Carpenter began boxing as an anna
teur in 1904 when only 10 years old.
He weighed less than 100 pounds.
Step by step he climbed thru the vari-
Gus divisions. In the accompanying
photograph Carpenter is depicted as
he looked when he entered the ban
tamweight ranks in France more than
fifteen years ago.
He was not then fifteen years of
age. But he had learned a lot about
the fistic art and critics of his native
country had already begun to predict
brilliant future for the lad in the
roped arena.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. C.. Feb. 3.
Repeal of the present 10 per cent. tax
on admission tickets to theatres prob
ably will be included in the general re-
vision of the revenue laws which will be
undertaken by the new Congress. The
general feeling among the men In Con-
gress who will be in charge OF making
new tax laws is that virtually all OF the
annoying and petty taxes should be elm
mated and that the extra pennies on
movie tickets and the dimes and quar-
ters on those of the Legitimate" stage
are in this class.
Chairman Fordney tMich) OF the
Ways and Means Committee favors elm
ination of all annoying taxes IL it Is
possible for Congress to do so and raise
sufficient revenue for Government needs.
There Is virtually no disposition in
Congress to make the tax on theatre
tickets permanent. The feeling IL that
theatres are not to be discouraged, as
might have been the case to some extent
during the war. Even during the war
it Is admitted that the theatres could
not be considered an unnecessary lux
ury.
