WEST SIDE FIRE STARTS IN COTTON.

With a flash of flame almost like an explosion that drove a dozen men and women workers from the picker machines at the Max Gordon (; Son Corporation junk station on .he bank of the. Tantie river just across from thn1e Chelsea Boat club house. ire started there on Monday afternoon at about 445 o'clock that made 8 wreck of these two story frame buildings in the rear of the Peck MeEiliianas Co. carpenter and wood working shops at 45-s9 West Main street
 It IS believed that a spark from the picker machines falling among the fine cotton upon which they were Woking started the fire which swept through the building with suddenness that drove the workers precipitatefy from the place and sent up dense cloud of smoke that could be seen all over the city. After a fierce fight of a little over half an hour Chief Howard L. Stanton was able to ring in the Under control signal but it was another half hour or so longer that fremen continued to pour water into the smoldering ruins, and the West Side Chemical company was left stationed there till early in the evening with a line of hose attached
 
 place before leaving 1t for the night.
 It was estimated that the damage to building and contents would run between $2500 and sS,61d, on which there IS partial insurance.
 Just as the hrernen of the Main Street company were picking up their lines of hose and preparing to leave after the recall had been sounded. there was another call for them to am other place owned by Max Gordon & Son Corporation on the top floor of the Davenport building on West Main street. where bales of cotton had been set on fire probably from the spark ing from an arc made by an cleo tric motor. All that saved a bad fire here was that the automatic sprinkler heads were released by the heat, let ting out a flood of water from two of the heads that was holding the fire in check until the firemen arrived and put it completely out with tanks of chemical.

BOXING TO BE A PART OF
 BRITISH SOLDIERS TRAINING

Boxing is to be an essential part of the training of every British sol dier henceforth. The average train ing periLd of the British recruit now is not more than six months, but sev- eral hours of each week will be de- voted to boxing, partly in an effort to counteract the deadening influ- ly because boxing is regarded as the cest possible means of developing the "combative spirit in soldiers.
 During the present summer a com prehensive program of boxing tourna- ments Will be carried out in every training camp in England, and Amer ican soldiers whe are in camp here will participate in this part of the camp life.
 In an instruction leafet Colonel H. c. Mayes, Director of the Can adian Army Gymnastic staff, says
 ''Efhe cultivation of the fighting spirit is the greatest problem with which we are faced. For some time ial weapon, and no other nation has eyer achieved such success with cold steel But there is something still lacking in the training; the sol- dier is taught the spirit of the bay onet, taught that he must strike hard to kill, but he is not taught to take as well as give punishment.
 There is practically only one pastime to give our men this es- sential experience That is boxing In no other sport is the spirit of give and take so strongly developed And that is why new era in the training of the British soldier has come into existence. We are go- ing to try to teach our men that an offensive, combative spirit is the greatest asset soldier can possess Tn order to beat the Germans the average soldier must realize that tremendous effort has yet to be made, both physical and mental l Courage is created or largely based on confidence, how to take a I blow or succession Of blows, know l ink that his opportunity is coming. l What we owe to boxing and other
 sports in this crisis it is impossible
 to calculate, notwithstanding tha1 only ten per cent. of the natiOr
 participated. The mere fact of watch. 1 ing boxing and other sports has 1 tended in a measure to keep alive tht cumulative instinct of the Britisi
 race. although it must be remem- i bered that watching game may in-
 crease an individuals spirit, but doc.
 not improve his physique"

One of them says: Tn the mines of Hainault horses that travel back and forth over q certain road exactly thirty times day, go to the stables of their own &C., cord after their last trip. and refuse to take another step"
 Another scientific man says that he taught a chimpanzee of the London geological gardens to have exact ideas regarding the numbers from one to five. He ordered him to pick up one, two, three, four or five straws and refused to accept them unless the num- per was correct. In a little while the ape understood and rarely made 8 mistake.
