In Caroline Lockharts story, The Man From Bitter Roots,' which opens at the Lamara today which William Fox has made into a feature film William Farnum takes the part of a miner, Bruce Burt. He is burly, whole hearted man, who thinks never of himself but always of his duties to those dependent on him.
 Bruce starts out on d hunt for the sister of his former partner in the min ing camp, to give her the share of gold dust due her. In the search he tells his story to another man, T. V. Spru dell (H. A. Barr0ws), who finds the girl, gives her $500, which, he says, is the share due her from the mine, and starts the Bitter Root Mining comS pany for himself.
 Then Bruce turns up. He has learned of the scheme of the unscru- pulous financier. and he is determined to foil it. He has trouble in raising the money to carry through his own Then he finds the girl, tells her the true story, which Sprudell had not done, and forms a partnership with her. They determine to fight Sprudell and regain their rightful ownership ofthe mine
 As d great sacrifice Helen goes to Bruce's father, wealthy ranchman, from whom he has been estranged. The purity and goodness of the girl, and her earnest pleas for the son, win the old man and in the end. father and son are reunited, the Bitter Roots Min ing company is established and Helen becomes general manager of more things than a mine.

 But aside from finance there is something else that prompts Welsh to go through with this twenty round stuff now. That is pride. Welsh right down in his heart does not be- lieve that Charley White or any one else can knock him ort. whether it be in ten or twenty rounds. That's how proud he Is of his fistic ability. So he's going to take the chance to show every bo6y that he Is a real champion on Labor day.
 The champion is some foxy bird, take il from us. He showed that only few days ago when he met that other hitting lightweight. Benny Leon ard. at the Washington Park club in Brooklyn and gave Benny a trimming in ten rounds IL was their second meeting. At the time of their first clash Leonard gave the champion q trimming, SD now they arc even up.

He did so when he met Leonard the first time He was slow and sluggish | action. which gave his younger oppo- nent who was full of pep and strong the chance to outpoint him.
 II is the safest bet in the world that when the champion faces Charley White at Colorado Springs he will be in better condition than he ever ha been since grabbing the crown. He knows he will have to he faster than he ever was for q ten round bout, foi one thing. and he knows that he will have to do lot of training to condi- ton himself for endurance. Condition will be the only big thing when he meets White and the Chicago scrapper will find he will have busy time chasing Freddie to land that left hook CharleS~ may do it. but it won't be easy for him to find that Welsh jaw.

MENTAL TEST URGED
FOR ALL FOREIGNERS
Feeble Mindedness S h o w
Speaker Says All Aliens
Should Be Examined

The economic feasibility, the value in
dollars and cents to the United States, of
a mental test for feeble-mindedness of all
immigrants before allowing them to enter
the country, was emphasized at noon to-
day by DIR. Thomas w. Salmon, of New
York, of the National Mental Hygiene
Committee and the Rockefeller Institute.
He spoke at the Exhibit on Feeble
Mndedness in the Widener Building
Chestnut and Juniper streets, under the
auspices of the Public Charities Assoca-
tion.
"At present." Doctor Salmon said. at
costs the Government just eight cents for
the examination of each and every immi-
grant. That is abSurdly small, and the
mental test, If added as suggested in GER
tain provisions now before Congress.
would cost but eight cents more. Life In
surance companies pay % cents for the
examination of children for a policy of
only $50. The country takes more than
a $50 risk on each immigrant And II
seems to me that we ought to be willing
to spend little more than the eight cents
for risk of admitting the parents of the
future citizens of the Republic
This idea of examining the immigrants
for feeble-mindedness Is only n protection
for the future. For instance, in the States
along the Atlantic immigration is more
important factor in the increase in popula-
ton than the birth rate. Therefore 1t is
as important to select the immigrants as
to select the babies"
Doctor Salmon emphasized the fact that
the proposed mental test did not refer to
the lteracy bill, reading and writing
test.
Placing feeble.minded children in In.
stitutions should not be looked upon as a
punishment, according to DIR. J. NJ Muir

minded at Polk. who also spoke at the
exhibit He showed slides which empha-
sized the fact that an institution is the
logical place for the protection of the
feeble.minded and the community at the
same time.
