Mew Mask For
 Catchers Coming

Jim Johnstone, former big league umpire and now an occa- SiOnaI aFbiter at college games, has devised a new mask for CatcherS, one q sporting goods concern is to put on the market and which the inventor declares is an inprovemcnt on the wire muZZIe nOyy in use.
 His contraptiOn has no wire, but is one piece of metal, with the necessary aperatureS for eyes, nose and mouth. The metal is q composition of his own, some thing like aluminium and lighter than the wire mask.
 Leather stuffed with hair makes the buffer, and JohnStone claims for his mask that it will absorb shocks better than the old and will defect the ball without cut ting CT scratching its leather sur face.

all right now and from reports he will be in fine fettle Saturday.
 I got an angle or the sort of fight Carpenter will probably start to put who saw the FrenchIhan in private. I am told he has spent practically all of his training period this week in defensive SparrinS and footwork with partners working with him. To my notion this is exactly what he should do if he expects Dempsey to make it a rushing affair.
 Dempsey Wants Quick Fight.
 Atlantic City, N. J, June 30.---Jack Dempsey wants his contest with Georges Carpenter to end decisively, with either himself or Carpenter stretched on the floor of the '.ns, if possible, before the twelve rounds have been fought out at Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City. Saturday after noon. The worlds heavyweight cham pion so declared himself today when he said that he did not want a towel thrown in as an acknowledgements of defeat. A championship contest, he said, should be allowed to go to knockout without regard 10 the hat- tered or helpless condition of either contestant. Dempsey also is opposed to having a contest stopped by the referee.
 The best way to stop a fight to suit everybody is to knock the other man stiff" Depsey said. Then there is no chance for argument. l don't want Carpenters men to 'lrow in a towel. I knaw when it comes my turn to take it' they are not going to throw any towel in for me. I will keep on fighting until I am counted out.
 'sNobdy is licked until he is counted out. If a fighter gets chicken hearted and doesn't put over the winning punch when his opponent is dazed and wobbling, he might get knocked out himself by a wild, desperate swing Such thingS have happened"

BE VACCINATED AND
 AVOID SMALLPOX Dread Disease Spreading Since End of the
 War

Before the discovery of vaccina- ton, smallpox was the terror of mankind. [ History records epidemic after epidemic. Some part of Eur ope or Asia was always in its clutches. 1t was a usual thing, when walking through the streets of cities, to meet people whose faces were pockmarked. Few persons grew to middle life who were fortunate enough to escape this disease at one time or another.
 With the discovery of vaccination in 1798, conditions began to change. In short time, vaccination was gen. erally practised by civilized coun- tries, and with this, the number of cases and the number of deaths from smallpox dropped very much. Every thing depended upon the thorough ness with which vaccination was carried out. In those countries which had compulsory vaccination, that is, where every one was vaccin- ated, hardly any cases or deaths oc- cured from smallpox. Where com pulsory vaccination was not strictly enforced, the cases and deaths were many more. The important fact was that in vaccination mankind had dis covered a means with which to con- trol smallpox. attE a.a}atss.E Smallpox Spreading Since the War.
 To-day, smallpox is again spread ing very rapidly over the world. This is true in the United States and Canada, as everywhere else. The recent war is responsible for this in large measure. During the war, people from all parts of the world were brought together in very large numbers. Some of these came from countries where there was much smallpox. There were /also many millions of refugees in all the fight ing countries of Europe who were compelled to live under the most crowded and unhealthy conditions away from their homes. During this period also, the doctors were away from home, and the control of the health authorities was everywhere relaxed. Vaccination. which was before praetised very generally. be came more lax. The result has beer that the cases of smallpox fmnedi ately increased and the disease . ha! l taken hold in a very serious way. Il is most important that everybod! should know the facts, because un less something is done immediatel! by the great body of the people t' protect themselves from smallpox we may go back to the conditions O fifty years ago, when this diseas
 was very serious cause of sicknes

GAVANIE GETS BONDS
Bandit Who Was Shot Here is
 Released from Jail

Joseph Gavanie who was shot through the arm by Detective A. B.. See two weeks ago and bound over to the next term of the Superior court, has secured bonds in the sum of $1,000. Nicholas Rosa and three other Italians of Waterbury furnish ed the bonds. Gavanie has retained John F. Monzani of Waterbury as his attorney.
 At the hearing before Justice Ford here, it was at first thought best to fix the bonds at $2,000, but believing that it would be hard for the man to get a bondsman they were reduced to $1,0OO. If Gavanie is really guilty perhaps the local officials will be sorry they did not increase the amount of the bond.
