Modern Prize Fighters

That boxing Is climbing the ladder
of aristocracy Is quite evident and 1t
won't be long before 1t is accorded
the pinnacle of sportdom. There was
a time when pugilists were looked
upon with disdain n as 'bums."
But today a boxer is "ft to look at a
king" as the saying goes, and is in
deed accorded so much prestige and
honor that If this war business con-
tinues 1t will be necessary to get q
copy of a social register instead of
the record books to find put who's
champion of such and such a class
and who has the most KOS to his
credit.
* A New York society woman. who
is a yeowoman in the navy, refereed
a bout some time ago and more re-
offers a cup for the best set of fistic
~assaulters in the Allied fleets. Such
unprecedented occurrences had the
caulifower a gentry swapping theii
striped sweaters for tuxedo coats

of all.
At Nashville. Tenn, on the final day
of the fourth Liberty Lend drive, a
boxing tournament was n of the
features Of the city's efforts to put the
old town over the top and ministers
ran the show. A Methodist pastor
refereed the bouts and an Episcopal
liam clergyman acted as timekeeper
and announcer. It's not unusual for
deacons to sneak in to witness bouts,
but this Is the first time on record
that the ministry has sponsored and
officiated at a mouse-raising soiree.
Many a boxer has said his prayers be-
fore the timekeeper nudged the gong
with a hammer. but this is the first
occasion when boxers had an oppor-
tunity to have their souls half-soled
before going into action.

Deer In Jersey Plentiful;
Great Scarcity Of Hunters

The ranks Of the deer hunters have
been greatly reduced through the draft
and the influenza epidemic, while the
number Of deer has increased consid-
erabIy in this state. Those hunters
who spent the first day OF the season
In the woods had not much success
because Of the dryness Of the leaves
under foot, that gives out a crunch
ing noise and frightens the deer, as
well as the heavy growth OF under
brush and the lass of leaves on the
trees in the deer sections.
Lack of frost has retained the foil
age on h trees and brush, which
makes hunting extremely dangerous
Several cases have been reported from
men In forcing their way through tho
brush have been so completely hidden
from view that other hunters have
mistaken them for deer and fred
without waiting for a view Of the OBJ
ject
Reports from Ocean county, where
the best cover Is to be found. point to
more deer than ever being seen here,
especially along the line of the Toms
river, Atlantic boulevard. Hunters
starting out from Eorked River. Toms
River. Waretown and Barnegat have
better success than those starting from
western sections of the state. for the
closer to the salt water the less foli-
age there is to contend with.
Tuckerton hunters have worked to
the north and reports from there show
that at least five deer were taken last
Wednesday. Bridgeton has sent some
good reports. stating that between that
point and Millvi1le some deer have
been taken. Millville hunters have
similar reports to make. They add to
their report that there seems to be
more male deer of the legal size than
heretofore.
Several hunters state hat they have
seen deer along the Kittatinny noun
tains and they will try for them on the
last day of the season, as the heavy
foliage at present gives the deer an
extraordinary good cover and places
the hunter at a disadvantage.
A ffve-propg deer was started near
Stockholm Wednesday evening and Il
cut a streak for the heavy brush
around the Oak Ridge reservoir. Once
inside the deer turned and looked at
the hunters. who were gazing at q sign
warning them against trespassing on

Labor problems are being brougnt
before school pupils through the Work
of the United States Bureau or Eou-
cation, which, in its series or courses
on Community and national life. has
prepared interesting lessons on "The

1.-THE War Labor Administration
The lessons for the upper classes IN
the high schools discuss topics more
advanced than those for lower h1gh

while still more elementary subjects
are provided for the intermediate
grades of the grammer o
Topics previously discussed INCLUDE
the rise of machine industry, social
control, unemployed, labor
lions. employment agencies. employ
ment management and social insur-
ance.
In the high school lesson on The
| Worker and the Wage System" Is
| discussed the rise of the wage sys-
tenn which is shown to be OF compare
lively modern development, with It's
result-leaving the worker dependent
on the employer for hire. in a specu-
lative society. The classes of risks
that employers are subjected to are
described, with their consequences in
the way of insecurity for the worker
F.! The influence of accidents. disease and
fatigue, and the weak bargaining posi-
ton of the workman, are presented.
| AS remedies for some of the diff

ing capital secure. and consequently
insuring the workman. The aim OF
the lesson is to stimulate constructive
thought on the problems of the wage

In the lesson for the high school
students in the lower classes, the
problems OF women in industry are
discussed; and in the Lesson exclu-
sively for graded schools, the child
