Back in 1870 Mr. Eaton had but four employees. By 1874 the num- ber had increased to 14, in 1878. twenty-five; and 1848. forty-eight. In 1884 the company issued its first Eaton catalogue, and in 1886 the first elevator was installed.

therleu and psnniless, is simply amazing It is an example which should inspire any ambitious young man.

The homesickness of a youth in England was responsible for the in- vention of telegraphy. The youth was as you already know, Samuel Morse. Far from his puents and home in the United States he wrote, as many a boy has written, a first letter to his mother stating how lonesome he was. when he was an old man he dug up that letter yeilow with age. and. wrote across it: "I was longing for s telegraph even when I wrote this letter."

Grit has put many a fellow at the top. '

Take. for example. Robert Fulton. that pioneer shipbuiider who achie- ved undying fame before he shuffl- ed off this mortal coil" at the com- paratively early age of fifty.

It is an amazing thing that this self-educated man, should have done so much for the benefit of his fellows. By his restless energy he was able to master the French. Italian and German languages, in addition to mathematics, physics and chemistry!

By making good use of his spare moments William 1-fesketh lover- or Viscount Leverhuime as he was later known-litterly washed the whole human race with soap.

When William Lever married his salary was only as a. week. When he decided he'd like to go into the soap business his father loaned him the money or a part of it. In or- der to repay the loan young Icver worked like a slave. By five o'- clock he was ready to begin the day's work. Silccess did not come at once, but young Lever would admit no defeat. Then the walls of Jerico fcll before his persistant knocking. and the great Lever soap empire began to take shape. Boon factories were opened in all the leading countries of the world and the boy who used to wash windows and deliver parcels for 85 a week had become a. wealthy and influen- tial man.

He was created a baronet in 1911 and became Sir William Lever: in 1917 he was made Lord Lever- hulme and in 1921, Viscount Lever- hulme. These great honors came to William Lever not because he had amassed a huge fortune. but rather because of his spirit of gentleness, kindness, and consideration for others, and above all, because he made use of all his spare moments.

Rhubarb At

By MURRAY ROSE

ST. IDUIS. Dec. 17-(AP)-A threat by challenger Archie Moore's manager ”toNcali the fight off", a double weigh-in for champion Joey Maxim. a faulty scale and lots of screaming enlivened the weigh-in today for tonight's 15-roundiight- heavyweight tit-ie scrap.

About one hour and 40 minutes after the weighing ceremony was to have taken place. it was an- nounced the ”oi1'iclal" weights of the gladiators were 1'i4'A for Maxim and Hay, for Moore.

The bout was scheduled to start at 9 p.m. CST (10 p.m. EST), with a coast-to-coast television and broadcast hook-up. The St. Louis area was blacked out of the tele- oast.

After once threatening to call the fight off, Chsirley Johnston, Mooreia manager, calmed down and declared "The fight'e on. At. ter all we're shooting for the title, alnit we?"

One observer who watched the entire rhubarb said: "If the flght's as good as the weigh-in it ought to be a corker."

Demands Inspection

The confusion started when Johnston noticed that the scales were not sealed and insisted that he would not permit his 36-year- old challenger to weigh in unless the scales were tested and ap- proved by the city's weights and measures experts.

The weight men were summon. ed. But when they didn't arrive by 12:58 pm. Jack (Doc) Kearns, manager of the champ, insisted that Maxim be weighed immedi- ately. Commissioner Charley Plan of the Missouri Athletic Commis- sion agreed.

Maxim then tipped the beam at exactly 1'15-the division limit. Johnston, however, declared that Moore would not weigh in until the scales were checked and that Maxim would have to weigh once more. Kearns turned to Plan and asked: "Maxim's weight is official, ain't it?"

Plan said yes. Kearns ordered Maxim to dress.

At 1:15 p.m. the weight men ar- rived aind started checking the scales.

After much tinkering, they said the scales were one-half pound light. and that Maxim's actual. Weisht was 1-:5y,. Later, it turned out they meant the opposite-that the scales were one-half pound heavy. When Maxim weighed 1'75 it actually meant he weighed 17495, said the men.

When Moore was weighed in at l'72',&. Johnston insisted that Max- im be weighed again. The champ already had started to dress and had swallowed some beef tea. Kearns said Maxim would not weigh again.

"Then the fight's off". screamed Johnston. He and Plan engaged in a shouting match. Finally Kearns permitted Maxim to step on the scales again and he weighed 1'14!-2 pounds.

After reluctantly accepting the weights as official, Johnston yelled to Plan "It's a cinch we're not go- ing to get the best of it tonight".

formed it is the ancient privilege of the Duke of Newcastle, who now lives in southern Rhodesia, the court added.

The Court is an official learned body which is making the final rulings on details of the corona- tion next Jdne 2.

The London and Fort George Land Company thought it had a case for presenting the Queen with a glove for her right hand. and for supporting the arm which carries the sceptre.

Such services have long been the privilege of coronations of the Dukes of Newcastle. The com- pany's claim was based on the fact

The court held the royal arm must be supported by a living duke and that a stock company. no matter who owns it. Simply does not qualify.

of the promoting International Boxing Club, disclosed that Moore was being guaranteed 3100.000 and that the radio-television money amounted to s50,000. Moore, he said, was to get 10 per cent of the net receipts.

Norris said that 372,000 already was in the till and "with the weather so good (it was warm and sunny) we should do between :90,- ooo and s1oo,ooo."

He also disclosed that there was a return contract between the fighters, guaranteeing Maxim a shot Within 60 days if he lost.

The odds yaried all day and more changes were expected before right time. Moore was the favor- ite at odds ranging from.'l to 5 to 2 to 1 to grab the title on his first try.

It was the .third title defence for the 30-year-old Maxim, who won the crown neanly three years ago from Freddie Mills.
