Penance dante reenerneses te eee Ree THE Jib JITSU FAKE To anyone who doubts the effectiveness of skillful advertising the popolarity of the jiu jitsu fad ought to be convincing A year ago the peculiar system of Japanese wrestling was Seareely heard of in this country; today everybody is famijar with it and It is even proposed to adopt it into the curriculum at West Point and Annapolis. Meanwhile numerous thrifty expesitors of the so-called art have been reaping a rich harvest of good Yankee dollars American wrestlers have oaly contempt for jiu jiteu. “It’s all right, if you can get the holds, says John L. Sullivan, “but if the Other fellow's any good he ain't goin’ to let you get them holds on him.” ‘The officials of West Point determined to investigate jiv jitsu and secured a pair of the best experts Japan could furnish. They ex- Plained their theories and illustrated them by tying each other into hard knots. Then a couple of West Point cadets stepped forth and challenged the Japs to wrestle with them. In almost less time than it takes to tell about it, both jiu jitsu experts were laid helpless on their backs. But weight was tn favor of the Americans? Not in this casa Both Japs were larger than the American lads who mastered them. Ta a bout between an American wrestler and a Japanese jiu jitsu expert in Baltimore, in which the Jap got decidedly the worst of it, it was one of thec onuiuons laid down by the latter that his op- Poneat should wear kimono. If one has the right to preseribe the elothing of his oponent the manty art of self-defense or the art of offense would become an extremely simple matter. It might be in- sisted, for instance, that one's opponent, in adition to wearing « » ~ kimono, shonid have his hands tied behind him. Jin fiteu does not appear to be the manly art of self-defense, Dut rather a method of attack by springing upon an unguarded Person and taking a peculiar hold upon his throat or by taking Unawares in some other vulnerable part of the person. T thing might be accomplished by creeping stealthily behin and striking him down with a sandbag. It is to be hoped that the academies at West Point and Annapo- His will waste no more time upon this heathen “sefence.” What is needed there is wholesome physical and mental development, not the acquisition of tricks for unfair advantage. The art of wrestling Is no more necessary In the education of an army or naval officer than it is in the education of a lawyer or doctor. Wrestling has no more place in the military profession than it has in any other. It is not the business of the officer to wrestle. It is desirable for all men, whatever their vocation may be, to b Physically strong and vigorous and able to take care of themselves when attaked. But it is not desirable that young men should be taught an art of attack rather than of defense. Perhaps lots of people dimly imagine that It Is by fia fiten the Japs are defeating the Russians. This is but another of the numer- ous errors regarding this art.

What is to become of those who can’t do it? oe, what? don’t you know that Miss miss eth A. C. White, president of the Dresemakers’ Protective asso- ciation, has come out flat-footed in favor of the new shape? She says the woman who cau't shake off the old kangaroo or military figure might as well go into seclusion. Smart folks cannot possible hare gnything to do with her. What shall the women do? Well, this is what Mra. White weelf says: “With the op ning feason we have a new Paris fash- fon to follow and it is nothing less than a new figure.

He preserved a rigid silence tlil we were clear of the lodge gates, then leaned sud éenly forward and said “Beyond the immediate parpose in view, you and I have nothing in common between us.
