Jack Brady Will Meet Scheley At
 BeSsener Friday

Boxing will be reVrved at Besse- mer Friday night. when Jack Brady ties up with Knockout" Scheley of Mobile, in a 10-round battle. Brady has not fought 8 real fight in a good while, due to q bad case of rheumatism. which kept him on the shelf for about six months. However, he is all right now and anxious to get going again, and, having trained intensively for the bout, he announces himself in fine shape and anxious to be on top of his opponent. Fans saw Brady mix matters with Freddie Boorde in six-round semi final bout few weeks ago. Boorde won the decision, but Brady made him fight for it, and made the battle close one by using world of speed, which he still seems to have. ..
 Improves walIop
 Brady has always been somewhat deficient with his wallop when com pared with the other boys of his class. Of late, Jack has been try ing to remedy this, and 1t seems as though he has been successful. He still hits with the same snap and rapidity that has featured his bouts of tho past, but now his punches have more behind them than they used to have, and he believes that if he keeps on developing his punch, he will get his name on the kayo list. Brady is anxious to lick MT. Scheley over the knockout route, and will fight to that end.
 scheIey a Good Man
 scheley Is not going to be anything easy for Brady. if the dope on his record may be taken into consIdera- tion. Some of the boys that he has met are Freddie Boorde. Young Mo Govern, Young Stribling, Kid Peck. Kid Quinn, Watts and Dick Leonard. He was beaten in close battles by Boorde, Stribling and McGovern, but he managed to polish off the others in nice style. According to reports from Mobile, scheley is not only a speedy battler. but is also a terrible puncher. and will probably come here with his mind made up to make Brady kiss the canvas before the 10 rounds are over.
 As tho Mobile man has never fought before Birmingham audi ence 1t is rather hard to predict just who will win the little battle at Bes- semer. but if Brady wins, he Is sure to know he has had a tough scrap on his hands.
 The semi final bout will be be- tween Johnny Marlow and Sailor Simpson, both of whom the fans have seen before. Simpson has Marlow bested in the punching department, but Johnny seems to have him In the boxing, and so. the two should be about evenly matched.
 Aside from the big events. there will be three preliminaries. so the whole program should be one worth attending The bouts will take place at ths Red Mems hall at S;30 Friday night.

JAPANESE THINK 70 PER CENT NAVAL
 RATIO IS VITAL
Is Not Believed That They Will Break Up Confer ence, HoWever-Kato
 Will Not Talk
By Associated Press

Washington. November 30.-Admi- ral Baron Kato declined tonight to discuss the situation arising from the disagreements of the naval ex- perts on the ratio of limitation but one of those high In authority in the Japanese delegation unequivocally declared Japan believed that her 70 per cent ratio was vital because she believes anything less would place the empire at the mercy of any other great naval powers. This spokesman added that he felt that the Japanese were Justified in contending for a higher ratio, believing that the spirit of the American proposals supported Japan in her demand for a perma- nent navy large enough to safeguard her national interests.
 The Japanese view was represent ed in a political sense as follows
 Japan for the moment has no guaranty, nor has the present con- ference found guarantee, that no difficulties will arise in the future. If such a guaranty existed and the Japanese could return to Tokio with the conviction that all would be har- monious in the future. there would be no need of insisting upon any higher naval ratio. But Japan, from a practical point of view. from the standpoint of the comparative strength of navies. feels that she must maintain a naval force large enough to defend adequately the Japanese empire.
 Japanese tonight would venture no predictions as to possible solution of the deadlock among the experts, but Japanese in Washington, in n unofficial capacity, express the opin- ion that Japan could not put herself in the eventual position of causing a break In the conference. They ex- pressed considerable anxiety, how ever. as to how settlement was to be reached.

WHAT DOES EVER RYBoDY UsEr

What is there. asks my friend Ayres, that you use just ss much of whether you're rich or poor writes Fred Kelly in the Nations Business. I gave 1t up, and he declared that as good an example as any is plain table salt If you're in the habit of putting pinch of salt on your eggs in the morning, you won't take an extra pinch after you've grown more pros porous, and if you're suddenly thrown into a state of comparative poverty, you'll still have your pinch of salt just the same. If you can't have eggs in the morning, you'll probably put your customary salt ration on something else. By hook or crook Now, then, that being the case, salt ought to be in steady demand year in and year out, oughtn't 1t? Ana yet an investigator found some months ago that the bottom had dropped right out of the table salt market. The producers were not sell ing any table salt at all. Why? Just because the public was using up the slack. People recognized that they were buying salt, as we'll as every thing else, on a falling market. Hence, the family that had an extra sack of salt in the pantry used 1t up before going to the grocery for an other. The grocer, in turn, used up his reserve stock before ordering from the wholesaler. And the wholesale dealer delayed buying from the man. ufacturer so long as he had grain of salt still on hand.

[. 5. U. Tigers Are
 Ready For Aggies

Baton Rouge, La.. November 3D. Taking things easy during the past few days the L. S U. Tigers will set tie down to four days of hard work preparatory to leaving for Starks- vilie for one of the hardest games that the Tigers have listed on their schedule of 1921. The Mississippi Az gies held the strong Alabama Thin Red line to the same score as the L. S. U. Tigers by the hardest fight of the year finally held the Thin Red line.
 Lewis Out of Game
 With Lewis out of the game for the rest of the year, Coach Becock has shifted men about until finally the big Tiger tackle Steele Is play ing that position. The Tigers will not be up to their maximum playing strength by far when they tackle the Mississippi Aggies, as injuries dur ing the season have caused the Tigers to lose the services of many of their stars, Lewis. Helm, Busse and others are still on the injured list.
 The Tigers have thus far gone through a very successful season in so far as to winning the majority of games are concerned and was one of the few teams to go through sea- son with only one defeat chalked up against them.
 Can't Be Doped
 Using relative scores as dope from one side and then from another places Mississippi A. and M. the fla vorite, and then using the dope on the other hand from a different sec ton the Tigers rule probable favor ite, but as conditions stand the twp teams are nearly as evenly matched as possibly could be with the Tigers having the edge on the Aggies in the kicking department and passing end of the game. but the Aggies have the edge on straight football.
 The Tiger squad of 20 or more men will leave Baton Rouge Friday morn ing for Starksville.
