GOT THE MONEY IN
PRIZE FIGHT GAME

Somewhere in these United States
there may be another woman prize
fight promoter, but whether or not,
the fact remains that Miss Mary Price
Of Huntington, w Va, is the only one
south of the Mason and Dixon line,
and probably the only one who ever
made any money at the game.
And at that she was working for
the American Legion, and not for her
self.
When the United States stepped into
the World war to put over the X. o..
Miss Price decided she'd get in, too.
So she enlisted in the navy, and they
made her yeowoman. When she
was discharged and had Joined the
Huntington post of the Legion they
decided she was just the person need
ed to put over a series of contem-
plated boxing bouts. The post need
ed money for a clubhouse and Mary,
who was filed with the enthusiasm
usually found In a pretty miss Of
twenty-four, said she would go to it.
She hired the hall, and looked over the
field for frst-class fighters. Light
weights, she saw, made the neatest
fight - nothing of the knock down
and-drag-out character-so she put on
three ten-round bouts. Johnny Martin
of New York versus Patsy Haley Of
Cincinnati, was the main go. A scrap

SIGNING CHECKS

GRANDFATHER was very pune
" tilious as TO the methods he used
In doing business. He paid his debts
as regularly and surely as sunrise, but
be was distrustful Of banks. He was
afraid that the money would not be
there when he drew on it. So he kept
his monetary possessions In gold usu-
ally, In an old stocking concealed I'M
der a loose brick at the side of the
from q plug Of chewing tobacco to a
farm, he paid for it in real money taken
from the old sock. We thought him
very eld-fashioned, but | am begin
ming lateiy to see the wisdom of his
procedure. There was no charging
accounts with him; no protested
checks, none returned marked IN. s.
F.; the transaction was closed when
he paid the money. and that was the
end of it.
Young Morton, an acquaintance Of
mine, is not so distrustful of the banks
as was my grandfather. He puts his
money in and keeps on drawing until
the checks give out. He does not con-
slider the bank as a depositary Of bis
funds, which he must account for care
fully, never taking out more than he
has put in. It is an inexhaustible
source of supply TO him which the
banks should consider themselves
lucky in being allowed to handle. He
writes checks when he knows there is
no money to his account; he writes
them in the hope that there will be
money by the time the check gets
back; he writes them even on banks In
which he never had money because he
happens to find check of that bank.
It is the inexperienced youth who
does this, you say the boob from the
country town who has never before
had bank account. who is hard up
and who has little money TO manage.
| wish 1t were SO. Carelessness Is the
general cause, thoughtlessness, ire
sponsibnity, disregard of the law. the
desire TO put something over.
A checking account Is a convenience.
but no young person should be al
lowed to open one up until he has been
taught something of the responsible
lies of business

for the championship of West Vir-
ginia was pulled off between Mike
Kearney and Freddie Dunlop. Then
there was curtain raiser. Yes, it
was a good bill, and she signed them
up herself.
When the evening of the fray ar
rived, Miss Mary. as they called her,
routed out a score Of her yeowomen
compatriots and put them in white duck
uniforms for ushers. To see that no
gate-crashers got by. Miss Mary took
the tickets herself.
The card was eminently satisfac-
tory. and the thousands who attended
went home completely at peace with
the world. Miss Mary figured up the
cash statistics and found that her
post was the gamer by $1,000 which
went into clubhouse fund.
She staged two other bouts and was
in the midst of negotiating for finish
battle between Benny Leonard, light
weight champion, and Johnny Dundee,
Leonard's business partner, when ma
tional headquarters Of the Legion
heard about her.
Forthwith the young lady was
called to Indianapolis, where she as
sumed secretarial responsibility in the
finance division She is Legion en-
thusiast, and whenever her post gets
behind or needs money she's going
back and put on another bout. She
says so. and she ought to know.

0H ELLO, Central Give me two-o-
L two-eight, please"
as this two-o-two-eightY' There
was sound of confusion at the other
end of the wire as the telephone re-
ceiver clicked-a mixture of tortured
piano and riot and rough house com
bined out of which a harsh voice
sounded.
''W-e-l-l?r
This is Mr. Clark"
"Who?n
'Mr Clark. l."
"Well, what In the HI do you want?
Shoot 1t out"
/ finally succeeded in making my
identity clear, and the voice sofrened
perceptibly What I really did want
was TO deliver very important tele-
gram to an undergraduate student.
There is little doubt that the tele-
phone has helped to facilitate BUSH
ness, and that 1t has brought the eoun-
try people nearer to each other and
nearer to town. When / was boy
and wanted to ask a girl to go out
with me to singing school. / had TO
saddle a horse and ride three or four
miles TO see her; now all that Is neces-
sary for young fellow is to call her
up on the telephone and ask if she
has a date for Friday night. What
ever the telephone has done TO eneour-
age matrimony and TO put the punch
into business, II has not had an inn
proving influence upon our courtesy or
our manners. We employ language
and tones when using the telephone
which we would never dream of do
ing or dare TO do If speaking face to
face with an individual We insult
helpless telephone girls and grocer
boys and engage In alterations with
officials In way that would not have
been possible before the days of the
telephone. We ask the most unneces-
sary and insane and personal ques-
tons at times most inopportune. We
babble and patter and retail gossip
and carry on firtations to shocking
extent.
l have been rung out Of bed at mid
night TO give someone the name Of
the president Of the Menorah society.
and / have been called away from
dinner party to settle dispute be-
tween two women whose names / had
never heard before as to whether or
not son Of the kaiser had been killed
during the recent Teutonic unpleasant
ness One is not likely to find man In
bed or at meals II one times his calls
properly, and though we would never
think Of calling at g mans house at
lunch time or at night to settle our
trifling business. we do not hesitate
to call him on the telephone.
A friend of mine whose family was
seriously Ill last year remarked that
she could have managed everything
quite comfortably If it had not been
for the telephone. 1t rang continu-
ously from daylight TO dark until it
wore her out and drove her half mad.
Finally she had it taken out and went
to the neighbors when she needed to
telephone.
The worst Of it is that most Of US.
though we complain of them at one
time or another, are ourselves guilty
Of these discourtesies. Perhaps If we
would think we would not be.

soon forced him perilously near the

IF YOU WANT TO WRITE
By LAURA MILLER

Ii you want to write, do newspaper
work, is the stereotyped advice to
folks who have the desire but NOT
enough of the know-how to plunge in. ;
Which newspaper and where, is the
usual retort, with trailer, How can
l get on New York daily, so as to
have the guidance of great editor?'
10 which the answer from those who
know the game, is equally stereotyped,
"Dontl"
OF the people who know how, one
might take Lessie Stringfellow Read.
whose name appears in the better mag
azines, and who has the courage to
refuse editorial positions in New York
and Washington Mrs. Read has dis
covered the fascination of doing the
big work from the little place. AS
editor of the Fayetteville Daily Dem
ocrat, she likes being friends with "ev-
erybody from the corner policeman to
the mayor, the very rich and the very
poor, the business man and his meth
DDS. All this permits the small-town
editor to make the more intimate study
of character that is invaluable to
writer"
She likes being volunteer editor of
the General Federation News, which
she founded That official organ of
2,O00,0O0 club women has given "ac-
every state and dozen foreign
lands" And she likes the opportunity
which is better in Arkansas than in
New York-of being correspondent for
"the great press services, one ma
tional daily, and four large metropoli-
