Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. II.
IF THE war had only lasted a few
L weeks longer Jack Dempsey might
have been caught in the draft and been
in the uniformed service.
This was the substance of signed
statement issued today by Jack kearns,
manager of the heavyweight champion.
Dempsey held the nom de plume of
labor scout" during the war.
Kearns relates how Dempsey was
classed "A, and then was put in Class
IA of the draft. This was hastily

months of the war it will be seen from

answer to American Legion posts all
over the country. which are framing
resolutions that Dempsey is unfit to
represent American sport, that he is a
Stacker" and that red blooded Amer
leans don't want to see him fight in
this country.
California and New Jersey have re-
pudiated the accused man and refuse to
have anything to do with the fight.
Dempsey was frequently broke"
during the war. says Kearns. who now
demands at least 100000 before
Dempsey will fight. to make up for this
injustice, it is supposed, forgetting that

he had a swell chance to fight in France
for S33 month, which would have
helped.

BIG RAILWAY SALARIES.

There were % men in the rail-
road administration with salaries
of $4,000 or more. and 200 who
received 100000 or more. Some
people think too much money was
spent for salaries.
If any of the positions were
gained by personal pull, the SAL
airy was too much. But if these
men got their jobs as the result
of long experience and high de-
gree of skill in railroad operation
they were the cheapest men for
the public, and will not be released
now that companies come into
their own
A $4,000 salary would be only
about one hundredth of ! per cent
of the gross earnings of the Penn
sylvania railroad, even as they
were in 1916. before the war. IF a
good operating man enabled the
Pennsylvania to do even per cent
more business on the same costs
it would pay his $4,000 salary 1O0
times over A man who can handle
big volumes of business economic
ally is cheap at any price.

HL-EED CHILDREN.

Hunger is natures first law.
There are many struggling families
in which children suffer from lack
of adequate food.
If such child lives near a fruit
stand and sees a chance to slip a
banana he will do it, If he lives
near fruit trees and gardens, he
will feast from them, 1t becomes
second nature to take what he
needs. BY and by he takes to
sneak thieving like a puppy to a
bone. From that he goes on to
mature crime,
If the ill-fed child is the result
of family misfortune, the commu-
nity has a duty to fill his stomach.
If he is the result of wastefulness
or ignorance, the community has
also a duty in educating the par
ents. Are there any ill-fed chill
dren in albuquerque whom hunger
Is the cause of starting crime?

described as ''mixed gray Doubt
less there were times when the gray
eyes of the father of his country
looked as black with the fire of
determination as ever did those of
Napoleon or Caesar.
If you should analyze this Ma
poleonic eye--this eye that is SO
often to be found in the heads of
men who hold commanding posi-
tons in the worlds affairs-you
will see that the orb itself is gray.
The impression of darkness is
something that comes with the
placing of the eye in the eye
socket, the contour of the lids,
flashes and brows, and the facial
expression. Often the darkness is
due to the fact that the pupil is
fairly large and the eye luminous
for the man of genius or ability
usually does have eyes that are
brilliant. And so it may happen
that two gray eyes of the same de-
gree of fermentation may appear
quite different. The one belonging
to man or woman possessing
force of character. deep purpose,
mental alertness and powers of
concentration will look dark, ex-
tremely dark at times, as did
Caesars and Napoleons. But the
same eye in the head of the man
who takes things as they come, the
man who dreams rather than acts,
this eye will remain simply gray.
You may find women with gray
eyes praised by poets and occa-
sionally they appear on the can
vases of the great painters; but
the gray eyes that look black sell
dom finds place in the feminine
ideal of beauty. 1t is too much
the eye that commands--too force
full, too compelling accord with
mans ideal of a beautiful woman.
Doubtless there are women who
have had this eye. There are
actresses who have gray or blue
eyes which in moments of tense
emotion appear to be black. But
the beau ideal'' of lovely woman
hood Is usually the eye that is blue
like sapphire" "sepia brown like
heavy velvet" ''black like the skin
of ripe olive" or "hazel like the
reflections of trees In woodland
pool."

SPRING PLANTING is

East Las Vegas, N. M, Feb. 29.--
Spring planting is beginning in this
region. Through the count agents
office several carloads of Marquis
and Macaroni wheat, raised in San
Miguel and Mora counties, have
been sold for seed. Winter wheat,
sown last September, is reported
as doing well, despite the fact that
the winter has been dry. A large
amount of moisture in the soil and
not much wind is responsible for
the wheat's good condition. The
acreage will be about the same as
last year. Seventy-five per cent Of
the wheat and all grains in this
section IS raised upon dry land The
greater part of the irrigated tracts
are used for alfalfa.
Cattle and sheep have come
through the winter so far in excel
lent shape. Losses have not been
more than per cent, due not to
lack of grass or to bad weather
conditions, but to accidents, stray,
depredations of animals, etc The
losses have been considerably be-
