COMPARATIVELY SMALL
Is GEORGES CARPENTER
Associated Pressp

New York, June 27-Georges Car
pentier. challenger of Jack Dempsey,
will be smaller, in several respects,
than any boxer who has fought for
the title in recent years. Tommy
Burns, frcm whom Jack Johnson
wrestcd the crown, was shorter but
heavier and more compactly built.
Bob Fitzsinmons. on the day he lost
the championship to Jim Jeffries at
Coney Island weighed 172 pounds, al
most exactly what Carpenter will
weigh when he climbs into the ring.
Dempsey will be larger than Car
pentier in all save two important
measurements. Carpenters advan-
tages will 'be in his wonderfully de-
veloped lower limbs and his neck The
Frenchman's calf measurement is
16% inches as compared with Demp-
sey's 15A. Carpenters neck meas
ure is 16A inches with Dempsey's
one-quarter inch smaller.
~~Dempsey will outweigh Carpenter
by about 20 pounds. He will stand
one and one-half inches taller. He
will outreach his rival by one inch, IA
inches to 73. OIn wrist and ankle
development they are nearly equal,
only fraction of an inch giving
Dempsey the advantage in each case.
Dempsey's biceps measure 16A in
ches as compared with Carpenters
141a. Carpenters back muscles,
however, are a magnificent part of
his development, and from these he
will draw most of his hitting power.
In several respects, Jess Willard,
the Kansas giant, whom Dempsey
knocked out in three rounds, was the
largest champion. In\ several other
respects, the most compact Jim jeff
ries outstripped Willard easily. Will
lard, for his size, was not developed
as highly. in a physical way, as>sev-
eral others who have held the title.
Willard, at fighting weight, scaled
240 pounds and lowered feet, 6 in
ches in the air. His reach of S31s
inches was far greater than that of
other title holders. His chest meas
urement of 80 inches. normal, was
seven inches less than that of "Jeff. !"
Jeffries' wrist, neck, biceps and ankle
development was greater than that of
Willard and Wizards calf measure
ments were only fraction of an inch
larger than Jeffries'.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN 1920
Distinct Shortage Of Labor and Higher
Cost OF Materials Among Diff-
culties Encountered.

Every kind of road cost about twice
as much TO build In 1920 as II did I'm
1917. according to the chief Of the
bureau of public roads, United States
Department Of Agriculture. and high
way construction suffered more than
any other class OF work through rail-
road congestion. strikes, labor trou-
bles, and material shortages.
After the war there was a great
public demand for improved roads.
Many roads had been seriously dam
aged by war traffic. and II appeared
that the return Of men from military
service wOuld prO7 i,'e an abundance Of
labor. The army OF Iaberers which we
expected - apply for the work did
not, however, materieliZe. On the
contrary, there was a distinct shortage
Of labor, and wages reached the high
est levels attained In the history Of
the country. I'm 1917, competent labor
could be secured for from SI.50 to So
per day, but the corresponding wages
In 1920 were from - TO IS for q short
er days work.
In proportion TO this demand there
was also a pronounced scarcity Of con-
struction materials Sand, gravel,
stone and cement. and materials com
monty used In road work increased In
price between 1917 and 1920 from 80
TO 100 per cent. Naturally, these in
creases In cost were reflected in the
prices paid to contractors for road
work. Gravel roads increased from
$4,5S5 to $3.50 per mile; concrete
from $21, ,165 to upward Of $4,000 per
mile, and brick roads from S33, 900 TO
S55,OO0 per mile.
As funds available for road con-
struction are largely limited by statute,
or by the returns from taxation, q
majority Of the states this year have
deliberately withheld work, the plans
for which had been completed, until
they could obtain a greater return for
their expenditure

of Mrs. Eva Catherine Kaber, charged

oppose the seating of women because
they are 'too cold blooded and merci-

seating of as many women as posi-
bic, declaring that women would be
more able to judge than men.

DR.. GILBERT asks US to consider the
daisy how it has grown-the gentle,
oxeye daisy, the sunny little days eye
of the poets. Imported about a hun
dred years ago. 1t has spread through
the United States until 1t has swarmed
in smothering multitudes over many
fields and pastures, making them all
but hopeless, agriculturally speaking.

farmers prohibitive. The annual
daisy damage to hay alone would run
into formidable figures.
As it is with the daisies so would
it be with the poppies If the present
rate of planting and propagating
were kept up even for short time

Wanted-A Mayoralty Winner.

Local political genius of micro
scopic calibre may profitably take to
heart the simple fact that beyond
putting up candidates there are va
rious events connected with and con-
sequent upon the selection Of a
Mayor for the city of New York.
A nomination in the making is a
matter of days. A campaign is a
whirl Of weeks. But the result Of
the election is a stretch of four
years. The four years during which
the next Mayor Of New York will
hold his term will put a stamp upon
this city, for good or for bad, that
may be indelible for century.
The six million people Of this first
city in the country have too much
at stake and for too long a time-in
their taxes, their rents, their schools,
their rapid transit, their comfort,
safety and honor-for any man to
gamble with the Mayoralty Of New
York as game Of politics.
Fusion to defeat the Murphy
Bylan municipal wreckers is indis
Densable. It must be as well honest,
earnest, fighting fusion on a man
who is big enough and strong enough
first to get the votes for Mayor and
then to fill the job.
