First handkerchief.

Handkerchiefs were in use in Eng
land as early as the time of Queen
Elizabeth. At first they were used only
by women and were not particularly
in favor in public places. Silk hand
kerchiefs embroidered and fringed silk
arr mentioned in the chronicles Of
that queens reign. In this country
they were not in favor for public use.
Abigail Adams in her Familiar Let
ters'' says that IAN order has been
given in this town that no person shall
be seen to wipe his face with white
handkerchief in this town."-July 1775,
page 81. Their usefulness, however,
overcame prejudice and both sexes in
time found the handkerchief to be in
djspensable.

Friction a Necessity.

Progress needs brakes as well as mo-
tors. Progress is not matter of lev
els, but of hills and valleys. Brake
less progress is the uncontrolled ma
chine on the steep downgrade. You
are the master who holds the control.
Make your life keen, thoughtful and
consfderate. You will find much in
fellowship that will suggest friction,
but you will also be able to turn that
friction to account If you see things
in the right perspective. Some folks
will growl no matter what happens.
Let them growl. They must have a
safety valve. You do your part and
you will learn where to apply the fric'
ton that makes life go-Exchange.

drawn out to get the job. That is how much Dempsey and 1 care about the referee matter. I understand that Willard is holding out for Rickard to referee. We arc not holding out for anyone"
 As Major Tony Riddle, president of the army, navy, and civilian board of boxing control, did not arrive yester day, no action was taken on the ques- ton of referee. Secretary Adam Rem pie and W. A. Gavin are much dis turbed over developments.
 According to the articles Of agree m cnt, the boxers were to have first trial to agree on @ referee. Failing in this. the duty of selecting the official was to have devolved on Tex Rickard. Evidently the promoter thought he had enough worries without picking a referee, and therefore he and the boxers and the members of the To ledo commission reached an agree mcnt whereby the task was shunted over to the board of boxing control,
 This body did not desire to take ar bitrary action, and therefore submit ted to tho boxers a, list of names of candidates from which it was expected q selection would be agreed on. Will lard tossed the entire list back to the board and the Toledo mon declared that the ony name they would con sider was that of Pecord. Rickard is worried over tho situation, but said he hoped to have the matter strengthened out before the end of the week.
 Arena Near1y Ready.
 The huge arena in Bayview park where the combat will be staged, is nearing completion. James McLAugh- lin, the contractor, conducted a party of newspaper men to the spot yester day afternoon and explained the sys- tems of exits and entrances. The wooden seats are being nailed down. The outer walls arc in place. A straight line across the enclosure will hold 80,000 persons, making it the largest arena ever built for any sport ing event. It's cost will be S150,000. Ric5ard announced that the seat sales to date was s400,000, but as the arena will hold 2, $1,0O0.000 crowd there arc still plenty of good seats.
