|AD STONE STANDS
 OUT PROMINENTLY
(continued from Preceding Page)

Stone was a mere youth when ht unanswered himself into the army Today he is only 22 years old, tho youngest light heavyweight in itht game. excepting stribling. the Geor' gia boy. He has been fighting profes' sionally less than two years. He i' remarkably well built and it will mol be long before he is a fullfedged heavyweight.
 Stones next bout of consequence may be against Gene Tunney, the champion, and himself a product of the war camps. The spectacle of two scrapping stalwarts, trained and inspired by your Uncle Samuel, fight ing for national flstic championship, would at least be unique. Yep, you can thank the war for that.
 Needs More Experience.
 In build and ring style, Stone rec minds you strikingly of Dempsey. He has Dempsey'a major character istic Of banking all on an eternally aggressive offense. Like the cham pion, Stone believes if you hit the other fellow first and often enough you won't have to worry much about getting hit yourself.
 From this you may take it that Stone is not hard to hit. You are right. To an experienced fighter this Is not a great handicap. It is not a great handicap to Dempsey, for instance. To Stone, however, 1t is, because he has not had much experience. For that reason he ought 10 proceed cautiously. Even Tunney. by no means a great fighter. probably knows too much for him at this writing.
 Stone is being trained by Lou Segal, a veteran lightweight, and a close family friend. It is unneces- sary to comment on Segal's capa- biiities other than 10 say that Stone has made more progress in a years time than any youngsier who has come to the sport in the past decade.

NANCY LANE IS
CALLED BY
STAGE
Daughter of Late Franklin K.
Lane on Eve of Career
as Actress.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 7.
-Desertion by Nancy Lane Kauff-
man, daughter Of the late Secretary
of the Interior, Franklin K. Lane,
Of the social circles she has been
accustomed to, for a stage career
appears to be assured today.
In spite Of denials by Mrs. Lane
that her daughter had made no
definite plans regarding a career,
1t appears almost certain that the
society belle will announce before
long her determination to become a
professional actress.
Mrs. Lane admitted today that
the former Nancy Lane will appear
in Secrets" a production at the
Alcazar Theater here next week,
though she refused to admit this
was the beginning of a professional
career.
Margaret Lawrence, noted actress,
was emphatic in declaring here that
Mrs Kaufman would be her
protege and would appear in per-
formances in Los Angeles before
going East.
II have seen Nancy Lane Kauff-
mans work and consider her the
coming genius of the stage. Next
year she can have a part In my
New York play"
Mrs. Kaufman herself remained
in seclusion and refused to confirm
or deny the reports She has been
prominent in local amateur thea.
tricalS for some time.

|NAGG|NG WIVES
| BOON, DOCTOR
DECLARES
o. K. if They Cause Husbands
To Take Precautions for
Health, He Says.
by ROLAND KREBS.
International News Service.

The nagging woman probably is
prolonging the life of her husband
rather than shortening it, according
to the theory Of DIR. Eugene Ly-
man Fisk, medical director of the
Life Extension Institute of New
York, who submitted his data in
the National Museum, in Wash.
ington.
A wife's nagging, he Ventured,
did much good if it caused her
husband to take precautions to pro.
tect his health. Married men, he
said, live longer than those who
remain bachelors.
DIR. Fiske said that more than
half the people were sick, but did
not know it. He believes there are
few diseases that cannot be pre-
vented.
He Endorsed periodical examina.
tions, particularly of the eyes and
teeth. He estimated that among
the working classes there are U.s.
600, 900 persons with defective sigh:
and as many with faulty teeth.
The physician put the economic
loss to the nation each year, re
sulting from preventable diseases
at $4,000, 100000.
DIR. Fisk declared that human
intelligence, if applied, could alter
the fact that average men are at
their best between the ages OF
eighteen and thirty-one, and that
the limit OF their working span is
forty-two to forty-five years.

PRISONERS FREED BY
MISTAKE RETURNED

YORK, Pa, March Through
an oversight by a deputy warden
at the York county Jail, Sherman
Ridgeway, his wife, Ethel, and his
brother, Floyd Ridgeway, all Of
Hagerstown, Md, were liberated
for three hours before they were
rearrested at the railroad station
while waiting for a train.
They are accused of the larceny
of several hundred dollars worth of
wearing apparel in this city. The
woman is soon to become a mother,
and the three were permitted to
waive hearing.
Alderman John w. Heller, jr.,
made out release papers and also
recommitment papers for their ap-
pearance at the April session Of

warden noticing only the release
papers, let the prisoners go.

ANNAPOLIS POLICE PAY
RAISE IS AGREED ON

ANNAPOLIS, March 7.-Agree-
ment has been reached on the city
police pay increase bill for an
amendment to give all members Of
the department of the grade of SER
geant and under $3.50 more weekly,
1t was said by some Assembly
leaders.
Mayor Jackson, it was said, has
agreed to the compromise, but City
Solicitor Perlman, who was in An
napolis today, said he had heard
nothing definite. John S. Frank"
Kelly was in Annapolis and saw
Governor Richie, but denied he
had taken strong position on the
bill.
The plan would cost approximate
'ly $4,000 a year, or three cents
on the tax rate, 1t is said. The
present bill would cost more than
double that sum.

IMPORTANCE
IN PARIS
Velvet Is Chosen Material and
Has Advantage Over
Satin.
BY ALICE LANGELIER.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

PARIS, March IF every cloud
has a silver lining, every cloak
and wrap Of the season has an
elegant one.
Innings are taking on more and
more Importance, and gone are the
days when they were simple and
plain bits Of silk. Now the lining
is often more beautiful than the
outside itself. especially for eve
ming capeS and cloaks for the
opera.
Velvet is The chosen material. a
soft panne velvet that is warm
and cosy and has the great ad-
vantage of sticking to ones Shout
ders. and not slipping. as the
satin does. Beige .colored velvet
lines a handsome kolinsky coat
coming from La Refine d'Angle-
terre" in the Faubourg st. Honore,
and a black satin coat with vision
COLOR and cuffs from "Charlotte's. I"
Drecoll uses royal purple chiffon
pleating for a scarlet velvet cape,
with gold lace about the bottom,
and Lucille uses bright red for a
black coat with red and silver cuffs
It is quite the thing to have the
lining match the gown. or at least
the trimming on 1t. This is espe-
cially true in the caseoof the print
ed materials and Persian effect.
Thus, Nicole Groult makes a
charming green velvet frock to
wear under a chinchilla cape lined
In bright green, and Drecoll a
salmon-colored one to wear under
a silver. gray squirrel cape lined
with salmon velvet.
Satin and brocade, Innings are Of
the richest beauty. and there are
scintillating lanes. Redfern makes
a purple velvet cape with large
billowy sleeves and very tight
about the legs. 1t is lined with
heavy pink satin. Lelong uses
tiers Of exquisite lace to line an
ermine cape, fit for any queen.

Dr.. Freeman Tells Women of
Need for Big Religious
Revival.

"Unless more interest is taken

retrenchment of missions" Bishop
James e. Freeman told the women

He said that provincialism Is
bound to detract from interest in
the churches and that the clergy,
especially, should look further than
their own parishes.
Bishop Freeman's assertions were
preceded by a Lenten talk in which
all were urged to set aside strife
and abstraction Of the world, and
practice reflection. He said that
the scandal and confusion now rife

had received from a Member Of
