Trainers Declare Challeng

Tomorrow.

Toledo, May &S.-There will be no
boxing i'll the training program for
Jack Dempsey next week, Manager
Jack kearns and Jimmy Deforest.
chief trainer in the challenger's camp,
decided tonight. Deforest decided to
prohibit work with the gloves be-
cause of the danger of Dempsey 60
ing stale. The challenger may drop

Dempsey, his trainers say, is so
near being in top condition at pres
ent that he could enter the ring to-
morrow in practically as good ply
steal shape as he will be on the 4th
of July. He increased his ring work
to eight rounds today, and all but

Tom jones in Camp.
Tom Jones, one of the prominent
characters of the boxing world, and
Wizards manager for six and half
years, arrived here today to arrange
for special trains to bring fight dele
cations from Columbus, Ohio. He is
associated with Joe Tinker, president
of the Columbus baseball club, in the
venture.
Jones still retains his admiration
for Wizards ring prowess, despite
his split with the champion after pilot
ing him to victory over Jack John
son at Havana. Jones said that, in
his opinion, the only chance Dempsey
has to win is to land knockout.

from Dempsey" Jones said, "but Will
lard is too big. With his tremendous
size and great hitting power, knowl-
edge of boxing that will surprise his
enemies. and his ability to take pun
ishment if compelled to, he presents
a battlefront that, in my judgment,
cannot be penetrated"
Jones said that Willard is 40 years
old, which caused some surprise
among the ring sharps. He declared
that Willard did not begin boxing UNI
til he was 80 years OF age and be-
cause of his late athletic develop

Tides Of the Ocean,

the incoming and the outgoing of
the tides is caused by the gravita-
tlonal influence of the moon. The
moon, so to speak, draws or lifts the
water from the depths on the same
principle that Il pump lifts water.
And as with pump the water rushes
in to fill the space left; so the shall
low water near shore rushes out to fill
the extra space caused by rising of
the water on the principle that warer
seeks it's own level.

Replacing Knocked Out Teeth.

Teeth that are knocked out in box
ing. football or by falling against
something, need not be thrown away.
A good surgeon or dentist will clean
them and the cavity, replace them,
perhaps put stitch in the gum, per-
haps put a pad to bite on for about
forty-eight' hours, during WHICH you

THE HOUSING PROBLEM.

Bristol has a housing problem and it proceeds to settle it in the sensible Way-by building moro houses. It is planned to erect q number of homes sufficient to accommodate several thousand moro people who are cx- pected to take up their residence in that booming community.
 New Britain has a housing prob lem and nothing is done about if. Nearly every tenement in the city is occupied. If a worker in another place were anxious to come to this city with his family his initial prob lcm would be in securing a tenement. Unless he happened to be very for tunate he could not do this. Build ing is practically at a standstilI. Tn eXtenuatiOn of this condition 1t is claimed that the price of lumber is high and the cost of labor out of all proportion to returns, But lumber is equally as high in Bristol and if there
 is any difference in the cost of labor it is slight It is a self evident fact that until New Britain erccts more houses 1t must stand still.

 The advantage in holding the forum
