by his showing last night. After
his scrap he accepted challenge

probably will be carded IN a future

In the main preliminary Ray Zies
easily shaded Young Peterson in
six rounds. Both are Rock Island

over his last appearance in a TIL

commented upon by many of the
fans. He was easily the master Of
Young Peterson, who displayed a
great respect for his opponents

shade over Battling Nealey, also Of

HIGH GRID TEAM
CERTAIN OF WIN
OVER OLD GRADS

The Rock Island high school
football aggregation will run up
against stiff opposition Saturday
afternoon at the Douglas park
when it plays the alumni team.
The high school lads are conf
dent of a victory basing their
claims upon the game last Satur-
day when they beat an Arsenal
eleven. The Alumni on the other
hand are just as confident OF vic
tory. The Alumni have this yeaI
about the strongest team they have
ever put in the field.
The defects of the high school
squad have been rounded off this
week by Coach Kimmel, and he ex-
poets the undergraduates to put up
a great fight. The back field looks
better than ever this week. The
backfield men have developed more
speed and are able TO handle the
forward passes better than ever be-
fore. Paul Anderson, this years
captain, looks better than ever.
Paul at full expects to tear the
Alumni line to pieces while Nc
Carly at quarter expects TO keep
the Alumni ends and back1eld men
busy chasing him as he makes the
end runs
The two halfbacks for the high
school, Dopp and Olson, are also
confident of doing damage in Satur-
days fest. The line has been gone
over and strengthened. Lincke at
center, Blankenberg and Monroe at
the guard positions, Littig and Mil
stead holding down the tackle jobs,
while Hincke and Holcombe play
ing at the wing positions ought to
break up the Alumni plays. The

INSANITY ON INCREASE
STATE REPORT SHOWS

Springfield, June 15.-lnsanity In
Illinois during the past ten years has
increased thirty three per cent. This
startling statement has been made ~
Frank ID. Whip, fiscal supervisor of
the state department of public wei
fare He recently compiled statistics,
however, which shows the commit
ments during 1917 were below those
of former years. He attributes that
fact to the war, and the passage of
the Harrison antinarcotic law.
''The decrease was caused in part
by immigration being shut off during
the war and also by important changes
in social conditions such as the ex-
tension OF dry territory in various
parts of the state and general clean
up OF dives by municipal authorities
Mr.. Whip says.
"In every decennial period in the
last century, without single excep-
ton the per centage of increase of
insanity has been greater than that
of the general population.
I'VE have been doing good work In
our institutions but under the pres
ent law and means at hand there is
no adequate way to do preventative
work outside of the institutions. 1t
seems to me that it is an economic
that should have atten'
ton Immediately. An ounce OF pre-
vention Is worth a pound OF cure 1t
Is claimed that In many cases in
sanity Is preventable and that the dis
ease causing it can be controlled. A
special drive ought to be made by the
state to stamp out this social scourge
