JESS WILLARD, THOUGH VICTOR OVER FLOYD
JOHNSON. IS NOT WORTHY FOE OF DEMPSEY

Jess Willard was triumphant, but he
failed. His victory, while great and
gratifying to himself and his seri rus
admirers, nevertheless lacked convic-
tiOn-it failed to impress the great
crowd with the qualifications of the
former champion as a rival for Jack
Dempsey, the man who took the title
from Willard four years ago in Toledo
Since Wizards bout with Floyd John
son was arranged fundamentally for
the purpose of showing that the form
er champion had regained formidable
fighting strength. the battle, despite
Wizards decisive triumph, must be &C
cepted as having fallen short of it's
purpose.
Few, if any, in the great crowd
would admit any justification for an
ether match between Willard and
, Dempsey Such bout is not justified
on the ring happenings Of yesterday
Willard in victory, did not show any
qualities which would warrant matcn
Ing him with the present title-holder.
The result must inevitably be n dupli
cation of what now is ring history
with this difference Willard, at the
age of 40 and more, would invite pos
sihlc serious injury.
Willard won, and he upset the age
ole axiom that youth must be served
simply because he enjoyed insur-
mcuntable advantages over smaller
rival who lacked decisive punching
ability. The Johnson who fought Will
lard is of about the same height and
weight of Jack Dempsey but there S
a great difference in the respective
hitting strength of johnson and Demp
sey. This difference must be consider
ed in rating the Comeback" of VIII
laro after four years of ring idleness
and despite advancing age.

Question radiotelefonica
CARTA ALBERTA

San Juan, P. R., MARIO 10, 1928.
Sr. M. Zeno Gambia,
San Juan, P. R.
Distinguido caballero:
/ Pfdole perd6n .si al dirigirme por
primera vez I'd. 10 haga para de-
fenderme de ciertas ideas vertidas por
I'd. en- ell periodico Gel Mundo", cores
pondiente' al Is del mes en- curse v
bajo ell tftulo de "BUENA IDEA LA
DE GEL MUNDO"; para defenderme,
no del ataque directo a mi persona,
pues no tengo ell gusto de conocerle
personalmente, pero 81 por la parte q.
me toca como simple aficionado de
Radio, y por la defensa a la vez de
mis- compaheros de Club.
He leido con profundo interes ell ar
ticulo en- question, Y creame, que en-
su principle recibio I'd. de mi, Zen mi
cerebro, por supuesto) mi mas calu-
rosa felicitacion por los avances que
han obtenido varios amigos y fami-
liares de I'd. oyendo conciertos de es-
taciones lejanas, y la vez lie felici-
to por la informacion, que no deja de
ser muy buena, para levantar ell entu-
siasmo del Radio entire los lectores de
la prensa diaria.
Pero es el case que luego I'd. dice
que Sc necesita una legislation estric-
ia para evitar que los afcionados que
tranitan hagan interferencia moles-
ten los "oidores" de musica. Dis
pense I'd, Sr. Zeno, 81 lie digo que
I'd. esta en- un error, 81 nuestra Le-
gislatura Insular Sc refiere. Ella no
puede hacer NADIA en- este sentido, icon
ell debido respecto a ella misma), de-
bido que ell ramo de RADIO no es
una question local, sino q. esta contro-
lada por ell Departamento de Comercio
de los Estados Unidos, y este Depar-
tamento es al que compete este asun-
to, ese Departamento es ell que regu-
IA las comunicaciones inalambricas.
! Nuestra Legislature no puede hacer
NADIA en- este case.
El Imparcial. (San Juan, P.R.) 1918-197?, 1923-04-18

Pero hay mas, Sr. Zeno, y es que
dice I'd. que los aficionados de Puer-
to Rico todas horas estan molestan-
do con sus chicharras, o trasmisores.
Me parece que Sc equivoca I'd. To-
dos los aficionados (hablo de los que
pertenecen al Porto Rico Radio Club,
Y casi todos pertenecen al mismo) son
personas mas O menos conocedoras de
! la Ley que regula estas comuniciones
y la mayor parte de elos 81 trasmitca
no 10 hacen durante todo ell dfa y la
noche, como dice I'd, sino en- determi-
nadas horas, y ESQ, transmiten aque-
lies aficionados que tienen licencias,
pues los otros no 10 hacen, so pena de
violar nuestros reglamentos y ser ex-
pulsados del Club.
Muchas veces las personals que no
conocen sel alfabeto de radio, y oyen
un vapor trasmitiendo llamando,
seguida dicen que somos los ALTOONA
dos que estamos molestando. Pero
no es asi. Cada persona que posea
un aparato receptor y sepa la clave,
podra comprobar que los aficionados
no molestan, pues la mayor de las We
ces pagan justos por pecadores en- es-
te sentido.
Otra cosa tambien deseo signifcar-
le, Sr. Zeno, Y es que aquellos afcio-
nados que tienen licencias y trasmi-
ten, estan en-. su derecho de hacerlo.
No todos ellos trasmiten, pues conoz-
CO personalmente a muchos de ellos
que teniendo licencia para trasmitir
en- una onda de 200 metros no tienen
trasmisores, y no teniendolo no pue-
den .molestar los Sres. oidores de
lconciertos, al.
Puntualice, Sr. Zeno, y creame cue,
81 oye I'd. alguna chicharraj que este
I'd, seguro que su dueno no esta eXa-
minado, y 81 es miembro nuestro, noso-
tros somos los primeros en- denunciar
a dicho elemento las autoridades
competentes, y 81 I'd, nos ayuda a
clio sabremos agradecerselo, pues
nuestro Club no solamente es obedien-
te a las leyes, sino que desea por to-
dos los medios disponibles a su alcan-
ce, hacerlas respetar y cumplir.
No crea I'd. que me mueve el deseo
de una replica a I'd. por ell nero he
cho de entablar polemica; primero, por
que mis- escasas dotes de escritor, no
me 10 permiten; Y segundo, por el po-
co tempo de q. dispongo para clio, pc
70, solo dirijo la presente con el pro-
posito de aclarar este asunto, y la
vez signifcar que no todas las veces
que Sc oyen estaciones de chispa son
los aficionados que estan interfiriendo.
ST en- alguna cosa puedo serle it'll,
Icreame que. seria un placer para mi
servirle, y con mi mayor estimation,
quedo de I'd, .....

to carry on his tradition. His two
daughters have married ranch en-
ployes-one French and the other
German Madariaga's Latin ant1pathy
to the German son-in-law brings with
it a dislike of his half-German grand
children, but when a son is born to
the Frenchman, Desnoyers, the old
man finds his dream realized. IL he
boy, Julio, is selected as heir to the
huge estate and is brought up as
spoiled prince of the realm. AS a
young man Julio becomes the COM
panion of Madariaga's debauched ad-
ventures in Buenos Ayres tango re-
sorts. But Madariaga dies suddenly
without making a will and the Ger
man branch of the family finds itself
sharing the estate equally with the
Desnoyers. With this sudden wealth
the two families leave the Argentine
for Europe.
The Desnoyers settle in Paris, and
Julio, an expert tango dancer, be-
comes the sensation of the fashionable
dance places. He meets fascinating
little society woman, Marguerite Lau-
rier, and the two of them are swept
into a reckless love affair that takes
no count of Marguerite's elderly hus-
band Their butterfly mentalities do
not even respond at first TO the sud
den shock of war that breaks about
them.
Through it all are galloping the
four horsemen, spoken of by St. John
in the Book of the Apocalypse-the
grim figures of Conquest, War, Fam
inc and Death.
The cast includes Rodolph Valen-
tino and Alice Terry.
The photoplay is by John Seitz, and
the technical direction by Amos My
ers and Joseph Calder. Walter Mayo
was assistant to Rex Ingram.

Drink Water to
Help Wash Out
Kidney Poison
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You, Begin
Taking Salts

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore don't get scared and pro-
coed to load your stomach with lot of
drugs that excite the kidneys and irri-
tate the entire urinary tract. Keep
your kidneys clean like you keep your
bowels clean, by flushing them with a
mild, harmless salts which helps to re-
move the bodys urinous waste and slim
ulates them to their normal activity.
The function of the kidneys is to filter
the blood. In "a hours they strain from
it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we
can readily understand the vital impor-
lance of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of good water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help clean and stimu-
late clogged kidneys; also to neutralize
the acids in the system so they are. no
longer a source of irritation, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not in
lure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink, WHICH everyone
should take now and then to help keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this; also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and back
ache. By all means have your physi-
clan examine your kidneys at least twice
a year,

''The Four Horsemen" Coming to Dawson;
Is the First Million Dollar Photoplay

Rex Migrants $1,000,0OO production
of THE Four Horsemen of the Apo
calypso" made for Metro is ANNOUNCE
ed by the Palace theater for Thursday
and Friday this week. This will be the
first showing here of the screen YER
sion of Cicente Blasco Ibanez's novel
that has been acclaimed in New York,
Chicago, Boston, Pittsburg, Detroit
and Los Angeles as marking a new
epoch in the development of motion
pictures. At its New York opening
people paid $40 seat. Critics said the
picture had definitely established the
screen not only as capable of rivaling
the stage at its best, but of surprising
it in its grip upon the emotions.
"The Four Horsemen" is the SUI
preme expression of the great war.
Certainly no novel has stirred the uni
versal appeal created by the lbanez
masterpiece The book, now in its one
hundred and sixty-sixth edition, has
been read throughout the world. The
monumental task of transferring it to
the screen was accomplished by June
Mathis, who made a scenario that
from all accounts has preserved the
force of the original and in many in
cidents heightened it. But it is the
director, Rex Ingram, who has. ap--
parent1y achieved the most sensational
success. He is reported to have set
new mark in artistry of picturlza-
ton.
Readers of the novel will recall that
the story opens on the Argentine
ranch of old Madariaga, whose terri
tories are as extensive as those Of the
great independent barons of feudal
times. And Madariaga rules with teu-
dial power. A rioting, registering des-
Dot, he is filled with Castilian pride

Taxes Unpaid Since
1864 on Land Decided
To God by Couple
Authorities Have Never Felt Like
Moving Against Property. Prob
able Action Will Be Taken.

WILKESBARRE, PA mighty
peculiar tax tangle exists in Celestla
township, Sullivan county, about 81
miles from here.
Four acres of land in that town
ship was decided to God Almighty by
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter E. Armstrong IN
gratitude for the loving care and
numerous blessings" He had shown
them. :.
Although the deed was recorded IN
1894 and no taxes have been paid on
it in all these years the authorities
have never felt like moving against
such sanctihed property. However, II
is believed that the title to the land
has already automatically passed to
the commonwealth, and some action
NAV be taken shortly it was said.
MIR. and Mrs. Armstrong, III max
inq their unusual bequest, were evil
IDENTIFY actuated by deep and abiding
faith and a genuine gratitude tor the
blessings bestowed on them, accord
ing to the old deed. g
The deed states that being, FULLY
IMPRESSED by the Holy Word that
Gods children should not claim to
hold property of any kind as mdivid-
uals, but that they should conssecrate
unto God all things, the land IS mere
Nv given to God to be redeemed at
the second coming of Christ, e.,
The four acres thus decided IS said
to have been the entire extent OF the
property of Mr.. and Mrs. Armstrong

Negroes Leaving South
For Northern Industries
South Carolina With Larger White
Population First Time in Century.

COLUMBIA, S. C.-With the
coming of warm weather migration OF
negroes from South Carolina to points
in the northern industrial area has
grown to considerable proportions, al
though probably not as heavy as a
year ago, according to reports. gather
ed here today by the Columbia State.
The reports from sections of the
state where the heaviest exodus oc-
Cured year ago say that many ne
groes who were badly discouraged
several months ago because of the raw
ages of the boil weevil are becoming
convinced that they have good
chance to control the pest, and are
deciding to remain on the farms
The movement the reports say, IS
regarded generally as an economic
one. the sections suffering most from
the boil weevil experiencing the heav-
lest emigration. The State, comment
ing on the situation, says that 1T is
general accepted as fact that at the
present time the whites outnumber the
negroes in South Carolina. This con-
dition has not existed heretofore in
perhaps a century. 1t was brought
about largely by the migration of the
negro from the state.

FARMERS WIVES
ARE NO DRUDGES
MODERN HOUSEHOLD EQUIP
MENT BRINGS EASE AND
CONFINEMENT.

The picture of the farmers wife as
a drudge, old and worn, and full OF
resentment over her hardships and iso-
lation, is a thing of the past. She no
longer looks with wistful eyes upon
the comparative freedom of her city
sister.
The family automobile, m n
kitchen equipment and appliances, ru-
raj free delivery, talking machines
which bring opera music to the home,
canning clubs and accessibility to So
cial life in towns, formerly remote and
inaccessible, have not only transform
ed her life, but created a decided pref
erence for the farm over the city lie.
Girls Like Farm Life.
Out of 1000 farmers wives over ga
per cent have recently voted for farm
life In answer to a recent query, did
YOU want your daughter to marry a
farmer?" speaking from their own
farm experiences, $3.50 women have
voted yes" Less than 6 per cent an
swered mo-" according to report
on contest returns just announced by
The Farmers Wife, a journal pub
lished in Minnesota.
1.-The woman who is a drudge on a
farm will be drudge wherever you
put her." comments Mrs. R. c. w
of Jasper county, Missouri. 1T is lack
of management, lack of order and lack
of backbone and brains that make
drudgery."
From a Marion county (Ohio) farm
Mrs. c. D. D., commenting on the So
called statistics on farm women's men
tai breakdowns due to isolation and
loneliness, says: Let me tell you the
woman who can't keep her mind well
balanced and happily busy on farm
would probably be an entirely useless
member of society no matter where
she lived. OF all places the farm and
its work are the most fascinating.
Enjoys Husbands Companionship.
One of the most frequent reasons
cited for their contentment on the
farm is the partnership and compan-
ionship of their husbands. While one
woman on a Dukes county farm in
Massachusetts, tersely sums up the
matrimonial aspect on the farm as:
when you marry farmer your hus-
band is your own" Others express
themselves at length.
"A farmer is not so apt to become
meal, clothing and shelter ticket for
the wife, nor is she to become just
cook and housekeeper," says Mrs. H.
M. c., of South Dakota. 'An import
ant advantage of farm life is that il
makes it easier for the wives and
husbands interests to be the same.
Everything is done at home instead OF
outside the home"

LADY BOUNTIFUL"
is SLAIN BY MATE
BENEFACTRESS OF A CITY'S
POOR HAD AN UNHAPPY
LIFE AT HOME.

For eleven years little white-hair-
ed woman listened to the tales of woe
and sorrow of the people OF Chicago.
She was attached to the welfare SER
vice of the county, and never once
did she fail to lend a sympathetic ear
to the troubles of the destitute who
came for aid.
But her home life was not so cheer
full, There she was unable to dispel
the gloom clouds, and the other day
when her son, Charles Wallace, came
home from work he found her body
lying across the bed. By her side lay
her husband, a revolver in his hand.
The tragedy was the elimination of
unhappiness incurred in her second
marriage, according to a story in the
Chicago Herald and Examiner.
Home Not Happy.
The little woman, known as Moth
er Wallace" to the county's charity
patients. was Mrs. Charles NJ Cook.
Her husband was reputed to be worth
$125,000 and was brother OF William
c. Cook, one of the vice presidents OF
the Central Trust Company of Hi
nois. He had been an employee OF the
Erie railway for forty years.
There was a strange antithesis be-
tween Mrs. Cooks home and working
life
At the office she was known as
"Mother" and Lady Bountiful." New
er once did she fail at least to attempt
to find aid for her many applicants.
She listened to sordid confessions, she
helped widowed mothers and she
found homes for founding children.
Was Land Poor.
At home she was housekeeper. Her
husband had invested all his earnings
in land and was "land poor" He was
unable to pay the taxes and took his
wife's earnings to increase his hold
ings. There were frequent quarrels
over money and Mrs. Cook had
threatened to get divorce. It was this
threat that is said to have led to the
tragedy.
