By FRED HAWTHORNE.

Is there a Little L. s. Junior Naval
Reservist in your home? If your young
hopefuls. boys or girls, are not en-
rolled in this organization visit to the
Motor Boat Show at the Grand Central
Palace will probably help them on the
way to future usefulness to their
country.
The L. 6. Junior Naval Reserve, Inc.
started its booth on the mezzanine floor
in full swing yesterday, and Mrs. +. Won
X. Owen, the secretary on membership,
assisted by two young women IN white
MILDLY costumes. and a wide-awake boy
OF fifteen In sailors uniform spent a
busy day in explaining the objects Of
the reserve to visitors.
Government officials are keenly in
terested in the organization. which pro
poses TO begin at the foundation the
youth Of the land and prepare Amer
lcan boys Tor careers IN the merchant
marine and the navy, and train them
for the purpose OF safeguarding the
nation IN time of war.
Some OF the pungcnt paragraphs in
the junior naval reserve platform are b:
We aim 10 make good citizens Of the
boys and girls 10 teach them TO guard
as well as TO govern their country.
This generation makes the plans
for defence; the coming generations
carry them out"
The primary object of the organiza-
ton, according to Mrs. Owen, who
recently spoke before a large audience
in Washington upon the subject, is 10
make the boys and girls Of this country
realize their possibilities in regard
10 true citizenship. and thus increase
their usefulness. Girls will be taught

Tom Cowler believes in omens, signs,
premonitions and all the various means
by which kindly fate warns a man
of impending disaster. When Tom
stood up TO begin the second round OF
his fight against Jack Dillon at the
Broadway Sporting Club, Of Brooklyn,
last night one Of his seconds dropped
a sponge IN the ring.
Cowler's handler meant no harm. He
was merely anxious TO get out OF the
way, so that Tom might continue 10
lab his opponent TO distraction, as he
had done in the first round In fact,
the sponge lay on the floor OF the ring
for only "a second or so before some
body reached through the ropes and
picked il up. But Cowler saw the grim
emblem of defeat. and when his head
clears this morning or this evening he
will remember the sponge and what
happened afterward
Tom grnned when he saw the sponge
lying at his feet, but he would have
done well 70 take II seriously. Il re
quired only a moment or so for the
W tOAf a7HfAb VI llAf w NlAoir' A'i Ht-
Tom Cowler. The room had been dim
enough with smoke at the beginning
OF the round, but a little later II began
10 move about. And then Tom saw
more than sponges.
He cannot say he was not warned.
There was the omen at the beginning
Of the round and later and more en-
/ phatic one. Jack Dillon supplied the
second hint He permitted Tom to poke
/ him twice with light left leads and then
/ he marched through jab until he was
/ i'm close to the man who doomed some
six or seven inches above him. Dillon
/ looked up and reached up at the same
/ time. II was the quick impulsive move
ment Of a man IN hurry seizlng ms
/ hat, but Dillons right hand was closed.
As the glove thumped upon Cowler's
Jaw he leaned first back and then for
ward. So much did he deviate from the
perpendicular that his jaw was twice
on a level with Dillon's right shoulder.
+ The mark was too unsteady for the
eager little man and he missed twice,
but he knew that he need land only
once more. Tom Cowler shared his
knowledge.
To the credit of Cowlcr il may be
! said that although he had seen the
warning sponge and felt the Fremont
tory punch he still smiled. II was not
much Of smile, but il was the best he
could do. He hung on 10 Dillon.
Friends at the rrgside. seeing the grin
Of Cowler, hooded at him, as much as TO
say, go on, Tom, you're not hurt.'
There was no answering smile from
Cowler His grin was set 20 stay for
the evening.
Cowler wanted 10 be very close 20
Dillon or a long way of When the
smaller man wIcnched himself free
from a clinch Cowler backed away.
