 The Associated Press correspondent met the formely imperial couple few days ago. Dressed as ordinary tour ists they had come here from Pran- gins on shopping tour, when the correspondent ran across them in the flower market. They were unaccom- panied and Karl was loaded with par cells. No one took any notice of the couple.
 Karl greatly embarrassed the Swiss President recently The former Elm peror. sent President Ador message announcing the birth of a son, adding he was happy and roud to feel that he had a son born in Switzerland, the cradle of the House of Hapsburgs." The ruins of the original chateau of the ESpsburgs built in 1920 still exists in the Canton of Argovie. but it is said that owing to the fact that for more than a centui n the Austrians have been considered as hereditary enemies of the Swiss, the Swiss Pres ident thought the message. from the former emperor was in doubtful taste.

BULL BAYOU FAMOUS
 FOR ITS LONG LIFE
Longevity of Producing One of the
 Chief Attractions to Investors

Shreveport, La, March 2o-(Special.) Homer pool with it's giant gushers of ss.25 oil is attracting more and more every day the attention of the oil world Fifty miles southwest of the Claiborne Parish prodigy is another oil field. the Bull Bayou district of Red River Parish which. while not famous for the size of it's wells. is preferred to the Homer dis trjct by many responsible operators for another characteristic just as important, if not more SO than the volume of pro- duction.
 This characteristic is. the longevity of the producing welsl of Bull Bayou and the consistent manner with which they continue producing day after day and month after month at the same rate they produced on completion. The average well in Bull Bayou is between 800 and 1000 barrels daily. but there are wells in Red River which have been producing at this rate for months and in the original Red River field, developed in 19l4-15, the majority of the completions are still pro ducing.
 Since early in December. 1919, when the Continental Asphalt and Petroleum Com pany completed a 5.000-barrel well on the Robinson farm in Section g, T. 13.s R 10.

ONLY TWO CHAMPS
FIGHT AT WEIGHT
Famous Sport Expert Says
Champions Dictate Weight
of Opponents.
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL.
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, March Bob Mar
tin and Pete Herman ought to make
a good scrap.
They are not in the same class.
Of course, but as an old-timer said
recently. They amt no classes no
more"
It seems 70 be true Weight elias
sificatiOns Of the various divisions
are what the respective champions
want them TO be.
Two Legits.
This has become so pronounced
that Jack McAuliffe, retired light
weight champion, and other experts
declare that Jack Dempsey and Jim
my wilde are the only champions
who can fight at their recognized
class weights. Pete Herman. Johnny
KiIbane. Benny Leonard Jack Brit
ton and Mike O'Dowd show the
greatest aversion TO making weight
for any challengers. Kilbane and
Leonard not only demand the right
20 weigh as much as they lease, but
dictate the weight of their oppon-
ents.
Lew Tender has been yelping
about Leonard for about a year.and
IL must be admitted that in most of
his recent fights the lightweight
champion has looked as rugged and
biz as a middleweight Johnny Dun
dee may bring the controversy to a
showdown if he persists in claiming
the championship for himself on the
grounds that Leonard cannot make
the weight.
No Complaints.
Britton and ODowd have not been
complained against as much as the
lighter boys because their divisions
are practically barred of contenders
but they don't relish the idea OF
stepping on scales in public. All OF
this emphasizes the fact that Amer
lea is in need of boxing supervision
America has two chances to ac-
complish this. One opportunity i:
by recognizing the Army, Navy anC
! Civilian board of boxing control
The other hope lies in amliatioI
with the international Boxing
Union, which has a recognized scale
of weights and the authority TO force
it upon fighters in Europe.

Under fire and theft policy cover.

tlon are issued. One is called q valued
policy and the other a non-valued in

The valued coverage is more essen-

form and far better than the non

the insurance company pays the full
amount claimed under the policy, with
oue oeductlng an allowance for depre-
cation value of the car. Under tho
