Pipeline construction through the

conditions encountered in winter" says
the Popular Mechanics Magazine. "Dur-

companying Illustrations show how suit
able protection was provided in projecting
a loop line between the Arkansas boun-
dary and an oil refinery station at Baton
Rouge, La. Portable frameworks, sup
ported several feet above the ground and
covered with large tarpaulins, were used
to shade the workers. These devices
were moved along as line was projected
section by section, the men remaining be-
meath them as much as possible. The
method used in laying pipe across shall
low streams and bayous in this section
is also interesting. Instead of construct

DARCY HANDED JOLT
BY AUSTRALIAN PRESS
Sydney Times Suggests that Middle
weight Did the Stacking" Act.

Copies of Australian newspapers re-
ceived here recently contain bitter at
tacks on Les Darcy for running away
from that country. An editorial in the
Sydney Times says:
Here is a young man In the heyday
of his physical fitness. the most able
bodied athlete In the Commonwealth,
middIe-weight champion of the world. as
we'll as the heavyweight champion Of
Australia, whose annual income for the
last three years has not been less than
$4,000. He is fit for military service, and
he has made all his money out OF the
people of Australia Australia has put
him into a position of advantage that
few young Australian men at this crisis
enjoy: he is independent for life, II need
be. and in case of his death his parents
are abundantly provided for.
''All this Australia has done for Les
Darcy. What has Les Darcy done for
Australia? He has turned tail and made
a bolt of 1t the moment when 1t seemed
that he could no longer dodge his plain
duty to the country that has fed and
pampered him.
I'm the realm OF honest trade he is.
or was, blacksmith, and blacksmtths
are particularly useful in Australia at
this present time. 1t is also understood
that he has been an armorer's laborer.
He Is In various ways specially fitted for
the Commemorative present need at
what happens to be a time of the Com
monwealth's special peril; and things
standing so, he cuts and runs
There need be no magnifying of this
man Darcy's Importance. He is not i'm
portant In the least. In the scales of
civilization he counts for very little. The
point is that he is a young Australian,
and all he can find to do with the large
sums of money Australia has poured into
his pockets is to pay some other mean
fellow to help him to bolt from his natu-
raj obligations. Australia can surely
have no use for that sort Of young Aus
tralian, and Australia at this moment is
not In the least disposed to make excuses
for him. Nor are we.
What is to be done? The Common
wealth government surely cannot sit
down meekly and submit to the indignity
of this mans lawlessness and breach of
common faith. Is there not some way
IN which the government can seize his
property? Due provision can be made for
his parents, II need be, but Darcy surely
should not be permitted to enjoy in some
other part of the world the money that
he has got from Australians, who be-
heved him to be an honest and patriotic
and loyal citizen. II nothing Is done the
position OF the government becomes at
once ludicrous and humiliating
ut is highly probable that II the United
States authorities are made fully cogni-
zant OF the facts, Darcy will be sent back
II that can be arranged. 1t is to be hoped
that the Commonwealth government
will have sufficient honesty and public
spirit to deal with him as he deserves to
be dealt with"

MIKE YOKEL HERE
READY FOR Big BOUT
Salt Lake City Mormon Confident He
Can Trim Local Grappler.

Mike Yokel, the only wrestler who ever
pinned the shoulders Of Joe Turner to
the mat upon two different occasions, ar
rived in the National Capital late yester-
day afternoon, direct from New York
City, where during the past week he has
been putting on the finishing touches for
his bout with the local middle-weight
champion next Wednesday night.
Given the once over, Yokel outwardly
gives every indication OF possessing the
necessary qualifications that are required
IN grappler packing the reputation
which the Western man does. While
there has been considerable speculation
as to whether Yokel could make the mid
dle-weight limit of 1853 pounds, caused
through some wild rumor started per-
maps with view toward influencing the
wagering odds on the bout, a mere glance
viii suffice to show that If not within the
limit now, he is hardly more than two
or three pounds beyond the required
weight With two days remaining be-
fore the bout, one hard workout on the
road would in all probability reduce any
excess avordupois he might be carrying

manner. is confident of being returned a
winner in his match with Turner, was
very reticent when broached upon the
subject Other than to state that he be-
lieved he could again turn the trick and
pin the champions shoulders to the mat,
he ventured no other prediction upon the
result of the bout
Fred Crabbie, under whose management
the Mormon wrestler has placed himself,
was more Inclined to espouse the chances
OF his charge. even going so far as to
predict that Turner would be a defeated
man within one and one-half hours actual
wrestling. While Turner is making no
claims as to an easy victory. he is just
as eonhAent as his opponent of winning
and that he will still be the worlds mid
dle-weight champion next Thursday
morning.

effort to take the match In the best con-
