The tables were beautified with candles and flowers as we'll as a tempting display of food. All looked most in- viting. A social hour followed the sup per during which the youngsters had a good time fitting out the tailless, eyeless pig and having their fortunes todd by the old witch. Mrs. Myrtle Miller read a pleasing selection and Rev. Mr. Baker told many amusing anecdotes. The sale of the few left overs was made highly entertaining by the assistance of Mir. Baker. Food was bartered and retailed and even the witch's hat. which was put up and then passed, netted an extra sum. The total proceeds were S44.00. It is hoped that this is but a beginning and that more will follow.

In the days when the Kaiser

was very much taboo. The ruler of
the Empire d-dn t like the sport
considered 1t rough stuff and all
that--and boxing was barred.
But when the Kaiser was chased
off his throne and Germany became
Republic, the ban was lifted
Those who wanted to fool around
with the gloves were privileged %
do so. In those early days there
wasn't much boxing done for the
reason that teachers were few and
the ath!etically inclined boys didn't
go in very streng for battling with
fists.
But about the time | toured Ger
many, four years ago, it was notice
able that the German lads. having
imported a few teachers. were going
In for boxing in d bigger way. But
it wasn't because they had an idea
Of commercializine their prowess.
Rather, they took to boxing because
of the fun and the exercise they got
out of it.

"If half what has been said or
