BIDDING FOR MATCH
OF BIG "HE4VIE.S'
Promoter of the Carpenter Dempsey
Bout Is Evidently Putting the
Matter Up to Competition.

San Diego, Cal, Jan. l0.--,Iack
kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, and
James W. Coffroth. promoter, who met
here to discuss plans for the proposed
match between Dempsey and Georges
Carpenter, for the worlds heavyweight
championship, planned TO visit Tijuana,
Lower California, after having given
local followers Of boxing something to
worry about.
This was suggestion that the con
test might not be staged at Tijuana, Ii
miles south Of here. Kearns announced
last night that he still had under con
sideration an offer by William Fox,
New York motion picture magnate, of
S550000 for the match. Later San
Francisco advices said a letter from
Coffroth published there said that if
his bid Of 100000 for the match was
accepted he might stage the contest
somewhere other than at Tijuana and
that he had speculated on the crowds
such an attraction would draw in New
Jersey, Connecticut and Baltimore.
The fans found some comfort, how
ever in Kearns' statement that he pre-
ferred to give Coffroth an opportunity
of staging the match, even at a sacrifice
of "a few thousand dollars" and in COT,
froth's assurance that Tijuana was the
place he had in mind for the affair.

Commercial Geology.

The study OF foreign mineral deposits
| and supplies by the geological survey
department of the interior, has fo1
years been incidental to the published
annual inventory of the mineral pro-
duction and resources of the United
States. During the war, however, this
study took on new Importance, and
work was begun on the study OF the
distribution of the worlds reserves of
the essential minerals, resulting IN the
compilation, for the use of the govern
ment. of A world atlas showing the
production and resources Of the more
important mineral commodities.
After the data thus compiled had
served the immediate confidential needs
OF the government itself the secretary
of the interior warmly indorsed the
proposal to prepare the material for
publication, so as to make it useful to
the general public
The ATLAS of Commercial Geology

will exhibit graphically the distribu-
ton of mineral production and of min

of mineral maps OF every continent.
The basic importance of the raw mate
rial resources to the country makes it
a prime public duty of citizens general
ly to know the facts regarding the
industry. and to ascertain these
facts the intensive study of our own
resources is not enough; we must also
acquire a comprehension of what min

Soldier Candidates.

A survey Of the vote in the recent
November elections shows hardly an in
| stance in which a veteran of the world
war upset party organization or de-
| feated organized opposition. In some
cases defeated soldier candidates ran
ahead of their tickets, but in many
more the voters disregarded entirely
appeals based upon service in the army

! won were carried through usually by
the strength Of their tickets as a whole.
