C., fighting at the weight of 145 pounds. Daniels won by • knockout in the second round. In the second bout, at weight of 150 pounds, Billy Bennett of Belle Plaine A. C. quite easily took the decision in three rounds over Herb Simmions of Lake Forest. Simmions has plenty of strength and possibly more rounds would have ended differently. Bennett' 1'is very clever and the present Tnbune Golden Glove holder of Chicago and New York. The tfnrd scrap was at 145 pounds and Claude Haley, a cool and tough colored boy, took Fred Newel, of Chicago, by a clean knockout in the second round, after flooring Newel for an eight count in the first round and another eight count in the second round previous to the knockout. The fourth bout between Jimpiy Joyce of Jefferson Park and a colored boy, Bobby Bryant, of Belle Plaine, at 118 pounds, was stopped by the referee and declared no contest. Bryant appeared to be a whirlwind and the crowd would surely liked to have seen him in action in an equal match. The fifth bout was at 116 pounds, between two favorites of the Polly Prim, Eddie Peddle of Lake Forest and Howard Kraft of Grayslake. They have each of them been matched with Billy Blue and others and it was a mighty close match, although the judge's decision was a draw at the third round. Peddle came back strong in the fourth and put it all over Kraft. A semi-windup match was Polly Prim's A. C. Billy Blue, who took on Jimmy Joyce, who substituted for Pep Jennings, who had not appeared. This was a very close match. Blue outpointed Joyce, but Joyce out-slugged Blue. The judges gave the decision to Blue amid the ^boos" of the crowd, who thought that Joyce had the best of it. Joyce tripped and fell all over the ring and covered his head with his mitts whenever Blue was too fast for him. Joyce appeared to be laying for an opportunity for a knockout blow, but Blue is altogether too quick for. Joyce to land such a blow and when Joyce did hit Billy the latter was dodging backward so that there was no effect to the blow. The Anal bout was at 150 pounds between Larry Levette of Waukegan and Roosevelt Haines of Belle Plaine A. C. Haines is the colored boy upon whose chin Stevens broke his wrist last week. Levette has a long reach and an ever present smile and his opponent doesn't seem to get his goat and Haines had to be good with a shorter reach to get a draw decision in tjie third. Levette took the decision on the fourth round. Both these boys appear to be ten-round boxers. The crowd would certainly like to see a six or ten-round return match between these two boys. The next boxing match at the Polly Prim will be Tuesday, July 10th, at 8:30 o'clock, standard time. 11 Just Oat of Lack ' She vnhapptest man on rseord is lb* one who Is constantly expected to fee something he Is not by a woman , whb believes that she Is something she is not--Woman's Boms Owns* yanlon. PRISON POPULATION IN NEW HIGH MARK Illinois Penal Institutions Are New Housing 8,219 Inmates, Record Number For State. SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 3.--Penal, reformatory and corrective institutions under the direction of the Department of Public Welfare, at present hold 8,219 inmates. This is the greatest number in the history of the state and marks a gain of 1,013 for the last biennium. On June 30, 1926 the same Institutions housed 7,206 inmates, then regarded as a record for the state, as follows: • Illinois State Penitentiary, Joliet 2,639 Woman's Prison (Joliet) .-- „ 73 Southern Illinois Penitentiary (Menard «_._....l,668 Illinois State Reformatory --1,411 St. Charles School for Boys (St. Charles) Training School for Girls (Geneva) -- State Farm %Vandalia) 443 181 • ;':^r .

At the Southern Illinois Penitentiary the gain was 306; St. Charles, 27; Geneva, 67, and Vandalia, 181. The Illinois State Reformatory at Pontiac alone shows a lower enrollment than in June 30, 1926. At this institution a decrease of twelve has resulted for the two year period. Woven Commit Few Crimes Survey of the Department of Public Welfare shows that of the 8,219 inmates of the penal, reformatory and corrective Institutions ofthe state, 7,- 628 are males, with but 591 females. Of the latter 81 are women convicted of a penal offense and serving in the Woman's Prison at Joliet, while the remaining 510 are delinquent girls in the £>tate Training School ot Geneva. Comparison of the number of males to the females shows there is an average of thirteen men in the penal, reformatory tfnd corrective institutions of the state to one woman. If comparison is made only on those sentenced to the penal institutions it is found there are eighty times as many men as women convicted of penal of' fenses In the state of Illinois.

J. Walsh.) DO& BUNKER, demonstrator and expert salesman for the Consolidated Motor company, after assisting his wife and small daughter from the taxi, carefully, assembled their baggage piece by piece, as was his custom. "Where's the brown bag, Elizabeth?" turning to Mrs. Bunker, who was at that moment engaged in animated conversation with a bevy of sorority sisters who had assembled at the station to see her off. "Oh, It's there somewhere, Don," In a don't-bother-me tone of voice. "But, my dear, It Is notl" persisted her husband. "Mary Helen wanted to carry it--I naturally supposed she would put It in the taxi," explained Mrs. Bunker, who had a talent for shifting responsibility. "It has all the baby's wardrobe In It, I take It?" queried the exasperated father with a rising note of sarcasm. Mrs. Bunker nodded assent. "And her bottlef "Surely 1* "Well of all the careless tricks, Elisabeth," he grumbled. "Trusting1 that bag and the baby's food to a elglit-year-old child!" But the approaching limited cut short the controversy. A Yellow cab was hastily summoned to go for the missing article, which must now come by the next train, after which the mother and child and the remaining bags and bundles were rushed on board, further upsetting the complacency of orderly existence. "The porter will bring milk for Pat," Mrs. Bunker hastened to assure her husband, "so why worry! "And I'll be careful of her dress," she added as an afterthought "She'll not drink out of a cup!" he retorted gruffly. ^ "When a young matron at the baby clinic announces: *My baby will not eat so and so,' Mrs. Bunker related flippantly, hoping thereby to divert a lecture on thrift. 'Doctor 8ayre always scores with: Tour child will eat what is given it, like any other child, when it's hungry enough, madam !",L' "Brute I" commented her husband. Then, not to be sidetracked by any subterfuge, he launched out vigorous ly on his favorite theme--system. T always count my luggage--com* ing and going"--he concluded his arraignment, "as carefully as a surgical supervisor counts her towels and sponges I v "Besides that," be grumbled, "it cost me a dollar to send for that bag! Just a dollar thrown away 1 What wonder we do not get ahead faster lw "One does get fed up on this e(Bclency stuff, darling," Mrs. Bunker confided to her small daughter after the outraged father had gone in quest of food for his offspring. "Just as If it were my ftarit that Mary Helen abandoned the bag when she saw an ice cream wagon--I remember now. Well, we'll get you boms somehow, sweetheart, though you do look a bit disreputable. Too bad, darling, you fell heir to such a slipshod mother 1" •'The firm Is sending me to Bristol on important business!" Don an* nounced to his wife with ill-concealed elation a few days later. "Tine!" replied that lady. "But why shouldn't they send you? Aren't you the brains of the institution?" "You're making fun of me now, Peggy*" be grinned in great good h» mor. He was really very fond of his happy-go-lucky wife, although her logic--her utter lack of system--was past all understanding. Nevertheless^ in her own good time she made him very comfortable. "I am riot!" she cried loyally. "Didn't you consolidate three rival agencies which were ail heeded for the rocks and made a going concern of them?" ' V, "Well," replied her husband_^u> tiously, "I'll admit that we have a highly efficient force and are doing more business twice over than the three old factions, with overheads cut In two, but it would ill become me to take all the credit. I^ve Just been fortunate in my selection o^employees, and, of course, the other fellows put up the money! Aren't you coming with me, Peggy?" he suggested hopefully. "We'll spend the week-end with mother." "Sorry," replied Mrs. Don, "but my only decent rag is at the cleaner's f besides we're playing semi-finals in the golf tournament Saturday. But really there's no reason why Pat. should not go on a visit to her grand* mother. It will save hiring a woman to stay with her tomorrow. We'lf make that dollar back which you have been lamenting so sorely since our Kansas City trip," giggled Elizabeth. * "Have Patricia ready at 11<80! promptly," Don Bunker admonished, "I have not a moment to spare. I'll bd; out for her as soon as I demonstrate the 1927 model to the old gentleman from Sprlngdale." "Pack an overnight bag for me-- with my golf togs, of course. I may want to stay the night at the Country club. Put Pat's things In your suit* and send my golf clubs--that will be all. "You need not bother to send milk, I can get some on the train, but put In two bottles in case of an accident/* were his final instructions. Miss Patricia Bunker arrived at th# home of her grandmother well fed, well-groomed and In a happy frame of mind Bristol was reached In ample tim# for a demonstration of the Imperial Six, which real ted in procuring a desirable agency for the Consolidated Motor company, after which the sue* cessful representative of the concern enjoyed a round of golf with old friends.

"Bing!" went the telephone "This is Bunker speaking. •'Yes, I could. demonstrate for you this evening! "Surely 1 I could drive it home for her tonight In the cool! That would be fine!" Mother Bunker had gone out for a j|ew minutes carrying roses and a dish of home-made ice cream to cheer a sick neighbor. There Was no one to remonstrate against this change of schedule. The big machine was soon rolling up the driveway and bags were hastily stored. Now anxious to be'off, the demonstrator chafed at his mother's absence. Then deciding not to wait, he hastily scribbled a message on tt-.e back of a contract form, explaining his sudden flight and placed it conspicuously on the library table. Under his skillful manipulation the splendid car moved ofT rhythmically-- triumphantly. It as a magnificent run--seventyeight miles in a trifle less than two hours--not so bad for a new car! "Nine forty -five," consulting his Vtlmeplece before Inserting his latch- key. Elizabeth would still be up, though not expecting him. "Hello, dearie," he burst In upon her. "How went the semi-finals?" "I brought home the bacon, all right," he continued eagerly. "I procured the best garage and the beet salesman In Bristol for the Consolidated and sold a seven-passenger model on the trip home! How's that, old dearl "All baggage present, too! One suitcase containing seven dresses, one white sweater, ene pink sweater, two bonnets"--he enumerated. "Otoe overnight bag, one set of golf stacks--one, two, three--all here?" / "Yes?" questioned his jwife dubiously. "Yes, what?" a bit raffled at her apparent skepticism.
