NORTH CAROLINA To
HELP WAR COUNTRIES

ASHEVILLE, N. c., July 22.-In
order that the smallest boy or girl
or any man or woman, no matter what
their means of livelihood are, can con-
tribute their mite to the aid OF the
suffering women and children OF the
Kingdom of Grief" Belgium and
Northern France, the North Carolina
commission for relief in Belgium an
nounces today that seals of mercy will
be placed on sale in all sections of the
United States. These seals, which
were designed by the Secretary of the
North Carolina Commission, and au-
thorized by the National Commission
in New York, are of similar size to
the Red Cross seal.
Occupying the center of the seal are
flags of the United States and Belgium,
with the words Seal of Mercy" AMI
Kingdoms of Grief above, an
Americas Sympathy" below. The
seals sell for one cent, and the funds
derived from their sale will be devot-
ed to the feeding and clothing of the
women and children who, owing to the
great European war, are suffering un
told miseries. They can be placed on
letters or mail packages of any kind,
the same as the Red Cross seals are
used. Seven seals will bring in
enough money to feed one woman or
child a day, according to the announce
ment of the Commission.

BOY AND THE BROOK.

This season of the year is delight
to the small boy The good old sum-
mer time. Vacation time. Free and
Independent, he goes and comes at
will, with but little to mar or modest
his pleasure. Who is it that does not
remember, and with pleasure, the days
when he was small boy?
1t is only the boy that knows what
q brook or creek really is, and espec
tally the brook, as it flows underneath
the bridge, and the deep pool nearby.
The grown-up man goes over it in
wagons, buggies, motor cars, on horse
back or a-foot, but to him it is a brook
under bridge-nothing more. But
to the boy it is something else. He
turns aside from the road down
through a tangle of blackberry vines,
amid tall ferns, and soon perches him
self in the fork of a willow tree that
bends its limbs to brown, peaty water.
He is at home in his surroundings,
and if he is fortunate enough to be
barefooted, he dips his toes in to see
how cold it is. He notes the swirl Of
the current, and the little overfoW5
which are like patterns raised on the
surface of the water like master
hand at painting. He hears the
brooks song as well as the catbird's
ditty from among the tree tops. He
looks under the bridge and sees the
shining pool and the myriads of mel
low bugs and mosquito hawks as
they dart around and fly about. Sedge
and watergrass are his companions on
the washed sand by the willow trees.
He sees the trout leap and the min
nows swim around near the surface Of
the water He hears the occasional
croak of the frogs and feels the gem
tile breeze as it comes creeping
through the branches of the trees at
the streamside.
Yes, the small boy is a species of
dynamic combinations. He is fisher
man, hunter, explorer and citizen in a
world of adventure and romance, and
in which he has no means of sharing,
except by sympathetic silence in COM
ranionship with another small boy-a
fellow adventurer of his own age. 1T
is world in which even his mother
and sister cannot enter.
Yea, who would not be small boy
again, if he could?

WEASEL WORDS.

Roosevelt the maker of epigrams and

coinage of the phrase Weasel
Words" The phrase was used some
sixteen years ago, but recently in ore
of his pre-convention speeches Roose-
welt used the words and straightway he
got credit for coming a new one. And,
had it not been for some one with e

I know them well, said George,
and mighty useful they are, too. Al!
though the old gentleman couldn't
write much of a platform, he's an ex-
pert on weaseling. I've seen him take
his pen, and go through a proposed
plank or resolution, and weasel every
flat-footed word in it. Then the wea-

that's been weaseled pleases another"

ONE PUNCH RE|N5TATES KIBANE;;
NEW YORK EAGER FOR HIM NOW
He Can Clean up $4,000 $4,000 This Winter if He
= Accepts All the Bouts Offered Him. It Appears; .
Bout Between Kibane and Welsh Is Discussed
Though Welsh Is Much Heavier.
BY Frank G. MEME.

1EW YORK, Oct. 1s-That six
IN inch punch which Jonathan Kill
baue eased upon the jaw of one
p George Clancy has made the Irishman
a reigning favorite again and has re-
stored him to the ranks Of the big
money makers.
Just before that Clancy affair, Kill
hane was about as popular with the
fight fans as the Giants used to be
in the bygone days He was referred
TO as a lemon picker, a staller, piker
echampion. a grand dancer-and moth
NEg more. In the era which immed-
lately preceded that Cedar Point bout,
kilbane was having a hard time OF II
getting $1,000 or so for his fights. That
was because the fans had become dis
. gusted with his work and the pro-
NnOters. as a natural consequence,
wouldn't pay him any real money
Kilbane fairly stunned the fighting
world by knocking out Clancy His
supporters figured he might Outpoint
him. but none never thought he would
score a knockout. They thought the
Cleveland Irishman lacked the neces-
sary wallop. But he crossed the
folks when he crossed that short stab
TO Chaney's dome, and now the pro-
S1oters are battling among themselves
n trying TO hire him out for their va
rfous clubs
Il In Demand Now.
kllbane has been offered dozen
different fights for the coming winter,
and each carried with IL a big guar
antee. The chances are that the
champion will shake down the pro-
rnoters for $4,000 TO $4,000 during
the six months. provided he accepts all
the bouts that have been pushed At
him Also. he has a chance TO sharing
Sbout 1900 additional shekels II that
slhlked of match with Freddie Welsh
ever goes through
Kilbane today is the outstanding
man in his division. When he sent
Clancy into the land Of snoOze, he
disposed of his only formidable rival
Of course. there are dozen other boys
who think they have a chance with the
title holder and who may get II before
the snOwflakes cease TO fit over this
nation But Kilbane isn't in much
dAnger of losing his crown until better
dpes than those Of today rise up TO
give him battle.
And that's all the more reason why
the fans are anxious for him TO try
conclusions with Welsh The kilbane
partisans feel that their boy can beat
Welsh, despite the big weight handicap
~ must cOncede- They reason that
EfIbaue is Welsh's equal as a boxer,
that he is even a better ring general
and that he can hit as hard as Welsh.
But could Kilbane spot Welsh 13

TO Is pounds and have a fair chance
for victory Kilbane can make 120
and did make il for Clancy. He showed
then that he fights better at I20 than
he did around I26 and 12S. Welsh. on
the other hand, cannot do better than
Is and does his best work around 135
SO, if both men met at catch weights,
il would mean Kilbane, 120. and Welsh
135-a huge difference for men Of their
size
There isn't much doubt as TO the
drawing power of such a bout. al
although some folks would be skep-
teal as TO the quality Of the battle
Both men have stalled greatly in the
past but II is unlikely they would do
IL in such a scrap. Too much would
be at stake. Both men would do their
utmost TO win hilbane wouldn't dare
10 loiter with a master like Welsh, es-
pecially in face of the big handicap in
weight which he was giving Welsh,
on the other hand, probably would
fight his hardest, knowing il would
lessen greatly his prestige il a lighter
man beat him up.
And so. If both men fought as best
they knew how, it ought TO be a hum

and most scientific in many, many
