a little close harmony with Lucy Page
CASTOR on the cigaret question. The

terested in the lungs and souls of the
men who smoke cigarets, as in the
damage the careless smokers do with
their lighted pills and their matches.
According to a paper read at the
luncheon by w. B. Gasche, the sta
tistics from the state fire marshars
office show that 100 persons were
burned to death. and property to the
value of s7S,546 was destroyed in Kan
sas in 1920 by fires due to careless
smokers. Smokers caused twenty-five
fires in Topeka during 1920, Gasche
said.
Following the reading of the paper,
the club passed a resolution urging that
the people who will smoke cigarets, be
more careful where they park the
snipes.
Following a recent luncheon of the
Forum of the Chamber of Commerce,
a burning cigaret was found lying on
one of the tables. carefully laid with
the hot end on a burned match, the
whole structure resting on a folded
newspaper.

SQUARED RING HISTORY
Carpenter Refereed Battle Be
tween johnson and Moran in
Paris June 81, 1914.
Chapter XIV.

Some time after he defeated JEFF
fries, Jack Johnson was indicted on
charges of violating the Mann act but
he evaded arrest and finally journeyed
to Paris.
When the exchequer shriveled a
bit, he accepted a challenge from
Frank Moran, of Pittsburgh, and they
faced one another in France on June
81, 1914. The negro warrior scored
a victory on points in twenty rounds.
Moran was game and stubbornly
stood up to Johnson's assaults, which
had not the steam of the champions
earlier attacks. Johnson possessed
all of his old-time skill, however.
There was not single knockdown
nor anything that smacked of a fin
ishing blow. Johnson's superior
skill and his incessant uppercutting
kept Moran in subsection. Moran's
attack lacked the power to dispose
of his adversary.
The crowd was as cosmopolitan as
Paris itself. There were barons and
dukes at the ringside, and earls and
duchesses, too Sporting men of
many nations. clad in the formal eve
ming garb with which Europe honors
its boxers, were part of the throng.
johnson was proud of his victory
for it was the first time that a cham
pion as old as he had ever defended
his title and won. He was then IS
years old, Moran's senior by almost a
decade.
The referee of the fight was
Georges Carpenter, who now aspires
to become heavyweight champion by
whipping Dempsey.
