Hospitals in Siberia Utilize Old Tin
Cans
Milk cans, water buckets and old
gasoline tins served as emergency
equipment in Serbian hospitals hastily
constructed in the remote districts
by Red Cross physicians and nurses
who are on duty in this country. No
other equipment was available.
The hospital units have been
obliged to use iron cots without
springs, handmade wooden tables,
dressing stands and medicine closets
roughly constructed from used pack
ing boxes. The milk cans are used
for dippers. Stoves are made from
cement and iron. instruments are
few, dressings are sterilized and used
over and over again, and what few
rubber gloves are on hand are patch
ed and repatched with tire cement
until they literally are reduced to
shreds.

SON that Baron Maurice dc Roths-
child, hir1self one of the largest Lwn-
ers in France as well as deputy for
Pau, has brought the matter 20 the
attention Of the French chamber.
Baron dc Rothschild has asked the
chamber to pass a law for the sup
preston Of book making in Paris and
largest cities in France, The books to
be replaced by pari- mutual booths In
the citieG.
The French government receives II
per cent on all moneys taken in at
the pari-mutuai booths at the var
ious tracks. AS the amounts bet at
the differsnt tracks vary from $780,
900 to 100000 francs daily The
French government derives from the
racing Industry a revenue OF be-
tween 500, 900 and 1000, 900 francs per
day.
Baron de Rothschild said in the
French chamber that more money
was bet with the books operating In
Paris each day than at the tracks;
estimating that 10000 900 francs per
day were wagered in the city alone.
This is net loss of 100000 francs
day for the government. He charg-
ed that several races had been run
with such fragrant evidence OF crook
edness that had such racing been at
tempted in England or America the
owners. trainers or Jockeys would
have beer ruled off the turf for life.

1t has been alleged that the book
makers gather In all the city money
in the forenoon, no bet being &C 3ept-
ed under any circumstances after one
O'Clock. This gives them ample time
to journey to the race track pnd, if
they find that they are overloaded on
any one horse and stand to lose too
much, to use a little persuasion on
the jockey plotting the animal.
Jockey Brethet has Just been ruled
off for life. He was UP on Zizanie II
an overwhelming favorite with the
public He ala not finish in the money
and his bad riding was so evident,

an expert in the gentle art OF pulling
a horse) that the judges summoned
him into the stand. He promptly adj
mitted having pulled the horse but
claimed not to be acquainted with the
men who had made 1t worth his while
to lose the race.
This Is one instance out of many
which Baron de Rothschild says will
kill racing In France unless the gov
eminent takes stern measures for
the suppression Of bookmaking in
Paris.

Retains Lightweight Championship
BY Winning in Nine Rounds.
Benton Harbor. Mich. July 6.--It
took Benny Leonard, worlds light
weight champion. nine rounds to right
cross Charley White Of Chicago. his
challenger, to sleep in Floyd Fitz-
simmons' new arena Sunday after
noon, but he didn't accomplish the
victory until after one Of the great
est and most thrilling battles ever
seen In any ring. Leonard won in
this desperate struggle with Chi
cago's left hook artist, and won
most decisively, but not until after
he had been accorded punching treat
ment that is seldom tho lot Of a
champion.
This was a battle in which brain
work counted more heavily than any
thing else. That Benny Leonard is
champion instead of ex-champion to-
day can be attributed to his wonder
full use OF the gray matter with which
he fortunately Is endowed. He Is
puncher, but White clouts harder
with that left hook than Benny with
his right cross, his best wallop. The
comparison, as far as alert thinking
is concerned, shows White at a de-
cided disadvantage.
While some $4,000 men, women and
some children in the Benton Harbor
arena watched this afternoon, they
saw this champion of the world. who
before the fight was quoted in local
betting as a to 8 choice to WIN,
with even money that he would knock
out White. make losing battle for
eight rounds.
They saw White in the fifth round
cut loose with one Of his left hooks,
catch Leonard flush on the Jaw. and
knock him clear thru the ropes in his
own corner. 1t looked then as If the

Morning Grain Gossip.

FURNISHED by B. c. Christopher & Col
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 2S-The Tribune:
GRAIN: Sentiment in the grain trade is
September corn as the best sale, despite
the large concentrated holdings by cash
houses and industries. Indications are
for increased arrivals next week. Points
in Iowa and Illinois that have not shipped
any .vrn for years are asking for cars, and
the largest corn handling railroads operat-
ing in these states are trying to furnish
them.
Sentiment in wheat is becoming more
strongly defined. Many arguments are
being presented on both sides. Reports
from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Missouri
indicate the bulk of the surplus wheat
has already been shipped and only suf-
ficient remains on hand to supply the
normal milling demand within the bor
ders of these states, until the 1921 crop
is harvested. There is a strong d1sposi-
ton to hold for $50 at country loading
points.
Wheat and all grain prices in all mar
kets are TO readjust to the new freight
rates, as cash handlers see it. The de-
cline in wheat in Minneapolis yesterday
represented the difference between the old
and new billing. This may become APP
parent in other markets. New billing on
all grains will bring the freight difference
under the old rates in a few days Corn
to arrive was 3 cents under that carrying
old billing.
Provision traders are expecting local
stocks of lard to show small increase for
last half of August and short ribs a
decrease.
