one inns a heaVy deposit, q
deep vein of human nature at
the ringside. AS the pork and
beaners killed time until the
main event at the Ross Nc
Larnin fight, there was time to
observe and mediate. It is
pretty nearly the same old
crowd. Fight fans have been
the same from the beginning,
and probably always will be.
Old Doc Freud would chase a
lot of these lads with a butter
fly net-meek, mild men being
red-blooded and yelling for MUIR
der; exhibitionists getting a
psychic kick out of being spot
ted up in the limelight with the
celebrities, the simple Neander-
thai truck driver vicariously
cracking skulls: the big mob
getting steamed up with that
mysterious auto-intoxication of
crowds.
These fights stir up old
memories. There was Jack
Sharkey, after he had won the
championship. He went to
Tait's restaurant in San Fran
cisco and ordered a lobster.
When it was served, a claw was
missing. Sharkey asked the
waiter about it.
There were two of them
shipped here in a crate" the
waiter explained. "They got
in a fight and one ripped the
others claw Off"
Take it back and bring me
the winner" reared Sharkey.
Roosevelt looks and acts a
winner, and the crowd likes
him. So did T. r. and he was
a fight Bring me the
winner" But here's a prize
fight. There's Mayor LaGuar.
Ola. He's red-hot fight
fan, as was Jimmy Walker.
Jimmy was a better Snowman,
though, arriving late, throwing
back a crimson-lined overcoat,
bowling to the crowd. There is
the usual roster of celebrities
politicians, bankers, office
holders, actors, financiers.
Oddly enough, AL Smith never
Is seen at the ringside. He
was brought up in Oliver Street,
where wallops grew like daisies
in a meadow.
Prizefight managers haven't
changed any with the years.
Here is a business which up

1Qere was William BRADY,
who had a turn managing Jim
Jeffries and Bob FitzsimmonS.
He was soon back in the the
atrical business. And Sam H.
Harris, making a round trip in
and out of the game with
Terry McGovern. The most
successful managers have been
recruited from the unSpolled,
indigenous fan.
Up until a few years ago, one
saw illustriouS racketeerS at the
prizefights, sometimes on terms
of intimacy with the police. The
Legs Diamond. mob, and Legs,
himself, were fight enthusiasts.
They made a great splash Of
color at the ringside, a bright
chiaroscuro of horse-blanket
suits, ruddy neckties and dia"
monds.
The ace.in-the-hole element
here is quite a drab lot in COM
parison. They are dressed with
taste and reserve. Some of them
look like college boys. Viewing
the fight with friend who gets
about more than 1 do, I asked
him about this.
1.-THE boys found it wasn't
good business to splash around
in loud Clothes" he said, LAS
the rackets got organized on
business basis, this individual
display of vanity became trou-
blesome. Their business suf-
fered from this blatant identifi-
cation. They learned to dress
and work quietly. That mild
little chap over there in the
blue serge suit could write his
check for $4,000"
Showed right up close to the
ring is the theatrical crowd-as
usual. The profession always
seems to get the highest priced
seats. Perhaps it is good bust
ness. There is whispering and
furtive pointing as stage stars
are identified. One recalls that
old Jack Sharkey is now dish
ing beer behind his bar in BoS-
ton. That was the ticket for
fighters emeritus in those days
not so much now, although
some of them run cafes-like
Jack Johnson.
One wonders where this crowd
will go after the fight. Remem-
Der the mobs that used to pile
into Kid McCoy's Shelby cafe
after a big fight? Or the Hotel
Metropole or Jim Corbett's place
or Paddy Mullins dump in the
Bowery? The fight business was
nurtured and managed in and
around saloons in those luSty
brawling days. Will it be the
same again now that we have
repeal? Possibly not. Those
chromium plated, coeducational
bars don't seem to be quite in
the spirit of the thing.
But, of course, there will be
plenty of other sheltered hatch
cries for all the deals, devices,
and Strategems of the ancient
combat du boxe. That un-
changed and intensely human
fight crowd will guarantee that.

That's woman's normal nature.

"Who act like that
"Are wild or man crazy.
"Nice, normal women
Like to stay settled"
And so
Men are bewildered
About women-lately.
But nothing
Has come c er women,
Or happened to them.
Women are just acting
The way they always
Wanted to act
And noW's their chance.
Women never were

Men thought they we're
Women always have been
The restless sex!
That doesn't mean they're bad'
Or unreliable,
Any more than it means
That men are bad or unreliable
Just because they'd rather
Go down to the office
Than stay home
And shell peas.
It just means that women
Are naturally
AS restless as men.
Women always did
Want to be on the go.
That's how they lived
When the race started
Out on the trail
Following the hunters
And the warriors;
Carrying babies and baskets
And camp gear
Working in squads
Making homes and moving them
To new places
Every little while.
That was the way
The first women lived.
That is the way
Women like to live.
Then men left the trails
Collected in cities;
Made homes
And somebody had to
Keep those homes.
So men decided
Home Was Woman'S Sphere
But they never
Took a straw vote
From the ladies!

Safer Ships

Thew Can Be Made Fireproof, If Not Foolproof
Under the leadership of President Roosevelt Congress
faces the imperative duty at its next session OF enacng
further measures for safety at sea.
Such measures should have been enacted long ago.
After the Vestris disaster "Safety of Life at Sea
Act was drawn up by experts of all leading nations,
including American experts.
It was adopted by fifteen of these nations, but NOT
bv the United States And it has not been yet adopted
by the United States.
This act even if in force, might not have entirely
avered the Moro Castle disaster No law cope with
human ncapacty But doubtless would have reduced
the appalling loss of life in that ifated ship and
tainly would have given the passengers and of all
ships wider margin of safety than they possess under
the present regulations.
Much to be said also for President Roosevelts su
gesion that passenger liners in future should be of vr
tually all-steel construction.
AS Mr. Roosevelt points OUT recent progress in the
of light alloys for interior fnshings and furniture and
the development of reresisant fabrics would make
possible to build almost completely freproof ship
And, he adds, American lines might we'll capture
large share of passenger traffic with such vessels since
most people would prefer SAFE to lavishly decorated
but UNSAFE floating hotels.

lawmakers out of their lethargy.
Perhaps the lawmakers will now wake up.

Needless Complication
The City's Budget

Inc lily DuuSeC
The District Commissioners are at distinct dsad-
vantage in attempting to prepare with the aid OF our
citizens satisfactory budget for the fiscal year 1886
The disadvantage arises from the fact that regardless
of the expert and authoritative estimate of local revenue
for that year by the cys veteran auditor Major Daniel
j. Donovan it is impossible to forete how the Federal
Government will view its obligation to participate IN the
maintenance and development of the National Capital
IN RECENT YEARS THE CONGRESS HAS VIEWED
THIS OBLIGATION THROUGH THE DIMINISHING
END OF THE FISCAL TELESCOPE. 1T HAS PER
SISTENTLY SLICED MILLIONS OFF THE AMOUNT
WHICH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PAYS.
Every step that it has taken in this direction has re-
suited in throwing disproportonate burden upon the
residents of the District.
In addition to thus making local residents bear part
of the burden which should in equity be shoulderd by
the Nation as whole the Congress has upset all efforts
to have enacted appropriation bill which could deal
effectively and realistically with the city needs
Experience shows that the District Commissioners and
the Bureau of the Budget in past years have prepared
budget estimates based upon the expectation of certain
funds from the Federal Treasury. When these funds
have been denied by Congress Gas they have on almost
everv occason) it has been impossible for the local au
thorties to obtain scientific revision Of the local budget
based upon the reduction in total income
Theoretically the Federal contribution to the expenses
Of the citv for the current fiscal year is $50000O Ac
+uav it is more than million dollars below this figure
because Congress insisted upon deductng from the base
figure payment for debt which the District could not
have incurred.
Regardless of the repayment of the unncurred debt
during the current fiscal year. however, it is being as
sumed by the District Commissioners that the Federal
contribution will stand at $57O0OoO during the coming
fiscal year.
The Federal contribution has been changing so rapidly
and always decreasing that to that will remain
fixed in the next appropriation bill calls for considerable
optimism.
A CONGRESSMAN ARISING WITH HEADACHE

UP FOR CONSIDERATION MAY ALTER THE EN-
TIRE SITUATION, FURTHER CUTTING THE FED
ERAL GOVERNMENTS SHARE. A SENATOR MAY

In view of the possibility nay the probability OF last
minute upset in the Federal SHARE the task which our
citizens and our local officials undertaking be-
comes douby difficult.
It is necessary to forecast expenditures without being
able to forecast income.
THE DISTRICT WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO HAVE

POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE IN ADVANCE AND

Women ALWAYS knew
That talk was all "baloney"!
Women ALWAYS knew
They liked best
To be Gypsies-
And were always mad as hops
Because the men
Spoiled their chance!
I'm fifty-one
And, in all my life,
I haven't known
A dozen women
Who really preferred
Staying home.
Most of them
Wanted to marry
And have husbands
And babies,
BUT THEY WANTED TO DOT
ON THE HOOP.
I grin
When hear people say
How brave it was for women
To follow their men
In Covered Wagons.
S'matter of fact
1t took a lot more courage
To stay home
In a covered house
Seeing the same old things,
Doing the same old chores
Than it did to go off
With that whoopee crowd
In a covered wagon.
Yes, the old-fashioned home
Was a great institution,
But don't kid yourself
That it came natural for women.
And now it's gone
We haven't the price
Nor the space any more
For that old-fashioned home
And men have grabbed
The housekeeping jobs
And turned them into
Big Business.
So what's a lively woman
Going to do nowadays,
After she's tidied up
Her one-room apartment?
She's going to do
What she always wanted to do
She's going to Go Gadding.
She won't call it that.
She'll call it
Getting a Job, or
Having Career, or
Going in for Club Work,
Or Civic Improvement,
Or Politics-or somethin.'
But it will all amount
To the same thing in the end:
1t will all amount to
JUST GADD1NG.
And THEN what?
What'll the world do,
What'll the race do,
What'll the babies do
With all these
Restless, rebellious,
Excited, unhappy,
Fidgety Females
Milling around
Wanting something,
Never knowing
What it is?
What'll happen then?

Something will happen,
