 MT. Dempsey. white. will fight MT. Wills, black, to see which can get the larger share of large purse, said to be million dollars Like the cost of moving pictures. prize fight purses must be taken with reserva- tions. In Spain the interest would be in a trial of skill and strength between bull and a matador. It's a matter of taste. The world is not getting fiercer, but tanner. In the good old days, when men were men, :yIadiators, killed each other with real weapons, and fought by the light of Durning Christians, smeared with as phalt, and used for torches. It was in the way of being real sports. In Roman days there were a few peo- pie with large skulls who suggested that the gladiators who did the fight ing were the sportsmen and the spec tators merely persons who preferred to see rather than to get into scrap
 Russell Sage Foundation VIII study New York City to find what it ought to be a hundred years hence. Not so easy to do. The prediction is that some 37,oO0,0OO persons may in habit a restricted area in city and vicinity. Henry Ford predicts a scat tering of population. due to telephone. radio, automobile and airplane.

 In Chicago they are throwing bombs The police have brought in some labor leaders. There is not much evidence against them. The police want to know what's going on'' It's rather unfortunate that the police can't lay hands on the ac- tual criminals. and yet more unfortu- nate that anybody can suppose the interest of labor will be advanced by bomb throwing. America is pro- ducing in Chicago Petrograd condi- tions The ballot will give Ameri- cans what they want as fast as they are sure they want it. To want something and not know what and try to get 1t by violence is stupid.
 Peggy Hopkins Joyce. much in the prints denies she has been asked to leave France. A Chilean of dis tinguished family killed himself. Chilean representative. it is said. asked that Peggy might go. She says not. A young man so foolish really is not worth the trouble. As for the young woman, when she re- turns to America. producers may ask themselves whether there ought not to be a group of pensioners produc- ing pictures which the public shall not see; realistic pictures, which would not be fit to see.
