Paris, Dec. 12.-Havas.)-|
Georges Carpenter yesterday issued
challenge to Jack Dempsey for a
bout for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world.
The French heavyweight, who re-
Gently won the championship Of Eu-
rope by knocking out Joe Beckett
in one, minute and 10 seconds, has
addressed the challenge through his
manager, Descamps, in care OF the
secretary of the International Box
ing union. Carpenter offers to
meet Dempsey at any place for the
best purse offered at any time nut
tually agreed upon. Manager Des-
camps, It is announced has deposit
ed the sum of $4,000 francs with
Paris sporting publication as guar
antee to bind the match and a
pledge of Carpenters sincerity.
This direct challenge issued by
Carpenter to Dempsey to fight for
the worlds heavyweight champion
ship, virtually assures match dur
ing the coming year. The American
title holder has expressed his will
iinenes. to face the French boxer,
and there remains only the agree
ment on the terms and conditions to
govern the contest
Former Bouts Insignificant.
When the articles of agreement
finally are signed it will be found
that all former purses and similar
inducements given to championship
heavyweights in the past will have
been dwarfed into insigni6cance by
the sums to be handed to the fig ht-
ers for the first international ring
battle of importance In years. John
son and Jeffries divided SOL 900 for
their Reno bout and the Willard.
Dempsey purse at Toledo amounted
to nearly $4,000. Dempsey and
Carpenter are quite likely to battle
for a purse approximately twice as
large as that offered for the Willard
Dempsey match.
The division probably will be ar
| ranged upon = 6O-4O basis, the
larger share to 60 to the winner
or the present title holder, as the
agreement may call for. Several
American and European fight pro-
moter. of strong financial standing,
are already endeavcrfng to sign the
hcavyweights to binding contracts.
The rivalry to obtain their sigma
lures promises to furnish bitter
and exciting struggle in which sums
running into hundreds Of thousands
of dollars will be offered in turn
by rival promoters.

whether Dempsey would agree to

restrictions were placed in the ar

The impression appears to be
growing in America that Carpenter
will prove to be one Of the best
opponents to face Dempsey since
the latter donned gloves. The
Frenchman, ring veteran of long
experience, is credited with being
an exceedingly clever boxer and a
fast, hard-hitting fighter.

National Crop Improvement Service1
IN order 70 give an idea as to the
\ amount of potato -four which should
be used in our country, it may be
said that there are more than twenty
i've billion pounds Of wheat flour milled
annually in the United States. One
per cent OF potato -four could be abb
sorbed to great advantage.
In normal times we could use 5 per
cent of potato flour with our wheat
to good advantage.
In the process Of manufacture pota-
toes are first passed through a washer
in which the whole potatoes are pad
died around, and it is surprising how
clean they are when they are lifted by
the last set Of paddles out of the rims
ing water into the hopper Of the eleVa-
tor which carries them to the storage
bin above the cooker. From the bin
they are dropped into the steam
cooker as needed, which on an average
is about 500 pounds at time.
From the steam cooker the potatoes
are passed through machine which
has two immense hollow rollers side
by side, which take on a coating of the
previously steamed cooked potatoes
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-09-17

This coating of potato flakes is scraped
off, and looks very much like cream
colored paper, although very brittle.
The dry sheets are then broken up by
spiral screw cOnveyors and carried by
strong draft through a pipe to the
mill below, which pulverizes them into
flour.
This process cen be repeated about
every thirty minutes. American po-
tato factories have been established at
Idaho Falls, at Grand Rapids, Wis,
Bemidji, Mimi, and Cadillac, Mich,
and others are in process of erection.
The,sexcellent bread-baking quality
of natural POTATO flour comes from the
fact that the whole potato with all its
valuable componentS is steamed and
the steamed potato is quickly dried on
the hot cylinders, thereby expelling
only the moisture but retaining all of
the flavor and tastes like a baked po-
tato.
All Of the starch granules Of this
product have been opened by the proc
ess Of steaming and quick drying,
| which results in a baking flour which
can be added to wheat and rye to al
most any desired extent without gac-
l rifcing taste or nutrition

MEXICAN MINES
(RY Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, Sept. illegal pre-
cedent for the republic of Mexico to
nationalize its lands which are now
devoted to the production of petrol
cum is claimed in a statement recently
furnished to The Associated Press by
Leon Salinas, subseCretary of the de-
partment Of commerce and industry
which has this question in charge.
Laws and statutes governing the de-
velopment of coal and oil deposits date
back to the days Of the yicerOys in
Mexico, the statement says, and since
that time there has been a series Of
DEGREES and laws that firmly estab-
fishes the rights Of the republic in this
regard.
The question is now in the hands Of
the Mexican congress for revision with
a view to adjudicating claims made
by foreign companies with vast inter
eStS in Mexico.
AS early as 1893 the Spanish govern
ment by laws known as Mining Sta
tutes Of New Spain," established the
absolute dominion of the crown over
mines and their products in Mexico,
says the statement.
Benito Juarez, president Of Mexico,
decreed in 1868 that the nation has
direct dominion over coal beds.
Mining Code of 'e4.
The president in 1884 issued the
first mining code of the Mexican re-
public which declared, in substance,
that the coal and oil of the subsoil
belonged to the owner of the surface.
This principle was followed in the
mining laws issued by congress in
1892 and in 1910.
The statement declares that later,
in 1917, Article q Of the Constitution,
the proposed amendment to which has
been submitted to congress by Presi-
dent Carranza, recognized the dOmin-
ion Of the nation over the hydrocar-
! bons and the system of concessions
for the exploration and development
! Of petroleum. 1t is claimed that the
law which is now proposed is founded
upon the principles Of the Constitu-
! ton.
