PROVIDES NEW RULES
FOR QUAKER CITY RING
Director of Public Safety in Phila-
deIphia Seeks to Further
Safeguard Boxing Game

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.-Director
Of Public Safety Clay yesterday drew
up new set Of rules to govern boxing
contests here. The most important
change requires a physician to be
constantly at the ringside during bouts
to examine contestants whenever they
are knocked down and to inform the
referee as to their physical ability to
continue.
Another innovation provides that the
paddine on the floor shah extend three
feet beyond the ropes. No boy viii be
allowed to compete who is under 16
years old and "grudge" and champion
ship contests are forbidden. In the
lightweight class and under no one
will be permitted to meet an opponent
who is ten or more pounds heavier.

Good news from Philadelphia. The
director of public safety, along with
other rules that will serve to boost the
ring sport, has decreed that in and
under the lightweight class no two
boxers can meet whose disparity in
weight amounts to ten pounds or more.

SalterS Circuit Notes.
(Recc:vei too late for last week s iSsue).

Trio revival was begun week DeloTe
last by Rev S T Russell, pastor Of the
Baptist church, assisted a few days
by Rev w H Perry, and was con-
tinued by the latter last week at the
request Of the congregation. The
meeting closed Sunday night and re-
suited in five additions to the Meth
odist church. 1t looks as though the
meeting should have continued, as
some nights there were from II to
'25 to come forward for prayer.
Had it continued a few days longer
there would likely have been many
more additions to the church, as
there were at Taft the last few
nights there. More good meetings
are shorn of their best results by
stopping little too soon than are
injured by running too long.
The Taft meeting was run by the
pastor. Rev w H Perry, week and
a half and resulted in Is additions
to the church. The pastor was aided
two days and three nights the first
week of the meeting. He rendered
helpful service by earnest, forceful
preaching and effective altar work.
A fourishing Sunday-school and
PRAYER meeting have been started at
Taft as a result of the meeting, led
by Messrs E R Rowell, w D Bryan
and others. May they accomplish
much good.

Birds That Can Talk.

Professor Scott of Princeton says
that wild birds sometimes introduce
variations into their songs and, again,
more rarely, initiate not only the
songs of other birds, but the barking
of dogs, mechanical sounds like the
creaking of wheels, the filing of saw
and even human speech. A writer IN
Bird Lore gives this well authenticat-
ed incident:
One morning while l was standing
on my back steps l heard a cheerful
voice say:
you are a pretty bird Where are
you?"
| wondered how any parrot could
talk loudly enough to be heard at that
distance, for the houses on the street
behind us are not near. Presently the
voice came again, clear, musical and
strong
"You are pretty bird. Where are
you?"
For several days I endured the sus-
pense of waiting for time to investi-
gate. Then l chased him up. There
he was in the top of walnut tree,
and his gorgeous attire told me 1mme-
diately he was a rose breasted gros-
beak.
At the end of week he was saying,
pretty, pretty bird. Where are you?"
He and his mate stayed near us all
last summer, and this spring they
came again. He is making the same
remark as plainly as ever bird can
