which the arena is built is what has
excited the admiration Of the literary
persons from Chicago. They tell me
that for chaste simplicity it is the
equal to the stockyards. Also it is
like the stockyards from the point
Of view Of practicability. You can
herd the multitude down and up the
sixteen runways of the Rckard-
llournoy structure just as easily as
YOU herd the cattle into the cans in
the stochyards.
Candidly, it does not look as though
the arena will be packed on the Fourth

be some vacant chairs when the gladi-
ators step into the twenty-foot ring.

Pivot Punch Permitted

oriented as to his duties when the mill.
encounter or entertainment opens up.
Getting oriented is a military term for
flgurlng out Just where you stand and
what it as all about
OOHl1 al W general expectations, the
rabblt-or pital-punch, according
to Mr.. Pecord's Interpretation Of the
Queensbcrry regulations, is not barred
IN ONO. Neither is the pivot blow,
which used to be called the La Blanche
swing.
Those who can bark back far will
recall that the original Jack Demp-
sey, the Nonpareil, was knocked out
by George La Blanche, the marine,
who used the pivot blow. This blow
IS delivered by closing the eyes, turn
ing rapidly on one heel and letting
the right go at random.
La Blanche was taking something Of
beating from the Nonpareil when he
retreated and went through this evo-
luton. HIS flying fist caught Jack
Dempsey, the first, flush on the Jaw
and the Nonparei dropped to the mat
for the count. After that the original
Jack Dempsey passed from sight.
There is d very lugub brious poem
written about his unmarked grave in
Oregon. After reading the poem the
New York Boxing Commission barred
the pivot blow, partly out of respect
partly to prevent further poems.
Referee Pecord Explains
1t is hardly probable that Jess Will
ara VIII attempt 10 dispose OF the cur
rent Jack Dempsey with the pivot blow
But it might happen, the oldtimers
fear. With enough momentum behind
1t pivot blow from Willard would sit
Dempsey somewhere in the middle Of
Lake Erie, and there would be lot
OF poems written about the occurrence.
Il cannot see where the rabbit punch
can be barred unless by agreement"
declared Pecord. There is nothing in
the rules to prevent it. Of course, |
viii have to take this UP with the
Judges, Mr.. Rickard and Major Drcxel
Blddle. But, unless it is specifically
! forbidden, the rabbit punch may be
used, as far as | am concerned"
This blow is not particularly new.
Gunboat Smith used it with some slight
success. 1t consists of looping the
arm around an opponents neck and
bringing the fists against the base Of
the skull. Any one with slight &C
quaintancc with anatomy knows that
this is not nice place to be hit.
Also" added Mr. Pecord, 81 viii not
try to separate the men when they are
fighting with one hand free Only
when they seem to hug and hesitate
Will l call on them to break, AS long
as they keep fighting | will not annoy
them"

How about Dempsey two DAYS be-
fore the fight? This is his first cham
pionship affair. He was ready three
weeks ago, and he has now drawn d
three-day rest to think things over.
We have no idea what his mental
state IS. But look at his face would

Nervous Energy q Factor
This nervous energy can be vital

be tuned up to the proper pitch 1t
can also be vital factor toward fail
ure if it becomes drawn too tightly or
coordination fails to develop.
Every indication is that Dempsey
will be under a much keener nervous
span than Willard will be Under when
they finally sit face to face in their
respective corners. Dempsey, with a
Tar moro responsive nervous system,
has needed much more careful watching
than Willard has needed, whose nerve
cords are about as elastic and vibra-
tive as leather thongs.
This surplus nervous energy NAV
make or break Dempsey. Three weeks

In the meanwhile the last nail has
been driven into the arena, which now
waits for the human tide Of $4,000 non

are concerned, have become more over

GREAT ROAD BUILDING YEAR
Thousands of Miles of Improvement Arranged and More WilH
 Surely Follow.

From the passage of the federal aid road act to December 15, 1918, 755 projects were approved by the secretary of agriculture. These projects involve the improvement of 1867 miles of public roads at t0tnA estimated cost of $57, ,632 ,000 of which the federal government has been re- quested to contribute $21 ,602, ,000. There have been actually. completed to date twelve projects, involving Il. total of fifty-one miles of road, cost ing approximately $617548, and on which federal aid in the amount of $260,660.19 was paid.
 Altogether there are more than 7,500 miles of road, for which most of the steps preliminary to construc- tion have been taken so far as the. bureau of public roads is concerned. Numerous other projects not yet re- ported to the department have been completed or are under construction, so that the sum total of the road work now in progress under federal aid is greater than appears in this summary.
 From Florida to Maine, through the North to the Pacific coast and down to Mexico road building work is gO- ing on. Every state has accepted it's contribution from the government, and wfhle no organized effort has been made along those lines to the present time, the states are working gradually to the system of national highways.
 Coupled with plans already out lined for expenditures on the roads is the legislative program now before congress, which provides for $500. 100000 to be expended over period of seven years by federal aid. If is estimated that in the event of the passage of this bill, which would

Poland. one of the new democracies, was suffering from lack of foods that could only be supplied from America.
 Saved From Starvation.
 Hoover sent Dr. Vernon Kellogg 10 investigate the situation. Kellogg re- ported Poland must have immediate assistance from the outside world (which meant America) if the poorer inhabitants of the large cities and the unemployed workmen and children in the industrial centers were saved from starvation"
 Under normal conditions, Poland is self-supporting. as regards food. but four and half years of war haG brought the nation to desperate straits.
 German looters stripped all machines of copper and belting. Scores of ma chimes were wantonly destroyed. Tons of stuff were carried away by the Ger. mans.
 In all Poland. with its 100000 peo- pie, the danger of starvation was a daily menace from December, when
 
 food from America arrived.
 Take Security.
 It is with such nations as Poland that Hoover has to deal. There wat only one way to obtain some kind of compensation for American foods dis trbuted. This "one way" entailed con- siderable risk when one thought in terms of millions of dollars. But mill lions-in the old war game were mere pawns ill the gigantic enterprise of war And i'll the first reconstruction days they had to be viewed from the same standpoint. The one just meth cd, according to the Hoover policy. was to take some kind of security from the nations benefited by American sup plies. Each nation had different se- curity, Roumania had oil fields which formed basis of credit, if the world (America) sent food in time. The world needed oil, and Roumania need ed food.
 In Warsaw there was another kind of security; the wooden mills, which in peace times were among the finest in the world. Factories could not re- open, however, until the employees were fed. The population was weak ened from hunger. Feed the people !; they in turn will feed the securities" !" was the Hoover policy. The first need has been met by a gift ship from Amer ica. but 1t is only drop in the bucket.

 Paris Backed by S100o00000 voted by congress, Herbert Hoover is here directing America's big part in feed ing the falnine-threatened nations of Europe.
 But it is not the policy of Mir. Hoov- er's commission to give food away to the peoples now so sereIy pressed with reconstruction problems. They must pay--St! once, whenever possible. When they cannot pay they are to be given credit, with security that will insure America against total loss.
 Any other policy would mean the approximation of Europe, and Hoover has no intention whatever of conduct ing commission that would quickly put the millions of Roumania, Poland, and Serbia, to say nothing of the en- eny nations, into mighty bread line.
 With this fundamental policy as the basis of conducting a gigantic relief commission, Mir. Hoover first of all needed money and authority to start the machinery. He had come to Eu- rope with S5,0O0,000 apportioned from President Wilson's contingent funds to finance such immediate relief work as was found, upon investigation, to be absolutely necessary for the salvation of Europe's new democracies the Czecho-Slovaks, the Poles and Serbs, and also the Roumanians.
 Congress Votes $10o,ooo ooo.
 When Hoover had had a chance to look around, he discovered that $5,- 100000 was just about enough to finance food shipments for one of these nations. He did not single out one na- tion, however, but ordered eargoes ag- gregating $15,O00000 rushed from the United States at onee
 He trusted the American people to provide the capital needed. And when he got the first news of the final pas sage of the $1O0,000,000 appropriation in congress, an expression of relief came into his face that had not been there for weeks.
 With a small staff. Mr. Hoover has headquarters in the Hotel de Crillon, 3 in Paris, which has been turned into a combination office building and hotel for members of the American commits sion to negotiate peace.
 Some of MT. Hoover's most trusted aides are making personal inspections of the food situation in Poland, Serbia, and Austria.
 Dr. Alonzo Taylor's report from vi- enna is very interesting. He found the output of coal and agricultural products in Hungary seriously reduced during 1917 as the result of the war, and still further lowered dur Ing 1918.

VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE
Increased Supply of Fresh Vegetables May Be Obtained By Applying
 to Garden Soil.

The droppings from fowls, if care fully saved and applied to the garden soil, will increase the supply of fresh vegetables. Poultry manure is rich in nitrogen and is we'll worth the effort It requires to save and apply. The droppings from an average farm flock will amount to considerable fertility. during the year.
