WILLS WINS BY
KNOCKOUT IN 4TH

Newark, y. D.. Nov. o-HaffE w Ills,
New Orleans heavyweight title con-
tender, technically knocked out Jack
Thompson, of Boston tonight, in the
fourth round of Il y round match at
the First Regiment Armory. Thomp-
sons seconds threw i towel into the
ring as he went down heavily for the
second time in the round from a bat
terinS attack to the head and body.
For the first three rounds and
most of the fourth Thompson with
stood q terrific pummeliing He
show little effective otfense himself
but seemed able to absorb the hard
est shocks of Wills hooks and swings
and come back for more.
Wills rushed out OF his corner in
the fourth intent upon ending The
, battle. He soon had Thompson grog
! gy with slaShing rights and lefts to
the head and ribs. A right uppcrcut
sent the Boston man down to his
knees and he took count of nine.
' He arose only to meet another with
ering drive and fled about the ring.
But it required a fusillade OF care
! fully timed punches before Wills was
able to bring down his man. Referee
Henry Lewis had counted three over
! the PROSTATE negro when a towel
came hurting into the ring.
1t was a rough and tumble en-
! counter most of the way. Wills was
guilty of questionable tactics at close
| quarters in the first and second
rounds. while he numerically bat
| tered Thompson about the body. The
; latter was i'll constant retreat and
/ hung on repeatedly.
! In the third Thompson again took
Wills hardest blows wagging his
| head side to side without raising Il
glove in defense as his opponents
blows ratified off his chin. Then for
a brief session the Boston man raj
lied and drove Wills back. This Of
Tense was short lived, however, and
Wills had his man hanging on at the
bell. That was Thompson's last
| furry. He was little less than a
chopping block for Wills in the final
round.
More than 1900 fans witnessed
the battle and gave Wills a noisy
| greeting. Battling Sikh, Senegalese
conquerer of Georges Carpenter, sat
at the ringside and wished Wills good
luck as the latter came down the
aisle.

In the first place, let me say that

obsolete. 1t is one of the trickiest
of the trick plays, if 1t works, and
every coach hates to be the victim
of it. The diagram will show tho
formation clearly. 1t is a play which
depends wholly on surprise and speed
for its execution. 1t is used as one
of series of plays. two plays then
the shoestring pass. In the two plays
preceding the pass, one end lags
farther and farther to the side and
when it is time for the pass the play
is executed without signals. 1t NAV

RESPONSIVENESS

Go with me into one of the most attractive tea-rooms and
candy shops in New York, Boston or Newport. Have with
me the most delicious luncheon that you could desire and then
for the matinee buy a box of worldfamed candy.
These shops and these goodies are the result OF a WON
ans resourcefulness. Mary Elizabeth Evans, in private life
Mrs. Henry D. Sharpe, is famous for her candy and her tea
rooms. Brought up to a life Of luxury and ease she was
forced when a young woman to earn her own living. She had
had no business training, what should she dol 1t was then
that her resourcefulness came to her aid. She began making
candy, the old-fashioned homemade kind, and sold it to her
friends and ~neighbors. From a business which she started
on a kitchen stove has grown toda y a business corporation OF
which Mary Elizabeth is head, with an income Of over $4,000
a year.
Another example of a woman's resourcefulness is that Of
Mrs. Helen R. Mascher of New York City. Several years ago
she conceived the clever idea of supplying dainty sandwiches
for drug store soda fountains. Her first order was for sixty
sandwiches. The orders quickly grew until today she is at the
head of a large business employing several hundred people
and supplying sandwiches wrapped in wax paper to keep them
fresh, to soda water fountains all over the country, From her
business today she earns over $4,000 a year.
That is what ingenuity, originality, resourcefulness have
done for these women. 1t can do the same for you. Guilt
vate it. Its dividends are always large.

YOUR A B AM MINE
Bad Habits
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

The instant one tiny little action
becomes automatic we call 1t a habit.
Constant repetition Of an action
makes it automatic, 50 that the thing
we must guard against with children
from the very minute they are born
is to prevent them from repeating
actions which we do not want TO
develop into habits.
There is that very important
matter of crying. All babies do It.
Sometimes they have good reason
for crying and we would be cruel
indeed to let them cry it out" when
it is from hunger or pain or the dis
comfort Of being cold. But It Is easy
for the baby 10 whine a trihe, that
being all he knows, and then for this
whine to be Immediately followed by
cuddling. The baby will like It, and
he will put two and two together
and say: "Ha-look what happens;
1 cry and nay mother comes and
picks me up and cuddles me-" Nat
urally he repeats this pleasing ex-
perience, until crying to be taken up
becomes a bad habit. n that after
the first novelty of the baby has
worn off causes its mother much dis
grundement.
All habits are formed in just such
simple ways. When the baby stops
crying instantly when he is picked
up one may conclude that that was

Blame Il on styles

Shame IL on Styles
The world is going to the dogs
again.
This time it is because women are
wearing sleeveless sweaters this
summer, or maybe it IL pleated
skirts.
There probably never was a period
in the worlds history when woman'c
fashions weren't corruptlng the NOR
ais of the young, filling the donjon
keeps, or the penitentihries. We've
no doubt that in long sea voyages
where sailors haven't had = glimpse
Of a girl for months and months,
women's fashions several thousand
miles away are held responsible for
filing the brig.
Styles are insidious things. The
eyelet embroideries of q decade age,
more popularity known as "peeka-
boo,' the bustles and tight lacing of
the eighties, the hoopskirts and
"Grecian bends Of the Civil War,
and form-revealing lines of the thir-
ties or maybe the roaring forties,
the powdered hair Of the Colonial
dames-they've all been thundersd
as signposts on the road to perdition.
Women's styles ran neck and neck
with the Demon Rum as a home
wrecker prior to prohibition. II
Friend Wife was "dressy'' she was
extravagant: II she thought the kids
needed shoes worse than she needed
Jade earrings, "she had no pride In
her appearance" The inference
was that she needn't be surprised X
she discovered her husband follow
ing after strange g~oddesses.
1t seems to us that the fashions OF
1923 combine beauty and practical
bility as in no previous period.
There are bizarre exceptions, Of
course, but, on the whole, we are In
clined to believe that the male critics
who denounee present styles 30 Wig
orously are doing 30 merely from
habit, and not from impartial inves-
tigation of the facts.

Contrary to the accepted run of
things, the popular felt hats Of the
early fall are not severely blocked,

are, but are brought out IN soft,
draped lines, according TO the cur
rent bulletin of the Retail Millinery
Association OF America. However,
this fabric is not only proving popu-

brighter shades for trimmings as
well. Hatters' plush and felt are a
well-liked combination, since thu

He exhibited signs of being queer

Being put to bed al q certain hour
every nap time and at night must
be made a good habit by repetition.
This can be accomplished after six
weeks by putting the baby down at
a certain hour and then leaving hl1a

for a night or two, but the results
are worth working for. I have very

Always he remained to her her baby,

It was his mother who was always
Benjamin's staunch supporter and
