GIRL SOCIAL EXILE Pretty Boxer Breaks NoseDisfigured for Life. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29 Boxing among the girls of the Los Angeles high school was put under a ban today, but two devotees of the art, Miss Lauretta Davlin and Miss Fern Powell, declared that despite the eidct, they were still infatuated with the sport. Dr. E. C. Beach, physical director of the city high schools, said it was not the aim of the instructors to turn out a generation of feminine fighters and there was no desire to develop an unusually combative disposition, "which would interfere with the natural lows of the home." "Suppose a pretty girl's nose was broken while boxing," said Dr. Beach. "It probably would mean disfigurement and might seriously injure her social prospects."

Tho man who merely lives in a community to take from it all he can get, without any thought of giving of himself to the betterment and progress of that community, is a positive burden and detriment to society. The city of Richmond has a reputation abroad for the high quality ot its citizenship, which is measured by the institutions it fosters, the enterprises it undertakes and the inve-tments it makes in things that develop character and add to the general culture of its people. This reputation is of much commercial value to our city, as it supplies a sense of security, both moral and financial, to those seeking in vestments, as well as those seeking desirable places of residence. This rerutation has not been purchased with money, but is the result of united effort upon the part of those citizens who have had the public Spirit to give j valuable time and their best thought, ! unselfishlv fnr th ptv'a nrnenwus anil - - . X'- C v prosperity. Perhaps in no period of time in its history, has the city advanced so rapidly, and come to. appreciate the value of development along these lines more than it has the past five or six years. To a very great extent this is the result of the efforts of the Commercial club, an organization in which a number of busy and high minded men have taken the time to consider not only the commercial progress, but have organized enterprises and stimu lated public opinion in the things that gave uplift to the whole community. A city can hardly afford to lose any citizen who is active in labors of this kind because there are too few willing to make the sacrifice, and their places are difficult to fill. Six years ago, Mr. Nettleton Neff came to this city practically a stranger to our people. Something was known of his scholarship, his capacity for organization, his loyalty to his country and his moral qualities and in recognition of these he was appointed to fill out the unexpired term of his predecessor on the board of directors of tho Commercial club.
