Knocked Out Frequently.

TITZ boxed a four-round ex-
hibition with Tony Ross at
- Newcastle, Pa, March Z,
1907. On July II of the same year
Jack johnson knocked him out in
two rounds at Philadelphia.
He managed to stop Jim Hall in
a round on September Fl, 1908, but
foolishingly agreed to meet Bill
Lang at Sydney on December 27,
1909, and was knocked out in the
twelfth round.
Four years later, when the once
formidable Fitz was mere shadow
of himself, came the no-decision
thing with Sweeney. Therefore, it
seems hardly fair to Jack Britton
to count in Fits record after his
defeat by Jack O'Brien December
20, 1905, at San Francisco. Tech
nically Fitz was still in the ring.
Actually he was merely cluttering
up the scenery every time he took
off his stage toys and drew on the
gloves.

Journey for the Hilltoppers. Next
week In and around New York.
Georgetown Is called upon to meet
the Crescent A. C. on February 90.
New York University the next night.
and Rutgers College the following
night. -
These three teams will prove as
tough an assignment as could be
looked for. The Crescent club was
beaten by Niagara University this
year for the first time in thirty
two starts.
New York University, winners Of
the A. A. u. title two years ago. are
quite up to strength this season,
while Rutgers has always been
noted for its rugged basketball
teams.
The HilltOppers began late and
are finishing a bit early. George.
town is more than anxious to de-
vote its time to starting baseball
and continuing track athletics.
, The basleters, with fine record,
will wind up brief and unusually
successful season. The veteran
combination has proven superior
to anything it has met and has
rarely been extended Tor VIC
tory.
With the basketball season waning
and the baseball season in the offing,
the Hilltoppers will devote practi-
cally all their energies to making the
indoor track meet a success.
The games to be held in Conven-
ton Hall on March are expected TO
surpass anything ever held by the
\Hilltoppers, and this includes no less
than sixteen past engagements.
Georgetown is matching up some
of the great college rivals for relay
races, and announcements coming
from the Hilltop from time to time
Indicate that the meet will be regu-
lar affair.
The feature race as announced
some time ago will be the special
mile, in which Ray, Curtis. Shields,
Cutbull, Brown and Connolly will be
matched. Such a collection OF milers
in one race here would be worth more
I, than the price of admission.
Rays startling performances the
past few weeks, Connolly stunning
in the relay the other day and the
recent work of Shields and Cutbiu
show these worthless to be at top
form now.
The school boys have wound up
their title series. The outstanding
features of the season were the
performances Of the Central and
Business basketers. Central, with
scarcely a let-up, literally cleaned
the boards. Business, after q poor
start, developed rapidly under Mike
Kelly. Eastern showed flashes OF
form, but, with Tech and Western,
can be rated as an in-and-Out team.
1t is peculiar that the best playing
was done by forwards and centers
Few guards came in for special no
tice. OF the forwards, Dey and
Birthright, of Central, are selected
as the best offensive men.
The center berth Is awarded to

sistently good and the best floor man
in the series. In an all-high selec

awarded a position, and he Is placed

Other players who came in for
special notice are Baird. of Western;
Barrett, of Business; Hook, OF East
ern; Jeffress, Of Western, and
Woerner, of the same school. House,
Of Tech, was another sterling guard.
With the exception Of the Central
team, all of the others were well
matched.
Tonight at Central High School
in the girls gymnasium the high
school champions will meet the
Princeton freshman five. Central
is primed for the encounter and is
expecting to give the Tiger team
q first class argument.
Jimmy Lemon. last years Central

The following afternoon Central
tackles another freshman team,

which will thoroughly test the
strength and endurance Of the Mt.

SPEED OF BIRDS.

Certain species of hawks have a
speed of 200 feet a second, or
about 1876 miles an hour, says the
biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This might be a suitable rate for
racing airplane. The canvasback
duck can fly from 100 to 100 feet
second, but its usual rate of 60
to 70 miles an hour would he pretty
fast to be enjoyable in a plane
making a pleasure trip.
The crow is the least rapid of a
list of % migratory birds, flying an
insignificant average of As feet a
second, or 30 miles an hour. Of
course this speed maintained stead
lily in an automobile would mean a
very fair rate of progress, defying
the speed laws in many eommun,
tiles. Most of the birds listed.
however, do better than the crow.
Curlews and jacksnipes can fly SIS
and 65 feet a second, while quails,
prairie chicken, and ruffed grouse
can make Is feet. The dove can
reach speed of 100 feet second,
or 68 miles an hour, although its
usual rate is less. Redheads blue
winged teals, green-winged teals,
Canada geese, and different varities
Of brant can fly over 100 feet per
second, ranging in speed from 6S
to 80 miles an hour, but usually fiy
at much slower rate.

BILLIONS OF TONS OF
PEAT FUEL AVAILABLE.

The United States contains H.
600 square miles Of unused peat
land, an area more than 10 times
that of Rhode Island, capable of
yielding $4,000, 100000 tons of fuel
at a cost of $3.50 to SIS ton, &C.
cording to comprehensive bulletin
on TIC subject just lssuei By III (.
United States geological survey.
The deposits are on the surface and
lie in the New England, Atlantic
coast and Great Lakes states, most
OF them in the regions remote from
coal mines. This bulletin, which is
RI mcst exhaustive American w. rk
on peat and required two years for
its preparation, points out the loca-
ton of thousands of depositr, own
ed by thousands of farmers and
other land owners.
Fifty million tons of peat is
used annually as fuel in Europe.
Peat is suitable for use as a fertil-
izer and in promoting the intensive
growth of truck crops, both in
greenhouses and in open fields
Manufacturers of commercial fertil-
izers are paying as much as $40 a
ton for good peat. The present
output is about 100000 tons annual

the yearly proceeds from the in

Several of the newspapers estab-
hshed throughout the state by the
Nonpartisan League have gone
bump the past year. The larger
part of these papers were put into
towns in which there were estab-
lished papers of reputation and
these survived the onslaughts of
the price cutters sent in to do them
up-at the expense of the stock
holders. The community Leaguers
were all stockholders and all thought
they were editors. The result was
that assessments were levied in
stead of dividends paid. This was
not in keeping with the promises
made and trouble followed trouble.
There is nothing that will eat up
ready cash quicker than news
paper which is being run as a "get-
even" proposition. Paying out good
money was not on the program and
when assessment followed assess
ment the stockholders baked and
refused to play. Then came the
explosion. No tears are being shed
over the demises.

ness had to depend on to stimulate |
its growth.
1t is very different now. These
summer playground delights, and
these lovely drives, are still excel |
lent publicity agents for themselves,
but they are being supplemented by
the kind of advertising a manufac-
turer or merchant does to expand
his business. Results have been
quick and fattering. The tourist
business in 1922 showed large in
crease over that of 1921.
s Tourist traffic and resort business
in Minnesota are just now acquiring
the status and the momentum to
which they would have attained
years ago if systematic attention
had been given to nurturing them.
With continuance of the present
stimuli-which include publicity,
satisfied customers" and increas-
ingly attractive roadside years to
come are bound to show the ex-
pansion over the present year that
the present year has shown over
is predecessors. There must, how
ever, be no let-down in the adver-
Using of Minnesota's charms to the
world. If there should be such a
lapse, the busiess inevitably will
languish.
An interesting analysis of Min
nesota's tourist trade was printed in
| last Sundays Tribune. Ivan Cope,
secretary of the Ten Thousand
Lakes of Minnesota Association,
after exhaustively sitting all the
evidence at his disposal (the sub
iect is one, naturally which rather
eludes statistics), has arrived at the
conclusion that 100000 persons
spent their vacations in Northern
Minnesota during the summer of
1922, and that, in the aggregate,
they expended not less than $685.
900,
The figures are arresting enough
as they stand, and yet it must be
understood that they are less signifi-
cant as an achievement than as a
promise. Minnesota's tourist travel
is still in its infancy The rate at
which it is growing may be inferred
from the fact that the written in
| quiries jumped from Ait in 1921
to 6,430 in 1922. The popular in
terest in Northern Minnesota is in
creasing at so rapid a pace that
one can only wonder what it will
be in another decade
| Worth thinking about, too, is the
fact that rs per cent of the travel
to the Minnesota lakes came by
motor, while only 25 per cent of it
came by rail. Here, certainly, is
ample vindication of Minnesota's
wisdom in laying out her compre-
hensive road program. The real
summer traveller is clearly the auto
mobihst, and nothing makes so
strong bid for the affections of
the automobiles as good road
We may be confident that tourists
will continue flocking to Minnesota
in greater numbers as the roads i'm
| prove. The British axiom, "Trade
Follows the Flag" may be para
| phrased into a Minnesota axiom.
The Tourist Follows the Road"
The figures set forth by Mr..
Cope afford plenty of reason for
satisfaction with the development
OF our tourist travel. But thew
should only serve to spur Mime
sotans on to renewed efforts. The
main work has already been done
| by Nature; all Minnesotans have to
put on the finishing touches.

deaths, divorce or separation of de-
pendents, should answer all Veteran
Bureau letters promptly, keeping
copy of his reply and signing and
tipping or printing his name in full,
and, should always follow the advice
of the physician responsible for his
treatment. Rather than employ a
private physician, buddies suffering
from sickness or injuries due to
their war service should file claim
with the Veterans Bureau thru any
Legion post, as it is not always pos
sible to secure reimbursement of
such expenditures paid private ply

The continual use of the Forests
for recreation, not only by individ-
uals but by a great variety of or
CARNATIONS, bears testimony to the
general feeling that in addition to
great resource and a need for
conserving it there is also at our
disposal a means of conserving it.
During the past year, a great
variety of organizations have for a
time forgotten their more official
aims and purposes and have sought
release from the routine grind in
the beauty of the National Forests.
Outing and Sportsmen's Clubs natur-
ally find their great opportunity
here, but in addition to these we

There is a growing sentiment in
favor of a nominal tax on gasoline
used by motorists. In the last year
the fame of Minnesota's highway
system has spread over the entire
country, and thousands of tourists
have been attracted from other
states. They enjoy the use of Min
nesota roads, and would willingly
pay a small tax to aid in their
maintenance and upkeep. 1t is re-
garded as certain that the next leg
islature will provide some form of
tax on gasoline consumed.-St
