Dup
Of BR|TON
STARTED
By DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 21.-Promptly
with the arrival of the steamship
Homeric tomorrow morning, they
are going to send the old masonry
In on . build.up that will make
old Barnum reach up and kick
the epitaph off his tombstone.
They are going to take some
thing that looks like a golf tee
and try to run it into a moflu-
ment, the inspiration for this
ambitious project being furnished
by the return Of Philip Scott, the
grunt, gripe and groan man, from
England. While they are doing
it, Philip will collect about
100000.
Something Of the same sort is
done every day, only in a less
pretentiouS manner. You simply
throw a dime out the window
and tell the organ grinder to
move on down the block. It's
worth that to make him stay
away and, by q similar token, a
lot Of people will figure they are
getting by cheaply enough at $40,
If they see Philip Scott licked by
Jack Sharkey at Miami.
Scott is going to be the
first fighter in history to
cash ON the public's belief
that he can't fight. They
think he iS sure to be licked;
all right, they want to be
there to see It done.
This is one Of the factors that
probably will produce q $400, 900
gate when Sharkey and Scott
fight this semi-final Of the heavy.
weight championship on the
twenty-Seventh Of next month.
The other factors may be listed
under one head. known to the
trade as heat" This is the thing
that is blown on the corpse,
causing 1t to expand and take
life. :
The blower-plant at Madison
Square Garden Is not what it
was since Rickard passed on, but
it won't muff the fact that
Sharkey and Scott are the first
American and British heavyweight
champions to meet In q ring
since the Corbett-Mitchell fight,
almost 20 years ago. That always
gets them.
They would go With a rush to
see a British champion who can
fight but that's the only thing
that will intrigue them more
than the supposition that the
British champion can't fight, par.
ticularly British champion who
is far from popular. In a case
like this, the 100 per cent Ameri-
can gorge rises and you give
three cheers for the Red, White
and Blue in q very outstanding
manner.
The fact that the winner of
this fight will go In there for
the championship his next time
out won't be overlooked, either.
They will manage to make this
circumstance vivid with impend-
ing drama and. at that, I'm not
SO certain it won't be.
Anyhow, once these facts
are sufficiently impressed
upon q winter colony that Is
not especially fight-wiSe, it
will make you Questionable
not to be seen ut the ring
side when the gong sounds.
After this happens, you are
lost and 30 Is your $40.
Much, Of course, depends on
the success Of the winter season
in Florida and, to. date, this has
been reported as being better than
expected. in view Of the late un-
pleaSantneSS in Wall Street. #
the winter colony is really there.
1t will 60 to the prize fight. just
for the sake Of killing an idle
evening. The $40 will be only
an incident to people who drop
hundreds at the track and casino
with q negligent sl1rug.

In fact Ritola couldn't snow
any Of his old-time speed and
was unable to overtake two run

second and third.

R|TOLA FAILS
IN COMEBACK

The comeback campaign Of
Willie Ritola, one-time Peerless
Finn, has quite a way to 60 be-
fore Willie steps back into his old
glory, In fact, it would not be
surprising if the Olympic star
never does regain the place he
once occupied in the distance run
ming world.
Taken on his showing Wednes-
day night in the two-mile handi-
cap in New York, Ritola must inn
prove greatly II he is to be any
where near the man who won q
dozen national championships in
this country . few years ago.
RitOIs, starting from

The federal government has is sued q warning on the dangers of obesity remedies.
 Since the boyish form has come into such prominence there have appeared on the market numerous so-called fat reducers.
 Practically all Of these remedies assert themselves harmless and ef- fective, claim to achieve results without diet or exercise. Yet prac- tically all of them are ineffective and some are positively dangerous.
 The bulletin of the federal gov ernment well summarizes the con- dition by stating that no drug or mixture of drugs at the present time known 10 the medical profess sion can be offered for the promis- cuous use Of the public in reducing weight without at the same time introducing d large element of danger
 Most Of the so-called fat reduc- ing preparations contain either thy roid or laxativcs. Thyroid is a po- tent substance which may bring about harmful effects if taken with out proper supervision.
 Cathartics are sometimes sold as fat reducers on the principle that the diarrhea resulting from their use will abstract fluids from the body and thereby produce an appr~- ciable loss Of w",~ht, The use Of such weight reducing methods if carried on for any length Of time aoU'I bring cn very marked weak ress and profound disturbances in 'he body.
 Still another type of fat-reducing nostrums are sold, with instruc- t.ons to the user for a bath with q scap in hot water.
 The perspiration produced by the hot bath and the exercise may cause he user 10 lose a pound or so of fluid. The tendency is for the weight to be regained just as soon as the resulting thirst is appeased
 Weight reduction is not safe ex- ce pt under supervision.
 Diet and exercise are inc only two dependable means known to medicine for the reduction Of weight in normal cases of obesity.

A SCHOOL OF SAFETY By Thornton Burgess

Whoever goes to natures school Finds Safety first" 10 be the rule

 Safety first IS the most important law or life for the little people who wear feathers and fur. It is the first thing to be learned. Nothing else matters until that is learned. There Is no such thing as safety for the needless. the careless or the stupid No, sir. there is no such thing as real safety for these One must be heedfuL careful and smart to live to old age among the little people Of feathers and fur. So. usually the first thing that is taught the furred and featherod babies IS to instantly heed danger signals.
 Over in the Smiling Pool vas T school Of safety. + had TWO teacher and nine pupils. The two teacher, were Jerry Muskrat and Mrs. Musk rat, The pupils were their nine chil- dren. Peter Rabbit happened over there and it was q funny sight that Peter saw. The nine little Muskrats were swimming about where the water was shallow. A little farther out was their mother. Away over lv the Big Rock was Jerry Muskr4t. The instant that Peter appeared on the bank things happened. Slap! went Jerry Muskrats tail on the water and Jerry disappeared. And then there We're nine funny little sIaps on the water, and nine little Muskrats disappeared. IL was SO surprising that Peter didn't know what to make of it. He just sat there and stared.
 Presently, up came Jerry Muskrat right beneath where Peter was sit ting. How do you like that?" he inquired.
 How do I like what?" demanded Peter. looking perplexed.
 The way those children of mine have learned their lessons" replied Jerry.
 What lesson :'' asked Peter, look ing still more perpleXed.

 "Yos," replied Peter.

RULES FOR MOTHER Ry Alice JudSCn Peale

Punishment, 1 am tempted to be- lieve, is the last resort of mothers whose mistakes have found them out. Here are a few rules, which if carried out should fairly obviate the unhappy necessity for punish ment.
 Observe faithfully your child's routine. He then will know once and for all what to expect and need not be forced to make a new adjustment each day,
 While he is little do not allow anyone to bully or tease him. Never snatch anything from his hands, Get him 10 rellnquish an undesirable plaything voluntarily.
 Praise him liberally when he has done as you have asked.
 Be honest with him. Tell the truth always, not only to him but
