(By H. C HAMILTON(United Trss StaflC Corres-rn.lnt.) NEW TORK, Juna 1. Cel. J. C. Miller 1? mistaken in his idea that thro is no public demand for a bout between Fred Fulton and Jess "WIH.ird. There is a public demand for thf hour. But he is mistaken in the belief that 'he public is in favor of a wulely exploited bout between the two bi)t 1Y1lov conducted along: money-making lines exclusively. There is a way to hold this bout entirely to the liking of the- public. If Col. Miller or ?ome on lse can find that way he can stage the fight. But that way is not a moneymaking way. It is the day to make money for the soldier? or for their entertainment. The psychology of the muses that followboxing Is a queer thing:, as Col. Miller undoubtedly has noted. A chamrior.Phip heavy weight flrht Is similar to a red flag: when waved In front of ths

( milk and water population with which ' boxini; i ; In ilisfaor. Any other bout may b? held in perfect safety, but the instant some heavyweight champion come.- alontr and announces he is Ko;nK to tight some one for the title, it beI come? a horrid thins:. And the followers of hoxinj? generally are content to ; let it go at that. I An instance of thin kind was recorded a short time nfo when St. I'aul and Minneapolis worked themselves Into a frenzy over the proposed bout between . Willard and Fulton, hut sat placidly when Hilly Miske and Jack Dempsey, j the two most prominent heavyweight inside from AVillard and Fulton, mixed

in a ten round Ko at St. Paul. There was no difference between the two mills, except that a championship would have been at stake with AVlll&rd in the ring. As a matter of fact the bout between Dempsey and Miske probably was more fiercely fought thRn a "Willard-Fulton

go would have been.

Your Gar and Your Cause Every business man in this broad land is today working for Uncle Sam. There are no longer any personal enterprises. No matter what your line of wcrk may be, you are cevotir-g your time, your energies, and a large share of your profits to the winning of a great war. In dedicating ourselves to so huge a task, we must call upon every resource that is available. At home as on the firing line our vital problem of transportation can be very largely solved by the motor car and motor , truck. With vast supplies moving to the seaboard, it becomes a patriotic duty to travel by the road and thus release railway equipment for the government. The hustling executive must have the right of way he must swing down the line on high gear he must realize that the time saving automobile is essential to his success and the cause which he champions. And now just a word about our product. The Paige is merely one of America's high grade motor cars, but we are proud of the part that it is playing in this national crisis. In the field of mechanical products, the Paige nameplate stands as an unques tioned guarantee of honest inariufacturing and fair dealing. We ask you to buy that nameplate rather than four wheels and a painted body. We ask you to buy a reputation that has endured through many fitful periods in the motor car industry a reputation that will endure so long as Paige cars are made for and sold to the American people.
