VISITORS to our unfair city are knocked bowlegged by the. sight of
all flappers and married ladies packing arourfd expensive furs.
They are also struck pink by the sight of married gents wearing costly
strings of pearls on their foreheads, which prove to be beads of perspira
tion on a second squint.
. We mention flappers and matrons -in one soda pop breath, because
the married cuckoos are the quartermaster department for both.
Knock off an ankle excursion up Ffth avenue or Broadway and every
blonde, brunette and henna you lamp is a high-heeled mummy soaked
to the ears in fur bandages. No frail considers herself official unless she
is dolled up like a hatrack in a boarding house with' all the boarders home.
Adam never had to worry about any soprano haberdashery bills. His wife
went around bald. But times have changed snce the two prohibitionists
got aboard the ark disguised as water bugs.
The old-fashioned spendthriftess who put all her worldly goods on her
back must have presented a wonderful view from the front. She always
tried to outshine the woman next door. She now has a daughter whose
idea of a rival is the wax lady in the plate glass window. Trying to out
dress a department store wax works is like trying to outshimmy a guy
with the malaria. No wonder her husband is so roundshouldered that he
can look into an ash barrel without bending his neck.
Furs are busting, up a lot of happy stucco bungalows with garages attached.-
One sealskin coat starting in the end cottage will spread through
out the entire row like flies in huckleberry time.
Postpone Meeting for .
Reorganizing State Loop
Grand Island,' Neb., Jan. 18.
.(Special.) On account of the luke
warmness shown by several cities
invited to send representatives to
the meeting at Lincoln called for the
Duroose of reorcanizine the State
League of Base Ball Clubs, former
President Miles has postponed the
meeting until some time late jiy Feb
ruary. J '
While hubTTyJs down in the cellar figuring the right way to drink wood
alcohol, the Wife is down town on' Fifth avenue with a bankroll that be
longs a block further east or west. She trades the B. R. for a genuine
seal coat that used to meow when it was alive and walk fencetops like
Blondin. Five hundred smackers for a near-beer fur coat with rent day
coming on and landlords packing hearts as soft as the yolk of a doorknob.
Anything makes a fur coat these days. Hunters used to trap furs,
but now they sweep out barber shop floors or lasso wild hair-stuffed
sofas of the 1870 period, when sofas were a mile long, engaged couples
superstitious and fever blisters were supposed to be contagious.
There seems to be anything in a fur coat but fur. But the manufac
turers are honest. They call a coat Mexican whimple and then explain
that Mexican whimple is imitation measle fur with two relapses and dand
ruff trimmings. That is writing a letter and calling yourself a liar in the
postscript.
NEW MEMBERS OF BOSTON RED SOX Three former members of
Jthe Washington Senators who will be in the lineup of the Boston
ea box next season, rne three players went to the Sox in exchange
for Bobby Roth and Maurice Shannon. Foster is a third baseman, and
will updoubtedly replace Shannon at second base for the Sox. Harper
is a pitcher, while Menosky will probably take Roth's position in the
Boston outfield.
No deception. No three shells and one little marble. Only one shell
and that's out. When they sell you a genuine Hudskin seal coatee, they
teH you that Hudskin seal is Persian noodles mixed with shredded lamp
wicks with a blotting paper filler. And a coatee isn't a coat. It's bnjy
the collar, but it will grow into a coat if it sheds in the right direction.
Every time the wife brushes it she puts the combings into a cigar box
with her switches. After three brushings she takes the combings back
to the store and has 'em made into a Moleskunk dolman, which is a sort
of empty potato sack with enough buttons on it to fill it. ...
Alaska butterskin is another favorite skin disease with the fashionable
frails. This Weejee Board fur is plain oleomargerine skin which looks
well at the first glance. Unfortunately, New York is an occult village in
which the plebiscite of inhabitants is gifted with second sight.
Africa beaverette is made of the coat and vest of a Kentucky mule or
of the pelt of the Swiss bimbo, a wood-eating insect which preys on the
eggs of carved cuckoos. Any fur is stylish for fur coats, provided that
its name means something else. But the girls are happy, so why worry
yourself into three or four aspirin tablets?
a .
Everybody's prosperous, especially the Gypsies who used to trade
mules and ride around in wagons. Now they skin the mules and ride
around m stem-winding limousines.

ENGLAND BACKS
CARPENTIER FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP
British Sporting Fraternity
Believe French Pugilist
Will Beat Dempsey in
Big Fight.
By EARLE C. REEVES,
International News Hcrvlca Staff Corre
apondent. London. Tan. 18. England has
adopted Georges Carpentier. It did
so with a movement as quick as the
short right arm uppercut which sent
Joe Beckett to sleep and made thi
Frenchman Europe's choice for a
challenge to Dempsey for the worW's
championship.
When Carpentier meets Dempsey,
particularly if the meeting is in Lon
don, as C B. Cochran hopes, the
French wizard will have all the
cheers and support of the sporting
fraternity of the country. He will
be, to all intents and purposes, the
chosen son of England, as well as

DR. K. It. TARRY 240 Bn Building OMAHA, NEBRASKA
France, against the American in
vader.
Adoption Was Sudden.
England's adoption of a' new and
Javonte son was so sudden as to be
astounding.
. A week before the fight it was
said practically no betting was being
done, because there was nothing in
the country but Beckett money.
Two days before the fight the situa
tion had changed but little. Every
body saw Beckett the winner.
Everybody scorned the advantage of
odds which were available if they
wished to bet against their own
country. So far as could be ascer
tained, betting on the Frenchman
just wasn't being done.
Then Paris began to vote and the
edds disappeared, but on the morn
ing of the fight only one leading
sport writer had the courage to pick
the Frenchman. One suspects that
certain canny Britishers had by this,
time begun to silence national pride
and quietly put money on the
French wizard. Otherwise the
bearded, bright-eyed visitors from
Faris must have taken enough cash
out of the country to lift the Paris
rate of exchange a point or two.
Needed No "Fixing."
. There was, in fact, a rumor afloat
in the hotels just before the fight
that St had all been "fixed" and that
the Frenchman was to win. "Lav
off," "keep your money or bet on
Carpentier," was the , word that
passed about. But if the Frenchman
went to the trouble of "fixing" the
fight it was a useless precaution
Georges didn't .need any help in
dealing with Beckett.
The rumor undoubtedly was
"bunk." but the fact remains that
Beckett was still the "white-haired
boy" with such of the British sport
l umtc as were talking audibly, and
continued so right uo to the uiKht c
the light.
Down in Juarez, with an audience
composed entirely of Francisco Villa
and his Mexican bandits, Harvey
Thorp, Kansas City lightweight,
fought a ring battle he will never
forget.
It was in 1913 that he stepped into
the ring with a Mexican lad called
Frankie Gage.
Just as they were about to start
hostilities Villa and SOO of his fol
lowers suddenly appeared on the
scene, and the fight promoters in
the crowd present just as suddenly
decamped with all the coin. 1
Thorp and the other lad were
about to quit the ring also' when
Villa insisted that they go on witb
the fight. , .
"I sure was up against it," Thorp
fays. "There was .nothing to do but;
fight. And then I was up against a
Mexican fighter with all those blood
thirsty Mexicans around.
"I was afraid if I let the other
fellow lick me they'd get me for
stalling,' and still I didn't know how
they'd take it if I beat up their fel
low countryman.
"So I just pegged away and gave
them the best I had, round after
round, without landing the kayo.
After about IS rounds of it I was
so well warmed up that I waded in
in earnest and in the 17th I knocked
him cold.
"Villa jumped into the ring, and
I didn't know what was coming. I
felt the chills creeping over me. He
stooped over and kissed me on the
forehead to show his appreciation
of the good fight."

BUZZING AMONG
AMATEURS HERE
Dennison, Higgins, Wavrin
And Lawler Are .Doping
Out Their Prospects.
-Many of Omaha's, old-time ama
teur base ball players and managers
of championship teams, some of
j whom have been out of the harness
fpr the past several years, will make
an appearance on the base ball field
of battle during the season of 1920.
That hag'been the gjossip during
the past week and it is expected that
before many more days these old
timers will be signing their teams for
the coming season.
The announcement last week that
John Dennison is contemolatinir
i budding out this year at the helm of
another fast ball club is practically
j responsible for the action taken by
j these other discarded managers and
players.
I Following, close on "Dynamo
I John's" announcement comes an as
j sertion from Earl Higgins, former
president of the Greater Umaha
league, who says if Dennison heads
a team this season he himself will
get his old club, the Te Be Ce's, to
gether and play Jawnls aggregation
every Sunday if he so desires.
Joe Wavrin, former vice president
of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball
association, is figuring on entering
a team in the race for championship
honors this season. Joe, however,
is uncertain at the present time
whether "he will have a Class A team
in the field or a semi-pro.
Manager Eddie Lawler of the
crack Murphy-Did-Its, last .season's ;
Greater Omaha pennant winners,'
city. Class A and western amateur
baseball champions, announced yes
terday he is as yet undecided about
his lineup for the cjming year. It
is, however, certain that the Mur
phys will be represented in the
Greater Omaha league this season,
but he announces that he is unable to
state much about the prospects until
he holds another conference with
Bert Murphy, backer of the team.
Bert is at the present time on a busi
ness trip in the east, and is expected
to be back in a few days.
Directors of the Municipal Ama
teur Base Ball association will prob
ably meet this week or the first part
of next week, at which time they
will discuss plans tor the coming
season.
Central City Boys Win;

Central City, Jan. 18. (Special.)
In a double-header basket ball con
test staged here Central City High
school boys defeated the Hastings
