BREnM TELLS
BOXING CLUBS
WORKING plan

George Brehm, manager OF the new
Quaker City Athletic club, denied to-
day that the report that the organiza-
ton was started for the purpose of
running Billy Benson out OF the boxing
game, Mr.. Brehm requested that his
position in the matter be published.
He said that all members of the club
were for Benson and that they would
not oppose him in any way. In fact,
he said, they wanted him to work
with them. .+~. ...a.
THERE'S no reason why Mr.. Benson
can not go ahead and hold his fights
as he has done. We win patronize
his shows and will help boost them all
We can" said Mr.. Brehm.
Our idea is to hold boxing matches
under different conditions than they
have ever been held in Richmond. We
intend to name boxing commission
and to see that the people are not
handed any fakes Every boxer must
pass rigid physical examination be-
fore entering the ring. There will be
no boisterous yelling or anything of
that sort allowed, and we will have
men to enforce order.
The first fight under the auspices of
the new club will be held January 10,
when Tommy Dillon Is scheduled to
meet Terry Nelson of Philadelphia
Red Schneider will box either Tommy

TENNIS GAINS
FAVOR AMONG
BUSINESS men

According to the statement of local
observer of sporting matter IN general
next to baseball, tennis was the most
popular sport during the past summer
and he predicts that next year 1t will
be played by almost as many people
as participate in the great national
pasttime,s a.a
Sporting goods dealers when ques.
toned said that there had been a
great demand for racquets and tennis
balls drf1ng the past season and that
they anticipated greater demand dur.
ing the spring and summer of 1916.
Tennis is not looked upon any more
as a game for the feeble-minded but
Is recognized as a healthful outdoor
exercise that gives all the muscles in
the body plenty Of play and i. is being
indulged in more and more by tired
business men who want some relax
alton from their office duties.
Last year the smaller towns around
Richmond took up the sport and while
there was a vacant piece of ground 1t
was converted into tennis court.
Golf il another game that is coming
into Its own and some day in the near
future sporting men assert that there
will be public golf links In every large
city. Like tennis, golf has been
looked down upon as not being fit
game for grown man to indulge in,
but the people are forming different
opinion and understand better the
good that comes from the game
through tramping' over the green, up
and down hill, and swinging the clubs
at the little white ball.
Men and women too, get exercise
that they would not take otherwise If
It were not for the incentive offered
by the game.

In the current issue of Farm and Preside contributor advises parents in part as follows;
 "Does the boy want to leave the farm? We'll, whose fault is that?
 Has he been useful? Has he ever been told that he is useful?
 "Has he an interest in the farming Does he own any live stock9 Does his father help the boy as cheerfully as he expects the boy to help him?
 "To be sure, when was boy 1 had to work hard and didn't expect any pay for it. l was expected to obey my parents. 1 was up in the morning to build the fires, and it was my frost bitten fingers that unlocked the barn door at daybreak.
 But that was long time ago. In those days there wasn't d town every few miles with moving picture shows, street cars, and tempting jobs whick pay real money. Things have changed" :"

THE COUNTIES POOR

The Scriptures admonish us that i've who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak" And while country people know very little of poverty, since there are very few real
 ly poor and indigent people living in the country, there are nevertheless those who by misfortune are deprived of support. These should have our assistance. The best way to help is to help people help themselves. By giving employment or by helping an unfortunate prepare for employment the helper renders more lasting fa- vor than if he gave of his means.
 There is still another responsibil- lty resting upon every citizen of the state, whether he lives in the coun- try or in the city, that is, for the care and comfort of the county's poor. the insane and others in charge of the county. Surely these unfortunates would receive better care if every tax
 payer manifested a personal interest in these people as well as pay his part of the tax. No county official would ever be careless with these poor and afflicted if the county manifested an interest in them.-Farm and Ranch.

Not a Monroe Doctrine.

Galveston Tribune.
 Japan's new policy in the Far East of Asia for the Asiatics contains noth- ing in common with the Monroe Doc urine and should not be confused with the noble and altruistic manifesto is sued by the great American President to the nations of the world in 1923. Japan doctrine is to dominate as much of Asia, and to direct the industrial and commercial affairs of Asia to Ja- pans private profit. America has laid down no such principle with reference to the weaker republics of this hemis- phere. Such proposition is too ab- horrent even for passing considera- tion by our statesmen. Should Japan attempt to force through her program she will never be able to regain the confidence or trust of the other peoples of earth.

Why Human Beings Often Fail 70
 Pick Their Mates.

In the June American Magazine Walter Prichard Eaton tells the first in new series of love stories entitled, "The Bird House Man" The first story is called ''The Song Sparrow" ," and in the following extract taken from it two characters discuss bird mating and human mating:
 "Did you ever reflect, said Alec Farnum, that the birds never make a mistake in mating? It's only We puor bkndering humans who get ali mixed up in our mating.'
 "'Yes, there's that Sally Fisher, she's married Jew!' said Mrs. Plumb Cant no happiness come of marrying a Jew, l say
 "I'd go farther than that smiled the man. It isn't so much Jew or Chinese or Slav that makes the differ ence in us humans; it's our souls. Some of us are wild ducks, and some of us are hermits, and some of us are domestic robins, or merry chickadees or cantankerous crows. There are nightingales and song sparrows, as well as hawks and grackles. But we don't find our own kind at mating time. Do you know why we don't, Mrs. Plumb? 2
 "'No. Will you have some more peas?' said she.
 "I will; they are delicious, he an swered. The first early peas are al ways delicious. The answer to my question is that the circulation among souls is not free enough. It is too constricted. Love, Mrs. Plumb, is with us matter of proximity. We have to love, it's our nature. If we are song sparrow, and there is no other song sparrow in sight, We fool ishly fall in love with the grackle next door. That's the whole trouble with humanityl'"

WATER RESOURCES OF SOUTH.
 ERN RIVERS

Measurements of stream flow have been made by the United States Geo. logical Survey at about 5000 points Tn the United States, and also at many points in small areas in Seward Pen insula and the Yukon-Tanana region Alaska, and in the Hawaiian Islands. In July, 1913. 1888 gazing stations were being maintained by the Survey and the cooperating organizations and many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at other points. In connection with this work data were also collected in regard to precipitation, evaporation, storage reservoirs, rivers profles. and water power in many sections of the country and are available in the regular wa ter-supply papers issued by the Geo logical Survey.
 One of these reports entitled Sur face Water Supply of the Lower Mis- siissippi River Basin 1913" (Water- Supply Paper 357), by Robert Follans bee and G. A. Gray, contains records of the flow of rivers in the Arkansas, Yazoo, and Red River basins, tribu- tary to the lower Mississippi, during 1913. Forty-one stations were main tained in the basins of. these rivers during the year. The Arkansas River records cover the principal upland tri- butaries in Colorado, together with Canadian River in New Mexico and White River in Arkansas and Missou- ri. The records in the Yazoo River drainage basin were procured in CO., operation with the Tallahatchie Drain age Commission and are of fundamen- tai importance in connection with drainage work in this fertile delta re- zion. The work in New Mexico was done in cooperation with the State Engineer.

u,,r PREVENTION OF TYPHUS
 FEVER.

Among the brightest pages of the ,..or, of American medicine are n n..o recording the work of American
 :nntsts on the part played by in S .4. in the transmission of disease. ~so Sv foundation of the later work on Ao m transmission of disease was laid T.. Tboobald Smith in his work on the ..,nsmission of Texas fever of cattle ky the tick. That pioneer work open ad m and laid the foundation for prac- t;,sllv all the subsequent work by .thers both in the United States. and sbroad, in this important branch of medical science. Since then other in- .oot horne diseases have been added to the list by American scientists yellow fever through the work of Reid Carroll. Lazear and Agramonte; Rocky Mountain Spotter fever by picketts, King and McClintic; typhus bv Anderson and Goldberger, Ricketts and Wilder; plague by Mccoy, and an- thrax by Mitzmain. By applying the nrinciples determined from consider atiOn of the work of these investiga- tors to the control of different disea- ses many of them have been brought nder control or have been practically eradicated from this country. By the spplication of measures based on the part played by the tick in the trans mission of Texas fever of cattle the area of infection has been greatly re- duced and each year sees it still fur ther limited. Since the brilliant cam paign of the Public Health Service, under the leadership of White, in New Orleans in 1905 the South has lost its terror of a yellow fever epidemic. Outbreaks of bubonic plague are quickly brought under control by giv- np attention to the part of the rodent and the flea.
 The most recent work of American Investigators on insect transmission of disease, that of the conveyance of typhus fever by the louse, promises to have vital part in the control of typhus in Serbia and eastern Europe.

MYSTERIOUS CHIMNEY SWIFT

Much has been learned about bird migration but much yet remains to be learned, and the following is one of the most curious and interesting of the unsolved problems. The chim- ney-swift is one of the most abundant and best-known birds of eastern United States. With troops of fedg- lings catching their winged prey as they go by, and lodging by night in tall chimneys, the flocks drift slowly south joining with other bands, until on the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico they become an innumerable host. Then they disappear. Did they drop into the water or hibernate in the mud, as was believed of Tod, their ob- liberation could not be more complete. In the last week in March a joyful twittering far overhead announces their return to the Gulf coasts but their hiding place during the inter vening five months is still the swift's secret.
