About the most indelicate set of

Not to Lave done so, one gathers,

The weakness of this questionnaire
consists in the fact that "improper"
may mean different things to differ
ent people. To an elder of Zion, for
instance, any dancing is "improper,"
and any dress cut above the wrist
or below the collar, is wicked. To a
girl who has been accustomed to see
claret on the dinner table ery day
of her life until prohibition came
in. the occasional use of a mild glass
of wine seem3 a perfectly innocent
thing, whereas the ardent pussyfoot
would consider such sinful indul
gence a shame and a disgrace. "Tell
ing a lie."
In some uncouth guide circles in
cludes such polite fictions as "not at
home," and "sorry to find ycu out."
Petting parties and kissing without
good and sufficient cause, (such as
an engagement which is inoant to be
kept) would seem to come within
the curse. These amusements can-
not. with any probability at all. be
considered ladylike.
But one little angel declared her
self innocent of all the misdemean
ors except one. .That sounds like a
pretty good record, doesn't it? She
hadn't done anything improper,
smoked, danced, lied or kissed. She
was almost wholly innocent, but
she had cheated.
Now, to some reasonable uud 'ion
orable minds, cheating would seem
worse than all the other ciimes ex
cept perhaps the illicit kissing, put
together.
On the whole, nobody has any
right to ask such questions. Human
nature hasn't progressed far enough
yet. They are too painful.

the referee's decision to George Lam
son on a foul at Saturday night's
show staged by Omaha World War
veteran?.
The opening bout between Taylor
and Ed (Bearcat) Wright was a stem

lighter dusky-hued boxer coming in

he is matched. Niched is a boxer of
j-Tcat experience, served oversea.! in
the world war and carries the per
sonal recommendation of General
Pershing.
Excitement was keyed up to a high
pitch when it came time for the con
testants in the main event to enter
the ring. Lamson was first in, fol
lowed closely by Schmader and both
received a nearly even ovation.
At- the opening of the first rovnd,
Andy was out and quickly landed a
number of hard blows about the In
dian's cheek and jaw. Then, thru
pain or for other reasons the yellow,
skin took to- his hands and knees on
the canvas, and in that position re.
ccived a number of blows. Bud Lam.

into the ring and attempted to tell
the patrons that the referee had er

of victory. Police ejected him from'
the auditorium, and his license as a
boxer in Nebraska has since been
taken away from him. I
As the fight proceeded the Indian
camped on his hands and knees a'
number of times apparently laying
himself open to fouls, for when a'
man is knocked down he doesn't fall
to his hands and knees. - The referee
cautioned him against doing this, but
by that time, Andy had become in

promise him, and he too lost his head I

The end came In the third round,
shortly afier the Indian had crowded
him to the ropes, struck a low blow,
and then followed with a stiff punch
to the jaw that sent the Cass county
boy through the ropes. A little later
when Lamson camped on the canvas,
Schmader dove in with a fusilade of
blows to the head, and the referee
awarded the decision to Lamson.
Charges and counter-charges were
heard pro and con of the affair, but
.the facts remain that to date Andy
and Bud Lamson have had thpfr H-
s censes suspended indefinitely, while
the state hoard is said to he consid
ering taking similar action against
George Lamson and one or more of
Schmader's seconds.
Certainly it appears to the more
reasonably minded who have no bones
to pick either way, that the same
drastic action is due one as the
other.
Grudge fights are very apt to end
in una,entlemanly melees and it is
doubtful if any Nebraska promoter
will fail to take a leson from this
one and refrain from featuring such
bouts.- regardless of how remunera
tive they may prove from a box of
fice standpoint.
Andy's many friends here, of
whom more than a hundred were
present to witness the bout, regret
exceedingly the disagreeable outcome
