THE BOYI.NG.GANE

Under the supervision of the California Athletic
Commission, FL Centros boxing club has been in
operation almost year and half.
Contrary to the expectations of some who opposed
the introduction of boxing into this city, there have
been riots and little, if any, disorder to mark local
exhibitions of the manly art with black eye.
On the other hand the boxing bouts have furnished
siderable entertainment TO large number of men, and
small number of women And it might be noted
that the women attending the boxing exhibitions in
clude some of the best women in the city.
1t is very doubtful if the promoters of the local
club, among them dozen of the best known citizens
of this community, have made any great amount OF
money at the boxing game. If they have broken even
they have been doing better than some clubs in more
densely populated OF the state.
The condition of boxing throughout the state has
been greatly improved since it placed under the
jurisdiction of state commission and it is no longer
controlled by an undesirable element.
One cannot comment the boxing game without
paying tribute to the real sportsmanship qualities
exhibited by the boxers who have participated in bouts
here In close touch with the boxing bouts since they
started here the writer knows of only one in
stance where fighter carried grudge against his op
ponent after fight In every other case the boxers
have accepted the breaks of the game as they come
often going out of their way give chance to an op
ponent who has happened to get into bad spot.
The same thing cannot be said of all the specta-
tors, of whom show lamentabe lack Of good
spOrtSmanShip and fair play because of some boxers

in the minority the majority of Ell Cenros fans" be-

the other day when he told them that they ought
20 invent fewer things, he probably surprised a lot Of
other people, too. There is commonly accepted be-
lief that continual improvement of our mechanical de-
vices is good. But is it?
Mr.. Baker considers the frequent adoption Of
slight mechanical improvements Of the greatest
economic wastes of the present day. It throws into
the discard many articles which have not fulfilled
their useful possibilities thus wasting raw materials
and money well as human energy
All of this is easier to understand When specific
examples cited. Ii reported few years ago
that Luther Burbank had evolved great many plant
improvements which had not yet been made public
Haste in putting them to general use would have up
set and dangerously disturbed many legitimate inter.
ests. In proper time they may be made public to the
benefit OF everybody concerned.
Some companies, such telephone corporations
have filed away hundreds OF MINOR mprO OYcnonts.
They are not withheld in order to retard deve-
opment but because it seems wise policy All of them
will be used when the companies ready to change
the whole design of their equipment 10 put these
minor improvements in operation one at time would
mean wastefully junkng other equipment and mater
ias still good for much service.

going forward only fast is compatible with thrift,

1t is four years ago this summer that the Press
first agated some sort of provision for the East Side

pleasures of life on hot summer days when most of

The council at that time favored the idea and an
effort made to provide playground but it fell
through Later appropriation to purchase land, or
to equip playground, provided for in the city
budget but inability to get the land desired held
the matter
AS taxpayers and residents of the city, those living
the East Side entitled to the expenditure by the
city of sufficient funds to make real community CEN
ter.
East Side yOugsters, forced TO remain in the city
through the summer will get measure of relief
from the heat by being able splash around in wad-

No question but what the East Side people will
appreciate their playground, and they be depend

munty spirit existing in that section that compares
least favoraby, with that in vogue this side of the
railroad. Occasionally forced to wonder if it is
not stronger.

it will direct its attention to better lights and

ALL ABOUT NELLIE MAXWELL

Nellie Maxwell likes to cook,

From celery soup to cake.

From celery soup to cake is "a
long jump in any volume devoted to
the culinary art, but Nellie Max
well knows every page of thn way.
Being a regular girl, she found a
great interest in the always-busy
kitchen of her childhood home in a
small Wisconsin town. And her
mother, being regular mother,
gave Nellie every opportunity to
try her hand and perfect her skill
in the art of cookery.
That her schooling was thorough
and well1directed is shown by the
record she has made. For the last
eleven years she has given lectures
and demonstrations for the Un:ver-
sity of Wisconsin at the many
farmers Institutes held in that
state. Prior TO this she taught

LEGION NOTES.
><<>><>< ~><><><><<

Minnesota takes rank with a few
other select states in the oversub-
scription of the Endowment Fund.
Minnesota raised it's quota of $780,
600 and went about $500 over the
top. The campaign for $5,000,O01
began in April 1925. Fifteen states
have raised their quotas and Minnt
sofia is one of the first to go over.
The smaller towns deserve more
credit than the larger ones for
putting the fund over. Ely raised
it's quota in one day. Legion and
Auxiliary members assisted by a
citizens committee making an in
tensive house to house campaign.
The Minnesota Legion Auxiliary
still leads the whole United States
in 1926 membership, with $4,000 in
good standing. Pennsylvania comes
next. The mothers, wives, siste 5
and daughters of Legionaires or of
deceased world war veterans, are
eligible. Countless kindly deeds are
done by the organization.
