ICE PALACE OPENS;
WALKER IS VICTOR
Terry McHugh. Spells Great
Show Before 5000 Fans.
Director Is There
MILLER SHADES BoRRELL
BY LOUIS IT. JAFFT

Everything went of, lovely in the
Of the 1921 90 boxing sea-
son Of the Ice Palace last night, with
the possible exception that the wind-up
between Al Walker, n Californian, and
Terry McHugh, Of Allentown, was not
so good. There were about 5000 fans,
including Director Cortelyou, present,
and pleasant time was had during the
first four bouts, which were rip snorters
or words to that effect.
Chiefly because he was going forward
almost continually, while McHugh was
making a runaway battle, Walker WINS
entitled to the verdict. The contest
could have been worse, but the urging
OF Referee Frank Floyd caused the up
slater to fare up several times. When =
ever McHugh did stand his ground
which was seldoni-he showed to ad-
vantage, but had It not been for Wal
ker's willingness to force the fighting

Several times George F. Pawling, tho
promoter, stepped to the ringside nnG
requested Referee Floyd to warn Nc
Hugh to show better. ''If he doesn't, y
said Pawling, stop the match ant
We'll put on another bout" The third
man in the ring warned McIIugh almost

stopped the bout temporarily and told
Terry IL was his last chance.
In the early part Of the final session
McHugh began to swap punches and
had the better Of the exchange, but he
soon fell back on the defensive. AL
though Walker was the winner, he
failed to prove any extraordinary form.
He weighed in at 120 pounds, while
McHugh was a pound heavier.
Joe Miller, 148, and the other Cali
fornian on the program, displayed a lot
Of cleverness in his set to with Young
Joe Borrell, 14S. In the first two
rounds Borrell punched Miller hard and
often and it looked as II the Native Son
would be slowed away. However,
Miller came back strongly in the last
four rounds. outboxed the local Italian,
made Borrell miss with lot Of Ms
hefty wallops and at the finish the Cali =
fornian was entitled to shade decision.
Tommy Loughran, 100, and Pat
Bradley, 150. staged snappy scrap,
with little to choose between them at
the finish. A great rally by Bradley in
the last round entitled him to a draw,

TOWN AS PART OF COUNTRY
Southern Magazine Has the Right Idea
That Communities Must Stand
or Fall Together.

The country town is part of the
country. 1t is one of the encourag-
ing signs of the time that country
town business men are coming to
realize this fact. 1t has not been SO
long ago that every little town thought
that its business was to grow into q
city just as soon as possible. Some
towns and many town people still
think so. Many small-town people,
too, still think that their chief rela-
lions and interests are with the cities
rather than the country. The most
far-seeing business men have come to
know better. They are seeing more
and more clearly that the town, the
small city, is an integral part of the
country, that it prospers only as the
country prospers, and that it has its
place in the scheme of things to be
1t. The town merchant who opposes
cooperative buying or selling by the
farmers of his territory, the town
banker who would hinder the estab-
lishment of farm loan associations in
his county, the town editor who neg
lects the interests of the back-country
districts, are becoming more and more
out of date. Not until the country
and the country town learn that they
are yoke fellows and must pull to-
gether can either make the progress
it should. And both are learning

Dual Personality Results From Auto

Chicago.-On Halloween In 1916
recklessly driven automobile crashed
into a telephone pole on a highway
near Falls Greek, Pa, hurting three
Joy riders to the pavement. One of the
trio was Joseph A. McGrath, "a years
old. law student.
Shortly after the accident, McGrath
told federal officials recently, he deyel-
oped dual personality. There were
days when he was normal, In posses
sion of all his faculties. There were
days of splitting headaches, when
time seemed to pass in a haze. He
worked to save when he was normal.
At other times he was a spendthrift.
A Good Job-and Trouble.
When the war began he tried to en-
list, but the examining physician re-
fused to pass him. ''Psycho-some-
thing" the doctor said.
The home folks pitied McGrath.
Somebody thought of the postoffice.
He was made postmaster. For a time
he prospered. He had only his moth
err to support; she was the only girl he
wished, he said. Then he began to
have trouble On the days when his
mind seemed in a haze his accounts
were usually short.
In September, 1918, an inspector
found something was wrong with the
books. He told McGrath he would call
again. When he arrived McGrath was
gone. So was $1,000.
A few days ago McGrath, emaciated,
beard a month old, eyes sunken
and furtive, stopped cal" the elevator
man at the federal building and asked
for deputy marshal. He was sent
away. Three times he returned be-
fore he was permitted to go to the
eighth floor, where he surrendered to
Deputy Marshal Tom Smith.

REUNITED AFTER As YEARS
Sisters Meet in Minneapolis First Time
Since Leaving Home as
Girls.

Minneapolis, Minn-Reunion of two
sisters who had not seen each other
for 45 years, when they were young
girls together in their fathers home
in Green Bay, Wis. took place when
Mrs. ]. R. Flynn of Rapid River Mich,
met her sister. Mrs. Pete Sorrell of
St. Paul. in the home of Mrs. Flynn's
daughter. Mrs. ]. NJ. Carlton, 515 Twen-
ty-Seventh street west.
Mrs. Flynn is the mother of ten chill
dren, and Mrs. Sorrell is the mother Of
a family of nine. The reunion for Mrs.
Flynn was not only one with her sister,
but also with her sisters children,
whom she had not seen.
After the sisters were married, at
early ages, their ways never happened
to meet. Wrapped up in the interests
of their new families, they stayed
apart for 10 years, while their respec-
tive families grew to maturity.

Easier to Build Homes Now.

A well-known building authority
states that the average man is better
able to build and own a home today
than five years ago. Money values, "
he says, have been batted about, and
the condition has been aggravated by
ill-advised buying bysworkers with sud
denly acquired wage increases. These
wage increases have gone largely into
the purchase of luxuries, resulting in
a shortage of necessities. The reac
ton, however, has started in. Through
all this period of extravaganza and
recklessness the solid, substantial ele-
ment of our people have kept their
heads. They have saved money.
Prices are on downward trend and
will reach a normal level in three or
four years. In spite of the high cost
of labor and materials prices can be
maintained at fairly reasonable level.
Homes can be built now and the banks
are willing to help."-New York Sun.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest Tor
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
60 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose spplica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

great preparation send ten cents TO DR..

MAKING BEST USE OF PAINT
coIoring Must Be Selected According
to the Material on Which 1t Is
to Bs Used.

Paints and painting cost less than
repairs necessitated by decay or dis
Indignation.
There is no such thing as an all
service paint. Paint should be Sc
lected according to the material to
be painted and the conditions under
which 1t must give service. The wear
on a floor is more severe than on a
wall, hence the floor calls for a tough
er, more elastic paint.
Painting should not be done when the
temperature is lower than 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, as the paint will not flow
well. 1t is impractical to paint a hot
surface. The old painting maxim is ::
In spring and fall follow the sum- in
summer, follow the shade.
Outside painting should be done in
dry weather Surfaces should not be
painted when wet
Surfaces to be painted should be
gotten as smooth and clean as posi-
BILE. They should be free from grease.
If painting new wood, knots and sappy
surfaces should be shellacked first.
If painting over previously painted sur
faces, all blisters and loose or peeled
spots should be scraped or burned
clean. A brushing with a stiff wire
| brush followed by sandpaper is good
practice.
A printing coat usually pays for its
cost. A firm base for the final coats

to penetrate the lumber. 1t should
be well brushed in.
Only pure linseed oil or pure tur-

SCOUT CAMP IN FRANCE

Lorne w. Barclay, director Of the
department Of education Of the Boy
Scouts of America, upon his recent
return from France where he estab-
lished camp school of scouting for
the boys of the devastated regions at
the invitation of the American Com
mittee for Devastated France, said
that although France is recovering
very decidedly and very theoretically
from the effects of the war, the one
thing that is needed is concerted eff
fort and coordination by the many diff
ferent groups which are working along
practically the same lines. This, he
says, is especially noticeable in the
scout work and Red Cross in France.
'"There are three Red Cross organ
izations," said Mr.. Barclay, "all with
the same detectives but managed by
different groups of people with little
cooperation one from the other. The
scouting idea is being promoted by at
least ten different groups of people,
three of which are aggressively work
ing in different parts of the country
