(By United Press.)

SAN FRANCISCO, July
7.-Close friends of Jeffries
are urging the big fellow to-
day to undergo an eXamina-
ton by specialists. They
are fearful that the mental
strain under which Jeffries
passed before and after his
battle with Jack johnson
may result in a serious ner-
vous breakdown.
Roger Cornell, the trainer, who
witnessed the nervous collapse OF
Jeffries just before the fight, has
grave apprehensions for the wei
fare of the defeated man.

his friend, Dick Adams, at Oak

NEW YORK, July Joe Wood

day posted $4,000 to bind match
with Jack Johnson. Heretofore
Woodman has posted only $4,000

present challenge, as he has an

Langford has been trailing John

A silk dress is a mighty neat
and dressy costume. But silk
is also rather eXpensive-us-

to be rather out of the reach of
most of us. But an advertiser
in the Press today tells of
lucky purchase of silk dresses
which will enable her to sell
them at half ordinary prices
$40 Silk Dresses at $40
$25 Silk Dresses at $3.50.
