Be Prepared to Meet TroubIe.

There is serious side to life as well
as carefree one. The average mother

press upon her family the wisdom OF
being prepared to meet whatever trou.
Bile comes into the home.
Everyone has his or her burdens tc
bear. and the old-fashioned habit OF
coming forward and making collections
for persons in trouble isn't In vogue
these days. 1t is good thing, too, that
times have changed, for no one need be
dependent upon public or private char

edges his or her responsibilities and
uses the proper means to meet them
AS rule IL is always the extravagant
and unsystematic person who has to
call for aid; but the woman who looks
at life from a business standpoint
who assumes her responsibilities-is
always independent and never finds II
necessary to seek assistance from
others. ..

Since It has been recognized that
the owl is beneficial bird, econom-
ically important as a destroyer of
rats, mice and gophers, there is an
increasing tendency to restore Its
classic significance. Like many poo
pie Of deliberate manner and few
words, owls are not as wise as they
look. They are quite easily caught
in traps. In case the barn in which
the owls make their home catches fire
the owls usually burn to death. They
get along very well in captivity when
they are comfortably housed and fed
either mice or a variety Of food, but
they cannot live on q diet Of raw pork
or beef.

AMERICANS ARE
BEST SWIMMERS
6Rx Associated Prsss.l

New York, March 9.-The record
breaking performances OF American
swimmers at the recent aquatic car
nival at Honolulu call attention anew
to the remarkable Improvement made
by Americans in this department OF
sport in the past few years. Three new
worlds records were established dur
ing the course OF one days racing
with the result that more than fifty
per cent of the standard records are
now held by swimmers Of the states
or Hawaii.
All told there are thirty-three
standard events which carry worlds
countries where the sport is popular
and high speed swimmers developed.
These events range from fifty yards or
about the equivalent in meters to two
miles and are divided into bath or in
door pool contests and open water
competitions. In the bath class eigh-
teen events are listed while fifteen
are found in the open water division.
This list does not take into account
odd distances, swimming on the back,
plunge for distance and similar con-
tests.
OF the three new records made. two
displaced times previously held by
American swimmers but when Ludy
LANCER Of Los Angeles, CAL, won the
440-yards event in minutes II 3-5
seconds, he broke a record that has
stood on the books for some years to
the credit OF the great Australian ex-
pert Kieran. The latter's time over
the quarter mile course in the Anti
podes was minutes 20 1-5 seconds.
Although America now has a clear
lead in the total of records, Australia
is a good second with England, Can
ada and Germany trailing. The fol-

HIS VISIT
LIKELY TO
BE FIZZLE
Darcy's Affairs Muddled by
Incompetent Management
Since He Hit the u. S.

Chicago, March 9.-Unless Lester
Darcy, Australia's champion, gets hep
to himself his American invasion is
likely to prove fiasco instead of a
trip which would pour golden shekels
into his Golfers.
Darcy has made a good impression
personally everywhere he has been,
but the muddle into which his affairs
have been permitted to fall because OF
his lack Of competent manager rap
idly is putting him into disrepute.
When Darcy landed in the United
advice against the American manager,
he was loaded with cautions that he
must expect to be skinned out of his
eye teeth if he hired some one to
handle his affa irs. and in his kid in
experience he decided he would handle
his own affairs like he always had
done back home. Whether he knew it
or not, Snowy" Baker really was his
manager in Australia at that. Darcy
was his one big drawing card. and
when Darcy made money. so did Ba-
ker. Baker saw to 1t that Darcy made
good matches. that he continued a
favorite, and that he won.
Makes Many 5lunders.
With the Baker influence lacking
when he reached this country, Darcy
was at sea. but he didn't realize 1t. He
couldn't see that with an honest
American manager. one who knew the
ms and outs Of the game here, he
would realize his ambition and rake in
the coin and perhaps title.
As result Darcy has blundered in
SO many instances, as witness the
mixup in Wisconsin. where he mar
rowly escaped being barred. although
he never had shown in this country.
and In New York. where Al MCCoy's
standing was in doubt when Darcy
signed to meet him. With a good man
ager at the helm. these things could
not have happened.
When the time comes for Darcy to
prepare for clash with the phantom
like Mike Gibbons OF st. Paul. he will
have reason TO congratulate himself
that he has the services OF Fred Gill
more to fall back upon. Gilmore was
connected with Gibbons for some time.
knows his style and ring tactics and q
lot Of inside facts about him, and
should prove invaluable to Darcy. AS
q clever exponent OF boxing, iGlmore
has few equals in this country. and
had he displayed the nerve Of some
a clever exponent Of boxing Gilmore
pionship class he would have proved
himself a second Mike Gibbons or
Packey Mcfarland.
Needs Clever Boxers.
Darcy will need clever boxing II he
hopes to get close enough to Gibbons
to put over the sleep producing punch.
Which does not mean that Gibbons Is
q boxer pure and simple. despite pop
uIar impression. His record 10 lib
orally sprinkled with X. o. marks-23
to be exact-since he got into the
limelight in 1908.
Whether the Gibbons-D Darcy fight
takes place in Milwaukee under the
chaperonage Of Frank Mulkern or not,
that promoter is going ahead with his
plans as IL he were certain Of the go.
He IL circulating among the fight
fans Of Chicago and surrounding ter
ritory cards which contain pledges to
purchase so many tickets to the con-
test, payable ten days in advance Of
the bout. And Mulkern is taking no
chance-he has a place for witness
to sign, too.
