THE NATION DOESN'T WANT
A HEAVYWEIGHT FlGk7
BY H. G. HAMILTON

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, June 20.--If it comes to
pass that Jack Dempsey and Fred
Fulton are permitted to meet on July
4th in a twenty round battle at Dan
bury, Conn, the folks who made it
impossible for Fulton and Willard to
meet for the worlds heavyweight
championship should have something
to talk about for long time.
The coming battle, logical meet
ing between the foremost heavyweight
boxers in the world, will produce a
new ring champion, for the man who
wins will be the next opponent of
Willard, provided that husky ever
again makes up his mind to fight. And
when he meets one of these men the
chances are he will run losing race.
AS matter Of pure fact there is
no difference between a meeting of
Willard and Fulton and battle with
Dempsey and Fulton the principals.
4 No doubt scrap for the heavy
weight championship now would be a

fine thing for the fight fans. No
doubt, also, it would be the means
of raising good sum of money for
war Charity. But the people are
really in no mood for an advertised
bout between behemoths of the ring.
II Willard and Fulton were not allow
ed to fight because of this sentiment
there there can be no excuse for a
tangle between the runners-up to the
championship.
While America is crying for contin-
uance of its sports, it is not including
fights in its pleas. The SPORT lovers
are very well satisfied to let the
champions remain champions until
after the war is won.

few days ago a number of gentle

accord the entire party condemned it

The state food administration has
notified the public that after last
Monday, June II, grocers are permit
ted to sell not to exceed two pounds

to exceed FIVE pounds to rural patrons
This ruling takes the place of the
former regulation permitting the sale
in larger quantities In the region
west Of the Missouri river, where the
towns and villages are farther apart
and the ranches more distant from the
stores, sales may be made in quanti-
ties OF twenty-five pounds if the Gus

Many coal dealers are urging their
sons fuel now, while it is possible to |
get it, The public, as rule, does

AS matter of fact, it is commended |

doubt about getting a supply late in
the season. The coal allotment to |
many western states, including South |
Dakota, has been reduced. Those
who wait until fall to order their fuel
may find much difficulty in getting
1T, and run at least some risk of not |
getting it at all, according to the con-
census Of opinion among coal dealers.
or course one trouble now is that |
so comparatively few can really afford
to expend money for coal so many
months before it is needed-but that
is condition that, to be ON the safe
side, must be overcome.

Writing for the Minneapolis Jour
nal. A. J. r. notes the demise Of a Sc
attic citizen one hundred and three
years old, and suggests that one Of the
reasons why he lived so long was
that he never grouched at the break
fast table or elsewhere. Discussing
this, A. J. r. writes
"The enjoyment of. breakfast ana
of the sunrise always comes so cas-
lily to me that I sometimes wall in
charity for persons who, I have been
led to believe, start the generous day
wrong by raising hades at the break
fast table. I will freely wager 70
cents that the Seattle centena-
rian who lived to be one hun
dred and three never insurged at
breakfast, never complained Of the
food, nor sneered at his wife's cook

gevity to his own temper; he had not

had driven a yoke of oxen most of his
life. Also. loved everybody, and every

Mecca for the Fat.

"Go to Mesopotamia and perspire" Is
the reply of a writer in the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer to a person who is
searching for reliable cure for fat. In
that climate fat person simply Delts
and runs down. AS early in the morn
ing as daybreak one awakes to find
himself bathed in perspiration. The
"cool' Of the night means tempera-
.ure Of 80 degrees; by eleven o'clock
the temperature rises to 120 degrees,
and at midday the air simply burns the
lungs. Nobody remains fat in Meso-
potamia, and nobody works if it can be
avoided, and Sulim tells me that 1t
generally is avoided under the pretext
of turning everything over to Allah.
All this fat pilgrim needs in Mesopota-
mia Is somebody to support him. II
this can be arranged, the fat takes

duce, even in this climate, quite hand
