The Hardfaced Siren.


Haven't you seen them at dances,
restaurants, or summer resorts,
this febrile type of siren that some
man or other has been successfully
rushing" for the past ten years?
Her eyes have acquired the hard
rowing look of one who must be
ever on the alert, for the "rushes"
occupy shorter period as time
goes on. When Tom shows symp-
toms of slipping, Dick must be
pressed into his place, with Harry
kept under observation as a DOS
sible successor. This sort of thing
becomes an endless chain of tenn
porary fates.
The destiny of such a girl is
sealed in the town where she has
exercised her hectic spell. All the
eligibles have rushed" but none
had the courage to domesticate.
Sometimes she visits another city
and returns engaged or the wife of
some quiet, steady chap, who can't
understand why SO brilliant and
cosmopolitan type has been will
ing to marry him.
And everyone is so glad, glad
that poor Gladys is settled at
last" that they shower wedding
presents and forget and forgive,
for we all love happy endings even

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
If you and everyone else who is
working for the upIift OF humanity

do to keep folks from falling into

much more effective. Reason from

any other way than the method en-
ployed in killing the snake. You

her to use her conscience instead

as good as any city, but it lacks a

self. Pathetically she weeps while
recounting all the girls bless

the summer vacations, and che

need. And the poor lady can't
understand how Mary, with her

in the world to blame her for

- as a topic. Then some one
writes ostensibly about kissing,
but unconsciously opening up some
thing much more important that
hinges on this much-discussed SUBJ
ject.
Take the following letter, for in

sympathy from her mother, decides
that life is more tolerable II she
allows an occasional young man
to kiss her and this, with no pre-

This letter should make every
mother stop and consider the
amount of sympathy and under
standing her daughter is getting at

gentle art Of kissing evoked such
a storm of protest a week or so

Jess Willard retired from the ring
worth something between s350,000 and
$500. 900, according to his intimates.
He fought three fights to get this for.
tune, in space Of less than five
years, and for the first one he re-
ceived no actual money for fighting.
In the history of the ring there is
no precedent for the financial success
that attended WIZARDS later career
which averaged in fights. and their
by-products, about s125,000 or more
per battle,
Jack Dempsey had few thousand
dollars before he fought Willard.
Added to the $685. 900 or so he netted
from the title contest, he msy possi-
bly, have $4,000 today. But indica-
lions are that he will upset the finan-
cial record set by Willard.
Dempsey has an offer of s125.0na
for a fight with Beckett OF Carpenter
which would make his total $275,0O0
for one year or less.
The imagination will do the rest.
Every time he defends his title it will
be good for $4,000 and upwards to
him. Thus Dempsey. If he retains his
title for five years. at the age of ~

CINCINNATI
WINS REMNANT
Nothing But Flock Of Broken Legs
Can Keep Reds From Being
National League.
Champs.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25-"Its all over
now but the shouting"
Reds away from the National league
bunting but a flock of broken legs or
an ascension that will set new altitude
records.
The past weeks performance of the
stampeding Moran crew would make a
blind man see why the Reds are out
there with a lead Of nearly eight
games over the faltering Giants.
The Cincinnati crew lacks only one
point of leading the league in batting
and their pitchers have been going
like a house afire. Six OF them
Reuther, Leque, Sallee, Eller, Ring
and Fisher-rank among the leading
ten hurlers Of the league. On the field
they have been playing a game al
most sensational
And in addition to that Pat Moran
has filled the club with a world of
fighting spirit as was evidenced Sat
urday at Philadelphia when they cam
to bat in the ninth inning on the tail
end of a 3 to 0 score and pulled the
runs.
BY taking the series from the
Giants, the Robins. the Braves and
with a flying start on the Phillies, 1t
seems that the Reds are in line to set
a record on their trip by taking every
series. Their performance on this
present trip has been far the best in
the league this year.
