OLDEST WOMAN
suFFRAeETTE WAiTED7o
YEARS TO VOTE
(By Marc Ogden White)

(By Marc Ogden White)
The oldest woman voter waited 70
years to cast her first ballot!
Mrs. Rhoda Palmer, aged 102 years,
resident of Seneca Falls, N. Y, rode
four miles in the limousine Of a suf-
rage neighbor to mark her own bal

school site, next the buildings, fol-
lowed by the teachers home and 9th
er buildings, and dwelling, and also
on equipment. The course of study
was given particular consideration in
these lectures, as We're the subjects of
adequate support and revenues,
subject on which every superintend-
ent should be fully in formed.
The plan of school community or
ganlzation, a consideration of the
teaching force, and efficient supervis-
ion, were well stressed
Instructions and outlines for map
ping out a county program were con-
sidered in lectures and pamphlets,
and the teachers part in a school
community program was outlined to
some length. At the close of the
weeks course, the superintendent
were highly enthusiastic, and were
nothing short of inspired with the Wis
ion of greater work which had been
presented to them.
County Tax for Schools
A set of resolutions was drafted
before the close, which included the
favoring of county school tax and
more complete county unit for school
purposes the favoring of an amend
ment to the constitution of the state
which will guarantee a minimum
school term Of six months to every dis
trict, the favoring of certification Of
all teachers through the state de-
partment of education, and that
county superintendent be empowered
to grant emergency licenses; the fav-
of higher professional standard
for teachers, the favoring of the EN-
ployment of teachers for twelve
months with salary commensurate
with their services, and several 9TH

contest, Willard lost his temper on
being stung by blow of a sparring
partner. Then the big fellow landed
a vicious swing and swept his oppo-
nent and one of the ring posts to a
spot several yards away from the
ring side and that the partner" need
ed medical attention for many DAYS
afterWard.
Dempsey's friends, and they are le-
gion, confidently state that no man,
big or strong, can withstand the i'm
pact of a full weight hook or swing
from either of Jacks fists. They look
for a quick ending to the contest
with Dempsey winner. They say
that Jack can land on Wizards jaw
just as effectively as he did on Fred
Fulton's last year. They rely on
Jacks fearlessness as a big asset in
conjunction with his heavy hitting
power. Dempsey's youth is also one
of the arguments his adherents ad-
vance as being decided factor in his
favor as Dempsey is "a years old
There are conflicting statements as
to Wizards exact age, but it is the
general belief that the Kansan has
passed the forty year mark.
Dempsey has taken part in many
ring contests during the last four
years, while Willard has fought only
twice during that period Jess won
the championship from johnson at
Havana, Cuba, in April 1915. That
battle lasted twenty-six rounds. Just
eleven months after, Willard met
Frank Moran for ten rounds at the
Madison Square garden, New York.
This was no decision contest but
Moran was SO far outclassed on that
occasion that there was no question
as to Wizards having won decisively.
Since that time, March 26, 1916, Will
lard has not defended his title.
K Thousands of pistic patrons believe
that this protracted. absence from
fighting has had a deteriorating eff
feet on the big champions abilities,
while Dempsey, having been in ring
action almost constantly, will be in
much better condition.
Dempsey fought sixteen ring bat
Ties last year, and scored thirteen
knockouts. One of these with Arthur
Pelky, at Denver, went Is rounds,
two of them ended in the. sixth; Carl
Morris and Bill Brennan being the
victims, but eight of them were alb
ruptly finished in the opening round.
In addition to the three mentioned pu-
gilists Dempsey scored knockouts on
Fred Fulton, Jim Flynn, Porky Flynn,
Terry Kellar, Battling Lavinsky, and

receipts amounted to $270,000. OF
course the promoter was at an enor-
nous outlay in bringing that contest
to an issue, having been forced almost
at a moments notice to move from
California to another state, in order
to secure a battle ground. Richards
outlay for the coming battle, includ-
ing guaranteed purse, cost of arena
construction, advertising and other ex-
penses will amount to vast sum
The casual observer might think that
the promoter will still have big mar
gin of profit out Of the charges for
admission. At first glance, this
seems reasonable, but Richard is GO
ing to pay the regular war tax of 10
per cent on all tickets purchased and
has guaranteed the local authorities
a per cent also. The United States
government, however, will have a
big claim for income tax so that when
everything is deducted from ''the
gate" Richards margin of profit
probably will fall far short of the
results he attained in some of his pre-
viOuS ventures.
Some changes have been made in
the conditions governing the bout
since the original articles were sign
ed, the most important being the linn
iting of the contest to twelve rounds
and the reduction of the size of the
ring to twenty feet square. Origin
ally the men were to have gone TWEEN
ty or more rounds and the ring was to
have been a regulation "a foot ring.
Otherwise the agreement stands as
signed by Richard, Willard and Demp-
sey, each being entitled to third Of
the moving picture privileges. Will
lard is guaranteed $101, 900 and Jack
Dempsey $27,5O0.
When the men step into the ring
on Friday, each will have a follow
ing of partisans. Those who rely on
Wizards retaining his title, insist
that he is invulnerable to punishment
and that Dempsey will fail to reach
his hurley opponent with an effective
blow Many of them also claim that
Willard has never hit human being
with the full force of which his huge
frame is capable. 1t is said that once
during his preparation for a previous
