TEX R|CKARD HAS
FIGHT BUT LACKS

New York, Feb. 2-Tex Richards
two little orphan fights are still
without home. A sick attorney
and the absence of half ton of Kan
,sas Drawn from the city are keeping
the friendless waits of Fistiana out
in the cold.
AS soon as his attorney is able to
be around again after a sick spell,
Rickard said today he would become
the whole works" of the Dempsey
Carpenter affair and that things
would begin to pop.
Jess Willard has some busindss
in the west that is keeping him away
for a few days and until he returns
the restaging of the tragedy of
Maumee Bay" cannot be discussed.
Jack Kearns, manager of Demp-
sey, meanwhile is running around
Broadway impatient at the delay in
negotiations which "is costing us
lots of money"
Kearns Sour on Willard.
Kearns is still strong to get Car
pentier and get him quick but he is
getting sour on the Willard PROPOSE
ton
"Willard wanted another chance at
the title and we're giving it to him"
he said today. II drop everything in
California and dash here to talk with
him and he runs away. I'm telling
the world that we can make lot of
Jack out in sticks and I'm going to
go after it soon."
Prospects of holding the Dempsey
Willard party here seem to be grow
ing thinner.
The refusal of the state boxing
commission to waive the S15 top price
limit makes it almost impossible to
stage the bout in New York, Madison
Square Garden, packed to the rafters
would not be worth ore than 500, 600
at that price and Dempsey wants al
most that much for gymnasium work
to say nothing of Wizards ambitions
in the financial line.
Kearns says he's not worrying
where the fight will be held. "f
Richard doesn't want it, l know sew
eral reliable promoters who will take
it off his hands. The boys up in
Benton Harbor would be glad to see
the champion work again and they
would also like to see the Carpenter
thing" he said.
Rickard says he has no intentions
of letting the Dempsey-Willard mill
get out of his hands.
"The date may be postponed until
some time this summer when we can
hold it outside. AS soon as willard
returns or gets in communication
with us, it will be decided" he said.

DYSPEPSIA AFTER 6 MONTHS
Disease That Was Fatal to Tortoise
Had Its Inception Long Pre-
vious to Hibernation.

A very remarkable case of what rs
known as deferred dyspepsia" oc'
Cured at the London Geological gar
dens last year. A fine specimen OF the
elephant tortoise was shipped to Eng
lard, reaching its destination in Oc-
tobcr just as the chilly weather was
beginning. On its journey the tortoise
seems to have regaled itself to a con-
siderable extent on the straw in which
it was packed. Almost as soon as 1t
arrived the tortoise passed into state
of Information. The following April
the creature took short walk round
on sunny day but its activities were
short lived. Quite soon the tortoise
became desperately i'll with stomach
trouble and it was not long before 1t
died. A post-mortem examination re-
vealed the fact that the animal had
died from acute Indigestion started by
the large amount of straw eaten On
its journey to England. During the
winter sleep of the creature the dis
ease seems to have been held in aoey-
ance only to develop on fatal lines

FATNESS NO SIGN OF HEALT.
Increased Weight, After the Age Of
Forty, Rather a Danger Sig.
nal, Say Experts.

When a person becomes StOIt after
about forty years of age it Goes not
worry him, Or her, unless the stoutneSs
be so great as to cause discomfort or
diSfeurement. Nevertheless, the statiS-
tics of l:fe insurance companies prove
that Incl ase of weight with age is
not favorable to length of days, ac-
cording to Drs. Irving Fisher and
e. l.. Fisk, the greatest authorities on
insurance statistics.
What are the burdens Of obesity
and why does it shorten life:" asks
the Journal Of the American Medical
Association. Various answers, mostly
indefinite in character, may be forth
coming in reply to this question. Tis-
sue fat must be carried about like any
ether incubus. We are reminded that
overweight puts a strain on the heart
and on the joints and that it pushes
up the diaphragm and cramps the
lungs A gaining adult who is already
overweight may find his physical ac-
tivities restrained and bodily exertion
made labored. Accordingly, with an
unchanged food intake the surplus of
unused energy accumulates and a vi
cious cycle is presently established.
The obese person inevitably limits his
exercise; he grows heavier from the
unused reserves, and his activity there
upon becomes even more restrained
and limited. Overfeeding, obesity and
lack of exercise interplay until big
becomes bigger"
And DR.. E. ?. Joslin indicates fat
ness as responsible for diabetes.

Circuiting the Earth.

A person making circuit Of the

met before complete rotation Of the
earth has been made. Thus the
period from noon until the sun is
again met in the meridian is shorter
than from noon to noon in one
locality. Going westward requires q
little more than twentyfour hours for
the sun "to catch up," so that from
noon to noon by sun observation

four hours. In order 20 keep dates

pay pensions to the descendants OF

battle of Klosterkamp in 17SO, to
keep the French army from being sur
prised. 1t also pays IS pensions that
date from the first empire. To La
Boissiere de Chambord was paid 5000

months ago. because dauphin OF
France killed one Of his ancestors.
and until recently it paid pension
to the descendants of Montcalm. But
the tremendous pension list, which is
the more surprising because OF the
traditional thrift of the French, now
has attracted the attention Of econom-
ical legislators and is likely to be
much curtailed.

Sandy, who came back from London
saying that all LondonerS were thieves

he had been going down Bond street,
one day, and had been lured by an ad-
vertisement into buying thousand
pins for a penny as a present for ms
wife. But when he came to count them
there were 16 short. Whether such
yarns are true or not does not matter,
but everyone knows that the Scots are
ken about the 'bawbeeS." Perhaps
that is why the present outcry in Brit

smile at such suggestion, and point
out that the chancellor of the ex-

PROVIDES FARMS FOR POOR
SeIf-Hep Project Fathered by Nebras-
ka PhiIanthropist Seems Move
in Right Direction.

H. D. Watson, millionaire farmer
and philanthropiSt Of kearney, Neb.,
who is perhaps doing more than any
other one man in the United States
to make the "back-tO-the-land" move
ment q reality. is in Alamosa inyeSti-
eating the advantages of the San Luis
valley as place to locate one Of his
community farm projects, O. E. Meyer
writes in the Rocky Mountain News.
Mr.. Watson already has acquired a
tract of 900 acres at Carbondale, Colo,
and is now making arrangements for
starting one of his farm communities
there. However, the Carbondale dis
trict is limited in extent and land is
higher priced. and he found it mex
pcdient to acquire as large q ract
as he wanted. He will settle family
on each % acres of the Carbondale
tract. and the only condition which
Mr.. Watson places upon an applicant
for one of his community tracts is
that the applicant be absolutely with
out money or other property.
The tenant is located on the tract
with all necessary tools, stock and
seed furnished. In addition he is
furnished with sum of money during
the first year. After that the land is
expected to produce enough to make
n living for the family and provide a
sinking fund for paying for the land.
In six or eight years the farmer. If
he is the right sort, owns his land.
