Jimmy Wilde, that ex- traordinary little man wllli plpestt^m arms, but a fist like a steel hammer (the greatest boxing freak in ring his- tory. 1 think), was nghting Pete Her- man. Boniburdler Wells was also hav- ing an argument with the formidable heavyweight, Levlnsky. I had ventured, through the medium of Wing ComniHnder Louis Grelg. then controller to the Duke of York, and an old friend of mine, to ask If the Prince would Join my parly for the tight. Louis had presented me to the Prince on the night of the Beckett Carpentier tight at the Stadium Club, the previous December, and I hoped His Royal Highness would attend some more contests, and so give box- lug some badly needed encouragement. Mack came the reply that the Prince would not be able to dine with me, youth and middle age. It was the Prince's debut as a patron of the ring. The scene was the Stadium Club. Carpentier, who had leapt Into fame by knocking out the tall Bombardier Billy Wells at Ghent had come to try conclusions with the big Englishman, Joe Beckett. The French boy looked white and drawn beside the burly, well-colored Beckett, and most people agreed with Arnold Bennett, who, before the light l)egan, told me he thought Carpentier was "a dead man." People were not ' then aware of the tiger that slept In ' that pale French boy! | The Prince had come to his first big fight with Louis Grelg. This was ' In December, 1919.

When the latter came, the Prince asked him If something couldn't ba done. He didn't like to sit there with a good view, while other people who had paid their money couldn't see. That made the manager get a move on. They got some wires and ropes, and the banks of llghta were pulled higher and to one side. There had been an Incident or two over the fight before the big event.

He explained that he had dashed up to town from hit bunting quarters and had stopped only to change and eat a sandwich.

Lib.): The mll- llona spent on increasing the Canadian population by meant of immigration have been spent in vain. More than that, they have been spent to the de- triment of the country itself, since this intense imtnigration has caused the departure to the United States of a portion of our Canadian popu- tatlun Bathing Beauty Contest Chicago Tribune: As newspaper men we admit that bathing beauty contests are good for the back page and the roto section. But for the pur- poses of civic betterment they are punk advertisements. . . . We will admit, for the sake of argument, that every beauty who steps Into a one- piece suit and what she imagines Is the pose of a Parisian mannequin Is a home girl, Is kind to her mother, loves potted geraniums on the window sill, always goes to bed by 9 o'clock, and Is Just wailing until true love comes along, regardless of bank accounts. We still contend, nevertheless, that bathing beauty contests are not for art's sake or for love of a Greek Ideal of physical perfection. They are, on the contrary, about as close to the ancient slave market, where the bloom of shapely anatomy won young ladles places as dancing girls or as favorite consorts of luxurious caliphs, as any- thing wo have ever developed in this country. ' We don't think Chicago needs that sort of advertising. Touring Long Non-Stop Run Makes New Record For British Railway I.,ondon. â€" What is claimed to be the world's record non-stop railway run was made recently by two Royal Scot expresses of the Ix>ndon, Midland & Scottish Railway, one of which made the journey from Euston (London) to Edinburgh, 399% miles, and the other the trip from Euston to Glasgow, 401 Vi miles. This railway claims to have held the previous record in the run from Euston to Carlisle, 299 miles, without halt, also done by the Royal Scot, No disclosure of the intention to eliminate the stop at Carlisle was made when the two record-breaking trains left Euston at 10 a.m., but offi- cials at Carlisle were informed that the trains would pass through. Both trains arrived seven minutes early. Engines with specially large tcndcr-i, holding more coal and allowing of a double crew, have been constructed for these long hauls. -♦- First Spectator â€" Who called the referee a fool?

Whenever you put your car away for the night in a strange garage, look at the floor under it. The chances are you'll find puddles of oil and water there. If you didn't discover them until the next morning, you might think your engine had been leaking its vital contents- It's not a bad idea, cither, to make a note of your mileage when putting the car to bed away from home. Any one who happens to see you taking down the figures may be discouraged from borrowing it for a joy ride dur- ing the night. If the car is taken out, you'll know it when ;'ou check up in the morning. Don't let garage men push your car around by applying their energy to the headlights. Lamps are easily loos- ened in this way, or bent out of ad- justment. It's better to leave your car parked with the front wheels pointed out than in toward the curb. Parked cars are sometimes bumped by passing ve- hicles. If the wheels are pointed in, the car may run up on the sidewalk and injure some one. If the wheels are pointed out, the car will roll away from the curb and into the passing vehicle. When running at high speed it's a good thing to remove the foot from the accelerator from time to time. The throttM is thu.* closed- and oil lis sucked up past the pistons.

The lion missed ^him about the tree something like ten feet above the ground, and with part of the fifty- foot rope, which he had fixed with a loop and knot so that it would not choke the lion when tightened about the animal's neck, he began his efforts to rope it. "He war in an awkward position and missed his first throw. The lion was not used to such procedure and turned its fury from the dogs toward this new attack. We on the ground held our breath in suspense in a tense moment when the cat growled and crouched as if to spring on Luther. Luther said: 'Look out, boys! If she umps I'll fall out backward.' We were much relieved when the lion seemed to abandon the idea. On the next three throws the lion caught the rope its mouth and held it a whila and the.i released it. Finally the rope went around its neck and was tight- ened- "The dog-lidltiors could not see the lion when .she b't the ground be-ijuse of the dense brush, but we knew, from the earnest yells of the Snow brothers, just what had happened.
