Coffroth, promoter of San Diego, Cal,
today announced he had offered Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight champion, one
million dollars for three fights to take
place during 1928, against opponents
to be selected later. Coffroth said
Dempsey's opponents probably would

fused to say where the bouts will be
held. He has just returned from
Mexico City.
Coffroth also made Benny Leonard
a substantial offer for his services.

WRAPPING APPLES I'm PAPER
Oiled Covering Found to Prevent
Scald, 4 Cause OF Big Loss In
Storage and Shipping.

(prspared By tho United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Wrapping apples in oiled paper has
been found to prevent apple scald, a
cause Of heavy loss during storage and
transportation. As q result Of investi-
CATION by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, great many Of
the fancy packed apples are likely to
go out next year in oiled instead Of
plain wrappers.
Scald, department specialists have
discovered, is caused by gases given
of by the apples themselves. The
gases contribute to the flavor Of the
apple and recently were segregated
and identified by department chemists
who even went 50 far as to build up
synthetic apple odor from chemicals
obtained from outside sources. Pend

Of the bureau Of plant industry have

in Ramsey's strange but not uncom-

Mr.. Milholland turned from his mir

there was such dumb agony Of inter-

startled.

His tone was meek, but mute dis.

fathers mind disturbing suspicious,

SIR"
Mr.. Milholland shook his head doubt
fully; then, as his son walked slowly
out Of the room, he turned to complete
his toilet in a somewhat uneasy frame
Of mind. Ramsey had undoubtedly
wanted to say something to him and
the boys expression had shown that
the matter in question was serious,
distressing, and, 1t might be, critical.
In fact it was-to Ramsey. Having
begun within only the last few hours
to regard haberdashery as Of vital i'm
portance, and believing his father to
be possessed Of the experience and au-
, thority lacking in himself, Ramsey had
come to get him to settle question
which had been upsetting him badly,
in his own room, since breakfast. What
he wanted to know was: Whether 1t
was right to wear an extra handker-
chief showing out Of the coat breast
pocket or not, and, II it was right
ought the handkerchief to have col
ored border Or to be plain white? But
he had never before brought any such
perplexities to his father, and found
himself too difiident to set them forth.
However, when he left the house
a few minutes later, he boldly showed
an inch Of purple border above the
pocket; then, as he saw himself about
to encounter several old lady pedes-
trians, he blushed and thrust the hand
