SHARKEY SAYS MORAN WILL
KNOCK OUT WILLARD.
BAN FRANCISCO, March lt-Tom
Sharkey, th former pugilist, who fought
Jeffries, Fltsslmmons and Corbett, ex
rcts Frank Moran to win from Champion
Jess Wltlard. by a knockout, when th
two meet in the ring In Madison 8q,uar
Gardtia, New .York, on March 26.
"I have seen both men box and I really
believe that th challenger from Pitts
burgh is much th cleverer," says Phar-
key.
"Moran la an inch over six feet; Willard
Is tlx Inches taller. Jess weighs 270
pounds or thereabouts, and I cannot see
how b can be in condition and carry
that much weight.
"I know that Moran hat a knockout
punch and I think he wilt land It before
the ten rounds ar over. But even If he
does not win by knockout, I favor
Frank to get th popular decision.
"I cannot see how a boxer mho could
not win from Gunboat Smith, a light
heavyweight, can expect to win from a
big fellow Ilk Moran. Smith weighed
something Ilk 180 pounds when he boxed
WUlard twenty rounds out here on th
oast, and Willard was too easy for htm.
And Moran surely carries a fight to an
opponent much bsrder snd faster than
Smith does.
"Any man who weighs 110 pounds, about
the weight of Jem Mac and John L.
Sullivan when they were at their best.
is big enough to lick anybody."

FATHER HAS SOME
DUTIES TOPERFORM
Should Be of Greater Help to Mother
in Bringing Up Children, Says
Stymeit Stevenson.
GEAFT ON BABY WEEK PROGRAM
That "Father has something more to do
than pay tho grocery bill and then kick
about It" that he should learn really to
know tils children, visit the schools oc
casionally and Join fathers' clubs to meet
In the school houses and talk over af
fair bearing on child welfare In s man's
way these points were urged by Btymesr
Stevenson of Council Bluffs, originator
of the fathers' club movement. In a talk
at the baby health exhibit at the court
house, Monday evening.
"How much time do you spend with
your children?" was a pointed question
he put to the men In the audience. "Do
you know that boys are In th way of
becoming effeminate, what with being
with mother continually and th rest
of th time In school with women teach
ers? How much of an Idea has the
average young boy of a real, live man?"
he asked. The speaker opined that the
race of boys were fast verging Into a
patent leather shoe, pink socks, blue un
derwear, checkered trousered, shotted
vest, cuff-on-coat and feathered-hat ag
gregation. Ellis U. Graff, superintendent of
schools, who presided at th meeting had
some pertinent statements to make re
garding the modern child welfare move
ment, which, he said, waa designed to
gather up the loose ends ndt taken car
of In 4h avexagd. home.
"Bom people resent that the state is
assuming th obligation of th home.
They say modern welfare work is en
croaching on the domain of th home.
When you tell them th modem home
Is not ideal that It is not doing its part
In bringing up the child, they answer,
'Well, but It should be doing it!' It is
th duty of public' Institutions and the
school to take up this work if th choice
lies between having tb work done in
this manner or not having It don at all."
A violin selection was playsd by Miss
Isabel I (.adman, accompanied by Miss
Johnson., Th Young Women's Christian
Association of Collegiate Alumna fur

WOMKN ARB MORB TEMPERATE
Have Not Bad Habits of Men, Says
Dr. A. B. Burner.
"If th women of tojuy had as many
bad habits as th men, 1 would pity the
coming generations. Indeed," ssld Dr. A.
B. Homers. In an addreas on "Prc-Natal
Influences," yesterday afternoon, in th
"Baby Health week" program.
II was speaking of th strictly hygienic -
lives that must be lived by prospective
mothers In order to assure babies of the
highest possible healthiness. Th women
who us intoxicating liquors and tobacco,
he pointed out. ar comparatively very
few, and th temperate lives of the
mothers of today Insures th health ot
th generations of tomorrow.
Milk, bread, eggs and beef ar four
things which ha said should be on th
dally diet. He pointed out the danger
of pregnancy calling into activity dis
eases lying dormant In th prospective
mother, and urged that she put herself
under a physician's car.
There la no danger ot any baby being
marked physically because of anything
that Us mother may see or hear or do In
its pre-natal period, be said.
Speaking -of the Chicago case, wher a
badly deformed baby waa allowed to die a
few weeks ago, he said:
"The issue of life or death does not lie
with the physician. It la his duty to do
everything to preserve life and not to sit
in Judgment to determine whether life Is
desirable or not. The child should not
hav been allowed to die."
Airs. k. k. J. i-dnoim read a paper
urging a strict registration of births. In
lack of such registration, she said, the
I'nlted States is in a class with China
and Turkey.
"Our marriages and our deaths are
strictly accounted for. by civil and re
ligious authorities," she said, "but the
entrance of a baby into th world is not
recorded officially."
Sh pointed out th many advantages
of such official registration of births, and
th dangers that ar accruing through
lack of It.
Dr. John P. Lord delivered an lllua
t rated address on "Orthopedics," show
ing many views of th Stat Orthopedic
hospital at Lincoln and som of th 141

RECREATION BOARD
BECOHESTHE GOAT
Member! Admit that They Acted
Irregularly and Promise to
Do Better.
BETTER FEELING . PREVAILS
Called into conference with the
recreation board last evening, mem
bers of the city council declared that
the new board has been derelict In
its methods, and It also was agreed
that the ordinance under which the
recreation board has been working
gives the board power In one clause
and takes that power away In
another.
The conference was called by
Chairman Hummel of the recreation
board, and the general tenor of the
meeting reverted to the Hummel
English controversy, which broke
out last week.
Th gist of the conference was that the
recreation board ordinance should . be
amended so aa to give th board defined
1 nthortty, and In" turn, the board should
adopt rules and regulations and also de-
fin tli duties of its superintendent. -
Board Act Irresralar.
Mayor Dahlman, who presierea, told Su
perintendent English that in drawing up
the program for the playground institute
th recreation board should hav been
consulted, and he added that the chair
