Amateur Boxing Bill
Dies as House AdjOurns

Proponents OF amateur boxing IN
the District of Columbia shall have
to bide their time until Congress re-
assemblies in December. When the
body meets local advocates of the
bill feel certain that it will pass,
despite the fact that it will have
to be reiptroduced as a new bill.
When the Seventieth Congress
died yesterday the Watson Updijle
bill legalizing amateur boxing died
with it. This measure had the
unanimous approval OF the Senate
and had been favorably reported out
by the House District Committee.
However. the objection Of Represan-
tative Steagall, Cf Alabama, was
sufficient to halt it's passage by
the House. since unanimous ap-

moments of real embarrassment later

will be well worth while expending
considerable effort on bringing this to

quite conspicuous and is som times
subject to considerable ammo ance
from this fact. If, on the other hand,
either of these (right-handed writing
or eating) should prove difficult of

it should always be a matter of sug-

This is the opinion of the educational

bulletin Of the committee. The bull

be taught to use their right hand and

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. StrauS)

Many persons excuse themselves
from practicing thrift on the plea that
they cannot save anything and main
tain good standard of living. While
it may be true in some cases that
temporary circumstances make it i'm
possible to get ahead in the world,
those instances are exceptional.
The old saying, where there's a
will, there's way" particularly ap-
plicable in the matter of saving
money. Those who do not save or
who think they cannot are not fair
with themselves. They are unwilling
to make certain sacrifices. Their
minds are biased by false pride or
egotism Their viewpoint is incor-
rect.
If they should think the problem
clear through they would determine
to find ways by which they could save
something even though the amounts
be small.
Upon ones ability to find such ways
of saving money, depends very much
of ones chances of success in life.
This is a phase of the matter that
should be given the deepest consider
alton. Also it should be borne in
mind that those who are not suffici-
emily interested in their own well
fare to lay by certain portion of
their earnings for the future do not
care enough about real success ever
to achieve any substantial place in
tha affairs Of men
Before there can be success there
must be desire to succeed. And
this desire must be so deep that it
overcomes every barrier.
Students of economic conditions in
this country tell us that poverty is
steadily being eliminated through the
processes of education. There was
a time within the memory of many
now living when dire poverty existed
in every city if not in every COM
munity. The general standard of liv-
ing has been steadily advancing for
the last fifty years and conditions are
such today that there is hardly per-
son anywhere who is not in a position
to save money if he so chooses.
