Commissioner Of Education Urges Wo-
mems Clubs to Aid. .f

mems Clubs to Aid.
A special appeal to club women and
ministers in the United States has been
issued by the United States Commits
sioner Of Education, Or. p. P. Claxton,
urging that their influence be given to
the maintenance Of the schools Of the
nation in their full efficiency during the
war. DR.. Claxton says:
Everywhere there seems. to- be fear
lest our schools Of all kinds and grades,
and especially the public schools, will
suffer because Of conditions growing
out of our entrance into the war. On
the other hand, both for the present
defense and for the future welfare Of
our country as well as for the indi-
vidual benefit Of the children, it is Of
the greatest Importance that the
schools shall be maintained in their
full efficiency.
While the war continues there will
be many unusual tempta lions to many
kinds Of Juvenile delinquencies Prompt
and regular attendance at school and
proper employment during out Of school
hours will be the children's protection

GOOD PRIzEFIGHTERS AT
NAVAL TRAINING STATION
Champions Must Be Ready to
Meet All Cha|Iengers-Every
!.
One a Fan.

Seasoned scrappers guaranteed to
stand up against any Of the kaiser's
are being turned out by Captain W. a.
Moffett, commandant of the Great
Lakes naval training station, north of
Chicago. OF the $1,000 in training
there, all picked from perhaps $4,000
applicants for perfect physical condi-
ton. scores of first rate boxers have
been uncovered, and the game in the
squared ring is second to none in pop
ularity among the "landsmen for adj
mirals.'
Aspirants are given tryouts upon
merit alone. From the first day in
camp the newcomer is given an oppor-
tunity to try his hand when volunteer
scrappers at all weights are called for.
By elimination the best scrappers in
each class have been discovered. Aft
er proving their ability in the ring
they are given an opportunity to chal-
lenge the champion for his title. Bouts
Of three two-minute rounds each are
held regularly each Tuesday after
noon. A big natural amphitheater
seating 5000 is the scene.
Wilbur Kendall, who halls from Ko-
komo, Ind, is pronounced by Martin
Delaney, director of athletics at the
Chicago Athletic club, one Of the CLASH
est amateur scrappers he has ever
seen. Kendall, a lightweight, was so
far above the rank and file of boxers
at the Lakes that he tired Of success
fully defending his title time after time
and finally "retired,' giving the cham
pionship belt to Naman Favor of Gal
weston, Tex, a boy who had shown the
most class among the aspirants.
Joe Dowd, who received his first
training in the amateur rings Of Nj
agara Falls, N. Y, and Detroit, is hold
ing the featherweight title against all
corners, while Steve Gunshaw of
Wilkesbarre, Pa, is the best Of the ban
tams. Every one is a boxing fan at
the Lakes, from the lowest 'boot" to
Commandant Moffett himself.

Cert'ny Is Some Bunny's Foot!

A rabbits foot will remain the priced
possession Of William Brown, negro
workman, for life, he said, after heavy
autotruck, which he was backing down
a skidway into an excavation for new
building in Ardmore, Pa, turned over
and fell into the hole, Brown beneath it.
The reason he will always keep the rab-
bits foot is that he had it with him at
the time Of the accident and because the
doctors at the Bryn Mawr hospital,
whithsr he was taken by folks who
thought him dead, declared that he was
still as sound as dollar and sent him
back to work.

NEGRO TROOPS FROM } STATE REMEMBERED
Tuskegee Teachers and Students Rais- ing Fund to Send Presents to Men in .owa

Tuskegee, December S-(SpeciaI)
 Instead of giving gifts to friends as in former years, a number of teach CTS of the Tuskegee institute have de- cided to use this money to send con- | tributions to the colored soldiers at | Camp Dodge, Ia., about 90 per cent of whom are from Alabama. Reports state l that because of the extreme cold weather prevailing there. the men are | in special need of heavy wooden sweat l CTS, socks and wristlets, etc. It was l thought that owing to the many de- mands for contributions to other 1 worthy causes that these black men | from Alabama, who have been drafted l to do their bit during this world war, might not be remembered during this Christmas season in any substantial way. by friends in their home state. | This movement to send contribution 1 to the colored soldiers at Camp Dodge 1 instead of making gifts to friends was launched by few of the teachers of the institute getting together and con l tributing $1 each for this purpose. Others of the teachers and many of the students will subscribe to the fund and 1 thus considerable amount will be | sent from the institute.
 l It is hoped that this suggestion to send contributions to the Alabama col ored troops will spread throughout the state and that the colored people gen orally will see that the soldiers of l Camp Dodge are not forgotten during
 their first Christmas in the ranks. Con-
 tributions for these troops should Dc sent care of the commanding officer, 1 the 366th regiment infantry, Camp 1 Dodge. Ia.
