A At RS. d. DUPONT THOMPSON,

Ian Mf NO II. DUPONT THOMPSON,
NWIl who is well known all over
the state as a power for good
in all movements for civic better-
ment, is the efficient chairman of the
American citizenship committee OF
the Alabama State Federation of
Women's Clubs. She is deeply inter-
ested in the progress of the work of
her committee, especially among the
children of the public schools, and
in an address recently made before
an assemhlage of Alabama club wom-
en- she said of her work and her plans
for its success:
The first requisite to success in
any undertaking is belief in 1t, and
II the success attained by your COM
mittee on American citizenship could
be at all commensurate with it's be-
lief in 1t as being the most impor-
tant work of organized society, then
our success would be boundless.
'Americanism and not American
ization is an outward form, while
Americanism is spiritual force.
Americanization can be acquired;
Americanism must be developed.
There are two classe of people
who need to be Americanized, the ma
tive-born and the foreign-bor and
the chairman of your committee is
frank to say that she believes that
we should begin, and that right
speedily, with our native-born.
We cannot reform any large body
of adults, SO we must begin with the
children.
When the woman's Christian Tenn
perance union wanted temperance it
did not try to reform the drunkards,
it put temperance lessons in the pub
lie schools and brought up genera
ton instructed in temperance, which
changed the viewpoint of the older
generation.
When we began to realize that It
WAS better to prevent disease than
to cure 1t we put health lessons in

Majority of Those Quoted Believe Dempsey Will Win
 Over Frenchman Easily
By SPARROW M'GANN Special Correspondent of The Age Herald Copyright, 1921, by The Age-HeraIdl

New York, June 1S.--(Special Who will win the big fight, Car pentier or Dempsey? With the bat tie less than two% weeks off, the game of picking a winner has be- come national indoor sport. Every one has an opinion and is willing to express it. For the last week the writer has been collecting dope on the big scrap from men whose opin- ion ought to be worth something.
 The roundup follows: Read it and make your bets
 Tex Ricl,ard (the promoter): T never was good at picking winners. The fight ought to be a good one and that is all that interests me-"
 Harry Greb heavyweight fighter): Dempsey is a 10 to l shot. He will tear the Frenchman to pieces"
 Frank Klaus Che fought Carpen- tier): T pick Dempsey all the way.
 George Engle (fight manager) I am wrong and it goes past seven rounds, Dempsey is licked"
 Sam McVey (negro heavyweight Carpenter wins if he fights his own fight and not the way Dempse / would like him to fight"
 Knockout Bill Brennan Che fought Dempsey twice.: Carpenter Is fast enough to keep away from Dempsey for about three rounds, but he will get his in the fourth. The French man is a good boxer and can punch, but he is not rugged enough to stand up against the champions wallops
 Johnny Coulon tretired bantan,- weighD. Carpenter has more science than any living fighter. If he gets his punch over on Dempsey the champion will go down and stay down."
 w. A. Brady (theatrical producer who managed Corbett and Jeffries) "I expect Carpenter to win in three or four rounds. Dempsey is not so good as when he boxed Willard and the Frenchman Is wonderful"

STUPENDOUS SUMS ARE INVOLVED IN THE COMING FIGHT
U. s. Government to Get More From Boxers Than They
 Will Have Left
BY JAMES J. CORBETT ,Copyright, 1921, by King Features
 Syndicate, Inc.)

Has the limit been reached in the natter of purse offerings with the Dempsey -Carpentier battle?
 The echoing reply is ''yes''-which is exactly the same answer that was made in 1892 when 1 fought John l.. sullivan; in 1910 when Jim Jefferies fought JaclA Johnson; in 1919 when Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey split s127, 300.
 But who will say with absolute truth that the purse which the cham pion and the Frenchman are to split will be the high-water mark for all time?
 This seems to be the age of rec ord smashing-and the end seems to fe still obscured in the future.
 The Terms
 Just how much Dempsey and Car nentier will get is d mystery. It is said that the champion has been guaranteed l$300,000 and Carpenter S2c0,o00. They have percentage privilege. Dempsey taking 36 and Car pentier "A.
 Without doubt they'll exercise
  cated receipts now are beyond $l,000,- O50. The fight may be a complete sell-out. In such a ease the gross VIII be $1,500,000 if the earliest fig ures on capacity are correct
 Suppose the gate" goes $1.2G0.000. That would give Dempsey $45o, 900 and Carpenter 0,O00-and wouldn't exceed 36 minutes at the outside.
 Uncle sam Gets Drag
 But the fighters and their man agers aren't going to bank and keep for their very own the total money they get out of the affair. Uncle Sammy is to be reckoned with and his share. odd as it may seem. will be greater than either fighter sets.
 A tax of 50 per cent will be levied on Dempsey's s450,00o by the govern ment. That would give Uncle s21O,000 and leave Dempsey only SlS0.000 to split with Kearns. Car pontier will be subjected to two tax cuts which will shrink his earnings appreciahly.
 The government of the United States will assess Georges 54 per cent. That will leave him apout Sl35,000 assuming he gets S30o,0O0 for his end. When Georges gets back to France the French authori- ties will step forward and take al out half of the $l35,000 away, leaving about s67,001 net.
 And then Deschamps will come in for half of that--or sS4,00O.
 So in the end, Carpenter will bank only about $S4000 cut of the origi- nal sSO0.Ooo.

BERNSEN LEADING ALLEN WILL MEET HOME RUN HITTER BATTLING BUDD AT IN THE SOUTHERN |B. A. (. MONDAY

What looks to be the most evenly balanced fight card yet billed at the Athletic club will be staged Mon day night, June 27. The feature event will be 10 rounds of milling between Battling Budd of Atlanta and Dixie" Jack Allen of the Ath- letic club, Both boys are evenly matched in weight and ability and should furnish real fight.
 Budd has exhibited his wares here on two previous occasions and has been received cordially by the faps. Jack Allen has proven beyond a doubt to the fight fans that he can take punishment, but he should do other tKan take it this time, as he is improving on his foot work and his hitting power is good. Alien, who is working out daily with Bar rington, is improving wonderfully, and the same can be said of Bar rington, who is showing more speed every day.
 One of the best, if not the best, semi finals will be on the same card, when Frank Chestain, who has been knocking them all kicking here of late, will tackle Jack Brady of Bessemer, who will attempt to get going again after several mis- haps.
 Brady has been down the Runtry for the past two weeks getting him self into tip-top shape. If he is beaten this time there will be no alibi whatever There are many ar dent admirers of Brady who believe he has been having hard luck, ana that he will prove it when he meets Chestain. But Chestain cannot be nearly as crafty as. Brady, he can assimilate an awful lot of punish ment as well as give 1t, and Brady will have to be there to get away with the verdict.
 In the four-round preliminary. Claude Wilson will give George Harwell a chance to redeem him self for his defeat in the southern tournament. These boys are ban tamw ghts,. very fast and can hit.
 In the opening number Young Milton of the B. A. c. will tackle Paul Jones, the boy wonder of the Boys club. whom Dave Evans is inn proving on every day.
 As an added attraction Tommy Tompkins has secured the services of a contortionist, who Is out of the ordinary, who will entertain for It minutes.
 Biscoe Seals will referee the main go.
