Story Goes to Show Natural Rivalry
Between Various Branches of
American Military Service y

They tell a story about Eddie Near
ing, middleweight boxer, now aboard
an American warship, which goes to
show the intense natural rivalry be-
tween the various branches of the
American military service.
1t seems that Meanings ship was
being held up at French port some
time ago and that the members of the
crew, including Nearing, were allowed
to take a jaunt to Paris. There, in
their meanderings, they met up with
members of the crew of another Amer
lean vessel which boosted Of Joe Bor
rell, former Philadelphia middle
weight.
The argument regarding the respec-
tive merits Of Borrell and Nearing
waged heavy between the crews, until
finally it was arranged that the two
boxers would meet to settle the dis
pute. Nearing was not on hand when
| the discussion arose but that did not
matter to the gobs. He was signed
up by proxy to battle Borrell.
On returning to the vessel Nearing
was notified by the captain that
match had been arranged for him.
who's the guy I'm to meet?" asked
Nearing.
"What's the difference who he fs?'
answered the captain. II don't remem-

Apparently the point has been
reached where the demands of traffic
have exceeded the strength of the
average road to meet them. High
ways designed to withstand the
pounding Of ordinary loads, that have
stood up under imposts they were in
tended to sustain, no longer appear
to be adequate to meet the present
day conditions. Congestion on our
railways, possibly more acute in some
sections than In others, has put upon
our roads transportation burden new
er expected and consequently not pro-
vided for by the engineers who design
ed the highway systems of the states.
Roads have been designed with the
same care as given to other structures
and with the same regard for the pur-
poses for which they were constructed
and the burdens they were called upon
to bear. Widespread. failure is dem
onstrative Of the fact that roads can
not carry unlimited loading. Their ca

IRISH DON'T LIKE BASEBALL
First International Contest Did Not
Take With f!atives-Game Played
on Muddy Field.

Irishmen in Ireland must differ from
those in the United States, or the real
sports have all gone to war. A Dub
lin dispatch says that the first inter-
national game staged there several
days ago between a team composed OF
American troops and squad made up
of Canadian soldiers did not seem to
take very we'll with the Irish popula-
ton.
The weather, it is believed is the
main reason for Dublin turning down
the game. 1t was played in puddles
and the men taking part in the game
were mud from head to foot, which
evidently did not agree with the Irish
sport idea.

to be of such grave nature that it is

Many demands are made of the lat
est sweaters-they must be coy and
pretty and they must not be bulky, to
start with. They must be in line with
the styles and at the same time-f
they are to be succeSsful-they must
have attractive variations and original
touches to give them distinction.
Sweaters, as a part of the wardrobe,
are as much a matter of course as
shoes and stockings and variety is the
spice that flavOrs them.
The last arrival in Slip-Over sweat
ers has made its entrance on fashions
stage. and its portrait appeals to us
for consideration in the picture above.

hardly fail. It is closely knit and
