FAKE FIGHT PILOT
BEATS FATHER TIME

r1eht managers may come and fight
managers may go. but this bird has IL
over them all. Billy Recap, sporting
editor Of the Philadelphia Public
Ledger uncloses a hot one on fake
hght manager who proved TO be good
enough to beat Father Time in a race
to the wire. The following is self
explanatory:
One of the most despicable char
acters connected with the sport OF
boxing is the manager or promoter
who deliberately wires fake news or
misinformation to any newspaper. The
champion of this class developed in
Trenton, N. j., on Monday night The
Trenton Athletic Show held a carni-
val. It was to begin at $50 p. m.
One of these parasites Of the boxing
game at p. m wired the following
Sports Editor Public Ledger:
"Sir-Joe Dorsey. of Philadelphia,
defeated Battling Leonard, in eight
fast rounds.
Max Williamson defeated Little
Bear, the Montana Indian, in eight
sensational rounds before crowded
house tonight.
Trenton. N. J., February 24-E. N.
B."
The dispatch was received in the
Public Ledger ofice at SOS p. m.
almost a half hour before the show
started. The Sports Department side
stepped the fake" message. Happily,
the incident occurred in New Jersey,
where there is a boxing commission.
A description Of the individual who
rushed into the Western Union Tele-
graph Office in Trenton, paid for the
thirty-word message and then hur-
ried away has been received AS soon
as his identity is established he
should not only be punished by the
New Jersey boxing commission but
by every state in the Union which is
eager to foster clean sports.

THE SEA PLANE is SAFER

III IKE men returned from
the grave appeared
Harry Hawker and his
companion. Their rescue was
as picturesque as their daring
flight and the whole world re-
joices in their safety.
AS to the value of Hawker's
attempt minds will differ. 1t
has proved nothing unless it be
the fact that it is a perilous
thing to attempt a trans-ocean
flight with reliance on a single
airplane.
There are too many chances
against the success of such an
expedition. Engine trouble, a
storm, fuel exhaustion, drift OF
any one of numerous other con-
tingencies could arise to bring
on disaster. 1t takes but one
and Hawker met it in the shape
of a clogged feed pipe.
We will all take off our hats
to the courage of the daring
australian. He risked much
for the honor of his country
and he is entitled to all the
glory he gets. The fact re
mains however that a seaplan'
is the proper machine for sucl
work and tho point will be EN-
nhasized If the NC-4 is able t
reach Portugal.

FIT FOR WAR, FIT FOR
PEACE

N<H HY is it that some pub
~ lie men who a few year,
ago were saying we
could not escape mixing in the
world war are now arguing
that we should not mix in a
world effort to prevent wars !?
That is exactly what they con-
tend for when they say the
United States should stay out
of the League of Nations.
The explanation they make
that we cannot hope to under
stand Europe will not suffice.
We understand Europe fairly
well. What is further we have
made Europe understand Am
erica. They understood us on
April z, 1917, they understood
us at Chateau Thierry, st. Mi
hiel and in the Argonne. They
have come to understand us at
the peace conference. The
new map of Europe was made
in America.
If we were big enough and
smart enough to save the world
from kaiserism why are we not
smart enough to guide the
worlds footsteps into paths of
permanent peace?
The theory that Uncle Sam
after making good as a pinch
hitter should go back into a
corner and twirl his thumbs
wont set well with people. We
told our soldiers that this was
a war to end wars. Let's make
that promise good. 1t may
mean some trouble for US but
the other system meant trouble
too. 1t cost us 21 billions and
100000 casualties. We got in
to that because we did not con-
troll the worlds war machine.
If we control it. as we can do in
the League of Nations, we will
prevent such a catastrophe in
the future.

BOARD OF HEALTH NOTES

Florida will win the honor of en-
tering the Registration Area if the
check to be started by the United
States Bureau of Census, September
1, shows 80 per cent of the deaths of
the state reported.
Attracted by the figures. showing
the progress the vital statistics de-
partment Of the State Board of Health
is making in getting deaths report
ed, DR.. William H. Davis, chief sta
tistician Of the Bureau Of Census, has
requested permission to make
check. Government agents will ar
rive September and will 60 out into
the state, checking deaths with the
report of the vital statistics depart
ment to get the necessary figures.
Registration of deaths in this state
started when DR.. Stewart G.. Thomp-
son took charge Of the vital Statis-
tics department in 1917. During that
year 1892 deaths in Florida, exclu.
sive Of still-births, were reported to
the State Board of Health. Last year
the state was combed in an effoct to
get reports of isolated deaths with
the result that 16,031 deaths were
Registered. The state board has 666
registras at various points through
out Florida collecting in its work of
registering every death in, the state.
South Florida show 80 per cent
registration, as there is every indica-
tion she will, she will be the seventh
southern state to enter the registra-
ton area. There are 20 states now
in the area, not including the District
of Columbia and the territory of Ha-
wall.
The model vital statistics law that
went into effect January /, 1917, ha
been an important factor in getting
deaths registered, according to DR.
Thompson, who had the honor OF
helping put Kansas in the registra-
ton area in 1914. The law provides
that every undertaken or person act
ing as undertaken, must file death Ger.
tiicates with the State oBard oil
Health, with a maximum fine of s1OO
provided in cases Of violation.
Major Ralph N. Green, state health
officer, is sending an appeal through
the state asking anyone who knows
of death that has not been report
ed and registered to report the fact
at once as a service to the state. Re
ports of deaths a considerable time
back will not be accepted by the Blu,
reau Of Census agents after DR.,
Thompson has given in his figures
Septembef 1,
at is a duty we owe the state to
get Florida in the registration area as
