Park, when Billy Leary and Charlie

meet in the main bout of ten rounds.
Both men are of the bruising. slam
bang style of fighters, and are bound
to give a smuggling exhibition of scrap

men are in good shape and will have
no excuse to offer on this score II de-
feated.
Last season at Rockaway Lawrence
defeated Leary, but tho former ella
stone boy claimed to have been out OF
shape. He appears to be in fine CON
dftlon for tonight's affair, however, and
is confident of winning.
Lawrence's fight with Ben Douglas
at the last stag of the club showed him
to be a classy man.
Talk of a beating does not seem to
bother Leary al all. Seen yesterday
after coming in from the road, he ex-
pressed his delight at being given the
chance to once more meet Lawrence.
A fine card of preliminaries Is to pre-
cede the main bout. AS the manage

AVIAToRS BELIEVE IN LUCK.
Willard Never Flies Without a Rab-
bits Foot Given Him BY
His Sister.

If anyone thinks that aviators do
not believe in luck or omenS. ht-
should go out To aviation field and
mingle with the birdmen awhile says
the Los Angeles Herald. These kings
of the air are college trained men.
Most of them have the pennants Of
Harvard. Yale. Cornell and other uni
versities Of the east hanging on the
walls Of their dens at home. They
are men who would scout supersti-
ton under ordinary conditions.
But flying. up 10 the present mo-
ment. is not ordinary. So this ac-
counts for the exception to the rub,
Some Of the birdmen participating in
the Los Angeles meet have queer lit
Tie beliefs i'm the matter of luck.
For instance. Charles Willard. who
recently flew from Los Angeles To
Pasadena. never goes in the air un-
less rabbits foot originally tied To
the end al his machine by his sister.
Miss Emily Willard. is securely at
tached To his craft
Willard says he would not feel safe
if he went into the air without the
rabbits foot on his machine. and con
sequently ne never goes up without
il. He says he is confident as long
as he keeps the rabbits foot in sight.
bad luck viii be held al safe dis

Walter Brookins has queer no
ton about things that Ia. feels sure
affect his flying luck. He regards il
as distinctly an evil omen To take a
second light on his cigar or cigarette.
That is. he will not let one person
light a cigar and hand the match tO
him. Nor will he let one person
hold a match for him while he starts
a smoke. To do this Brookins is con-
WINGED would bring bad flying luck.

see his pictures Thursday night were
disappointed owing 10 the crowded
condition Of the house. Manager

lecture Thursday speaks highly of it
as feature of entertainment and edu-
cation
The feature Of the new bin will be
the act of Reed * 60. Pooling the
Police" is the name of this act and
il is real sensation. The act is
based upon life i'm San Francisco and
is produced by Walter Reed. who has
the reputation of being the best Chi
nese character actor on the American
stage. The plot Of the play has To do
with the police. who are trying to
catch Chinaman selling opium. but
with the help of woman detective
the Chink fools them all Mr.. Reed
as Foo Ling is the best there is. A
great deal of special scenery is car
ried by the Reed company.

The powdermill explosion at Che

The powdermill explosion at Che
halls recently, in which eight girls
lost their lives, has awakened the
people to what may be expected OF
the workings of Gov. Hays pet
measure, the Workingmen's Com
pensatiOn Act. The benefciaries
of the unfortunate will come in for
anywhere from 81, 200 to $32, 900,
according to the rate of damages to
be determined. As each industry
pays into a separate fund, the
powdermills of the state will have
to make up this amount. There
are three of them in Washington.
At this time the powdermill fund
contains $500. 1t is expected that
the test case to be basel on the
Chehalis explosion will precipitate
bitter fight.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE

Recently the Court of Commerce
granted a temporary injunction
staying the order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission affecting
deep reduction in the thru freight
rates from points east to points be-
tween the Missouri River and the
Pacific Coast. The commission s
order readjusted the rates under
section 4 of the railroad act Of 1910,
known as the long and short haul
clause, and would have taken effect
on Wednesday. The temporary in
junction is not returnable until
January. The action of the Court
of Commerce revives the talk cur
rent when the court was first astab-
lished, and the opposition to it in
certain quarters, on the ground that
it is an indirect means for Gripping
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Already it is freely predicted
the abolition of the court will he
agitated in Congress this winter.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sioners have been angered by the
injunction, and an appeal to the
Supreme Court seems certain.

HORTICULTURE IN SCHOOLS

That every teacher in every fruit
growing district will either be obliged
to learn enough about packing apples
to teach it to the boys and girls sue
cessfully or give up the vocation of
pedagogue was the announcement
made recently by State Superinten-
dent Henry B. Dewey.
When I began talking horticul-
ture and agriculture in the schools
four years ago I was laughed at, :"
said Mr.. Dewey when discussing the
unique idea. when l say that
apple growing and apple packing
will be taught in every school in
every uit-growing district inside
of five years lam putting it mildly.
"Of course, it will be necessary
to teach the teachers first. They
will be obliged to get special work
at the agricultural colleges, or the
horticulture courses of the normals
must include such instruction. I
do not mean that apple culture
should be taught in each school in
the state, for in a wheat growing
district the children should be in
structed in successful grain growing
and the prevention of smut
In order to substantiate his as
sertions Mr.. Dewey cited that a
special school of apple packing had
been established at Hood River,
Ore, and that the Wenatchee
and North Yakima high schools
were devoting particular attention
to apple culture.
I do not think that it is the duty
of the commercial clubs to establish
the schools, as the subjects are so
intensely practical that the high
schools and d strict schools should
give such instruction." continued
Mr.. Dewey. THE course should in
clnde instruction in irrigation, graft
ing and budding, planting of trees,
and the study of pests az we'll as
