Chinese Girls Learn II to Talk to One

Chinese women students In the Tung
Flu College, Picking. China. are obliged
to learn English in order to talk with
one another because of the different
dialects used by the student body.
Girls from the extreme western
provinces Of China, who attend the
school. must remain in Picking during
all OF the eight years required for
their high school and college train
ing. because to return each summer
would require six weeks for the trip
one way and would cost more than a
trip TO America and return.
Girls from each of the western
provinces speak a different language
and they cannot understand one an
other any more than they can the girls
from northern, southern. eastern or
central provinces. Hence, they have
adopted English as common tongue

that my meals were agreeing with

SPORT FOLLOWERS INTERESTED IN A
 DEMPSEY MATCH

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-Fol- lowers of pugilism here are inter ested in the efforts being made by certain local promoters to arrange q bout between the worlds champion heavyweight boxer Jack Dempsey and Willie Meehan, local product, in view of the fact that the Cali forQia laws prohibit any boxing matches except between amateurs for medals or cups. ~
 The last time these two men met in the ring, Meehan was awarded the decision in a four round bout which was staged for the benefit of one of the war funds, the prin- cipals being awarded silver cups for their performance. As four rounds is the limit allowed by law, it is hardly expected that Dempsey will be willing to risk his title for the sake of "medal' in such a short fight Even should he be willing to engage in a 'no-decision fight ring followers are wondering what sort of "medal' would have to be offered as an inducement.

SEALS ARE PUT ON
 MEAT UNDER CUSTOMS ORDERS

J. B. Howard, of Eagle, who arrived , CT Yukon, in connection with the i'm portation of cold storage meat from
 Canada into Alaska, told a represen- , tative of The Citizen yesterday that he had placed under seal all the com partments in the cold storage barge
 containing foreign inspected meat
 says the Fairbanks Citizen. In fact,
 when he arrived here he found that this meat was under seal and had been since July ,, or the date upon
 which instructions were received to discontinue the sale of foreign in
 spected meat until further notice l was given to federal officials.
 The meat referred to was shipped from Dawson by Waechter Bros, to supply the local market and prevent a shortage from occurring before fresh beef and other meat could be shipped from the States. It Is Cana dian meat and has been inspected
 and approved by the Canadian au- thorities. When it entered American
 territory at Eagle, customs seals were
 put on the compartments and these were removed by the Territorial health officer upon it's arrival here.
 At the time this was done. it was considered the proper course. but in formation received later from the
 Eagle customs office shows that
 there was mixup in instructions,
 or lack of them. and that no one
 but representative of the bureau of animal industry is authorized to take such action. For this reason the seals have been replaced.

BELIEVES DEMPSEY IS IN LINE TO MAKE
 PUGILISTIC HISTORY

LOS ANGELES, Aug 2.-- De spite all the men who have gone be- fore him, Jack Dempsey is in line io make pugilistic history that will live forever
 This was the comment of James J. Jeffries, formerly worlds heavy weight champion, on the victory of Jack Dempsey over Jess Willard at Toledo, O., when Dempsey annexed the highest honors of the squared circle
 '"The record he has made in the last four years" said the ex-cham- pion, with his sleep pounding hard punches, is one of the marvels of the prize ring and stamps him as a pugilist with hitting powers such as few champions have possessed since glove contests succeeded the days of bare knuckle fighting.
 After comparing Dempsey's ring record with other pugilistic cham pions, Jeffries said:
 Some of the old-timers declare mat Bob Fitzsimmons was the hard est puncher in ring history. But great as was old Fitz's record, the list of knockouts he hung up was not as long as that which Dempsey compiled in four short years"
 Fitzsimmons, continued Jeffries, was credited with "A knockouts while Dempsey has ended forty-five
