Jack Boland VS.. Buddy Ray
and Patsy Donovan VS.. Kid
Whip Is Card Arranged
for Turkey Day.
LOWE UP AGAINST II

Manager Jimmy Lafontaine Of the
Maryland Athletic and Social Club AZ
Ardnore, Maryland. has named two pre-
liminary bouts for the Houck-Lowe set
to. which Il scheduled to be held on
Thanksgiving night. Jack Boland. the
local middle-weight who has caused quite
q sensation in the local nstic circle. VIII
battle Buddy Ray over a six-round route
In one of the preliminaries. while Pasty
Donovan Is scheduled to meet KID Whip
In a four rounder.
Boland and Ray are both sparring
partners of loves and during the past
two weeks have developed quite little
talk as TO which was the best battler. and
as q grudge Is standing between these
boys q lively setto should result In
meeting Boland. Ray will be compelled
to give away about ten pounds IN weight.
but he jumped at the opportunity to set
tie his difficulty with the local middle
weight.
whether or not Tommy Lowe the
lightweight star OF this vicinity. Is go
ing to continue his remarkable advance
until he lands a match with Freddi
Welsh. will be determined here when
he faces the Philadelphia Bear-cat ON
turkey day. and many ring followers be-
lieve the match will possibly be tn
hardest test to which the clever local
battler has yet been subjected.
Houck Is known as a classy slugger
from his heart and in his one match
/ here with Lowe he showed that he knows
the boxing game from every angle and
has a knockout punch in either hand.
and Is one Of the most dangerous men
In the lightweight ranks His work OF
late indicates that he Is in better form
right now than ever before. He has been
bowling over opponents at a sensational
clip In the past month. and will do his
best to land the K o. on the local boy.
Lowe VIII go in to outpoint Houck.
as Tommy Is too wise to give the Phil
adelphia slugger a chance to get that
old left home Lowe Is faster than his
opponent. and will be able to dictate
terms Just so long as he keeps Houck
outside OF that left.
Lowe would give considerably more to
lick Houck than he would to win the
championship title, and that is saving
a whole lot. as there Is talk around the
town by the fistic fans that Houck will
take loves number before the fifteenth
round At any rate. the contest will be
the best ever held at the Maryland Club.
Arrangements have been made with
the Washington, Baltimore and Annapo-
lis Electric line to have plenty of cars
waiting at Fifteenth and H street north
east, to carry a large gathering of fans
10 Ardmore. Cars will leave that point
and Fifteenth and New York avenue

His speech to- night will be the second public utter ance on the subject since his resigna- tion from the Wilson cabinet, and will deal with real and imaginary assaults on the honor of a nation. The sub ject of the national honor will be treated from a new and original point of view.
 Later in the week Bryan will go to San Francisco to participate in the Fourth of July celebration at the Panama-Pacifc exposition.

ALASKA EXHIBIT BY SEATTLE
 CHAMBER

Featuring beautiful colored lantern slides, which will be thrown on the screen between 10 and 12 in the morn ing and 1 and in the afternoon on every day but Sundays, the Alaska ex. hibit of the Alaska bureau of the Chamber of Commerce is now open in the store room at Fourth avenue and Seneca street. The exhibit and pic lures are free.
 The pictures to be shown are those which attracted attention in Washing. ton, D. C., two years ago, when they were displayed to show the admins tration and members of congress the truth about Alaska. They have been pronounced to be the most beautiful and comprehensive collection of views of the Northland ever assembled. There are $50 of them, Illustrating all phases of Alaskan life, industries and scenery. President Wilson viewed them in Washington with much inter. est and Secretary of State Bryan be- came so engrossed that he forgot two engagements. Mrs. Bryan requested a set of the views, and they were sup. piled appropriately mounted in. an album.
 The purpose of moving the exhibit to the new location Is to put 1t in easy reach of the tourists who are passing through the city so that they may be informed correctly as to Alaska. Ground floor space, centrally located, was necessary, and the Metropolitan Building Company supplied it, giving the use of the store room for nothing for the four months during which it will be occupied by the exhibit.
 While the lantern slides will be the popular feature, there are also many interesting exhibits of Alaska grains. minerals and other products, and eff fective window displays have been installed.

lEPROSY IS NOT UNDERSTOOD
 BY PUBLIC

SAN FRANCISCO. Jnue 24.-Horror of Leprosy is an inheritance from the middle ages and is not justified by the facts, said Dr. Douglas w. Mont gomery of San Francisco, in a paper presented this morning before the Slxty-Sixth Annual session Of the American Medical Association. The repulsive appearance of leprosy and the fear of it's extreme contagion dSe to misunderstanding of the nature of leprosy as mentioned in the Bible have created belief in the public mind that leprosy is extremely contagious. This belief, says Dr. Montgomery, is not founded on fact. Leprosy Is very slightly contagious and Is a slowly progressive disease, much less danger ous to the community or to the indi- vidual than smallpox, tuberculosis and many other diseases.
 lhe growing economic and industrial importance of public health work was emphasized by several speakers. Sickness insurance was advocated by Dr. D. s. Warren of the United States Health Service as means of overcoming the handicap of poverty among wage earners. Dr. Warren showed that disease is more prevalent among low paid workers than among better paid and that fully one-half of the wage-earning families of the United States do not have an income sufficient to maintain healthy stand ard of living. A governmental system of sickness insurance for working peo- pie would increase their economic in- dependence as we'll as their physical condition, he said.
