TRUE TO TRADITIONS OF SEA
BIueJaekets Would Accept No Reward

Several Indianapolis men were pas

the following story:

as busy as bees helping care for the

said that 500 would about square
things with him, but added that the

COWLER PROVED
GAME IN LATE BOUT
Australian Took Severe Beating
From Billy Miske.
st. Paul Heavyweight Never Let op-
ponent Get Set for Punch--Min-
nesota Fighter Injured His Hand
In Second Round.

Tom COwler. the Australian heavy
weight, while he failed to show cham
pionship caliber in his recent bout
with Billy Miske of st. Paul, proved
to be a game boxer with his heart in
the right place, writes Billy Recap in
Philadelphia Ledger. Few men would
have gotten up after being sent to
the floor like Cowlcr was in the first
round. AIishe caught him with
right-hand lead flush on the jaw with
all of his $50 pounds back of IL. The
Australian was UP ut the count of
seven. His eyes were CLASSY, legs
a-tremble and his arms dropped to his
side. Miske tore In to finish him and
Cowler instinctively clinched until he
got his bearings. After that round he
stood up and took all that Miske could
hand out. And he took lot, too
enough to send half u dozen ordinary
men to dreamland.
That Mlske tried to win by the
knockout route no one can deny. He
unfortunately injured his right hand
In the latter part of the second round,
by hitting Cowler on top of the head.

LvAT|QN ARMY
DRIVE FOR FUNDS
STARTS JUNE IS
Campaign Will Last a Week
and Will Open and Close in.
Each County at Same Timei
EIkS Are Backing Project.

According TO announcement made
by r. j. Mabry, state chairman for the
salvation Army nome service fund
drive in New Mexico, June 16 is the
date set for the opening of the cam
paign in this state. The next four
weeks will be devoted to organizing
the necessary working machinery in
e&ery county in the state. 1t is hoped
to wind up the drive in seven days.
An effort will be made, it was stated
yesterday, 10 open and close the cam
paign in each county at the same time.
Within few days the quotas of the
Narious counties will have been fixed
by the national headquarters. 1t is es-
tmated that great deal more will be
required of New Mexico in this drive
than in the drive last summer, Just
prior to the combined campaign under
the United War Work committee, but
the quota in the nation probably will
be less than it was last year.
The funds raised in the coming
campaign are to be used in commun-
ity work, according to the Salvation
lists. The old way of begging from the
business men and others each week
and depending upon the uncertainties
of the tambourine collections is to be
supplanted by the better business
method OF raising at one time the
funds needed by the army for the next
two years and depending upon peo-
pie outside of the army to put the
matter over.
1t is planned to have the Elksl
throughout the state sponsor the
drive and put behind the movement
their splendid organization.
Albuquerque and Roswell, where the,
two largest Salvation Army corps are
maintained in this state, are naturally
expected to be the largest contributors
in this campaign. All the money raised
isto be spent in New Mexico in home
service work. So, it is pointed out. in
giving money here it goes out of one
pocket to return to another merely, |
and the communities are being re-
lieved of the unenvable burden of
taking care of the unfortunate and
needy such as the Salvation Army

ESSEX WINS CLASS
H0N0RS IN CLIMB

/, Climbing eight tortuous miles to
an elevation of nearly 5000 feet in the
amazing time of nineteen minutes and
four seconds, an Essex won first place
in the light car class and second
place in the entire field in competition
with some of the most costly cars
built in the Rim Of-the-World Hill
Climb at San Bernardino, Calf
The Essex was driven by Arthur
Fuller of Los Angeles, and its showing
is regarded as unusually remarkable
when it is considered that the contest
wheels near collapse as a result of q
skid into the mOuntainside.
Never was a race in America staged
under moro dramatic settings. Dense
waves of binding fog swept up
through the Waterman canyon, OBJ
securing the famous sWitchbacks from
the spectators below. But despite this
all the cars made the race without Sc
rious accident although there were
several very narrow escapes
1T was the most difficult hill climb
ever held in California" said Mr.. Full
ler There was no successful rival
of the Essex in its class. Even In the
heavy car class it was only car cost
ing almost twice as much and having
over twice the piston displacement
that made any better time
THE Essex is a car that can climb
ihe steepest and longest grades with
out overheating, That had much to do
with our victory A cool motor also
means freedom from lubricating trou-
bles."
