The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-08-02
By MAXWELL ALLEN


 After 10 rounds of some of the hardest and fiercest boxing enter Iainment that has ever been staged >Sn Birmingham by .welterweights, Dummy Burlington was awarded he judges decision over Sailor Blanque of New Orleans. Dummy sarned the decision all right, but tn 2 Crescent. City star gave him run tor his money. A tenth round fin- sh by Harrington and a bit of ex- Fitement following enlivened up the kvening.
 Harrington and Blanque certainly gave a hair raising exhibition of battling last night In fact, it was said by some unplaced humorist hat the fans were stuck" last night inasmuch as they paid for their seats and didn't get to use them, as times were so exciting that everyone stood up the major Ety of the time.
 Be that as it may. the bout last night was thriller from start to finish. The first round was natu- |rally a bit tanner than the others, but, at that, it was exciting enough Ito keep everyone on his own and his neighbors toes. Dummy flashed Ia newly acquired degree of speed, land used his left mitt to good ad |vantage.
 Boxers Open Up In the second round. both boxers |opened up a bit, and the real bat |tling began. After many hard |crashes had been exchanged, it th ha trie c1r had a bit the best of the round. The third and fourth rounds were snappy, with Dummy improving all the time. The fifth was spent in sparring and catching up on their wind by both boxers. In the sixth. the real fun begas
 Burlington took the aggressive from the start and took an early lead by landing some stiff left Jabs and couple of hard rights that should have held the sailor off. Blanque came right back at Dummy, however, and landed some very good blows himself. Dummy was bit more aggressive and landed few More telling blows, so the round waE his.

 zrhs seventh stanza was about even VIII Ipe 6iSHlH Weul So t'inAdeS VI ' shade. The ninth round was Bar ringtons by shade, but in the tenth he all but murdered the Cres- cent City boxer. Dummy exhibited a fiashy shifty of right following left and landing blow after blow, ham, mered his man from rope to rope. There was no doubt as to who took that round, for 1t was Barrington's from start to finish
 After the tenth round was over, Blanque through bit of old time ring craftiness, raised his own hand on high, as if acknowledging the vic- tory. In the olden days pugs used to resort to this trick to influence tn; referee and crowd in their favor. It didn't work this time, but for while there was bit of excitement as the fans couldn't quite ca tch. the drift of things.

Tiny Woman TameS
Monarch 0fJungle

( big steel enclosed ring make TWEEN
| ty-a full score-of big yellow
and black jungle prowiers do her
bidding. To the sircus patrons 1t
will be a distinct and decided
novelty with "a KICK" but to the
circus folk themselves as they
watch, it seems a miracle.
For be it known, in the past,
| the Royal Bengal tiger-the great,
| velvety-footed man eater of the
jungles, has been considered un-
tamable. Lions and leopards have
for these many years, responded to
the whip-nap of the trainer, but
not his serene highness. the Royal
Bengal. Whether in the deep re-
cesses OF the tripical forest or in
the steel protected cages of the
circus, the big Bengal has remain
ed the monarch. Always has he
defied his arch-enemy-man.
And then came "the woman.
She was little, pretty, blonde of
hair, with Wide-open blue eyes and
gentle manner And yet, Rajah
and his sulking, hulking mates
obeyed her. They wondered why.
Commencing with but a single
tiger, Miss Stark made him do
her bidding. Then she added
few more. Year by year the num-
Der used in the act have increased
until this year she will present in
the steel ring of the Al G. Barnes
big Touring trained animal cir
Gus, an even twenty. And she will
put them through stunts" that
not even the faithful and trained
domestic dog could hope to accom-
plish. Rajah and his mates snarl;
for why, they ask in their catfish
way, should Royal Bengal mind
anyone, especially when that
one" is woman. But mind they
do. They have to. Little Miss
Stark makes them.
How does she do it? Circus folk
ask the same question. But she
does, and on Saturday, May 7,
when the big Barnes show comes,
al may see her.

"The reduction of armamenLs
is obviously repugnant to the
naval and military authorities,
and they approved of it as an
ideal only because they were
afraid of an attack on the bud
get."
Mr.. Oyama, who is known as a
socialist, declared that Mr.. oza-
XII committed a grave miscalcula-
tion in limiting the evils of for
midable armaments to the de-
cline of national strength and in
falling to deny the evils of capi-
talism and nationalisIn which are
the fundamental source of ag.
gressive Imperialism. He contin-
ued: "His silence about capital
ism and nationalism implies the
acknowledgment of those sourc-
es of ornaments competition,
while his suggestion that the ex-
tension of armaments in Germany
resulted in the growing influence
of socialists as well as his belief
in the future of the league of ma
tions shows that he is only a sup
porter OF capitafistic information
al friendship"

County Nurse
BigFactorIn
Cleanliness

That county nurse commands
power in a community as an "out-
side influence for orderliness"
stands out in experiences of the
Marion nurse. In one county
school district was boy, over
whom the teacher had little con-
troll. Among other eccentricities
he was woefully dirty and could
not be made to keep even normally
clean. The nurse came one day for
inspection. One look at John"
and he was told to go home and
not come back until he was scrub
bed up.
Evidently the nurse was a new
source Of authority to John" for
ne was unrecognized at school the
next day, he was that clean.
Another family in a different
community was reported to the
nurse as a nuisance because of the
filthy living conditions surround
Ing the home. The nurse called
and pointed out to the foreign
mother of five children that
good Cleanup" would be desir.
able. Not without tact, but with
authority. the nurse made her de-
mands.
The next day she returned un-
expectedly and the signt of her
coming started a cleaning and
securing commotion that lasted nm
til the house was 'presentable and
the family anticipating another
call from the nurse has kept It
that way, according to last re-
ports.
In a number of Oregon coup-
ties, the work of the nurse has be-
come 80 well recognized that the
county has delegated all social and
poor relief work to her.

geoisie, is at the same time rep

can never expect that such a
question as disarmament will gain
the support Of majority"
He continued: For instance,
II is proyerbial that one of the
four planks of the Seiyukai gov
ernment party is the completion
OF national defense, while the
Kenseikai opposition has a sim
liar policy. The Seiyukai and the
Kenseikai have no divergence of
opinion about the important ques-
tlons. of the nation and they act
on the same principles, or more
truly, on no principles.

Agriculture Bureau
Has Trouble Spending
Half Million Dollars

washington, May 2. = The gov
ernment, which lately has been
having difficulties in getting
money, also occasionally encount-
ers difficulty in getting rid of it.
The latter difficulty faces the
agricultural departments bureau
of markets which is trying to dis
tribute half million dollars
among wool growers and distrib-
uters. The job has been dragging
along for months without coming
to an end.
Under war time price regula-
tions, the government bought all
the wool produced in the United
States, fixed the commission to
all dealers and buyers, and under
took to see that the sheepmen
got the exact amount due them
on their entire flock growth. In
view of the tremendous weight of
wool handled, small mistakes in
weights and estimates accrued
during the two years the system
was operated, and in the end the
audit of the joint accounts show
ed that dealers had 1856, 6,013.9S
on hand in excess Of their allot-
ed profits and commissions. This,
1t was decided, should go back to
the producers, in accordance with
the amount of wool they furnish
ed the government. But it has
proven easier to decide the prob.
lem than to work 1t.
The government to date has
distributed $1O1,569.62 to 1880
wool growers. Most of the excess
profits originated in the territory
east of the Mississippi river,
where small sheep flocks are
somewhat Of a side line for farm
ers. Big producers. in the west
were easily accounted for.
The government thus is up
against the job of paying the
money out in amounts ranging
from 80 cents upwards to SIS. AL
so, II has been discovered that
while $500 country buyers took
out proper licenses and came un-
der regulation. 1869 storekeep-
ers. bankers and others bought
small lots OF wool. but didn't han
die enough to acquaint them
selves of the requirements. The
balance OF the half million is like
ly TO lie in the treasury for in
