AFTERNOON AT ZOO ENJOYED DESPITE A HEAVY D0WNP0UR
Mimic Fight Between Two Boys Armed With Padded Sticks Ends In Real
 Battle

The heavy rain yesterday afternoon the year to visit the Avondale ZOO de- spite tho fact that there Is great amount of interest at the present time as to which members of the official family suffered the ax.
 A large number of visitors had gath cred at the park before the rain com lnenced. but when Jupiter Pluvius in- torfered there was wild rush for cover. Practically every stand and pa- capacity.
 The youngsters real fun came after the rain was over. With fewer inhab- itants of the pond present. the kiddies splashed to their hearts content. Miss Fancy took advantage of the shower and received a good bath. After the rain she proved to be the main attrac- ton. Teddy the bear. would not ven- ture out of his hole during the storm, but later the coolness of the air prompt cd some of his unusual Sunday tricks.
 Probably the feature of greatest in- torest during the entire cloudy after. noon was a fight between two boyA each in tub and armed with padded sticks The affair attracted unusual attention and lasted for about 20 min utes The fracas finally ended with q real fight and their punishment.
 Another feature was new member Of the zoo family. A calf was born Wednesday to the big Jersey COW. The newest addition proved to be a popu- lar attraction. The rain and heavy clouds made the afternoon exceedingly gloomy for the other animals. espe- cially the monkeys and birds. but the waterfowls didn't mind

Saturdays early closing is possi-

 Getting folks to change their habits.
 This would be easy if they would only
 commence thinking-thinking for them selves and others.
 Shopping Saturday nights Is a matter
 of custom--everywhere people seem te

 one-half they intended.
 The merchants would have very little say so in the closing hour. They would Just naturally go home if there was no business After all this movement is the mere matter of handling the public, convincing them that in time they will be among the beneficiaries. The writer has for several years ex- pressed a desire to see the stores close at noon on saturday-giving a real
 week end to the working world. and this means everybody. and not inter- fore with business, but result in better business.
 Housekeepers who go to market Sat daylight, and women who pay their l servants Saturday night could easly arrange among themselves a regular , "cook pay day"

Paris, August 29.-(5 p. m)-Germany' s Zeppelins have been repainted a leaden gray similar to the color of battleships. which renders them difficult to see. A Zurich dispatch to the Milan Stampa says that during recent flights over Lake Con- stance, Zeppelins appeared in their new dress.
 The latest model Zeppelins resemble large fish. Both ends taper, so that they have lost to some extent the familiar cigar shape.

CHOLERA ADDS 10
 ARMENIAN BURDEN
Reported by Presbyterian Mission aries that Hundreds Dying Daily
 at Tabriz, Persia.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The Pres
 byteran Board of Foreign Missions
 state that cholera is adding to the
 terror of the burdens of the war stricken Armenian refugees who fled
 from the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys to Tabriz, in Persia, to escape
 massacre at the hands of the Turk |ish and Kurd soldiers.
 It is reported by the Presbyterian
 missionary in charge of the mission at Tabriz that the mortality among the Armenians alone in Tabriz is over one hundred per day. The Arme- nians are reported to be destitute, and starving despite the efforts of the missionaries to relieve their plight. Ambassador Morgenthau, United Estates representative at Constantino- pie, has cabled the Armenian relief committee that if the Armenian refu- gees in Turkey are to be saved that money must be sent immediately and
 that millions of dollars will be re-
 quired to even partly relieve the sit' uation.

PROTEST AGAINST
 HEADING WOMEN Reformers of Detroit Believe that the Women of Underworld Should
 Receive Chance of Men.

DETROIT, Nov. 1.-The Detroit city council last night passed an or dinance re-establishing restricted destrict and instructing the chief Of police to see that the women of the underworld are, kept within the dis trict.
 The creation of the segregated dis trict has raised a storm of protests from the reformers of the city who contend that the men who visit the women should also be isolated. The ordinance was passed on recommen- dation of the chief of city police, who claimed that his force was in- sufficient to maintain order as the women had scattered to all parts of the city, even taking up quarters in the leading hotels and residential districts.
 Charges of graft have been made as it is reported that relatives of one of the councilnen is large property owner in the district to be set apart as the restricted district.

POST BOYS GIVE
 EVENINGS SPORT
Good Program of Athletic Events Successfully Carried Out at
 Post Last Evening.

About one hundred and twenty five of the sport-loving men of Val deg crossed the bay last night to at tend the initial smoker given by the Fort Liscum Athletic club. They ex- pected a good time and were not dis appointed as the Post boys had ar ranged and successfully carried out good program of athletic events.
 The opening event was 15-min- ute wrestling bout between Herb Crooks of Valdez and Private Odear of Fort Liscum. Both are clever wrestlers, with Crooks having the ad- vantage of weight and greater exper- fence. As is proper in such events the strangle and toe holds were bar red Odear is quick as lightning and saved himself several times when it looked as though his shoulders would be forced to the mat. Only once was Crook in danger, but Odear lacked the weight and strength to turn his opponent. Crook won the only fall in 12 minutes, 40 seconds.
 The preliminary Around glove contest between Private Clifford and Private Morris, while lacking in sci ence more than evened the score with plenty of action. At the tap of the gong they went at each other as tho scheduled for a one-round bout. Both are game boys and can stand plenty ing for more Clifford had the ad vantage in weight, being possibly ten or fifteen pounds heavier than his op- ponent. and won the decision.
 The glove contest between Harry Ober of Valdez and Roy Hoots, of Fort Liscum, was clever exhibition of open-hand boxing. Ober is de eidedly clever, cool, quick to take ad- vantage of an opening and with train ing would probably make good in the professional class should be decide to follow the ring. Hoots is also clever but was outclassed when he was matched with Ober. He jared Harry in the first round and started the claret. The bout ended in the second round by the referee award ing the decision to Ober :.. ",
 The bayonet fencing contest be- tween Private Rudic and Private Frazier, both of Fort Liscum, was in teresting. The men were we'll match pended upon to give good account of themselves in using the bayonet if necessary.

glove contest between Smoky Joe of Valdez and Private Red Mann of Fort Liscum was good sport while it last ed. Joe's rolls of fat showed lack of training and anyone seeing the contest would acknowledge that his advantage in weight and strength were necessary to offset his lack of training and condition. In the first round Mann appeared to land on Joe at pleasure, but his blows did not seem to phase the big fellow. Mann has peculiar guard which worked we'll against Joe, but which would prove risky in battling against clev- erer opponent. Covering his face and neck with his arms he would take Joe's blows on his back and ribs, then quick as lightning would swing his right to his opponents face. This tactic was repeated several times, when once should have been suffi- cient to teach Joe what to expect and how to return the favor. At the end of the second round Mann had Joe against the ropes and apparently failed to hear the call of time as he landed three or four hard ones on Joe's face after Joe had lowered his mitts. The referee also evidently failed to hear the call of time.
 Soon after the beginning of the third round Mann was fouled in an encounter by Joe's hand glancing downward and hitting below the belt. Private Fisher, who acted as referee in the glove contests, filled the posi- tion in an impartial manner, but er- red in giving Mann the decision on foul, as under Marquis of Queens bury rules Smoky would have been awarded the decision at the close of the second round.
 The Fort Liscum boys have every reason to be proud of the success of their entertainment and it is to be hoped that during the long winter they will continue to furnish an occa- sional evenings entertainment of clean, clever sports such as they pro- vided for their guests last night.
