that Mickey Walker, the weller king,
does not take any too seriously the
flock Of 14T-pound challengers who
have been INDUCING in elimination
bouts in the hope Of getting a whaek

That's what Mickey wants to be
middleweight champion as well as wei.

The Jersey IrishmGn confidently ex-
pected to be middleweight champion
that night last June when he boxed
Harry Greb at the Polo Grounds. But
Greb happened to have a good evening
and Mickey lost. Now that Greb has
been pitched off his pedestal By Tiger
Flowers, Walker is just crazy to get
at that Georgia southpaw.

Manager Jack Kearns is just as
keen for the Flowers match as is
Walker. They know that Flowers
whips all the fighters that can't hit
hard. and know that Mickey's great

colored fighter. They know that the

FIGHT BUS line.
EXTENSION

Extension Of the Burleith bus
line from its present terminus at
Tenth and E SITS. N. W., to Florida
and Trinidad AYES. N. E., via
Union Station, was opposed in a
public hearing before the Utilities
Commission today by John H.
Hanna, president Of the Capital
Traction Company.
Mr.. Hanna said that the ex-
tension Of the line would result
in direct competition with the lines
of his company. The Capital Trac.
ton Company is already hanoi.
capped by bus competition, he told
the commission.
The proposed extension was back
ed by Robert M. Ringer president
of the Burleith Citizens Associa-
ton, on the grounds that Burleith
citizens get a shorter ride for their
money than the patrons Of any
other bus line in the city.
Supported BY EIdridge
A proposed regulation to force in
terstate bus lines entering the con.
gested section to erect terminal
facilities on private property to
take on and discharge passengers
was supported by Traffic Director
M. o. Eldridge.
Mr.. Eldridge pointed out that
most cities have bus facilities and
that the establishment of bus
terminal would help to relieve the
traffic situation.
Objection to such regulation was
made by the Washington, Bar.
croft and Alexandra line on the
ground that such q regulation would
not come within the jurisdiction Of

an application from the Washing

You know that Engands aristocracy, the peerage,
not completely dying out when you this girl Lady
Lettce Lyon described zone of the taest and love-
hest girls in society," and learn there six children in
the family.
We present this picture to readers Of the San Antonio
Light for various reasons
First to remind you that tall girl should be PROUD
of her height Too many tall girls stoop over imagining
that the correct thing is to be petite.
The best thing is TO BE TALL GIRL lovely and
GOOD. The next best thing is to be SHORT GIRL also
lovely and GOOD.
Tall girls, developing into strong women, make won
derfuy good mothers They built for the serious bust
ness of womanhood which is MOTHERHOOD.
Lincoln and Charlemagne had very tall mothers.
Nancy Hanks six feet tall, nearly So Bertha
mother of Charlemagne And she had big feet. Villon

Short women good mothers if they don't starve
to get thin and cut down vitality. Letitia Ramoino
Napoeon's mother, very short, he But she
had broad hips. That made up VOLUME counts, in
mothers in business.
Can you imagine the sensation and the admiration
that this tall and lovely girl Lady Lettice Lyon, would
create in collection of skinny bobbed haired fappers?
This is a of grace beauty, height and earnest
And such are the women that count in this world.
Leaving out the HEIGHT makes differences But
the EARNESTNESS is absolutely essential

Spotted Fever Menaces Children
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.

II We could have a wish granted |
have no doubt everybody would think
Of the children. What could we ask
for them?
The greatest boon tina: could be had
for the kiddies would be to guarantee
that they should never have infectious
disease. II all contasion could be de-
stroyed what a blessing it would be
Among the terrible diseases 10 be
wiped out would be what the doctors
call "ccrebrosDiDal meningitis "epi-
denic meninHGs,' or spotted fever"
We are never free from it. But
every spring gives US word Of an in
crease in the disease. March, April
and early May are the worst months.
Like other infectious or catching"
diseases it oppcars to travel fast in
crowded tenemcnts. Detached homes
with lots Of fresh air and sunlight
seem safer.
This aiIment is not like measles or
srarIet fever in its contagiousncss. 1t
does not spread anywhere near as rap
idly. But there is m doubt that il Is
due 70 a particular infection and must
be numbered among the germ dis
cases.
Intense headache, vomiting, fever,
great weakness, Inconsistencies and
death. These may be the symptoms,
compressed within a few hours.
Happily this ligbtning-like form ia
not the usual one. A more common
history is 70 have headache, vomiting.
delirium, commissions, chills and fever,
stiffness Of the muscles and bending
backward Of the body. The skin is apt
10 be spotted with red bIotches. Grad
uaily the symptoms sub.ide and recov-
cry proceeds.
The sudden attack is Characteristic
of the diseases. The skin eruption,
like mosquito bites, is a pretty sure
sign. The arms, legs and upper part
Of The chest are usually involved.
The disease lasts for a week or ten
days in some Gases, bur usually for
a month Or six weeks. II takes many
months FOR full recovery.
Deafness is common effect Of

Radio On Farms

"HE farmers of the nation are not to remain be-
hindhand in avaing themselves of the pleasures
and benefits of radio according to a recent bulle
tin of the department of commerce. This shows that
in 1925, when the decennal farm census was taken
2s4053 farms equipped with radio sets whereas in
1923 only 10000 were utilizing the new discovery.
There are 6,371,617 farms within the national boun-
dares and the figures show that last year as per cent
enjoyed the benefits of radio The number is greater
today
1t is reported by county agents that many of the
farmers install the sets primarily receive weather and
market reports but nevertheless the presence of the
ceivers makes available to all members of the family
the various programs of culture and entertainment
which are being broadcast.
With the daily rural delivery and the radio, with
tractors and electric lights to say nothing of the ubi-
quitous automobile, the lot of the rural dweer is
approximating more and more each year that of the
urbante The present trend from country to city should
in few years be entirely halted result The latest
report shows 1925 fewer farms in the United States
in 1925 than in 1920.

KreiSler On Marriage

tn RITZ KRElSLER sailed for Europe the other day

- love and art.

and intends to stay Manufacturing doubts at all
that his marriage permanent He says too many mar
RED people waste emotions on others than their mates
They get divorces because they want Happiness" and
think they will find it in another wife or husband "But
they do not find it, says Kreisler for the reason that
they have no happiness in themselves"
Why Is anything Fritz Kreisler says on that sub
ject important? Because he happens TO be an ndi-
vidual who might have been very badly spoiled, since
childhood, but has not been so spoiled He is great
artist but he is much more than that He gives every
indication, constantly Of being an intelligent fine
hearted human being, who doesn't trade on his popu-
srity excuse for eccentric behavior The world
would forgive him much but has not been asked to
do so.
