The efforts or some or the American

longer bouts in hat city and demand
them again. Their are several good

Jimmy Coffroth seems to be popular
as the promoter of big events, but
they all want longer bouts. | did not
stop at Los Angeles and cannot give
any opinion regarding it,, but from
what l heard Tom McCarey is giving
the fans there great sport and of the
right kind.
This man job, who referees in New
York, is my ideal of a referee. He
knows his business thoroughly and
handles the men to perfection. He
knows when to stop a bout and his
judgment is excellent. He keeps the
men going all the while and never
permits them to remain in a clinch
and hug one another in order to rest
up. Billy Gibson, the manager of the
Garden City club, in New York, is an
other thorough boxing man and is a
credit to the game. Such men will
make a success of the game in New
York or any other city"
Continuing Mr.. Kelly shifted to some
of the p~resent-day stars here. After
reading so much about Mike Gibbons
and Knockout Brown" said Kelly, Il
was anxious to see them in action.
When l saw Gibbons box Tommy Ma
loney in New York l was greatly dis
appointed and want to say right here
that if he ever boxes that way when
he faces Jimmy Clabby the latter will
beat him to a certainty"

if it is necessary to report six or even

Benefit of Dentistry.
st. Louis Post Dispatch: Cleveland,
o.. has started something" which st.
Louis cannot afford to ignore, namely
the education of the public as to the
vital necessity of insuring tn the
school children sound teeth, as q
basis of good health and the best
POSSIBLE aid to efficiency as pupils.
In order to test the value of sound
teeth for the school children, 2O,S90
pupils were examined by competent
dentists. Out of this number, 81
per cent were found to have
faulty or diseased teeth. Following
children. selected as having the wo1ss
dental defects, was thoroughly treated
for SUCH defects. Every child's mouth
was put i'll good order, and during the
course of the investigation no child
was permitted to neglect his or her
mouth. The toothbrush followed the
dental work. so that oral hygiene was
thoroughly maintained. ,
AS a result, mental and physical
tests gave an average increase in I
efficiency in school work, as to this
class of children, of 99.S per cent.
And now Cleveland is heartily in
favor of the thorough care or the
mouths of all the school children. The
fact that good teeth good schol-
ars has been established. A free dental
clinic is the next step towards insur-
ing universal oral hygiene.
st. Louis must care for the chill
dren's teeth, as a public need, in the
interests of health and education.
Nothing but a free clinic, adequately
supported from the public funds, will
meet the demand.
