FAILED That even conservation needs to be carried out with some degree of care is shown `by a recent experience hi France. Matches are so scarce there that their sale is' a state mon- opoly, the Government doling them out at a rate of .a cent ' a score or thereabouts, and not guaranteeing them to .strike on the box or indeed, anywhere else, At the present time Paris is annoyed over the appearal►ce of a particular brand, In which, though it "strikes," 'ei'ghteen times out of twenty, the flame fails to fire the. wood. Complaints have beeen so general that the authorities instituted . an inquiry into the cause, when it Was discovered that some one infatu ated with the craze for utilizing every form of waste had supplied the matchmakers with loose ends from • a shop where military huts were con- structed. It was commendable enough thus to. work 'up the stumps, but no one had' remembered that the timber had been impregnated to render it- fireproof. TRAPPING SPIES BY INSIGNIFICANT DETAILS In the good old days and in a pioneer state of civilization a harder- er or thief after - committing- his crime would dis ppear in the woods, and easily lose himself. He was self-sustaining. His weapons and skill would previde him with food. of Itis long tramps, and if he could keep out of sight for a few clays his -chance of going scot free was excellent. But as civilization has developed it is by no means• possible for a man to live quite to himself, and while modern iniprovemen land devices have to - some extent assisted criminals, they have even more greatly assisted those whose business it is to frustrate or pursue them. his generation will not soon forget fiat one' of the most thrilling uses to which the newly - invented Marconi system was put was to cause the arrest of Dr. Crippen, who had fled from England. Fred C. Kelly, who has been writing for the New York Tribune a serifs of articles upon the .machinations of German spies in the United States, cites some interesting cases showing how the trivial incidents of daily life in the Twentieth Century betrayed criminals and plotting enemies. The public libraries of large cities proved an admirable net early in the war. If it was observed that a reader asked for books dealing with the subject of radio telegraphy or explosives, a note was made of the fact, and if this curiosity remain- ed unslaked and was allied to a for- eign . accent, the matter was com- municated to the police. Then an officer would wait upon the student and he would be asked to explain his interest in such matters. Fail- ing to do so he would be interned. Several German -Americans were put in internment camps because of their intense- desire to read every- thing ever written to prove the right- eousness of the German cause. Sev- eral others, who had taken to cover when the officers were on their tracks and could not resist the temptation of whiling away the long hours in the public libraries where they could read their favorite authors, were caught by,. sleuths, who were aware of their reading habits. Others were caught by tracing their children from one school to another. In the days of Jesse James, neither public libraries nor public schools betrayed the man for whom the authorities were looking. While the automobile has been made use of by criminals on thous- ands of occasions, and has enabled them to commit the boldest of mur- ders and robberies and escape more than once, it has resulted in their downfall. One might soon after the United States had .entered the war, a good American citizen was .walking the floor struggling with asthma. He noticed an automobile from which two men alighted and moved off mysteriously. Three hours later the car was still there, and as the spot was near a munitions plant, ° he thought well to advise the police. He was able to give them his im- pressions of the color of the car, which corresponded with that used by a large taxicab company. The police investiga1cd, found' a car which had remained for three hours - waiting for passengers, and from the chauffeur, learned the hotel where he had picked up his fares. By a waiter they were later on identified and eventually placed under arrest. No chauffeur or waiter ever bothered Dick Turpin.. Perhaps he was too good a tipper. The modern system of cheques and drafts has also led to the down- fall of enemies of the state. Money is a vital item, and the Germain agent could not move far without it. But ordinarily he would not carry a great sum on his person. Perhaps he had to vanish so quickly that he did not have • time adequately to equip himself. In this -case be would have to land in a strange city and get a friend to cash cheques for him. The banks throughout the war co-operated heartily with the police, and any disturbance of a suspected man's bank account would at once put the police. on his trail.' Other German agents were detected from the fact that they were able to spend more money than their salaries war- ranted; and others because they were making bank deposits and in- vestfnents out of proportion to their known .earnings. Another flypaper for `the Kaiser's agents proved to be the hotel registers of the country. There is not only a particular German way of form;n;r letters, as Sherlock Holmes pointed out in "A Study in Scarlet," but there are constant idiosyncracies of penman.,hip that are by no means concealed by the use of concealed names.

At any rate he was qualified to teach the boy. Mr. Hurdman- Lucas holds the Aristotelian theory that all knowledge is' born in one, and that Georges merely needed to have his lore on the subject "draw - ed out," as he says. His ring debut was made when he was thirteen years old andweighed less than 100 „ pounds.. His victim was an alleged pugilist travelling with a little cir- cus who used to curdle the blood of audiences by his challenges, prob- ably a rum -soaked rubber of some fourth -rate boxer. But he was -hewn- i U er and bigger than "the mere chit 1' a boy," as Mr. Lucas calls him, and the fact that he was knocked out at- tracted local attention. Several • others of the same tribe were polish- ed off in quick order by the lad, and Descamps believed this kind of prac- ; tice was extremely useful to his pro- tege. His first engagement of any im- portance was with Kid Salmon, : whom the author speaks of respect- 1 fully as "the redoubtable" and itmay be said here the jiames of nine -tenths • ,w Incorporated in 1855 CAPITAL AND' RESpRVE $9,000,000 Over 120 Branches The Molsons Bank BUSINESS SERVICE Many of our'Customers who started in a small way, have now a well established business through the assistance and co-operation of this Bank over a period of years.

Cakes and other ferocious sluggers whore he mentions are unknown to fame, But Salmon, an Englishman, - had challenged all France at his weight, and in vain until Descamps matched Carpentier with him, and at that time `the ,notion that a French- man could lick an Englishman seem- ed a mere fantasy. The fight took place when Carpentier - was fourteen years old, and to everyone's amaze- ment' the frail child more than held his own until the thirteenth round, when Salmon was disqualified on a foul. Six weeks later they met again and this time in the twelth round a sponge was- tossed into the ring on .Georges' behalf, and greatly to his indignation. Indeed, we are inform- ed that Descamps had to carry hien struggling and kicking from the ring. It was in this fight that Mr. Hurd - man -Lucas first saw Georges. - The next three or four years saw Georges growing from a flyweight to a lightweight, then to a welterweight, and finally to a :Middleweight and light heavyweight, which is what he is called to -day. His successes were by no means unbroken. Several times he met defeat, but only once was he knocked out, and then by a Frenchman named Gloria, the best man of his weight in France. He began .to meet Englishmen of some . note, anti usually won, the result be - jag to warn old Albion, as the writer says, -that "the foreign yoke was knocking at the door!' He lost to several Americans, including the Dixie Kid, Frank Klaus, who taught him the art of in -fighting which hitherto had been absent from his repertoire, and: Billy Papke. He then fell back on Englishmen and beat Bandsman Rice, Gunner Wells and finally Joe Beckett. Many of his de- feats were moral victories, since they all showed his absolute gameness, and he learned from every battle. It is said that he is never hurt twice by the same blow. Just what chance he is likely to have with Dempsey several thousands of Toronto people may judge for themselves to -night. Certainly he has the best wishes of every sol- dier not only in Europe and in Can- ada but also in the United States. never troubled by hotel registers. There is a case where a Gerinan spy was caught because of • his fail- ure to tip the baggeman who had to grapple with a particularly heavy 'trunk. There is another case, • cited in the interest of frugality, of a German agent being caught because i his tip was too munificent. Another was able to- dispose of a trunkful of incriminating documents in a storage warehouse, where it was safely hid- , den, but he did not like to throw away the receipt, in view of the imminent arrival of the German fleet in -New York harbor. This settled him. Sev- eral were interned because of their failure to remember what sort of weather it was on a certain night. When questioned about their move- ments they answered well, but made the mistake of reporting long motor rides over roads that were made im- passable because of storms. One obnoxious German agent was picked.. up after he had been in hiding for some time because he could not resist the lure of a certain movie, star. Cap- tain Kidd came to no bad end because of the movies: We'll say he didn't. • HERE IS THE STORY OF GEORGES CARPENTIER In "radii Pit' Boy to Champion Boxer," the biography of Georges Carpentier, written by Mr. F. Hurd - man -Lucas, we learn that the French fighter was born in what his enthusi- astic Boswell calls the "obscure min- ing town of Lens" in the year. 1894,0 and is now something short of twenty- six years old. As a writer we con- sider .Mr. Hurdman-Lucas to be a clever boxer or something, but at least he appears to have first-hand knowledge of • what he tries to write about. He was the first Englishman to recognize that Carpentier was something out of .the common, and was -the time -keeper in the• boy's first important match in Paris. He men- tions that Georges' parents were of the peasant class, and that the boy was sent to work in the mines when he was twelve years old. He has al- so the theory that the_ lad's physical prowess was derived from his grand- father, who was a man of unisual strength and above. the ordinary stature, while his parents appear to have been nothing out of the common. Francois Deseamps, who later was to win fame and fortune as Carpen- tier's manager, had. recently opened a boxing and athletic -academy in the town, and here the lad used to resort on every- opportunity. Though of frail build he was unusly sym- metrical and Descamps, a good judge, thought the lad might make a 'gym- gast. He gave him some acrobatic lessons but soon perceived that he had a natural bent for boxing. He had not only the grace and speed, but•he had the fighting instinct. The quickness with which he came to skilfully use the "mufflers," which Mr. Lucas has apparently nicknam- ed . the- boxing gloves, delighted Descamps, and presently he arrang- ed with Georges' parents that the boy should quit the mine and be- come a pugilist. Georges was then Feel the c urge of Abounding Youth Age is sickness -gradual disinte- gration of the tissues which com- prise your vital organs -your nerves, heart, liver, kidneys, brain.
