LAST OF REAL COWBOYS
 DEAD
(By International News service1

lBy International News Service)
 Havre, Mont, Jan. 11-"I,one George" Francis died with his boots on. He is among the las. of the hardy race of real cowpunchers, rid CTS of bad horses, fancy ropsrs and of men who settled their disputes with gun instead of lawyer. His death was no less sensational than of the other events in his career which made him a marked man in every gather ing of old-tme westerners.
 He died from exposure in 15 below zero weather while crawling over frog en ground in an effort to get to shel- ter and treatment for a fracture Of the leg. The accident was caused while
 ne was making final trip by auto mobile to a "schoolmarm'' friend near the Canadian border with Christmas presents before returning to this city to give himself up in court and begin serving a term of not less than six nor more than twelve years in the state penitent:ary. The automobile smashup occurred while he was cross ing the Mill river. in a country in which he had hidden from peace off ! cerS for seventeen months.
 Jumped His Bond.
 In 1916 he was accused of stealing | a horse. He was tried in 1918 and | convicted.

 ago on Christmas eve, with five l days. freedom before he would be | compelled to answer the mandate of | the supreme court. He left early in the evening on his last ride, taking Q l machine instead of his much-prefer- red broncho in order to cover thirty | five miles in time to deliver his pack age of candy, apples and presents to the 'schoolmarIn" and her pupils

 by oId-tiIne Montanans as the last of
 the real cowboys who will die with their boots on.

LONDON SHORT 15O,000
 HOMES

London.-It is estimated that Lon don is short of 150. 900 houses, and Premier Lloyd George. speaking in the house of commons, has placed the total house shortage for the whole of the United Kingdom at roughly 1,000,- 900. A house for rent notice board in London quickly attracts a crowd.
 Housing is a department of the minister of health and, by legislative act, local authorities are required to submit housing schemes. Thousands of schemes have been submitted, but progress has been very slow.
 Perhaps the chief reason for this has been the economic factor. Houses much to build as before the war, can- not obviously let or sell at pre-war figures.
 Nevertheless, according to govern ment statistics, some 60,000 new houses were started in 1920 and the number contracted for has risen dur ing the year from 10. 40S to 133, 301.
 One striking feature of the effort to provide houses is a housing scheme conducted by the office of works which was empowered to spend $30,- 900, 900 spread over eighteen months It's operations started In Camberwe1l
 south London borough. An ar rangement was made by which the office of works supplied the plans
 material and supervision, while the local federation of trades unions sup. piled the labor and the borough coun cil assumed responsibility for the finances The plan worked smoothly and houses were built for s3,90t apiece, a saving of at least s1,000 | making a total saving to taxpayer. l of s2,000,000. This scheme may be come the embryo of a state building department.
 The financial difficulties connected with the housing problem have beer responsible for the creation by loca | authorities of interest bearing .'hous | ing bonds" which are in some locali l ties a fairly popular investment. 1 In the north of England, concret | houses have Become popular, as ma 1 chinery largely replaces man-powe l in their erection. In some parts 0 | London, too, such houses have bee,
 built recently, owing to the shortag | of bricks. the high rate of wages an, | other difficuluties

Would Name Highway in New Hampshire
 for Webster

Concord. N. H., Jan. 12-Backe by many prominent citizens, the New Hampshire Bar Association is com. pleting plans for pushing through the legislature a bill for naming one of the three main roads running through the Granite States the Daniel Web ster Highway
 It is contended that such a move would be but fitting memorial to the fame of the states greatest cit izen. and packers of the proposal point out that the Daniel Webster highway would be to the state what
 the. Licoln highway is to the nation. Much sentiment has been created in favor of conferrine the name of Web ster upon the so-called middle road, ,' which runs from Nashua. near the Massachusetts line, north through 1 Manchester, Concord and Laconia to
 the Canadian line north of Colebrook 1 Advocates of this plan point out
 such route would carry the trsv- eller through spots associated with l Webster's early life.
 His birthplace is but a few miles
 from Franklin and connected with the proposed Webster highway by g good sized road.

HE DARKENED HIS
 CRAY HAIR
Tells How He Did It.

Mr. J. A., McCrea, we1l-known resident of California, who was called Daddy and Grandpa on ac- count of his white hair, and who darkened it with a homemade mix ture, recently. made the following statement:
 Anyone can prepare simple mix ture at home that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum. a small box of Barbo Com pound and 4 ounce of glycerine.
 These. ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice 8 week until the desired shade is obtained. It does not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off"

Forty Years Of 1t
LNRTi years ago, as the temporal
l. crow flies. Il. d. Sears won the first
tennis crown of the United states.
Sears continued the habit for seven
years, until he finally gave way before
Ii. w. Slocum, Jr., in XSSS. After
Slocum, the predominant figures were
o. 3. Campbell, three times winner II.
d. Wrenn, four times; Malcolm Whit.
man, three times, and w. A. Larned,
seven times
Mclaughlin, Williams and Johnston
scrambled to the peak on two occasions,
and. with Tilden, the two latter are
three Of the leading figures left.
Too Many Stars
TNOO many stars have emerged from
L the multitude for any man now to
follow Sears or Larned through seven
victorious seasons.
Mclaughlin, Johnston and Williams
will inform you that it is hard enough
to win the title twice. Even rs fine
a player as Tilden has only mounted the
main summit once in his career, al
though he twice has won the British
championship.
The lane to the top is now long and
winding, replete with talent that may
produce an upset upon moment
notice.
Few Repeaters
TN 1912 and 1913 Mclaughlin won the
l. tennis championship. In 1912 and
1913 Jerry Travers won the amateur
golf crown. .,
No man has repeated since in either
game. And neither Mclaughlin nor
Travers has been able to win another
amateur title.
Johnston, Williams and Evans have
each won two titles since 1913. but not
upon successive annual dates.
When each returned to DEFEND ms
throne some interloper was on the job
with a blackjack held in either fist.
They couldn't make the grade In sue
cessive assaults.
This may be due partly to the fact
that 1t is frequently harder to defend
championship than 1t Is to win one. But
the main reason is an er-growing sur,
plus of championship talent, good
enough, upon certain occasions, to beat
ANYBODY in the way. WI,
In tennis. Tilden. Johnston, WILL
liams, Richards and Washburn all belong
to that set. In golf the same Is true
of Evans-Ouimet. Jones, Fownes and
Gardner, to mention only a few.
There are too many good ones around
for any title holder to stalk abroad
without having his crown painted on
with indelible ink.
