Where the "Y" Fell Down /

In an estimate of the Y. M. c. As fail ures and successes from the doughboy' s point of view. Herbert Corey, writing in
 Everybody's, says: "A minor example or the reasoning of one type of ex- ecutive is in the refusal to sell cigarettes to secretaries on Sunday in the Paris canteens. Other things are sold there Ttaicum powder and shoe laces and chew ing gum and what-not-but cigarettes are on the index expurgatorius. There is something devilish and menacing about a cigarette. It has been preached about and at. It is true that the experience of the war has shown that the men prefer the cigarette to other forms of manufac- tured tobacco. and the men do not seem to suffer in hardness. But the cigarette is a tool of satan. Therefore the sec- retaries must not have it on Sunday.

DEMPSEY HEAVIER
 | THAN WAS THOUGHT
Willard Goes Through II Rounds, Using Big Box
 ing Gloves

Toledo O.. June 17.-Jack Dempsey. matched to meet Jess Willard for the heavyweight championship here July 1, gave his admirers their biggest surprise today when he weighed himself on a set of tested scales and tipped the beam at exactly POI pounds. Dempsey was clad only in a swimming suit and boxing shoes, which weighed about pound
 The weighing was done publicly after A dinner at the challanger's camp, attended by Tex Rickard, promoter of the contest Mayor Schreiber; c. F. Wall, director of public safety; numerous sporting eelebri- ties and newspaper men. Even Jack Kearns, manager Of the challenger looked astonished when the beam passed over the 200 mark, He. announced yester- day Dempsey would scale about ls5 pounds
 The challenger's poundage was consid- erable of jolt to admirers of Willard, who had claimed that Dempsey's hard work under a scorehing sun would likely burn him out and send him into the ring against the champion in the light heavy weight class or around 1S0 pounds Dempsey appeared to be in perfect con- dition when he jumped on the scales There was not an ounce of superfluous flesh on his body, which has been burned to a copperrcoior as result of weeks of exposure to the sun.
 Willard boxed II S-minute rounds today, one short of the distance he will have to travel if he and Dempsey go the limit in the Fourth of July engagement. Joe Chip, middle weight of New Castle, Pa. and asbrother of George Chip, once mid dle-weight champion. joined Willard s staff of sparring partners and furnished the champion with the most interesting workout of the afternoon,
 Chip weighs more than 16o pounds but he looked like a lightweight against the champion He is fast, and speeded up Willard s work, to the delight of the big crowd Willard boxed three rounds with Jack Hempel, two with Chip, three with Jack Heinen and three with Walter Mon- ahan. He used 14-ounce gloves instead Of 1N-ounce ones to save his sparring part ners, who are nursing puffed lips and bruises as result of the mauling they received yesterday.

It was good game. If we could have gone twice as far as we did. Atlanta and Chattanooga would not have had a single thing on us. It is uncertain whether the Baron boosters could have sat through many more innings of such suspense as those latter ones were. That one pinch where there were three men on bases and Higgins at the bat was surely a nerve getter.
 After yesterdays game we will trust Kid Morrison against any ball club Tn the league. provided that he gets proper support
 Umpire Blackburn has human feelings and actions just like the rest of us. While a certain individual named Kelly had the whole Baron team chasing back and forth between first and second Kid" CD Blackburn awoke from deep reverie to find himself being pushed violently to- wards second base He bawled something at Kelly about being out of the base line and declared him out, as if an enterpris ing Baron had not already pounded him on the back. Although Kelly is not as slick as Eddie at lodging ball teams, he might have pulled it off if he had not collided with a hefty ump.
 The human feelings and actions come in when Blackburn discovered batting Kelly and making fun at him, If there was chagrined man on the diamond yes- terday, it was Kelly.
 Revivedl One trick called the hidden ball, as old as the cheese which composes the surface of old man moon. Our Eddie, one of the original inventors, is the one who did the thing.
 The Barons have only 20 more games which they can win on this home stay.
 Moley has let his youngsters drop off bit Where he formerly had six Barons above the 300 batting mark, he now has two, one by a small margin, and the other safely on the other side
 Chattanooga now has a close contender for her position of honor When Nash vile loses two more points she will tie the Lookouts for final position in the league standings.
 If our memory serves us correctly, we predicted in former times, that the wea- ther man would send rain to Birming- ham, when the Barons hit town. We have had warnings and threatening man. euvers each day. but as yet that is all.

Asst. Mgr. of Gents Fur nishing Department in Saks' Store Is Compli- mented on All Sides for His Improved Looks
STOMACH TROUBLE
 FOR TEN YEARS
States That He Feels Better Day by Day; No More Gas Nor Pains in His Stomach Since Taking Derco, the Root and Herb Juice Remedy

In the entire city of Birmingham there is, probably no better known business man in the younger set than MT. c. H. Parrish, who resides at 1032 South Eighteenth street and holds the very responsible position of assistant general manager of the gents depart ment in the big Saks Clothing com pany store. In speaking of his case, his wife said:
 For long time my husband has had an aggravated case of stomach trouble. Soon after eating he would suffer from gastritis, and the gas would be very annoying. accompanied by pains and griping. He began 10 stop eating first one thing and then another which he found disagreed with him. till finally he was starv- ing himself to death, because he knew if he ate those things he would suf- fer so intensely afterward, therefore he wouldn't eat and became weak and pale.
 "One day he read in the Birming- ham paper the testimonial of one of his personal friends, which stated he was cured of stomach trouble. exactly like his own, by taking the new medi- cine. Dreco. Right away he asked me to get him a bottle, which I did That was three weeks ago, and you would hardly think today that he 'was the same sick, weak person. Everyone he meets compliments him on his ill- proved condition, for it is very notices able. He is now eating anything he craves, and it is not disagreeing with his stomach, and the gas has been en- tirely eliminated. We are very appre- ciative indeed for what Dreco has done for him and we hope the state- ment of his case may lead some other sick person to entire relief"
 Dreco is purely vegetable contain ing no iron. mercury, potash or other harmful minerals. It acts on the vital organs in a prompt and pleasing fash ion. relieving headaches, gastritis, bil- iousr ess and other troubles originat- ing from the sluggish action of these organs.

RULE COVERING
 LONG-AND-
 HAUL NECESSARY
Present Act Lays Down No Rule of Law Which Can Be Followed, Says Com
 missioner Clark

By Associated Press

By ASSOcidteO Ffess
 Washington, June 17.-Sorne rule Of law covering the present application of the long-and short haul clause of the interstate commerce act is neees- sary. the Senate interstate commerce committee was told today by Interstate Commerce Commissioner Clark.
 "The commissions task at present requires it to deal with conflicting in- terests of communities and territories when those interests are completely ir- reconciliab ble." he said. The present act lays down no rule of law which can be followed"
 Commercial competition. not the cost of service, underlies rate-making, MT. Clark said.
 That's the reason most of the rail- roads in the country are busted today, isn't it?" asked Senator Robinson or Arkansas.
 s.It has had great deal to do with bringing about their financial dtffi- cuIties." MT. Clark responded
 Traffic has been built up without and consideration for the return, or lack of return, which it's creation has i brought the roads
 MORE POWER NEEDED Power to prescribe minimum rates and to control water as we'll as rail carriers would assist the commission, Mir. Clark said, adding that the com missions rate policy had been based partially on the theory that healthy competition between rail and water carriers was to the best interests Of the country.
 Among, instances citied to show rate discrimination against the area which he represented, G. B, Graf of Boise, Idaho, testified before the committee that it was wool schedule. Wool is shipped west from Idaho into Portland, Ore, for compressing and back east to Chicago or Boston for SIPS per 100 pounds while on a shipment directly east over the same lines, the rate from Salt Lake City to Mississippi points IS S162
 Commissioner Clark said the com mission would not "excuse, apologize for, or defend" this, but said that It might never have been taken up. A J. McGhee of Jackson, Tenn. said that his city had "20,00o people and would now have 75.o00 if railroad rates had been made on a just basis through out the southeast"
 "The long and short haul bill Is all that will give us justice" he asserted. "The present miXup in freight rates results because CuhrBoo hHNo o~~i. levied on commercial conditions and competition rather than derived from any state of facts of any kind.' In behalf of the California Citrus league, composed. he said. of l2,0oo fruit growers and shippers in that state R. K. Loss attacked the bill. Our members feel that the passage of the bill would result in geenral increase in freight rates he said. "be- cause carriers would lose the water competitive business which now pays in nart their cost of operation." Charles A. Lyman, for the national board of farm organizations, said the bin was needed because 1t opposed national policies which tend to build up big centers of population instead or developing the interior"
