a Hurley resident performed test
of strength and endurance Tuesday
afternoon which won for him the
commentator of his friends and a
neat sum of money.
William (Finlander Bid Jslo carri-
ed one thousand silver dollars in a
sack from Hurley to Bessemer with
out stopping in bet made with a
friend. Emil (Big EmiD Ruva.
At gathering in a local saloon the
result of a discussion of feats of
strength and endurance was that Ruva
made bet with Jalo that he (Jalo)
could not carry one thousand silver
dollars to Bessemer without stopping
Ruya posted 500 and JalO came across
with $500, winner to take all. Early
Tuesday afternoon Jalo, with the one
thousand silver dollars in a sack on
his shoulders, started on the long and
tedious grind to Bessemer. Four
automobiles filled with friends and
admirers and policeman accompani-
ed him. The start was made at the
Hurley depot The finish line was at
the Bessemer depot. Jalo hit up a
steady, easy gate and kept it up to the
finish, and although his strength was
almost gone and the load getting
heavier near the finish he carried out
the feat successfully and wonthe $500.
The distance is seven miles and the
strength and endurance which was
required to accomplish the feat is all
the more remarkable when it is con
sidered that the weight of the load
was about IS pounds. When once
the load was on his shoulders Jalo
was not permitted to allow it to touch
the ground again, otherwise he would
have forfeited his bet The distance
was covered IN one hour and 80
minutes.
If you don't believe it was some
feat-just try it. The thousand dol
lars, why, almost anybody in Hurley

had given explicit instructions that
Dempsey do no work of any kind.
Late in the afternoon Dempsey
awakened from a refreshing nap.
Then, to the surprise and disgust of
his sparring partners, he ordered them
to the stuffy hangar quarter of a
mile back of his camp and staged a
secret workout that developed into the
stiffest of his campaign.
Fer j5 minutes the champion toiled
with terrific speed. negotiating the
equivalent of 13 rounds of boxing. He
whaled away at the light punching
bag for three rounds, then drove Vi
cious rights and lefts into the heavy
felt stuffed bag for two rounds. When
he finished, his sunburned body was
glistening wet.

EVOLUTION OF NUDITY
IS STUDIED IN PARIS

PARIS, June 2S.-U. y. Silver
since the French senate decided to
call upon the government to suppress
Immoral" scenes in Paris theatres
and to forbid nude'women from ap-
pearing on the stage. French writers
have been busy consulting history as
to when women first appeared ON the
stage clothed only in natures robes.
They have discovered that women,
and men as we'll appeared nude on
theatre stages as long ago as 1000
years B. c. In ancient Syria during
the Venus celebrations women abso-
lutely naked and not even wearing n
string of beads, as they do in some
places in Paris, would sing songs of
praise to the goddess. 1t was the Gus
tom. in those days. with the Syrians
once a show was over, to call upon
actors and actresses to disrobe and
dance and sing. Directors to such
scenes were either asked politely to
leave or were thrown out.
From nudity and morals these same
French writer's stepped over to the
history of marriage and Napoleon the
First's morals 1t appears Napoleon
was a pure moralist and did not be-
lieve in love. Il do more than deny
the existence of love" he would say. Il
believe it to be detrimental to society
and to the individual happiness of
man, and firmly believe it does more
harm than good" Evidently his wife,
Marie Louise, was of different opiu-
ion, for she was thrice married and
had at last two illegitimate children

PIN six rounds Of sparring yester-
day Georges Carpenter gave all Of his
tricks a tryout, much to the discom-
future of Chris Arnold Buffalo light
heavy weight Joe Jeanette and Paul
Samson, 2O0-poundcr who joined the
staff yesterday morn ng.
Georges boxed each two rounds
starting with Arnold. Chris started
at him full speed, but his blows failed
to land cleanly Arnold said Carpen-
tier was the hardest thing to hit he
has ever seen. While they worked
Georges rained snappy but steamless
blows on ArnOld's body.
With Paul Samson, Georges had A
slugging match, and though he pulled
his puches he had the big fellow grog-
Gy and was compelled to case up. In
his two rounds with Jeanette the
challener worked for the perfection OF
his right uppercut which seemed even
more vicious than his short overhanc-
ed right.
This morning the challenger went
on the road for about two hours and
took things easy, but he worked hard
when he came to the gymnasium for
half an hour of exercise before lunch.
Extra precautions for the protec-
ton of the challenger were taken by
