The only refractoriness came
when I would order him to bed at
$50 o'clock. He never was quite
reconciled to that and would plead
that If he went to bed at that time
he would kick about under the
blankets for hours.
He would want one more tune
on the monograph or another ses-
sion at pinchole, but I would arise
in mock wrath and threaten to
heat him up and he would laugh, un-
dress and, Of course, as / knew q
man who had done his days train
ing would, Jack would fall asleep
within a minute after his head had
touched the pillow.
He had no bad days or sign OF
illness during the entire training,
which began in the middle Of May
anu GuQSu Oh July o.
A valuable feature Of his training
was that precisely at o'clock each
day he took on his sparring part
ners for twelve rounds. This hour
insisted on every day of his
training because 1t was the time
set for the fight itself on July 4.
In that way I had my man &C.
customed to face a battle at a
certain time so that when the day
of the big fight came it seemed no
more to him than the usual pro-
gram at the camp.
Moreover, many times fought
him in the open in rain or shine.
He boxed at least a dozen times in
pouring rain. There was no
canopy over the ring in the arena
where the fight was to take place
and it might have so happened that
on July 4 at o'clock 1t might
have been raining. So he was
habituated to go the distance in
any kind Of weather.

GONZACA HIGH WINS
FROM DEWITT ,2O.TO o

GonZaga High football team yester-
dav gave a 200 defeat to the Dewitt
Prep eleven at the Tidal Basin grid
iron.
Gonzaga's first score came as a
result of broken field runs by O'Cal-
lahan and Mitchell, for 80 and 40
yards, respectively.
In the final period Collier and
Genau carried the ball to Devitt's
I20-yard line through line plunges. An
off-tackel dash by Genau put the ball
over. Collier missed the try for drop
kick. Gonzaga's final score came by
q pickup of a blocked kick. On Con
zaga's 40-yard line, Smith attempted
to kick for a field goal. Flanagan
blocked the ball, recovered it and ran
40 yards for a touchdown.

More game and better shooting
are possible I'm the near future
for the sportsman of moderate
means. The ''PubIic Shooting
Grounds Game Refuge Bill"
which looms up before the next
Congress. provides for certain
areas to be put aside Tor pubic
shooting preserves. THESE prop
critics or parks to be purchased
by the Government through a
fund provided for by q one dollar
annual Federal license, paid by
hunters who desire to use the
public grounds.

most wild life conservatlonistS, says
that the passage Of the bill will
mean a shooting paradise for the
poor man and refers to the meas
ure as the zone Gallows Man"
Eltinge F. Warner, publisher of
Field and Stream, says the most
valuable things, are available to all
nankind-rich and poor alike if
they will reach out and take them.
Air and light belong in common to
everybody that breathes and sees.
And so the pleasantest and the
most splendid of our country's re-
sources-roads, rivers, forests, IL
braries, museums-belong to every
one. No rich man possesses a
greater share than the poor man in
the Fairgrounds, the parks, or the
pleasures Of the outdoors. They
are more the poor mans than the
rich mans for the poor man uses
and enjoys them more-they are
the poor mans riches.
Passage of the Public Shooting
Ground Game Refuge Bill" will pro.
vide the man of moderate means
with a nearby place to shoot and
enjoy himself. 1t will also create
more game, some of which will
spill out into the preserves of the
wealthy. The poor, the rich and
the game benefit by this common
sense legislation.

from the original paintings made by White Singer" and other eminent chiefs
 In the art of the Navajos, paintiLg music, the dance, poetry, and drama, 1are indivisable and all are expressions of religion. The medicine man is high priest, physician, singer, dancer and sets the stage for no mean drama. He depends upon his memory for every detail and teaches the cult in turn to his followers. The legend reads that when the Holy Ones" gave the cere- monies to man, the priests were en- joined to memorize them and destroy the originals. This was done not only to avoid their falling into sacreligious hands, but principally to write them on the hearts of living men.
 They were therefore made in color ed sand, and destroyed the same day they were made. Thus both paintings and charts passed on from generation to generation, changing gradually and many of them fading from memory of even the oldest priests.
