 The Director said he had made it his purpose ''to see to it that all dis abled men have the proper care and sympathetic treatment that they are entitled to. and a great deal more, and if you will follow the good that has been done, the result of honest endeavor and application, I am sure you can find something to say other than the continual condemnation of the Veterans Bureau
 Tn examining applicants for posi- tions in the bureau, he declared that though "one of the first questions I ask is whether or not the man is Q former service man." he did not re- gard it as his duty to appoint every former service man who applies for a position" and that he must obey certain civil service rules.

DEMPSEY CHALLENGE

NEW YORK. Jan. 10 Omitted
Press Tommy Gibbons notified
the New York Boxing Commission
today with an official challenge and
a certified check for S25OO. that he
wants to meet Jack Dempsey for
the heavyweight championship.
1t is the way OF the rules to get
action out OF champion. The
books say that a title holder must
accept a challenge within sixty
days. The rules. however, do not
always work az Harry Wills still
has very formal looking challenge
in the commissions hands
Gibbons is confident that he will
beat Floyd Johnson in Madison
Square when they get together in
March and he wants to be in a
position then to have Dempsey
ready to talk with him then.
There seemed to be little ques-
tion that the winner OF the Glib
bons-Johnson bout will get to
Dempsey eventually.
Tex Richard plans to put Gibbons
on early in the summer with Demp-
sey il he wins. but If johnson wins.
Tex may have to match him up
with another bout, perhaps with
LUIS Firpo.

Action by the Public Service Com

fact that the Board OF Public Util-

powerless to act similarly should
occasion arise here
John c. Foote. president Of the
Utility Board. said he was Of the
opinion that ii had no authority to
do more than investigate operating
costs of utility corporations and
AK rates for sale Of their service.
Il am heartily in favor OF the
organization by the state Legislature
OF a State Utilities or Public service
commission which would take over
the powers now held by the VIII

Foote, Il believe however that
should such a state commission be
formed 1t should have more powers
than those now delegated to our
city board
Formation OF a state wide utility
commission already is under discus

volunteered to appear as witness
before the Legislature. or legisla-

on the question. As at present con
stituted the Wilmington Utility Com
