The gold-tipped cigarette won't go,

feverishly, in the boudoir and the
drawing room and the occasional cafe
and even on the golf course, up

clude that women do not take to
smoking naturally, as men seem to-
The men Of this generation usually
started with rabbit-tobacco, So
called, or grape vines. Or dried fig
leaves, which thus have been put
to another use among young and
ingenious persons. Rattan also has
been used in connection with early
smoking, to supply the smoke first
at one end of the nephyte's system
and then at the other, when his dad
caught him at it.
But women do not take up the
habit, or make desperate and ,secre-
tive efforts to take it up at so
early an age as men. Nowadays a
woman usually is at least fifteen

County Nayo, Ireland, and came to
this country when still youugstcr.
lie started boxing In 1914 around
Chicago. His first year he had u
..gtHS and won ten OF them b,
knockouts. In 1918 he had seven
knOCkouts. In 1916 he became
prominent and had - fights. nlne-
teen OF which We won by the knock
out route. In that year he met such
notablcs as Tom COwler. Homer
Smith, Andre Anderson, Boer Rodcl.

The following year Brennan had
% fights and won nine Of them hy
knoCkouts. laying low such men as
Tex Mccarthy, Al Benedict and Joe
Cox. He also fought Battling I.c-
Whisky, Barley Madden and others
Of that type.
In 1918 Brennan was in the war
and had but. four fights. one of
which was the battle with Demp-
sey. He also met Lcvinsky and
Madden.
Last year Brennan had II fights
and won five by knockouts, two OF
his victims being Jack Burke and
Tom Mcmahon. lie boxed Harry
Greb four times In one year, losing
one decision to him. He also WAS
outpointed by Billy Miskc.
This year Brennan has been box

well against such fighters as Harry
