orInln of Neck shavlnn-

A study Of the many necks to be
seen on the walls Of the National Por-
trait gallery enables me to state that
the custom of neck shaving, although
said to have been recently imported
from AVerica, was undoubtedly known
and most likely popular in the days Of
Agincourt.
The portrait of Henry V. shows quite
clearly that his neck was shaved. and
If the king did it it must have been
fashionable.
Most Americans have their necks
shaved, and In one of Jack London's
novels the hero, teamster, on strike,
points out TO his wife that he must
patronize the barber because he can
not possibly shave his own neck =

LEGENDS OF THE ELEPHANT

Naturally we talked first about ele-
plants, of which he was almost ms
childishly fond as l. But in contrast
TO my poor knowledge, he possessed
the rich lore of a man who had not
only observed hath for many years
with loving interest, but had also lis
tened to the tales of mahout and shi-
kari from Siam to Ceylon. He poured
out a hundred gifts from an apparent
ly inexhaustible store. He told OF
"round-ups" in Burma, when the wild
herds are driven into gigantic corrals
TO be tanned for the service of puny
man. Then, turning to the names be-
slowed by dotlng mahOuts on these
colossal darllngs he pointed out that
in this nomenclature of affection Lo-
tus, or Lily or Pearl was only a COM
monplace, while even Silver Star and
Golden Joy seemed inadequate. Folk
tales too. he repeated, among them
the narrative of the wise elephant
that used to be sent out from a GER
tain city the morning after the kings
death TO bring back in its bejeweled
hoWdah the man It had chosen as sue
ccssor TO the thro"e. Finally, just
MS we were leaving the bank Of the
stream. he spoke of the part played by
the elephant in the story of him who
became the Light of Asia. Before the
birth of Gautama, destined to be the
savior of mankind, his mother dream
ed that a six-rayed star from heaven
entered her right side. and of this
star the token was a white elephant
with six perfect tusks. Again in the

BOOM
FOR BOXING

(By H. c. Hamilton, United Press
Staff Correspondent
New York, June 24.-With the bic
fight alt Toledo approaching, little
attention is being paid to the small
er fry of pugilism but there arc
pending in the east some bouts OF
real class which probably will devel
op after the conclusion of the heavy
weight scrap and which will derive
many a dollar from the popularity
boxing seems certain to enjoy as a
result of the Willard Dempsey go.
Ut is true that Benny Leonard has
completely disposed of most active
contenders to his tile, but there are
still left a couple of good boys he
has not met, and one with whom he
could draw a good gate in return
match.
Lew Tender, the sensational Phil
adelphia lightweight, is on of the
youths the eastern fans would like
to see eLonard step WITH and there
is Joe yelling, veteran Chicago
fighter, just itching for crack at
the lightweight title.
RitcIhie Mitchell, the Milwaukee
boy Leonard stopped when he won
the American lightweight champion
ship just previous to defeating Fred
die Welsh for the worlds title, is
making motions for a return go. He
Gains to have developed punch by
sacrificing some of his wonderful
speed and believes himself ready to
give Leonard a real argument.
There are the three of them. and
Jersey promoters also seek to get
Leonard into ring with the vel.
terweight champion, Jack Britton as
his opponent
Tender is in line for a bout quick
er than either yelling or Mitchell,
not because he is so much better
than these, but for other very good
reasons. yelling Is growing old in
the harness and was defeated a short
time ago. Mitchell already has had
one good pasting at the hands of the
champion and doesn't look like so
muc hOf card as he did couple of
years ago Tender has been breez
ing along, winning his bouts with
ease as a rule, and earning a grand
reputation along the seaboard.
Tender would probably have me,~
excuses if the subject of fight
were opened than Leonard He has
been Citing along well without meet
ing the champion and might be in
clined to hold back if there was
prospect that Leonard might knock
him out-a prospect which always
is just in the offing when Leonard
meet any man.
When Leonard met Kid Lewis
at a time when the latter was vel
terweight champion, the lightweight
king was far from being at ease. In
fact, it is quite doubtful if he would
have consented to the match had it,
been up to him to arrange it. And,
since Britton succeeded in knocking
out Lewis, it would be very strange
should Leonard agree to meet Brit
ton without quibbling.

The French adhere to the viewpoint
that it is necessary to maintain the

until France RECEIVERS from the Ger

However, France, it was stated, is viii

Germany the money to pay for the
food. American delegates regard this
as out of the question.
The situation is now such that set
tlement will probably be a matter of
weeks. 1t has been dragging since
November. The question, of course,
is regarded by the Americans as highly
important, as the United States needs
