in that policy would be the right kind

An adequate merchant marine, Mr..
James urged, is our third immediate
need. Mr. James held that definite
policy OF encouragement TO foreign
commerce, lis natural and necessary
complement to an intelligent tariff
policy"
As nation. Mr.. James said. the
United States had learned from the
war that at its outbreak we were, in
a military sense, without defenses,
that we were industrially dependent
on Europe for some of the necessities
of our national life and that we were
dependent on Europe for means of get
ting out or into the United States,
owing to scarcity of our ships. II the
war had been on sea and not on
land. he declared, eve would have
experienced a panic the like of which
it would be difficult TO find in all his

TO join one or the other OF the parties

Mr.. James discussed child labor, in

cation of immigrant children to the
duties and privileges of American
citizenship and similar subjects.

II is not so hard as the more typical
magnesite, and it crumbles more rapid
ly on exposure to the weather.
The deposit is included between
tilted beds of conglomerate and sand
stone below and shale above. The
lower contact is sharply defined, but
the magnesite grades off into the over
lying beds. The purer part of the
deposit consists OF beds aggregating at
least 200 feet in thickness. Within
the section of purer material there
are few bands of sandy matter, but
there are minor in amount and APP
parently almost negligible, as tl'ev
could undoubtedly be avoided in min
ing. The whole section lies in the
softer beds lap up against uniform
slope of the sandstone and conglome-
rate that has northeasterly dip o.
30 to so degrees.
The region in which the deposit lies
is in large part covered with alluvial
wash, which conceals most of the bed
rock formations, so that the section
including the magnesite is exposed at
only few places where streams have
cut down through the everything de-
posits. The regularity of the exposed
section and the continuity of the hard
ed beds, which project through the
surface wash, justify the assumption
that the magnesite is practically con
tinuous between exposures and for
considerable distances beyond. rs
length at the surface seems to be 4
mile at least.
Unlike most other deposits of mag
nestle in California and elsewhere in
this country, this is not a vein de-
post. such as occurs with serpentine,
but resembles closely the deposits dis
covered in 1911 at Bissell siding, near
Mahaye, Cal, both being interbedded
with sandstone and shale and of sedi-
mentary origin. The deposit at Bis

so large or regular as the deoosil on
Muddy river.
Samples of this material were no
tieed in a mineral cabinet at Las
Vegas, New, last August by a eeolo-
gist of the survey, who then recog-
nized the material as probably nag
nestle. though he was informed that
it was koalin. Later he visited the de
post in company with one tf the
claimants, and was then informed that
analyses made in Salt Lake City show
ed that it was magneste. So far as
known, however, no special impor-
lance had been attached TO this fact,
as the material was then being on
plotted at the Panama-Pacfic exposi-
ton in San Francisco under the name
of kaolin. The new deposits are so
large and so readily accessible that
they form valuable source of mag
nestle.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IA. ~ Three
immediate needs OF the country as
pointed cut by the European war were
discussed by Edmund j. James, preai-
dend of the University of Illinois, at
the twenty-seventh annual dinner of
the Pennsylvania Scotch-Irish society
here. The conflict abroad, he declar
ed, has created an acute situation
which we must meet promptly by the
adoption of permanent and far-seeing
policies"
Our first and most immediate need
Mr.. james said, is more effective
system OF national defense, to en-
rights and protect its citizens. He
favored universal liability to military
service" and world league to en-
force peace, with power behind II and
willingness to use the power"
''In the presence Of an armed world
and the possibility of sudden attack, ="
the speaker said. ''it is pure bunk of
a criminal sort for any statesman or
citizen TO tell the American people we
can rely in any serious exigency upon
the so-called voluntary system"
Our second immediate need, Mr..
James said, is to establish tariff
policy, whereby we can protect eff
ciently and quickly the industries of
this country from the sudden disaster
~hich easily may come to them as a
result of the terrific strife for the re-
possession of world markets wNict
certainly will be an outcome of the
European struggle.
Mr.. James asserted the United
States must accept policy OF compre-
hensive and harmonious development
of our industries as whole, 80 that
we shall not be dependent upon for
eign countries for any of the elements
fundamental for our industrial pros
perity." "This means" he said, "a
permanent and wise tariff policy di
rected toward the industrial develop
ment of the United States, Witt u"
holding an even hand between labor

red of success, while an attack by
the allies with the same arm has
II chances in hundred on the fronts
running from north to south On the
front running from east to west the
conditions are less favorable to the
allies, the north winds being in the
ratio of 30 to 100 in winter, and 40

mer and % in 100 in autumn"
Summing up his calculations, Able
Moreaux thinks the Germans have
less than one chance in three the year
round, while the allies have more than
two chances in three of effective use

The report some months ago, that five

to distribute protecting masks, seems
to have been forgotten and in the alb

MORAN LICKs CoFFEY.
Pittsburg Fighter Knocks Out Dublin
Giant in N. Y. Bout.

New York. Jan. S.-Frank Moran
of Pittsburg knocked out Jim Cof-
fey, the Dublin giant. in the ninth
round of their ten-round match at
Madison Square garden Friday night.
This was Moran's second victory
over Coffey in twelve weeks, the first
fight ending in three rounds. How
ever, Coffey showed much improve
ment and it was not until the eighth
round that Moran's terrific smashes
showed any effect. Coffey was
knocked down four times in the ninth
round, in each instance remaining on
the mat for nine seconds. The last
time Moran almost drove him through
the ropes, but he managed to get up
within the time. His seconds, realiz-
ing that he was hopelessly beaten,
threw a sponge into the ring to avoid
a complete knockout.
During the first seven rounds COT
fey was complete master of the situa-
ton and 1t looked as if he would win
on points. Moran tried vainly to land
on him but missed many times, and in
each instance Coffey punished him Sc
verely with heavy uppercuts. When
Moran finally cut loose in the eighth
it was all his way. The weights were:

Husker Wrestling Champion
Tells How He Got His Start
He FOUND HIMSELF
Joe Stecher Gives Nobody
Credit for Discovering Him.
He Just Naturally Knew He
Was a Champion.

Chicago, Jan. 8.-Just three years
ago a Swapping young farmer boy liv-
ing in Dodge, Neb., decided to run
away from home, writes Ed w. Smith.
He was 9 years old. but figured that
the world outside of the farm owned
by his parents offered a greater varie-
ty of things, and better things.
He had an idea in his mind and in
turning il over and over it grew
stronger all the time. He wandered
down the road and came to the farm
owned by the Caddocks. The son,
Earl Caddock, caught the runaway s
eye They got into conversation and
the runaway blurted out the big idea.
"I hear you are pretty good at
wrestling" he said to Caddock, then
attaining a countryside reputation as
a fine grappler. We'll, I'm good
wrestler myself. What do you say if
we have a tryOut."
And who might you be-" was the
retort.
WrestIed for $3.50
My name is Stecher, Joe Stecher,
and l came from Dodge, but I'm not
going home any more. I'm a good
wrestler and 1 expect to be champion
some day"
That's fine" Caddock told him II
have some hopes along that line my
self I'll give you tryout. Come on
in"
Let's charge admission and get
some money" suggested Stechsr
Caddock demurred. He explained
to the runaway that he didn't want
to spoil his amateur standing by
wrestling for gate receipts
"All right, if you don't want to take
money" Stecher said. "Tll take it,
because l need it,
So it was arranged. and after nois-
ing it about the neighborhood in a
crude way that there would be a
match. the men got together. An ad-
mission fee of 10 cents was charged
and S3.SO was taken in, all of which
went to Stecher.
This is only an exhibition" Cad
dock warned him when they went or
the mat
1t may be with you, but it's a reg
ular match with me-" was the Stechel
remark. Il want to find out whether
I'm champion or not"
Hay for a Mat.
Then they went at it In the big Cad
dock barn with only little hay spread
around the floor to save injuries Il
was a desperate match. Caddocl
tried everything he knew. 1t wasnt
enough. He flopped the Dodge boy
once with an old trick for which
Stecher hadn't learned a defense
Stecher came right back, Topped Cad
deck twice and was declared the win
ner. Caddock admitted it himself
"I'n be champion all right somt
day" Stecher said as he put on hi
outer clothing. Guess I'll go bacl
home"
The prediction came true in severa
ways Within two years from tina
date Joe Stecher of Dodge, Neb., be
came the most thoroughly feared
wrestling problem of the day. Durin,
the following year he had beaten tn
very best of the American wrestlers
and on July 5, this year, he tumblet
Charley Cutler of this city into a hu
initiating defeat in Omaha, Neb., il

ling time. Cutler held the America
title at the time.

standing, became a member of tn

pionship among the heavy weights.
Caddock told me the story the other
night in Lincoln, Neb, just after
Stecher had beaten Hussane. the Turk.
in nine minutes. And here it is.
Today Stecher stands out as the ath-
letic marvel of the decade.
He Has Confidence.
He was sure of himself before he
had his first match. He is certain
now. He doesn't believe a man living
has a chance with him. And if you
had seen the decisive manager in
which he beat Westergaard, Martin
son, Cutler, Americas. Plestinas Ernest
Connolly Leon. Calender and Hus-
him.
Stecher went back home after the
CaddOck match but his parents never
became reconciled to his being a
wrestler. 1t is said that the subject
of athletics is absolutely tabooed on
the Stecher farm. Nobody there ever
mentioned wrestling.
Joe's father and mother are an
noyed at the publicity the son is get
ting The mother never saw him
wrestle and his father was present at
but one of his contests-that with
Cutler-and then much against his
will. Joe's great victory that night
made no difference to the elder
Stecher. He doesn't like Joe to be in
the game and never will.
Who really discovered you, Jo?''
1 asked him the other night.
IT just discovered myself" he re-
piled with a big grin.
How are you going to beat a fellow
like that?
