PHYSICAL TRAINING IN BERLIN SCHOOLS. Many Changes Mill Take Place
 This September { ASTON JONES WEDDING

Taken to New Britain Hospital
 Berlin Items.
 The opening of the next school year in Berlin will see several changes in the public schools. The greatest change of all however, will take place in the physical education department, Heretofore physical education in the public schools throughout the state has not been compulsory and many towns and cities have not forced their children to take this subject Under the new plans of the state board of education, however, each town and city will be required to give the pu- pills of the school two and one-half hours week work in physical edu- cation. This will be done in Berlin according to an announcement made this morning by Superintendent Show alter, who is quoted as being highly in favor of the physical education move ment throughout the country
 With the introduction of this study in the local schools, it does not ne cessarily mean that more teachers
 
 for the present staff of teachers giv- ing the exercises. Clifford S. Brown ell. who is taking a special course in physical training at Columbia univer- sity this summer, will come to Berlin early in the fall and address a meet ing of the Berlin school teachers. At this meeting he will give them point CTS and instructions relative to the years work in physical education. The bill requiring such work in the schools was passed at the last session of the Legislature.
 MT. Showalter explained this morn ing that of the two and one-ha1f hours swork in this line, one-half an hour will be devoted to hygiene. The other two hours will be evenly divid- ed among organized games, supervis- ed play, folk dancing and games and calisthenics. In making an announce ment for the change to take place in the public schools of the state, Com missioner Meredith in Hartford, stat ed that the recess periods will in all probability be done away with or at least made much shorter. This however. will not seriously affect Berlin unless the pupil would rather give up part of the recess for the physical culture exercise. The ques- tion, however, will be decided at the next meeting of the Berlin town school committee.
 In reality the children will not be giving up their recess as games vii be played under the supervision o1 the children and they will be giver as much time to themselves as before Tn the state report, MT. Meredith Says that the vacation period in the sum- mer will be cut by two weeks and he school year added to by the same lensth of time. This will not have any effect on Berlin in the immediat future although it may in years te some.
 Berlin is one year ahead of time n regards to the law which allows he teachers to teach in the schools without giving adequate proof o1 heir ability The state law reads hat every teacher beginning with fuly 1922 must come LID to the at2acf-

VENTILATED CRATES BEST
FOR SHIPPING BERRIES

One of the most effffective methods
of causing fruits to decay in transit
is to pack them in solid crates that
afford little or no ventilation. A
few years ago this was the manner
in which early Strawberries were
shipped to market. The result was
that large quantities Of Strawberries
arrived at market in bad condition,
and the monetary returns to the
growers were smaller than they
should have been.
But today, largely as result Of
the activities of marketing special
lists of the United Sattes Department
Of Agriculture, the nonventilated
Hallock crate or coffin box, as 1t is
locally known in the Louisiana straw
berry district, Is now in universal
disrepute as strawberry container.
True, a considerable number of nom
ventilated strawberry crates are still
being used, in fact too many Of them,
but not nearly to the extenta that
they were used q few years ago.
Berries shipped in ventilated crates
invariably command premium over
berries shipped in non-ventilated
crates

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 28.-
President Harding, Secretary Of State

of war with Japan and charges Of
British designs to bring about such

These charges were contained in q
telegram from Thomas F. Willard,
the American writer on the far east.
"The far eastern situation" stated
Willard, els more ominous than I
have ever known 1t to be. regard
war with Japan almost certain and
rapidly nearing. A renewal Of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance on its old

PAYMENT OF ALLIED
DEBT IN COMMODITIES
MAY SOLVE PROBLEM
International Exchange Markets Dis
turbed by Excessive Importa-
ton Of Coin

WASHINGTON, d. c. June U.s.
Payment in commodities instead of
coin may solve the problem of getting
from the allies the $4,000, 0OO,O 900
war debt owed the United States.
Treasury department officials have
considered such a solution.
Secretary Mellon, in appearing be-
fore the Senate finance committee
on the debt situation last week. may
be questioned on the possibility of
obtaining payment in goods.
Payment of world debts in coin is
creating havoc in the international
exchange markets. Settlement of the
foreign debt to the United States
was deferred by the Wilson admins
tration because of the danger Of
throwing the exchange market into
confusion.
The United States needs millions
OF dollars, worth Of goods annually
from Great Britain, our greater
creditor. her colonies and from
France, Italy, Greece and other ma
lions which owe money to the United
States.

CONVENTION ELECTS
WOMAN AS PRESIDENT

DES MONIES, Ia, June 28.-Mrs.
w. A. Montgomery of Rochester N.
Y. is the first woman to become presi-
dent of a Northern Baptist conven-
ton.
She was unanimously elected by
ballot to that Office for the coming
year late yesterday. Her name was
the only one placed before the con-
vention here as delegates represent
ing 1,75O,000 members of the de-
nomination by the nominating COM
mittee. A formal ballot was taken
after several delegates objected to
an election by reclamation.
An attempt was made to nominate
Judge S. w. Freeman of Denver, in
opposition, but at the request of
Freeman, his name was withdrawn
by c. p. Bailey of Colorado.
Mrs. Montgomery's election was
considered a recognition of her work
in the woman's foreign missionary
society, which raised $450,000 in six
weeks for missionary work.
Seattle was awarded the 1922 con-
vention in preference to Atlantic City
and Columbus, Ohio.

RICHARD KING OF
FIGHT PROMOTERS
By HENRY I. FAIRFIELD

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Big
money comes only after big work, big
trouble and big worry.
Tex Richard, king of all boxing
promoters, has learned this in the
spectacular career that has made him
the biggest figure in the sporting
world.
Richard has done big things, but
he had to worry and work to do them
and the returns haven't always been
in proportion to the risk involved.
II the promoting king had been in
clined to worry abnormally, he would
have gray hair dating back to 1906
when he staged the Gans-Nelscn
lightweight championship bout.
Cans. then the champion, and Nell
son were dickering around for q
bout when telegram came from
an unknown, one Tex Richard, who
was running a gambling house in
Goldfield, Nevada, Offering $4,000
for the contest.
Cans and Nelson both laughed at
such a ridiculous offer and passed
it up as coming from nut" or a
publicity seeker. Richard kept in
sisting, however, and finally he pre-
vailed upon them to come to Gold
field where he showed them $4,000
in twenty dollar gold pieces. They
signed.
Richard was looked upon as a fit
subject for an insane asylum. He had
put up every cent he possessed and
was considered a sure loser but he
went through with the bout and made
money cleaning up about $4,000.
The trouble he had at Goldfield
was nothing compared to his experi-
ence when he made his next big step
in the game by signing Jim Jeffries
and Jack Johnson to decide the heavy
weight championship for a purse of
$4,000.
He had the fight all arranged and
an arena partly completed in Cali
fornia when the governor decided
that his state wanted nothing Of the
big bout and ordered Richard out.
He had his fight all dressed up and
had no place to go.
Richard dashed across the line
into Reno, Nevada, threw an arena
together and packed them in. The
receipts were close to 100000.
The Willard-Moran bout in Madi-
son Square Garden was easy, except
he had to guarantee the big Kansan
a fortune before he would consent to
meet the blonde Pittsburgher. He

By HAROLD D. JACOBS

NEW YORK, June 27.-Through
the medium of spiritualistic control.
the world will soon be ruled by the
greatest minds Of all times, dating
back to the beginning of history.
according to Frederick w. Constan-
tine Of Buffalo, New York.
Constantine is secretary Of the
general assembly of spiritualists Of
the state OF New York, which il hold
ing its annual convention here.
Such rapid progress has been made
in the last year in spiritualistic COM
munication that 1t is only matter
Of comparatively short time when
practically the entire population OF
the earth will be mediumistic, Con-
stantine declared in an interview.
Will Consult Great Men.
Az a result, he said, the world
will have the benefit Of consulting
such great men as Abraham Lincoln.
George Washington, Napoleon Bona
parte, julius Caesar, Solomon. Rob
ert Ingersoll. and Theodore Roose-
welt.
When this comes to pass, accord
ing to Constantine, there will be:
no more war. ,,.~-.i-a' r. &
No more crime.
No more poverty ana we will have
reached a stage comparable to tho
millennium.
"Of course. such great men -
have named, are In constant COM
munication with mortals, but only
to a limited extent at this time.
Constantine said.
Lincoln is perhaps in touch with
more mediums than any other great
man. owing to his wonderful spirit
uality.
"Spiritualism has made great
strides. Little more than century
ago we would have been burned at
the stake. The world war gave the
movement great impetus through the
desire Of hundreds Of Thousands to
) communicate with those they love.
In the last year our membership has
doubled.
''rhe worlds mortal population
amounts to few millions. Its spirit
ual population Is Thousands Of mill
ions. This overwhelming spiritual
pressure from the other side VIII

''In time our kings and presidents,
our parliments and congresses, our
business and commercial organisa-
tions will be completely dominated
by the great minds which have gone
before"

heretofore filed for district consta-
bulary positions have been turned
over to Major Lang. who will have
absolute control and management of
the trafic force in the enforcement
Of the highway laws in accordance

L. D. McArdle, director of the de-
partment Of efficiency. has been en-
deavoring to obtain the services Of
Major Lang for several weeks, but
the governor and department OF
business control hesitated In remov-
ing him from his position as super.
visor Of capitol buildings and
grounds ON account Of his splendid
service in that division. The only
reason 1t was sanctioned was because
Of Major Lang's experience in trafac

him for this new position. He was
formerly chief of the Seattle police
force.
Became Supervisor April 4.

Bad Break Came.

Bad Break Came.
Bad break came when he was gett-
ing ready for the Dempsey-Willard
fight in Toledo. He tied himself up
to a $127,500 purse but the prospect
was exceedingly rosy when the gov
ernor of the Buckeye state sane
toned the bout and the big stadium
was completed.
However the government. then in
charge of the operation Of the rail-
roads, refused to give any special
train service and the immense sta
dunn was only partially filled. Rick
ard made some money but not the
amount he was entitled to expect.
With almost a year spent in gett-
ing the principals signed, Richard
experienced similar trouble with the
Dempsey Carpenter arrangements.
But most OF the obstacles came early
when he had plenty of time to make
other arrangements.
Richard planned first to get the
champion and the Frenchman in the
ring at Madison Square Garden for a
purse of 100000, Of which $780,
900 was to 60 to Dempsey and $780,
900 to Carpenter.
The huge size of the purse brought
about such opposition that the New
York State Boxing Commission. aim
ing directly at the bout, ruled that
not more than SIS could be charged
for seat at any championship bout
This, of course, made it impossible
to stage the contest in the Garden
owing to it's limited seating capacity
Richard then set his eyes on Sleeps.

bile race track, where he planned to

Governor Miller then stepped In
and let 1t be known that the contest
could be held in New York state.
To remove the "big money scan
dial" Richard then succeeded in gett
ing the principals to work on pei
centage agreement by Offering then
