INHERITED TEMPERS
HAT tendency to bad temper runs in families is tn
 contention of Mr G. DavennOrt writing in the POpl

THAT tendency to bad temper runs in families is the
 contention of MT. c. Davenport writing in the Popu
 lar Science Monthly He gives diagrams to prove that 1t may even be dominant trait In family the vio lent temper ran through five generations.
 Mr. Davenport extends hope, however, to the af fcted inhertors By close attention to health getting enough sleep, taking prolonged soothing baths, and quring the habit of ignoring irritating situations, they may be able to help themselves little.
 strong case may be made out for inheritance. But educators discovering that many of the habits and tendencies once thought inherited in reality merely picked up by imitation Children almost incredibly initiative. Expressions tones of voice. characteristic poses and moods are repeated by them in mirror Temper one of the traits most likely to be thus acquired for two reasons First there the natural tendency to copy. father rageS and and throws things, the child will do likewise Besides this anger means inhar mony breeds anger. It takes sefcOntrOl than any little child possesses to give the soft answer which turneth away wrath father rages if mother becomes irritable and fretty the chds passions will be reused He will stamp his foot at father-and if whipped in anger will but resolve to get in the future. When nagged at by mother he will sulk and whine.
 If an adult has-whether by heredity or environment or ilEheath lack of training in control-managed to acquire that inexcusabe vice. habit of violent temper he need not pass to his offspring If he will adopt the odfashioned rule of counting 20 before he speaks 100 be- fore he acts when the fit comes on he will save himself remorse, and his children from his affliction.
 Fresh air. proper food and sleep will help The tempery child is probably getting too much sugar and too little out door play Or too little sleep and too much movies-whch hard growing eyes and nerves antrum does not call for whipping, but for swift undressing bath milk and nap in darkened, wellaired room.

ARCTIC GOLD

A SWEDISH explorer named Christian Leden has re-
 "A turned from the Arctic with wonderful story of A mineral riches says the Wallace, Idaho, Press northwest of Hudson bay where there was so much pe troleum that the whole land smeed of it. Still more in teresng is his account of mysterious mountain of gold where strata of reddshyeow rock lie exposed to view with the gold thick and pure that it hardly needs refn ing. In proof of his story he brought back harpoon head of hammered gold and several specimens of rich gold bearing Quartz Also the assurance of old Eskimo that his grandfather, who had od-fashioned large bore g used to shoot yellow bullets that he hammered of the rock.
 It probable that there are deposits richer than those of Alaska far up under the northern lights There isn't much likelihood however of an immediate rush to the gold fields They are so inaccessible that Leden himself failed to reach them and party of Eskmos that he sent there underwent terrible hardshps and lost nearly all their specimens the way back Butsometme with the progress of transportation the race may find and utilize vast stores of wealth hidden behind the eternal ice and hardly dreamed of by white adventurers.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The house judiciary committee today voted to recommend adoption of the resolu- ton to submit constitutional amend ment forbidding the manufacture and sale of liquor for beverage purposes in the United States. Even the most enthusiastic champions of the amend ment had not expected favorable ac- tion so soon from the committee, which at the last session voted to post pone it's consideration indefinitely.
 Administration leaders, however, doubt that it will reach the senate in time for action this session. Prohibi- tion advocates are jubilant and predict ultimate adoption of the resolution and reference of the amendment to the legislatures of the various states at much earlier date than they hereto fore had hoped. A two-thirds ma jority in both houses is required.
 Coincident with the committees ac- tion on the amendment, the prohibition issue was brought directly to the at tention of the senate when the Shep- pard bill to prohibit the manufacture and sale of liquor in the District of Columbia became the unfinished busi- ness to be kept before the senate until disposed of. As an amendment to this bill, Senator Underwood has proposed a referendum to the male voters of the District. Senator Kern of Indiana has added a proposal that women also should participate in the referendum.
 Sentiment in the senate for and against the referendum appears to be closely divided with vote expected within day or two.

BE A FRESH AIR CRANK

M HEN the annual grip epidemic hits us we always w blame it the cold weather and go on suffering
 from the disease and spreading as far as possible That there about three times as many deaths from pneumonia bronchitis colds and grip in the winter as in the is not to be blamed the temperature The main lies in the fact that shut our windows as winter approaches and open them all too rarely until spring returns Fresh air is the big safeguard against all these throat and lung diseases and it the thing we deny ourselves from November to May.
 What ought to do right now before the winter is day farther advanced is to become fresh air cranks Open windows drive out stale diseaseaden air. sleep with windows open walk much in the open air as time permits us.
 It isn't particularly hard or heroic to be crank once we get used to it. And the results are so beneficial and pleasant that we soon wonder how we ever came to dread the fresh air in the winter.

HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
 FAVORS NATIONAL PROHIBITION

the proposed amendment and several senators, among them Sheppard, Var daman and Owen, predicted triumph for the cause of nationwide prohibi- tion in the near future.
 Hardly anyone doubted tonight that prohibition will be dominant legisla- tive issue before the new sixty-ffth congress, if the constitutional amend ment does not reach vote this win ter. In the house before the amend ment can be taken up for consideration special rule must be adopted giving it right of way.
 Representative Webb, chairman of the judicairy committee, will ask for such a rule early in January and en- deavor to press the resolution to an early vote.
 Seven members of the judiciary committee voted against reporting the prohibition amendment. They were Gard of Ohio, Dyer of Missouri, Igoe of Missouri, Graham and Steele of Pennsylvania, Walsh of Massachus- etts and Danforth of New York. Rep resentatives Williams of Illinois and Carlin of Virginia, who were opposed to the resolution at the last session, voted this time to recommend it's adoption.
 President Wilson was urged late to- day by Rev. Clarence T. Wilson, rep resenting the Methodist conference board, to use his influence with con- gress to prohibit the use of the mails for the sending of liquor advertise ments by unlicensed liquor dealers. An effort is being made to have such a provision included in the postoffice bill.

Miami, Florida, March 24.-That

who visited the Braves camp yester-

DR.. Charles J. WheIan is here to see

trip through the south. He is an old
friend of President Haughton and is
coach of the football eleven at ,rr<ts.
He took a look at Bill James arm,

as was possible without the use of X

man anything like as good the
great Irishman was in his prime.
1t was McAuliffe's physical build
that gave him the edge over all other
lightweights. He had the body of a
niddleweight, just as Bob Fitzsim-
mons, a nidd1eweight, was built in
his upper works like a giant heavy
weight. That sort of build is not de-
sirable for the ordinary man, and it is
lacking in the symmetry which is the
ideal of the sculptor and painter, but
it gives a boxer a great advantage
over his foes.
The daddy of the lightweights
hasn't very high opinion of modern
boxers. He declares that the majority
of them are mere s1uggers, and that
they use little headwork and general
ship in their battles. The few who
do use their heads, he complains, use
little else. and devote all their clever
ness to avoiding punishment and win
ming on points. McAuliffe was reared
in a rugged school, and took part in
many a long and bloody contest with
the raw 'uns or with skin gloves.

note. They batt1ed in Maryland about
half a century ago. In the '70s the
title was claimed by Joe Collyer of
England and Billy Edwards and Ar
thur Chambers in America. Johnny
Clarke, Charlie Norton, George Full
james, Jimmy Mitchell, Harry Gilmore
and Jack Dempsey later battled as
lightweights, but it remained. for Jack
McAu1iffe to establish a real claim to
the lightweight championship, and the
dynasty of lightweight kings begins
with him.
In the opinion of as good a judge
of boxing as Charlie White, the ttOld
Eagle Eye of American referees, Nc
Auliffe has never been equalled in
skill and general boxing ability by any
of his successors on the lightweight
throne.
"McAuliffe, the first man to hold
the lightweight title,'' says Charlie,
"to my mind was the greatest all
around fighter the class has ever
SEEN"
McAuliffe was more scientific
boxer than his successor, George La
vigne, and the latter, great and game
as he was, lacked the height and
reach to rank as the lightweight
champion of champions Frank Erne,
the next man to bold the title, was
McAu1iffe's equal in cYeverness, but
not the possessor of, as good a punch.
Joe Cans was more scientific than
either McAuliffe or Erne, but in game
ness and durability and punching
power and stamina he fell far short
of McAu1iffe. Battling Nelson, Ad
Wolgast and Willie Ritchie would
have looked like duI,s if pitted against
McAuliffe at his fighting best. The
Dane has probably never had an equal
as assimilator of punishment. but
that about let's him out when it comes
to comparing him with the daddy of
lightweights. WO1gast and Ritch1e
are and never were McAuIiffe's peers
in any department of the game. In
his own peculiar style of boxing Fred
die Welsh is a master, but it is safe to
predict that all his wonderful clever
ness would be of no avail against a
