VOUR friend Benny is doing ex-
A actly the same thing. The
ring is crying for somebody with
class. There must be quite num-
Der of people who still remember
that Leonard in his prime was a
fascinating figure in action, and
there must be thousands of others
who have heard about this great
legendary fighting man.
It seems wholly sound to believe that
when he swings back into action he will
draw a slzable sum through the turn
stiles.
And YOU can trust to DR.. Jack Kearns
that Benny will have no trouble winning
his first two or three fights. In fact. you
can trust that to Benny himself. do not
mean to impute any unsportsmanlike or
evil motives to either Or. Kearns or to
Benny but something seems to tell me
that the opening fights In this interesting
campaign will 90 along very smoothly and
with only modicum of personal danger.
And there is this to be said for BENNY.
iust as it has been said for Jeffries. he
built up a background. a very rugged and
resolve to capitalize this background now
in moment of financial stringency. and
at the risk Of losing much caste as his
toric picture in pugilism. why not. and
whose business is it?
After all. 1t is Bennv's nose that is 60
ing to be smacked. when the good Doctor
and Benny decide that the gate receipts
are commensurate with the hazards in
fortunate fellow. He admits that once he
was a wealthy man. There are many men
around today who once were wealthy. But
only a scattered few If any. are in a posi-
tion to step into a gymnasium. take on

 Doctor Poinsett also was a member of the South Carolina legislature, congressman from that state for four years, and was secretary of war in President Van Buren's cabinet from 1887 to 1S41.
 Probably one of the worlds greatest outdoor displays of the poinsettia is that maintained by the city of San Diego in Balboa park, site of the 1915 exposition. The planting occupies an area approximating two acres, and as some of the stalks reach a height of fourteen feet and a diameter of more than three inches a foot above the ground, the garden impresses one as young forest of green with a brilliant leo top. Full effect is attained about December 10 and continues several weeks.

 Van Dusen had tobogganed in Swift xeriand, and ridden surf-boards in Hawaii, and climbed a few Alps in Italy, but it is safe to say that he had never suffered a keener moment of fear than he experienced in this far away village of Newfoundland aiding down hill with fourteen vil- lage children.
 Van Dusen was keen, but Sandy Galt was keener. He, too, saw the danger ahead. Somebody had to be squeezed. You couldn't stop the sleds now they were going too fast.
 Look out" yelled Ransome, trying to take the inside near the sharp, rocky turn.
 Look out yourselfI" shrieked Andy, and kicked out with foot, spilling the man sideways from his sled. Andy himself sYeryed to the inside. Two more boys crowded close. Three sleds came together with crash Ransome on top without his sled.
 That evening he sat by Sandy's bed and told him stories, so that the boy partly forgot the pain in his broken leg. It was Christmas eve and Ran some said he was never happier in his life. i've never had better friend than you. Sandy" he said. You're some fine little sport.

Golf Course Is
Urged By City
Plan Expert

K. A. Wood, city planning expert
of Dallas. recommends a municipal
golf course for Brownsville in the
plan he has submitted TO city Of
ficials.
His recommendation in part
read:
Every city should have at least
one municipal golf curse Of is
holes, because golf has become a
major recreational activity. II Is
also an activity nat pays its own
way, SO there is little excuse for a
city TO offer in not furnishing this
type OF recreation.
THE TT. Wayne, Ind. annual re-
port OF the park commissioners for
1880 has this TO say with respect
20 the municipal golf course. Our
municipal course was thrown open
To the public April III and was
closed Nov. "A. The total receipts
were $20.ll8.80 and the disburse-
ments s11, 632.53 showing a net
profit for this year Of $8.48627, or
N-construction OF the field
The same report also says, The
playing Of golf increases III popular
fty with men and women Of all
ages and Is rapidly extending 10
our BOYS and girls az high school
age. Some congestion Of players
already occurs on one az our NUM-
cipal courses upon Saturdays, Sun
DAYS and holidays. and a second
course, preferably III FRANKIE Park,
would be an exceedingly desirable
Improvement
Brownsville Is particularly in
need OF a municipal course. not only
to serve its own population. but also
To serve the large tourist traffic
that now visits Brownsville. With
its large percentage OF sunshiny
DAYS. a municipal golf course and
a swimming pool would quickly
become revenue producers for the
city and enable 1t TO provide addi-
tional facilities.
s'The site suggested for the NUM-
ciual golf course lies southwest Of
the city and the Missouri Pacific
railroad tracks and northwest az
the Rio Grande river. 1t Is adj
mirably suited for this purpose in
that It IS farm land at this time:
II overlooks Old Mexico and Is
within easy walking distance q the
hotels and the business section Of
the city"
