Ruth is one of those fellows pecu-

because he likes it. Undoubtedly
Ruth is getting an excellent salary,
but money isn't everything with him.
The old base hits. particularly the
home runs, have strong appeal. The
ordinary star pitcher of Ruth's ability
wouldn't relish acting as pinch hitter
playing left field or first base when
not pitching, acting as relief pitcher,

DEMPSEY SELECTS
WILLS AS TRAINER
Clever Coiored Boxer Very
Fast and Will Make Jack
Hump Himself.

NEW YORK, February S. - When
Jack Dempsey begins active prepara-
tions for his match with Jess Willard
his chief sparring partner will be Harry
Wills. the negro heavyweight, who now
is rated as by far the most formidable
of the dark-skinned boxers, At the
time certain INSCRIPTIONS persons tried
to force Dempsey to face Joe Jeanette
instead of Joe Bonds it was said that
Dempsey's main reason for refusing was
that if he met Jeanette even in bene-
fit bout the circumstances would prove
an opening wedge for the dangerous
Wills to obtain recognition.
Now that Dempsey has decided to Sc
lect Wills as one of his sparring part
ners il win be interesting to note how
the two shape up together and whether
Dempsey really has anything to fear
from his formda BILE rival. Wills now
is at the top of his FORM He is splen-
didly built athlete, with world of
speed and science, as well as the ability
to hit with knockout force.
Dempsey Hard Trainer.
z AS Dempsey is fighter who does not
know what it is to spar lightly for
points, his bouts with Wills are likely
the usual exhibitions between master
and man. When Dempsey was train
ing for his bout with Fulton he used
to slam big Battling Jim johnson for
keeps, and it is not likely that Wills
will be willing to be treated in the same
fashion without replying with spirit.
The selection of Wills is good indi-
cation OF the amount of confidence that
Dempsey has in himself II he were not
loaded down with confidence in his own
ability he hardly would care to take a
chance by having such dangerous man
around the camp.
Willard also has sent out, a call for
sparring partners, but the chances are
Waiter Monahan, who helped train him
for the Johnson fight and later acted az
his sparring partner dvring the cham
pion's circus days, will be back on the
oh. At present Monahan is in uni
form, but Willard expects to obtain his
release iy the near future.
Wizards views regarding sparring
partners are different from those of
Dempsey. The big fellow perfers to
have men in his camp whom he knows
well and who win not try to sneak one
over when he is not looking. Willard
always goes easy with his sparring
mates. There is nothing ferocious about
the big fellow, and the boxing he does
while training in no way resembles
real scrap.

Neurdsthenid's s
Course

NIERvoUs exhaustion develops
IN very slowly in most cases,
but IL may at times appear
rather suddenly after physical or
mental overrexsrtion, particularly
IL combined with worry and asso-
ctated with unfavorable physical
surroundings.
Somstimes Heurssthsnia makes a
sudden appearance after emotional
shock, acute illHess, or injury.
When the symptems are mild the
patient may not realize that any
thing serious is going on. and
hence may fail to apply the proper
remedies. But as the diseases pro-
crosses anxiety increases, the ca
pactty for work decreases, and ia
tigus becomes more and more
marked.
Occasionally. acute cases occur In
which the breakdown is decidedly
sudden. This type Of collapse ae-
counts fer the unexpected disap-
pearanee of public men off the
scene of action at times while at
the very height Of their careers.
Senator La Toilette once suffered
such a misfortune in the midst os
his campaign for the Presidency,
and more recently We have witness
ed a similar accident in the case
of Mr.. Wilson.
When the causes are not removed,
or cannot be removed, neurasthenia
tends to grow gradually worse, and
may last many years.
The course of neurasthenia is
marked by periods Of Improvement
and by periods of agEravation. The
symptoms are apt to be worse early
in the day. All the known symp-
toms are rarely present in an in
dividual case; usually some symp-
toms or group of symptoms stands
out prominently.
The shorter the period during
which the Individual has been ex-
posed to overwork and worry, and
the better the previous health, the
more favorable Is the outlook.

II is a fact that such chilling
does at times cause illness.
The prevailing sxplanatien has
been that the bleod, being driven
away from the surface OF the bedy,
is directed in~ardly so that cen-

They have shown hy iHgeniously

The Shamrock.

The shamrock appears once to
have eeen an Irish national dish.
It is no longer eaten, but in 1883
Pypes Moryson pietureseuely re-
lates that the Irish willingly eat
the herb shamrocks, being of a
sharp taste, which, a. they run and
are chased to and fro, they snatch
like beasts out Of the ditches." Ac-
cording to the generally accepted
belief, the shamrock was adopted
as the national emblem OF the Irish
because it, was the instrument Sc
lscted by st. Patrick when explain
ing TO his countrymen the doctrine
OF the Trinity. BY a strange chance
Of language, the trefoil in Arabic is
called Shamrock" and in Iran the
shamrack was held sacred as
being the emblem of the Persian
Triads. When we recall that Pliny,
in his Natural History" declares
that serpepts avoid the trefoil. 1t
seems peculiarly appropriate that
ST. Patrick. who drove these reptiles
from the Emerald Isle. should have
chosen the shamrock as his emblem.

Ho1U Much Money Does Il Girl Need
to LiUe Here? Here Are Some Fiqures

How much money does a girl need
to live on in Washington?
Or to phrase the question more
aptly. how little can a girl live on in
Washington?
AS the result of a voluntary agree
ment between employees and employ.
ers in Washington. there has been
enacted law that no woman who
mas had seven months or more of ex-
perience shall be employed in any
mercantile industry in the District at
wage less than $16.5O a week. and
that apprentices of less than seven
months experience shall be paid not
less than $3.50 a week.
The wage scale determined upon
was reached after the employees and
employers. getting together" on the
question OF expenses, figured out just
how much is required for a working
girl to support herself in the city.
The merchants in Washington were
asked by the minimum wage board
to submit estimates OF how much II
would cost a girl in clothing-dresses.
UNDERWEAR, stockings, gloves. hats.
ana other necessities in which they
were dealers. Doctors and dentists
gave expert testimonials as to the
average probable cost of their SER
vices, while the United States Hous-
ing CORPORATION gave an estimate OF
the cost of board and rent for a
working girl.
Clerks Make Estimates.
Thousands OF clerks in the depart
ment stores were asked to submit
act tiv,oa t1u Nf H..
taking into account everything from
shoe-strings TO moving picture ad-
mission prices and the tax on choco-
late supdaes. and the employers were
asked 10 figure out what they be-
'ieved was minimum yearly ex-
pensc upon which a Girl could exist.
When the estimates were combin-
ed, boiled down. hashed together, and
studied, it was found there was not
such wide difference in the vary
ing estimates; as an average they
came out about the same in each
case. The employers, however, did
make a little lower living expense for
the girl than the girl made for her
sslf. The estimates Of the girls were
approximately dollar a week larger
However. compromise was reach
ed between the employers and the
employees, and the minimum figure
was fixed at sl250 a week-to be
paid apprentices having less than
seven weeks experience.
The tabulation of the cost OF living
varied most widely in the cost Of
dressing. because many girls enter
tained different ideas about what
should and should not be worn. others
were expert with the needle them
selves, while others required the
services of a seamstress or dress
maker for the frocks not bought
ready made.
Figures for Clothes.
The figures for clothes. for one
year, follow: The estimates in the
srst column are submitted by the
employees, those in the second column
