 Major Wilson, who Is promoting the fight, has been angling for the chance to stack Lewis against the French heavyweight for several months. but posed of George Cook, Australia's s heavyweight offering, that the match was arranged.
 Lewis, on his part, also has clean preaching his weight, and one or two others considerably in advance of. him in avordupois. but far behind him in skill and stamina.

Georges Carpenter Meets
 Kid Lewis In Bout Tonight

shoulder and chest, the disparity is almost negligible. Carpentter carries too much of his weight below the waist. He has the legs of a Rus sian ballet dancer, whereas Lewis legs are those of a cavalry rough rider.
 What little betting there is goes in favor of the Ere nchman, but the ad- n1irers of Lewis found consolation in the fact that if their man could only withstand that terrific right punch of Georges for the first six rounds the fight would be his. Open warfare would favor the big man, but Lewis vetsran of many fights, knows that kuccess for him is only assured mixing it and inf1ghting, a form - ringcraft which often in the past has led to the downfall of Carpenter.

BY WARREN w. WHEATON
International News scrxics.

The House Labor Committee,
with hearings ON it's coal strike
inquiry concluded, began today to
sift the mass OF testimony given It
by operators and union mine offi-
ciais In the hope of discovering one
suggestion which might lead TO
settlement of the controversy.
The committee found after over
a week OF Investigation:
i. That the miners are willing TO
meet In joint conference with the
operators whether all operators in
the central competitive field are
represented or II q sufficient ton
mage 20 fix basic wage scale WIN
meet.
2. That the operators remain
adamant In refusing to meet I'm
Joint conference except TO negotiate
State or district wage agreements.
3. That the Department OF Jus
tice VIII not prosecute participants
In a wage-fixing parley heretofore
declared in violation OF the anti
trust laws.

unwelcome.

Swift detection and prosecution Of
bad check operators win hereafter
be the rule among Washington re-
tail merchants replacing the more
generous policy pursued heretofore,
said Stephen II. Takes, secretary
of the Associated Retail Credit Men
Of Washington, today.
The need Of reducing the number
of such offenders In the District
was brought 10 the attention OF the
credit men at their monthly dinner
meeting In the Raleigh Hotel last
night. by Ralph Given, assistant
United States district attorney.
The practice Of passing bad checks
Is growing here TO an alarming sx-
tent, according TO Mr.. Given, who
urged upon the association the ne
cessity of organized effort.
John B. Densmore, former director
of the general council of the Depart
ment OF Labor, told OF the wartime
work OF the council. The meeting
was augmented by a vaudeville pro

'|[[)|}V1Y Q
Says Police Whistle Is More Effective Than
Revolver, but Not for Holding Up Bank.

If ne didn't know there was trou.
BILE somewhere around no might
walk right into II.
The law won't even let you car
ry an unloaded gun--you might
frighten the hold-up men, anyway.
A burglar is willing 10 take his
life into his own hands, but he's
not going TO let you take it into
yours.
In spite Of these facts this new
law is very liberal; 81 allows po-
liceman to carry a revolver, pro-
vided he uses Il on the right per-
son. 1t means that be must
never shoot at a bandit. unless
there's nobody else around
He must not shoot anybody until
he's sure he's D crook. III the cop
doesn't know the thug personally
he should 60 and get somebody 70
identify him.
There's no sense in passing this
new law. Just let things 20 along
as they are for another year, and
there won't be any more hold.ups.
The burglars VIII have all our
money by that time.

Somebody is trying to pass ma
tional law making II crime 10
carry a revolver. This is foolish
In case OF trouble you can't walt
10 have IL sent TO you.
This guy figures that by pro
hjbiting revolyers II win lessen the
danger Of hoId-ups, and 1t VIII. Tho
hold-up men won't be taking %
many chances Of getting shot.
If we take the revolvers away
from our citizens Il will be moro
humane TO the thugs.
Then they'll be able 20 get our
revolvers, and they need them.
Some burglars are going around
town right now only armed with
two or three guns
The law ought to be fixed so
that IL a hold-up man finds gun
on his victim he can have him
arrested.
This bird says that q police
whistle is more effective than q
six-shooter. Maybe II is but mo-
body ever saw q gang OF bandits
holding up bank at the point OF
q whistle.
The only difference between a
whistle and a gun is that you blow
your head off on one and the bandit
blows your head off with the other.
The police whistle is the most
humane thing OF all. AS soon as a
cop hears II he knows there's trou-
BILE and it's up to the citizens to
warn him.
