MAY MATCH ADAlR
WITH TOLEDO NOVICE

Enthusiastic boxing fans are eager
70 see a bout between Sam Mendel-
sohn, of Toledo. and Barney Adair,
who recently won the decision over
Jimmy Hanlon. Mendelsohn showed
in his bout with Maurice Flynn that
he possessed everything known to
the boxing game. With pretty
straight left and past master at
infghtng he sure looked like a mil
lion dollars in that battle. Both OF
these boys are fast and willing mix
ers and would without doubt pro
vide more action than the facts would
be able to see in many day.
The proposed plans would call for
a ten.round bout at 1876 pounds. The
battle from the box office standpoint
would be a rip-roaring success as well
as furnishing value received to the
patrons Negotiations will no doubt
soon be under way and will result in
obtaining the signatures OF the two
above mentioned men for real old
fashioned smuggling bee.

CAPITALIZE GOOD TASTE

A woman's good taste Is a part OF
her stock in trade and could be made
much more widely remunerative than
1t now Is One would naturally sup
pose that the success OF an auction de-
pended mainly upon the wit and skill
Of the auctioneer. A prominent auc-
ton house in New York City has dis
covered that a woman's good taste in
showing up things artistically, or In
their true relations, or with a suggest
ed use Is quite as valuable an asset as
a vouble auctioneer For example, in
sale Of oriental goods were some
handsome old bird cages, wonderful
creations In tortoise shell, black lac
quer, ivory and jade. There were
seven cages in all, and so spirited was
the bidding that they brought prices
ranging from $410 to 800. The thing
that did It was not anything said or
done by the auctioneer, but the fact
that in anticipation OF the sale there
had been put in each cage pair Of
singing and twittering birds exactly
suited in color to the cages In which
they were placed Cages and birds
made a symphony of color. Without
the birds in them the cages would not
have brought half the price. Who but
a woman would haze thought Of it?
The same auction house has found
that a suitable and artistic arrange
ment of goods, all under the deft hand
Of It's woman specialist. adds many
dollars to the sales.-Frances Frear.

THE BAD coy NEEDS FRIENDS

No other boy needs friend so much
as a bad boy Many times he is bad
lust because of a bad environment,
and because he has no one to turn to
for advice and help. Sometimes a
man may reach bad boy most eff
fectively, and the Big Brother move
ment, which has spread from New
York to many other cities, shows
how. The Big Sisters, a companion
organization to the other, is demon
strating how in her own way a woman
may help a bad boy to become a good
man.
Mrs. Ralph Helmer, President Of
the Big Sisters of the Borough of
Queens, New York City, tells Of two
small boys whom Mrs. Charles Dana
Gibson once undertook to reform. One
Of the youngsters was heard saying TO
the other: Yer mightn't believe what
she says, but you'll fall fer her looks"
So here's line of in influence Big
Sister has which is not open to Big
Brother. So simple is the idea back
u lutoc t"O 4l4ON'AiSAI~" t''o'I al : i'm
/ y follow it whether connected with
an organization or not. You don't
need TO take the boy you are going to
help into your own home, but simply
get into close touch with him in his
own home, and by friendly advice and
sympathy, and by practical assistance
when needful, help him to rise above
his surroundings and to develop him
into a good citizen.-Franccs Frear, in
Leslie's.
