 STILL TAKING
 "Extracting the promise from Joe that he'd play nice with the French boy, l let him so on, and I refereed the bout my selw. Lynch amazed me through the first three rounds He faked a beating better than any man I ever saw in my life. He'd step in awkwardly, take punch, reel and stagger, and seem to be on the point of going down. So it con tinued for three rounds. At the end of the third Joe was beaten a million miles on points. 1 walked over to him and said:
 CT just hear that your soldier friends have put all their money on you to win. You've been beaten in every one of the first three rounds. Unless you night like no man ever fought before in this fourth you're beaten.
 Watch me. grinned Joe.
 JOE SAILS IN
 "As time was called for the fourth Joe sailed in. Never in my life have seen one man more active over three-min- ute period than Joe Lynch was that night. He was WhlrlNind, a cyclone and tornado put together. He was like a phantom on defense. a den Of wildcats on attack. He drove Key before him like gale blows a bit of eiderdown He landed more punches in those three minutes than I've ever seen any man land in six rounds.
 When the bell rang for ending the bout. there was nothing to do but award the decision to Blackburn, the name by which the crowd knew Lynch. And then followed the craziest dem monstration I've ever seen at prize fight. thousand American soldiers began snake dance, yowling bowling, racing around the arena: the galleries believed forth hur- rahs for Blackburn and the place was in an uproar for 45 minutes.
 "It was the first American victory for weeks in clashes with the French war riors; it was victory in which every soldier boy in the place had shared be- cause each was down to the last dol lar on Lynch to win. And it wash [ until the next day that the outsiders learned that Blackburn, the soldier boy, was none other than Joe Lynch, likewlse soldier boy, but one of the very best bantam weight battlers in the world.

Towering Flying Machine

An FgsntinesgsiHNentoe toe-S claims to have solved the problem of construct ing a heavier -than-air machine which, $ described and illustrated in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, is capa- ble of rising or des ending in a straight line, flying forward at any angle, or lowering over one spot. The secret of the machine is in the propel- lers, of which there are two. They are built up of eight small hiplanes, four to each propeller, which are attached by their ends to the propeller hubs. Although the propellers are indepen- dent and revolve in opposite direc- tions, they are mounted, one above the other, at the top of a common column, inside of which is the driving shaft. The body of the machine looks like a torpedo-type automobile speedster. having four wheels and the conven- tional automobile hood and radiator. The engine occupies the hood, and the driveshaft and column rise directly from it. The apparatus has been call ed flying motor car and is correctly classified as helicopter

CHINESE EDITOR
 OPENLY CHARGES
 GRAFT IN CHARITY
Causes Relief Donations to Be Placed Under Supervision of Association-Peking
 Politicians Accused
By Associated Press

Shanghai, April 17.-When people were dying by thousands and the full horrors of the winter-time famine be- gan to be felt in the great belt of seven provinces in northern China, where no harvests have been gathered this year, Chinese newspapers that are printed in the international settlement of Shanghai, openly published the charge that misuse was being made of famine relief funds by Peking gov ernment officials.
 One of these papers, the Sin Wan Pao, asserted that famine relief tunds were being diverted to the uses of political clique at Picking, and the pa per urged that the strietest foreign and Chinese supervision be imposed upon distribution funds. It was after these charges had been made public that the Shanghai Famine Kehet as sociation and the Shanghai Mission ary association telegraphed messages to Picking in connection with famine relief work.
 In the messages of the Shanghai Famine Relief association, addressed to President Hsy Shin Chang, the gov
  out delay definite policy for carry ing out famine relief work. The tele- gram emphasized that the charitable public, both Chinese and foreign, re- ouire a clear statement from the gov ernment as to what steps it intends to take to meet present conditions In the north, and it was made plain that immediate action was expected.
 Measures the Peking government adopted to obtain famine funds in- cluded surtaxes of certain kinds and increased railroad fares on govsrn- ment lines. The message that was forwarded by the Shanghai Mission ary association was addressed to the British and American ministers, and requested them to urge the Chinese government to issue an early report on famine relief surtaxes and intimate how and when the funds will be em- ployed.
 Before the message " as authorized, a report on conditions in famine areas was given by Bishop J. W. Lamputh of the board of missions of the Metho~ dist Episcopal church. south. He sai l that not only are the people trying to subsist on grass and roots, having de- nuded trees of leaves and bark, but in places they scraped up growing things to such an extent that fields are left torn up behind them. Children, he said, have vanished from many vil- 1ages, as they have been sold or killed, and added that so many have been thrown into wells that many of these sources of water supply have become polluted. Whole populations, he as- serted will perish before May unless immediate aid is forthcoming Re- ports that have come to Shanghai from widely separated districts giye basis to the belief that the present famine is the worst China has eve1 ( experienced.

Fierce Animal overestlmated It's Fight Ing Ability Whom 1t Entered Ring
 With Locomotive.

A big and fierce Colombian jaguar, with the same discretion that characterized the bull that thought it could butt locomotive of the track, tackled similar job in jungle land near Santa Maria with similar results, according to passengers of the United Fruit steamship Tivives, in recently from Colombian, Canal Zone and Ja- maican ports.
 When the TiYiyes arrived at Santa Maria many passengers went ashore for a ride through the wilds, accompanied by two native guides, who agreed to catch monkeys for S1 each for the women.
 While chasing the monkeys the iaguar, female, appeared with her cub, and all the party fled, except one guide, who sought refuge in q tree, with the beast in pursuit. They crossed the railroad tracks as train was approaching, and were pleas antly surprised to note that the jag uar apparently decided to knock out the noisy locomotive before attack ing the fugitiyes. A few snarls and an aggressive paw did not count much in the one-sided duel. There was not enough left of the jaguar to identify her as that sort of a jungle creature.-New York Her. ol9

The speech of former Gov enor Brough delivered at the American Legion Convention at Kansas City last week, pre- senting an Arkansas diamond stick pin to the newly elected commander-in-chief, is the best thing of the kind we have ever seen.
 The Journal is publishing the speech in full and we urge every reader of this paper to clip the speech and paste it in their scrapbook. Every word of it is true and if you will read it, it will make you feel prouder of Arkansas.

 On behalf of the 1000 splendid legionnaries of the state of Arkansas, representa- tive of the 71,862 heroic Ark ansans who placed their bodies as living walls between the cause of human liberty and our imperial commonwealth. during the period of the World War, I have been accorded the honor of presenting to you, Commander-in-Chief the most beautiful and enduring product of Arkansas, a genu- inc two and a third karat Ark ansas diamonds gift eternal from the workshop of the Creator.
