New York, Dec 1G.-Snow in the air means tweeds and furs for smart costumes.
 Tweed frocks under fur coats, or three piece tweed ensembles, heavily furred, seem the order along Park avenue as smart women hurried.y take their constitutonals.

Mrs. Thomas Markoe Robin son has a silver fox that uses many. many skins in it and she wraps it's richness about her many times, usu- ally wearing it against a green, black or blue ensemble or coat that sets it off to perfection.
 Fabric Hat Wins Place in the Mode

YOUR HEALTH

 Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygcia, the Health Magazine

The best thing for the mother to do to the baby's ears under ordi- nary circumstances is to let them alone.
 If the child is normal and has not had q cough, cold, or sore throat recently, its ears will probably get along well. The only cleaning neCes- Sary is the wiping of the ear with d small Wisp of cotton. A sharp in strum"nt should never he put into the ear. nor should a toothpick wrapped with cotton be inserted deeply in the ear cavity.
 It is a pretty good rule for the average person never to put any thing smaller than his elbow into either his ear or his eye.

The New York State Athletic

boxing is conducted on a large scale,

Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massa-

No better move could have been
made to stabilize the business of

the most important step yet taken
in the avancement of boxing.

advanced the suggestion, which was

The question then arose: Should
Carey and his associates carry their
goodwill for the New York COM
mission to the point of Quixotism,
and decline TO promote Sharkey-
Schmeling fight in some other state 2
This would inevitably lead to the
bout falling into other hands, for
Sharkey -Schmeling fight in Sep
tember is what the fistic industry
knows as natural
Carey conferred with the New
York State Athletic Commission
Friday and afterwards tactily ad-
mitted that Madison Square Garden,
as Incorporated in some state other
than New York, will Sromote a
heavyweight bout between the Ger
man and the Lithuanian this fall.
Probably the bout will be held in
Detroit. Carey is not giving out his
plans for the moment. The main
things is that he is going to pro
mote the affair outside New York.
Since it obviously is impossible
for supreme high commissioner of
boxing to be agreed upon and ap-
pointed by the interested states be-
fore September, the new Gear
will come as a secondary, but most
important step, following the elec-
tion of new heavyweight title
