Red Cross Nurses at Horse Races.
June 12

Red Cross Nurses at Horse Races.
Miss Edna Peterson, daughter Of
President Edward Peterson of the
Omaha Driving club, is a real horse
racing fam" She never misses a
a-chance to see a turf meet and each
fall goes south TO the home of gen.
uine horse-racing to see her fathers
prize-winning animals, compete with
other famous horses on the Kentucky
green. Il can't imagine anything more
wonderful than a good horse race"
she says.
Miss Peterson's patriotism, though,
is of such a brand that she carries
it with her even when she intends
to enjoy her favorite sport. When
the driving club decided to donate all
money above actual expenses TO the
Red Cross she decided to help in
every way possible to make the Red,
Cross sum a large one. Instead Of
allowing men to be hired for ticket
takers and ushers, as was done last
year. she offered her services for the
wor! and enlisted from fifteen to
s twenty OF her friends to do likewise.
III day yesterday they sold tickets
with great success among the busi-
ness men downtown. Today they
made their appearance in Red Cross
costumes at the race track, where
they served as ushers. ticket takers
and everything else that would help
TO cut down the cost Of operating the
course.
The twenty who served today will
be replaced tomorrow by some 9TH
ers, who will in turn ask other friends
to help on Thursday. Miss Peter
son will be on hand each day, working
like the good sportswoman that she
is to make the races a success and
thereby to pile up the dollars for the
Red Cross donation.
The helpers in today's group were
Misses Esther, Irene and Louise Car
ter; Winifred Traylor, Rita and Marie
Chabot, Esther Peterson, Agnes Sin
giles and Frances Robinson and Mes
danes William Schopp, NJ. Peterson,

Alumni Enjoy Picnic.

University of Chicago alumni as
sert that there never was such a
good time as the one they enjoyed
at Summerhil farm. the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Wayland Magee, last Satur'
day. On the program was a women's
chicken race, potato planting and an
egg hunt fo- china eggs. This the
guests decided was unkind, for after
climbing all through the haymows
and hunting all around the barnyard
they felt that they deserved genuine
high-cost-of-liying eggs, instead Of
china limitations.

Politics: Crooked
Half A Haircut

Enos McCracken
went in to Ide Ho TO
have George Hanson
cut his hair as it had
grown so long that it
was hanging over his
eyes. obstructing his
vision and covering his
ears all ost long
enough to braid like a
horses tail.
Hanson went to work
and had Enos' hair
half cut when Enos
spoke up and said:
Twenty five cents is
a good deal to lay out
for a hair cut in these
hard times
Twenty FIVE cents
said Hanson, surprised
"whyt thirty FIVE is what
I charge ordinary, but
beings you have about
five times as much
hair to cut as common,
I'll have to charge you
80 cents.

you are yelled Enos,
climbing out of the
barber chair, "befo' e
I'll pay 80 cents for
a haircut I'll let my
hair grow until it's
long enough to hang
me- He put on his
hat and ran out of the
shop madden than "a

hollered after him
that he'd have to have
25 cents for the half a
haircut but Enos paid
no attention
Enos looks simply

on one side of his head
and none at all on the

side will catch up with
the other in time.
George says that un-
less Enos pays him
that 25 cents he is
going to sue him for
getting a half a hair

that if George does he
will bring suit against
him for dis6guring his

Americas Board
of War Directors

Acting through Daniel Willard, pres.
ident of the Baltimore & Ohio, the
government has so eoordmated the rail
roads of the country that they now
work as one large system, under the
direction of Willard. OF course, it's
breaking the law, for a combination
of this sort to be effected, but right
now the government is not worrying
over d few laws wirich may be benefit
cial, and again may not.
Daniel Willard started in the rail.
road business as track worker. He
has worked in practically every posi-
tion from there to the top.
The coordination Of transportatioE
facilities is vital to the defense of a
nation with an army as small and a
coast line as long as that of the United
States. 1t is this work which Daniel
Willard has recently successfully com
pleted. He now is virtually head of the
entire railroad system of the United
States, some $50. 900 miles.

HEAVYVEIGHTS SHOULD
BE MORE POPULAR
General Impression Prevails
That Heavyweight Is Only
@Slice of Cheese"
By H. @. Hamilton.
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.

tUmted fresS starr correspondent
New, York, July LIT is a strange
thing that the average fight fan OF to-
day is one of the greatest howlers the
world ever saw when mention is made
of heavyweight tangle. The general
impression, following sundry raw exhi.
bitions is that heavyweight nowadays
is a slice of cheese.
As a matter of fact, the record OF
Fred Fulton, the foremost contender fol
Jess Wizards 8 championship, is a great
deal better than the records of some OF
the most popular men who ever fought
as heavyweights.
The record of Jim Jeffries doesn q
carry the awe-inspiring series of knock
outs as does Fulton Is. Robert Fitzsim
mons great record of fights he won by
knockout doesn't compare very well
with Fulton g. and John L. Sullivan Is
record is not to be compared in the
same breath with Fulton's.
Fulton's record shows he has engaged
in thirty-five bouts. OF these he has
won twenty-five by a knockout. Once
he was flattened and he has lost two
bouts on fouls.
Jeffries went to the squared circle
for twenty-one counters, and on seven
occasions ne was returned winner by a
knockout.
Sullivan appeared in thirty-six bat
ties, just one more than Fulton. but he
was able to win only eight of them by
Enockouts.
Fitzsimmons fought forty times. and
won only twenty-three of them with a
finishing punch.
1t may be argued that these champ
ions were meeting far better men than
the average heavyweight of today.
However, it will be freely admitted
that none of them was any better than
Sam Langford, who Fulton has credit
Of knockout over. And Fulton has
barred none of them. He is ready to
meet all of them.
In view of these records it is rather
queer turn of affairs that makes fans
refer to the old days of Fitzsimmons,
Sullivan and Jeffries when the talk
turns to heayyweights.
