Fine EXPRESSION.

In review of a novel we come
across this suggestive sentence: Here
too. characters that transmute COM
mon things into gold by the alchemy or
the spirit" The finest thought or the
day is expressed by that modest SEN
tence. The great problem in religion
education, business, politics, and So
ciety concerns itself with that trans
mutation. 1t suggests finer life than
one gets out of the materialism OF the
age. with its luxury, pleasure, selfish
ness, ill will. spite, and overreachlng.
The evolution Of the day is toward the
sanctification of everyday experience
and infusing herOism into common life.
That is what must eventually happen
If humanity ever gets to be what 1t
should be. It is long way to that
end, longer, perhaps, than from the
monad to man, as Emerson expresses
1t, but thither the evolution proceeds.

FIX UP FRACTURED JAWS
Remarkable Work Being Accomplished
by American Dentists In
France.

LondOn.-The work accomplished by
the American residents in Paris when
they founded their great military hos
pital at the Lycee Pasteur and opened
it as ga gift to humanity is bearing
good fruit. In those days military sur
gerry was comparatively young sub
ject. but even then the keen Judgment
of the American dentists-nOtable that
of Doctor Hayes-showed them how
great a part dental and jaw Injuries
were likely to play in the war and
how essential it was that these should
be properly treated.
The jaw may be broken, a piece Of
bone may actually have been smashed
out of it. The loss of that piece of
bone, that tooth socket, can only have
one result If left MISUNDERSTANDING
of q permanent character. Many Of
these cases are now in existence. One
of them was so bad that the defOrmity
constituted threat to breathing. The
French, like the Americans. have not
been slow to recognize these facts as
the work of Doctor Frey at the Val-de-
Grace shows.
with a difficult task in front of him.
For he has to devise methods of keep
ing the broken portions of the jaw in
correct position, correctly spaced from
one another, until such time as nature
is about to bridge the gap, and all the
time he has to work against the ten
dency of the mouth to infect his work
and ruin it.
But the problem can be solved, and
it is being solved. The work of the
Americans at the Lycee Pasteur and
of the French have proved this, and
If further proof be needed the exhibit
ton of plates and dentures at present
being held here at the Royal Society
of Medicine furnishes it. The pic
lures from Paris and elsewhere of men
before and after treatment are elo-
Quent testimony.

anxious for visit from each other.
Haughton has been obliged to re-
fuse cordial offer from Stallings
to go quail hunting in Georgia and
at the same time he urged the
manager of the Braves to come
north at his earliest convenience.
The Stallings telegram to Haugh-
ton said: "Would it be possible for
y'u to come south with some of
yrIr friends for a hunting party?
C'n offer you good quail shooting
with good dogs. If not I will come
north. It is very important that we
get action on couple of players
that the club needs"
Haughton's return message was:
every much regret that | cannot
accept your kind hunting invitation.
So many matters require my at
tention that it will be impossible
for me to get away. Please let me
know when you can at your earliest
convenience come north"

1 will take time to work off that 90 pounds
OF surplus weight he Is carrying around
\ with him. Tom Jones wants a couple of
| months for training and the promoters
/ will be forced to grant the additional
| time.
! A glance over Wizards career In the ring
| shows that II Is not very impressive In
fact we were surprised when we noted
/ that the champion has fought only once in
two years. In April. 1914. Jess knocked out
| n ham" athlete. who sailed under the
name OF George Rodel. On April g. 1915. he
! won the title from Jack Johnson. and then
Joined the circus He has boon acCumu-
lating money and lots OF surplus weight
ever since, and he practically will have to
stage come back" in his first fight as
champion of the world.
Moran Looks Easy
But as we have said before. Moran
should not prove n dangerous foe. He is
easy to hit, and when n heavyweight
lands good walop the floor generally
flies up and meets the victim coming
down. Moran has a habit OF taking lots
of punishment. II Jess has not sprnined
his arm counting the gate receipts all last
summer. he should be able to connect
with Mr.. Moran's jaw before the fight
has gone very far.
AS we drag the grandoldope out OF re-
tirement we note that Moran fought n
20-round battle with Jack johnson In
Paris and was coming strong at the end.
This shows that Frank took lots of pun
ishment and stood the gaff without going
to sleep. Johnson might not have been
In the best Of condition, but he did his
best and failed TO knock out the Pitts
burgher. 1t took Willard % rounds to
win from johnson. According to this
comparison, Moran should last the 10
rounds, provided. however, that Willard
has forgotten how to hit.
Big Local Fights
This $4,000 purse recalls some of the
big money" fights held In Philadelphia in
the past. Terry McGovern and Battling
Nelson drew a $4,000 house at the Ma
tional, and Jack O'Brien and Jack John
son got $4,000 worth of cash customers
at the same place. The Ketchel- o. 'Brien
mix-up drew $4,000.
The McFarland-GIbbons dancing sketch
held in New York last fall drew s32,5OO. /
and the Jefrries- -SharlSey battle. held in
Coney Island on November 3, 1899, drew
S66,300.

WILLARD, IN POOR CONDITION,

LvXCEPT for the signatures of all par

pleasant time.
While the common or garden variety Of
pugilistic impresarios were sparring for an
opening and upsetting lots of conversa-
tion about what they Intended to do. Mr.
Tex Rickard stepped In with some big
league stun, chased them away and hung
up $4,000 In real money for the fracas.
And the funny part of it all Is that MIR.
Rickard means business. He will place
the entire amount in the hands OF the
Stockholders two days before the fight and
promises Willard bonus of 5000 for
signing.
Wants Modest Sum
This sounds so good that there is no
doubt that the battle will be held.
Willard has condescended to indulge in
ten-round bouts in New York for s30,6oO
per bout, or $1,000 per minute, which is
nwfully sweet of him. Rickard has prom
ised him that amount and the other
$4,000 will be slipped to Moran. It is be-
lieved that the Pittsburgher will reluctant

Tex Richard, who put on the Johnson
Jeffries disaster at Reno and paid 2iO1 900
for the privilege. Is not making a blind
gamble in this case. New York will fall
for the match and $4,000 will be n mere
trifie. II is intended to charge from $40
to 500 per seat, and It's a cinch that the
8. X. o. sign will be hung on the front
door long before the principals enter the
ring.

some 5000 fans paid all the way from 50
to $40 for seats at Madison Square Garden.
More than $4,000 poured into the box
office. The Willard-Moran fuss probably
will be held at the Hippodrome. where
only 5000 persons can attend. l can easily
be seen that almost any rice will be paid
for seats
There is little likelihood OF the battle
being staged before the middle of April.

quently known as the u. S. of A.
A Few Proofs
We think we can prove the above state
ment. Take the five star ball clubs OF
the last Is years-tho Pirates OF 19O1-1902:
the Cubs o. i9O5-l9O; the Pirates of lyOi-
1903; the Athletics OF i910-isli, and tho
Giants OF i9li-isl3.
These were all great machines. They
we're considered wcll-nigh invlncible But
after two or three seasons OF constant
stale and were easily dlsmantled You
may recall how the old Cubs caved in and
blew You certainly remember how the
famed Mackm went to the mush when
they were still a young club and supposed
to be at their best. They went bad
through the softuess brought on by too
much prosperity.
Fair Samples
These are all fair samples or clans who
we're wrecked mainly because they lost
their pep and ambltion-becausc they
hadn't suffered sufficiently TO become
strong and hardy again.
Ten years ago Yale was beating Harvard
with consummnte ease. Penn was trim
ming Cornell regularly ms the arrival
OF each frosty Thanksgiving.
All this time Yale and Penn were grow
ing fat and careless from too much VIC
tory. All this time Harvard and Cornell
were learning bitter but valued lessons
from defeat and suffering and hard luck.
You may recalll what has happened in
the last few years since Yale and Penn
began to pay the penalty. You may recall
what has happened-not to Harvard and
Cornell. but to Yale and Penn. II was
the most natural thing In the world. For

DAVE FULTZ IS
SUING CRITIC
FOR $4,000
Jimmy" Sinnott Wrote
Harsh Words About His
Work as Football Official
ON CE BALL PLAYER !

There is hope for the much abused foot
ball official in the future. No longer can
tho newspaper expert" sit In his office
and tell the public all about the poor
work of the arbiter on the gridlron and
get away with it, It's against the law
and the scribe is liable for heavy dam
ages If he Is caught.
All OF which is prelude 10 the story
OF Dave Fultz, lawyer, friend OF baseball
players and football official, in the fall.
Mr.. Fultz was severely criticized for his
work in the Harvard-Penn State game
last October and he considers the knock
worth $4,000. He has sued James p. Sin
mott. of the New York Mail, because of the
unjust criticism"
Here's the Story
This is what the Mail has to say about
IL:
Dave Fultz is suing Jimmy sinnott
for sl0,OOO
Here's hoping he gets It, II Jimmy
has that much money the sporting
page of the Evening Mail hereby de-
clares In.
Dawes grievance is that Sinnott
thought he detected a slight friendli-
ness to Harvard on the part of the Of
ficials at the Harvard-Penn State foot
ball game last November. and said so
sists that this amounted to charging
him with ''incompetency and dishon-
esty In his business and to hold him
up to public scorn and ridicule."
Mr.. Fultz's business, according to the
city directory. is that of attorney-at-
law, Just what the practice Of law
has to do with intercollegiate football
is not set forth in his complaint.
Interviewed by a representative OF the
Evening Mail Mr.. Sinnott said:
Down in Texas
Last time I was down at the Giants
training camp at Marlin, Tex. want
ed some change TO tip the boy that car
ried my bag. An old colored man was
passing by and said TO him:
.'Uncle. let me have change for a $40
dollar bill. will your"
The old man looked at me a minute,
pulled off is hat and made a profound
bow. "'Deed boss l amt got It. but

This is the first time thai have ever

The funny part of 1t is, Mr.. sinE ott
continued. that l 1iCnt even know
Dave Fultz was one OF the officials on
that day until the papers an the law
suit were served on me. All have 10
say Is that II Dave can find $4,000 be-
longing to me 1 am willing to split
fifty-fifty with him
Fultz interviewed
MIR. Fultz was also interviewed. He
maintained that there was nothing per-
sonal IN his bringing the suit but that
the organization OF football officials had
got together and decided they must pro-
tect themselves against unjust criticism
by newspaper reporters"
Mr.. F'ultz did not specify the particular
massive brain in which this wonderful
scheme OF self-protection originated. II
must be admitted however. that IT'S a
wonder So perfectly easy. too.
Sezt thing the baseball umpires will
get together and garnishee the salaries |
OF the ball players who publicly criticize
their decisions. Mr.. Fultz was a profess
eional bah player once himself. Presum-
ably he always accepted the decision OF |
the umpire as exactly fair and just.
It's funny world.
