that the increase over January was
Is SO per cent. Considering the fewer
number of days in January, the in

Congressman David j. Lewis, OF
Maryland, the father of parcel post re-
Gently said that he intended to urge
three important changes in the parcel
post system next year.
First-He wants the rates reduced,

and farm produce from the farms tc

Second-He wants the weight limit
raised from IL pounds.
Third-He desires the classification

Mr.. Lewis contends that the parce

rates are reduced. He said his stud,

The Poison In Poison ivy.

Poison ivy has long been a mystery
both to scientists and laymen. Why
and in what manner it causes the Pc
cuhar rash and irritating Inflammation
have puzzled both botaDists and ply
sicians. But DR.. Minande or Paris
says his study OF the plant shows that
poison ivy contains prussie acid. This
Is found principally In the young leaves
and buds. In older leaves there is very
little Of il.
In three and one. half ounces Of young
leaves there is about quarter Of a
grain OF the acid.
AS with other plants in which prus-
sic acid is found, the poisonous sub
stance does not exist in its perfect
form, but develops as soon as the
leaves are bruised, n chemical action
being set up through the union OF an
engine with a glucosid.

Joe Sherman Here to Fight with the
Leading Lightweights.


lightweight, is working out at Billy
O'ConnelI's gymnasium while his
manager, Oscar Gutter, is stalking
local Iightweights and their keepers
in an effort to land fights.
Sherman is hot after Jimmy Muir
ply, Mickey Sheridan, Danny Good
man and Charley White, and says
he is willing to make concessions to
get them into ring and stripped
for action. Two Wisconsin clubs are
said to be willing to sign Sherman
with any of the quartet named.
Sherman is not an old-timer at
the game, having graduated only two
years ago from the position of spar
ring partner of Joe Mandot, the new
Orleans baker. Sherman's best bat
tie was against his former boss. He
lost the decision by shade, but put
up stout battle.
Eddie McGoorty may be barred for
six months by the Wisconsin boxing
commission for not going through
with his fight with Jack Dillon.
Gunboat Smith knocked Charley
Miller out in the third round last
night in New York The fight was
farce, and Miller is now eligible to
return to Frisco and run. a street
car. He is through as'a fighter in the
East. Smith was outweighed 26
pounds, but toyed with his opponent
until the third. when he put through
a right to the jaw and followed with
another right on top Of the head.
Most of these white hopes would
get nothing but sprained ankle if
they were hit on top of the head.
Willie Ritchie is now working on a
program that will embrace fights
with Ad Wolgast, Tommy Murphy
and Young Shugrue within four
months. This means there will be an
epidemic of busted ribs and strained
