DEMPSEY LEARNS LESSON
NOT TO RELY ON BOXING
By Henry L. Farrell,


New York, April 3O.-Jack Demp-
sey got notion in his mind some
time back that he wanted to become
clever.
They say that man always wants
to be something else.
Eddie Foy wanted to play Shakes
peare. Frank Gotch wanted to be a
boxer. Babe Ruth wanted to star at
basketball. Dempsey wanted to be-
come boxer of the Britton class.
Training for that much talked Of
Brennan fight, the champion, SOCK
err by trade, worked out with Marty
Farrell, a very clever middleweight
boxer, and little Jacl Sharkey, a
fast moving bantam. Big numbering
Bill Tate, slow as an OK, was also
around in the role of punching bag.
In the ring against Brennan, the
champion tried some Of Farrell's box
ing tactics and he didn't get an inch
with them. He was greatly annoyed
at his inability to duck the left that
Brennan kept showing into his mouth.
About the sixth round, Dempsey
abandoned the clever tactics and
started mauling, line of endeavor at
which he is much more adept.
Training for Carpenter, the chan1-
pion now says that cleverness is going

Fifty Coal Mines Have Been
Destroyed By Flooding Due
to Miners Strike
ONLY THIRTEEN STEEL
FURNACES OPERATING
Train Service Is Reduced Fifty
Per Cent; Foreign Coal Will
Soon Be Required
(By United Press)

London. April 80 (By Lloyd AL
len. Fifty coal mines have been
destroyed by flooding. it was official
ly announced here today. This in
dictates the extent to which the en-
tire structure Of British industry is
collapsing under the pressure of the
miners strike. Further evidence OF
growing industrial paralysis is
shown in these conditions:
Only 13 steel furnaces are oper-
ating out of a total of 500. Train
schedules have been reduced so per
cent. ALI express trains have been
discontinued. Daylight saving is to
be extended another hour and all
dTghting curtailed.
The country is expected soon to be
dependent on foreign coal. A cargo
of German coal shipped by way Of
Holland was unloaded under police
protection.
Misery and hunger is growing. The
capacity of charitable institutions
will be taxed by the families of
workers thrown out of employment
as the direct result of the strike.

ILLINOIS BAR: WOULD
: MAKE DIVORCE LUXURY
(By United PresS)

Chicago, April 3O.-The worlds
"fed up on Fl. c. l.. stories, but
here's one with a pleasant refrain
and beneficial reaction.
Court and attorneys costs are get
ting so high as to discourage divorce.
The condition is becoming a factor in
keeping intact American homes.
Under new schedule which prob
ably will be adopted by Illinois law
yers, the minimum fee fer smashing
ties of the home is $135.
Alexander D. King, Jr., chairman of
an Illinois Bar Association commit
tee, suggested this change in ques-
tionaires sent out to members.
Added to the minimum would be
the per diem attorneys charge and
the court cost. Considering every
thing one is lucky to get out under
5000 on a divorce proceeding.

TRADE COMMISSION TO
CHECK UP COST OF LIVING
Antitrust Proceedings Started
Against United States Steel
Corporation Today
(By United Press)

Washington, April 3O.-The price
of food, homes and other necessities
will be directly checked by the anti
trust proceedings started against the
United States Steel Corporation by
the federal trade commission, officers
of the commission said today.
The council of the commission, by
a vote of three to two, attacks the
Pittsburgh price basing point prac-
tice a move which has been fought
by western steel producers and con-
sumers for more than a year. Under
this practice western consumers OF
steel pay basic price plus freight
rates from Pittsburgh even though
the steel is shipped from Chicago or
from points nearer the home of the
consumer.
One of the industries affected by
! this practice. it was pointed out
here, is the farm machinery manu-
featuring business. High prices Of
farm machinery have helped boost
food costs. Steel. also. has become
a large factor in building. 1t is, OF
course, one Of the building costs in
railroad operation which has fixed
the highest freight rates in the his
| tory Of the nation. In attacking the
price basing point practice the COM
mission charged that the steel cor
poratiOn has in effect controlled the
prices charged by it's subsidiary and
its competitions: that 1t controls the
greater part of their iron ore mines
as we'll as the rates of transportation
from the mines and that it controls
the coal mines and limestone quar-
ries.

Washington. April 30.--(Capital
News observation-disclosures of the
new congressional session promise to
drive home the outstanding domi-

typical exponent, of the virile Ameri-

gressional leaders are making it clear
they regard the often expressed senti-
ment of the country in behalf of the
Legion as a mandate to enact legls-

acter possible, tending to show appre-
citation of the sacrifices Of the World

The fact this expression comes
