In an exhibition last summer
Clinton Larsen, young Utah

inches high. Perhaps 1t was his
supreme effort. 1t may be that
he never again can duplicate that
feat. Yet the A. A. U. refused
to allow the record to stand, and
Larsen's jump in q few months
will be forgotten.

Boxing for 1918 will be usher
ed in for Tacoma fans by the
Eagles lodge tomorrow, when a
24-round boxing card will be pre-
sented during the afternoon at
Tahoma hall. Not only is the
list Of bouts one of the best that
could be arranged, but the idea of
holiday matinee smoker is max
ing a big hit with the fans.
The card will start promptly at
$3.50, and should be over before
430, giving everyone plenty of
time to get home for supper. Art
Schock will be referee and Tom
Armstrong will handle the chimes.
Plenty of action will be seen on
the card. This is an easy predic-
ton from the recent records of
all the boxers. frankie Tucker
and George Ingle, in the main
event, should put up whale of a
scrap, and Joe Henpessy, the Ia
coma shipbuilder, is expecting to
paint a new map on the bean of
one Lloyd Madden of Seattle,
whom he meets in the second
main event.
Every one of the boys in the
other three bouts are stars. Jack
Hartford will be one of the popu-
lar men on the card, as it will
be his first appearance in a big
smoker since his years campaign
of the California rings. Hartford
will have his hands full with Jack
LABEL, who scored knockout
over a good boxer in Seattle last
week.

Gain Ne,D Ideas
For Aid Of Red
Cross Workers

New ideas, which will aid workers
os the county Red Cross Chapter have
been gained by Mesdames r. w. NC
Creery and /. O. Kemele, delegates
from the county chapter to the state
convention of Red Cross workers, just
closed at Des Moines. The conVen-
ton proved an inspiration for greater
enGeavor and Iowa was shown to De
in the fore rank in Red Gross work.
this state now having more Red Cross
chapters than any other state of the
union. and the number of members In
Iowa now exceeding the entire mem
bership of the United States before
the war.
Some Of the more interesting features
OF interest to Red Cross workers are
IMPAIRED by the delegates. to the
cGNniy workers as follows:
New pattern for garments, labeled
,Onicial American Red Cross Pattern
are or soon will be, in the hands OF
local retail merchants. These patterns
will be used in the chapters work
room. and the branches are requested
to supply themselves with them as
soon as possible. All garments, how
ever cut from the old patterns. Should
be finished and will be accepted.
Owing to the fact that garments
made in this country are used IN
France, where the metric system is IN
vogue. a change has been made in the
number of articles tied in package.
Bundles of five and its multiples are
ordered rather than in lots OF three
six and twelve.
All garments are to be made with
one-inch hens turned up on the rlsht
side. and with all seams finished with
one-half inch fat full on the right side.
All garments fasten left over right
and all breast pockets and emblems are
TO be placed on the left side. Collar
facing of bed shirts is to be turned
and stitched on the right side.
Headquarters have requested the
chapters not to furnish or sell yarn 10

of goods having been sold by the Red
Cross as untrue, and undoubtedly

Women Hav. Greater courass

Turnout the pages OF history are
numberless examples OF wonderful
courage and fortitude shown by women.
War time calls for high moral courage
and self-sacrifice, moral as well as
well as physical. The loss OF kin falls
more heavily on woman at any time,
for men have more interest to divert
the mind from personal sorrow.

Recruiting Active
During the Month

No such activity in recruiting for
the regular and national armies and
the national guard since early in the
summer has been developed at the
army recruiting station here as was
shown In October.
During the month total of forty.
three, who were recruited here for the
many different branches Of the ser
vice, were accepted at points of en-
listment. OF this number sixteen were
from this city and six were from the
county outside of the city, or a little
more than one-half Of the total. The
record OF forty three for the month
compares very favorably with sixteen
recruited In September and twenty
two in August.
