Once more Helen turned out the

This time his language was more
vigorous than before. Again she
slipped off eud turned on the lights
Now the net was pulled up from

in the center, and as Warren sat up
glazing out angrily, it rested against
his head and shoulders.
"Sh-don't dear. Wait just a
minute-I'l1 fix it."
"Well, take it out of my face then.
/ don't want this Internal stuff

Helen drew it down tightly, raising
the net from his face.

and all ms de the net.
But Helen was now too tired and
FOO sleepy to appreciate the absurd
picture of Warren on his knees under
that green netting, searching with
the utmost gravity and some profan-

Then he Law down while Helen
pinned the netting closely all around.
"Raise it up-dont let it drop

once more she turned out the lights
and lay down on the couch, sprinl-
ling some camphor about her.
And Warren, now undisturbed by
mosquitoes, slept soundly and nois-

who has voluntarily joined Uncle
Sans forces without asking for some
special favor for so doing.
Caddock is private-he didn't ask
to be enlisted as a wrestling instruc-

get commission. He just went to
his recruiting office and enlisted.
Under these circumstances it is
not likely that Zbyszko or anyone

First Champion to Join u S. Service Without Claiming Fvors Smiles
While Others Claim His Title

A few weeks ago wrestling tour
nament, advertised for the champion
ship of the world, was held in New
York. Dozens of wrestlers took
part and it was finally won by Wlad-
Elk Zbyszko, who promptly annexed
the title.
The man who probably has more
right than any other to claim Frank
Gotch's title was not entered.
And for particularly good rea-
son.
Earl Caddock. the wrestler in
question, was wearing an olive drab
uniform and was out working with
the rest of the doughboys while the
others were sweating out on a mat
in New York.
