1t may be all right for that purpose,
but it does not have that appearance
to me. Certainly it will have to be
mixed well with the other soil on the
road. And in fact these top soil
roads can not be mended by simply
filling the holes as they work in the
roads, because the filing will be fan
ned out right away. The only way lis
to plow up the road and mix the fill

Pomaria to Make improvements.

Pomar:a school district voted on
Tuesday, 16 to 25, to issue $4,000 m
bonds for the purpose of adding four
more rooms to the building, SO that
the children may be accommodated
and high school department added.
I drove down ON Wednesday morning
to meet with the trustees who desir-
ed to get off for day or two, rest
and recreation and wanted to get the
work arranged so that the building
may be ready for the opening of the
school. In fact the trustees, or rath-
er one of them, Mr.. Thos. A. Settler,
phoned me Tuesday night to meet
with them at o'clock on Wednesday
morning, and I told him | would be
there on one condition that he have
breakfast for me, and l was there on
the minute and the breakfast was
there too, and I enjoyed it very much.
Fact is you always get a good meal
down this side, and 1 always enjoy
going down there. Work will be
started on the enlargement of the
building at once. This building was
planned and built with the idea of
adding these four rooms If we can
make some other adjustments we
have in mind down that side we will
have a great school at Pomaria and
we are going to have one of the best
in the county.

I did not box with any experienced fighter until Francois Descamps had taught me fully in the methods he knew I must learn before could hope to cope with the world.
 I learned from my first bout and I learned from my last one, which, by the way, as first promised to be one of the hardest in my career. I watched the Americans box and saw them at their fighting. I watched the wonderful effective Englishmen stand up and drive out straight-arrn blow of grand force. And I put the two methods together. I inserted some of my own.

 I want people to understand this. I want them to know how valuable I consider the method of boxing practised here.
 The British arc outstanding boxers. They learn to lead and get away, to strike hard, clean blows straight out. They do not know the meaning of this infighting which forms the basis of attack for so many Americans.

I set myself to learn those methods of fighting and I have succeeded. I believe.

 I want to say these things before I start unrolling the panorama of events in my life, for then the reader will be better able to understand the gradual growth I experienced before becoming the heavyweight champion of Europe. As 8 child I studied my opponents, both before they entered the ring and after we had exchanged the first blows. At times I have gone to watch my probable opponents fight other men. I have imagined myself in the ring with them watched the leads and counters and studied out what would have done against each. Then I have taken the data I collected back to the gymnasium with me, stud jed it again, and then put into prac- tice against sparrinC partners my theories with regard to those particu- lar fights. Those battles were won before they were fought for on sev- eral occasions it was possible for me to carry out to the most minute de- tail the movements and blows I had decided to use.

CARPENTER ARRIVES
Frenchman Leaves New York at Once for His Training Quarters at Manfas. set, l.. I.-yyil Work in Privacy.

New York, May 16.-The steamship La Savoie, with Georges Carpentier, the European heavyweight boxing champion aboard, arrived in port this morning.
 Accompanying Carpenter was his manager, Francois Descamps and sparrins partner, Paul Journee, French heavyweight.
 Tex Rickard was at the head of an official welcoming party which awaited Carpentier at the dock. Rickari and Jack Dempsey already had sent the Frenchman messages of greeting by wireless.
 Plans were made to take Carpenter to his training camp at Manhassett, l.. l., this afternoon.
 Training quarters have been con- structed on a spacious tract of land in the exclusive residential section of ManhasSet.
 It has been officially announced that Carpenter will train privately, exclud- ing all admirers from the camp while he is working.
 Carpentier's staff of camp assistants has not been announced. He engaged known to have requested that Jeanette, veteran negro heavyweight of Hoboken, be employed to assume charge of his sparring activities. Jeanette assisted Carpenter to prepare for his bout with Levinsky. Marcel Thomas, French well terweight, also is in this country and may be pressed into service at the Car pentier camp.

can put him out is virtually to kill him. He has the capacity to stand much punishment.
 Carpenter in no wise suffered from his five years absence from the rinS during the war. On the contrary
 he has profited from it by growing up. Before tho war he was still a
 boy. Now he is a man, full grown and mature. his muscles fully developed and his fist hardened.
 The efficacy of his punch was demonstrated in a dramatic way in the fight against Beckett. Five blows-think of it--sufficed to break man supposed to have more en- durancc than any boxer in Britain.
 MathematicaIly. I admit it is pos
 sible to parcel out the chances of
 both Dempsey and Carpentier as about even. Against Dempsey's
 greater strength and bulk you may
 put Carpenters superior science and speed. Theoretically, they should
 balance.
 In expcrietce Carpenter has the
 edge, having been in the ring since 1908. while Dempsey made his debut as recently as 1915.
 He is also a year older. having been
 born January 12, 1894, while Demp-
 sey first saw light June 26. 1895.
 Tho comparative effectiveness Of
 tho two boxers punch is debatablc.
 Dempsey is supposed to be stronger. He undoubtedly is But strength is
 not all that counts in hitting. boxer must also know how to hit
 and when. think Carpenters moro
 intimate familiarity with the secrets of the noble art will enable him to
 deal quite as telling-if not as hard n bIpv ua his oppDOent. Carpcntier's skill in tho art of re- cclvinx n blow is well known. His habi of fighting with his neck and head relaxed. has often deceived sport writers who were watching him at the ringside for the first time. While the attitude may seem to indi- cate fatigue it really represents not only conservation of strength but an ability 10 absorb part of the impetus of a blow before the muscles reach | the limit of their elasticity. This lit- tic give" sometimes makes an i'm mense difference in the effect blow has upon q boxer.
 Dempsey may knock Carpenter down as many times O.. "-''shes--- provided he can of course. Carpen- | tier will always spring up. ready for more. The only way Dempsey can keep him on the floor is to kill him. I ring general in every respect. His use of his brains during the heat of | a most difficult combat has often as- founded me.
 | Carpentier literally makes a profes- sion of his puEilism. He studies for
 every fight as carefully as any gen.. ! cral ever prepared for battle. He is the great intellectual of the ring.
 His attachment to his parents. es- peciaIly his mother, is most touching. | I personally know that the happiest moment of his life was when he was | abIe--with his earnings from the ring ito buy a little homo In Lens.
