Facts on Sullivan

John L. Sullivan was born in
Boston october Is, 1858. He
died in Arlington, Mass, Feb
ruary 2, 1918. He stood 5
feet 1912 inches. In his prime
he weighed 1876 pounds. The
flower and youth of American
manhood was in France at the
hour of Sullivan's death, and
the newspapers carrying the
report of his demise were from
two to three weeks getting to
the boys in their muddy
trenches or in their barn billets.
Sullivan started fighting in
1878. His last battle was an
exhibition match with Tom
Sharkey, in Coney Island,
August 81, 1896. He also fought
Sharkey an exhibition on the
Pacific Coast, so Sharkey once
told us.
Sullivan won the London
prize ring championship with
bare knuckles) from Paddy
Ryan, February Z, 1882, in Mis-
sissippi, in nine rounds. John
L. was never defeated in a
bare knuckle fight afterward
and carried that title to his
grave. (Corbett and he wore
gloves when James j. lifted the
title.)
The Boston Strong Mans
last fight in defense of the bare
knuckle title, commonly called
the London prize ring title, was
probably one of his most ia
nous battles. 1t was against
Jake Kilrain July 8, 1889, in
Richburg. Miss, Sullivan win
ming in IS rounds.

OKLAHOMA CHILDREN
HONOR POCAHONTAS
OF STATE LEGEND
lBy Associated Pressl

MUSKOGEE, Okla, June %,
Moved by the story of an Okla.
homa Pocahontas, Muskogee chill,
dren are saving their pennies to
erect granite marker to hel
memory.
Grant Foreman, historian who
discovered the history of Milly
Frances Hadjo, a Creek Indian
maiden, told it to the children at
the local public library, and fol
several weeks they would listen
to no other story-hour narrative.
The proposal for Milly's COM
memoration was largely the de-
velopment of the children's own
desires, Mrs. Dorothy Coachman,
librarian, said.
In 1917 Capt. Duncan McKrim-
mon, an American officer, was
captured by a band of Greek
braves and, according to tribal
custom, was to be killed. Milly
appealed to her father, the chief,
to save his life, but was told his
fate was in the hands of the
braves who captured him.
Thereupon the girl declared
they could not kill him without
taking her life first, and he was
spared.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, June
22.-Florida is expected to vote
on repeal of the 18th or prohibit
ton amendment to the federal
constitution about next Novem-
Der.
Congress specified that the
state should ratify or reject the
proposed 21st amendment which
would repeal the 18th amendment
by state conventions. The 1888
legislature set up machinery for
holding this convention-the first
of it's kind in the history of the
state-and a special election to
name delegates to the gathering.
Under terms of the legislative
act, known as house bill No. S,
the governor is required to call
the special election not less than
five months and not more than
ten months after the question
was submitted to the state by the
national congress. This would
mean the election is to be called
sometime between July 20 and
December 20 of this year.
When the bill was before the
Legislature its sponsors said it was
the intention that the special cleo
ton should be held about Novem-
berthe usual month for state
elections-and Governor Dave
Sholtz is understood to have
agreed. He has taken no steps
to call the election so far.
Sixty-seven delegates will be
elected to the convention from
the state at large. Candidates
for delegate positions must file

ton of dressings wet with solu-
ton of EPSON salts, as strong as
can be made with cold water;
keep dressings wet. If at. all
severe, consult a physician.
Insects-Flowers of sulphur ap-
piled to the skin helps to prevent
chigger bites. Mosquitoes may be
kept away for couple of hours
by rubbing a few drops of oil of
lavender over the exposed sur
|faces-but this does not take the
llplace of adequate screening or
netting. The itching can be re-
lieved by applying calamine lotion
several times daily. Inflammation
from other insect bites carr be re-
lieved by applying congresses wet
with cold EPSON salts or baking
soda solutions.
First Aid Kit-Keep stocked
and conveniently at hand in fish
ing kit, automobile or kitchen.
Cuts and abrasions are among the
aommonests of vacations accidents.
Small wounds should be given
prompt attention. Apply half
strength tincture of iodine to
wounds, allow to dry, and apply
q sterile dressing.
Driving-Have a thorough me-
chanical inspection of the car
made before starting on the trip.
Drive carefully and give heed to
speed limits and official road
signs.
Remember that a regard for
the safety and welfare of self
and others is the first rule of
good sportsmanship.

ROTARY Is GROWING in SPITE
OF WORLDS ECONOMIC CRISIS

BOSTON, June e2.-An en-
eouraging report Of the growth
of Rotary in the face of adverse
economic conditions will be shown
when the officers report to the
oath annual convention of Rotary
International here June $3.50.
The gain in the number of new
Rotary clubs elected to member
ship in the past twelve months is
approximately fife per cent
greater than the previous similar
period. The number of Rotarians

small net gain over the figures
of last July 1.

graphical regions in which there
are Rotary clubs will be in
creased by three, in the official

this year in Riga, Latvia, in Tan
gier, Morocco international
Zone) and in Sofia, Bulgaria.
There have been almost a hun
dfed new Rotary clubs elected
this year, about one-third Of them
in Europe where the number of
new clubs this year is double that
Of last year.
These figures and the first
hand reports which have been
gathered by President Clinton p.
Anderson, of Albuquerque, New
Mexico, in his visits with almost
one fourth of the entire Rotary
membership, confirm the optimis-
tic view of Rotary officials.

SUGGESTIONS FOR SAFE AND
SANE OUTINGS GIVEN BY

Especial to The cttizen)

NSVCCAuA ~ hG SANAACAAJ
WASHINGTON, D. c., June %.
Safe and sane vacations are
urged by the First Aid and Life
Saving Service of the American
Red Gross, which offers the fol-
lowing suggestions:
acknowledgements. Acquire
tan gradually. Avoid midday
rays. Graduate the period of ex-
posture a few minutes each day
until skin is toughened and tan
ned. Until such time make a
practice of wearing a shirt, bath
robe or other covering at beach
except when actually in water.
Calamine lotion gives consider
able relief and may be safely APP
piled to the skin several times a
day. Especially avoid burn up
on a burn.
Swimming Know your swim
ming place. Explore thoroughly
for hidden rocks, holes and glass
but not with your bare feet.
Never swim alone-swimming in
twos is more fun and far safer.
Never dive in less than six feet
of water, and make allowance for
changes in tidewater depths. AL
ways wait at least two hours after
eating before entering the water.
!. Drinking Water Take no
chances. If in the least doubt as
to purity. boil. In some states,
health department signs posted at
springs and other sources indicate
whether the water is fit or unfit
for human consumption.
Food-Food poisoning is of
frequent occurrence in the warm
months, due to the rapidity with
which food spoils. Prepare small
amounts at a time. Chicken, fish
and potatoes are particularly
likely to make one i'll, if not
properly refrigerated. Protect
from possible contamination. Do
not eat excessively or when over
heated.
Fire-Always bury or quench
the embers before retiring or
leaving the camp site.
Poison Ivy-Learn to recog-
nize this plant, and then care
fully avoid it. Ivy, oak and sumac
poisoning are caused by an ir-
ritating oil present on the leaves.
Poisoning results readily from
contact with smoke from the
burning leaves. The skin should
be washed Immediately and thor
oughly with warm water and
soap. If poisoning occurs any
way. apply calanine lotion, or a
solution of ferric chloride. Anoth-
