Gestures Part of Talk.

There is man who from a very
early age has lived in countries where
Spanish is the almost universal tongue.
From force of this training he speaks
Spanish perfectly. He has not the
slightest trace of an English accent.

Is Of American parentage are willing
to believe he is Spaniard merely
from hearing him talk. He is so per-
fectly bilingual that it shows even in
his gestures. When talking with Eng
fish speaking persons he sits quietly
and does his cOnversing with his
mouth alone. Only in case of making
point most emphatically does he use
gesture. But the moment he drops
into Spanish his every word is accom-
panied by movement of the hands or
arms. It is interesting to watch the
change from the English to the Span
ish side Of him. because 1t comes so
suddenly. He really can't speak Span
ish without gesturing.-New York Sun.

''Pm the Same Old Bearcat Again.
AID Wolgast Tells Hugh Fullerton
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON.

AID Wolgast Is back; not only
back, but he declares himself re-
arrived to remain indefinitely.
The return of the Michigan
Bearcat is triumph of will pow
er and hard work and. furnishes
the best example of recent years
of the fact that fighter, beaten
and declared down and out, can
by conscientious work undo tho
effects of careless living and re-
cover form.
Wolgast was perhaps the hap
piest man in America when he
leaped through the ropes after
beating Joe Rivers at Milwaukee.
His JOY was not so much that
he had defeated Rivers as it was
from the feeling that he was him
self again and, added to that,
that he was to have another
chance to recover his lost cham
pionship from Willie Richie. For,
before Wolgast fought Rivers, he
paved the return road to the
championship by securing an en-
gagement with the evasive cham
pion, contingent upon his beating
the Mexican. Evidently the
Richie camp thought Wolgast
could not punch his return ticket,
so agreed to fight probably at
Vernon, Cal, July 4.
Whether Wolgast succeeds in
regaining his laurels or not here
is some interesting dope. Listen
to what AID said returning from
the Milwaukee battle.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Feb. q
For the first time since January
8, when the lid on local boxing
was shut down hard and tight, To-
cal fight fans tonight will see the
reopening of the game with two
star bouts that are of nationwide
interest. The more important OF
the two will be between George
Chip, recognized by many sport
ing authorities as the middle
weight champion. and Leo Houck,
of Philadelphia. Houck has want
cd a try at Chip ever since the
latter boxed his way to the late
Stanley Ketchel's throne. Chip
was favored in today's betting.
The fight Is scheduled to go 10
rounds.
The other important local bout
tonight will be between Jack Brit
ton and Kid Kansas, of Buffalo.
The "Sunflower Kid" has been
going at a great pace for six
months and rafting fight is
looked for. The bout Is set for
ten rounds.

to hinder me from meeting them.

 The discussion arose over a piece of sidewalk in Elyton, near the Elyton school, the children going to school. it was claimed, being compelled to wade through the mud and water. In ex- plaining why the sidewalk had not been made Commissioner Weatherly said the city did not have a clear deed to the ground and had reached a com promise with legal representatives to settle the question for the payment of $3OO. The $200 was turned over to the owners attorney, he said, who was then unable to get his client to agree to the compromise and consequently the deed was still missing.
 It was agreed by the commission, however, to build the sidewalk and settle the deed question later

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, October 20, 1914, c p. m) There has been marked westward ex- tension of the high pressure area over lying the eastern portions of the country, causing the low pressure center that on Monday night occupied New Mexico and western Texas to be confined to the ex treme southwest. This has caused d general clearing of weather conditions throughout the cotton states, the rainy weather over Texas, Louisiana and southern Mississippi on Monday night giving way to only slightly cloudy skies in those sections tonight. Local show CTS were reported at Memphis, Browns vile and over the middle Pacific slope, but all other sections of the country re- ported fair weather.
 Temperatures have been moderate over all sections. Reading of 70 degrees or higher prevailed over Texas. Louisiana and the southern portions of the remain ing gulf states, and also over western Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Iowa and southern Minnisota. In other sections temperatures ranged between 50 and 70 degrees, except in the upper Rockies where they were slightly below 50 degrees.
