Personal
League OF Women Voters Hears Miss Florence Kirlin

present when President Roosevelt signed the securities act,
 The league, as a national organ ization, Miss Kirlin said, will be vitally interested in two subjects coming up before the next congress. These are the extension of the Merit System and the Copeland Food and Drug Bill. The former advocates good personnel and good administration. Fine laws would be to no avail if those in charge of administering legislation were not worthy and capable in their positions. Able employees should be recognized as such and should be allowed to advance in their partic- ular line of work. The league be- lieves that there should be an ex- tension of classified civil service administration for postmasters.
 The latter bill, the Copeland Food and Drug Bill which has already been passed by the senate and IS pending the action of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce committees, should be very close to the heart of every league member, not only in the interest of good gov. ernment, but also from the point of view of, the consumer. It extends the Wiley Bill of 1906 to include cosmetics and advertising, and pro- yideS for the prosecution by the Food and Drug Administration of any manufacturer or advertiser guilty of fraud. Under the present law if statements on a label are true, but the products is in itself danger ous the food and drug administra- tion cannot prosecute, under the Copeland bill it could. Further leg islation with reference to cosmetics would allow the consumer to judge from the list of ingredients printed on the parcel whether or not the price asked is exorbitant.
 In connection with the leagues campaign for government re-or- ganization the national league has opened slogan contest for which two prizes are offered - one of $25 and one of $10. These prizes will be awarded to those contribut- ing the best slogans to awaken pulp lie interest in personnel in govern ment. The slogans must be sent to the Contest Editors, National League of Women Voters, 726 Jack son Place, Washington, D. C., be- fore October Fist.

Irishman Is Victor.
THE Yankee came out confidently


i = at the start Of the third round.
Caunt retreated toward his
corner. Sullivan twitted him on his
appearance. His battered face was
starting to swell. The Irishman
tripped him, lost his own balance, and
fell beside him. The grass was slippery
with Caunt's blood. The Englishman
started the fourth round with a rush
and landed two hard blows on Sui
livan's head. The latter slipped or fell.
Caunt stood over him for few
seconds. Then he turned and staggered
toward his seconds.
He seemed almost helpless when he
came out for the fifth round. Sullivan
chased him around the ring. Caunt
turned his face to spit blood. Sullivan
sensed the end at hand. He struck
two hard blows on the chin. Caunt
rallied and landed twice on the Irish
mans head. Sullivan rushed him. The
Englishman fell back. He seemed
dazed. His guard was down. His
seconds shouted to him and he reused
himself. Sullivan drove him to the
ropes. They both fell.
Caunt staggered helplessly in the
sixth round. He retreated before Sui
livan and fell against the ropes,
seemingly unconscious. The Yankee
supposed the fight was over. He turned
his back on his opponent and walked
toward his corner. His seconds shouted
at him. Caunt was reviving. He turn
ed and aimed terrific rights and lefts
at the Englishman's jaw. Caunt dodg-
ed them and caught Sullivan's legs.
Both went down.
Caunt was hardly able to rise at the
start Of the seventh round. Sullivan
chased him around the ring and
backed him against the ropes. The
Englishman tried to wrestle. He got
his right arm around Sullivan's neck
The Irishman broke the hold an Caunt
fell, ending the round. He could not
respond when the COW bell rang for
the eighth. After delay of IL minutes
the victory was awarded to Sullivan.

Arrange for Escape.

90 CAUNT and Sullivan, each at
= tended by his gang and followed
by a great troop Of country peo-
pie, set out from the town at sunrise,
in a terrific rainstorm, to find a spot
where they could fight without much
danger of interruption and where
there was a good possibility of escape.
The ring finally was pitched in Loun-
don County, Va, about three miles
from HarperS Ferry, where the local
sheriff had intimated his friendliness
and where it would be possible to
cross the Potomac into Maryland at
a moments notice.
The mountain sides overlooking
the meadow were thronged with rain
drenched farmers and mechanics
from the surrounding countryside.
Sullivan came out first. He tossed
his cap in the ring, hoped over the
ropes, and sat on the knee OF Tom
ODonnell, one of his seconds. Caunt
appeared a moment later. Scowling,
the two walked to the scratch line
and shook hands. There colorS were
hung in their corners-the green Of
Ireland for Sullivan, blue with white
spots for the Englishman.
The COW bell sounded. Both came
to the center of the ring, fists raised.

fists rained on his head. He was beat
en- back to the ropes. The defender Of
the green caught Caunt by leg and
threw him falling on top of him. They
were parted and went to their corn
ers.
Again the COW bell. Sullivan rushed
out for the second round. Caunt came
cautiously, blood trickling from his
mouth. He met the rush with stag
gering blow to the chin. The Irishman
was forced against the ropes. They
were loose and he fell over them. He
tried to pull Caunt with him as he
fell. The Englishman's face was
bloody. One of his eyes was closed.
He clutched q rope and saved him

battle was founght May II, 1847, in
picturesque meadow on the Vir-

Harpers Ferry. A good deal OF Sc
crecy was preserved in the preliminar-
les for fear of local authorities. Fight
followers from New York and Phila-
delphia drifted into Harper's Ferry
for several days before the scheduled
battle, filling all the rooming houses
and actually sleeping in the streets.
The superintendent of the Federal
gun factory, busy making rifles for
the Army in Mexico. heard of what
was happening and was prepared to
break up the meeting with soldiers
his excuse being that the forthcoming
bout had caused so much excitement
among the mechanics that they would
not work. Besides he swore out war

became a top-notch linksman, will
win back the District championship
for the first time since 1882 and will
win a flock of invitation tournaments
to become the outstanding local club
