March 15 In American History. 1744 The American colonies began King George's war, a name given to the hostilities between British and French colonists in America, stirred up by their sympathies with the home government in the war of the Austrian succession. By the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle the war ended in 1748. 1767 General Andrew Jackson, sev enth president of the United States, born; died 1845. 1781 Battle of Guilford Court House, N. C; General Greene's colonials defeated the British under Corn wallis. 1911 First aero war message deliver ed at San Antonio, Tex., by Lieu tenant Ben. D. Foulois, V. S.

It ia pleasing to the visitor to view the harmony existing among our bus ness and professional men. The Com mercial Club is in a great measure resposible for this and the Live Wires among their number should take their share of the glory for such it is. From a city slow to act and to see its rights some few years ago, we are now one of the, if not the livest city on the coast of equal population. More new buildings, homes, etc., have been erected in the past two years than for ten years previous and macadamized streets are now taking the place of the impassible alleys, on ly recognized as streets on the city map of record. Hard pavement is now being considered and it is be lieved thart Seventh street from the steps to the city line east will soon be made one of the best thoroughfares in the state. There is much unfinished business on the slate of the Live Wires asso o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o t o o ' "a- - ; - , 'I VEK 113,000 infants (under JTK Vf "2 by infectious diseases and improper feeding, both PRE VENTABLE. And the remedy susre-ested is "morn hahW TO DESTEOY. Which do we need the most, more babies or more humane treat ment of those we have ? Do we really need an increase in the annual supply or a decrease in the ANNUAL SACRIFICE ? IF THERE IS DANGER OF RACE SUICIDE IT LIES NOT SO MUCH IN THE DECREASING BIRTH RATE AS IT DOES IN OUR NEEDLESSLY HIGH DEATH RATE. If our rapidly advancing civilization has reduced the native birth rate it has also provided us with life saving knowledge wherewith to offset it. Moreover, is it not true that a SMALL FAMILY OF CHTL--DREN WILL STAND A BETTER CHANCE to be properly nurtured and educated than a large family of children ? Which is the BETTER FOR OUR RACE, a large number of small families or a small number of large families? Which do you want, QUALITY OR QUANTITY? 1 " FOUR OUT OF EVERY TEN DEATHS ARE DUE TO PREVENT ABLE DISEASE AND ACCIDENT. THE SAVING OF THESE LIVES WOULD REDUCE THE PRESENT DEATH RATE FROM NINETEEN TO FIFTEEN PER THOUSAND POPULATION AND THEREBY INCREASE THE SURPLUS OF BIRTHS BY JUST THE NUMBER SAVED, AND THE OFFSPRING OF THE LIVES THUS SAVED WOULD INCREASE IT STILL MORE. . , ciation, but then it is almost a certain ty that before the end of the year the association will be credited with hav ing gained for the city' deep water to Portland free locks, a federal building, terminal rates, an armory and a free public library. With all we are the best "hard time" city in the country and in good times, proportionately likewise. Oregon City Is now coming Into its own. Something peculiar seems to be con nected with the offer of the national government of a reservation in Ten nessee to be used only by the .Nation al Guard of eight Southern states. A national reservation should not be fenced away from the National Guard of any state. The colonel asserts that if bdP"had not entered the New York campaign in 1910 the Republicans would have lost by 300,000. But didn't the col onel make a mistake in allowing the Democrats to carry New York by 67, 401 and both branches of the Legis lature? When things in England get a.3 ac ute, as the spreading strike now is, they are always settled speedily, in some way. Public opinion in that country is a swift as well as potent force when once in motion. Another native general has been killed in Ecudor. That country ought to calm down and study up Its pos sible advantages in the neighboring Panama Canal. The course of arbitration .treaties indicates that man will continue to be a fighting anjinal when he thinks the provocation is too much for a sound sense of national honor. It may be that the horny-handed old harvester, George W. Perkins, is merely trying to help Col. Roosevelt make hay while the sun shines. If there shall be a controversy over the finding of the South pole the peo ple, in their rage, will sever all con nection with, the poles. ' A Spanish town has 200 holidays a year. Seattle can beat this, but calls them elections. Colors In Flags. Red Is by far the most predominant color in the flags of the world. There is only one flag in Europe that does not contain red, and that is the stand ard of Greece. After red, blue takes pride of place, but many flags are en tirely red, except for minor devices. Egypt, Morocco, Austria-Hungary and Japan possess all red flags. No fewei than forty-two other countries display red freely in their banners, and the color is, in a natural sense, typical of valor and bravery. Blue in flags repre sents justice; white stands for purity. After Seeing the County Treasurer.

F. R. McCONNELL ILBANE'S CAREER IS INTERESTING New Featherweight - champion Combines Brains With Speed, WAS ONCE A SWITCH TENDER Listens to Call of Ring and Attaches Himself to Dunn's Fistic Camp En gages In His First Battle In 1907, but It la Not Until 1909 That Ha Meets Boxers of Ability. Johnny Kilbane, a twenty-two-year- 'old boy with sparkling blue eyes, ready wit, whose every action is peppery, ef fervescent indicative of a lightning brain and panther body. Js the suc cessor of Abe Attell as the feather weight champion of America. A boy better equipped for tbts estimable hon or would be hard to find. Now that Johnny has worked his way to the goal of all pugilistic per sons you want to know something about this new jewel of the gloves He will interest you. It is not neces sary that you be an enthusiast on box ing. The boy has a personality, and as such he will afford a pleasant char acter study. , Kilbane was born in Cleveland in .April. 1889. His father was Irish, his mother was Irish, and Johnny himself is Irish. You would never have to look twice to acquaint yourself with the fact. Is Tough Kid at Thirteen Years. When be was young that is. thirteen or fourteen he was tough, wild and forced to shoulder the burdens of the world early in life. Johnny has a fa ther who had the misfortune to go blind, and the present champion was hustled through the primary grades so he could be put to work and support the family. He was a switch tender on the N. Y.. P. and O. railroad when Jimmy Dunn, the lightweight, arrived in Cleveland five years ago. Kilbane weighed ninety pounds stripped, which was mostly skin and bones. But he was a spirited kid, chock full of animal spirits, and it did not take more than two words to get him fighting. He liked to hang around the Triangle of an evening and listen to the fight talkv-and he then had visions of himself in the ring fighting, with the cries of the crowd in his ears in cheers for him. Quitting his switch tending job after putting in a year nt it, Kilbane had a chance to go out to Crystal Beach. Cleveland, and see Jimmy Dunn train for a fight Dunn was a real live fight er at that time, and Johnny, of course, idolized him. Dunn and he became great friends, and Dunn gave him a few lessons in boxing. That settled bis destiny. He decided then and there he wanted to be a .scrapper, and he be sought Dunn to take him and become his manager. He fought his first battle Dec. 2. 1907, In Cleveland. It was a three round af fair, and he won. He kept on. Matches came regularly for him for six months, and he was victor in most of Jthem. Then hard times came, and neither he nor Dunn could get a fight. They had a tough struggle to obtain three squares n day. AH the time Johnny was study ing boxing, often on an empty stom uch. He was an apt pupil and quick to learn. Forty-three Fights and Champion. Nineteen-nine was his first real year of growth. He met Jack White. Johnny Whitaker. Biz Mackey and Happy Da vis. He iv. hieved a reputation for speed and cleverness, but bis friends thought he ran away too much. There was considerable rivalry be tween him and Tommy Kilbane, an other Cleveland boy of the same name, but no relation. Both boys had been performing outside Cleveland, and each was advancing in his profession. Tommy was a mixer and a hard hitter. Followers of the two began to talk of a match between them to settle for good the superiority of one or the other They ' fought at Canton. O- New Year's day. 1910. Johnny's cleverness was too much for Tommy, and' he was given the decision. This fight was the beginning of Johnny's rise to the cham pionship. After that he battled the best featherweights in the east He won in the majority of cases, but scored but one knockout. As a result he was looked upon as a boxer without a punch. " . Finally, after a yea and a half of point victories, he went to California and knocked Joe Rivers helpless in sixteen rounds. He effectively demon strated he possessed a settling blow. That fight was the stepping stone to the championship. After that he de feated Frankie Conley, and Charley White of Chicago. -Prior to the Rivers combat he had eliminated Patsy Kline from the title climb. When he met Attell recently he was the most logical featherweight In the world to be sent against the great He brew. And this after forty-three battles in the ring three years and a half of fighting. Surely Kilbane's progress has been remarkable champion of Amer ica at tweury-two and the cleverest and fastest boy of his weight in the world! 5 x ""f--5ii'ii.
