left and right as the gong sounded but he lacked the punch to do any damage.
 Both boys looked fresh and able to go longer distance as .they shook hands before the final round. There was considerable time used in spar ring. Mckenna was using his left as bait to pull Burke on but the Gros- venornale lad had learned his lesson and there was nothing doing. He made the MechanicsviIle boyieome to him and he did but the last round sd world of sports
 lacked the pep that had gone on for the first five sessions. McKenna landed seversl times but there was no steam behind the blows. Burke got in one or two to the body but nothing happened that was of note.
 This is the,second time these boys have met and it will take a longer ar gument 10 deside which has it on the other to the satisfaction of the fans. It .was the unanimous opinion that the bout was Mckenna's on points all the way but what might happen at the end of say, eight or ten rounds, is only matter of conjecture.
 Matchmaker Demefs takes pleasure in announcing the following attract  i've card for Friday evening, Novem- Der 17th, in FoTesters' hail. Those who know these boys can see at a glance that there wil be some fast bouts.

VARIED STYLES IN COLLARS
Designs Are Many, but the Big Ones Seem to Be the Most Gen.
 eraily Favored.

Cape, fichu, sailor, cavalier and Eton collars are all worn. Fichus have q V opening, reach to the waistline back and front and are excessively trimmed. Cape collars are sheer, often hand embroidered, with revers and high-roll effects. High turnovers with winglike sides starched very stiff are tailorlike. Stiff linen collars with cuffs are smart. Pique and linen col lars have pointed wings and a high turned-over band with a surah tie. These ties are used in pretty effects. One of black surah has a fancy plait- ed buckle midway, terminating at the waistline with cluster of many loops. with three tiny buttons just above.
 A large organdie cape collar has. a high-roll back and revers edged with tiny lace, the ends of the re- vers being knotted with a bunch of flowers. Capes of net or batiste, hand embroidered, are worn with silk or voile frocks. Net fichus are edged with plaited frills and held by a bow at the waist both back and front. Fichus of silk crepe. net or soft batiste are worn with silk frocks. Square sailor collars of fine organdie, with one or more hems of delicate coral pink or blue, are worn with a windsor tie in stripes Starched linen collars are worn with fine lingerie waists. Wing effects are still worn standing out orr very high.
 Cromwell collars of organdie, daint- fly embroidered. are sometimes laid over a plain piece of organdie or heavy lace or plain material, with edges hem stitched. Henry II collars of trans- parent fabrics are boned to keep them erect. Those of heavy material when starched keep in shape after shaping with the iron
 A star-shaped collar has deep points and sections of cross tucks in white, and another of star shape is in plain colors.
 Malines and ribbon ruffs have few flowers added for ornament, and os- trfch used as tassels or ribbon loops and ends. Marabou ruffs have ribbon ends. Small velvet or silk capes when trimming coat are frequently finish ed with a malines neck run.

THoMPSoN-The attendance for the month has been good. No school fell below sl per cent. and all but three stood above 9l per cent. Eight schools stood above S5 per cent. and two above s9 per cent. The banner goes this time to the North Grosvenordale h. termediate school which had 99 5 per cent. The North Grosvenordale Gram mar stood second with 99.2 per cent. East Thompson took third place hay ing 97.2 per cent.
 Regular and prompt attendance Is a great help to the schools and we ap- preciate the effor, parents are taking to have their children regular in at- tendance.
 Efforts are going forward to improve the heaiing conditions and to this end stoves have been jacketed in Wesi Thompson, Brandy Hill and New Boston. The same arrangements are to be made for East Thompson and Mechanicsville. In many of the schools pupils have suffered from the cold during the winter term and the changes which are being made will make II possible for all to keep com- fortable in the coldest weather.
 A recitation room has been added to the East Thompson school and an as- sistant teacher, Miss Ruth Bates of Woodstock, will work with Miss Whitman. This will make il possible for the pupils of this school to make much better progress.
 Parent meetings have been held in East Thompson, Thompson Hill and New Boston schools and meetings are arranged for in North Gfosvenordale and Qusdic for Nov. 7th and 9th re- speetively. These meetings are in the interest of forming parents clubs in connection with each school in the town.
 We are glad 10 be able to report that the schools are making good progress.

Says Son Qeranded

LOS ANGELES, Feb 2.-'I think there is no doubt that my son is de- ranged This statement was made here tonight by M. L. Severy, father of Harold L. Severy, the young man who is under arrest in Albany, N. Y in connection with the shooting of four persons in that city last Friday night.
 MT. Severy said he had been un- able to communicate directly with his son during the last or 3 years, but about sources.
 He said his son suffered an injury to his head several years ago when he was made the victim of a hazing party, while an art student in Boston.
 "HaIRld was sent to a sanitarium at Waverly, Mass, after he was in jured,' MT. Severy said. Later he Vermont, from which he escaped. That was or years ago. Since then I have been unable to communicate with him directly
 Mir. Severy was unable to remember the location of the sanitarium in Vermont He said he had asked a man in New York city who knew of his son Harold's movements to go to Albany to take up the young mans case with the police. He de- clined to give the name of the man. Mir. Severy thought he probably had arrived in Albany.

TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.-Portland, Ore, virtually isolated tonight by req son of the prostration of telephone and telegraph wires, received the news of the world through the Associated Press by an ingenious method.
 When the wires failed, resort was had here to the Federal Wireless com pany, which has a station at Portland. It developed, however, that the equip ment there had been so badly damaged by the Sleet storm that it was possible only for the station to receive" Un- able to send" Portland could not ex change messages with the San Fran cisco office with regard to adjusting it's instruments to the exact wave length for which the San Francisco in- struments were keyed.
 It chanced however, that between Portland and Spokane the Western Union had one shaky telegraph wire working spasmodically for the trans mission of important messages only. Over this wire, the Portland Federal operator was enabled to direct the Federal office here as to the length of the wave desired, with the result that soon the sending instruments were tuned" up with the receiving and the news report thereafter moved without interruption.
