Georges Demonstrates De- fenSive Tactics Learned
 During Recent Workouts

Manhassett N. Y, June 20.-Inhve rounds of sparring this afternoon two witr the French lightweight, Marcel Denis and three with the negro heavyweight. Joe Jeanette, Georges Carpenter exhibited the de- fensive tactics he has been develop ing in private workouts behind ths training camps barn.
 Many of the experts asked Mansger Descamps to let Georges show sonse- thing and they were so insistent that the willy little Frenchman consented. Carpentier called on Denis first and he went al such speed that the little fellow appeared slow in comparison. He hurt Denis badly when on one occasion his right crashed into the ughtweights jaw. He shouted; "Oh. and caught Denis in his arms to save him from a fall.
 Carpenter has been taking lessons in defense from Jeanette who was noted for his ability at this part Of thS 6dhNs Nlth btdHtNtt hN even faster than he had with Denis. He evaded Joe's punches with a smile and worked and uppercut we'll. He had Jeanette blowing at the erii of the three rounds. Jeanette re- marked afterward that the French man was better than he ever had been on the desense.
 
 all departments of the game since our fight in Paris he said. He can hit twice as hard and he is twice as hard to hit In addition to this, he can take aworld of punishment Tn fact he always was hog for punishment. The harder you hit him the broader his smile.'
 Large Crowd Present
 A crowd of several hundred per sons saw the challenger at work some of them were newspaperme and most of the others were invited guests. There were about 50 boys and girls from the public school at Great Neck, Long Island, They oc- cupied ringside seats along side q score of wounded veterans who were brought on stretchers in ambulances from Polyclinic Hospital in Manhat- tan. some were HleihoSIS VI t"S Manhasset trspshooters' club whose grounds adjoin the training camp and the rest were friends and ac- Quaintances.
 Gunboat Smith was one Of the most interested spectators. He praised the challenger for his speed and hitting ability but ventured the opinion that he was not good enough to heat the charr1pion.
 Hello, Buddy"
 When Georges came from the house to the gymnasium he espied a veteran of the late war sitting on stool by the ring. Calling to mana ger Descamps to wait, he pushed his way through the crowd ana shook hands with the veteran
 Hello, buddy" he said. Glad to see you" ,.
 The sparring was followed by Is minutes of rope jumping and worK on the mat, the latter for develop ment of the abdominal muscles When the work was finished the crowd applauded and Georges curt esied gracefully. He donned his rope waved his hand, called good nignt' and skipped to the house.

SECRETS Will OUT

A new use has been found for ether,
and the criminal element of our popu-
lation is not pleased. In time their I'M
easiness may develop into a panic.
1t has been demonstrated by practi-
cal experiment that small amount of
ether administered to a person-an a
mount sufficient to place him under its
influence and yet leaving him conscious
will cause that person to respond
readily to any question, to babble his
Utmost secrets.
Just what effect information secur-
ed in this maner will have in law is
unknown, as its admissibility is yet to
be ascertained. But the fact remains
that this opens up possible way of
detecting crime and of solving many of
the mysteries that now battle the pc
lice of the country
Then, too, if employed in ferret
ing out violations of the prohibition
law there is no limit to the consterna-
ton it may create. 1t may even cause
half Of the population of che United
States to decamp for parts unknown.
Gosh!

A new CAREER
CARVED OUT

One of the silent changes that are
taking place is the invasion of the
fields of finance and insurance by A
merican business women.
There are now many women execu-
tives in the largest banking, broker
age and insurance firms. Some of these
companies have special women's de-
partment; but many others are making
no such distinction, the women selling
bonds, stocks and insurance to both
women and men buyers alike. The
really new discovery in this field is
that investors are looking for people
who are well informed and have good
judgment, and that they will buy from
such people regardless of their sex.
At present there are. several thou
sand women in the insurance field a.
lone, and the big insurance companies
are gradually increasing the number
on their force. Many Of them are max
ing from $4,000 to $4,000, while at
least two of them are known to be earn
ing $4,000 per year.
These women all came up by the
long, hard road of work, and that of
the most difficult and strenuous kind.
Most of them have behind them from
five to fifteen years of successful ex-
perience under trying circumstances;
and it is known that for every one who
has succeeded, several have failed and
dropped ont of the race.
Two important facts seem to have
been established within the past year
or two; one is that women are not in
this field temporarily as a result of the
war; and the other, which is surpris-
ing to many people, is that their iudg-
ment in financial matters seems actual
ly to be as good as that of the men.

OUR Congress
v 0 MAN

The congresswoman from oklahoma,
Miss Alice Robertson, is making good,
and even the congressman who cannot
reconcile themselves to suffrage are
beginning to admit it will do if women
continue to pick out as their repre-
sentatives sensible individuals like
the lady from Oklahoma.
The congresswoman does not make
herself conspicuous. She has not in
troduced single bill. She has spoken
only once, and that for few minutes
defending her state and the Indian
when every other member from that
state happened to be absent.
"The place to learn is in the House
ITSELF" Miss Alice said, "and that's
why never miss session if I can help
it. And when I return to my office, |
study the bills and attend to the de-
partmental work and answer my vol
luminous correspondence. This is my
conception of how to be of service to
my people who sent me to Washing
ton to represent them"

TAKING CARE
OF GIRLS

Captain Burnside, of Indianapolis.
is not returned soldier, nor even the
head of the fire department. Rather,
she is in charge of the women's police
department, which consists of twenty
three members at present, and which
has handled more than four thousand
cases during the past year.
Indianapolis was known not MANY
years ago as "the port of missing wo-
men," That was in the day when the
city was filled with notorious dives
where fallen women congregated.
The city is being rapidly cleaned
up by the women's police department.
Last year, this branch of the city gov
eminent picked up 1907 missing girls
who were drifting into lives of sin, and
succeeded in putting most of them
back upon the right track. So success
full was the work til at the indianapolis
Board of Public Safety recently made
the following statement: eve con-
slider the department of policeWomen
one Of the most effective and efficient
arms of the police organization of In
dianapolis.'
The idea of a women's police depart
ment has been adopted by most Ameri-
can cities of any size. AS rule, the
women policemen" do not wear uni
forms; and usually they do not arrest
offenders but take care of them in an
informal manner that gets them free
and starts them on the right road with
out laying upon them the handicap Of
a Jail or prison record, which seems
to make nearly impossible forever the
reformation of girls or women gone
wrong.

What THE OTHER
SIDE SAYS

The people who oppose the primary
system take the view that the party
bosses actually have no more trouble
in attaining their ends under the pri-
mary than under the convention sys-
tenn. Perhaps the best statement we
have had of this side of the case is that
given below, which was made a short
time ago by committee of the New
York Bar Association:
Speaking practically, no nomina-
lions are, or ever can be made, with
out some kind of private or public
conferences or conventions. Under
the present system of direct primaries
the party leaders deliberate privately
and prepare what is Familiarity known
as slate. They inform their heuten-
ants of their consclusions; and the lat
ter then proceed to procure the neces-
sary number of signatures to the pc
the party leaders may be confirmed at
the primaries and those slated for
nomination may be designated as NOM
inees. 1t is a truism that in the vast
majority of nominations, the direct
primary election merely consists of
the adoption and confirmation of the
slate prepared by the party leaders.
The conferences of the party managers
are held in secret. No accredited dele
gates attend it. Only those hidden to
the feast are privileged to partake of
it. The rank and file of the enrolled
voters are blissfully ignorant of the
plans of those in control of the party
machinery until information as to
the proposition is vouchsafed. The
present primary tends to entrench the
party leaders behind barbed-wire en-
tanglements, through which no oppo-
sition, save such as is armed with a
long purse, can penetrate"
