How Gerhart Steffen Would Look
If He Kept On Camouflaging

Willie Richie, boxing in
structOr at Camp Lewis, has
gone in for camOuflage. That
Is, he has thus far camou-
flaged himself to the extent
of dropping his ring name and
going about camp under his
real name of Gerhart Steffen.
So our artist has decided
he'd help Willie to go one
step further. He shows you
how the ex-lightweight champ
would look IL he raised a cOu-
pie of mutton chops on his
map.
Richie has abandoned his
professional name for most
unusual reason. Officers
were afraid that some of the
ambitious white hopes around
Camp Lewis might try to
knock Willie's block off to
gain a reputation, thus de-
priving the rest of the boys of
their boxing masters valua-
BILE instruction.
Now Willie isn't worrying
much about anyone slipping
him haymaker, but he be-
lieyes in safety first.
So the name of Willie
Richie is taboo at Camp
Lewis.

Origin of BARRIERS Proven
In Geraldine F'arrar's Film

The early Aztecs had complete
barber shops, with the exception
of the striped pole and the boot
black hundreds of years before the
arrival of Cortez. In place Of the
steel razor BARRIERS used pieces of
obsidian, a species of feldspar,
with which they moved the bris-
ties from the chins of the Aztecs.

the Colonial attraction all this
week, and is an elaborate story of
the Aztec days.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The
greatest football team In the
world!
That's what eastern critics are
saying about the wonderful grid
iron machine developed by ex-
Captain Cupid Black of Yale
among his comrades at arms at
the Newport naval station.
Four members of Walter
Camps All-American teams, two
former All-Western men and 9TH
|er stars of scintillating brilliance
make up the team.
The All-Americans are Black,
himself, who will play left guard
and captain the outfit, Schlachter
Of Syracuse, who will play right
guard, Gerrish of Dartmouth, a
halfback, and Charley Barrett, the
greatest backfield man ever pro-
duced at Cornell will play the
other half.
Other stars are Elwood of
Notre Dame, left end; Paisley,
Michigan, left tackle; Callahan,
Yale, center; Dunn, Michigan

The general impression is that
BARRIERS were introduced into
America by the Spaniards and
later by the French and English
settlers of the early days, but the

ton, 1.-THE Woman God Forgot"

in school are Charley Murray, If

There have perhaps been
stronger teams organized-prob-
ably some of the all-star aggrega-

scarcely any practice and were
compelled to rely on individual

build up a system of team work
that will be hard to rival.

CHARITIES BOARD
 WILL INSURE IT'S
 TW0AMBULANCE

Owing to the frequent collisions between automobiles in Bridgeport the Bridgeport Board of Charities at a meeting held late yesterday after noon decided to- take out insurance against collision on the two ambu- lances of the department. They are already insured against other dam age. It will cost about $350 to place insurance upon both machines.
 Recently the smaller ambulance was injured while responding to a call by dropping into an excavation in Bar mum avenue made by the Connecticut Co. The driver asserted 1t was un- guarded, the Connecticut Co. has ac- cepted the responsibility and will pay the bill of about $150 for damage done. ->D
 Decision to furnish the inmates of Hillside home with a chicken dinner, Thanksgiving day, was reached, and preparations for a feast on the -na- tional holiday will be made.
 Invitation was extended to the In- tercity Conference of Social Workers of Connecticut to hold the next meet ing at Hillside Home in this city.
 Some routine business was transact ed, and a preliminary survey made of the needs of the department for the coming year on which to base an estimate of the appropriation.

SNAKES so BUSY SAVING FOOD ANNUAL SHOW
 IS DECLARED OFF
Army Cantonuaezsts Find Snakes Bet ter Than Oats to Run Off Rats and 6 Busy GnaaDe in a Granary is Ret ter Than Dozen Traps.

Washington-The annual snake show is off for this year at least, for the snakes are so busy helping save the food supply of the country that 1t has beenf decided to postpone the bench show of the American Snake Fanciers' Association scheduled for Rochester, N. '. tn January.
 This is the decision of Peter Gru- Der, the Snake King, following the announcement of the American For estry Association that snakes kill Po- dents and insects that would do crop damage into the millions every year. The last bench show was held. in Grand Central Palace, New York, in 1893, and the fancters had been ulak- ing big plans for the show this year.
 At Army cantonments it has been found that snakes are better than cats for ridding the place of rats," says Mr., Gruber, land a busy snake in @ Granary is worth a dozen rat traps. It would be treason to3 deprive the coun- try of this great source of food con- servat!on at this time and am very glad the American Forestry Associa- ton is calling attention to the value of snakes and exploding a lot of myths and popular beliefs about them."

 Where so much, has gone against Italy it would seem that even the Tagliamento has played her false. The enemy, however, has not yet been able to push farther than the bridgehead of Pinzano, and it will be materially difficult for him to bring uIA his in vading strength for some tirAe. The fighting around the river has hot been on a great scale. If the Austrians have crossed it, 1t has been largely because they had to do with troops desperately fatigued.
 ''The situation Is changing some what The Italians hS1e been re- victua1led and have kad some rest. There are many signs that their power of resistance is rising. The morale of the men has improved and the arrival of some Allied comrades Is all that is needed to turn the so1- diers again into stubborn resisting force.'
 Reiterating that the eventuality of an enemy crossing of the Tagliamento had been foreseen, the correspondent adds that holding the river has not been an essential of the Italian com mander's plans.
