 "The flapper is a source of wor- ry in many places, but in oantonment cities she is large and real prob lem, so much of a problem that she is given special attention by the head of very important part of the govern ment. This head is Raymond B. Eos dick, chairman of the commission on training camp activities. MT Fosdick said recently in discussing the work he is directing:
 There are, of course, many prob lens which are sure to arise in con nection with the locating of camp at any point. One of those which has already come to our attention is the flapper problem. There are a great many young girls who must be taken care of in these communities. They are carried away with admiration for tho soldiers. It sometimes seems as if they become hysterical at the very sight of brass button. They are really innocent girls and vcry young. but it must be remembered that the soldiers are young also. We shall ask the communities in which these camps are located to cooperate with us in looking after these girls

RAISE
ADMISSION And

Complaint has reached the Office of
the internal revenue bureau at Hart

to cover the war tax. This is not al

the amount collected, and the off,
Gals of the Office in Bridgeport are
requested to report any such cases
here at the earliest opportunity.
The tax upon theatre admissions,
each ten cents of the admission price,
or part thereof, and this tax must be
paid by the person entering the thea
ter. Under the ruling Of the revenue
bureau no increase beyond this is
warranted. Prompt report of any
place of amusement which is DELHI
erately incorporating the war tax
is requested.
Most of the theatres in Bridgeport
are collecting the war tax of the pat
rons at the box office windows, and
adding the exact amount of the tax
to the price of the ticket Whether
any here have raised the price to in
clude the tax could not be learned
today. There are some other places
of amusement where there has been
a slight fncrease of price to include
the tax, which gives additional profit
to the management, and this seems to
be against the rulings of the revenue
bureau.

it will be approved by the Picking

France two divisions of Chinese in

men. 1t is intended to place this
force in the second line, and along

Britain's Best HeavyWeights
Have Been Small Men

It is strange but it is true that the
best heavyweights Britain has turned
out in the last half century have all
been small men, weighing little if any
over the midd1eweight limit. Eng
land hasn't had really good big man
since the days of Bill Perry, the Upton
Slasher, away back in the sos, and
he wasn't any wonder. When 1t comes
to pocket edition heavyweights, how
ever, John Bull has nothing to be
ashamed of. The big fellows Of
America have time and again fallen
before the smaller men of the tight
little isle"
zone of the best of these giant kill
ers was Charlie Mitchell. who was
born in Birmingham, England, Sc
years ago today, Nov. "a, 1851.
Mitchell was only 5 feet 9 and weighed
in his fight clothes from 155 to 165
pounds, yet he tackled all corners, re-
CARELESS of size. When he was in his
prime he fought John L. Sullivan 80
rounds to draw at Chantilly,
France, and, in the opinion of many
spectators he had the best of the ar
gument with the Boston gladiator.
Some years later Mitchell was easily
whipped by Jim Corbett at Jackson
vile, but that was after the Birming-
Fham man had lost much of his former
vigor and cleverness through dissi-
patton. Tom Savers, another English
middleweight, standing 5 feet S1s
inches and weighing $50 pounds,
fought his way to the top of the
heavyweight ladder and engaged in a
memorable drawn battle with the
giant John C. Heenan, the American
champion.
Jem Mace was still another little
| Englishman who conquered the big
gest and brawniest of American
scrappers Jem, who was part gypsy,
whipped big Sam Hurst, the Staley-
| bridge Infant, and other big men of
| his own country, and then came to
America and cleaned up Tom Allen
