Years ago, when the grown women of today were little women in pinafores, Easter Sun- day was the great day of the year. For on Easter, the spring bonnet made its first appearance.
 Spring bonnets and Easter are no longer contemporaries. There's no set date any more for the blooming of spring hats-more of them appear in February than in April.
 The "spring millinery" open ings are with us now and the new hats beckon seductiyely.
 Like the siren song to the nav igators of the golden age is mil linery to the modern woman. No woman can resist it's lure-only she doesn't call it a lure. She would probably say: But a / woman never has enough hats, you know" As to why woman ''just loves hats" we can only

Those Wonder r-WorkinS Hats

give a woman's reason-"be- cause"-that's all.
 Any mere man who has the hardihood to peep into the mil- linery stores and departments about now will quickly realize why this is so. For the styles are wonderfully fetching-they were intended to be. That's one of the ways of hat, one of the reasons hats occupy so large share of woman's time and attention. They make the fair sex fairer.
 Now, mister, perhaps you'll be willing to admit that women's hats don't cost so much after all. You see, it isn't the trifle of. vel vet and straw and ribbon that makes the price of a hat-it's the marvel that happens when the hat is worn.
 Women may find wonder working hats at prices that make the milliner's bill easy to pay if they only

 big end. And the dub certainly would
 battle to the absolute limit of his powers
 in an effort to grab off the bigger share.
 In other words, when the larger diVl
 sion of the purse depended entirely upon
 the outcome of the contest. it would be an
 absolute cinch that the battles in the
 ring would be first-class affairs froiu
 start to finish and the public always would get a run for it's money. There hasn't been for many years q
 standardized scale of weights for the
 various divisions. Different states have
 passed different rules as to what should
 be the poundage, In some common
 wealths lightweight is man who
 weighs 133 pounds, in others he weighs
 135. and in still others 1S7 is looked upon
 as the lightweight limit. The differen'
 laws provide different times for weigh ing in. Some fighters are permitted to
 weigh in during the afternoon which means from five to 10 hours before the fight. If they beam 135 in the afternoon it is quite likely they will notch be- yond 40 when they climb into the ring. And that's not the lightweight limit
 There should not only be standard rule governing the weights put there should also be a standardization Of the weighing-in time.
 The formation of a national poXins commission is something that l have
 urged very frequently and I think tha- there never was time when l felt II would be better for boxing than at thls moment. The mitt sport is coming paci' with loud hurrah. Everywhere through out the country where boxing has been dead for many years there is an agita- tion for revival. It is more than likely that before the end of 1919 boxing Will be permissible in at least half or the states of the union. With the game flourshing on so large a scale. the time is ripe for national boxing commis- sion which will have. full supervlsloa over ring affairs.

The bouts will start promptly at S;S0 with 10 minutes for preliminary matches and 15 for finals. In case of a draw five. minutes extra may be al- lowed by the referee. All entries have been notified to report at the B. A. c tomorrow afternoon at 6:S0 and by weighed in and classified. Local fam dom will be delighted to learn that Jack Riddle and Karl Landgrebe. two of the best known and cleanest sports men in the south. will officiate.
 Undoubtedly the greatest attraction of the tournament will be Karl Kunert. who holds both the national heavy weight and 175-pound titles. Kunert is said to be one -of the greatest amateurs that ever lived, and the wrestling bugs present tomorrow night will watch his work carefully. In the 125-pound class Max Cans of Chicago is doped to win, but Max will have the stiffest kind of opposition. At present he holds the A. A. U. championship in his class
