ASK CONGRESS TO
 AID YOUNG AMERICA
By Peter P. Carney,

Members of the incoming congress will be asked to right the wrong in- advertently done to Young America" when the 65th congress imposed a 10 per cent. tax on athletic equipment This tax is manifestly unfair to the thousands of boys and girls of the United States who are deprived of their play because of the extra tax which is levied against sporting goods by congress intent on taxing. pro- fessional athletics.
 If the lawmakers had taxed those they had in mind everything would be fine, but they did not. They hit the youth of America, the boy and girl, the future nation builders. This tax on sporting equipment has practically eliminated the younger folks, from sports of all kinds. Seventy. per cent. of the sporting goods sold in the Unit ed States goes to boys and girls under the age of IS years.
 This drastic tax greatly retards the sprots from progressing that were found indispensable in upbuilding our
 fighting forces, both from the, stand point of morale and physical develop ment. Millions of dollars were spent by the government before and during the war to provide the necessary ath letic equipment for the soldiers, sailors and marines, and we were told by those who followed the war closely that ath- | letic sports proved a great factor ir | the winning of the war.

Willimantic, Conn, Mar. "A crowd of over 300 people attended the box ing exhibition at the Valley street ar mory, Monday night and saw Young Mercier, the local boy go out via the K. O. route when Joe Werner of New York landed a right to Mercier's ear. The sleep producing punch came in the 4th round, of an eight round sched- uled bout, the main bout for the even- ing. start, landing blows at will, Mercier simply covering up and taking the hits. For while Mercier's quick left and rights to the face puzzled the New York boy but after the first round he had everything his own way.
 Mercier played the hugging game during the third round and Werner pushed him away, sending in telling blows.
 With the fourth round well under way Werner sent right to Mercier's 8 ear, Mercier taking the count. In the preliminary, a four round af- fair at 120 lbs, Battling Ladd of Willi- mantle had a shade on his local oppo- nent, Young Sampson. Ladd had the reach on the shorter fellow and got in a greater number of blows.
 The second bout was between Young Flippen and Nat Axlerod, both local men. a six round affair at 135 lbs This | fight was a hummer and at times both men seemed groggy after taking stiff right or left from his opponent. Axle rod started out in the first round and landed a left to the ia wthat rocked Flippen but the round went on, Axle | rod having a shade. In the remaining rounds the honors were about even Axlerod had Flippen travelling in the sixth and did most of the leading. It was Axlerod's fight on points
 In the six round go between Young
 Colorado and Young Prue, Colorado was forced to stop in the Srd round having sprained his hand in mix -ur
 during that round. He had some
 weight on his man and started out
 strong in the first round. Prue, how ever, landed more. punches than Col
 erado and was awarded the fight after
 Colorado had been prevented iron
 continuing by the doctor.
 The semi final was an eight rounc
 go between George Monty and Young
 Boyer, at TAO lbs. Boyer was forced
 to quit in the 3rd round because of { dislocated thumb. Monty won tn , first two rounds and had the best o the third until. Boyer's thumb wen l out.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET FLUcrUArED.

New York March 7.--During the frst.l half of todays stock market session tech-H nical considerations prompted extensive; covering by shorts, but this condition was sharply reversed later, when ca bles from London indicated rupture in the in demnity negotiations.
 Heavy selling occurred in the last hour, cancelling previous gains of 1 to 5 points and effecting many losses of like event. Liuuida tion for both accounts became ur- gent on news that the allied forces. had received orders to invade German terri tory s.
 Early features of comparative strength embraced oils, shippings, steels, equip ments, feathers, tobacco and coppers, as well as a number of obscure specialties. Rails were the only laggards during that period, apart from a A4odeerat demand for coalers. Sales amounted to 4S5,000 shares.
 Domestic developments over the week end ranged from good to bad. The stronger position of the federal reserve banks was largely neutralized by January returns of some of the more important railway companies. nearly all of which l disclosed heavy losses in net earnings. | Western and southwestern points re- ported further contraction of business de- spite lower commodity prices. Eastbound railroad traffic is7decidedly under that of 1 the same period last year and southern roads show a marked decrease of cotton and lumber shipments.
 l Call money was in free suppl. at ' per cent, but time accommodations diminish ed Leading foreign exchange rates were in nowise affected by the failure of the
 repara tions conference, weakness of re-
 mittances to Norway and Denmark, hay ing no relation, it was said, to that sit l uation.
 Most information bonds held steady tc
 firm in the face of disquieting foreign news, but domestic rails an dindustrals
 eased with the stock market. Liberty
 bonds the 1-2s again excepted, were
 moderately better. Total sales (pa1
 va1ue) aggregated $9,s75,0o0.

DIAMOND HAS MANY VIRTUES
Gem Must Be Gift to Person
Who Wears 1t,

According to superstition (and to
fact also), the owner of 4 diamond
Is lucky. indeed. The diamond should
be worn upon the left side, for it is
of greater virtue there, for the
strength Of its growing is toward the
North, that is the left side of the
world, and the left part of a man
when he turneth his face toward the
East. He who carries diamond will
have strength and manhood; it will
keep him from harm, especially from
broken limbs. 1t will give him vic
tory over all his enemies if his cause
Is righteous. 1t will keep him from
strife and riots, and is a talisman
against entertainments. In fact, if an
enChanter tries to work a spell upon
the pOsseSsor of a diamond he will
find it will work upon himself instead
No wild beast will attack the diamond
owner. 1t heals all manner of mental
troubles. If poison be brought near
1t, the diamond will become moist and
sweat. In order to be of the greatest
virtue, the diamond must be given
freely instead of being bought.
