BOXING HAD VERY
EVENTFUL YEAR AND
SEVERAL SHOWUPS

The past year was rather eventful
one in boxing. During the year Heavy
weight Champion Jack Dempsey de
tended the title twice with rather pecu1-
lar results. In his first engagement,
which was with Billy Miske, he met an
opponent who had been out of the ring
tor two years suffering from a serious
illness, and Dempsey won without half
trying III three rounds. At the conclu-
sion of that bout, which took place at
Benton Harbor, Dempsey again was
proclaimed the greatest fighting machine
the world had ever seen, just as he was
after he had won the title from the
gigantic Jess Willard
Dempsey lost no time in putting
Miske out of the running. In the sec
Ond round the champion ship a right to
sey landed another right handler on the
jaw and Mske went down once more.
AS soon as he arose another right to
the jaw and Miske went down for a
long count. Early in the third Demp-
the jaw put him down for the full
count.
But when the champion encountered
Bill Brennan of Chicago in the Garden
recently there was a different story to
tell. Instead of tearing in at the sound
OF the opening gong, as he had done in
all his previous battles, Dempsey began
to dance and duck and try to box lightly
and c1everly.
Dempsey kept up these tactics so long
that at the end of the 10th round he
had made but little progress Brennan
had traded blow for blow with him, and
was not far behind on points In the
18th the champion was bleeding badly
from cut lips and 1acerated ear, but
he shot left to the body and Brennan
crumpled up long enough to be counted
out.
Dempsey's actions were so different
from what had been expected of him
that straghtway the cry arose that he
had been greatly overrated. Dempsey
never pretended to be a fancy boxer,
and it is certain that the new role did
not fit him at all. But the next time he
enters the ring he may elect to employ
his natural fighting style, and when he
does those who are saying that he is a
misfit may again have to revise their
opinion.

BERLIN. Sept. 23.-Prof. Haber,
the inventor of the nitrogen from
the-air processes. which were used
in the Badische Anilinfabrik at
oppau where the explosion which
caused the greatest Industrial catas-
trophe in Germany's history occurred
is also the man who produced Ger
many's poison gas which was used
against the Canadians at Ypres, and
which now becomes one of the
greatest weapons of warfare.
Prof. Haber declares that in the
extraction of nitrogen from the air
no explosion is possible, and that
the by-products produced have never
been known to explode since the
first successful experiments at Nj
agara Falls in 1902. As the cause
remains mystery, the professor
believes that an investigation may

sion of heavy materials. not gases
From studying the causes we may
discover some thing new in explosive

Prof. Haber confirms the view
held by the American army in
France that Germany could have
won the war had it exploited gas OH

an experimental attack at Ypres, in
April, 1915. which brought results

In the professors study was
framed a picture of the gas attack.
The correspondent asked whether it
was true that he had invented the
poison gas as well as the nitrate
process.
Poison gas really grew out of
the experiments of the French po'
lice in their attack on the Apaches
in 1912" Prof. Haber replied. Early
in 1915 gas was employed by the
Germans and French in small guam
titles with no results. 1t was then,
while We were experimenting with
liquid commonly called gas be-
cause II became effective when 1t

BY RoBERT,J BENDER.

Monday the government begins
its effort to show the country 4
way out of unemployment aud the
path toward business revival.
Cabinet members in addresses and
statements have shown the way TO
temporary relief. They already have
launched campaign for good
roads construction; augmented con-
struction work. both as regards pub
lie buildings and private homes;
and the carrying into effect of con-
templated improvements and new
projects in public works. both State
and municipal.
Seeks Practical Results.
All these things will come up
during the forthcoming conference.
But it's objective will be largely
to get the people thinking along
practical lines by showing them
how to move in accomplishing re-
suits. Whether the results are ul-
tirately achieved will depend very
largely upon public pressure after
the conference points the way.
Anyone who believes that the con-
ference is to meet blindly and with
no preconceived idea of procedure.

some very definite ideas of where
and how remedies may be applied

results. They will be set forth in
the program when the conference
meets. ..-- -.--

The theory of the administration

The need of meeting the unem-

ment condition, or America may
