Originating In Norway, Method Was
Taken L'p Here Nine Years Ago.
Over $3,250,000 has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last
eight years, and yet many people who
will buy these holidays stickers at this
ninth annual sale do not know how
this idea originated.
While Red Cross Seals really date
back to the Civil War when "Charity
Stamps" were first used, the firs
campaign to sell holiday stickers for
the tuberculosis fight was only nine
years ago in Deleware. Miss Emily P.
Bissel of Wilmington read an article
by Jacob Riis describing stamps used
for tuberculosis work in Norway, and
she conceived the idea of a similar
plan here. Single handed, she launched
a sale which resulted in $3,000 clear
money. When Miss Bissel tried to con-
! vince the American Red Cross that
! this idea should be made national as

BILLY MISKE HAS ARRIVED
BY H. C. HAMILTON.
(United Press Staff Correspondence.)
New York, Jan. 2. Billy Miske, for
years only a mediocre middleweight,
has arrived. He's a light heavyweight
now and he's spending most of Ida
time wrecking the hopes of others in
the same brigade.
A few nights ago Miske fought Jack
Dillon, the terrible Hoosier light
heavyweight. Miske didn't beat Dil
lon, but he did make tilings so inter
esting that if Dillon hadn't fought
back with all the speed and science
he possessed Indiana would have
mourned a dethroned idol. They'rj
trying now to match the two for a
return battle and if it goes through
there will be a Tegular old-fashioned
slam-bang tussle, and somebody is
pretty certain to get hurt.
Miske isn't clever. He's almost clum
sy, but he's one of the clumsy boys
who gets results. He has a long,
sneaky left that stabs in and out, mak
ing it decidedly uncomfortable for tho
men at the other end of the arm. Ho
pestered Dillon with it until Dillon
got mad and developed a habit of
I reaching up and pulling it off his
I chin, then whipping over one of his
own.
Recently Miske fought Battling Le
vinskey, who has quite a left of his
own. But Miske matcned letts wim
him and proved he was good at it as
Levinskey. Ho plastered Lcvinskey
all over the ring and earned a clean
cut decision.
Miske is being seriously considered
as the logical choice to send all the
big heavies against in an attempet to
get some one to send against Jess
Willard.
