This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.

SAYS BOXING GAME

Pupil of lem Mace in Bare Knuckle Fighting Scorns
 Ring Exponents.

There is an old sporting saying to the effect that if boxer and a wrest- Ter were locked in a roo into have it out to a finish, those who wagered on the wrestler could prepare to collect when the door was opened. Now comes Walter Cathcart, nearly eighty years old, a bare knuckle fighter of half a century ago and pupil of Jem Mace, who has little respect for the present day fighters chances against
 ,e old time ring men. In an inter- view he is quoted as follows:
 "The art of self defense means just what the term implies-the ability to protect yourself from attack on the street or at any other place. How many modern boxers can do that? Not many I'll venture.
 If Willie Ritchie had to fight on the street I'll bet he wouldn't know as much about it as does the ordinary barroom scrapper. Anyhow he would n't dare hit. He'd be afraid to break his hands,"
 Commenting on the parrying of blows by means of the forearm he says:

OLD TIME PLAYERS FAVOR NJ BRING
 OF FOOTbhLLISTS
Fail to See Where System h. jures Strategy of Gridiron Game; Luminary of Other Years Talks.

SAN FRANCISCO, March, A. Old time football players are interested in the reason given by those who oppose the numbering of football players on the field. namely. that it would destroy the strtegical value of the game.
 Just how they figure this out is more than I can understand said one former star of the gridiron. " In the first place the numbers are placed on the backs of the men, and in view of the fact that the opposing team always face each other when they line up it is difficult to understand how they ex- pect to see them.
 The objection made by Coach A. A. Stagg of the University of Chicago that scouts can determine by the nun bers around whom the pivotal plays are built up is weak inasmuch as the men need not be numbered during practice, and it is unnecessary for the same men to carry the same number throughout the season. They can be changed prior to every contest.
 ''In.the days when played we were too busy attending to the play to waste any time theorizing on the. field. That was all done eff the field ard when we were in match, it was action Of the most strenuous and practical sort. 1 never waster a moment of my time trying 10 figure out what the other fel- lows signals might mean. We were all too busy trying to remember our own code. The ability 10 grasp the sit uation the moment the other fellow develops it is what counts
 T believe that it should be unneces- sary to make the numbering of the players compulsory but that teams themselves would appreciate the fact that By being able to identify players through this means. spectators who pay their good money to see the game would have their pleasure enhanced. As far as reports of the games are con cerned. it would go a long way toward accurate accounts. especially in these days when substitutes are put in and taken out every few minutes during play"

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, Feb. 26.-"The
least a woman can live on. maintaining
her decency and health, is $3.50 a
week." Professor William z. Ripley. Of
Harvard University, told the students
Of Vassar College in a lecture on the
minimum wage.
The lecture was attended oy large
number Of students and members OF
the faculty.
Professor Ripley showed how tho
strength of the Massachusetts Wage
Commission had steadily grown. 1t did
not undertake, he said, to tackle the
question of wages for women at first,
but began by getting law through the
Legislature for a general eight-hour
working day. Next it took up the prob
lem of industrial accidents and secured
a law on accident insurance. Now 1t is
engaged in standardizing wages for
women.
"How does the Legislature of Massa-
chusetts decide what is fair wage Tor
given industry" asked one OF the
girls.
Professor Ripley replied that thi:.
was done by committee composed OF
representatives from the workers, en-
ployers and outsiders.
Before the enactment OF the min
imum wage" said Professor Ripley,
girls earned on an average 80
week. Some earned as much as So
There was laugh at this from the
Vassar girls.

employees in New York." continued Pro-
fessor Ripley, learn less than 50

impossible, in my estimation, for any
girl or woman TO live on less than
$3.50 a week"
The students quizzed Professor Rip-
ley for some time. They told him that
they were much interested in the prob
lem of the shop and facto girl. They
informed him that anything which aid
ed the working girl. such as the ei-
forts Of the wage commission, met with
their entire sympathy.
