WTLLARD-DEMPSEY
BY H. C. HAMILTON

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York. May 9O-There is small
chance to draw true line of com
parison between Jess Willard and
Jack Dempsey
In the first place the men are en-
tirely different in style ard tempera-
ment. Willard is slow, takes lots of
punishment and is not the heavy
puncher Dempsey is. He fights be-
cause that is his business.
Dempsey is fast, punches with pile
driving power and fights because he
likes it.
Records considered as matters of
prowess, show four men who have
faced each principal in Tex Richards

Gunboat Smith, Charley Miller and
Carl Morris.
OF the lot there isn't one who
could last with Dempsey, and Willard
didn't stop one of them.
Pell1ey and Willard boxed ten un-
satisfactory rounds in New York, and
there was no decision; he lasted less
than round in Denver.
Gunboat Smith, at that time, at the
very top of his career, gave Jess a
fine cutting in San Francisco, al
claimed the decision was wrong. This
was a 20-round go, and Dempsey met

Smith twice, once getting a decision
over him in four-round bout in Ca
lifornia and the second time stop
ping him in two rounds in Buffalo.
Smith was floored nine times in the
latter bout before he finally stayed
down.
Charley Miller and Willard fought
four rounds to a draw in California.
It required less than a round FOR Mil
Ter to sleep when he met Dempsey.
Carl Morris and Willard staged
very tame bout in New York, the
show going ten rounds. Morris once
lost to Dempsey on a foul in six
rounds, after taking a beating. The
next time Dempsey gave big Carl the
usual one-round dose.

DATE is FIXED FOR
TRANSFER OF POLICIES

Washington, May 3O.-The war
risk insurance bureau has tenta-
tatively fixed June 1 as the date for
the issuance of the new life insur-
ance policies for which soldiers,
sailors and marines may exchange
the policies issued to Their under
the war risk act Applications for
conversion are now being received
While no intensive camaign to
induce holders of the war risk act
policies to transfer to the new form
of insurance has been launched as
yet, applications are invited now in
order to obviate a rush when the
time arrives for transfers to be
made and also to encourage holders
of the policies to make the exchange
when it is most convenient for them
to do so.
The bureau has also made it
known that it will not consider poll
cies as having lapsed even though,
after discharge, a man may have
ceased payment or has notified the
bureau that he wishes to cancel his
policy, until ample time has been
granted for reinstatement The bu-
reaus policy will be to allow a sol
dier, sailor or marine to put his
policy back in force by payment of
back installments within a period of
six months.
Up to the middle of April, the bu-
reau had paid $4,000 claims for in.
surance awards for death. Only
1904 claims have been disallowed,
and in a good many of these cases
the action is not final.

FARMERS ANSWERED
U. S. CALL FOR FOOD

Washington, May Production
of dressed meat, including lard, has
reached 2O,129, 100000 pounds in
1918, exceeding by 3,S12,500,OO0
pounds of the total for 1917, and
surprising the previous record OF
this or any other country. Three
fourths of the enormous increase
was in pork, and one-fourth in beef.
The surplus of American meats
was so great in 1918 that extraordi-
nary demands for export made little
impression on it, although shipments
abroad in 1918 nearly doubled those
of 1917. The exports rose from
135, 100000 pounds in 1917 to
slightly more than 100000 pounds
last year Shipments to the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces are not in
cluded in this total of exports.
The aggregate consumption of
dressed meat and lard in the Unit
ed States in 1917 was about a.
5O0,000O0O pounds. In 1918 this
country consumed 17,250,00O, 900
pounds This means, after allowing
for growth in population, an addition
Of 20 pounds for every man, woman
and child in the Uaited States, de-
spite the campaign for conservation
of food.
The official statement from the de-
partment of agriculture gives the
farmer credit for most of this in
crease.
How quickly and patriotically the
farmers of america responded to the
governments appeal for larger pro-
duction is illustrated in the case of
hogs In 1917 the number of hogs
marketed was 81 .4S3,SOO. In 1918
the total was 69,S54,7OO. In addition
to this increase in the number of ami
mails, there was an enlargement of
their average weight, which was IL
pounds greater in 1918 than in 1917
This meant an increase of 2,747,355,
600 pounds in the production of pork
and lard-324 per cent more than in
the preceding year.
Shipments of beef to foreign coun-
tries in 1918 were 81 per cent larger
than in 1917, the chief items of ex-
port being 514,4OO,OOO pounds of fresh
and 141, 100000 pounds of canned
beef Exports of pork and lard in
1918 were 2279 2S7O3O pounds-71.7
per cent more than in 1917.

ASKS IMPROVED

Washington, May 30.-Re-adjust-
ment has brought American indus
try forcibly face to face with
problem which it long has Stunned
and avoided, according to officials
of the United States public health
service. The certain keen competi-
ton, both domestic and foreign
which is to follow a settling down
Of business after the war, makes
it necessary for the American en-
ployer to pay more attention to the
question of maximum efficiency il

AS a result Of the changes which
officials say are bound to come, en-
ployers of labor now must give
some study to the new science of

Health Service says in statement
Industrial physiology has two
objects" Lee says, First, the pure
" scientific one of learning how the
industrial worker actually performs
his work and, second the practical
object of establishing in the factories
the conditions which conduce at
the same time to the maximum of
output and to the maintenance of
maximum power of the worker"
Pursuing its Investigations on the
two bases, Lee reported that the
health service has arrived at some
valuable informative conclusions.
Among the conclusions, the state
ment includes:
Overtime following a days labor
is inadvisable, as is also Sunday
work, following weeks labor.
These tend to destroy the workers
strength and working power.
"The introduction of rest periods
in the working spell, is accompanied
by total increase in the days pro-
duction especially when the working
day is long.
Reduction of excessively long
working days can be sure to result
in a maximum increase in the out

GOVERNOR CITES
 DANGER

AS Lincoln prophesied before the Civil war, so it is true today that "our greatest danger is not from without, but from within, " said Governor J. A. A. Burnquist of Minnesota, at Seattle recently.
 ''The most threatening menace to our free institutions today" he asserted, lis not our own section alism, the despotism of a Spain or the kaiserism of a Germany. It is, in the words of Lincoln, the increasing disregard for law which pervades the country It is the spirit of Bolsheyism, which is springing up among us. and which, if not checked, will eventually produce a class war that may be even more serious to our nation than any of it's previ- ous conflicts.
 Governor BurnQuist enumerated three movements which are now being promoted in this country, " and which are Indicative of the present danger. " These he gave as the Industrial Workers of the World, Socialism and the Non Partisan League. The Manufac- turer.
