 The wonderful handling by Billy GiD- son has been one of the main factors in the financial and fistic success of Benny Leonard. It was Gibson who gave Benny his first chance in professional ring. Billy recognized Leonard as a possible champion. So he took him under his wing and brought him along gradually He kept a watchful eye over the young ster's training and all through the five years that Benny was working his way toward the top he was held in check ny Gibson. The latter knew that Many promising youngsters had been ruined by moving them along too fast Gibson was careful to see to it that the ad- vance of Benny was gradual. When he figured that Benny was ready. he let him go. And Benny today is lightweight champion of the world.
 Less than a year ago Leonard climbed to the top of his division by knocking out Freddie Welsh. Since that time the youngster has earned close to $100,'U That's tremendous amount for any one to accumulate through the medium of no-decision bouts. The credit for his Is due largely to Gibson, who is shrewd business man and who always got the maximum guarantee for Benny for each and every exhibition in the ring.
 Tie handling of Jess Willard by Tom Jones forms another interesting chapter in ring history. The giant was drifting around and getting nowhere until Jones took him in charge Tom figured that Jess had championship possibilities if handled correctly. So Tom proceeded to direct the financial activities of the big white man and by his clever manage ment soon made it possible for Willard to earn thousands in the ring where he had earned hundreds before. The un- ceasing efforts of Jones, in the face ot many discouragements. finally clinched a match for Willard with Jack Johnson. And Willard today is champion.
 Several men handled Willard's affairs before Jones began to pilot him. None succeeded in advancing Jess toward the crest; none was able to make 1t possible for Jess to earn big purses in the ring. but when Jones, who had made great success in handling Ad Wolgast, took him in charge an abrupt change was wrought. Willard at last had secured the man who had brains, who had shiewdness and who knew how to get the maximum for every ring perform anca.
 All of which proves the necessity If a skillful manager for every youngster who aspres to success in the prores- sional ring.

REGARD COLD As SERIOUS
Medical Authority Warns Against Con-

Taken by Those Afflicted.

The ultrawise citizen Of male per.
suasion dev0tes part of the sweltry
summer days to the unsympathetic
task Of selecting his winter overcoat-
a wise and sometimes money-saving
piece of foresight. Other perspiring
ones are buying coal. In summer pre-
pare for winter. 1t is probably in this

Der of Boston Medical and Surgical
cal Journal touches upon the Deem
berry subject Of colds, and it is pre-
cisely III this spirit that we translate
few injunctions from the, medical
writing Of DR.. D. G. bennett in the
Journal.
Treat colds early and carefully.
Colds are simply the first stages Of
pneumonia, tuberculosis and many
other ailments. When you have a
cold you are in the beginning of a
serious disease, which may develop II
you neglect it. In military camps the
order is that colds be reported upon
the appearance Of first symptoms.
Do not poke a cold with medicated
cotton on stick. Do not take aspirin
except for pain. Do not spray a cold.
Do not take quinine and whisky, but
treat cold seriously because it is a
serious disease. Consult a doctor.

Italians All in II.

practically every woman in Italy
from sixteen to sixty is a war nurse
or volunteer war worker and the
whole nation is feeling the beneficent
throb of their activity" Count v.
Machhi De Cellere said in an address
before the Continental Congress of the
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
ton.
Our women in Italy, though not
politically organized or prepared for
service, had within their hearts and
minds the hereditary tradition of the
struggle for liberty and nationality
and have stepped forward, falling into
line with marvellous efficiency and
unanimity, backing the men in the
army from royal palace to munition
plant.
"They have undertaken the task Of
looking after the soldiers families, as
well as reconstructing and refitting
for useful lives the disabled men, Of
giving hands to the fields as well as
to the factory"

GOOD ROADS BULLETIN

| a foot of large sized crushed rock
which is covered with concrete. US
ually cement concrete. Many roads
are built, however, where only a few
months traffic is expected to travel
and in such roads crushed rock is
used for foundation and a top is put
on of some cheap carpet" variety,
such as Dollar Way, Tarvia, or the
like. 1t lasts but a short time.
In the eastern states, where the
heavy traffic of war shipment is roads
are being built by the states and by
the government which will last al
most forever. From one to two feet
of large crushed rock is used for
foundation, the openings are filled
with fine crushed rock and sand. On
that is built from six inches to a
foot of concrete, usually cement con-
crete, and where the traffic is very
severe the concrete is reinforced
with steel and netting.
Our foundation soil is generally
gravel and therefore we will require
little Of the crushed rock base, but
where soil is deep and it is generally
muddy in the wet seasons, VIE must
build foundation which will stay
and which will hold up the road.
Don't overlook the fact that,
where we have at present gravel
roads which are good we have gravel
base. Look to the ,Wapello and
Moreland districts. There roads are
good, after a reasonable grading has
been done, due to the fact that the
sub-soil is gravel In Riverside,
Thomas, and most of the country
south Of Thomas there is little gravel
and to make good roads there the
foundation will have to be built at
least foot deep before a top is I'm
ished.
It won't be necessary for us to
build all the roads at once. 1t would
require million and a quarter dol
lars, but we can build the foundation
now, use it for q few years and then
put top on which will last for
years and will come in installments
as conditions require. The expense
of clearing away the dirt and making
room for the foundation will require
lots of work and money and will be
about all we can do for several years.
Let's get at it. Don't be like the
kaiser, let's face the music and take
our medicine.

{ By F. N. Parkinson)

The kaiser is trying to evade the
issue. He writes notes and suggests
ways to end the war and excuses
himself for doing atrocities the hui
man mind had never before thought
possible, and the war goes on, human
beings are being slaughtered worse
than cattle. All the while he is SO
energetic kidding himself you and

time and brave deeds until he will
have discovered that his dream of
world power Is over and will feel the

his ears and around his royal neck.
Personally would not like to spring
the trap under him, because / hate
to have anything to do with so low
an individual. I believe one of his
great generals should be required to
do it.
Now, my purpose in writing, this
article is not to spread my opinions
as to the war and the ways to end
it. | want to write Of roads, but
there is, to- a small degree, feeling
in us by which we seem to desire to
evade the issue; like the kaiser
evades peace. We can't afford to
kid ourselves into believing that
roads half made or made Of poor ma
terial will serve. Our money is too
hard to earn and should be appreci-
ated too much to allow us to waste
it, for such road building would be
waste. In this road matter let's
face the proposition like our boys
and our statesmen face the war sit
uation. We are in it to win and we
will win. To win in the road busi-
ness We must have the best because
1t is the cheapest. The cheapest to
start with and by far the cheapest
to end with. From the moment it
is finished and turned over to the
public it will return to you, each Of
you, dollars and cents.
