to series of boxing bouts which We're
all fast and snappy. The first of
these was n special mosquito weight
bout between Fairy" Johnson and
John Singley, who weigh 9S and 90
pounds respectively. Singley had it
over johnson in the first round, but
johnson came back in the second
round and the decision was a draw.
The next bout was the lightweight
bout between Bradley for the Sopho-
mores and Chambers for the Fresh
men. Chambers showed better form
than Bradley, but he lacked the punch
and the wind. and as n consequence he
lost out to Bradley. who won the bout,
These bouts were all for three rounds.
The next one was heavy weight bout
between George Ruos for the Sophs
and SamuelSon for the Freshmen.
Samuelson showed the better form
and all of his blows counted, but he
lacked aggreSsiveness, and the match
Was decided a draw. Then the middle
weight bout was staged between

Christmas Customs
"Over There"

The children of Russia. Italy and
Spain spend Christmas day in worship
at their churches and receive their
presents on January 6.
On this same day French children
have great celebration and cut the
kings cake" which is round cake,
usually, with china image baked in
it. Whoever cuts the slice that con-
tains the image is king or queen for
the day, and the rest of the children
must do everything the king or queen
does.
In Norway and Sweden they have
Christmas services in their churches
at four o'clock in the morning and the
kind-hearted children scatter wheat
for the hungry birds.
Germany was the first country to
use Christmas trees, and from Eng
land we get our idea of hanging the
stockings by the chimneys, burning
the yule log and hanging up the bran
cheS of mistletoe.
In Holland on Christmas eve the
children ill their stockings with hay
and oats for the white horse that they
believe Santa Claus rides. In the
morning they find the hay. and oats
gone and instead are presents for

ITO the legislature:
Whereas, The woman's hour

Whereas, The denial of this

that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the

Whereas, This principle is es-
