WILLARD WILL De
FORCED TO FIGHT

NEW YORK, May 21.-Jess Willard
has not met an opponent in the ring
for more than year.
Willard has spent his time travelling
around over the country with circus,
drawing a huge salary through the
power of his name, showing the peoole
how he knocked out Jack Johnson and
brought back the title to the white
race.
Tom Jones, the barber, has travelled
with big Jess and has spent most of his
time assuring the newspapers that Jess
would fight whenever the opponent was
found who could stand in. the same ring
with Jess without melting from pure
fright at merely beholding the huge
bulk of the worlds heavyweight cham
pion.
John L. Sullivan, James j. Corbett,
Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeffries, and
even Jack Johnson must have chuckl-
ca themselves almost into hysteria by
this time by the mere consideration of
such a Champion champion who
dares not, or refuses to fight.
Willard is wrong when he says there
| is no one worthy of a match with
him. Even though he is backed by
Tom Jones, Jack Curley and the rest of
them he is wrong. Not only is there
ore man who could be acceptable for a
match with the champion. but there are
at least two.
Willard has contented himself by
turning down the insistence of Carl
Morris by the assertion that Morris is
no card. Morris" he suayely de-
clared. would not draw a house OF
$4,000"
Absolutely wrong. A championship
match between Jess Willard and Car
Morrison a championship match be-
tween Jess Willard and almost any
| eavyweight that could be named would
draw an enormous crowd. The only
thing the public would ask would be to
! hope that the promoters considered
their tastes enough to stage the affair
somewhere outside New York or Wis
cOusin-where a decision would settle
disputes before they started.
! Fred Fulton would be good oppon-
ent for the champion. 1t isn't any
thing to smoker about. Fred Fulton or
{ Carl Morris either would make the fate
and incompetent champion step rather
lively to keep the gilt on his crown
from being furnished It's about time
he began to show signs of life. The
fight fans want it. He can't hold off
much longer-and he'd better grab be-
! fore the grabbing gets TOO not for him.

FAINT VESSELS TO SAVE THEM
FROM THE SUBMARINES

NEW YORK, May 21-To save
steamers from destruction by submar-
ines, experiments have been made off
the Atlantic coast in the reduction of
visibility of vessels by new methods OF
CT painting their hulls, it is announced.
The results, it is claimed, show that
tie vessels when painted by the new
method cannot be seen more than about
half the distance at which they would
be visible if painted in the ordinary
manner. The experiments have been
conducted. by Lewis Hertzog, an artist
and member of the New York Yacht
club. The new method of painting was
not made public.

The girl who is pretty enough, or
has the poise to carry off extremes Of
style, may go to any length she likes
in her inconsequential little fineries, to
be worn within her own four walls.
Certainly the new boudoir caps, just
now beginning to blossom in the shops,
in anticipation of autumn weddings
and the holidays, will delight the maid
who is looking for unusual things. De-
signers seem to have searched the
wide. wide world for Inspirations
and they have brought many captives
home to Rome.
There is the coolie hat from China,
translated into lustrous ribbon and
lace, the Dutch cap, the head band
that is a bequest of old Greece, the
visor cap, suggesting a Jockeys head
wear and the oriental cap with lace
that covers the eyes, which must have
come from India or Arabia Or other
where homes of yelled ladies. 1t is
shown In the picture, made of pink

ing a sort of hood. 1t is bordered with
lace, with. q fine wire set In a hem
along its lower edge and a strand of
pearl beads outlining both edges of the

Proper Way to Air Hair.

To air the hair take out all the pins
and shake the. hair loose. Stand be-
fore an open window, shaking the hair
until 1t has been thoroughly aired.
Then arrange it for the night. Never
let IL remain massed on the head. This
will soon take all the life and fine tex
ture from it. Instead, part 1t in the
middle of the forehead down to the
neck and make two loose braids OF 1t,
each beginning just behind the ears.
This will divide the hair so thoroughly
that the scalp at the middle, usually
covered, win be free and may be well
aired.
