Form a Union,

London, July .27.-The horny-handed
sons of Fistiana in and about London
have gathered together for the purpose
of organizing union to be allied to the
other labor unions of the United King
dom. Just at present the highbrows OF
the gentle pastime are keeping aloof
from the project, no doubt believing that
association with the shilling-per-round
advocates of the union would have ten
dency to lower their social standing. But
the lads who have started the idea are
not to be deferred by any opposition from
their fellow professionals. and aver that
they will issue a revised Rooseveltian
dictum to the backsliders Their rejoin-
der to the elite of the boxing world is:
Get in or get out of the business"
The objects of the union, briefly stat
ed. are: To protect boxers from grating
promoters. to fix minimum scales of
wages according to classes which will
be regulated by the drawing power of
each boxer to bring about the recogni-
ton of boxing as an art. and not. as
some people think. a degrading pastime:
to treat all classes the same: and to act
as an employment bureau. Another fea-
ture of the idea is to insist upon COM
petent referees being engaged by all clubs
and promoters. The scheme is backed by
Boxing. the sprightly little weekly de-
voted exclusively to the interests of the
sport.

FOOTBALL NOTES.

The popularity of Rugby football has
been added to by the action of the
University of Southern California Law
School in unanimously deciding to play
the game as a substitute for the grid
iron style of football as played by the
colleges of the United States. The ac-
ton of the committee is not surprise
to the followers of football in the
southern part of the state. as it has
been rumored for some time that such
action would be taken. Pat and Tom
Higgins. two of the greatest Rugby
players in the United States. have
been secured to coach the team. assist
ed by Ernest Lewis. The decision to
play Rugby has not been the result of
friction with any other college in the
South. but it is the outcome of con-
sideration of the many phases in the
football situation. The law depart
ment of the University of. Southern
California has always had hand in
the football world in Southern Cali
fornia. and it is predicted that the
move will be attended with consider
able success.

turers patronIze extensively thess
means OF communication between the
markets and the isolated individual
customer. The rates by parcels-post
are cents for one pound or less, s
cents from one to two pounds, and 2
cents additional for each pound up to
eleven-the weight limit of parcels
The length of parcel allowed is three
feet six inches, and the greatest length
and girth combined is six feet. For
example, parcel measuring three feet
six inches in its longest dimension
may measure two feet six inches in
girth. Eggs, fish, meat, fruit, vege.
tables, glass, crockery, liquids, butter,
cheese, etc., may be transported by
parcels-post"
If we had the parcels-post in this
country the farmer could ship one or
five or ten pounds of butter, or a few
dozen eggs, or peck of potatoes, or
basket Of apples, to his individual
customer in the city, and avoid the
middleman. Fishermen in the north
of Scotland send fresh fish to the Lon.
don market this way. Also, If we had
the parcels-post system in this coun.
try, the express companies would
quickly reduce their rates and stor
paying 800 per cent dividends.

and each becomes brighter from con-

finest and keenest intelligences that
we have. The little town states Of
Greece created most Of the ancient civ.
ilization that is worth having, and
after they fell and the dark ages came
in it was the little city republics Of
Italy that brought light, learning and
mercy back to the world. Some of the
blacklist crimes are committed in the
country. Conan Doyle has Sherlock

There Are Four Reasons for Oppose

What is the answer? There isn't
any one answer; but the parcels post
is one of several answers, Golfers
says. Everybody Knows now the old
story. When John Wanamaker was
postmaster-general, some one asked
him why he didn't have parcels post
like every other civilized country? He
said there are four reasons: The first

the second is the American Express

once in while our consuls in Europe
write to our government telling how
the parcels post works in Europe. In
