At the present department will be directly intersted. In the meantime there is not an army poslSor cantonment or fort from Pitts burgh to the Presidio, from Sandy Hook to Seattle, where the Hotel Com modore bouts are not being discussed in a mood that verges upon downright rancor. Down at Camp Dix, at Wrightstown, N. J., where the first di vision is stationed, there is not a sol dier who would not join jn a volunteer movement to descend upon England time, writes Lieutenant Wilson, boxers in the army who develop marked abil ity,, turn professional as soon as their enlistments expire, if not before; there now beins no incentive for them to retain amateur standing. When plans now being considered have been per fected we shall no doubt find that a remedy for "this condition has been de vised. At Camp Dix, Sergeant Wlsniewski, the' athletic officer, has devoted a great Nursing Association Is Proposed for City There is a movement on foot among a. number of organizations of the city ' to form a public nursing association, having for its object the raising of a fund sufficient to warrant the adding of several more public health nurses "to the corps that is at the present time doing such splendid work in the city 'and county. For the purpose of arous ing Interest in the movement,. Miss ' Rose: Ehrenfeld, of Raleigh, state su pervisor of public health nurses, and in charge of the bureau of Infant welfare, spoke to a large gathering at the ''chamber of commerce on Wednesday. 'At the meeting were representatives of practically every organization of the 'city that is now supporting the corps fof local welfare nurses. ,; At ''-the present time the lftpal staff of welfare nurses is' composed), of six members, "four doing work In the city and one In the county, and the super vising nurse.

The result is a squad of 22 men, representing various classes. These men work under a group of six instructors, all of whom have a sound knowledge of boxing.

Miss Ehrenfeld, in her address Le-4 fore the meeting at the chamber of commerce on Wednesday, declared that the type of organization which is' hand ling the public nurse work in Wilming ton Is very nearly all that could he hoped for in a city of this size. But he stated that if. an association was formed with more local organizations Interested and supporting the .work, other nurses could be added with little additional support from any-particular group. It is planned to hold another meet ing tome time next week and it pos- sible have a representative present from every organization in the city. It is also planned to hold a mass meeting at the Hemejiway school at some time -In the near future, when It is hoped that the puWlc welfare association can be formed. At this meeting will be ex hibited several moving picture reels showing the work being accomplished throughout the, state by the .welfare nurses. WHEN NATURE COLORS THE CHEEKS the war department may adopt. Right now there are men at Camp Dix who impress the critical visitor as having ability far greater than any army rep resentative who boxed against the Brit ish at the Hotel Commodore." All of which brings us to this fact: The best army opinion obtainable has it that the army was not represented as well as it might have been at Mon day's tournament. In other words, it is stated that army champions did not meet the British. The last army cham pionship boxing bouts of which ath letic officers at various posts and camps have record took place at St. Louis last July. The lightweight championship at that time was won by Corporal Toomey, now stationed at Camp Dix, who at the Commodore put up the best and hardest bout of the evening against Jimmy Brown, of the navy. Private Snyder won the light heavy weight championship at St. Louis and Corporal Langford ' won the heavy weight title, ftust how Private Jack instructor of the lightweight division, and Private Lopez is instructor of the middleweights. , Lopez, by the ' way, looks to be a bear-cat. He is a Mexi can andin some ways reminds one of Carpedtier.' - H is lighting fast and can hit like a trip-hammer. The ath letic officer, who considers Lopez the best ever, Hoes not know why . the swarthy middleweight was not sum moned to New York to fight for the honor of the khaki. Private Russell, the heavyweight in structor, looks goods, too. " The 22 men -seem to have been capably handled at Camp Dix. They are , segregated-and all the time not given over to military duties is taken up with roadwork and boxing. The men are thus in excellent condition and it would seem that their training and development has been of a sort ,which would make them prom inent factors in any series of elimina tion contests which the war depart ment athletic authorities, looking, to ward a return engagement with the British army fighters, may devise.

Merchandise of .all kinds es pecial Silks, Woolen and Cotton fabrics is rapidly finding a very reasonable and consistent price level ; so much so, in fact, that it is nov questionable whether these lines wii"? go any lower for sometime, if at all. However, we do not think it is practical to issue a Catalog this season, as all lines have not, as yet, been adjusted. . For 'this reason we urge patrons to visit the Store as often as possible and take advan tage of the changed price conditions as they manifest themselves from week to week. We are always glad to send samples of all yard goods, and prices of any merchandise in which one may be interested. Miller & Rhoads The Shopping Center Richmond, Va. PARIS, Jan. 27.
