Fight-Loving Women a Menace to the Race of Society
A controversial late 19th or early 20th century column argues prize fights corrupt women and threaten civilization. It contrasts French and English aristocracy at bouts with Roman spectacle and decries female spectators who applaud brutality. The piece warns degeneration if women imitate gladiatorial zeal, calling for civilization through compassion and restraint.

Two Miniature Paintings Stolen From Paris Salon
Special Cable reports two miniature paintings vanished from the Sovere Ges Artistes Praneals salon in Paris. The works, by Mrs Alice Richard Langford Speaight and Mies Ida Frances Lald man, were noticed missing when Paris artist representative MS Lefeuvre Fuel sought them. Officials previously rejected small miniatures in schmial frames and only recently allowed them with a clause to relieve salon authorities of responsibility if lost.

Swiss imports to the United States dropped in June by about 294,000 from June 1918, attributed to inquisitorial methods blamed on Swiss firms. The American commission sent by the Treasury Department reportedly faced refusals to show books, leading to accusations of unreasonably high valuations on Swiss embroideries entering New York.
