NEW YORK. Aug. 6.--"What is

crican boys, he cannot CHOP and

The average British boy starts his
career as q siX-rounder in preliminary
contests at the London ring-in the
Blackfriars road, where he meets
with all sorts and sizes. He learns to
box, true enough. but he does not
learn to fight,
The British fan Is too prone TO

er takes count as rest, the result
being that a boy thinks he is hurt
when he is really shaken and early
gets distaste for hard hitting.
Another thing! Too many British
boxers train on beer. They have BEEN

NEW YORK, Aug. G.-U y. S.)-A
hand-picked referee was the third man
in the ring when Johnny Wilson won
the worlds middleweight title from
Mike O'Dowd in Boston May G, 1920.
And, strangely enough, another hand
picked arbiter was in the ring al
Cleveland recently when Wilson lost
the crown. to Bryan Downey, the Co
lumbus boxer.
Wilson probably has come to the
conclusion that referees of the hand
picked variety are unlucky for him,
because, as middleweight champion
his career was anything but rosy
one
Mike O'Dowd insisted that Hector
Mclnnis be the third man in the ring
when he met Wilson in Boston. VIII
son was forced to agree. At the end of
twelve rounds, much to the chagrin of
ODowd, McInnis awarded the de-
cision to Wilson, and the middle
weight championship went along with
it.
In the recent Cleveland bout Jimmy
Gardner, of Boston, was put into the
ring to referee, at the instance of Will
son, who insisted that the Cleveland
Boxing Commission accept his man
or there would be no fight
In the seventh round Gardner
awarded the decision to Wilson on u
foul. after the Charlestown lad had
been down for two long counts. This
decision was reversed by the Boxing
Commission, which declared Downey
the winner and awarded him the title.
From all accounts OF the fight,
Downcy was entitled to the verdict
and The championship. Wilson has no
kick coming. He won the title with a
hand picked referee officiating and
lost it the same way, What's sauce
for the gosllng is soup for the gander

Princess at the silver spinning wheel.
But though he could lift her TO his
horse and carry her of the Prince could
not lift the spell of the witch woman
from the Princess and she did not know
him, for only when the Witch Woman
commanded did the real Princess know
the Prince or any Of her own people.
So he carried her to his own Palace
and the white kitten with her.
The home of the real Princess was
ablaze with lights. for, of course, her
father and mother the King and Queen
did not know that some one had taken
the place OF their daughter, and every
thisg was ready for the wedding
The Prince stood in front of a heavy
curtain of red velvet waiting for the
Princess to appear, and behind that cur
tain stood the real Princess with the
white kitten in her arms, for the trusted
servant that had helped the Prince be-
fore was there now with her mistress,
and when the false Princess stepped into
the long hall from the other side the
servant slowly drew aside the curtains
and guided the real Princess to her place
beside the Prince.
"You are too late, Silver Lady" said
the Prince when the false Princess
reached the place where he stood. "The
real Princess is here, and if you wish 70

powers quickly if you possess them.
The Witch Woman gave a cry of fear
such as no mortal ever heard before OF

/ again she cried out and reached Tor It
but the kitten showed its claws in q

her eyes filed with fear.
Speak and release the Princess from
your spell, commanded the Prince.
Slowly the long white arms OF the
witch Woman were raised above hel
head, her white veil falling around hei
| like mist and then in a chanting tom
she repeated:
From my spell you now are free,
Only his bride the Prince shall see,
My magic power now invoke,
To hide me from these mortal folk
As she said the last word a heavy sill

the Princess stood as any bride could b

Why Do Flowers Droop In Heated
Room7

While we are accustomed TO thinking
Of flowers as becoming Haccid and lite-
less shortly after being brought into n
heated room, this is by no means always
true-as evidenced by the size and
beauty of the blossoms in greenhouse
or conservatory, where the temperature
is maintained at a high point The DIFF
ference lies in the fact that, in the first
case, the flowers have grown in the open
air and are then brought into the heat
of the house and, in the second, they
have been accustomed TO fairly high
degree Of heat and have become accli-
mated 20 it.
Garden flowers or wild flowers need
plenty Of fresh cool air in order that they
may be kept for even few days in full
possession of their original beauty. II
placed in q heated atmosphere, the heat
naturally tends to withdraw some of the
moisture from their stems and petals
and they thus become dropped and
lifeless. In fact there are some flowers
lilies Of the valley, for example which
thrive best if their roots or bulbs hav,
