New York. Jan 25,-Jess Willard,
former heavyweight champion, spent
today making preliminary arrange
mems for his return bout with Jack
Dempsey scheduled here for March II.
Willard, who is accompanied by his
manager, Ray Archer, stated that one
of the first details to be settled is that
regarding the site of his training camp
and the engagement of sparring part
ners.
A number of camp quarters offered
will be inspected next week.
According to Archer. it is proposed
to select a quiet, isolated camp where
willard can settle down for six or
seven weeks of training. A tentative
list of sparring partners has been com
piled and from these four to six
heavies will be selected. According TO
Wizards statements, these men will
be picked for their fighting ability.
Fast, hard hitting boxers who can give
and take smashing blows will have the
call and willard will have enough 10
permit each in turn TO take one or
more days rest.
A special trainer also will be named
in all proba bility, as well as a physl-
clan who will inspect Wizard for mus

Charles Fat" winters, lauded as

CENTRAL MEETS CANON CITY
Last season the Canon City high
school cage artists, by their win over
the Wild Cats, prevented the Pueblo
five from being entered in the state
basket ball tourney.
Tho Canon City men are fast play
crs. Under the direction of Coach
Hickey they have been developing this
years squad for two years. Team
work is the cpitomc of their every ac-
tion.
Coach HulinG, at Central, has devel-
oped the fastest basket shooting crew
that has been seen at the south side
school for somo years. In addition to
the fact that the Blue and White play
crs are efficient ball movers on the
court they are able to sink the sphere
thru the Noted hoop from the most
seemingly impossible floor positions.
Captain "Shanty'' Cochran. of the
Wild Cats. possesses that usually rare
gift, in high school athletic organiza-
tions,-of being able to correctly guide
his team while at work on the court.
Cochran is the shining light of the
south side crew. He makes a habit of
standing any place on the hoor and
dropping tho ball thru with case for
a score.
Coach HulinE usually leaves the
management of tho Central five, while
in play, to Captain Cochran. 1t will
be remembered that during the Wal
senburg-Central contest, at Walscn-
burg,-in the second half the Pueblo
ans seemed to be losing their grip
on a comfortable lead. Cochran re-
auestcd a halt, gathered his cohorts
in the center of the floor and could
be seen diminishing them.
The result was that the Wild Cats
came back in play with removed vigor

speech are "outlawed by common
usage and a sense Of good FORM"
Who has decreed the outlawry? 1t
is important to know the source Of
the authority. A certain conserva-
tism prevails in all such matters, and
not even the cultured spelling reform
ers have been able to put over their
authorizations in the interest of con-
sistency. The decree of the Cook
county superintendent is not, of
course, the last word on the subject.
Fortunately, educators have not hith-
erto taken their cue from the south
ern end of Lake Michigan, and so now
the people who continue to use "It
is L" and to avoid He DON'T and the
teachers who continue to correct their
pupils when they use the substitutes
now permitted officially in Chicago
will not feel necessarily stilted and
egotistical.
If it is the ambition Of the Cook
county people to stand as pioneers in
everything, even at the expense of
the treasured parts of speech and
forms of syntax, they are, of course,
entitled to do so, but they will not
lead any large number of the people
of other sections in this adventure in

immigration in Conference.

The way is now open to an enact
ment putting some sort of limitation
upon the inflow of immigrants. Sat
urday the Senate by an overwhelming
vote passed a substitute for the House
bill, and thus the measure is in shape
to go to conference with a prospect
of an agreement before the session
closes. The House bill would bar all
immigrants for year, excepting rela-
tlves of persons. now in this country.
The Senate substitute would limit the
total number to be admitted during the
next twelve months to 355,O00. This
latter proposal would admit about 40
per cent fewer immigrants than under
the measure reported from the Senate
committee.
A compromise between these two
measures should be easily effected. 1t
is claimed by the advocates of the
Senate substitute that it would keep
out more Of the aliens than the House
bill, with it's sweeping prohibition ex-
cept as against relatives. Under the
relatives" clause, it is urged, many
thousands would slip in who should
be excluded.
With unemployment as prevalent
as it is today. with disease menacing
us through the ports, something must
be done in regulation, if not complete
prohibition. for a period. The con-
ditions imperatively demand action, if
only for short time, to give breath
ing spell. No matter what the limit
is, no matter what the conditions may
be that are imposed, a barrier should
be raised to check the now unim-
peded flow into the country of all
sorts and conditions of men and
women.
If our immigration were distrib-
uted properly it would not be a prob
lem. But it tends to congest already
crowded centers and to make worse
already difficult social and economic
conditions. America does not now
need labor. 1t needs work for the
labor already available. There is no
domestic occasion for newcomers. II
we are to be vent for the mistreated,
unhappy, fortune-seeking Of Europe
we must weight that purpose in the
balance with our own dangers and dis
comforts.

Selling to Latin America.

In an address delivered Saturday
night in Philadelphia before the Ameri-
can Academy Of. Political and Social
Science, Secretary Colby said:
The great barrier to American
progress abroad is language The
people of the United States are not
with man except in the terms Of a
common vocabulary. Business has no
time for the interpreter, and no pa
thence either. Until the utterly un-
founded fallacy that English will
carry you around the world Is ex-
ploded, and until the men whom we
send as representatives, either diplo-
matte, consular or commercial. to the
countries of Latin America speak the
beautiful tongue of the Spaniard or
the Portuguese. our progress win be
halting and disappointing"
The American business world should
heed these excellent observations
They go to the root Of the very i'm.
statesmen sent to Latin America should
be equipped not only with samples of
the goods they have to offer, but with
a command of the proper tongue in
which to offer them.
And more than this. A command of
that tongue will enable a man to talk
not only business, but other things.
1t will enable him to qualify for dis
cussions of political and social and
literary subjects. He should know
the people, and how to "get next" to
them; be familiar with the books they
read; be in sympathy with their en-
deavors and able to follow and under
stand and applaud the progress they
make.
1t was in this way the English and
the Germans built up their trade with
Latin America before the world war.
They sent to the scene representa-.
tives who arriving on the scene knew.
or could easily find. their way around;
who spoke the language of the
tribe" and lacked nothing to put them
EN- rapport with their. surroundings.
We should take this leaf out Of their
books.

other things to be done to bring the
patent office out Of the slough into
which it has been forced by adverse,
or rather neglectful, legislation.
At present the overturn of per-
sonnel in the patent office is exces-
sive. The service does not attract
men of capacity save as a training
school. The government is, in effect,
conducting a technical institution for
the instruction of patent experts, who
go out as quickly as possible into
private practice for in most cases sew
eral times the highest possible COM
pensation in government employ.
Not only is the patent office force
inadequately paid, but it is made
quate in size. The work is congested
and not sufficient time can be given
to the consideration of cases. Ameri-
can invention is exceptionally active
at present. but with the patent office
choked as it is inventors are checked
and industry is consequently impeded.
The interest of the American Engi-
neering Council in this situation is
certain to be helpful, and there is
reason to hope that before the ses-
sion ends, short as the period is, ac-
tion will be taken by Congress along
both the lines Of required improve
ment, the enactment of satisfactory
patents treaty law, and the adoption
of suitable scale of compensation
for the experts who are passing on
the merits of American inventions.
