LAWRENCE, Kan, July g.
Jess Willard is willing to meet
Jack Dempsey again, he said today
on his farm near here.

heavyweight championship which
he lost two years ago at Toledo.
"I've led the simple life; I'm in
splendid shape today" he said.
II would need four months for
training and conditioning, then l

Il know of no man anywhere at.
present who can beat Dempsey.
There isn't any question in my
mind that he is the greatest heavy :
weight who fought before the pub
Tic. But he was much too heavy for
Georges. II there is any suitable
challenger in Carpenters own class
who wants to night him let him send
us word"
MENTIONS POSSIBILITIES.
Descamps mentioned Tom Gibbons
and Bill Brennan as possibilities who
would be welcomed Descamps in
dicated that Carpenter was making
no definite plans about returning TO
France for this and other reasons.
The other reasons were given ss
business" but 1t, was understood
that the Gallo fighter. who has lost
none of his popularity with the
American public, had received lucra-
tive motion picture and vaudeville
offers.
This popularity WIS attssted yos-
terday by hundreds of messages of
cheer and visits from friends and
strangers who sought to express
their admiration of his qualities as
fighter. Carpenter denied himself
to all but a few intimate friends.
Among the telegrams received were
more than a score from American
Legion posts throughout the country.
Regret over the inability of 4 war
comrade to win out was the general
tenor of these messages Ambas-
sador Jusserand also communicated
with him
A guard of three men was kept
posted outside of Carpenters house
during the day to enable him to
enjoy the seclusion he desired after
the strenuous time he had Satur-
day at Jerrey City. To all OF the
visitors who numbered hundreds,
representatives of the French fght-
er expressed his appreciation of
their thoughtfulness in calling on
him and his Jegret over being un-
able to see them at the moment.
PLEASED by ACCOUNTS OF FIGHT.
Carpenter spent a very quiet day.
chiefly reading the account of the fight
in the various newspapers. He fire.
qsently expressed his delight over the
way the papers had regarded him and
asked Descamps to express his appre-
, citation.
The American press has bee.i most
kind to my Georges" Descamps said
through Captain Mallet. who acted as
interpreter. I'VE all are gratified
with the nice things which have been
written I might say at this time that
the public before the night probably
thought that Georges would be taking
no chances and would do q lot of run
ming around the ring. I believe the
public appreciated his standing UP to
Dempsey and giving blow for blow.
In fact. Carpenter gave the nrst blow
of the fight"
According to Captain Mailet. Car
pentier suffered much yesterday from
n broken bone in the thumb Of his
right hand. This was the only conse-
auential reminder of the hght said
Captain Mallet- as the cut under the
left eve did not amount to much. He
said the French boxer would rest for
a few days, although a visit to Tex
Rickard was scheduled for Wednes-
day. Carpenter spent part OF the
morning on the front porch of his
home, which overlooks the main high
way, watching the long string OF auto
mobiles pass and the people who
dropped by to catch a glimpse of him.
He was hungry before dinner time and

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
girls sixteen years old and are going
with boys who are sixteen and seven
teen. We were out riding one evening
and they wanted to ride with their
arms around us, but we refused to let
them do so.
Do you think that we did the right
thing? They told US that if we cared
for them that we would let them put
their arms around us. They have not
been back to see US since. Ought We
10 write to them, saying that we are
sorry that We did that way? We care
a lot for these boys and do not want
to lose their friendship.
WORRIED AND ANXIOUS.
You were quite right in refusing tC
let the boys put their arms around
you. If you had given them that priv
ilege they would have wanted to &C
further in their love making. Since
they have dropped you now, it is evi
dent that all they wanted was girls tC
make love to. OF course you should
not write to them. A letter might cal
them back, but it would only be an in
vitation for love-making and as soon a;
they had enough of that they would
drop you again.

They'll be tickled," Dick said.
We've always wanted a talking ma
chine and never got one. Come on
along.
And the party went off, carrying the
machine and the records. Mrs. Tai
bot held Amy back.
But you're aot going to dance" she
said; not when your father says not
to-"
"I'll go and watch and learn the
steps that way. l said I'd obey till
was Is. I'm my own master then. And
then I'm going TO go to the city. I've
had enough of this sort of life. I'll
live with Jane and study. And Claire
says I can live with them if | want.
A sense of doom came over the poor
faded woman in the shadows of the
porch. Her youngest, her baby, was
going away too!
Amy had at last rebelled openly
What was ahead of her?

tunate than for that understanding 10
create feeling against either Japan or
Great Britain. There are liberal and
anti-militarist forces in Japan just as
there are in Great Britain. Likewise
there are militaristic and imperiaiistic
forces in the United States. The sit
uation should be regarded as a strug-
gle of liberal forces in all countries
against war-making forces IN all
countries.
The Japanese who is liberal and
wants peace and disarmament is an
ally of the American in the same
frame of mind And with regard to
Japan, it must be remembered that
Japans whole rise in the world has
been by war, and that she owes her
very existence as nation to her army
and navy. She is the only nation in
Asia that has not been overwhelmed
and exploited by the Europeans. She
has preserved her integrity by toting
a gun and she knows it. 1t cannot be
a matter for surprise, then, that she is
not quick to lay down that gun.
AngIo-Jap Alliance.
None-the-less world peace depends
largely upon the remuneration by ia
pan of her imperialistic ambitions in
Asia generally and in China in partic-
ular These ambitions are made pos
sible largely by her alliance with
Great Britain If this alliance comes
10 an end the militaristic party in
Japan will be weakened, and without
losing anything that is rightfully hers
JaDan will probably be forced to adoDt
a foreign policy less menacing to her
, neighbors and TO the peace Of the
world.
1t is clear then that a leading object
of the conference for the United States
is 10 prevent a renewal of the Anglo
! Japanese alliance. 1t is here, in the
! opinion Of experts, that our diplomacy
viii be tested. The alliance will prob

REDUCING THE ABDOMEN

The stout woman always has the
problem of reducing a large stomach
and abdomen, but then she can always
feel that a general reduction course
will reduce the abdomen as we'll as
other parts of the body. The woman
who has the real difficulty Is the wo-
man who is thin but who has a large
abdomen as the result of standing
badly or shild-b2aring. In the case OF
the fat woman ii is apt to be merely
surplus flesh. in the case of the thin
woman it is due TO lax and weakened
muscles. In either case this standard
exercise will help immensely
Stand erect with the hands on the
hips, with some loose dress on and
without corsets. Bend the body for
ward as much as possible, keeping the
spine straight Without Strengthening
up bend sideways, backwards and to
the other side. That is you are pivoting
the entire upper part of the body. The
hips should be moved as little as pos
sible. Keep up this revolving motion
until you have done it twenty times.
You can feel the pull upon the mus
| cles. If you are much in need of this
exercise the abdomen may feel sore
for some hours afterwGrd, but next
day in spite of the soreness repeat the
exercise, and repeat it again every day
until those muscles are strengthened
and some OK the surplus flesh rolled
away
Other exercises may be taken in CON
/ nection with this. vigorous mas

recommended by reduction specialists.

Profitable Relation.
The Anglo-Japanese alliance has
been an extremely profitable relation
Tor both of the principals. They will
not give it up without struggle. But
the oest-informed opinion in this coun-
try is that American interests demand
a complete enforcement of British and
Japanese interests, and definite
alignment of Great Britain behind
the American Pacific policy.
1t should not be forgotten that in
ternauonal agreements often have
clauses which are not published, and
sometimes work out in WAYS that
could scarcely be deduced from their
wording. 1t seems probable that

China and of insuring China's nation
al integrity and autonomy.
This policy is embodied in the Hay
doctrine. 1t has been assented to by
practically all of the other nations in
words. but it has been violated by all
of them in deeds. and especially by
Japan with the support OF Great Brit
ain. The United States must either
check this violation of her traditional
policy with regard to China or else
she must withdraw entirely from the
Pacific, leaving China to her fate.
Hard to Prove
There are some pacifists who appear
to favor the latter course. They say
that if the United States disarme ed
and withdrew from the international
struggle. other nations would eventu
ally follow suit. But this is rather
hard TO prove. it seems more prob
, able that if the United States with
drew her influence from the Orient she
would merely leave it an open field
for the imperiaistic ambitions of othel
nations, and that she would eventually
have to encounter this imperialism

Chapter 10

ShoRANA ~
Jordan Talbot had a curiously Sc
we're face. AS a young man he had
been handsome enough, with more in
telligence and fire in his countenance
than any other of the boys" in that
section of the country. And Amy Tai
bot had admired him enormously.
But the fire had frozen, so to speak.
The eyes that flashed with fun now
flashed with contempt. The clever re-
marks that once made everyone laugh,
began TO carry bit of sting. Then
the wit soured to sarcasm; now it was
biting denunciation of everything that
did not quite meet with his approval
In all the 56 years of his life, Jordan
Talbot had not been more than 20
miles from his home His life was ris-
ing. working and going to bed: his re-
Taxation sitting on the porch smoking
a pipe and staring moodily into space.
His vision was bound by the limits of
his village.
He used to be the brightest boy
in the place" Mrs. Talbot said more
than once to her growing children.
II was true that at school he had
always easily obtained the highest
marks. 1t was true he owned and
read more books than anyone else in
the community. This gave him a
reputation fo9 scholarship.
But as matter of fact, Jordan Tai
bot stopped thinking somewhere be
tween the age OF 10 and u.
This is far too often the case, even
in the packed metropolis where new
ideas are fairly forced upon people by
their contact with each other. But
Jordan Talbot became mentally slug
gish all of a sudden.
Perhaps his physical work was toe
much for him. Perhaps It was easier
not to think. In any case, he accepted
certain ideas and formulas taught tc
him in his youth and never went be
yond.
One of the ideas was that dancing
