The fight was staged in Havana over the protests of the mayor and the chief of police, much to the satisfaction of the pro motors - and to the extreme chagrin of the secretary, who found out about it later.
 The fight was advertised to take place, the hall was packed, the cigar cites were going big and the Cubans were happy. Just as the announcer was telling his audience what a fine pair of scrappers the two antagonists were, and how the fur was going to fly in clumped sergeant and ten toy soldiers, designated police.
 Down the aisle they marched in pre- else military formation, and were brought to an abrupt halt at the ring side by the sergeant, who, with a flourish. informed the audience and the promoters that by order of the mayor, no fight was to be held.
 But have the authorization of the secretary of the interior to hold this fight the promoter protested.
 Cant help it," replied the sergeant. Orders are orders. and l work for the mayor. Clear out"
 The debate grew and the words were flying fast. Suppose should show you letter from the secretary of the interior. You know his signature, don't your" And the promoter pro. duiced the letter.

 "If l should get the secretary on the telephone and he should tell you to allow the fight to proceed. would you change your mind?"
 This was agreed to and someone rang up the secretary. who informed the policeman that the fight must be held. The policeman made his apolo- gies, bowed very low lot of times and he and his men took front seats and watched the show
 Next day it was found the secretary was out of town.

McAdoo on Dollar Diplomacy.

No American Of the present hour
Is more typical of the best things in
his generation than Secretary McAdoo.
Take this utterance from the secre-
tary:
"We have substituted dollar eX-
change for dollar diplomacy. which is
the true way to secure and hold our
share Of the worlds commerce. Dol
lar exchange represents the conquest
OF foreign markets through friendship
and reciprocally advantageous trade
relations. Dollar diplomacy repre-
sents the attempt to secure foreign
concessions and trade by fOrce-by
the use of the army and navy Of the
United States"
Secretary McAdoo believes that the
possession of great wealth means In
creased opportunity for service. And
he has placed the impress of his con-
structive craftsmanship upon the f.
nances Of his country in the most
critical hour in the history of world
finance.

MALE BIRTHS EXCEED FEMALE
Sudden Change Of Sex Ratio in
Central America.

A sudden change in the sex ratio
among certain tribes of aborigines
in Central America is noted by Hem
ry Pittier of the bureau of plant
industry, Washington, in the Jour
:al of Heredity.
Among the adult Tirub there are
now 202 males to 1926 females, but
among children there are POS boys
to 161 girls.
Among the Bribri there are 2SS
men to 800 women, bat among their
children there are 203 boys to 1871
girls.
Both of these tribes inhabit noun
tain Businesses in Costa Rica, near
the Panama boundary. They have
been subjected to cruelty and OPP
preston almost since the Spanish
conquest and are rapidly dying out.
The sudden change in the ratio be-
tween the sexes is difficult to account
for.
