Bank of England to Build
 New Stone and Steel Home
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. 24-Work of demol- ishing the buildings of the Bank of England, which have existed for 22O years as the "old lady of Threadnee- dle Street" to make way for the con- struction, expected to take from five to ten years, of modern accommoda- tons for the bank, has begun and, it is expected a start on the new foundations will be made early in January.
 The new buildings will extend three stories below the street and nine above, rising to a height of 100 feet, the two top stories being set back from the street. Very little of the structure, however, will be seen from the street since it will be built be- hind the old bank wall which will be retained intact. The buildings will be of steel frame construction with a stone facing.
 Care has been taken in the drawing of plans to preserve as many of the old features of the bank as are com patible with modern requirements. It has been decided that the historic "Parlor" in which the governor and directors meet, shall be reconstruct ed in it's entirety on the first floor

(By Associated Pressl


 BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 24.-The de. fvelopment of boxing in Argentina is shown by statement of the munici. pal revenue bureau saying that the sum of 152,0OO pesos has been col lected in taxes on professional match es in Buenos Aires from February to the end of October of this year. This amount represents ten per cent of the total gate money since Feb. 10, when the act authorizing boxing became effective. The money col lected is contributed 10 the mainten, ance of hospitals.
 Boxing was practically unknown in this country ten years ago, but thanks to the exploits of Luis Firpo in the United States, it is today very popu- lar. There are hundreds of clubs scattered throughout the country whose main activity is boxing, and the public interest in pugilism is steadily increasing Matches are held in Buenos Aires every night and the attendance runs from 5000 to 10000 accordig to the importance of the program. South American profession al and amateur boxing tournaments are held every year in which Angen- tina, hile and Uruguay participate.

 TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Jan. 24.-A movement to eliminate unsightly signs from along the public high ways in Florida, started in Lake county two years ago, has spread so rapidly that 21 of the 63 counties in the state have established regulations prohibiting any signs on public high ways except those placed there by authority of the county or state as definite guides.

For Instance, Canterbury cathedral
was first built In COS. on the site Of
an old church dating from very early
ages. II was destroyed by fire in 1904
and Archbishop Langfuac, on taking
office in 1910, undertook the rebuilding
Of an entirely new church. This listed

the eastern part. A fire destroyed
most of the portion OF the building
In INA, and from that year William
of Sens took up the work OF rebuild

severe injury by falling from scat

Hardy Reduced

Nature has endowed the giant red
woods with natural preservation
which protects the timber against de-
cay and rot indefinitely for centuries,
In fact after the trees have fallen or
been cut down. Trees known to have
been blown over in the woods long be-
fore the discovery Of America, and
which have lain exposed to the ele-
ments ever since, have been found to
be in splendid condition and capable Of
use as commercial timber.
One particular instance is recorded
where fallen tree was found under
meath another big redwood that had
grown astraddle the uprooted giant,
but when the standing tree was cut Its
rings showed It to be nearly 1000
years old
This meant that the uprOoted tree
had been down for nearly 1000 years.
The rings Of the fallen tree showed II
to be about 900 years old when It fell,
yet the log was sound and healthy

This Generation May See
Return to Knee Breaches

Men, it's just little more than a
century ago since long trousers began
to come into fashion. Beau Brummel,
the celebrated English society leader,
had introduced them few years be-
fore. His daring example had been
copied by the candles" of the day,
But most men held back, especially the
conservative substantial" ones.
They considered long trousers child
lsh form of masquerade and were
afraid they would look ridiculous IL
they abandoned knee-breeches.
Today It's the other way around.
After century, the pendulum
swings and knee breeches are said to
be coming back. They are worn by
golfers, engineers and other men Of
the outdoors and on camping trips
and hikes.
Judging by ease and comfort, n
great many men-if truth were known
would like to wear knee pants" all
the time.
Why not2 Alas, In their community

nothin' like ennis there,
Jim?"
The girl looked up into the mans
face. She stood leaning on the fence,
both elbows resting on the top-rail,
the moonlight showing full on her up
turned face, softenlng the heavy lines
of mouth and chin. All about them
rose the mountains, stepped in moon
light and In shadow, rearing their
wooded heights far into the evening
sky. Behind them stretched the white
road, and beyond that small noun
tain cabin, surrounded by few acres
of rough, rudely cultivated ground.
The September moon was waning,
but the night was warm and pallid
The mists hung low, pierced with
moonlight. A light wind, coming down
the valley, blew strands Of the girls
dark hair and wrapped her skirts
about her. bringing out the strong,
bold lines of her figure. She was
heavily built-large Of bone, deep Of
bosom-an overdevelopment, the re-
suit Of heavy work. Of toll in the fields
from sunrise to sunset. Environment
had played a great part in this girls
life, yet with the red blood that flowed
through her veins there was health
great. bounding, Joyous health. Her
face showed the touches Of mountain
winds and of summer suns, and In her
eyes lay shadow; something of the
mystery, perhaps, Of the mountains
themselves.
"The mountains, the mists, and the
moonlightW The girls eyes wandered
from the face Of the man at her side
to the far, dim line of hills; then they
came slowly back again.

pale.

Her hands pressed hard on the rail
in front of her.

that's got to be. I've watched It a
