BIG DEMPSEY ODDS
BEGIN TO SHRINK
Predicted That 2 to I Will Be
Prevailing Price on Day
of Bout
BETTING ON A KNOCKOUT

New York, June 30-With the ap-
proach OF the date Of the big bout, bet
ting on the outcome is beginning to
pick up. This Is due chiefly to the fact
that more Carpenter money Is In evi-
dence and that the hackers Of the chal-
lenger are showing an inclination to ac-
cept quotations Of 3ha. 3 and even 2 to
l for their coin.
In Wall Street II was reported today
that more actual wagers and fewer
mind bets had been made than for some
time previously. Although Dempsey
money was still greatly in excess Of
that offered in support Of his opponent,
the supporters Of the American were
still inclined to hold of.
Now that Carpenter cash Is becoming
more plentiful, the hackers Of Dempsey
evidently believe that the odds will be-
come still shorter today and tomorrow.
II is predicted by some that the pre-
vailing quotation on Saturday morning
will be 2 to 1.
For this reason the supporters Of the
champion were inclined to try to place
their money on the number Of rounds
It would take Dempsey to score a
knockout. 1t was reported that, while
some bets were made on one or the
other Of the men winning. 1t was stipu.
lated that II the bout went the full
twelve rounds and both boxers we're still
on their feet at the finish. the bets
should be declared off. Under these
conditions the wagers were made on the
bout terminating In knockout. hy n
foul being committed or disqualified
ton for some cause or other.
Even though betting In the financial
district Is becoming more brisk the
amount thus far at stake is still far
below earlier estimates and greatly
under the sums that are usually wagered
on sporting events Of such magnitude.
According to one Of the leading authori-
ties on the subject, a man who is in a
position to know whereof he speaks,
the sum total Of the money now In the
hands Of Wall Street shareholders does
not exceed $3.50, 900. In the past 1t has
been no uncommon thing for stake d.
holders In the financial district to hold
as much as half a million or a million
and even more in wagers on a great
sporting event.

Live and Dead Lumber.

A report issued by the forest prod
ucts laboratory states that if sound
dead trees are sawn into lumber and
the weathered or charred outside cut
away, such lumber cannot be distin-
guished by any known test from that
cut from live trees. Most of the wood
in a live tree is actually dead, and
the specification for lumber should
therefore be framed to provide for a
maximum amount of decay or insect
infestation, and the provision of a
clause specifying live timber is unnec-
eSSary.

Roland's Idea of a
Perfect Woman
By DOROTHY DOUGLAS
70 by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate)

(9 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate)
Elsie was more or less accustomed
to her brother Roland's impulsive ac-
lions, but his latest idea rather took
her breath away.
ISIS he had said In his CHEEKY
voice that morning at breakfast, II
have ordered the most exquisite set of
gowns, evening, day and anything else
looked at. Also hats, shoes, slippers,
stockings. In fact, l have bought al
most anything that lovely woman
could possibly want. Now" as he saw
his sister arriving at state bordering
on apoplexy from curiosity, he contin-
ued, 1.-The idea is for you to find girl
who will fit them. She must be rea-
sonably good looking, but that is not
of great Importance"
Roland, have you quite lost your
mind? Where do 1 find girl, and
what girl is going to wear lot Of
clothes purchased by young bachelor,
and if she did, what are you going to
do with herr"
Roland burst out laughing.
"My idea is not so absurd as 1t
sounds" he informed her. "The fact
is, am bit fed up with all the arti-
fetal, stupidity gowned women we
know. l have bought what I consider
some extremely artistic and distin-
guished clothes, and l want some one
to wear them, and that some one must
chum about with me at dinners, the
aters dances and all kinds of nice en-
tertainments. Now don't get the idea
that am looking for wife. I SIM
ply want natural looking girl whose
face is not entirely made up at the
beauty parlors. l am sick to death

Audrey was slim and dark. Her
brow was broad and milk white and
her black hair rolled back from it into
a classic knot. Her eyes were dark
and heavily dashed and her lips were
scarlet. Otherwise Audrey was color
less in repose. The animated Audrey
was suggestive of an animated Greek
statue come suddenly to life.
Roland was guilty of swift intake
of breath when, upon entering the IL
brary that evening, Elsie introduced
her selection to him. The fictitious
name of Miss Granger had been as
Sumed.
He quickly regained composure and
sent a glance of complete approval to
Elsie.
"This is very kind of you, Miss
Granger" he said, and hope you will
find lot of fun in this adventure. l
expect to; so where will we go to-
night?"
"Why not the opera?" suggested FL
sic. "Tm sure Miss Granger loves
music"
They whirled off to the opera.
Audrey was very silent, considering
it the most likely way of ensnaring
Roland's real interest. In many subtle
ways, however, she kept him we'll
aware of her presence. She was re-
warded early in that first evening by
realizing that her escorts attention
did not waver from her.
There was no denying the fact that
the girl Roland suddenly sprung on
the public was a social find. Her
clothes were always exquisite, her man
ner dignified and yet Roland had dis
covered that the heart within those
beautiful garments was of equal fine
ness-a combination he had not hith-
erto found.
A scant few weeks Of gayety had
passed before Roland entered his sis

II have failed to keep from loving this
girl. What do you think about it, sis?
Where did she come from and what

of it," he flung back as he dashed
off to find the girl who had so sue
cessfully worn clothes.
And Elsie smiled. She already knew
where Audreys heart was, and it was
just exactly where every one wanted
it to be.

Remarkable Discovery.

A remarkable discovery with regard
to the blood, says the Scientific Amer
lean, has just been made by a ply
stefan in London. In making serums
the doctor got the needed plasma from
the blood of horses. After he had
drawn off the pIasma, he injected the
red corpuscles into the horses again.
The result was that the horses imme-
diately formed new blood fluid of nor
nal composition. IT will take some
time to determine the full possibili-
ties of so startling a discovery, but it
is likely to have an important bearing
on the practice as we'll as the theory
of medicine.
