This attraction which is offered

The little fellow attracts the atten-

takes him into her fashionable home.
Some splendid comedy situations

Into the story is woven a clever
plot that deals with the efforts of
society to cope with criminals. When

with the result that the gang is
finally caught, but not until the audi

ENGLISH RING LACKS
STRONG HEAVYWEIGHTS
By David L. Blumfeld,
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent


| New York, Aug. 9.-The British
boxing public is engaged in it's usual
pastime-looking for white hope.
! They will have to go on looking. Even
the brightest optimist in England
shakes his head sadly when the heavy
weight question, crops up ...- -~: =. -.
England has net even the glimmer

Beckett, but it shows what the Brit

The funny thing is, that there is NOT
an Englishman in the country who
can beat Joe Beckett at his weight.
Moran did so, it is true, but popular
as Pittsburgh Frank may be over in
England, he is not an Englishman.
! Jack Bloomfield, the Islington mid
,dleweight, who is recognized in Eng
land as middleweight champion of
Canada, nearly had Joe out and
asleep in an exhibition bout with the
12-ounce "pillows" few weeks ago,
and no doubt Boy Mccormick could
do the same to the champion if Beck
EFT would accommodate him. Beckett
wasn't born yesterday, however, and
as Bloomfield and Mccormick are
both middleweights he is quite justi-
fed in laughing off the challenges
which are flung at him by these two
boxers, both of whom were trained
in America. So much for Joe

FAVORABLE CHANGES IN
READY-MONEY SITUATION

A remarkably favorable change in
the ready-money situation has be-
come apparent during the past 80
DAYS, according to statistics gathered
by the Strout Farm agency, which
has nearly 700 branch offices in 33
states. The reason for the change
is not clear, but the fact remains, ac-
cording to returns from thousands Of
prospective buyers in all parts of the
country, that the average man has
available today for a first payment
on farm, approximately $1,000
more than he had during the earlier
months of the year.
Hundreds of thousands of ques-
tionnaires are sent out by this agency
every year to prospective buyers in
all parts of the United States and
Canada for the purpose of ascertain
ing the exact kind of farm they want
and the amount Of money they ere
prepared to pay down in the first in
stance. Ever since last September
these questionnaires have been show
ing a steadily smaller amount of
available cash, and during the earlier
part of the summer thousands of
them were returning showing $500
or less as the maximum amount the
would-be farm buyers had in hand
for first payment. A little more
than month ago, however, the aver.
age leash" item jumped upward and
has been increasing steadily in size
since that time.
"Of course the. demand continues
overwhelmingly for the low-price
easy-payment farm because not less
than .three-quarters of it still comds
from men who literally are being
forced out of the cities and to the
farms by the industrial depression
and lack of employment" said Mr.
Strout, '''but even these buyers seen
