Omitted Press Sports Editor)
NEW YORK. Jan. 81 Omitted
Press) Saving boxing and "for
The good of baseball" are two OF
the best chestnuts OF modern times.
They are slogans for campaigns
that have nothing to do with sport.
Boxing and major baseball are
not sports-they are highly COM
mercialized amusements.
II boxing hasn't sufficient virtue
to save itself. It ought TO be lost.
When club owners ask the pub
.lc-"Come and help me make more
money"

More real citizens by far are en-
s-agod in playing tennis. golf. bill

amusement than IN baseball or box
-ig.
Boxing is a good form Of enter
talnment when It is considered
merely as such. The trouble is that
those interested In boxing for what
they get out OF II try TO make II
Sppear as something else.
Professional boxing Is nothing but
prize fighting and the men engaged
in professional boxing are prize
fighters. no matter by what other
name they are called.
To refer 10 boxing as the manly
-irt Of self-defense" is silly and It
is done for the purpose OF cover
ing up what It really ls.
Very few professional boxers
could take care Of themselves in a
hand-to-hand encounter. Few OF
them showed an inclination toward
r,al lighting when they had the op-
portunlty in 1917. Their idea OF
seif-defense was 10 stay at home.
Most OF them went to training
camp as instructors. One OF them,
"a worlds champion up 10 the pres

cantonment in Ohio because he
would not obey the regulations that |

SPORTS FOR
VALENTINE GATHERING

a valentine party should feature
literally, the worlds most popular
game-the game OF hearts.
II you've plenty Of room, here's a
good contest TO try:
on one wall arrange a sheet or
large piece Of white card board. On
II make = target OF red and white
hearts, graduated in size and alter
mating in color until the center one
is very small.
Number the different hearts. say
10, 90. 30, 40. and 100. the latter
number being the one for the center
heart-the 10 for the outside.
Give every guest a bow and arrow
and let each one have the same
number Of chances.
Beware Stray Shots.
This is great fun, played by blind
folded marksmen. but the other
guests should be careful 10 keep be-
hind him, as he can't be held en-
tirely responsible for his aim.
Cupid's Well Is a good stunt:
In a darkeaed corner have erect
ed a mound to carry the Idea of a
well. presided over by the Queen Of
Hearts.
Bhndfolded, each guest reaches
his arm into the well and receives
a sealed package in which his fu-
ture is revealed 20 him.
Make Prizes Timely.
This game is sometimes produc-
tive Of artistic results. Give each
guest a small portion OF paper
lace, red cardboard and crayons and
any other material that may occur
to you as useful in making valen-
tines. Allow a certain time for the
making Of these trifles, and award
prize to the most beautiful and the
least so. Some guests prefer making !
comics.
Prizes should always be in the 4
spirit of the occasion-a heart |
shaped box filled with candy or
nuts, or any of the numerous fav-
ors to be found at the favor
counter.
The main point to remember is to
provide a number Of stunts. and |
not to prolong any one past the
point of interest.
Let the guests get into the spirit
Of the occasion, and often they will
prefer making their own entertain
ment to following any set program. |

 The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or IT bladder bothers you, begin drinking lots of good water and also get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoon ful in a glass of water before break fast for few days and your kidneys may then act fine.

SHORT SKIRT AND' BLOUSE POPULAR
Typical Costume Of Ameri- can Woman And Girl,
 Survey DisCloses

NEW YORK. Nov. 17.-(By Associ- ated Press )-The separate blouse and skirt Is the typical costume of the American woman and girl, according to the United Women's Wear League, which recently completed survey of tbe evolution of American fashions for women.
 Fostered by native conditions of living. the shirtwaist has been the favorite costume in this country from the very beginning of the nations history and now remains strongest in popular favor, the investigators found While foreign style importa- tions have come and gone, the vogue of the blouse and skirt has never Waned permanently because Ameri- can women have found that costume both practical and suited to their type-tal, slim, athletic and active,
 Abroad the dress and gown. of French and Italian origin, have held sway and modes of living have de- clared against the blouse and suit European designers evefy season send to this country new fashions for eve ming wear but rone sends costur1, which vies with the blouse for the practical necessities of every day American life.
 Somewhere between the dignity of formal dress and the striving for dar- ing that French mannequins exhibit on fashion parade" according to M. Mosesohn. executive chairman of the league, there Is place for the cos tune that expresses the independence of the American girl--this girl you see in illustra tions, on the streets. in the shops, this tall, straight, slim, active girl who walks with a swing of her capable shoulders and looks about her with a direct, fearless gaze.
 "It is this type of girl who has clung tenaciously to the separate blouse in all it's manifestations. She knows that it is becoming. that it is a style out of reach of the dowdy and the dumpy and she has made Il her own. Let who will wear the mar row, clinging draperies (she wears them herself in the, evening), but she finds the best expression of her per sonality in the free and easy lines of modern blouse and skirts 1t is her uniform but devoid of all the mono- tonous implications of the word.'

 There's more to the story. The next day happened to go to that same telegraph office again to send mes sage to Washington. The same girl waited on me. Once more she did not know the rate on a 1O-word mes sage to Washington without look ing it up, and she did rot know to look for Washington in the Distriet of Columbia. Of course, the girl could not help being only moderate ly keen minded. She was sweet and obliging and did the best she could.
 But my point is that I and other users of the telegraph service prob ably had to pay for her shortcom-

girls were behind the counter to re- ceive messages. The one who waited on me did not know the rate on a 1O-word message to Washington and had to look 1t up. This took her some time because she was puzzled over what state to look for in her book Finally, at my suggestion, she looked for District of Columbia, and ascertained the rate.
 Then I offered her a message to Boston. She did not know the rate there either, and again turned to her book. By chance the pages opened at Minnesota. Not being any too sure of her alphabet, she was uncer- tain whether to turn forward or

COTTON MILL SOUGHT
Andalusia Citizens Go After New In-
 dustry In Earnest

ANDALUsIA, Ala, Nov. 17.--(spe- cial.)--Co-operation in the interest of a great business revival is asked for by a committee appointed to raise funds for Andalusias first cotton mill. These gentlemen are out in personal letter to every citizen of the town and county who believes in going from where we are now toward greater achievements industrially to attend a mass meeting a the court house next Monday afternoon. Dis cussing the proposed plan. one asem- Der of the committee remarked that Andalusia can well afford to take a holiday in order to insure a cotton mill, and his sentiments are enter tained by hundreds in this section, according to expressions that have been made public already.
 The committee is composed of 0. L. Benson, c. A. ONeaL, A. C. Darling, H. J. Law. E. R. Merrill and S. B. Milligan.

more accommodations. not more cases. The insane used to be whipped to drive out the devil Now they are treated as sick people, and the importance of the feeble mind edness problem is realized. The pub lie conscience has softened. But the accident tables are concrete"
 The prime symbol of everyday speed, the automobile, leads in these tables. According to Dr. Dublin's Safety council committee, the total of fatal accidents in the continental United States in 1922 was 75,272, the automobile heading the list with 13,- S75. Accidental falls add 12,7S2: but two forms of transportation other than the automo mobile--railronds and street cars-give G.631 between them. Machinery accounts for 3l6S, and burns and drownings, respectively 6.000, and 6.992 make up the balance The speed habit is a factor in all.
 The 1922 aggregate showed an in crease over 1921, though 1920 is still the high record, with coo more than last years total. The committee re- ports says, however: Here in the United States we have between 5000 and 10000 more accidents than we should expect from the record of England and Wales.'
