Mr.. White explained that the

Association in 1888 and adopted by the

the old London prize ring rules. Ac-
cording TO these rules the bantam
weight limit Is 105 pounds. the teath-
erweight limit lis pounds, the light
weight 1873 pounds. and so on.
Now" he explained. there isn't a
so-called bantamweight OF promi-
nence to-day who can mako los

difficulty in getting under lis, the

weights on the other hand are fight

and get away with II. 1t Is all wrong,
ana the one best thing that can be
done 70 improve the boxing game and
make the sport more enjoyable Is for
the referees and club managers to
insist upon a rigid adherence to the
weights as called for in the rules. II
the rules are not to be enforced there

Sewing Suggestions.

When sewing long seams use wire
paper clips to fasten the edges of the
cloth together and no bastins will be
necessary Turn up n hem the desired
depth and place the fasteners at the
bottom edge to hold 1t In place.
In making buttonhole In serge the
material often trays badly at the cut
edges. To avoid this make mark to
show the exact size and position of the
buttonhole by means of tacking
thread Then stitch around this tack
ing thread with the machine. Now you
are ready To cut the hole between the
stitching and to work the buttonhole
over the machine stitching.
When boys blouses are bought ready
