"Professor" Harry Gilmore (1854-1942) taught boxing at his Chicago school after a successful ring career during which he became Canadian Lightweight Champion. BoxRec bout list. Cyber Boxing Zone page with more photos of him.

That's quite a hairline!

This could be the German physician who argued in 1912 that tight skirts were producing a generation of knock-kneed women and should be made illegal. See query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C00E4DD103AE633A...

The Sunday Oregonian, June 16, 1912, SECTION FIVE, Image 70 used this photo with the caption: "Dr. Karl Francke does not say limbs and feet; he says legs and knees. According to him, the knees of women bow inward because women swathe their legs in interfering garments like the hobble skirt. Dressmakers scoff at the scientific opinion and say that woman is no more knock-kneed than she was in the days of hoop." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1912-06-16/ed-1/se...

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Jewish People and History - Ancient and Modern, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Does anyone know what a "Jewish New Year Parade" is? As far as I know there is no such thing, and a google search got me nowhere (except back here)! Maybe they mean Tashlikh or maybe Jews at a parade on 1 January!?
Helene Smith said:
i have never heard of this before, either... very curious... i will do some hunting when i can, too...
Ari Hahn said:
Probably a misnomer. The photographer or person cataloging it noted many people dressed up and walking in the same direction (to the synagogue) and called it a parade.
Lanterna said:
Building is too windowed for a warehouse - maybe a factory or even a school. There's a wall plaque just before the right border; maybe with sufficient resolution it could be read. Agree that 'parade' is misnomer/misinterpretation, but Sept 12, 1912 was indeed the beginning of Rosh Hashonah. They must have been on the way to services..
