Joy In the Johnson camp as a result
Of the announcement that Billy De

ness 10 prepare him for the crucinl
battle Of his career This belIef is
based on the fact that not only can
Delaney give him the fruits of forty
years of ring experience. but that

able to give Johnson many priceless
pointers about Jeffrles style of fight,

The advent OF Tom Flanagan into

ter OF great satisfaction to the negro's
supporters. Flanagan, who trained

which the fighter regards as one OF
the most essential features of his
training.
Delaney broached a suggestion to
Promoter Tex RIcknrd yesterday that
finds favor with the fans. His proposal
IS to invite lem Mace. the one-time
champion OF England. and Bill Clark.
another veteran prgilist now living In
ST Louis. TO box three one-minute
rounds "a curtain raiser TO the big

would revive an historic custom by
having Mace and Clark shy castor5 in

DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH

Washington, D. c.. May 25.-Con-
gress always approaches the creation
Of a new department OF the govern
ment with cautious deliberation, 1t
is prejmdlced against such projects
largely In the belief that they tend TO
Increase the payrolls and because
scattered appropriations for bureaus In
different departments do not bulk so
largely before the public eye as when
combined Consequently the Ameri-
can Medical Association and the other
advocates OF tho owen bill which Gre
ates the Department OF Public
Health" are not finding its path as
smooth as they would like. Yet, as
the necessity for such department is
obvious and the demand is practically
unanimous, there is little question that
eventually this or some similar bill
will pass. II is claimed that 100000
people die each year and 100000 arc
sick from proventable diseases. II
would appear that the conservation OF
their health and lives is as Import
ant as that OF an equal number of
farm animals.
Without infringing upon the duties
and functions OF the states henlth de-
partments, It is recognized that there
arc many matters requiring handling
on q large and extended scale and
often involving states rights. juris-
diotlons and responsibilities that re-
quire federal supervision, Those bu-
reaus now engaged iD such work are
accomplishing much within their lin
stations, but 1t is often delicate task
10 determine their scope and powers.
especially when their functions clash
or their work overlaps as is often
the case. One OF the anomalies pre-
sented is the charging OF the enforce
ment of the pure food law upon the
Secretary OF Agriculture. whose de-
partment has otherwise nothing to do
with the questions involved. Congress
did this because OF the fact that the
Department of Agriculture was the
only one which had bureau OF chom-
istry equipped for the purpose. Other.
Wise the work would have been IL
trusted TO the Department of Com
mercc and Labor. the Department of
the Interior, or the Treasury Depart
ment, any of which would be more
suitable On this point the brief OF
the American Medical Association
says. Individually the present bur
eaus and other sanitary and medical
agencies perform their ordinary func'
lions satisfactorily. but with auch lack
OF cooperation as to greatly mar re-
suits, whilc in the emergency of cpl
denies or in dealing with vast inter
ests where the strain OF commercial
pressure falls upon them, they almost
uniformly fall or arc greatly crippled
In their sanitary functions This is the
history OF even so strong a movement
as that OF the enforcement of the pure
food and drugs act"
