Three main bouts are slated for

swing he is expected to use on
Shikuma. The giant japanese, big

ring, according to Hammond, has
never been defeated in this country
and will prove shifty target fol
Martinez niblick shots.

Manners
of the
Moment

Complaints from housekeepers
about people who track mud all over
their newly cleaned rugs, seem to be
increasing. Any one, they say, ought
to be able to see that muddy foot
prints are no ornament to a rug.
Though feel strongly on the sub
ject of mud tracks, I am beginning
to blame the housewives. Where, I
ask you, can a person with good in
tentions, scrape the mud off his
shoes in the average modern home?
I can remember when there were
foot scrapers and good stiff BRUSH
like door mats on which every child
was taught to paw before entering
house. If there was no scraper,
there was at least an old kitchen
knife lying beside the doorstep with
which any persons could dig out the
mud from his instep.
But now you can't find a foot
scraper in a 10-block square. And
doormats are so ornamental you
hate to soil them. Perhaps it is due
to cement sidewalks and a theory
that there Is no more mud. But the
theory is fallacious. There's plenty
OF mud lying around. And I'm all
for going back to kitchen knives on
the doorsill at least. JEAN.

BY MARY ALLEN HOOD.

Will any one who's going to poison
rats please inform their friends and
neighbors of the fact? Ditto mice.
Leave out the friends if it's too
much trouble, but by all means in
form the neighbors!
Cold weather having landed. ro-
dents are looking for places in
which to abide until the sun beats
down again. Houses furnish both
food and warmth. Rats can gnaw
anything from picture frames to
lettuce leaves and back again.
The average anti-rat housekeeper
is liable to go into a store for a
remedy and come out with q sack of
lye and instructions to sprinkle it
about. The general idea is that rats
will walk through it, then lick it of
their feet, course that kills the
rats. Maybe Pups, Bingo, or kitty'll
walk through the lye, too. The re-
suit will be the same.
There's the poisoned food rem
edy. Comes in paste and is spread
on nourishment dread, etc.. Rats
nibble, then depart this life.
The trouble is that Pups and
kitty become hungry, too; especial
ly for things which shouldn't con-
cern them. Rat poison knows no

bounds. 1t works just as we'll on q
dog, cat or even baby, as on a rat.
Traps are another logical home
remedy. Everything's o. K. as long
as the catch is restricted to its in
tended victim. Awfully easy for
inquisitive noses, paws and fingers
to get into, however.
None Of which means that people
have no right to kill their own rats.
The creatures are disease spreaders
and should be eliminated. Only the
world Is so small, and growing small
Ter by the minute, that one family
can't handle its domestic problems
against common enemy without
telling other people. Every COM
munity has its dogs, cats and chill
dren. They are all so apt to get out
OF bounds. When a feeling of
friendliness prevails, bit of wander
ing about doesn't matter. But when
rafting is to be done all irresponsi-
bic creatures must be kept in.
Ordinary rat poison works the
same on all animals. It's dangerous
careiessness not to warn the folks
nearby. When the job is completed,
destroy every piece which Is left
over. A bit might be picked up and
eaten by some ones pet or child
with tragic consequences.

bon could not slip.
In those days the rudimentS of
gift wrappings were very matter of
fact. You had tissue paper, usually
white or red: you had bolts of mar
row satin ribbon, spools of gilt
string, a few Santa Claus tags and
some Santa Claus or polnsettia
stickers. Anything fancier you had
to concoct for yourself. But Daddy
worked his miracles with whatever
came to hand-and our gifts made
up in appearance and charm what
they lacked in material value.
Nowadays any one can make
beautiful parcels with the minimum
of trouble. The manufacturers Of
papers, cards and so on have gone
out of their way to provide us with
beautiful papers and easily-tied rib
bons, and appropriate decorations
at prices to fit nearly every purse.
And it seems a pity with such
glamour possibilities" at hand that
we do not avail ourselves Of them
for even the most Insignificant
packages.
Choose "Personalized"
Wrappings This Year.
1t is fun to choose wrappings
that will appeal to each recipient.
There are ensemble" boxes now,
containing the paper, ribbon and
seals that go best together max
ing selection easier than ever. Or
you may choose variety of papers
and accessories. and mix your own
to suit your individual taste.
There are Jewel wrappings" for
costly gifts that bespeak the gleam
and glitter of the kernel" within;
there are amusing papers for chill
dren's presents, full of color and
appropriate figures; singing angels
decorate a pale blue paper for
mothers token Of affection; there
are Scotch plaids, silvery stars on
white grounds, and plain papers of
every color imaginable.
For man, this year, choose the
smart papers and ribbons in deep,
contrasting shades, such as dubonnet
and royal blue, black and red and
silver, brown and yellow and gold,
and so on. And if you want to
make your gifts really something"
here are few suggestions for wrap
ping them in several distinctive
ways. You will note in number
OF them that the new separate
initials that come in gold, silver
and colors are used to spell out
names and messages in a delight
full manner.
