AND DREW
IN FOUR ROUND BOUT

The regular bi-weekly entertain
ment given by the Imperial Athletic
Club on Friday evening proved all
that was promised. An excellent pro-
gram was put on and all the contest
ants gave a good account of them
selves. Two main events and two
preliminaries were put on.
The bout between Chief Aberntahy
of the United States army and Geo.
Drew was one of the fastest and most
evenly matched bouts seen in the VAL
ley. 1t was declared a draw at the
end of the fourth round. Lee Reese
won from Bobby Mason in the third
section. Reese, who has just returned
from Vernon, showed gerat improve
nent and will probably be matched
with the Chief for the main event at
the next show of the club.
In the preliminaries. Jack White,
who substituted for Kid Hoppe, held
the hard-hitting Dusky Johnson to a
draw, and Soldier Franklin won from
Dick Oxnard in the third round.
Art Wagner refereed the prelimi-
inaries, while Billy Stewart was the
third man for the two main events.

The choice In fur sets for this season
includes neckpieces and muffs In fa-
miliar styles, and many new patterns.
In neckpieces especially the designs
are odd and novel, including scarfs and
capes and fancy collars. The capes
are square and extend across the back,
with tie ends at the front, as rule,
although there are short, full capes
that cover the shoulders. Fancy col
lars have been developed in the short.
haired furs and lined with crepe or
chiffon.
Muffs are medium or small. and are
usually either fiat or melon shaped.
But when they are made to match the
fancier neckpieces they are brought ih-
to harmony by rufiies or drapings Of
fur. For the smaller neckpieces and
muffs that are made up In odd styles,
hudson seal, ermine, mole, squirrel.
and other smooth furs are chosen.
However attractive these novelties
they are not In the running, so for as
popularity Is concerned, with scarfs
and muffs Of fox and other long-haired
furs. These are very smart In short,
broad neckpieces. with barrel-shaped
muffs to match. The scarfs fasten
close about the neck and protect the
throat and much Of the face. Nothing
Is better liked than single pelt of the
fox, lined with crepe and provided with
fastenings that allow 1t to be worn ei-
ther high about the neck or draped
about the shoulders.

and "bitts" on the average ship are
too light and appropriately made for
careful and safe handling of ships by
the canal authorities.
ION account Of danger to the lock
gates resulting therefrom, the Panama
canal reserves the right" the new sail
ing directions announce, ITO deny pas
sage to ships having inadequate
chocks and bits as described herein,
until suitable equipment can be In.
stalled at the terminal ports"
Explaining this subject further, the
new canal regulations state:
Experience has demonstrated the
fact that most Of the chocks and bits
are too light in construction, and that
the chocks In particular should not
only be made heavier and stronger,
SO that their jaws may stand yer.
tical strain, but that they should be
of permanently closed pattern ana
not be made with open jaws. Bits
should be sufficiently strong to with
stand the strain of a 11s.inch (diam-
eter) wire line with pull of $4,000
pounds, and be firmly riveted to the
decks, and If necessary where the
deck is Of wood or light plating, they
should have an under deck plate, or
be secured between two deck frames"
The attempts to injure shipping at
sea by explosives in among the cargo
has made the canal officials strict In
applying the regulations for ships
known to carry highly inflammable
cargoes. The new edition Of the off,
cIal sailing directions provides that
vessels carrying explosives or high
~ inflammable cargoes should 40 mo-
tify the governor and obtain permIs-
sion before they will be allowed to
enter the canal. In requesting per-
mission for such vessels to transit the
canal the character and approximate
amount Of explosives should be
stated, the ports Of departure and
destination, name Of ship and party
to whom consigned. This may be
done by mail or cable. In general
permission will not be refused, but
these precautions are taken to safe
guard the Panama canal. Vessels
carrying explosives consigned to ports
beyond the canal zone will not be al.
lowed alongside the wharves while
such explosives are on board"

NEEDS BRAINS OF ENGINEERS
Underlying All City Planning 10 the
Necessity to Secure Health and
Comfort for the People,

City planners are always busted with
civic centers, city halls, libraries,
PARKS, Fairgrounds, street trees, COM
fort stations, ETC., all grand features,
all desirable, all even necessary, yet oil
incidentals. The first problem to grap-
pie with is availability. Such work is
at present our greatest need, for all
our so-called main thoroughfares are
now too much congested during the
busiest hours. This is an engineers
problem. Storm drains and also sewers
are next on the program, also referred
to the engineers department. After
this we need reservations for small
neighborhood parks so that every resi-.
dent may reach one from his home in
ten-mlnutes' walk. Now, having made
our city available and sanitary to a
satisfactory degree we are ready to
make 1t city beautiful and consider
all the commendable fads put forward
by bands Of energetic workers who for
many years have made large noises but
accomplish nothing. But let us first
have the engineer and have him give
us q substantial foundation on which
to lay the city.-Los Angeles Times.

The secret Of success in hairdress-
Ing lies in the accomplishment Of
graceful lines, no matter by what
means, more than in any other particu-
lar. The artist in coiffures must study
the head and face Of his patron and
with the resources he has at hand
make the contour of the head graceful
from every angle of view. A beauti-
fully shaped head may look its best
with the hair wrapped about. 1t as
closely as possible, SO as not to inter-
fere with Its contour. AIS,
Often the hairdresser succeeds best
by placing the hair high, but sometimes
this arrangement will not do at all,
and he must build the hair out on the
crown or mass 1t at the nape of the
neck. Nearly always waves and curls
add a charm, but there are exceptions
even to this rule.

planned and well-built permanent
structure Is needed.
Personally. prefer house with
the semimonitor type Of roof and ono
Of sufficient width for two rows OF
pens with a feed alley between them.
The length will depend upon the num-
ber Of sows that are to be housed in
1t. The pitch Of the roof should be
such that the SUMS rays will fall upon
the north row Of pens during the mid
die Of the day. OF course this type
of house should always face the south.
In building Of this sort 1t is much
easier to care for the sows than 1t Is
when small individual houses are used.
Especially Is this true at the farrow-
ing time as one man can properly look
after much larger number Of s0ws
than when they are scattered about in
q number Of different small houses.

CALL FOR HIGHEST ABILITY
Time Coming When Az American Cit.
les viii Employ Managers to d.
rect Civic Affairs.

"A prediction that within a few years
this city would adopt the city manager
plan OF government was made by Rich
ard s. Childs, in introducing Henry n.
Waite, city manager Of Dayton O., as
the speaker at the second Saturday
afternoon luncheon of the City club
Of New York. Mr.. Waite, who took
over the direction Of the affairs Of
Dayton on January 1, 1914-after Gen.
George Goethals had refused the post
outlined to about so members what
he had done to earn his $12,500 year
ly salary. Mr.. Waite. the dean of city
managers, was referred to as "logical-
ly, New York's first manager"
"Out in Dayton we run our munich.
pal affairs this way" said Mr.. Waite.
"First, the people elect a council or
commission Of five members, whose
duty 1t is to look about through the
country and locate man who might
capably direct the city's affairs. When
one such is found, the commission
questions him about his experience and
so forth, In much the same way busi-
ness man does when he hires clerk.
If the applicant measures up to the
standard, he is hired, and he, in turn,
selects the heads Of the five depart
ments Of finance, law, service, safety
and welfare.
"In selecting the heads Of depart
ments ability and experience and not
politics count. Personally, ], don't
know of what political persuasion my
departmental heads are. In this way
we are able to get many men who 9th
erwise would not think Of running for
office, under the old conditions. For
example, the head of the welfare de-
partment Is clergyman, thoroughly
capable to study out the park and rec
reation needs of our population.
'"Take our finance department as an
example Of the efficiency obtainable
under the new plan Of government
We have our finances so systematized
that Tor any other citizen-can tell
at a moment down to cent just how
any Of the subdivisions Of our budget
stand"

How Our Cite. Have Grown.

A metropolis grows up In two ways.
At first it expands legitimately, adding
furlong to furlong Of growth. Then
1t leaps forward and seizes large
area overnight by act Of legislature or
parliament, sweeping into its net q
score Of villages and settlements. Then
It proceeds to consolidate Its position.
as General Joffre might say, by filling
up the intervening spaces. In Euro
pean cities they have an inner ring,
which is the old city, and an outer
ring, which may be anything. New
York, Chicago. Boston, Seattle, have
their inner rings, which are the leglti-
mate city, and the outer ring, which
came by the get-big.quick method. New
York succumbed to the promoters
fever in 1898. In that year the city
absorbed large areas Of virgin soil,
and chain of independent villages,
some Of them nearly as old as Manhat-
tan itself. From the Sound to the At
lantic they stretch across the backbone
Of Long island and the lower har-
Dor Of Staten island, where the local
tradition, in spite of municipal ferries
and promised tunnels, has remained at
Its strongest.
Z Such frenzied expansion is the .rea.
son why the traveller In the nearer sub
urbs of a great city will often come
across city line which is no longer
the city line. As you near the old city
line from the heart Of population, the
solid blocks Of apartments and fats
thin out. There follow stretches Of
waste land, market gardens, cemete-
ries. It is across this zone between the
old and the new city lines that the
transit railways throw their surface
lines and elevated extensions" and
close behind them are the builders,
crlss-crossing the raw acres with their
long lines Of "frame" and brick.-Har-
per's Magazine.
