In a year Of war France and England lost hundreds
Of thousands Of lives.
In how many American homes will there be

Day?
And as the war progresses these wreaths will be
Increase, as the Hun IS being slowly but surely beaten.
Then Memorial Day VIII mean something else TO
America.

Psychology Counts in Staging Fights

Of the milk and water population with
which boxing is in disfsvor. Any other
bout may be held in perfect safety, but
the instant some heavyweight champion
comes along and announces he Is going
to flght some one for the title. Il be-
comes q hOrrid thing. And the follow
ers OF boxing generally are content 10
let It go at that.
An instance OF this kind was record
ed a short time ago when ST. Paul and
Minneapolis worked themselves into a
frenzy over the proposed bout between
willard and Fulton. but sat placidly
when Billy Miskie and Jack Dempsey
the two most prominent heavyweishts
aside from Willard and Fulton, mixed
In a ten round go at st. Paul. There
was no difference between the two mills.
except that a championship would save
been at stake with Willard in herring
AS a matter Of fact the bout between
Dempsey and Mlske probably was more
nercely fought than A Willsrd-Fulton
go would have been.

is mistaken in his idea that there Is no

There Is a public demand for the

Ph|LA. Grand JURY
OPPOSES SALOONS
Abolish Them TO End Crime

BEER RUNS SHORT
AND 2 BARS CLOSED


\ PHILADELPHIA. Pa, May 30-The
big drive against the ll1uOr traffic in.
this city resulted IN the handine OF
several severe iolts yesterday 10 ss-
| lOonkeepers. The first one was when
Judges Shoemaker and Vessel, IN the
/ license court. revoked two retail H.
censes; the second when the Grand
Jury attributed the majority Of crimes
to the sale OF liquor and recommended
It's sbolishment, and the third, when
saloonkeepers ran out OF beer 0wins

tain amount esch day 20 a saloon.
Never has the saloon business been /
in a more precarious position, accord /
Ing 70 many retailers The condition 4
that developed yesterday Is the most 4
serious blow given the business ir
years. This Is Whist happened:
The license court upheld the charges
that Elias W Evans. who conducts
the Ohio House. Thlrty-ninth and Mar
ket streets. had sold liquor to soldiers
and sailors and decided here was no
longer any need FOR a saloon In the
place. AZ the same time the judges
revoked the license OF Eugene de ste
fsno i74s East Passyunk avenue, for
alleged general disorderly behavior
around Ule saloon.
Almost at the same hour the retir-
Ing Grand Jury flled a brief report IN
the Quarter Sessions Court In which
prohibition IN the city was recommend
ed. u was the first time in the his
tory Of the court that such a recon-
mendation was made by Grand Jury.
The report said:
The Grand Jury feels impelled TO
say that large part OF the business
that came before this body was due TO
the liquor traiilc, and we believe that :
II Il were abolished the amount u
crime and criminals would be tre- I
mendously decreased.
For years saloons have been able TO ,
get an unlimited supply Of beer In :
fact, they were urged 10 buy by s0llc- :
ting salesmen. But times have changed 4
10 such an extent that yesterday num- !

The French TrlcoIor.

The Tricolor. the French national
standard of blue, white and red, d.
vided vertically, originated during the
first French revolution. In 1889 the
leaf plucked by Camille Desmoulins
in the garden Of the Palais Royal be-
came rallying sign, and green was
to be adopted as the national color !,
but, remembering that green was the
color of the hated Prince d'Artois, they
rejected it on the following day.
They at first chose, instead, blue and
red, the colors of the city Of Paris,
and later added the white of royalty,
that had been faithfully preserved by
the national guard. This new standard
was adopted with enthusiasm. A few
months after taking OF the Bastile,
BaiIly and Lafayette offered to Louis
XVI the three-colored cocard as a
badge of reconciliation with the king.
Thus the 'Tricolor originated as the
symbol of the liberty of the French
nation, and it continued as such even
when afterward the reconciliation
with the king ended with his decapita-

Thought reading was the method
claimed to have been employed by a
man In Bengal, India, to win large
sums of money on the race course. 1t
turned out to be very ingenious form
of swIndle. Finding a man who is IN
feresbed in racing, the confidence man
produces roll of money, and states
that he won this by his fore knowi-
edge OF the winners on the track. He
then suggests that his friend test his
knowledge. He induces his victim to
hand hin sums of money to be placed
on the horses, and then vanishes. In
vestigation has proved that this Ben
gall had swindled a number of peo-
pie of large sums OF money in this
way.

There came a shadow, then in the
