Is bidding for ring fame.
 He is Johnny, brother of the Jot. Shugrue of lightweight fame several years ago. Joe, the older brother never held a title during his careei but he was one of the cleverest andl most popular lads in his division. Hiar ca gerness to bore in and his style of hitting straight from the shoulder. made him a favorite.
 He had licked Freddy Welsh. then champion, in two no-decision affairs and was preparing to seek a decision battle with the king when an injury to Shugrue's eyes caused him to lose his sight partially and ended his ring days.
 Shugrue started a. bautanwefghk. A four-round knockout victory over Benny Leonard is listed among Joe's early victories. Leonard wasn't well known then, however.
 In1912 Shugrue met Charley White twice and these two great batt1ers failed to settle the matter of suprena- acy. Joe also took on the French lightweight, Louis DePonthieu, then under the tuteIage of Frankie Erne, Shugrue beat the French lad, who later suffered injuries in the World War which ended his career.
 Leach Cross, Owen Moran and OnS Round Hogan were among Shugrue's victims when he was at his best.
 When young brother Johnny ob- tained a shade decision over Johnny Dundee the other night in New York the older rfngsiders recalled that

Reason Lumber
 Being Shipped
 To Japan By US.

Tokio, Oct. 1s.-A Japanese mer- chant. long resident abroad, where he learned to enjoy the comforts of American household conviences and utensils, has just completed a resi- dence south of Yokohama every stick and fitting of which was i'm. ported from America It Cost him, SO his bills show, just half as much as it would have cost had 1t been built of Japanese timber and mater inls, and he and his family declare the comforts are not to oe compared.
 This is one of the reasons for the increasing importations of lun,hcr from the Pacific coast states CT America. Another reason is that Japan, owing to the disturbed con ditions in Siberia is not receiving as much lumber as heretof 'fe from Russia. Japanese lumberUe7 have tried to increase the customs duty on lumber and this the ?ahlDet has refused to do as the impOrtations keep down the prices of the products from the local forests; already costs of construction is so high that in vestors will not build houses Of which there is g great shortage One | American firm has shipped 70 Japan a few ready made" nouSes but thus far there has not been great de- maad for these.
 The modern Japanese wan,s a semi-fOreign house. His wife and daughter, unlike the men who have travelled abroad, have not learned to appreciate the comforts of central heating. tiled baths and modern saui- tary fittings. They want at least some Japanese rooms, above all a room for their tea ceremonial which to a Japanese girl is as important as Q graduation to the average Am crican girl. Many of the men too like occasionally to revert to the comforts" of their childhood.
 When the cost of labor, cement, bricks, plumbing and other access sories are reduced the impOrtations of lumber will be further increased. At present the skilled mechanics here receive comparatively high wages but the primitive tools they use prevent them from accomplish. ling nearly the amount of work daily which the American does with his up-to-date contrivances. The Japan ese have not yet appreciated this,

COUPLE MARRIED ON
55 CENTS SEPARATE
Even Advent of Baby Fails to
Keep Novel Honeymoon
ers Together.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30
Fifty.five cents isn't a large amount
on which to finance a romance, but
Thomas Booker and Bertha Lehman
were seventeen, and 1t seemed
enough a year ago, when they
eloped.
What pretty story it would
have made had their venture been
a success. For there are three in
the little family. and Tom has multi
piled the fifty-five cents many times,
and Bertha is really a very pretty
girl.
But things seem to go all wrong,
and even the arrival Of Jimmy" a
few months ago didn't hold the i'm
petuous young couple together.
Bertha is seeking a divorce on the
ground of non-support. and the
court has granted her a preliminary
decree. They had separated a few
months before because they just
could not seem to get along.
Isn't that the trouble with life
always wringing the romance out
Of things.
