PUTNAM TO HAVE PRIZE FIGHT.
INC7

With the return of our boys from
France there has been good deal Of
agitation for revival Of boxing. The
adherents of the movement claim that
the boys enjoyed the manly art to the
utmost without hurting themselves
morally or physically. In fact, they
state that boxing matches not only
served to increase the morale of the
army while at play or work, but that
it served to make courageous, healthy
men fit to battle clearly and strenu-
ously throughout ife's hard struggle
The movement is being sponsored
by high officials Of both the army and
navy as well as many of the most
prominent men in public life, who
state that they desire to eliminate the
vicious, mercenary element which has
always made professional boxing a
game of thugs and crooks.

seems to have been brought In by the
director OF roads Of the American
Automobile association. who suggests
consideration Of the wear and tear of
the roads on automobiles. Automo-
bile traffic now wears out something
like 40,O00,0O0 tires year, costing au-
tomobile owners something like ST.
0OO,000,000; and on the roads as they
now are, II can be argued. from data
already accumulated, that the tractive

varies from 20 pounds or less on one
kind Of road to 300 pounds or more
on another. The consumption OF gaso-
line also is said to vary with the char
acter of the road on which an auto
mobile is travelling. The idea Is sur
prising, but II seems not impossible
that considerable part Of the cost Of
building a national system Of roads
that would produce the least possible
wear and tear on automobiles would
be balanced by the decreased expense
for tires.
