The Decay of Manners.

Writing in Harper's Weekly H. B
Marriott Watson descants upon the
decline of manners in England and
America. "On the whole, it is impos
sible to deny better manners to the
American" he writes. THE est
quette of the sexes is certainly loos.
er in America. Our grandmothers
would be shocked to see what breach
es have been made in the necessary
Notifications between the sexes. Once
upon a time young manhood stood
bareheaded in the rain or bowed tc
the waist when it encountered young
womanhOod; now a nod is as good as
a wink or a mere perfunctory clutch
at the hat 1t is all a matter of con
vention, of course, but do you like
it?"

cannht the Rlunest sunfish.

D. H. Buxton of Cedar Rapids, 9
visitor here, has the record of hook,
ing the largest sunfish ever seen il
southern California waters.
He got his strike about seven miles
off shore at two o'clock, and being
unable to do anything with the mon.
ster tied his line and two others that
had large gaffs sunk deep into the
fish to the boat and started for shore.
1t took two hours and half to gel
the fish to the dock, where no means
could be found for raising 1t out OF
the water. Experts say that the fish
weighed between 1900 and 1,S0G
pounds. 1t probably will be cut loose
and allowed to neutrality-suspicious.

AID W0LGAST WINS
FROM OWEN MORAN
British PugIIist WorE Down by Close
Fighting-Bout Ends in
Thirteenth.

San Francisco. The measured
swing OF Referee Welsh's arm. toll
ing on the fatal ten seconds over
the writhing and unconscious body OF
owen Moran of England, brought VIC
tory to AID Wolgast in the thirteenth
round of the international battle for
the lightweight championship. 1t
was q clean knockout, and the de-
cisive victory was clearly earned by
the rugged strength and terrific pun
ishing power OF the champion.
1t was palpable from the moment
they hooked UP IN the frst maulins
match at close quarters that WolEast
was the more rugged Of the pair. he
may have been tired once or twice
during the contest, owing TO inc
gruelling pace, but there was doubt
about 1t, whereas there was never an
atom Of doubt as to the way things
were going with Moran.
He looked distressed during each
resting spell after the 18th round
while across the ring Walgast, snap
py-eyed and nimble, was chatting TO
friends in soucd OF his voice.
Wolgast simply wore Moran down

work with a punch which is known
to the fighting men as loop the

curis around entangled arms ana

punch with such force that Moran 8

from his nose and mouth. Wnen
Wolgast was not working the loop

body with forceful rights. 1t seemed
that the closer they got the harder
were Wolgast's punches.
Moran caught Wolgast quite a mum
of swapping right-handers In between
clinches and punched him with
straight let's. While Wolgast was
working the loop the loop" Moran
used left uppercut and did fair
amount of damage with it But
neither in infighting or outfighting did
Moran's blows carry 1.-THE Of
the Furnishing force that did Wolgast's,
and there was not real chance for
those who backed Moran to chortle
at any time during the fight.
Wolgast went after Moran with
blood in his eye in the thirteenth
round. A couple of well-placed right
uppercuts failed to stop Wolgast. who

along the ropes. His guard was de-
moralized with right body punches,

NATURAL CARE OF CHILDREN
Writer Points Out Methods That Go
Far Beyond All Merely Theo-
retical Points.

The care of children is not properly
subject to theory, but to a considera-
ton OF conditions. Childhood is the
season of Impressions, of plastic sub
mission to these, of backward-look-
Ing and waiting, as youth is the sea-
son of forward-looking impulses Ma
ture has made this distinction. and If
in childhood she makes preparation
for the blossoming of youth, her pro-
cesses are hidden. We are advancing
no theory, but only recognizing this
distinction of terms, when we plead
for the child's free and full Indulgence
of the backward regard. 1t is ours to
help him to his natural birthright, to
lead him into the field of the past,
with some sense of what calls him
thither-a sense which determines
the contacts we give him--and there
we leave him free to derive his own
Impressions from the scene, the per
sons-an that makes the play. We
burden him with no technicalit1es,
which he no more needs than when
be is brought into contact with nat
ural objects; and we refrain from
distracting him by Interior meanings
or analytical interpretations, which he
may himself seek later.
The past is not cherished simply
because it is past. In the lines of cut
ture the dust of antiquity has been
most diligently sifted for its hidden
wealth, and this wealth is not that OF
the market place, but of the clearing
house of the imagination.-H. M. Al
den, In Harper's Magazine.

THE STAGE
DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.

The first OF a series OF illustrated
travel talks by r.. NJ. Newman was
given In the Detroit opera house, sun
day evening. the subject being "Tyrol,
the flower garden OF Europe. The
talk was based on series OF beautl-
ful colored pictures taken by Mr.. New
man with an occasional motion picture
when the scene required IL. The pic
lures gave an excellent idea OF the
life of the Tyrolean peasants,
The journey. which was actually tax
en- in an automobile, starts in Ober-
ammergau and several pictures OF the
scenes in that quaint old 3avarian
village and of characters in the fam
Gus passion play were shown. Then
the tour went into less familiar parts
of the Tyrol. parts which are not
OF en- visited by the American tourists.
One of the most interesting pictures
was the motion picture taken from a
c. along the StuDai Valley and as
cending the mountain.
The s cond half showed Southern
Tyrol. One motion picture showed n
Panorama OF the shores of Lake Gar
ia. Will its islands. ancient and mod

ed the Dolomite mountains and the
quaint peasants that live in the Sc

One of the most remarkable pic.
lures ever shown was that of the as
cent OF the first of the Drei Zinnen
peaks in the Dolomite range. an almost
perpendicular surface. 1t was accom-
plished for the first time for Mr.. lew
Ems party by three Alpine guides,
al the difficulties and dangers OF the
ascent are graphically shown in Mr..
Newman's motion picture
Mr. Newman is a pleasing lecturer
and his story of the journey through
the Tyrol is told in entertaining style.
The lecture on the Austrian Tyrol is
the first of series OF fl travel talks
TO be given on successive Sunday
e. cnings. The subject for next Sun.
day will be The Balkan states, new
