GREAT FALLS, Mont, June 2e.-
By The Associated Press.eRsfresh-
cd from a day of complete relaxation.
Jack Dempsey today starts the final
work of training before the period of
drying out" for his championship
match with Tommy Gibbons. in the
~sun-baked town of Shelby. July 4.
The champion will resume boxing
in his outdoor ring this afternoon, 60
ing four to six rounos with the light
er sparring partners in his camp.
This will be the schedule until Sum
day, according to Jack Kearns. and
the Earring Dempsey punches which
have been causing pain and conster-
nation in the sparring ranks for the
last three weeks will be playing POS
sum from now until they defend
their owners title in the ring against
ahe st. Paul challenger.
Dempsey is starting his last train
ing period in the best of spirits. The
grouchy. touchy atmosphere which
has usually surrounded tho champion
within this distance of his previous
title bouts is entirely lacking. It is
not lacking because Dempsey is figur-
ing hat Gibbons will not give him
n battle, but always before this,
Dempsey has had something to worry
about. His weight was not right. his
boxing was not asst enough. there
were a dozen real or imaginary diff
ficulties which caused him to worry.

SHIPS GIVEN RIGHT
. TO MEDICAL LIQUOR
Treasury Ruling Permits
British Vessels in italian
Trade Carrying Stock. :

The Treasury has issued regulations
permitting foreign ships to provide
medicinal supplies according to laws
of the country in whose trade the
vessels are operating.
Under these new additional regu-
Iations a British ship engaged ex-
clusively in Italian trade will receive
allowances of intoxicants sufficient to
comply with the laws of Italy. If a
vessels passenger list and cargo come
from several countries, each of which
has laws requiring liquor stores the
general medical supply will be grant
ed and specific provisions of the sew
erai laws Will be met In addition.
The decision resulted. from repre-
sentations made by the owners of the
Cunarder TusCania and the White Star
liner Arabic through the British en-
bassy. Each ship came in conflict
with the laws Of, Italy requiring wine
stores for steerage passengers, and
their owners appealed to this gov
ernment for relief
Public health service doctors, in
passing on the liquor. applications of
the two vessels. apparently had de-
termined to allow only the quantities
prescribed for medicinal uses by Brit
ism law, inasmuch as both were flying
the British flag. The Italiads among
the steerage passengers demanded the
wine which the laws of their home
land said they should have, and the
decision of the Treasury today makes
1t possible for them to have 1t in
the future.

Come hither, festive Peterkin. and

would not rob a train. you would
not steal your neighbor's van-such
crimes give you a pain. And yet
you class yourself with those whose
souls are on the blink; you train
with orders direst foes whene'er
you take a drink. The law forbids
the use of booze and when you
take a horn your place with the
elect you lose, your town you don't

Dew; but you'll meet dozens, every
verst. who are as dry as you. But
they respect the anti law, since it
is on the books, and each one vets
his sizzling craw, with water from
the brooks. "Oh. not for u.s. these
martyrs cry. as they pursue their
way. "the brimming cup of gin or
rye-the statutes we'll obey. We
will not train with outlawed gents,
we'll curb our thirst or bust; we
