Ik pafned Mr.. GIBSON GxCSGuGM&ky
to learn that Ad Stone had hurled
challenge at Michael McTigue.
worlds light heavyweight clian,'
pion. This challenge may Be re-
corded at the boxing commission
this week and McTigue win not
mind it; he isn't going to fight
those boys to q decision any time
or any place. But Tunney viii ne
cha grfned because he considers NJ
has the foremost challenging rights
to McTigue.
The coninjssion'a attitude, how
ever, has changed since McTigus
was ordered to box Tunney Il he
cared to follow his profession IN
New York.
The commission Ii under the
in1nressiOn that Tunney has not
hen active IN defense of HIS
tltle and may decide to ask Gene
"a explain why he has removed
himself from the zone Of decision
bouts for such a long period. Few
OF Tunney'S chaIlengers can al
ford 20 60 to Miami or Pam
Beach to hurl . personal defi g
Gene.
It IL even possible that Stone VIII
be suggested by the commission g
q candidate for Tunney. The for-
n1er marine has gone to work again
after u long vacation. We are OF
the impression that Stone cannot
make IFS pounds now without
weakening himself. Neither can
Tom Gibbons, who was willing TO
box TunnAy or McTigue this win
ter. but Ii now blinded by the
Dempsey eclipse.
Gibbons, after making the wetgnS
for Kid Norfolk last December, :;aio
he would never attempt 1t again
except for the chance to win me
titles of McTigue and Tunney.
Frank Flournoy, Garden match
maker, Ia prepared to make GID.
son an interesting proposition Il
Tunney is In fighting shape or can
be after q week Of training.
The February 26 date at the
Garden Is still open, with Jack De
laney holding one OF the headline
ASSIGNMENTS. Delaney was offered
to Tunney, who declined Tiger
Flowers IL not coming back to fight
Delaney for nothing though some
thing was said about some such
matter after Flowers wilted before
Delaney's whitening punch a Few
weeks ago.
Yesterday Mr.. FIOurnOy was at
tempting to get In touch with
Young Stribling, who is about TO
hit the Oregon trail in q motor
driven covered wagon, stopping at
various places on the journey TO
fight with the local Indians while
Pa StribIing collects the wan1-
pun.
The elder Stribling was finally
located on a train that was afloat
somewhere near Savannah. If not
unduIy delayed by the Georgia
floods, Pa Stribling will be here to-
morrow.
Young Stribling was to have
boxed Warnie Smith In Milwaukee
this week or next and may possibly
be able to switch into New York
IL he considers Delaney a safe and
sound investment. Smith cannot
go through with Stribling. The
Oklahoma cowboy had his jawbone
cracked in two places last Friday
night and his face is all wired up
like a radio set.
This accident was the fault Of
Larry Estridge. 1t seems that
Larry copied the cowboys pony
and was tearing around the Madi.
son Square Garden ring when
Smith took up a hot pursuit. One
of the pony's hoofs or something
denied Warnie's jaw and Larry
made clean getaway.

Safe Fat Reduction

Why be fat? The answer of most
rat people is that constant dieting In
hard, continual exercise is tiresome and
exha~ustive-and then. too, 1t might be
harmful to force the weight down. That
was the old fashioned Idea. Today in
Marmolq Prescription Tablets all these
difficulties are overcome. Just a pleas
ant little tablet after each meal and at
bedtime causes fat to vanish. This
modern method is easy, entails no diet
Ing or exercising and has the added
advantage OF cheapness.
Get q box of these tablets and start
taking them now, Within a short time
You will be getting rid Of fat steadily
and easily without starvation diet or
tiresome exercise. You will be COM
Portable and able to enjoy the food you
like and want. Even after taking off
many pounds, there win be no flabbi-
ness or wrinkles remaining. You will
feel 100 per cent better. All drug stores
the world over sell Marmola Prescrip-
tion Tablets at one dollar for a box,
or the Marmola Company General Mo-
tors Building, Detroit, Mich, will glad
ly send them to you on receipt of the

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO MRS. MARY
ALDEN PRESCOTT,

CONTINUED.
Please do not think mother, that
l object to any friendship that you
might make. but l want to. if pos
sible, insure you from some man
who might only be a fortune-hunter
and who would expect that he might
settle himself i'm a life of luxury If
he married you and then make you
miserable.
Perhaps / arm saying things that
l should not. Perhaps you have no
intention of making this man any
thing more than a friend. and no
n knows better than 1 how hard
1t Is for a woman OF your Age TO
find q man who might be a friend
without boring her.
/ have never known a man of
your age who was not selfsh-even
more selfish than the average
young man. And you have been
independent for so long that 1 am
afraid for you.
My friend seems to think that you
are quite suited 10 each other. Con-
s%equently, If you do not give him
the impression that YOU are a rich
woman l can not but think that a
friendship between you two might
prove very happy for all concerned.
/ am smiling, mother dear. as 1
write this. / never thought that 7
would have to do anything of the
kind. and I hope you will take It
exactly as 1 have written it.
In a note I'm which Miss Anderson
enclosed the months bills. she said
YOU were well and looking better
than she had ever seen you. This
made me think that you are quite
happy.
Leslie and the boys Are very we'll,
indeed. She has been packing up
the apartment and we expect to
leave for Pittsburgh the last Of next
week. She has gone bugs on the
subject of Early American a%ntiqui-
ties, and IN this I am sure you
would be much in sympathy for I
have never known a family that
had as many beautiful pieces of old
mahogany and other heirlooms as
ours.
The other day Leslie informed me
that she had had the paper taken
from the walls of an old house and
was going to have It put on the
walls of u dining DOR I had no
idea that such a thing could be
done, but we must live and learn,
for she explained that this was done
very frequently nowadays.
Miss Anderson seems to think
that you are well enough to do
without her companionship. I want
you to keep her as long as you
wish her, and rs long as she will
stay.
I wish you could see your new
grandchild and Leslie, and I extend
to you a most cordial invitation to
come and see us for at least a month
as soon as we arrive in Pittsburg.
I think you Will enjoy yourself
with Leslie more than you eve did
before. as your tastes for old furni-
ture. I know will prove of mex.
haustible interest.
Affectionately your son.
