Red Cross Help
ing in the Public
Health Service

Milwaukee, Wis, June 24.--Public
Health work, in the aid and co-ordin-
alton of existing public health agen-
cies, is the major peace time activity
Of the American Red Cross, George
r. Bedinger, Of New York, director
Health Service Department, Amer
lean Red Cross, told the delegates 10
the National Conference Of Social
Work here today.
The program of the Red Cross
Health Service consists mainly of a
broad statesmanlike plan of Public
Health Education ana Information,
under which the Red Cross is per-
forming certain joint Services for the
Public Health Agencies of the city of
New York, which it would be difficult
for any one agency to do so well for
itself alone" Mr. Bedinger added.
Among those common services. Of
fered without charge by the Health
Service of the Red Cross is Bureau
of Public Health Informa ton through
which any interested person can Sc
cure up to date informa ton in regard
to all phases of Public Health activ-
itr.
To strengthen and support exist
ing Public Health Agencies is not
only the aim, but also the achieve
ment of the New York County Chap
ter of the American Red Cross since
it entered the field of Public Health
eighteen months ago.
One of our cooperative enterprises
is a Health Speakers Bureau. de-
signed to ''act as clearing house
through which all Public Health
agencies can find opportunities for
their lectures TO speak, and through
which local groups of any kind de-
string TO arrange public health lee
lures, can secure qualified lecturers,
or q series of lectures, if desired
The entire health program OF the
New York County Chapter, American
Red Cross is one of coopera ton: no
health activities are undertaken
alone; no Health Service is provided
without securing the cooperation of
some other organizations, much of
this service being undertaken at the
special request of other health agen-
cies. To supplement and not sup
plant the public and private health
activities of the city is the motto of
this new Red Cross Service"

Weeks Determined
To Lessen Naval
Air Accidents

Washington, June 24.-AFoused by
the recurring fatal accidents in the
army air service, Secretary Weeks has
written TO Major General Menoher,
chief of that service, asking that every
precaution be taken to prevent further
accidents.
Four accidents with a loss pf is
lives have occurred in the army sery-
ice in the last few weeks and Mr.
Weeks said he had requested that
there be careful inspection of airplanes
and their accessories prior 10 each
flight and at all other times.
An analysis of casualties in the ar
my air service for the last year, it is
said shows that the fatalities among
the army fiiePs total per cent. of that
class of personnel.
Army officers said today that the
aviation service was still in the ex-
perimental stage and that while every
precaution possible was taken against
accidents it was humanity Impossible to
prevent all OF them. The four recent
accidents are not regarded by experts
here as preventahle or unexpected.

Corbett was approximately to l
shot over Bob Fitzsimmons when
they met at Carson City.
The total amount Of money wag-
cred on the coming battle to date is
estimated by New York sporting
man not to exceed $4,000. large
part of this amount has been placed
in so-called freak" bets. Odds OF y
to ) have been quoted that Dempsey
will win by a Knockout. Persons who
hack Carpenter to drop Dempsey for
the count demand odds of 20 to /.
Odds of 10 to | have been asked by
persons who would wager that Car
pentier will not answer the bell for
the third round.
Paris, almost historical in it's en-
thusiasm for the French war hero,
nevertheless is dubious when money
is mentioned Word received here
states that Dempsey rules as to D
favorite on the boulevards, with little
money placed.
Betting men believe that the lack of
wagering is due largely to the fact
that Carpenters supporters desire
unreasonable odds. Also. they de-
clare that the international aspect of
the contest, while making for the I'M
usual interest which will draw the
greatest gate" in the rings history
is largely sentimental and not con-
ducive to heavy wagering for that
reason.
The bout does not compare with
the Jeffries- Johnson and the Willard
Dempsey battles at corresponding
period" one Broadway man declared,
There was at least 100000 wa
gercd on the result of the Toledo bat
tie and it is safe to say that as much
or more changed hands at Reno when
'Jeffries lost to Johnson"

RING HISTORY OF
BRER DEMPSEY
AND CARPENTER

The string of II knockoutS con-
WINGED boxing promoters and the
public at large that Dempsey, in spite
| of unpopularity because of his failure
TO get into active military service in
the war, was the logical man to meet
| Jess Willard for the heavyweight
! championship OF the world. Tex
Richard, clinched the bout.
The principals met in New York,
Feb. Q, 1919 to agree to conditions for
the bout The statutes of New York
at that time made Illegal articles for
boxing bout in that state. Accord
ingiy, when conditions had been set
tied. the principals, their managers
and TEX" Richard ferried to Jersey
City and signed the papers in rail-
way waiting room
After virtually every city of ac-
count in the United States, where
boxing was legal, had been mentioned
as the possible site. Richard an
nounced that Toledo. o., had been Sc
1ected for the bout. July 4. City and
state officials declared themselves ia
vorable TO the plans and the boxers,
about six weeks before the scheduled
date. started training in camps near
the big arena.
In spite of Dempsey's great record
tor hitting, many persons including
Willard himself, were confident that
the huge bulk of the kansan, who
had always maintained fairly good
physical condition, would make him
impregnable before his smaller op-
ponent
Dempsey. apparently unmindful OF
the disparity in height and weight,
declared that he was going to tackle
Willard as he had tackled his vic
inns of the past two years-with Il
rush. The fact that he had put out
both Carl Morris and Fred Fulton,
men much larger than himself, in the
first round. made him confident that
he could defeat Jess Willard in the
same manner

the greatest middleweights that
America has had, Billy Papke, the
