The Next UJpheayal.

Unless we have slipped a calendaric
cog. Jess Willard gathered in his title
two years ago last April.
Since that time. q matter Of nearly
two years and a half the champion has
exhibited his wares in exactly and pre-
cise1y 80 minutes. so far as actual
sparring was concerned.
Willard was not kid, even then.
He hasn't grown any younger since.
And while there have been various
and sundry attempts leading to an
outbreak, not even the most thick
skinned of all the promoters could
quite go that far with the rival ma
tcrial at hand as an antidote.
First mention was made of Jack
Dillon. Then 1t was Carpenter; then
Fred Fulton, and then Carl Morris.
But the expected demand from the
public failed to develop. The atti-
tudc of the public was one of growing
calmncss.
But the signs are now ripe that Mr..
Willard would desire at least one more
personal encounter at so much per en-
count. And there Is a hazy rumor
afloat that n Mr.. Morris and Mr..
Fulton will be booked for one more
jamborcc, the winner again to test the
public demand for a Willard battle.
There were times when 1t would
have worked with abandon. But Just
at present there is "a fight under way
5000 miles distant which Is occupying
most of the public mind and which
by great man is still considered as a
trifle more important than a test of
Wizards punch. SO the heavyweight
schedule for the moment stands but
little chance Of being sent through.

Army Life and Sporting Skill
How will army life affect sporting
skill? No one can tell yet. as no test
has been made.
Two or three years service would
undoubtedly lower the average stand
ard heavily. The younger entries
might get going again in tennis, golf
and even baseball after two or three
years service. But most of them
would lose far moro OF their skill than
they could ever hope TO get back again
in more peaceful age.

HELEN AND PAUL'S
VISIT IN THE CITY

Helen and Paul awoke the next
morning with a surprised look on
their faces. They remembered in
few minutes what had happened
the night before. Helen slept in a
little white bedroom with Frances
and Paul and John slept in room
right next to the girls. They
dressed hurriedly ran down to
breakfast. After breakfast Fran
ces and Johns daddy took them all
sight seeing. They took short nap
in the afternoon. Later they all
went in the machine to the beach
where they donned bathing suits
and jumped into the water. When
ever the children got their mouths
full of water or lost control Of their
arms or feet Daddy jumped in and
got them out. About 5 o'clock that
evening, Mother helped Frances
and Helen get dressed again, while
daddy helped Paul and John. After
they were dressed and in the ma
chine daddy told them that they
were going to have supper in the
country and for proof they might
look in the bottom of the auto and
sure enough there was hamper
full of good things to eat.
AS soon as they arrived mother
spread the supper and they began
to eat for it was getting dark.
They had potato salad, sandwiches,
cake, oranges. bananas and even
ice-cream. After they had eaten
their supper mother put them into
the machine and tucked robes in
around them as it was evening and
was getting chilly. They went to
sleep on the way home and SO did
not know anything until the next
morning when they we're told they
were going to park to spend the
day. The girls put on pretty white
frocks and half hose and sandals
and the boys had on their white
suits. The park had a merry 60.
round, teetortotter, slides, swings
and hammocks. The children had
a good time. The next day, Helen
and Paul were to 60 home and
Frances and John were to 60 back
with them to. spend a week. Next
week the Helen and Paul story
will be all about the fine time they
had in the country. Grace Sim

ing and-Oh. | forgot to tell you
where they live. 1t is just two miles
away from Fairview. So when you
get off of the car at the end Of the
line you have to walk two miles be-
fore you can get to my cousins
house.
So we went to church and when
1t came time for the collection had
three pennies to put in and a nick
lie for my car fare. guess was
excited because when looked in
my pOcketbOok again there was on
ly three pennies in it. So had to

are some babies who do not close

things I ever saw. Now can you

HAVING FUN.

Dear Boys and Girls:-I want to
tell you about the pretty picture I
saw the other afternoon. No. 1t
wasn't one like mother and father
have hanging on the walls in your
home, but it was even prettier to
me than any of those. / was out
riding and we stopped at a house
on the Middleboro pike, just about
two miles from Richmond to get
drink and this is what saw. The
father was up in the big cherry
tree picking cherries and the moth
er was sitting under the trees try
ing to seed them just as fast as
father picked them and what do
you think the brother and sister
were doing?. They were moving
the pretty lawn to the north Of the
farmhouse and now must tell you
why they were having such fun
even though they we're hard at
work. You see they had rope
fastened to the lawn mower and
part of the time the boy played
horse and part OF the time the girl
took her turn. They made pretty
straight rows. cutting down the tall
grass and all the time they were
pretending as if they were blowing
broad field just like their father
did in the early spring. | think
there was collie dog too frisking
about and having just as much fun
as the chiidren-Junior Editor.

Corine Stella Duboyitch. six-year-
old pianiste of Chicago already has
gathered fame at the piano that
students of many times her years
have sought in vain. She made her
public debut Sunday at the Red
Cross benefit given at the Lyon &
Healy recital hall and has been
asked to appear in a number of
concerts in the future as a result of
her remarkable performance.
According to her teacher. Flor
ence R. Brazil. the youngest already
has accomplished difficult classics
and is on the road to world fame.
There is only one difficulty her
instructor has-when Corinne
"acts up" her instructor does not
know whether it's just child mis-
chievousness or the much-heralded
temperament Of the artist.

know it's haunted" said her moth
er, who didn't believe it was haunt

Years before young woman had
gone into this house and had been
killed while in bed. Now no one
would 60 into it and 1t bore the
name "The Haunted House"
In the early morning they fixed
a good lunch and were gone.
They went all around the house
Before going in. When they went
in they heard noises as if someone
was treading around on tiptoe and
something was banging together.
That night they slept in a bed in
the house. They soon got used to
the noises and fell asleep. About
twelve o'clock, Bobby awoke. Just
then something sounded as if
glass, wood and tin were smashing
together. Betty. Betty, wake up"
he whispered.
In the morning they found that
picture had fallen and that was the
sound Bobby had heard. On open
ing the bureau drawer they heard
paper rattle. They pulled it out
and it was note. 1t read as fol-
lows:

Betty Jones, married a man and
divorced him. A man fell in love
with me and my divorced husband
came back to claim me. l came
here near my niece and nephew
and killed myself" -
"Oh, this is awful" said Betty.
swell, it explains one mystery of
the haunted house"
After while they went up to the
attic as that was the place frim
which came the. noises, Bobby op-
ened the door, and there were some
little kittens playing.
"Well," said Bobby. we've ex-
planned the mystery of the Haunted
House. and I'm glad"

They were soon home and told

CAMP FIRE GIRLS
TO HELP HOOVER

The Camp Fire Girls throughout
the United States have been re-
quested by Herbert c. Hoover per-
sonally and by the Woman's Auxil-
larry Committee of the Council of
National Defence to help Mr..
Hoover to organize the housewives
of this country into great food
conservation army. The work of
the girls in this connection will be
to distribute household tags" con-
sisting of the national shield sur
rounded by heads of wheat, to be
hung in the windows. and it is
hoped to have the shield displayed
in every home in the United States.
In addition to this, they are to col
lect the pledges to take part in
this national service and to send
them to the Food Administration
Division in Washington.
This is particularly appropriate
work for the Camp Fire Girls who
have for more than two months
been preaching and practicing food
conservation as the most import
ant part of their war time program.
There are nearly one hundred thou
sand of them in this country. and
their food conservation work has
been so definite and concrete that
President Wilson first endorsed it
cordially, and then accepted last
week the hoorary presidency of the
organization.
Word has gone out to all the
Camp Fire Guardians-the older
women who direct the activities of
the girls to have their Camp
Fires ready to distribute service
pledges on July /. The Camp Fire
Girls will be most efficient lieuten-
ants in this movement, as they
have already had intensive train
ing in definite food observation
program based on the Government
requirements. They will know
whereof they speak, and will be
the young Plattsburg officers of the
food conservation army of women.
