JIM FLYNN IS
 ONLY MAN 70
 K.O. DEMPSEY

New York, Aug. 6.-Here's an- other guy who wants to lick Demp- sey. Licked him once; figures he can do 1t again. Interducing, ladies and gemmun, MT. Jim Flynn.
 Yes, sir; Jim Flynn it's the only person that ever dazed Jack Dempsey for 10 consecutive seconds. He knock cd him out in Salt Lake City in 1a17 Not only that, but he did 1t in the first round. For Dempsey lasted just 43 seconds against Jimmie the Fire man, and all the Mormons saw 'em take Jack out of the ring heels first.
 On paper Flynn's K. O. stands as the lone smirch on Dempsey's escut- cheon- A records a record, whether it's photographic or phoney, you know; but there are certain birds spat of 1917 was framed. Wise guys therefore, scoff at Flynn's idea that he can hang crepe on the new champ once more.
 Here's the way Flynn tells 1.-the story of how acted like shot of morphine to Dempsey:
 "I am the only man that ever knocked out Dempsey" He gets a nice, modest start Then he goes on: But l don't see anything to get swelled up about I've licked a lot of guys and Dempsey was only one of 'em. The fact he's champ of the world don't get him, anything with me. Any time he wants another K O., all he's got to do Is to let ms know
 Now he goes into the careless stun Business of flecking q cigarette, while he continues: "'Twas much of a nght-I don't even remember the exact date. About two years ago in Salt Lake, Jacks home town. Said they had a new fighting star and wanted to match me against him Also said he could hit like a mule.
 You know mel don't care how they hit. Just an evenings work with me. l came into the ring and nc Dempsey appeared. Seems he was pulling off a preliminary with his manager over the gate receipts. Right there he showed he had the makings Of champ-whsn they keep their eyes on the box office, they're corners
 This delay got my goat, though Ordinarily I'd have given Jack a chance and let him stay long enough to please his friends. But it made me sore to wait so long, so I just cleaned him up. The fight lasted 43 seconds Dempsey poked me a couple around the head and body. then I riEht-cross- ed him. Humph, I let go of beauty and 10 seconds later they were drag Ging Jack out of the ring by the heels. I just got my money and went home, and. that's all I know about it. --
 T will say. though, that Demp- sey'a pretty good kid r-ig ght- Of good hitter, too. But it's no bis stunt to put the K. O. on Willard Lots of folks say I'm too old to figh Dempsey myself. That ought not tC worry Dempsey if 1t don't worry me AS I say. I hope he lets mo know the time he's troubled with sleepless ness. I'll cure him"

DENVER CATERS TO TRADE OF LATIN COUNTRIES
Care In Shipments and Liberal Credit Feature
 Move.

Denver, August 5.-Denver export CTS are rapidly pushing open the gates of commercial South America by giving greater attention to the needs of Latin American countries, by more sympathetic daference to business customs prevalent below the equator, by more careful packing ano by retraining from hurrying the South American merchants to pay their bills.
 Lessons derived from the expert ences of Denver manufacturers may be a benefit to those of any section in the country. Business circulars are being issued in Spanish ana cores pndents familiar with that language are being employed so as to approach the customer in his own language.
 Realizing that much of the mer- chandise must be transported by mules over the Andean passes, the Denver men are limiting the weight of packa- ges of machinery to about 250 pounds and are packing them in cases com posed of heavy blanks reinforced by steel bands.
 Extension of credit is being arrang- ed through the assistance of certain New York banks.
 Denver exporters find that it is best not to introduce inovations with painful suddenness.
 There is scarcely a South American country with which some Denver man. ufacturer has not established commer- cial relations. The Andean mines of the west which are reached by way of the west coast of South America are the best customers for the class of machinery which Denver has to offer.
 One local exporter of mining mach inery reports that he has received more inquireies from Latin America in the past six months than ever be- fore during corresponding periods.

Washington, Mar. 14.--Americantsm Illustrated in growing victory gar
 dens is 'the best antfdote for Bol- shevik doctrine according to the Young Mems Christian Association. which Is planning a 1919 campaign of 'Americantsm and the speaking of English language via the victory garden Details of the campaign were completed here today by the
 National War Garden Commission, co operating with the immigration department of the Young Men s
 Christian Association in Chicago Plans also provide for the showing
 of the victory garden work in nov ing pictures throughout the country
 To start off the campaign ten
 thousand garden and canning books
 have been sent to Chicago in addition to several thousand posters. The
 Young Mems Christian Association
 had 150 acres of industrial gardens
 last year and they hope to better that record this year. These gardens are
 25x15O feet.

 tive campaigns yet undertaken.' said Charles Lathrop Pack, president o1
 the National War Garden Commission today. "Do not forget that the gar cen produces something besides foo6 It produces thrift so important to the nation at this time.

GERMANS MAKE
 IRON CROSSES
Great Demand for Them By Members of Yankee
 Divisions.

Cobleuz, Mar -(Correspondenc
 of The Associated Press) A factory
 lat Pforzheim near Karlsruhe has
 been working day and night recently
 turning out iron crosses to be sold to Americau soldiers and other troops eager for souvenirs of the war, ac- .cOrding to travellers from Germany
 who arrivo6 in Coblenz late in Janu-
 any. While the Berlin authorities
 havc discouraged the idea. of the Efermans selling iron crosses and other war decorations to soldiers of
 the Allies quite a, business has been
 built up in this line in the zones oc- cuDied by the British. French and Americans. In CObIenz and other
 cities the burgomasters have appeal
 ed to the self respect of the trades
 people in endGGvors to stamp out the business of selling the various Ger man medals and officers insignia. Put the souvenir business rhrives nevertheless. the merchants in the
 neutr~i areas reporting that they can
 purchase all the iron crosses and other decorations in any quantity de sired. These are all brought from unOcCupicd Germany the supply in the occupied part of the RhineIand having been exhausted soon after the Allies took up their positions at the three bridgeheads.
 Owing to the fact that the authort- ties will not issue permits for the
 shipment of honor medals into the occupied zones, travellers say that iron crosses by the hundred and other relics of the war are being smuFgled across the border in great numbers.
 In Co5lenz during the latter part of January iron crosses sold in the stores for from nine to twelve marks each. When the Americans first came to Ccbleuz the crosses were valued at from five tO nine marks. During the war around the prisoner stock a1es, iron crosses were sold to the Americans at prices ranging from dGty to two hundred francs.
 ! The factory at Pforzheim which has been manufacturing the crosses ! for the souvenir hunters is the same one which had a contract from the { German government for years for I he mak."E of the iron crosses given 10 the German soldiers for acts of 1 IJrayery on the battlefield.

| LONDON FACES
 GOAL SHORTAGE
Thousands Stand in Line in Hopes of Keeping Fires
 Burning.

London, March Correspond ence of The Associated Press.D D-CoaI queues. the terror of the poor of London. have aEain made their ap- pearauce because of an acute short age in the coal supply, and thousands upon thousands of persons have been daily standing in line in the hope of getting enough coal to keep some kind of fire going in their humble homes.
 A coal queue is an interesting sight. Early in the morning the number of customers appearing at some dis tributing point exceeds the number being disposed of by the coal mer- chant. So they line up, in the order of their arrival. and patiently wait until they are supplied, or are told by the merchant that he has no more by no means an infrequeut develop ment.
 They buy in small quantities for two reasons some of them have little money to invest in coal at existing high prices, while the second cause is the lack of means to remove large quantities. Often peram mbulators provide the vehicle. but more often the purchaser tucks his "blacl dia- monds" away in an old basket and hurries on his way.
 If the dealer is so fortunate as to have q ton or two of coal the queue will be maintained for hours in the biting cold. If his supply is short, he is soon sold out, and the queue dis solves. only to be reformed at some other place in the hope of finding more coal.
 It often happens that persons of means approach the dealer and offer high prices for quantities out of all proportion tO the supply. and 1t is of ten recorded that the dealer will re- fuse the temptation, because he knows that his trade is among the people who are his regular customers, the poor of the neighborhood, and they will not forget him when he has abundant coal 10 sell if he discrim- mates in favor of a casual but richer person.
 So poor and rich alike have been suffering and shivering, because no one really expected the tempera turc to drop as sharply as 1t has within the past few days. The winter to this time has been open and wet and sick eningly chilly. but not so cold as to cause actual suffering, even with a short fuel supply. But with the mercury lowering around 20 degrees above zero. "12 degrees of frost, ' they call it here, coal is a ueces-- ity.
 The shortage of coal Is ascribed to a number of reasons, chiefly the d1latory work of the miners who have demanded a six hour working day and the scarcity of railroad cars Coal supplies in all ceutors of popu- lation are far below nOruaL and there is no prospect of au immediate improvement in the situation. Many persons have sought other means oI keeping warm One old man ard his wife. they are over eighty. have been in bed for a week because they have no coal in the house, and their daughter cares for them.

BEATING PRICES DOWN.

A speaker from Seattle, Wash, suggested at the recent conference of governors and mayors at Wash ington, D. C., that the mayors of cities make an effort to reduce the prices of nccessarieS of life. He sug gested that they call in their home merchants and ask them to take steps to get prices reduced all around
 This is something along the line of a movement started recently by the Flint, Mich, Board of Commerce. They called together $50 retailers of that city, and got them to agree to reduce prices. As a result some of them must have done business at a loss. But they report an increased trade, which they feel will help de- velop a broader business for the flu ture.
 It is question whether retail merchants should be asked to take such a, step before producers and wholesalers reduce prices. Retail trade Is being conducted, on mar TOW margin of profit, closer than 1 ever before.
 l But at least the retail trade should stand together in a, determined effort to persuade producers and jobbers to come off their perch. Merchants may well give saIeSmen to understand that the present high prices produce suffering and tend to upset business 1 Producers and wholesalers would much better be content with small profits, rather than bring on busi- ness depression. 1 The wholesale trade frequently
 gets the idea that 1t practically owns a certain set of retail dealers, and
 that these men will buy certain lines
