IMPUDENT.


THE SULTAN OF TURKEY demands
that all ships passing through the Oar
daneles shall dismantle their wireless
apparatus and leave it on the shore. This
may be happy plan for the collection Of
wireless instruments, but it will not please
ship captains, some Of whom are sent forth
by rather particular nations. Turkey may
mess around until it gets its neck wrung.

men asked permission to prune, cultivate and
work with an unfruitful vine a few moro

it was dug out and destroyed This is cor
rect agricultural practice. If the tree or
seed does not produce abundantly, it is right
to give it fair trial and then to cast it
aside. If the COW fails to measure up to
profitable production, she should be sent to
the block. If the hog does not prove a

Tho Secret of Badness.

The actual condition of the scalp
and of the hair has very much less to
Ito with the health of the latter than
is popularity supposed. The bulbs of
the roots of the hair go down com
pletely through the skin and into the
fatty layer which lies between it and
the skull, and the thing that to the eX-
pert eye is really significant of the
prospect rs to progress or cure in a
particular case of badness is rot the
condition or color or cleanliness of
the scalp. but the thickness or thinness
OF this fatty layer which underies it.
So long as this l.; present and the
scalp is freely movable over the skull
there is hope of restoring Il reasonable
growth of hair. but when this fat has
been absorbed and the shiny scalp
sticks as closely to the skull as tie
cover on Il baseball the outlook is
practically hopeless. This. of course.
shows ut once the futility of most Of
the local applications to and manipu-
lations of the scalp. from which it suf-
fers untold torments in those who are
or imagine themselves to be becoming
bald.

In an Egyptian Hotel.

a bunch of luscious La France roses

gorgeous livery Of green and gold. mo-
lions him to an Arab servant in
starchy white, with broad red girdle
and tarboosh. and golden hoops in his

REFEREE ROBS
 SMITH IN BOUT
 WITH M M'C00RTY Y

One of the most remarkable dem onstra tions witnessed at a boxing contest followed the twenty round bout between Jeff Smith and Eddie McGoorty. two Americans, at the Sta diun, Sydney, Australia on March 14. when Referee A s. Scott declared AdcGoorty the winner The decision was so unpopular and manifestIy un-. just that the Stadium management not only deposed the referee, but sent. an official repudfation of his ruling to all countries where boxing is recog- nized. The latter proceeding marks a new era in boxing. and while it cannot change the refefee's decision, it unoficially recognizes smith as the winner
 The contest was twenty rounds, and announced for the middle weight championship of the world More than 15.O00 persons, . including many women, were present, and fully 90 per cent. of the spectators showed their disapproval of the decision by missing and hootingt the announce ment, and so pronounced was the at titude of the spectators that the ref cree was nobbed

BOXING NOTES
(F,rorn n. s. Andrews.l )

1sA
 According to advices from Australia. the recent battle between Eddie Me Goorty and Jen Smith Of New York. was not such victory for the Wfs- consin boy as first hand reports indi- cated. Letters and papers which have been received here the past few days. state that Smith outboxed McGoorty and that the worst he should have had was a draw, while some of the papers there declared that Jeff had really outpointed Eddie. It is also said that McGoorty found it very difficult to get down to 16O pounds, and that the night of the fight he scaled 16z pounds at 6 o'clock. If this is correct
 then the Wisconsin boy will have a hard time to figure in for the mid
 de weight championship, for the hn- it in this country is 158 pounds There is mo doubt that McGoorty has been gradually taking on weight and that to reduce to 158 pounds would weaken
 him considerably. @ Jeff Smith, like Jimmy CIabby, can easily do 1856 pounds and is legitimate middle

 Duncan has two reasons for not coming.

Charlie 6Young) Weinert, of Orange. N J.. and e'Jack,' Murphy, of England, used elbows. knees and wrestling holds in 9. ten round bout at Browns Gymnasium. New York, last night and in the little boxing that was displayed Weinert had the advantage because he was more agile than the heavy limbed Briton. Murphy, weigh ing 177 pounds, was five pounds heavier than the Jersey youngster, who has been told that he looks like a champion. A liberal interpretation of boxing rules by Eddie" Toy. who was referee, saved Weinert from being declared loser of the bout on a foul in the fifth round.
 While the EngIishman was taking a count with one knee on the floor Weinert delivered two of his hardest swings to the jaw. The referee overS looked this.

 Gibbons showed all of his wares and pulled every trick that he was capable of. punched hard and did not loaf, but nevertheless he was unable to do more than slightly damage Howard.s face Mike cut the Jer- seyite,s nose and left eye. In return, Howard raised a lump aDove Mikes left eye. At the finish, Gibbons was tired from his exertfons. while How ard was comparatively fresh.
 Howard has been training at Capt. Bonds in Stratford.
