. McVay, John w. o'Neill, l.. plzitz. IT. J. Porter, Herman Saks, C. w. Uftord, George D. Reynolds.
 The fair will in all probability be E.ld October 6-15. This will give two Frl- days and two Saturdays. It will also give the amusemnt and concession people from Saturday night, when the Memphis fair closes, until Thursday night, to get their apparatus and material into place. This will insure the fair against a late start, as everything will be in place and the first day should be as good as the last.
 The southern fair circuit will meet in Nashville on February 2S, when the dates will be definitely set.
 At the meeting of the Business Mems league directors, which was held prior to the Fair association, the report of the advertising committee, which provides for general advertisement in newspapers and on billboards throughout the state, was unanimously adopted.
 It will be seen that the same men who are running the Business Mems leagu are behind the fair. It is proposed to put all the life and vim which has made the easue's work so effective, into the prep arations and management of the fair.

cipal of the Paul Hayne school, and at the time of his death principal of the Birmingham High school, Superintendent Phillips suggested to the board the pro- priety of giving this school the name of JaB. Cunningham. Dr. Phillips paid a loving tribute to his former co-worker in the schools of the city, and his suggestion The Cunningham school when completed will be one of the handsomest and most commodious schools in the city.
 The revised plans for the handsome addition to the Barker school corner of Twenty-third street and Thirteenth ave- nue, north, were adopted, subject to the approval of the building inspector, and Architect Helmich was authorized to advertise for bids for construction at once.
 Both of the new buildings are to be completed by September 1, 1910. Both buildings will be heated by modern steam heating apparatus.
 The plans for the new elementary school in process of construction at Pratt City were discussed at length. and it was de- cided to complete the building as planned but to refer the heating plans to the mechanical engineer for revision.
 The plans for the heating of the new Ensley High school were also referred to the engineer.
 After the transaction of much business of a routine nature the board adjourned.
