LIPINSkI FANS
CLAIM A DRAW

Sporting Editor Times;
OF course il we should let the Whit
ing news reporter have his way Z
would not be fair to a boy that pr
UP a great fght and led all the way,
is the version OF Hammond AM other
outside fans.
In the opening round Lipinski open-
ed like a wild man and carried Elder
off his feet and it was the bcll that
saved him as he was hanging on tho
ropes In the second round Lipinszt
had Elder going again and kept him
covering up and clinching throughout
the round. The third round opened
with both boys going good but Lipin-
ski had a safe margin as he KEEP
carrying the fight continually.
In the fourth round Lipinski was
caught mapping and was foored by a
right to the jaw but was up in a
fash and carried the fight to Elder
who was little careful about coming
In contact with Lpinskrs rights AM
lefts.
Round i've opened with Lipinsli
driving Elder 20 the ropes with a
shower Of rights and lefts and fore
ing Elder to cover continually. BOTH
boys ended the round with a tired
look. Round six was tame as both
boys were cautious and looking for an
opening TO slip over *. 0. but both
failed to uncork the sleep producer.
You can use your own Judgment and
figure the outcome for yourself and no
unfair statements are used in this
writeup such as being hoored for the

THE NEW BOY

Hal knew it was time for much
thought and careful action. he was
new boy in town and the next day
marked the opening of school. Every
thing depended upon that first SEES
sion; what sort of treatment would
he receive at the hands of the boys;
what would they think Of him?
Curiosity prompted him to walk
over to the schoolhouse and there ne
saw several happy groups OF chill
dren at play and a number OF older
boys and girls busily engaged in
cleaning the grounds and tidylng up
the school building, evidently IN pre-
paration for the morrow. Being a
stranger, he did not linger, conquer
ing the impulse to say Hello" to
bright-faced boy near the gate who
seemed about to invite him in.
Next morning, he carefully watched
the clock to make sure that he would
arrive at school just in time to go
straight to the principals office and
thus avoid meeting any Of the pupils
at least until recess. Hal was about
to tell his mother goodbye, when ne
thought of the Junior American Red
Cross Service Button on his coat. 1t
had been a badge of honor at the old
school, but he slipped it off, placed 1t
on the library table and went out
When he reached the schoolyard
gate, he hesitated, for there were
three or four of the largest boys and
girls standing just inside apparently
awaiting him. Suddenly one of the
bows called out Hello. come right in.
There was something SO genuine IN
the greeting that Halls face brighten
ed and somehow he felt greatly re-
lieved A minute later, he found him
self walking up the short flight OF
steps at the entrance to the school
house, the boys at his side to whom
he had already told his name, having
volunteered to show him the way to
the PRINCIPALS office. When he emery
ed. he found the boy again awaiting
him to escort him 20 the room to
which he had been assigned.
At recess his new friend soon IN
troduced him to the big boys who had
been grouped at the gate that morn
ing. One of them volunteered the in
formation that they constituted the re
ception committee which tried to
make things pleasant for new pupils
like himself. He was urged to go out
to the playground and get into the
thick of the fun and soon he found
himself deep in the excitement OF
'Prisoner's Base All that first day
at the new school, Hal found himself
cordially greeted and there was al
ways friendly hand to guide HIM
over the strange places. He knew
he was going to like that school.
One the second day, as he was about
to leave for school he called to his
mother, "Where is my Junior ked
Cross pin?" ;,
"On the dresser in your ROOM SON
came the reply.
AS he pinned the little button back
on his coat, he gave knowing smile.
He had seen buttons like it on the
coats and dresses of almost every pu-
pill in the school he now proudly call
ed his.

SEWING WITH A PURPOSE

For once, the girls were too busy
to talk. Every face betokened the
liveliest interest in the work at hand.
Miss Kerr had never seen the girls
of her domestic arts class so intent
upon the days lesson. Needles were
piled with new energy and the gar
ments on the sewing tables were fast
taking shape.
There, the blouse is all finished,
said Annie Louise just a moment pc
fore the class bell rang, and all OF the
other girls ran over to take look.
With reluctant hands they put
away their sewing material, and as
they filed out of the room, Miss Kerr
smiled her satisfaction. She had found
the way to arouse the interest OF her
class in the sewing lessons. Instead
of practicing various stitches OF max
ing a garment for themselves, they
were sewing garments for others, Tor
girls like themselves who were IN
need of these products of their class
room.
It came about in this way. After
the school had enrolled in the JUNIOR
American Red Cross, Annie Louise
suggested that the sewing class make
its work count in the service OF others
and Immediately a committee was
formed with Miss Kerr, at the head
to ascertain if there were any needy
families in the neighborhood Tor
whom the class could sew. Soon the
committee made its report and then
the class began it's self-appointed task
First, slightly worn garments were al
tered and mended and made service
able. and then the Juniors appropriat
ed a sum of money for the purchase
of material for the making of the bad
" needed garments which the com
mittee found necessary for the adopt
ed" families.
1t was no longer necessary 1or
Miss Kerr to strive to arouse ana
maintain the interest OF each little
seamstress. Many of the girls spent
an hour in the sewing room each at
ternoon after the close of school: AS
Annie Louise said, making something
for someone who actually needs 1t,
isn't work." And she sighed because
she could not make her needle go
faster.

CITIZEN SLACKERS

To say that a citizen Of
the United States owes duty
and allegiance to his coun-
try only in time of war IS to
utter a dangerous fallacy.
Those who, under one pre-
text or another, evade mill
tary duty, we call slackers; a
term which the late war has
rendered as opprobious as
that of traitor. But those
who evade their civic duties
to their country in times OF
peace, are equally as blame
worthy and contemplate.
The Virginia Association
for the Common Good, with
headquarters at Richmond,
is a patriotic organization
that has done and is doing
far-reaching good. Moved
only by the highest purposes,
it from time to time sounds
notes Of warning whose adj
monition should be needed
by the people of the state for
whose welfare it is working:
It has been at the pains Of
tabulating the vote per
thousand in the leading
cities of the United States
at the national election OF
November, 1920.
The average number of
votes per thousand of popu-
lation in the whole country
was 268.03. The highest vote
per thousand was cast IN
Dayton, Ohio, with a vote OF
436; the second was Kansas
City, Mo, with vote of AZ;
the third was Cincinnati,
Ohio, with 424; and the
fourth was Wilmington,
Delaware, with 800. The
lowest in the list of fifty-siN
cities was Norfolk, Va, with
II; and the next lowest,
Richmond, with lib.
The total vote of Virginia
for president in 1920, with
the women voting, was 229,-
952, out of a population OF
2,306,361. This was eqruva-
lent to SO out Of every thous-
and Of population, about ten
per cent, while the average
for the entire country was
approximately "a per cent.
of the population. The Demo
cratic primary vote in Vir-
ginia on August 2, last, was
a little over 100000.
Of course there are sew
eral cogent and conclusive
reasons why the average
vote in the Southern states
should not equal that OF the
Northern and Western
states But the fact remains
that there is a lethargy eX-
istent among the electorate
that should be overcome.
The duties Of citizenship
cannot be too urgently i'm
pressed on those who par
take of it's advantages.
Fealty in peace is no less ob-
ligatory than fealty in war.
The query propounded by
The Virginia Association for
the Common Good may,
therefore. be entirely oppor-
tune and appropriate: rs i
not time for a better m@
of citizenship"

MRS. LUCY c. BUPP DENIES
DIVORCE SUIT CHARGES

Denying misconduct and alleging
that her husband treated her with
systematic cruelty, Lucy Vile Bupp
today filed her answer to the suit of
Ross c. Bupp for absolute divorce, al
leging misconduct and naming a CO.
respondent.
The wife AYERS that after a quarrel
arising out of her husbands objection
to her visiting her mother, he took
from her all her funds, leaving her
penniless, whereupon she left his
home and remained for two weeks.
Mrs. Bupp alleges that June IA de-
PENDANT struck and beat her, and that
June Is last he threw her on the
floor several times and kicked her in
the stomach. Her husband also told
her, she alleges. that "if she was not
out of the house when he came back
from work he would throw her out and
her trunk also, and that when she left
she should leave the clothes which he
had bought Tor her during the time
they had been married"

NEGRO SP[ANE,
BUILT At HOME,
FAILS To WORK
Tears Up House, Landing in
Piano-PIayer on Its Trial
Flight.

Officials of the army air service are
taking a keen interest in the doings OF
one George Fisher, who claims to be
the only negro aviator In captivity
and who has blazed forth into the
aeronautical world with a homemade
airplane, intending TO startle and daz-
zle the natives around New Orleans
with his prowess as a pilot.
From all accounts so Tar received,
George is believed to be armed with
two left hind feeS of rabbits, killed by
the light of the moon in a country
graveyard, and to have a slicked-up
dime among his spending change. In
his first trial flight, the propeller flew
off his machine. tearing hole
through an adjacent house and taking
refuge in a player piano. Undeterred
by this trifling incident, George has
announced his determination to make
his flivver fly again"
II he has made a second attempt,
that fact has not yet been heralded
abroad. Meanwhile, air service folks
expect to hear any day that the rab-
bit feet have played George false, and
an irate tenant has demanded that he
dig up" for house repairs and a new
player piano.

CITY
HOTEL BEGINS
WAR ON PRICES
Breakers Announces Cut From
S. to $3.50 a Day After 9th
ers Refuse to Agree.

ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. IA bit
ter hotel rate war. with price re-
auctions far reaching in their effect.
was forecast with the announcement
by the management of the Breakers
that it would go back to pre-war prices
on September 10.
This action by this hotel was taken
independently after a futile effort
had been made to effect a general
agreement for drastic reductions this
fall. 1t was generally believed last
night, however. that other hotels
would cut rates to equal or exceed the
Breakers reduction.
The new schedule il $3.50 a day,
minimum, European plan, compared
with IS a day at present, and a mini
mum OF s42 a week single and SIT a
week double, American plan, COM
pared with s56 and $s6 now prevailing.
The announcement of the forthcom-
ing reductions was accompanied by a
statement by George B. Cottman, as
sistant manager. predicting the return
to popularity of the American plan Of
hotel management.
I'VE contend that a well-balanced
and well-prepared menu, selected from
seasonable products, can be assembled
and distributed as appetizingly for a
great deal less money on the American
plan than where the selection of
viands is left to the diner. who, gener.
ally speaking. is unfamiliar with food
said Mr.. Cottman. This
fact frequently is the explanation for
the apparently higher prices on menu
cards.
The question of labor also enters
largely into the cost of meals served
plan and la carte. The
fact that the meal is restricted to a
certain limited number Of items means
that considerable labor can be saved
In preparation. A kitchen in an Amer
lean plan hotel can cook for 500 guests
with less help than the restaurant
feeding ESQ on the a la carte plan"
Hotel men in Atlantic City agreed
that the announcement of sweeping
price reductions would be reflected
throughout the United States. With
the exception OF Chicago, It was point
ed out, hotels in every city in the ooun-
try have consistently maintained war
time prices. The sensational break in
Atlantic City rates, 1t was predicted,
would be followed by similar reduc-
lions in New York, Philadelphia,
and other cities.

GIRL, ~, RUNS AWAY
WHEN MOON is FULL

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The girl
picked UP by the Jamaica police on
last Wednesday evening, who said
she was Ellen Collins, seventeen, but
refused to give her address or tell
anything about her family, and in
consequence was sent to the Long
Island City jail by Magistrate Con-
way, has been identified by her
father.
The father, Charles Romer, appear
ed in the Jamaica police station on
Friday evening and said he had read
the story of Ellen Collins in the
newspapers, and thought that she
might be his daughter, Mary Rom
er, fifteen. He showed a picture of
his daughter to the lieutenant, who
identified it as that Of the girl who
had been sent to jail.
Mr.. Romer. said that Mary ran
away last year at the same time,
when the August moon was full.
This time she disappeared on Sunday
evening, but the father, knowing her
habits, and thinking that she would
soon return, did not send an alarm
to the police. Mary says she slept
two nights in a graveyard.
