One of tho first

WHAT IS JEWELRY?
TAX ELIGIBLES QUERY
Three Per Cent Levy Under War
Schedule Has All Concerned
"Up in the Air"
What Is Jewdr ? Is It a dollar watch,
a hair comb or a shoo bucklo? This U the
Question which many people Interested In
the new war tHx arc trying to fathom,
and which authorities at Washington ara
JflnIte. striving to define.
AccordlnB to the law as It stands, the
statement i- merely made "that any nrtlclo
commonU m commercially known as Jew
elry, whether leal or lmltatlCM," Is taxable
! per cent of the price for which the article
Is Bold This tax Is paid by the manu
facturer producer or Importer, w hlch means
that the price of jewelry will advance on
the retail maiket.
But that brings the Inquirer back to
what Is a definition of Jewelry. If ono
ays It Is only that which Is ornnmental.
this would exclude cheap watches and
would not be fair. Inasmuch as the same
firm ofttimes makes both cheap ones and
the more expensive kind On 'the other
hand, If ilalm Is made that Jewelry Is sim
ply that which Is hold In a Jewelry store,
dealers should be paying taes on statlon
My, cut glats and silverware.
Internal Jbnenuo Collector I.edcrer Is
Unable to shed any light on the situation.
He said toda TI13 authorities at Wash
Joston are working on this teetlon of tho
law at the present time, and until they
hae leached a decision there Is no expla
nation to bo made of it If every district
collector were to put his personal Interpre

nave as munj d'fferent ways of looking at
It as there are districts."

"FIGHTING BOB'S" QUIET
BROTHER PRAISES HIM
"Bill" Fitzsimmons, in Reminis

By M'LISS
How Bob Fltislmmons fought his last
fight In a Chicago hospital was told yes
terday. Today an old painter, with his English
accent as strong as tho smell of tho linseed
oil upon him. perched 'on the fifth rung of
a ladder In a subterranean passageway In
the Drexel Building and Interrupting his
work told how "Bobble," his brother, fought
his first fight.
"Ho was only a Ilttlo nipper then," Bill
Fitzsimmons said proudly, "but ho could
fight. Bobblo was a born fighter. I think
ho wanted to be up to his scrapping from
the day our mother horo him.
"Bobble's first public fWht camo long be
fore he emigrated from whero ho was born,
In Cornwall, Kng , to New Zealand, nnd ho
emigrated when he was nine.
"As near as I can remember, tho little
nipper was nbout live on tho occasion of
his first public appearance," tho brother
continued, his lips twisting with humorous
reminiscence. "Hobblo was tho youngest
of seven sons, nnd ns such ho ought to have
been lucky," the brother paused in dubiety
over tho gieat heavyweight champion's good
fortune; "e.t any rato, he was lucky In
fights.
' The first fight took place In Devonport,
England Our oldest brother belonged to tho
Admiral's fieet. Ho was coxswain, and wo
took tho little nipper up to see him. Five
yenrs old ho Vvns, but he g't away from us.
Wo found him In the mlddlo of the street
holding two fellows almost twlco his size
off
"We look him away and put him to bed
But that was tho start. Ynu can't keep a
good fighter from fighting The little nlppor

nine and stnrtcd In to learn tho blacksmith
trade, but the fight In him was tni strong

but he was a better flghtti
"Bob was an honcm, good-hearted, epen
palmed man," tho brother said In that de
tached fashion that wo uso In discussing
people whoe ways He apart from ours,
"but he had a crowd of hangers-on, leeches
They bled him I don't knew as ha has left
anything much I haven't teen or heard
from lilm for two years that was when ho
came to Philadelphia for somo fight or
other and I went to the station to mee:

"He wasn't like tho Ilttlo nipper he used
to be Wo was strangers, but thai was to

"They say ns how Bobblo married a re
ligious lady, a evangelist." ho pondered,
"and then brrke away from her nnd come
back to her again when ho was dying. 1
don't know about Bobble; I never mot tho
lady, anyway. I" thl3 very proudly
"married a girl back In my own country,
rnmo forty ears now, nnd I brought her
hero and we'ro happy yet. I'm for quiet
and peace."
