Reading the account, however, of an American who has been studying this phenomenon in German uni- versities, where it has lately been revived, one begins to see a sort of reason for it. It is net fencing, as with foils and rapiers, but broadsword work. There is no ducking or flinching. The fighter halds the sword hilt above his head and must not bring the point below chin level. Strokes are downward slashes. The object is to cut the opponent's face, which is exposed. There are only iron rings to protect the eyes. Neck, hody and right arm are guarded by heavy leather. The actual fighting, in fierce, four- second periods until one of the contestants is “sufficiently wounded,” seems - like crude, purposeless butchery. An onlooker can see little skill in it, such as one sees in fencing or French sword play. But he does see courage. For the duelist is not al- lowed to dodge or step back, or even so much as bend his head to avoid a blow. He has to stand right up against that sword point and beat it back, or take it. And there’s something to that—learning to “take it.” CAGE FOR LOST CHILDREN On a recent fine Sunday 50 children were lost during the day at the St. Louis Zoo. It was hard on zoo attendants, on frightened children and on anxioys parents. Director George P. Vierheller felt that the situation called for a plan, so he evolved one. He is going ta have a corral built next door to the monkey house. Lost children will be placed on display in the corral.. Frantie parents will be directed te the corral to pick out their offspring. It is an excellent scheme, and de- serves to have heen thought of long ago. One can easily see further possibilities growing out of it, such as a checking ar- rangement for parents who would like te have an hour of ease on a park bench with- out having to separate quarrelling young- sters, buy ice cream cones and answer ques- tions the whole time. The corral is likely Key West, the least advertised important city in Florida, will not go through the coming winter without an aggressive advertising campaign. At today’s session of the exchange Club it was definite- ‘ly decided to start raising a fund {for the purpose. Those who an~ ‘dertook the advertising campaign last year stated it was no easy matter to raise the $2,300, which was used in Miami and __ other points to establish and maintain information bureaus. The excel lent results obtained from such 9 small investment, however, is posi- tive proof that if funds for a more extensive campaign of advertising can be raised the results will be far beyond those of last year. A committee will be appointed at once to start the collections for the fund. Editoriql comment: Common de- cency demands that those who con- tinually knock the home city and refuse to see anything good in it, get out and make room for those who are at work for its better- ment. ert bad i A boy was born inday night to Mr. and Mrs. J.
