President and Mrs. vOn KleinSmil Leave For
 South America

The Board of Regents of the Uni versity have voted President Von klienSmid leave of absence for six ty days. It was the idea of the Board that at least this length of time should be taken by the President for rest and recreation after the strenu- Ous work of the last six years during which time he has had no vacation at all. With the rapidly growing insti- tuition and the multiplication of new university interests, it has been lm- possible to find relief for vacation a. mong the increased burdens falling upon the administration. However, in the light of the great opportuni ties opening in the Latin-American countries for increased commercial and social intercourse, Dr. Won Klien- Smid has decided to spend his two months in trip to Panama and down the West Coast of South America. Under the encouragement and asslS- tance of the Federal Department of State and the Pan American Umon of Washington, D. C., he will visit the institutions of higher learning in Pan anna, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Chilli returning to Arizona early in Decem- Der Official invitations have been received by him from these institu- tions through their several embassies and legations in Washington and such arrangements are being made as to afford the best possible opportunities for gaining first-hand knowledge of these countries and their institutions. This is in line with the larger policy of the University inaugurated by Pre- sident von KleinSmid to the effect that the institutions owes it to her students and her State to bring into consideration and discussion prob lens of world significance rather than to limit the interests of the lnstitu- tion to matters of academic and local consideration alone.
 As an American educational advis- CT of the Republic of Mexico, the President hopes to obtain much first hand knowledge which will be of as- sistance in the educational reorgani- zation of that country.
 Mrs. Von KleinSmid will accom- pany the President on this trip. They will sail from New Orleans October 18th on the United Fruit Company's steamer "Cartago" for Panama. This will necessitate their leaving Tucson Saturday evening, October 9th.

Making it Realistic

They were discussing embarrassing situations and Charles Murray told how Mack Sennett, the comedy king once put him in a very awkward fix, all in the cause of realism.
 "Now in this scene" said Sennett, "go over there and kiss those bathing girls. Then their escort will punch you and you run"
 But" protested Murray, "those aren't our bathing girls. Those girls don't belong to the company"
 q know that" said Sennett. "Con- sequently you'll kiss them much more realistically and their escorts will punch you much more realistically, and we'll get a more realistic scene" Houston Post.

COOPERATION KEY- NOTE OF PARK-TO-
 PARK COMMISSION

Cooperation is marking the pro gress of the official party dedicat- ing the National Park-toPark High way, which is to be followed, in Den yer, Nov. 11-13, by an all-west con- vention in which this city will be rep resented. Congress will be impress ed with the necessity of hard-surfac- ing this 5,590mile continuous motor way. Nine states are aroused.
 InColorado, voters will be asked to pass bond issue of $5,OO0,000 for inn provement, in part, of the park-con- meeting highway. Wyoming, accord ing to William R. Weeks, state high way commissioner, says work has been started which calls for good roads between the leading cities. Montana, interested in $20,000,000 irrigation and road bond issue, is alive to its possibilities.
 H. A. Templeman, secretary of the executive committee of the Montana Highway Association, in writing T. J. Ehrhart, Colorado state highway com missioner, said: "The objects which the park -to-park association seeks to accomplish, as we'll as the publicity derived from meetings of the offic- ial party while in Montana, did more to promote interest in good roads, and particularly to create sentiment in favor of the passage of our state bond issue bill, than any one thing which we have experienced in the last twelve months"
 At Newport, Washington, The Min CT, in it's account of the meeting there said: "The proposed interstate bridge at Newport was called to the atten- ton of the dedicators, and We feel sure that the establishment of the highway will assist in securing re- cognition for our bridge project"
 w. Bassett, district engineer of Idaho, has asked that figures on the. traffic across the ferry at Newport be furnished the Idaho Highway Depart ment for incorporation in the annual report of the department to the ii,- coming legislature.
 Other Pacific coast commonwealths are expected to take progressive steps of a similar character, making initial state expenditures to convince Congress that greater accessibility to the people in reaching the national parks is imperative to the future well fare of the West.which Stephen T. Mather, director of the National Park Service who joined the official party at Portland, last week, has been telling enthusiastic audiences in Ore gon and California.
 The party is getting big welcomes in coast cities, and is maintaining its outlined schedule in it's travels. The tour will be completed, in Denver, the starting point, November 9. The con- vention will seek federal aid in the stupendous road-building campaign.

how short until he CHANGED to meet

the Green Forest. He was very ele-

BICATTRACTION
New Workers Can't See Him as
Conqueror Of Jack Demp-
Sey, However.
LOOKS FAR TOO LIGHT
LAY LACK vEIocKA

New York, March 24.-Can this be
Georges Carpenter? Is this blonde
stripping the heavyweight champion
OF Europe who has come to uncrown
Jack Dempsey?
New York asked these questions
TODAY and brushed imaginary films
from doubtful eyes as the French
champion began to feel at home on
Broadway.
Twenty-four hours after ARRIVING
here from France the debonair
Georges has both captured and mys-
titled Gotham. Curious crowds linger
in the lobby of his hotel seeking a
glimpse. Wherever he appears he is
the cynosure of all eyes. His Euro
pean triumph is evidently conta-
gious. 1t promises to become an cpl
demic in America.
While Georges and his bride were
taking in the sights OF the metrop-
oils today, New Workers. were indus
triously trying to figure how the
French boxer, who stands five feet
ten inches tall and does not look the
172 pounds he claims, hopes to dis
pose of the champion in half dozen
rounds.
"How Gomez" they ask. Didn't this
Dempsey fiatten Willard, the behe-
moth of the age? He did. And since
he became good no opponent has
even given him a hard workout.
Then where does Carpenter figure?"
Hasn't Lines Of Champ.
This was the line of reasoning that
occupied the minds of the boxing
fans today. There was no tendency
to discount Carpenters reputation
as a great fighter or belittle his
widely heralded ability. but the fans
admit that he simply hasn't the lines
OF a 1920 model heavyweight cham
pion, figuring that the Dempsey type
is the accepted standard.
Compared to the champion, with
his greater height, breadth OF shonl-
der and typical fighting features
Georges leaves much to the imag-
nation when figured as the leading
heavyweight contender. But he has
come, and as far as popularity goes
he has conquered.
AS for conquering Dempsey-his
campaign is still In the converse
tional stage.
