COOK HOSPITAL
Sans AMBULANCE
Loss In Carriage Works
Fire Is Keenly
Felt

Cow hospital has been feeling
very severely the loss OF the hosp
tai ambulance which went up in The
smoke in the disastrous fire on Clev
and avenue last week. From the
standpoint Of the hospital tho acct.
dent was doubly u loss owing 10
various circumstances which led to
the ambulanCe's presence in the ga
rage tue night OF the fire.
The Ford truck upon which the
body Of the ambulance was mounted
had been In use for two years over
all sorts OF roads and all kinds OF
conditions. The Ford is not adver-
ttsed as the easiest riding car on
the market ana no doubt many patti
ents have suffered keenly in trips 10
the hospital over the country roads.
but this machine was the best that
the hospital could afford aud It was
OF course. dependable. Just a short
time ago the hospital board OF direc-
tors was offered a chance to trade
the Ford in on a Cadillac chassis, in
excellent condition. The offer was
considered and accepted and every
body was greatly pleased and de-
lighted at the transaction.
1t was while the transference Of
the ambulance from the Ford to the
Cadillac chassis was on hand that
the fire occurred and everything
was totally lost. The loss in actual
money to the hospital will be be-
tween $110O and $1,000. This Is a
tremendous loss to the institution.
When every dollar must do double
duty in the best Of times'such a sum
is no small amount, and those who
have charge OF the hospital affairs
are very blue over the disaster.
While plans are being made for
the replacement Of the ambulance,

.Carp's Program
Is All Wrong
BY JOHNNY KiLRANE
F~catherweIcht Chamnlon.

Descamps, they say, Is going to
build up" Carpenter so that the
challenger can enter the ring
against Jack Dempsey on July Q,
weighing something more than 1870
pounds and not so far below the
weight Of the champion.
II Descamps really Is serious In
these announcements, he is making
a grave mistake and one that will
react against Georges in the battle.
Never in the history Of Kingdom
has a boxer built himself up" into
good shape for a fight.
In order to go through this build.
ing up process Carpenter will have
to eat and drink, and this will form
fats. True, some OF this fat will
turn TO muscle, but the majority OF
1t will not, and the entire addition.
al fat and muscle will be in his
stomach, where It does far more
harm than good.
A fighter can't build up his
chest, or his arms or his legs in a
few weeks. And these are the only
places where a building.up pro.
cess would aid him materially in a
battle.
You never heard Of a trainer fat
;tening up a horse for a race, did
you? Building up a boxer Is the
same idea. exactly.
Dempsey is overweight. He'll be
able to lose the surplus fat that Is
thrown OF with his final training
easily, and ought to be in ideal
fighting shape at the time for the
bout.
But my dope is thatl Carpentle,
really undertakes this building up
or "~fattening up" work. he'll be
slowed up to a great extent when
he goes into. the ring.

As Others See 1t
JUST ANOTHER LIE
miami Herald)

miami Herald)
Ii t. fair question to ASK. VINO Is the brilliant
Miami correspondent Of the Grand Rapids, Michigan
paper that published few weeks ago, lurid tale of
party of Michigan people who, it is alleged lost
three days automobile trip from TT. Myers to Mi
ami. presumably directly across the Everglades?
The story is interesting and indicates the Imaginative
quality of the gifted correspondent The party tried
glades says the Interesting account They were lost
almost Immediately. On the second day they had moth
ing to drink, nothing except muddy and things
getting to be desperate. "Agaors wallowed out
of the swamp and nosed around the cars The men
fought with Them the huge creatures threatening at
times to overpower the They finally succeeded in
killing three of the aligaors each of which fifteen
feet long They menaced at all times by reptiles
Huge snakes crept out from the dense underground.
The were forced to stand watch Three huge rat
tesnakes the bite of which is deadly, killed"
But the most remarkable thing about the story is
that the party actually reached Miami from TT Myers
travelling by automobile the Everglades We
might be persuaded believe the tales concerning the
big bull agators wrestling with the of the party
might even be made TO believe that reptiles anie
out of the u.Gcrbrush and made trouble. might be
induced believe that one with an easily work
spondent But do confess something of disbe-
lief in the statement that trip could be made from
Myers to Miami through the Everglades
1t really isn't done you know. This is but another
of the stories that find publicity in northern papers

SUGAR AND THE TARIFF

Louisiana sugar growers are again putting up their
perennial plea fer a tariff on sugar. 1t possible in
view of the developments in this state. and its acknow
edged adaptabiy for growing, that Florida sent
ment may be confused by that issue But before taking
up the proectionist cry it would be we'll to study cond
tons little more closely than the so-called authorities
the sugar question have yet DONE
The great competitor of the sugar grower not
the importer but the beet grower There seems be
disposition in certain quarters minimize this competi
ton. But those whose interests are at stake might
we'll understand that beet growing. practicable in many
parts of the country subject to few climatic limitations
is capable of immense expansion Any of half
dozen could supply the whole country with beet
sugar and stands ready to do the moment
of permanent high price be obtained.
A tariff on all sugars, therefore, would simply cinch
the beet growers monopoly. 1t would remove their
strongest competition, the beet sugar imported from
abroad.
A tariff on sugar alone would do good, be-
it would permit foreign beet sugar in free,
and control the market. 1t must be remembered that
the German and not the Cuban exporters who kept
sugar down at ruinous price during the years proceed
ing the war.
Aside from the injustice to consumers of forcing an
artificial price upon article of daily necessity, the fu
tity of sugar protection ought, by this time, to be OBJ
vious to all. The business must stand its merits
There the south where sugar be pro-
duced cheaply anywhere in the world. We be-
eve that the Florida peninsula has such areas and that
in due time they will be probably utilized. For those
localities protection is needed. There other
ton where sugar be grown but only at loss
compared with other localities. The whole business
should not be demoralized and placed in jeopardy to
take of such places, where other crops would nat
urally be profitable. Unless The south bulng the
market for geld bricks will not follow the lead of the
supplcans for sugar duties.
