STANDARD THE WORLD NEEDS
High Moral Example Set by Robert
Louis Stevenson Well Worth
Living Up To.

robert Louis Stevenson. refusing to
take all that was offered him for
poem he did not think his best, wrote:
u do not live much to God and honor,
but Will not willfully turn my back
on both"
In the modest words lies deep the
only standard by which man can
hope to satisfy himself with his life.
1t Is a standard the world today sore
ly needs. We hear of unrest and shall
hear of II. Why not, with so many
men and women trying to live up to
a standard set by someone else? If
they succeed, there is no happiness in
1t, for II has no sanction from their
own hearts.
The man we count successful In
material affairs and expect to find
happy Is never one who has reached
certain place. But when man
has set mark for himself In posses
sions and has kept that mark in view
until he reached 1t, we call him sue
cessfu. 1t may have been $4,000
home; 1t may have been one million
dollars But 1t was his own goal.
1t Is not less true Of his inner life.
We do not expect much of a man who
has no standard for himself Of right
and wrong. And he cannot claim any
right to contentment. II his only NOR
al standard is the law. he earns only
the minimum of satisfaction. Steven

Kept Gowns of a Lifetime.

Looking round the prodlgious dis
play of the late Princess Lobanoff's
clothing at the Hotel Drouot made you
wonder If she ever gave or threw any
thing away In her lifetime. Three
hundred or more tea gowns and eve
ming frocks, disposed of in the recent
sale of her effects, were of every date
since her wedding trosseau. Her body
linen also was of every style from the
primitive simplicity of early Victorian
ideals to the luxurious garments
adopted by the Partisan coquette to-
day.
But the embroidered and laced house
linen, the fine sheets in bundles of SO,
found more eager buyers than the
clothing Her furs were of great beadf'
ty and variety. There were coats and
cloaks Of sealskn, of dark astrakhan,
all in bewilderlng quantities. From

Physique Of Country and City Boys.

Physique OF Country and City Boys.
Under the selective draft law. regis
trants were given two physical eXami
nations, one by the local draft boards
and another by the army surgeons af-
ter the men who passed the local
board examination reached camp.
Analysis of these records of physi-
cal examinations shows that the cOun-
try boys made better records than
those from the cities; the white regis
trants better than the colored, and
the native born better records than
those of alien birth. These differ
ences are so considerable that 100000
country boys would furnish for the
military service 4.790 more soldiers
than would an equal number of city
boys. Similarly, 100000 whites would
furnish 1,240 more soldiers than would
an equal number of colored. Finally,
100000 native born would yield $500
more soldiers than would like mum.
her of foreign. The importance of
these figures may be appreciated by
noting that $500 men is equivalent to
an infantry regiment at full war
strength.

TED LEWIS TO BOX CARPENTER
 IN OLD ENGLAND

New York, Feb. 28.---F'rom London comes the news that Ted (E<iD Lewis
 he former weIterweight champion, may battle Georges Carpenter, the french idol, for the championship of Europe. What is more astounding is hat the fracas may happen, for Lewis has secured backing for 1000 pounds, which means he's willing to back him self for that amount.
 It is in the public prints of the Old World that Carpentier is due to sail this way March 13. Dons be sur prised, however, if the news is caibled that he will stay home for a few more weeks and draw down this nice piece of change. Five thousand pounds is 5, 600 pounds, even to a French hero.
 At first glance this would look like a ridiculous match, but from the dopo across the pond, Lewis would only b.. giving away something like r pounds and that infiritesimaI sum never both CTS Lewis when he fought around here.

Manager Hug gins has been laid up at his hotel for the past few days with a bad cold but expects to be able to start with his players. Several more new contracts piled into the Yankee office yesterday Warren Collins, Mario De VataIis. Bob McGraw, Walter SmaIlwood. Chick Fewster and Dan Murphy fell into line.
 Good tidingS were also received from Duffy Lewis and Bob Meusel. These two have left the Pacific Coast and will join the other players at Jackson vile on Monday. They have not signed yet, but there is no doubt that a satisfactory adjustment will be made of their salary differences. Manager Higgins expects to have definite word from Truck Hannah, Aaron Ward and Frank ODoul before leaving for the South this evening.
 In the party which will leave with Manager Higgins will be Babe Ruth, the home run slugger; George Mo- gridge, Herbert Thermahlen, Ping Bo- die, Mario De Vitalis, Walter Small wood, Dan Murphy, Benny Geiser and Doc" Woods the trainer.

FEAR ATHLETES WON'T
 WIN 0LYMPICS

New York, Feb. 2S.-Ever since the British Olympic Council decided to send representatives from Great Britain to compete in the seventh O1ympiad at Antwerp next summer, our English cousins have been trying to hit upon some plan for developing a winning team.
 The general feeling among English athletic officials is that their athletes will compete at a lamentable disad- vantage against other nations whose athletic organization has remained I.-ore or less untouched by the war, and the flower of whose athletic youth has been substantially spared.
 It is futile they say to compete against the Americans, and humiIiat- ing for their casual representatives 10 demonstrate their inferiority to the skilled professors wno leave nothing to chance. And nlogicalIy enough, this school alternately expresses con- tempt and scorn for the ''professional methods of the Americans, and re- viles the apathy of their own athletic youth for not initiating them.
 There is one Englishman however, who does not coincide with these views and his opinion is highly val ued in British athletic circles because
 
 eighteen years experience of compe- tition, has been prominently associa- ted with the promotion organization and administration or any important athletic contests, and scientific ob- server for many years of the ana tomical, physiological and psychoIog- ical principles involved in strenuous and competitive exercises.
 The gentleman referred to is Adol- phe Abrahams, M. R. c. P, and med- ical officer to the British Olympic Athletic Team at Stockholm in 1912. This is what he has to say on the sub- ject:
 'fI do not intend to deal with the question whether as an institution Olympic games are to be encouraged or not, but to confine myself to ths- more practical consideration whether or not we should compete at a disad- vantage, and if so, why. The under lying fallacy in those who condemn the American methods of training. and those who condemn our athletes for not initiating them is identical the fallacy that athletic superiority is a matter of training.
 Were this. so the degree of atI1- letic attainment would only be linn tied by the amount of time and trouble expended in training. But ordinary frst-class athletes are so far from possessing the capacity for de- velopment into an Olympic winner. super athlete, as an ordinary first class tenor is from being developed into a Caruso, notwithstanding the expenditure of unlimited time, ener- gy and money.
 Tt is question of raw material. and, as was abundantly demonstrated at the Stockholm games, nature with her own ideas of aristocracy will dis tribute the geniuses of athletes in any quarter of the globe, leaving none with a monopoly"

BOCASH-ALLEN
 FIGHT MAY BE HELD IN ARENA
By G. c. Hawman.)

The rumor of a Bogash-Al1en bout to be held in this city some time if March at which a number of disputes were to be settled---the welter or lightweight title and a personal affair been taken off the boards entirely as is evidenced in a statement made to- day HOy a number of sporting promot- CTS interested in the game in this city.
 If Bogash will agaae en eae terms submitted by these prom oters the bout vii be pulled off in this city in the early part of May, to be held in the open. The site has not been decided upon as yet, but according to one pro- moter, will probably take place on the circus grounds or in another park sit uated on the outskirts of the city. It is proposed to build an arena similar to the one built in Waterbury last summer for the Pete Herman-Joe oe Lynch affair.
 According to the statement three local men will stage the bout, Fritz Musante, Connie Lewis and Joe Null vihill Toby Owens, manager of Johnny Red Allen, said today that ''Red" is the legitimate lightweight title holder of the state and is willing to step into the ring with any of those who have been hiring press agents to bill them as the state lightweight champion,'' but as Bogash is the rec ognized welterweight title holder O.

BUY LAND FOR NEW BALL PARK
 IN NEW HAVEN

New Haven, Feb. 28 - It became known last night that property in Hamden located between Helen and Wooding streets had been sold by its former owner, William I. Munson of Hamden. The plot of ground fronts 425 feet on Woodihg street and $50 on Wooding street and is located di- rectly opposite the Marlin-ROckwen Corp. on Dixwell avenue.
 According to the information re- ceived last evening the bill of sale for the property is made out to Henry Falsey of this city, and the circum- stances connected with the matter point to the use of the ground for the home of the new ball park planned for the New Haven baseball club, as announced previously this week. The reported price of the land is $14,O00, and this amount will presumably be handled by the new corporation con templated by leading citizens of this city to better park facilities for the local baseball Cluo.-
 Although the deeds for the trans action haven't been filed in the Ham den town clerks office as yet. the in formation came from a very reliable and authentic source, and there is no reason to doubt but what the pur- chase of this property is the first step in giving local fans an opportunity oI going to ball games without the long and inconvenient ride to the Savin Rock grounds.
