TEXAS ROMANCE IS
SIMILAR TO MOVIE
nv United Press


Houston, Tex, Jan. 6.-A prOdigal
son has come home to Houston-but
he's only on a visit--and he's not
prodigaling. \
Early this century, Clarence Burg
helm, graduating from high schoo!
here, decided he didn't want to spend
wearisome hours learning to be a
doctor. But his father wanted him
to become q doctor He disappeared.
In 1902 Burgheim was seen In Cor
into, chief Nicarag,Ian port. A friend
Of the. family who saw him, unkempt,
ragged predicted the son would ar
rive home soon q prodigal.
In 1910 Burgheim was next heard
from as y physician to the revolu-
tionary forces of the republic. Then
he was made surgeon general OF the
rebel forces. In the. eight years his
family was expecting the prodigal,
Burnheim had attended Nicaraguan
medical schools. During fighting.
the revolutionary forces surrounded
a stone church and were making a
fight for possession. Suddenly a girl
appeared, running across "No Mans
Land" A bullet struck her. Burg
helm saw her. And like a movie hero,
he rescued her thru shower OF bul-
lets. His surgery saved the woman's
life. Romance blossomed. The revo-
luton was successful. The girls IA
ther, Diego Manuel Chamorro, has
been elected president Of Nicaragua,
They were married year after he
saved her. He was sent to New Or
leans as consul general.
While an New Orleans he came
home-as the prodigal son. But the
home folks had to kill two calves
he brought his family.

CHAMPIONS MAY GO OUT
OF THEIR CLASSES SOON
BY HenrylL Farrell.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
&. New York, Jan. 5.-Benny Leonard
and Joe Lynch both probably will
make an excursion out OF their class
this year. F..
Benny would like to annex the wei
terweight title of Jack Britton .anc
the young bantamweight champion Is
looking to the featherweight field fo1
future worl,:. w.
Leonard this winter proved conclu-
sively that he has not outgrown the
lightweight class. Il He made 49,
pounds for Joe yelling, but he wasn't
overly strong at that low poundage.
For business reasons, an invasion
of the weller ranks would be profit,
able for Leonard, as he is running out
of good opponents among the light
Joe Lynch is legitimate bantam
weight. He made 116 pounds for
Pete Herman when he won the cham
pionship. Joe, however, can't keep
himself down to that weight very long
without doing great. harm to himself
physically. He's unusually tall for a
bantam and has to draw himself down
so fine that he looks like pale ghost
in the ring. His ribs poked out
through his flesh in the Herman bout
like a washboard.
His condition. in that bout must
not be considered too final, however,
as he had been in hard training for
two months and had been through
four exceedingly hard bouts in a little
over month. -,
After a months rest in the noun
tains, where he is going to rough it,
he will get back into better condl'
ton. i,
For a season or so he can fight at
catchweights after the fashion OF
most champions and that will not
necessitate weakening matchmaking.
Many boxing critics believe that
Lynch at 1872 pounds would be good
enough to take the title from Johnny
Kilbane, the featherweight king:
From all appearances, the Cleve-
land Irishman has retired. Before ne
steps down finally, however, it is be-
lieved that he would be glad to give
Lynch a chance for the title and II
he has to lose it there is no other
fighter he would rather see as his sue
cessor than the present bantam
champ.

tured in the United States last year. Upon it no small part or the steel indus try now depends.
 Colonel Warren, when speaking of the full meaning of this comparatively new industry, referred first to transportation. involving as it does the use of the motor truck both for short haul and for long haul; next the family automobile, which saves time, and also is q carrier of sup plies, and next the farm tractor, whose economic value to agriculture is now fully recognized.
 THE FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY
 The industry however, is only at the beginning of it's era. Transportation in out-of-the-way places has been made possible by it. The American automo- bile is soon to be as widely placed in foreign countries as was the American sewing machine. Colonel Warren is sure that this will aid in our economic reha- bilitation. Hereafter automobile produc- tion must be aided by a complete sta bilization of the industry as well as by economy in manufacturing and the de- velopment of very high business ability as well as the maintaining of business integrity In fact from the automobile industry as it now is and is sure to be Colonel Warren's opinion for great as- sstant in the early restoration of nor- mai industrial and trade conditions.

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

New York, April 17.-An eventful week in the stock market was featured by such developments as President Hard ings address to Congress, further price readjustments in the steel trade. signs of a collapse of the British labor strike and the decision to abrogate national railway agreements.
 Of these various incidents the latter was regarded as the most important. The extent to which the railroads and their employees are to benefit by the new or der, however, is already the subject of keen discussion and divergent opinion.
 Price cuts announced by the United States Steel corporation, followed by similar action from independent sources, brought no immediate demand for steel products, but was generally accepted as a necessary or stabilizing influence. The next move, according to popular be- lief, will deal with the question of re- vised wage schedules
 In other lines of industry there were sporadic signs of further revival or ac- tivity. Surveys of general business con ditons from foremost centers of distri- button were more encouraging, though frequently balanced. by an. undertone of conservatism
 Funds for legitimate industrial and commercial enterprises retained all their recent rigidity, even call loans holding firm at per cent The one hopeful note issued from New England, the Bos- ton branch of the federal reserve bank reducing rediscounts from to per cent.
 Because of the impregnable position of federal reserve institution there is an increasing disposition in commercial CIT cles to criticize the attitude of the fiscal authorities at Washington regarding their attitude towards money rates. Exchange on Europe was remarkably steady in the face of Britain's industrial crisis, and the strain attendant upon | further delay in German indemnity | tangle. In South America and Cuba, however, economic unsettlement became 1 increasingly acute. bills on Argentina and Chile falling to lowest records.

Chinese Supremacy

In July. 1881, George Brandes wrote his since famous "Foreboding" of the Great wah. Now in 1921, in the Forum he writes:
 The danger that threatens Europe is not military It is industrial And as far as I can see, it is unavoidable. The danger comes from the east, from Ja- pan, but to a much greater extent from China. In a much too short a time Europe will succumb industrially in com petition with the Far East. victory m industrial competition lies with the side that can work hardest most effectively most economically and wisely. The Chl- nese far surpass any European people in this respect. Europeans have erron- eously looked upon Orientals as a lower race, and they may, perhaps, be able to dominate China. But that will not change the final result. Peoples of a lower race, Kaffirs under British rule and Javanese under Dutch, multiply more rapidly than their masters
 "Furthermore. the white race hao wasted it's strength in thousand-year- old militarism The Chinese have been an industrial people for many thousand years There is no form of handiwork or craft in which the Chinese cannot compete successfully with the white race The history of the Chinese in Australia proves this.
 "Viewed in this light-the inevitable in- dustrial triumph of the yellow races over the white-it would seem as if the giSan- tic war, wrought with so many sacr'- fices and so many horrors, is an event of merely incidental importance, and the so-called League of Nations fairy tale for children"

Weekly Cotton Review
Rx Associated Press

New Orleans April 17.-While the un- favorable labor situation in Great Brit ain must be put down as the main fea- ture of last week in the cotton market. it did no more than hold the market down from making wide advances. Grudging recessions were made on the unfayorable developments while, on the other hand. quick advances were the rlie following favorable news and the close was all toward the top as the result or the breakdown of the general strike movement. Last prices showed net ad- vances of 5 to 59 points.
 At the highest the active months were 49 to S points over the close of the pre- ceding week and at the lowest they were one point lower to five points higher. May traded up to 12c and down to Ii. 4Oc. closing at 11.94c. The extreme range of prices was 46 to 60 points. In the spot department middling closed at 11.3Sc, showing a net gain of 3S points. A year ago middling closed for the week at A.75c a pound and May closed at 4. .40c.
 General trade news and reports from mill centers were mixed in their import but anything unfavorable from domestic sources was offset by cablegrams from Manchester telling of a much better in- quiry for cloths, principally for ship nent to oriental markets, and some trad CTS through the fairly strong close was due to the belief that with better labor situation Manchester would be in po- sition to fill some of this business.
 The better export demand for heavy cloths in the markets of the United States caused much favorable comment.
 New crop news was unfavorable on the whole, temperatures being too low at times and too much rain falling over the greater part of the belt, although the off, ficial review from the government claimed that rain was needed in the southeast section. Reports from Texas were that the soil was too wet for plant ing and this also seemed to be the case in the northern halves of the central and eastern divisions of the cotton re- zion.
 This week the trade will be chiefly concerned at the start at any rate with the British labor outlook and any signs of settling the coal miners strike would probably have a, higher stimulating eff feet on values. On the other hand, any further complications in this direction would be bound to have an unsettling in- fluence On the weekend there were indications of more interest in the spot markets of the interior on the part of buyers and if this develops in an inn portant way this coming week it would probably overshadow any and all other features.
