BOTH TENDLER

CONFIDENT
WeIterWeight' Champion De-
tends Title in Ten
Round Bout

PHILADELPHIA, June 2.-Mic.
key Walker, Of Elizabeth, N. j..
welterweight champion of the
world is scheduled to defend his
title here tonight in a ten-round
decision bout with Lew Tender, of
Philadelphia.
Both boxers are confident that the
fight viii end in a knockout-each
man is equally confident he will
be the victor.
But despite the fact that Walker
was 9-to-5 favorite in the betting,
men who handle the wagers were
getting even money that Tender
would be on his feet at the end Of
the tenth round and another even
money bet was that if the local
southpaw was still fighting in the
sixth chapter, he would be a win.

Live in Fear of "DeuiIs"

In practically all parts of New
Guinea the natives believe that the
'tamarangs' or evil spirits come out
as soon as it is dark and are constant
Iy on the watch for stray negroes,
says the Detroit News. Fortunately,
however, the devils are quite unable
to pass fire at night, so a village is
protected by a ring of small fires about
1t. Sometimes the fires are placed in
a circle around the settlement and
sometimes just four are made, one at
each n of the place. Inside this
protective belt the negro has no fear
whatever of the "tamarangs," but in
the case of the bush natives especially
all the timed meat and jew's-harps in
New Guinea would not tempt him out
side it before dawn in districts known
to be afflicted with devils.

Famous Rornon Baths
Haze Been OUerrated

We go to the movies and see scenes
arranged to impress us with the
luxury of the old Roman baths in use
1000 years ago; and very few of US
realize how superior the up-to-date
bathroom is to those costly ancient
edifiees. SO says a w%ell-known maker
of up-to-date bathrooms.
The Roman baths, he continues,
were built, as a rule, by the emperors.
their cost being TOO great for a private
individual. Crude and clumsy was the
method by which the water was heat
ed and carried from one pool to an
other. Although it was changed on
tinually. every one bathed in the same
water, and soap was unknown. The
baths were open only at certain hours
of the day, an admission price was
charged and their use was limited to
mobiles and freemen of the city.
In Greece marble slabs were hol-
lowed out and filed with water, which
was splashed or poured from urns over
the head or body of the bather. Down
through the Middle ages plumbing fix
lures. as we understand the term, were
unknown.

him.
1t was Dicky Duck who won the
prize and his mother wa so proud that
she Dragged about it all around the
yard. But the next morning she was
so worried for fear he had o%verworked
that she made him sit in a nice mud
puddle while she hunted for his food.
what are you doing there?" called
out old Mr.. Drake when he saw Dicky
sitting all comfortable. why are you
not hunting for worms?"
81 worked so hard yesterday that 1
am tired" said Dicky Duck.
From under his wing old Mr.. Drake
took a switch he had cut and said IF
you do not wish to know how this feels
across your back and around your legs
you begin to waddle, and waddle fast.
The next time l see you taking any
food that your mother has found l
shall let you find out just how a nice
willowy switch feels as well as looks"
Dicky waddled away, and when his
mother returned with a fat worm for
her only child wise Mr.. Drake said
"YOu son is one to be proud of, Ma
dam Duck, and he wishes me to tell
you he can carr his own living now,
and you are not to bother again getting
worms or bugs for him.
HE is ashamed of sitting around
while you work, for the other duck
lings think he just happened to find
the biggest worm yesterday, and it was
luck, not because he was so smart.
And now he wants to show them they
are mistaken.
"An | will tell you something,
madam; the farmer has looked in your
nest several times lately, and If you
wish to live to see how smart your son
really is, m advice to you is to attend
to e~gg-laying and let Dicky show how
clever he is"
Madam Duck swallowed the worm
she had for her son and looked after
Mr.. Drake with wide-open eyes. But
she waddled off to the duck house and
found her nest, for she knew Mr..
Drake was a wise old bird and there
was truth in what he said.
81 managed that rather cleverly, /
think" said Mr.. Drake as he waddled
toward the pond. 81 shall have no
more trouble with either of them, I
feel sure"
