THE ONCE OVER
By Fl. '. PHILLIPS

when he was real angry and in a fighting mood? In such a state of mind he is very savage. He loses all control and there is no use trying to sit down and reason with him. He will fairly leap at you at the very suggestion of a barley. And the worst thing about a grassohpper is that he will not stay put" as the saying goes. Even though you pin him down to something. he will fly off to some thing else the moment your back is turned.
 Of course, you may pursue a grass him but a man looks so alarmed foolish trying to out-hop one! And neighbors do talk so!
 Personally, we let grasshoppers go their way. but if it is true that they have taken to mobilizing their forces and attempting mob violence they will find they have gone a step too far. That's the trouble with certain elements of our population: you give them an inch, and they take a mile; presently they try jumping all over youi
 At last reports the First Army of the Grasshoppers of Southwestern America were nearing Fl Paso Coun- ty, Colorado. If the commanding grasshopper knows anything he will disband his forces before the thing goes too far. Or presently he may find he hasn't leg to stand on.

WHEN MAN FATS TO LIVE

One of the first things a young man who wants to see the world should learn is how to eat. Otis Warren Barrett says so. and if any one knows he. does. He has been wandering into queer parts of the world for the government for years past and he is never sick.
 Train the palate" says Mir. Bar rett. T can live on. palm oil chop in Liberia or raw fish in Japan and never have a qualm- may not prefer monkey boiled in grease and eaten with the bare hand. But I can eat monkeys with the best of monkey eaters. The man who is particular about his chop had best stay at home-''
 MT. Barrett has made a success of wandering. He is one of the greatest of our agricultural experts. His latest exploit is to teach the natives of the palm countries how to make white sugar out of palm sap-which they never knew before-by which process four hundred and fifty thou- sand tons of the finest sugar imagin- able has been added to the sugar total of the world. In all his years of wandering in swamp and. jungle he has never been seriously ill.,. and he attributes this in part to the fact that he can live at the local table without repining.
 "Cassava paste isn't very good said Mir. Barrett. reminiscently. "It doesn't taste like anything. and it is so sticky that if man were to at tempt to chew it his jaws might be i, clamped together or perhaps his teeth might be pulled out. One just makes little ball of it, rolls it in gravy as lubricant, and lets it sliI down"

COREY SAYS CARPENTER DEMPSEY FIGHT WAS ONE SIDED MURDER; FOREIGNER
 JUST ORDINARY FIGHTER

or Gibbons is at this moment a fit match for Dempsey. but the Ameri- can public went wild about Carpen- tier. There isn't a doubt that he was the sentimental favorite throughout the fight.
 Y The truth is that we had been Creek godded and beflowered to a .point at which we-the public--were about ready to twine roses in our hair. Carpenter is nice looking man. His nose is rather prominent his eyes are good. his hair is blond, his legs straight, and he has a pleas ant expression. You can match i'm to the last item in any haberdashery, but if you dropped into the necktie mart and hinted to the salesman that he was Greek god he. would either put you out. or else. rightfully de- ciding that you were coocoo. he would call for the wired wagon.
 < How the Lady Writers Raved
 Lady writers raved about Carpen- tiers legs. which seems to me. an old fashioned person. as severe thing for a lady writer to do. They were pair. more shapely. stronger. and about as fast Eminent authors told of Carpenters luminous eyes. His bathrobe came in for kisses. He was called fragile and slender and wrath like. Whereas l submit that 172 pounds of muscular flesh. trained to the last minute, cannot rightfully be termed a wrath. Some one draped the lilies of France about his brow. One cartoonist drew a picture in which Foch and Joan of Arc and Henro of Navarro and Napoleon. and every other great character of Fran. , cfa f~, ffov- -fe-

NEW YORK. July POI his is cold. gray dawn stuff. It is written days after the fight between Dempsey and Carpentier. Or, more accurately. days after MT. Carpenter hit Mir. Dempsey once, ineffectively. and then pugilistically died with his boots on. It isn't story of the fight or the fighters, though they appear in it. It is rather a few coupled-up reflec- tions upon our national liking for temporary neurosis-
 The truth. as the truth appears to me. is that almost 100000 people at a total cost to themselves of more than a million and a half dollars, kidded themselves at Boyle's Thirty Acres into the belief that they had seen great fight. Whereas, bless their hearts, in the conviction of the under signed they had been the willing wit nesses of a one sided murder.
 In my story immediately after the fight I said that Carpenter had never had a chance. That he had but one blow, and that had crumpled against Dempseys steel defenses. That he knew nothing whatever about in fighting, and that while he was mag nificently game gameness is thing expected of pugilist.
 Iron Joe Grim's Record
 Iron Joe Grim, by that standard. is more heroic than Carpenter, because it used to take the best of them ten or twelve rounds to put him out. Sometimes he never was put out. but. chopped, beaten. pulped. bleeding. swollen, hung on to the end of the route. Yet no one ever thought of Iron Joe as a hero. He was a bit of raw meat hrown to the carnivorous lions of fight fandom. Whenever he fought they knew they would see gore.
 I have seen no occasion to change my opinion since then. But to it has been added sort of a wonder at the extent to which the American people can succumb to mysteries. Every one who cared to know knew precisely what Carpenter is and might be. He had one good hand and great speed. By the combination he had been able to whip many men who lacked shock absorbing qualities. He had become light heavyweight champion of the | world by licking poor old Battled Levinsky (and that "Battled." MT ! Proof-reader. is Intentionally. He wasn't Battling" any more when Carpentier took his faded wreath away. Nothing that Carpenter had | ever shown made him appear a fiji | nically he was about the only chal- lenger in sight.

rHE aRAAsHoPPnR PERIL


 Just as fast as America passes one crisis something else comes along to menace it's peace of mind. Now it s an army of grasshoppers.
 From Colorado Springs comes the war bulletin that an army of grass hoppers 15 miles wide and 20 miles long is advancing across the country. recruiting new members as it ad- vances. They have the jump on all opponents and are said to be hop ping mad about something.
 Dealing with the ordinary grass hopper is a rather easy matter if one cares to deal with one. But when they become militant and mobilize It is different matter You cant keep a good grasshopper down. as the old saying goes; hence keeping an army of them down presents very real ob- stacles America. it is feared, is to- tally unprepared for defensive or az gressive warfare against grasshop- pers.
 You recall, of course, what Kipling said in that famous battle poem, Gunga Something or Other:
 With his moosick on his back,
 He would skip to the attack.
 Skipping to an attack has ever been a great war tactic and nobody can do it like a grasshopper. They are great shippers.
 Have you ever seen grasshopper
