Dr. King declared that an adequate educational system must be evolved, as the present system was utterly in adequate.

" Louisville, Ky., Feb. 14. George Whiteman, outfielder, who went to the Brooklyn Federals last year after play ing through the season; with Montreal, In the International League, has been bought by the Louisville American As sociation club. President Wathen, of , Louisville, made -. this announcement -tonight. The price was not stated. Friends will regret to learn that -Mrs. 35. B. Pleasants underwent an op eration for appendicitis at the James Wlker Memorial Hospital yesterday. She was reported, last night' as resting MUCH INTEREST IN MATCH Hamwm-Hartley'Mlll Expected to Prove Classic Wrestling Event of Years. Both Are Training;. No wre'stlin'tnateh held here in re cent years not even those between Fritz Hanson and) "The Unknown" has aroused quite - .the same degree of preliminary interest as the Hanson hartley mill, scheduled for Friday night at Woolvin Hall. : The Subject has been the chief topic bT conversation in sporting circles for several weeks, and since the arrival of Hartley in the city Sunday morning, and the signing of the articles of agreement yesterday, this interest has increased ten-fold. Hartley lost no time in getting d own to training yesterday. He put in a good hour's work at. the- -Y. M. C. A., and he will continue" ..training enough to keep in trinv and to make the nec essary weight : each day between now and Friday. The match is" to- be two falls out of three to a finish, for a purse of $200 or more and 75 per cent, of the net gate receipts. The strangle hold and toe hold will be barred, the latter hold even more strictly- than is usually the custom here, for the, articles of agree ment specify that one of,, the wrestlers my not grasp i the other's. toe except when on the defensive and for the pur pose of breaking a hold. Billy Tomz is named as the referee in the articles of agreement. The wrestlers have posted forfeits of $25 each to make 148 pounds at the ringside. Hartley met many of the local fans yesterday, and he has made a good im pression on them.: In his street clothes he does not appear very large, but those who saw him in wrestling cos tume yesterday say he is beautifully developed, and handles himself clever ly and skilfully. The little Englishman is of a quiet, almost reserved manner, is well edu cated and an engaging conversational ist. He has all the confidence in the world in himself, if one is to judge by his talk, which, however, never borders on the boastful. That he is a wrestler of extraordi nary ability is proved by his record, part of which was published in The Star yesterday morning. :He has de feated some of the best., known wrest lers of Englad,j his - record on "this side" is- one; that Any wrestler could be proud of.: Among" this latter list is to be noted Eugene Tremblay, the CanacVI to whom the Police Ga zette accoivj the world's welterwefgnt championship. Tremblay, at the time Hartley threw him, did not hold this championship, however. . As for Hanson, those who saw him wrestle Bull Montana last Friday nighJt are agreed that he has never been in better condition. He has had the ad vantage of a splendid training partner in big Max Schmidt, who has been nere several ?Jks, and tms nas improves him v -ufully, not only in strength, but ; in speed and endurance. He plan continue his training up to the day c-i. the match, and as he weighs only 152 now, he does not anticipate any difficulty in making the stipulated 14s pounds. Hanson, like Hartley, is not doing any boasting, but he appears equally as confident as the English man. While the merits of a wrestler are not always to be judged by his phy sical proportions, a comparison of the measurements of any two mat gladia tors is always, of. rriterestr The meas urements of Hanson and Hartley are as follows: Hanson. 5 ft. 6 in. . 152 pounds 40 inches . 1. inches . 32 inches . 21 inches . 16 inches . 15 inches . 12 inches . , 7.8 inches .

The five from Davidson College were easily defeated by A. & M. here tonight by a score of 37 to 14. The game, although a lit tle slow, was exciting throughout and very mucn enthusiasm was shown by the audience. This is the second time that these two Yearns --'have met this season, Davidson defeating A. & M. in the first game and the latter even ing up by winning tonight. Lindsay played a star game and de serves much credit, having obtained nine goals. Temple also played stel lar ball and caged five.

As o in.ni.roi r til a wrestlers hold their grappling ability for: a number of years beyond the point where fighters begin to slip back. Jeffries was 35 when Johnson, at the age of 32, wrest ed his title from him. Gotch is as aim Stecher 23, and, while the latter has a remarkable record to date, many thinK that Gotch's long mat career and wrestling experience will offset the ad vantage of Stecher.'s-youth. In fact, some wrestling experts ng ure that the Nebraska - grappler is-, too young to tackle Gotch. Certain it is that a study of the" latter's feat record impresses one with -the formidable per formances of the man when taken in connection with the well known fact that he has always been moderate and methodical in his habits and training. Gotch. whi is 5 feet 11 1-2 inches tall and weighs about 210 ..pounds, in con dition, has won-, more. than.-160 of tne 172 time handIcar;Jtaish.J)outs to addition to throwing. m6r;than 20ft op ponents in 15-minute "exhibition or In vitation bouts in this country .ahd-Can--adaj.

He has wrestled more than 60 matches and has never lost a decision, although held to a no-fall match by -Strangler Lewis and George Turner. ... FUNDAMENTAL PRINCI PLES OF FEDERAL Rfc SERVEACT VINDICATED (Continued From Page. One.).; s they had not contributed ' to ; the strength of the Federal Reserve sys tem by taking membership iii it. the board is; giving serious thought" to this question and to the action that may be taken to guard against the consequence otrthis situation." This part of the report 3s concluded with an, expression of opinion that the credit resources of the -country would be greatly enlarged and Strengthened with corresponding benefit to business and the people if state banks and trust companies were to enter the system. The report declares that a condition of remarkable ease was the outstand ing feature of the country's money market during thevyear. It says that the nation's export trade has reached high water mark, that manufacturing in nearly all lines is active and that it has been the part of wisdom for re serve banks to conserve their resourc es" and hold themselves in readiness to meet any. unexpected developments in the situation. "An increase of almost a billion dollars in the combined loans of national banks in the year and an increase of deposits of nearly two bil lion dollars, are pointed- to as pertinent in considering, the situation. "These facts," the report says, "would seem to indicate that it is prudent to be prepared for . a time when the re serve resources of the country will be subjected to a severe test , and when the leadership and operations of the Federal Reserve banks will become correspondingly more influential." The discount policy of the board dur ing the past year is declared to have been the proper one under the existing circumstances, but it is pointed out that as time goes on there will be a dispo sition to make these rates as nearly equal in all parts of the country-as is possible. The Reserve banks have not been greatly encouraged to indulge in such commercial banking operations as the law permits, Open market opera tions as th.e. act "term's 'themv the board says, because thereby the. danger of in flation might have been increased and money rates further depressed. More active participation in such transac tions by reserve banks may be expect ed in the future. The board, the report announces, is considering : the establishment of branch agencies "of reserve banks - in cities other than those where such banks are located and for the present does not expect to approve the estab lishment of branch reserve banks. The clearing operations of the banks, it says, have proved a success, but too few of the banks have taken advantage oT this function. GERMANY MADE OFFER ON NICARAGUAN CANAL (Continued From Page One.)

R. HAMILTON Former Advertising Manager of Wanamaker's, Philadelphia If a man has anything he is proud of, he gives it a name whether it be a baby or a pair of boots. Anci the more he is proud of it, the more he talks about it. Nameless things are seldom good and never reliable. If you want to cut down your cost of living the very best way to do it is to learn to ask only for standard articles. When you know the name of a good maker of shirts or shoes, of furniture or pianos, of hardware or underwear, fix that name definitely in your mind and remember it when you come to buy. Do not allow strange things to come into your home any more than you would allow strange people. The brand and the trade-mark and the copyright are the let ters of introduction from the maker, to you. In this way he vouches for their respectability and guarantees their good be havior in your home. There is a name for every good product that is made. And most of these "names arte known to every man and woman in America. Manufacturers have spent hundreds of millions of dol lars to standardize these names in your mind. From the lining of a dress to a laundry soap ) from a cleanser to a baking powder; from a suit of clothes to a kit of tools ; you could call every stand ard article on the market by name if you would only remember to do so when you come to buy. It is through your carelessness that lies and adulterations creep in. The standard is set by good men, but the standard is only maintained by you. It is time for you to forget the generic name of every article, and remember only the standard name of its quality. In the advertising news of this paper today you will find many of these standard names and brands of quality. This article is written for the sole purpose of remainding you to use those names. . It is only fair that you should do as much for these good manufacturers as they are doing for you. It is only right that you should help in this great standardization of good products that is going on throughout America. Begin now to ask by name for everything you buy. And you will find your satisfaction growing greater day by day and your -T7 T upg even clown Mar Referee Big Fight. Charley White. A striking situation has arisen in connection with the $70,000 fight of Willard and Moran, because thero are very few referees who have handled championship battles. Charley WhTte, the greatest referee the boxing game has known, is perhaps the only man left who has had sufficient experience to manage such a fight. He is the man in-whom the public has th-3 most confidence. While Tex Rickard, pro moter of the fight, has not chosen a referee, he is receiving letters at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York sug gesting White. Those fight fans who are anxious to see this contest handled by a man who can't be bought or frightened, and who know his bust ness ought eo write to Riekard. They have a real personal interest in seeing this fight managed so it won t Cause a scandal and adverse legislation. SCHOONER BLOWN ASHORE The Abate H. Green Wrecked on Hog Island, Va., Sunday Night.
