more than a teaspoonful for one meal,
which means that only one dish de-
manding sugar can be consumed at
any one meal. The fact is now fully
understood and the law thoroughly
observed. In Avoyelles parish mer-
cha 1T sold citizen hundred pounds
of sugar, contrary to the two pounds
rule. The incident was two weeks
old when Lester L. Bordelon, the par
ish administrator, learned of it, but
he secured the retunn of the unused
sugar and induced the merchant to
pay a $1,000 fine and the patron a
$500 fine to the local chapter of the
Red Cross.
Richland parish took MP its sugar
and -four problems in united way
at meeting which ]. W. Summerlin,
the parish administrator, held with
al his deputies present. The con-
ference adopted plan of having all
the merchants Of the parish keep
list of all flour and sugar sales, using
the name of the head of the family,
run1ber of pounds of sugar or flour,
ana date of sale. These lists are to
be checked up by the local deputy
on the first and fifteenth of each
month. If any householder is dis
covered with more than the allot-
ment, the case will be investigated.
If violation is decided wilful all
the retail merchants of the parish
hold any flour or sugar, as the case
will be notified not to sell that house
may be, for stated time. The mer-
chants have all been furnished with
copies Of this rule and requested to
educate their patrons so that there
will be no need for punishment.
With the advent of the new crop
Of wheat rumors are being constant
ly started concerning the relaxation
in the rules, and some merchants and
drummers have taken chance and
discounted the expected changes in
advance. Correction has been ap'
piled in these Instances as fast as dis
covered, and strong emphasis has
been laid upon the fact that no new
rules have been issued and all the old
flour rule are in full force and eff
feet. The only exception is in favor
Of the farmer, who has raised and
has on hand his own substitutes and
has not used the same lot of substi-
tutes against the purchase of flour.
The same affidavits that entities the
farmer to buy flour without substi-
tutes will serve the dealer in pur-
chasing flour in similar way. The
new flour program will be decided at
meeting to be held at Washington
early in September, by which time
Hebert Hoover, United States Food
Administrator, will have returned
from Europe prepared with accurate
data to lay before the food admins
traitors of the various states. Mr.
Parker will attend the conference,
which will be among the most i'm
portant so far held by the leaders in
the work of food conservation.

Secretary Of War Dis
cusses Possibilities of
Proposed Draft
Regulations
Inclined To Believe Marriage
Relation Will Constitute
Cause For Deferred Clas-
SificatiOn

l went before the Senate com
mittee this morning on the question
of the draft ages, and the discussion
followed very much the lines taken
with Gen. March and Gen. Crowder.
The committee did not indicate any
disposition to question the necessity
for this change, but we discussed it
in all of its phases. The committee
was especially interested in the eff
feet on colleges and also the ques-
ton as to whether young men from
Is up would be drawn indiscrimi-
nately in class l or made into a de-
ferred class by age and drawn later,
giving them some added months to
come to maturity. l told them that
no fixed policy had been determined
upon by the department, but that the
purpose was to allow the President
to defer in class i the call of the
youngest men.
Work or Fight Order.
There was some discussion also as
to whether it was the intention of
the department to extend the "work
or fight" order to include classes OF
persons in various professional oc-
cupations. 1 told them there was no
present change of the work or fight
order in contemplation. l said that
when I decided the baseball case I
thought perhaps other forms of
amusement and entertainment might
require an extension of the order to
be on parity with the baseball stu
alton, but that was not in their mind.
They had heard from outside sources
that the department was considering
bringing professional classes, like
lawyers, newspaper men, and persons
who were not actually engaged in
producing material supplies under
the order.
l have always considered, as you
perhaps remember, that 19 was the
preferable minimum, and have come
to the 18 minimum only because it
seems necessary to get the men. Not
that think men of 1S are necessarily
too young, because l do not think
that. | think that history shows that
boys of 18 to 10 are immensely valu-
able, as valuable, perhaps, as from
10 to 20; but think there is a senti-
ment in the country which will look
with very much more anxious regard
on the boys from 18 to 10 than the
boys Of 10 to 20. Eighteen years
seems to many people a more tender
age than 10, and it is for that reason
that we are thinking of making this
preferential deferment of men from
18 to 10.
Deferred Classification.
The new regulations are not yet
drawn. I am inclined to think that
the marriage relation will in itself

terest, l do not want to put the man

This is what 1 am thinking of just
now.
Mr.. Rosenwald is going to Europe

Out of the west has flashed a new
meteor of the boxing world.
Jack Dempsey. young. husky and
ambitious. has designs on Jess Will
lard's jealousy guarded title and ap-
pears to be the most likely contender
in the heavyweight ranks.
Dempsey's great handicap at pres
ent is his lack of experience. He has
only been in the ring game for about
three years and most of his battles
have been in California where bouts
are limited to four rounds.
About two years ago Dempsey made
his first eastern appearance when he
blew into New York and knocked out
Wild Burt Kenney and Andre Ander-
son in quick succession. He %outfought
John Lester Johnson. a big clever ne
gro in ten rounds, but could not stop
him.
Dempsey then went back to the
coast and placed himself under the
management of Jack Kearns who i'm
mediately guided him toward the
championship. His most notable re-
cent bouts have been with Gunboat
Smith. Carl Morris and Homer Smith.
Dempsey beat Morris and Smith on
the coast and later gave Morris such
a pummeling in the east that Carl re-

HOW COAL WAS CREATED.

A minute examination Of coal has
recently given rise to an interesting
theory as to how hat fuel was
formed. Means have been devised for
slicing 1t into sections so thin that
they are almost transparent and can
be studied to excellent advantage
with a microscope. The use OF this
instrument revealed only a. little cell
lular, or vegetable. structure in the
coal. and where fragments of plants
existed they seemed to merge directly
into the non-cellular mass. The be-
lief has arisen hat in the formation
Of coal vegetable matter was first
entirely decon,posed. became satur-
ated with this liquid and eventually
was changed into fuel. This coin
cides with the theory Of most scien-
lists that the entire earth at n time
was a globe Of dough-like substance,

sorted to his %favorite tactics and
fouled himself out of the match in
six rounds.
Dempsey received his early training
in a northwest lumber camp where
his proves as a good two-fsted man
won him respect from the best fight
ing lumberjacks of the country.
Dempsey is a native of Seattle,
Wash, and was christened William.
When. however, he took to pugilism
he changed his first name to Jack for
the reason hat Jack Dempsey. once
middleweight champion Of America,
used that as his ring name. The Non
pareil's real name was John Kelly.
While his strength and hitting are
unquestionably of the first quality,
surprising as it may seem. he is an
excellent boxer. He never had any tut
ton from clever sparrers, and appears
to have picked up the science Of the
game through watching other fighters.
Dempsey is FL years of age. stands
6 feet in his bare feet and scales 1876
pounds in fighting condition, which
was Sullivan's weight when the Bos-
tonian was in his prime.
A finer looking athlete than Denp-

REAL SPORTSMAN.
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
PROTECTION OF GAME
(By Norris Ackcrman)

Famous Hunter and Trapper.)
With the converting of every state
legislature there is always the ques-
ton of fish and game legislation. In
many states legislation Of this char
acter as much time as any
other.
Has it ever occurred to you who is
responsible for this condition?
Is it the farmer? Is it the business
man? Is it the man who wants to fish
and hunt all the time irrespective of
what happens to u fish and game?
In the main it is none of these.
Neither is this legislation requested
the killing of fish ami game it is the
demand of the law abiding, red blood
ed angler and hunter who spends a
few days or at most a few weeks each
year with rod and gun.
1t is the chap who believes fishing
and hunting an honorable means Of
recreation and wants to retain it for
all time to come. 1t is the sportsman
the man of the outdoors, the back
bone of our national manhood.
Ninety-nine cases out Of 100 the
men asking for fish and game legisla-
ton are after shorter open seasons,
smaller bag limits or protection Of
certain fish and game which under
the present laws are unfair to certain
species of fish and game.
Three million and a half dollars are
paid into the various state treasures
each year by American hunters. They
want that money used to conserve our
wild life. They want good laws and
strict enforcement of them. They want
state game farms established and en-
couraged. They want state fish hatch
cries maintained and encouraged.
Today. as never before in the his
tory of this country has the American
sportsman been needed by his coun-
try. Fishing n hunting retained
means continued generations of clean
and ready men for the work of the
United States, in times Of peace as
well as war.
