PERFECT BOY OF 3 A BOXER
This Sturdy Atlanta Youngster

by Professor F. B. Magee. Atlanta’s
Muldoon, wound up right in Professor
Magee’s own home at Cascade Springs
And the youngster In question is Ber

but they have not yet come under Pro
fessor Magee’s observation. For Ber
narr Magee is the product of a careful
system of athletic training that has ex
tended from the kiddo’s second month
until the present time.
Right now Bernarr is a trained ath
lete. He can box. wrestle, balance on
his father’s shoulders, throw somer
saults that , would be a credit to Ring
ling’s, and at the age of two years and
a half could hold a 50-pound weight off
the ground by the grip of his hands.
His Development Amazing.
The measurements here given indi
cate the result of this lad’s amazing
development. He Is 2 1-2 inches over
the average height for his age, he
weighs three pounds more than the av
erage child of four years. And his mus
cles would do credit to an average child
of five.
At the request of The Georgian, Pro
fessor Magee has prepared some rules
for the development of children of three
years old and thereabouts. They are:
1. Put up a small horizontal bar, on
which the child can work. He will In
vent his own exercises there.
2. Encourage the boy to turn somer
saults. It is a natural trick of children
and one they enjoy.
3. Go through regular light calisthe
nics with the boy. The sort of exer
cises are not material. Books on the
subject are readily obtainable.
Teach the Boy Boxing.
4. Remember, you must take the ath
letic work along with the child. There
Is no chance in the world that he will
do it by himself.
5. Teach the lad the first rudiments
of boxing. Get a set of boxing gloves,
teach the child the correct position,
how to clench the fist, and the ele
ments of hitting and defense. Os
course, at three a child picks up but
little, but it learns self-control and gets
a start that may afterward enable ft to
defend Itself.
6. Club swinging is an attractive
amusement for small children. They
should start with clubs weighing a
quarter of a pound. They rapidly learn
the simple movements.
7. See that the child has plenty of
baseballs and a football. This encour
ages outdoor exercise and gives them
exercise In away that Is particularly

attractive to them. The ball is the nat
ural plaything for the child.
8. Do all of the physical development
work possible OUTDOORS. When out
door work Is not possible, be sure that
it Is done with windows and doors open,
so that plenty of fresh air is available.
Exercise without fresh air is almost
worse than no exercise.
These rules apply equally well for
girls and boys. Even boxing is a first
class exercise for girls. Professor Ma
gee has a small daughter who is clever
with the gloves and who can give her
brothers a stiff argument over the
Queensberry route.
It is quite possible that some parents
in Atlanta have developed their chil
dren even better than Bernarr Magee
has been developed. The thing could
happen. If you know a child or have a
child that stacks up more nearly per
fect, let The Georgian know about it.

begged for his release from police head
quarters. where he is being held on
suspJcion of complicity in the robbery

na, Ga.
At an early hour this morning. Fitts
was found semi-conscious in his room
at the hotel. An ambulance and a phy
sician from the Grady hospital was
summoned. His condition was found not
to be serious.
Later he was arrested bv Patrolmen
Turner and Perry, on a suspicion of
complicity in the Jones robbery and
assault. His arrest followed the finding
of the following note In Fitts’ room at
ths hotel:
Denies Knowledge of Robbery.
“I can no longer stand to live.
God alone knows my pain. As He is
my judge, I tlnow nothing of the
depot robbery. I love you all.
Good-bye.
“BEN."
Upon his recovery, Fitts declared he
had written the latter believing he was
going to die as a result of the over
dose of medicine he hud taken. He said
he did not wish to die under suspicion,
as he understood two detectives were
looking for him. He declared he is in
nocent of the Jones robbery, and hoped
bis letter would explain. He denied he
had attempted suicide.
Fitts said at police headquarters that
he was with Jones Monday, but did not
see him* Monday night. Ho said he
had been in Atlanta on a visit for five
days, and that he has a wife in Bir
mingham, whom he did not want to be
lieve he was a party to the Jones rob
bery.
Tslls of Taking Medicine.
He said he became ill Tuesday, that
he went to a drug store and bought a
box of white tablets, that he was told
to take one every hour until eight had
been taken, and that he misunderstood
the directions and took eight at one
time. His Illness became more severe
during the night, and he said he wrote
he note When he believed he was about
to die.
The physician from the Grady hos
pital said the box of medicine did not
contain a label, and that he did .not
know what, ft had contained, nor where
it had been purchased.
Despite Fitts’ declaration ot inno
cence and his motive for writing the
letter which led to his arrest, he will
be held in custody until the case has
been investigated further.
Jones now is at the Cannon hotel,
not having recovered from injuries re
ceived in the assault upon him by per
sons who robbed him of $165 while tak

VOCALISTS TO AID
111 GDlffiOT FOR
XMAS FUND
i Triple Band Will Be Feature of
Big Musical at the Grand
Theater Sunday.
By Evelyn Wren
Nothing since the Empty Stocking
Fund was opened has promised such a
substantial addition to the fund as the
offer of Atlanta musicians to give a
whole Sunday afternoon for the poor
children. The concert next Sunday aft
ernoon at the Grand should fill the big
theater easily and bring in a harvest of
money to buy Christmas gifts for the
hundreds of little folks who otherwise
would be forgotten on Christmas morn
ing.
the announcement yesterday of
the Sunday concert the Christmas Ed
itor has received numerous offers of
assistance by talented singers, and the
complete program soon will be made
public.
Miss .Margherita Carter has prom
ised to sing, and "The Singing Mar
tins,’ a grand opera act, will give sev
eral numbers. The Martirfk are sing
ing at the Montgomery theater, but Mr.
Montgomery consented readily to per
mit them to appear at The •Georgian's
concert.
Record Band to Play.
The band will be the biggest and best
which has played in Atlanta in years.
It will, in fact, be three bands com
bined, the Fifth regiment, under C. E.
Harber; the Wcdemeyer, under Fred
Wedemeyer, conductor, and Matthies
sen’s combined band and orchestra, un
der Jake Mattliiessen. The threa con
ductors will lead the triple band for
two numbers each.
The concert was offered for the
Christmas fund by the local union of
tile American Federation of Musicians,
and the use of the Grand is given free
of charge by Manager Hugh Cardoza.
Every cent contributed by the audience
will go toward making hundreds of poor
children happy on Christmas morning
• —Just a week from
No tickets Will be sold All who coms
will be welcome, but a collection will be
taken and every auditor is expected to
contribute something, a little or a lot, to
help fill the stockings next Wednesday.
Rich's Girls Aid Fund,
No more striking evidence of the
wide appeal which The Georgian’s
Christmas fund is making has been
furnished than the action today of girls
in the corset department of Rich’s store
who raised $lO from among their none
too easily, earned savings. That $lO
will go a long way toward providing a
bright Chrlstmafc morning for more
than one Atlanta youngster, and if the
Empty Stocking Fund had done noth
ing except giving the opportunity for a
display of this sort of spirit it would
have been well worth while.
Let’s Make Every Kiddie Happy.
You who crawled out ot a cozy bed
this morning and looked out from a
warm room into the rain outside said to
yourselves:
"Nasty, dreary day! Gloomiest I ever
saw! ”
Bui it was not half so gloomy and
cheerless as next Wednesday morning
will be to the children whose stockings
hang empty by the chimney; the chil
dren whom Santa t’laus forgot.
The Christmas Editor has received
more than $l,lOO to help brighten the
day for these little brothers and sisters
of all of us, but the list of the poor is a
long one —longer than the list of con
tributions. More is needed—a great
deal more—to carry happiness on
Christmas morning to the children the
Christmas Editor knows.
Filling Empty Stockings Now.
But a few days remain. The Christ
mas shopping for the Empty Stockings
lias begun. The packages must be made
up next Monday and Tuesday. After
that it will be too late.
The li.-t of contributors still is open,
and the t'hristmns Editor would like to
add a hundred names to it today and
another hundred each day this week.
A letter w ith a check or a note will he
the best way; a telephone message to
the Christmas Editor is next best.
Big Stores Help.
Several stores of Atlanta will aid.
the fund materially in providing’goods
for the poor who will be helped at cost
price or less. Among them are Keely’s,
Rich’s and tip McClure establishments.
This is an unnatural con
dition —a little rdst each day
and Scott’s Emulsion after
every meal gives nature the
material to restore strength.
Scott’s Emulsion is a
strength-building, curative
food and tonic to overcome
weakness and fatigue- contains
no alcohol or drug.
It doesn't stupefy the
nerves, it feeds them.
Expectant and nursing mothers
always need Scott's Emulsioft.
