ST. MARY'S RETREATS
Eleventh Season of Laymen's Affairs
Begins July IL.

Laymen's retreats at St Mary's COL
lege, St. Marys, Kan, which have be-
come so popular during the past ten
years, are announced again for the
coming summer to take place as fol-
lows:
First retreat-July II, IS, 14-for
knights of Columbus.
Second retreat-July 10, 20. 81.
Third retreat-August 2, 3. 4.
Fourth retreat-August 16. II, IS.
At the request of the Knights of
Columbus, the first retreat has been
reserved for them. Attendance at it is
not limited, however. to Kansas mem
bers. Those from any state will be
admitted. State Deputy James F.
Sheehy has appointed Richard c. Err
bacher and Prof. John F. Ryan, both
of ST. Marys, as a special committee
to take charge of the retreat on the
part of the Knights.
The coming season opens new
decade for this work, the first retreat
for laymen having been held in 1903.
Since then, when only thirty-four
men attended, the work has grown so
that four retreats are needed during
the summer to satisfy the demands OF
the three hundred or more VINO regu-
larly attend.
1t is expected that, owing to the
spirit of sacrifice and the seriousness
which the war has brought to many,
the attendance will show a large in
crease TINS year. 1t is noped, 100 tndl
with the development of spiritual, life
the growth of the retreat movement
will make necessary in a few years the
establishment of a house of retreats,
open not only during the summer
months, but all thru the year. Such
a resort centrally located would en-.
able groups of men to leave their bust
ness at any time, according to their
convenience, and give three days to
the systematic study of their souls
business.
Father Huffman will again be in
general charge of the retreats at st.

SPORT NOTES
FIGHT FANS UP IN AIR
Cannot Reconcile heavyweight Cham
Pionship Battle With 12-Round Bout.

New York, May THE Willard
Dempsey heavyweight championship
bout scheduled for July 4. at Toledo,
was the one topic of discussion among
eastern fight followers during the past
twenty-four hours.
While there is evidence of a wide
difference of opinion regarding the
outcome there is no record of wager
ing at this time. In fact those who
take more than a passing interest in
ring affairs find it difficult to recon
cile the idea of a heavyweight cham
pionship battle with the Iwelve-round
contest which it is proposed to stage
on the shores of Lake Erie. The
glamour which surrounded the virtual
fights-to-a- finish. in which Sullivan.
Corbett E'itzsimmons, Jeffries and
even johnson defended their titles, ap-
pears to be lacking in this contest.
1t is also a decided ring novelty for
a heavyweight champion to agree to
place his title in jeopardy by a ref
eree's decision over such a short route.
Many expressed the opinion that it
showed remarkable confidence on the
part of Willard to- successfully defend
his titular honors against the rushing
tactics of as formidable an opponent
as Jack Dempsey.
Since the days of John L. Sullivan.
championship contests in this class
have ranged from twenty rounds up
ward. The Sullivan-Corbett bout was
scheduled for twenty-five rounds A
similar distance was set for the Cor
bett-FitzsimmonS battle at Carson
City.
Jeffries won the title from Fitz-
simmons at Coney Island in a fight
which was scheduled to go twenty
five rounds The Johnson-Jeffriesa and
Willard bouts provided for
an extreme limit of more than forty
rounds.
The average for the heavyweight
titular battles fought since the night
that Corbett stopped Sullivan in New
Orleans in 1892 has been thirteen and
two-thirds rounds per fight. Willard
holds the duration record, for it took
him twenty-siX rounds to finish off
Johnson in Havana. OF these seven
teen bouts but four ended in less than
double figure rounds and nine went
more than twelve rounds before the
winner landed the knockout blow.

SUFFRAGE TALKS AT C|V|TAN LUNCHEON Federal Amendment and How It Becomes Effec-
 tive Explained

Yesterday was woman suffrage day at the Civitan club. It had been an- nounced that Mrs. Solon Jacobs. Mrs. W. l., Murdoch and other suffrage lead CTS would address the Civitan members at their weekly luncheon at the South ern club and a good percentage of the members were on hand to hear them
 President Courtney w. Shropshire had been absent from the city two weeks and was late arriving and de- clfned to take the chair stating that he wanted to sit back with the 'bunch' one time and see how Vice President McCleery acquitted himself.
 When the luncehon had been disposed of Vice President McCleery requeste<l Mrs. H. H. Shell to introduce the suf- fragetts to the club members, and each of the dozen or more present was in turn presented
 Mrs W. L. Murdoch made a short talk on woman suffrage, stating that it was not a question now of the vote being given to the women but how and she left it to Mrs. Solon Jacobs to explain the "modus operandi."
 Mrs. Jacobs read the nineteenth amendment to the federal constitution which, if ratified by 36 states, will en- franchise the women of the nation. She insisted that the Alabama legislature, which reconvenes on July 8, should ratify the amendment, stating that more than twothirds of the states would do so, but the women of Ala bama looked to the men of the state to help them get the vote
 While not making it as a threat, Mrs Jacobs stated that the women of the nation are watching the actions of the politicial parties and that it might be that the party that gives them the vote will receive their votes when they are enfranchised
 History tells us that when the vote has been conferred on a group of citi- zens that group. as rule, votes for the party that gave it the vote," said Mrs. Jacobs. The democrats, when in control of Congress, refused to adopt the woman suffrage amendment al- though President Wilson made a per sonal appeal to them to do so. thereby breaking precedents. When the repub- licans gained control of the Congress the first thing they did was to pass the amendment.''
 Mrs Jacobs appealed to the members of the Civitan club to use their in- flunece with the Jefferson county dele gation, majority of which, she said, are for the amendment, in securing their, support for the women
 She singled out one of the represen- tatives who is a member of the club, requesting the members to try to pre- vail upon him to vote for ratification.
