For the main elements of the popu- lation the percentages of married per- sons among those 15 years of age and over are as follows: Foreign-~born whites, 60.4 for males and 71.9 for fe- the [nales; native whites of native paren- tage, 44.6 and 50.4, respectively; na- tive whites of foreign or mixed par~ entage, 37.2 and 47; negroes, 44.2 and 56.9; and Indians 66.1 apd 62.1, These percentages by no means in- dicate the relative tendency of the several classes as regards marriage. the comparison ishould be made by age periods, since :the proportion married in any class entrusted to them.

That is a pretty hard question to an- swer. Farmer Burns and 1 worked out, the problem of the toe hold wrestling in Jowa. I think I used it first on Scott Miller in 1902. 1 pulled the foat over the leg and applied the leverage. The other toe hold, and the one I em- ploy the most, was worked out later. : “There are several varieties of toe holds and locks, but the one I use most and the ene which writers call ‘(the famous- toe hold,” consists of get- ting the opponent's foot in a vise in which the toes and ankle are the points of attack. It is often confused with the toe hold over the leg, but the two grips are distinct, “It is important first of all to have one's opponent jn the proper positian to begin the preliminary moves for the toe hold. When an opponent is on the mat, suppase the attacker i on the right side. The wrestler who is the ‘under dog’ must be on his -hands and knees for the attacker to make the shift that traps his opponent's further fogt. “Fhe gttagkey from this position holds hig opponent to the mat by grasping the right leg high up with both hands, working well to the side. With his right hand the attacker reaches instde the crotch frors the front, grasping his opponent's left ankle. With the left hand he grasps his ppponent’s faot neay the toes, gl most simultaneously straddling the near leg of his apponent and pulling up on the imprisoned foot. The oppa: nent’s right leg in this way is trapped and his left foot is “out of gommis- slon,” Vhen tha left leg by been im: prisgned in this way for a few sec onds, the muscles relax and the mem- per becomes powerless. The attacker then pulls up and may apply the twist to the toe hold. His head may be used 88 an instrument of attack in forcing an opponent’s shoulders to the mat. " uSince the left leg of the defensive wrestler ‘has become ineffective by being imprisoned in this way, the ankle hold may be released and the toe hold easily refiined.

Since the under wrestler has turned on his side, the half-nelson may be affixed and the opponent pinned with the half-uelson and toe hold or the toe hold released and the crotch and half-nelson applied. The toe hold may be used alone. B “While I have won many matches with the toe hold, it is & mistake to imagine I have depended upon this grip. In fact, I have won more matches with other hblds. I probably have won most of my matches Wwith the half-nelson and crotch, but fear of the toe hold has helped in secur ing this and other combinationa. “I defeated Dinnie in England with this form of the toe hold, I think I put the hold on Dinnie more quickly than on any other opponent 1 ever met. Dinnie had angered me by con. tending he was not down in the first fall, and I gave him another chance, As he came toward me I dove far hia legs and put him down. As he fell I came down on his right leg and since he was in the proper position for the toe hold I nad his leg and foot trapped in a few geconds. I had it on Dinnie S8 quick that it made him a convert tg our style of wrestling. He was one of the best boosters we had in Englang after that experience. “I think Hackenschmidt mortally feared the toe hold in both our matches. He quit when I went after the hold in our first match. He plead- ed that he had enough as soon as | secured the grip in our last meeting “I doubt the wisdom of barring the tee hold.

In 1900 at the Brookes! casino in Chicaga I injured Pardello, the Italian, but had cause, for he had pulled a’'whole handful of hair from my head. It is just as easy to injure an opponent with the hammerlock or the headlock.” (Copyright, 1912, by Joseph B. Bowl ¢ Many.

It .will soon be ‘possible for the tourist to go over the Alps by auto- mobile. All the details have been ar- ranged for the establishment of an electric stage service, the amount in- volved in th® purchase of equipment and materfal and in good improve- ment being about a half million dol- lare. The line runs from Airolo by way of the Bedretto valley and the Nufner pass, ending at Ulrichen, in the Valais-region, with a total length of .twenty-five miles. Considerable work will need to be done in eplarg- ing the routes so as to make them suitable for automobile traffic, and a bridge is to be built over the Tessin river. The new electric automobiles have capacity for - twenty-two passen- gers and make the trip in two and one-quarter hours on ordinary and one and three-quarters on express service, running twelve to twenty- two miles an hour. Three trips will be made per day in. each direction, during all seasons when there is no smow on the roads. : » April 17—South Atlantic, league [y ¢ ¢ LODGEDOM IN BEMIDJ. ¢ 9206060000000 00 A.0. U.

A good tonic for the girl who is 1 short on ambition and long on frivoli- ties is reading biographies ot men and women who have “arrived” after hard ups and disheartening downs.
