New Field for Women.

The opening of new. venue Of

matter Of considerable importance,
and the Maxwell Motor company Of
New York is making an effort to util.
'ize them as saleswomen. In recent
communication the president Of the
company says: Il believe that there
lis room for women in the automobile

good saleswomen and demonstrators

will be particularly successful with aui

"9LACK BELT" is oUIET.

Chicago. April 6.-An air of disap-
pointment pervaded the "Black Belt
last night. It was as If the community
had had a promised holiday recalled.
The "Black Belt" had set itself for a
big celebration, but Jack Johnson had
lost.
There were no demonstrations, no
heated arguments. no signs of rowdy-
ism, no disturbances of any kind to
give work to the extra details of po-
lice assigned to South State street.
Took Defeat Gracefully.
Johnson's defeat %disproved the pre-
vailing impression that he was the
lido. Of his race. The crowds which
waited for the returns in saloons and
on the streets assumed the attitude of
any crowd waiting for the outcome of
an athletic event. They were prepar-
ed to rejoice should their favorite
win, and when news of his defeat was
flashed to them they went home as
quietly as a Sunday baseball crowd
when the home team has lost a game.

Los Angeles, April 6.-Mrs. Jess

champion Of the world, with her 16-
m%onths.old son, Jess, Jr., watched her
husband, more than, 5000 miles away,
fight the fight Of his life and emerge
victor.
Dressed in a neat street gown of

an afternoon newspaper. She had a
seat beside the telegraph operator so
she could read every word as 1t was
licked out of the wires.

Only three times during the fight did
Mrs. Willard utter a sound. In the
fourth round, whenTJohnsons landed 2

remarked: #R1 fsea
Il don't care for those blows If he
only doesn't get hit in the face"
In the fifteenth, with the tide of bat
tie apparently going against her hus-
band, Mrs. Willard said:
II think he's all right. Perhaps he
is firing Johnson out"
From this time on to the beginning
of the tweny.third round, when the
battle suddenly changed in her hus-
bands favor, Mrs. Wizards face be-
trayed no emotion whatever, but her
features were tense and it was plainly
seen she was undergoing a severe ner.
