Willard Dempsey Arena
Built Of Southern Pine

It takes a sawmill and miles OF
lumber to stage championship prize
fight these days.
At the site of the Willard Dempsey
arena in the suburbs of Toledo, Ohio.
where two claimants for worlds
fistic title will battle July 4, q big
construction job is under way. Eighty
thousand people are expected TO wit.
ness the contest and to accommodate
this immense crowd the largest stand
ever built for a prize fight is now
rapidly taking shape.
"A million and three-quarters Iees
Of Southern pine lumber is required
for the erection Of the sLadlums
which is half mile in circumference
and 600 feet across, with q maximum
height of 35 feet from the bleacher
seats TO the ground. This lumn6E.
would be sufficient to build board
walk three feet wide and Ito miles
long. To transport it to Toledo from
the pine forests Of the South Ut
heavily loaded freight cars were re-
CURED, A small sawmill has been
set up in the 24-fct ring to cut the
lumber to lengths. Hundreds Of car
penters and other workmen are en-
gagged on the job.
This is the second Of the great
arenas erected in this country in re-
cent years for a prize fight, the first
having been at Reno, Nevada. The
Reno stand was also. built Of South

RENTS AND LAND
SOON TO ADVANCE

Figures just completed by experts
show that those who contemplate
owning their own homes will find it
to their disadvantage il they wait
much longer. During the past five
years there has been an increase in
building material of over so per cent,
while rents have advanced very little,
except in munition centers. This
means that in every section of the
country that rents are going to be
greatly advanced and it is also pre-
dicted that the value of land, which
has changed little if any during the
past five years, will undergo>a rapid
advance during the next year.

 Two objections about which debate is expected to center are that the treaty departs from the tradition of no entangling alliance and that it violates the constitutional provision that congress alone can declare war Those who base their opposition on the latter ground declare that by the promise 10 go to the aid of France immediately in case of an unprovoked attack on her from Germany. all flu ture congresses would be deprived of their power to declare for war or peace whenever the treaty terms were invoked
 With receipt Of the treaty. which is the only copy in the United States. and bears the signature of Premier Clemenccau and the grand seal uf the French republic as well as President Wilson's signature the iron grating separating the executive clerk from the rest of the secretatvs office was ordered closed and locked and all per scLs entering he secretary's office except those whose identity was kICwn were closely SC tinized Sen ite officials also declined to send the treaty to the government rrintng of. hc' SO that printed copies could be made but had tyne written copy made inside the barred inclosure
