MEXICAN CREDIT IS
BEST Of ALL
NATIONS
Monetary Commissions Re
port Shows Growing
Prosperity In q S.

Washington, D. c.. Sept 23.-That
the United States enjoys the best credit
of any nation appears in a comparison
of the prices of the government bonds
OF England, France, Germany, and the
United States during the last 80 years.
Such a comparison is one Of the fea-
lures in the extensive compilation of
tables showing many aspects of Amer
lean banking, just issued by the ma
tional monetary commission. One ia
bic. which reduces the prices of the va
rious bonds to the basis of a 3 percent
bond, shows that on this basis English
consols were selling in 1898 at 120.68
and our 5 percents of 190S-191S at
1881 By 1909, however, our percents
had come to sell at higher price than
the consols, bringing 101.75 as COM
pared with 100.52 for the consols

1t has been customary in the past for

purchase system and the draft and hold
on to them regardless Of how badly they
are needed, in the minor leagues. This

LOOSE MONEY BEING
BET ON BIG SCRAP

Battle.

New York, \. Y, Jan. 12-There must
be whole lot of loose money in the
sporting world after all. We haven't
seen any of it, but it must be just the
willing right now to tie up money
away up in the thousands on that JEFF
fries and Johnson fight, which is more
than six months Off
ClnclnnatianS have started the Dig

Jeffries 10 10 favorite. Henry Berry,
who is now in the City of the Rhine,
and who, when he IS home at Los An
geles, Cal, is referred to as the owner
OF the baseball club of that city, has
$4,000 he has no use for@for some time,
and is willing TO let it rest up as
bet against $4,000 that the white man
will be returned victor in that Fourth
of July scrap. To date he has found
no takers.
Out on the coast the ether day bet
of $500 to $500 on JeffrieS was recorded
but the bettOrS or the stakeholder was
not named because they do not care
about flirting with that anti-bettlnS
law which is now on the statute books IN
California. There have been many more

HEAVYWEIGHTS ARE
PLANNING TO TRAIN
Jeffrfes and Johnson Due to
Get Busy in Training
Camps.

New York, IAN. 12-With the
beginning of the new year both Jeffries
and johnson are mapping out long
training campaign which they expect
will fit them for the heavyweight cham
pionship battle wnen they meet in the
ring on July 4. In this respect the ne
gro tftleholder has taken the initiative
and has already outlined roughly how.
when and where he will do the. bulk
Of his conditioning
Jeffrles has not as yet made a def
mite statement relative to his training
plans. 1t is known that he anticipates
spending month or more in mountains
OF the far west previous to settling
down to. routine work. During this
back to nature" jaunt Jeffries will hunt
and fish and take long tramps through
the mountain wilds. 1T is during this
primitive session Of living that he hopes
TO lay the foundation for the more Cruel
ling work which win come when he es-
tablishes his permanent training quar-
tiers
The date for his excursion into the
wilds is not as yet definitely settled
upon, but will undoubtedly come within
a week or So The big negro has, how
ever, fixed a time when he will begin
the conditioning which he hopes will
result In settling once for all his IN
questionable right TO be classed as the
premier pugilist Of the world. He
has stated that he will close his
30 weeks theatrical tour during
which time he viii maintain a steady
routine of light training, on or about
April I. Immediately after his adieu to
the footlights he will return to his home
in Chicago. The house which he recent
iy purchased on Wabash avenue is al
ready being fitted up for the accommo-
dation of his retinue of trainers.

DENATURED GOLF
FOR AMERICANS
Courses Too Easy or Too
Hard Is Indictment of
the Game.

New York, n Y, Jan. 12.-Golf courses
with Americans usually either fail 10
come up to a high enough standard to
provide a real test of championship skill
or are made SO extremely difficult and
almost impossible as to be of no inter-
est except TO experts willing to pitch
their way between bottomless pits and
cribWork bunkers which seem as I'M
necessary as they are hideous TO look
upon.
The fact that the majority of courses
are too smooth and parKiike. all of
which has cost money to produce and
costs more to maintain, seems to lead
committees to listen to foolish advice
regarding trapping.
A few years ago they were advised
to put high cop bunkers to be carried
from the tee, and second cop bunkers
short of the green TO be pitched over on
the approach Thus equipped members
were informed that they had a golf
course, though it really more closely re-
sembled hurdle track than anything
else.
Under these conditions, so long as a
man could slug he could play with i'm
punity. The turf for yards around the
greens was kept closely cropped. and
any ball within reasonable distance of
Il could be rolled up with a putter just
as easily as if it had been accura tely
placed on the green.

ball made this hurdle jumping golf a
farce, for with the lively ball nearly

from every meeting of this kind and no

Pennsylvania in the east. There are
enough natural rivals TO go around, and
it is a standing reproach to college

ence is hard to say. The delegates usu-
ally meet with an olive branch in one
hand and an axe in the other.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Which do you really care the most
for, your mother and father. and
sisters and brothers. and wife or hus-
band, If you have either. or your
friends and business associates?
A ridiculous question, you say?
I'm not so sure.
First tell me if you live up to the
same standard of courtesy and kind
illness in the home as yon do outside
it, and 1 will tell you whether you
have a right to answer that way.
Several years ago certain news
paper offered a prize for the best de-
finitian of home.
There were several verv beautiful
ones, such as the ''The kingdom Of
happiness where mother is queen"
but the one that appealed to me the
most and that would have gotten the
prize had been the judge. was THE
place where you are treated the best
and act the worst"
1 don't believe you will find one per-
son in a thousand who won't agree
with me that we owe more In k1ndli-
ness and forbearance to our nearest
and dearest than to strangers
And yet l don't believe you'll find
many more than that who are court
eous and kindly at home as they are
in their business and social relations.
Many people with the most charm
ing manners outside the home slip
them off Just as quickly as they do
their outer wraps when they cross
their own thresholds
And yet think they'd be the quick
est to sneer at my first question as
absurd.
1 was talking about this state of at
fairs to a young girl the other day
and she said:
but. Miss Cameron. one can't be
sweet tempered and gracious all the
time any more than one can wear
ones best clothes every day"
Why not hold good temper and good
manners as your only instead of your
best gown? And when you feel that
you must go without them for awhile,
why not retire to the privacy of your
own room just as you would If you
were going to take off your frock?
Is that an impossibility?
I don't think so. if you make it a
habit tht you expect of yourself.
IF had my way there should
be but one kind of manners. and that
good" says a well-known writer on
such subjects, in recert magazine.

Bloomfield, N. J.. April 23.-The pu-

voted, by majority of 106, to abolish
fireworks, hrecrackers and other noise
makers on July T. Most of the girl
students voted for a sane Fourth and
their votes carried the day, although
there was a strong opposition among
the boys.

question of a noiseless Fourth of July
will not be taken until the subject has
been thoroughly discussed and gone
over from all points of view. All the
English classes in the high school will

similar debates are to be held in the
grammar schools. The vote will be
