Swaim Downed Marlin Tn Clever Match Saturday.

Glenn Swaim, of Parr, surprised mat fans last Saturday night when he defeated Everett Marlin in straight falls at the Elilis theatre. This was the first time that Marlin had ever been defeated before a local crowd and the defeat came as a great surprise to him. However, he was not in the best of condition, having wrestled the previous Monday and Tuesday. No credit should be taken from Swaim, for he was willing to mix matters at dll times and gave the crowd lots of action. The first fall came after ten minutes of fast work, when Swaim procured a hammerlock, forcing Marlin to quit. The second fall took but five minutes, Marlin again giving up, when Swaim fastened a toe hold on him. The crowd was the largest of the season. Freddie Hall threw Elmer Smith, of Parr, in the preliminary. Following the main bout of the evening, Hall and Jess Marlin gave a five-minute exhibition without a fall.

Villa and Zapata Unite With Diaz in New Rebellion.

El Paso, Tex., March I.—Felix Diaz, nephew of the former Mexican president, Porfirio Diaz, who is said to have landed on the east coast of Mexico to launch a new revolt, has effected an understanding with Zapata and the followers of Villa, according to friends of the latter here. A junta, it was stated, had been established here, but federal officers who examined a number of refugee Mexicans suspected of being inters ested in the movement, said they were unable to secure definite information concerning its operations. Villa followers frankly declared that their leader would willingly cooperate with Diaz. Villa previously had an understanding with Zapata. Villa’s principal desire, they said, was to, overthrow Carranza and he would give or accept any aid in accomplishing that purpose. If Diaz has sufficient financial backing, they declared, his revolt would success. If not, it would fail.

WANTS VOTE ON WARNING RESOLUTIONS

President Delays Wasp Negotiations Until a Real Decision is Reached —Upsets Congress. Washington, March I,—President Wilson served notice on congress tonight that he will consent to nothing less than a record vote on the antiadministration resolutions to warn Americans off the armed ships of European belligerents before he goes on with the German submarine negotiations. No compromise proposition, sucn as a vote of confidence in the president’s foreign policy, will be accept able. Such an action, it is held, might be construed in Berlin as justifying the opinion that the president lacks the support of congress and his own party. • The president absolutely refuses to continue the negotiations with Germany until the attitude of congress is settled.

A Tip For the Ladies.

Lafayette Journal. South Bend wives now know how to hold the love of their husbands and as news of a good thing rap • ■iriy it will not be long until every Hoosier wife will be in possession of a secret that* is calculated to discour age the activity of the divorce mills and prevent hubby from permitting his mind to wander too freely to a consideration of the charms of other females. ~ A woman lecturer slipped the South Bend ladies the tip and we are inclined to thinik that she is more than hails right in her logic. The secret may be told in two words, “perk up.” Of course she went into details and suggested that the best way to prevent divorces, and smoothe the matrimonial road was for the fair one to acquire silk stockings, a few fancy clothes, and make herself as attractive as possible. „ “Do Silk stockings and low necks cause divorces?” the lecturer asked, and then answered her own question. “Not by a long shot. There'd be fewer divorces and affinities if the wives would wear them, together with other fancy regalia. All the men like them.”

That woman is some judge of masculinity, and she knows what is the matter in a lot of homes where love has ceased to abide, or at least make itself very conspicuous. There is too much of an inclination to let down, to become careelss, after a few years of married life. Perhaps those years have not been as rosy as the dreams of the girl had pictured them, but she is risking a lot when she fails to do "everything possible to make herself attractive in the eyes of her husband and in the-eyes of other men. Without intending disloyalty to his wife, .there isn’t a man who does not secretly wish that she looked as good as Blank’s wife, when they are out in public; he likes to see her wear the new styles and the pretty things, so far as he is able to provide them, and the woman who gets the notion into her head that just because she is married and has a legal hobble on John that she can afford to neglect her personal appearance is making a serious mistake. John may not kick over the traces in a violent manner but ydu can take it from one who knows men that he notices the difference. And when you see a man’s gaze following a wellgroomed woman on the street, or the theatre, or the church, it does not necessarily follow that he is always guilty of covetousness. Admiration of a woman may be as free of evil as admiration for any other beautiful thing, but the woman who “don’t

care how she looks” isn’t going to get a great deal of attention from any man. " ; ' -If the lady readers of this column Will see to it that other men admire them they may rest assured that hubby is /going to 'be a lot more attentive. This may not mean that they are to be flirtatious or unwomanly, but merely to give, so far as possible, that attention to theirs personal appearance that they did before they assumed the responsibilities of matrimony. We decline to enter into a discussion of the details of proper apparel. for the woman who wants to look well; she knows what is best suited to her type, but in the interest of morality and Ijeauty and loyal affection, we are ready, to lend endorsement to the utterances of the lecturer who advised her hearers to “perk up.”

Reynolds Triumphs Over Our, High School Quintet 19 to 15.

The local high school lost to Reynolds high school Wednesday night in the poorest exhibition of basketball that has been given on the local court. Rensselaer was unable to display any team work and their shooting for baskets was miserable. The first half ended 10 to 5 in favor of Rensselaer and it was thought that the team would fairly walk away from Reynolds the second half, for it was only started when Rensselaer had four more points. The change came and Reynolds roiled up their score to 19 points while our boys added one point to their column. This game was the last one of the season. At first it was thought the team would be sent to Gary to take part in the district meet, but this has been abandoned because of he poor showing of the team. The team this year has won five games and lost four. However, we can not kick on the team too much, for they are unusually small, some of their best players have been out of the game because of sickness or because they were ineligible, and the support this year has been very poor. Few teams can win on support like that given at the last game. We hope that athletics are not losing out in Rensselaer although such seems to be the case.
