FIRPO AND WILLARD
 DIFFERENT TYPES One FerociOus and Quick, Othe|
 Slow But Determined
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 New York, July 1.-Two of thf most widely divergent types the prizi ring has ever known will swing int action with both fists flying tomorl row night at Boyle's 30 Acres wheri Jess Willard and Luis Angel Firpi will seek the right to become chal lenger for Jack Dempsey's title
 Both are terrific punchers and pos sessors of remarkable stamina bu there the similarity between thes' two f1stic mastadons ends. Firpo, 2 dark browed silent son of the ArgenI tine, is a natural fighter, a rushing savage battler who has known nt barrier to an attack that has swep him in year to pugilistic heights.
 Willard, slower afoot and at timei sluggish Tn his ring actions fights de liberately and chiefly on the defenI sive, unless he is aroused to suddeI action or sees a chance to whip ovel an uppercut that carries devastating force.
 Firpo has the advantage of youth he Is 28 and Willard is around 40 He is faster and can attack at more angles. But to offset this the tower ing Kansas will have 25 to 30 poundl advantage in weight, nearly f1vf inches in height and five inches 1T reach.
 If experts have "doped" the bou correctly. 1t will be a battle between willards early defensive, powers against Firpo's rushes for the firs' few rounds and if the fight goe' longer, a toss-up as to whether Willard uppercut or one of Firpo'i sledge hammer thrusts with his right turns the tide of battle.
 Today will be one of comparative rest for the two boxers. Their ardu' ous training over both men plan only enough exercise to keep them 1T fighting trim.
 Early today Promoter Tex Rickare had prospects of a sell-out of all re- served seats numbering around 5o,00( if the rate of demand increases in the proportion it has during the last few days. The $400,000 mark in receipts was in sight when the sale opened this morning at Madison Square Gar. den.'

Both Have Punch

By The Associated Press.
 New York, July 11.-Ample proof of the terrific punch possessed by both Jess Willard and Luis Firpo, rival gladiators who fight at Boyle's Thirty Acres tomorrow night is shown by their respective records.
 Firpo in his meteoric rise to pugil- istic prominence has compiled a more impressive record but his opponents have included only one of the first class calibre-Bill Brennan.
 Nevertheless he has knocked out 1 a of the 22 boxers he has faced since 1921 when he started professional fighting.

RESERVES IN THE WRONG
 PLACES

For several years there has been a proposition before congress for the creation of bird sanctuaries, Or re serves. to be established under the auspices of the Federal Government in the several states. The idea has found support among many influential per sons conseTvationists, sportsmen, na- turalists and others. On December 5th a bill establishing these refuges was reached on the House calendar. Rep resentative Mondell, Republican floor leader of the House, announced that 1t would not be considered, and when asked why by Representative Anthony sponsor of the bill, responded that some of the members did not think 1t wise. MT. Anthony replied that he did not think the House would bow to the gentleman from Wyoming, even if he was the floor leader" "Oh, vel" retorted M-. Mondell, ''I'd just as soon take the bill up today and kill it as not" And the member from Kansas did not insist.
 MT. Anthony was unfortunate in the localities selected for the proposed game reserves. If he had just cut out all reference to every other section of the country except Alaska and clut- tered up the landscape of the Terri tory with a dozen or more bird reserv- es the bill would probably be in the hands of the Senate now instead of having been passed over on the House program. Proponents of the plan made a serious mistake in their selection of sites for the sanctuaries.-Ex.

to facilitate action on all matters re- quiring attention. There is no reason why such body composed of capable, intelligent, far-sighted men and not made a home for flame ducks" should not successfully function in bringing about a co-ordinated Federal policy.
 As far as it goes the plan is worth considering. From purely Federal government standpoint it is very near ideal. But if that is as far as the Federal government should go in Alaskan policy, it will fall far short of satisfying the people of the Territory. Like the Lane-Curry program. unless it is accompanied by rewriting of the Alaska Organic Act it will not accom- plish great deal toward allaying criticism in the North. The senti- ment of Alaskans is overwhelmingly for a much greater measure of local self-goyernment and minimum of in terferenoe from outside sources. III this respect they are not demanding more than former territories have had nor asking for anything that is not thoroughly in accord with the estab- lished principles of self-government, as eXemplified in the several compo- nent parts of the Federal unions to- day.
 Mir. Rogers Alaska cabinet IS an idea to be seriously studied but he has not yet touched the bottom Of most of Alaska's troubles, which is the arrogation to the national govern ment of power and authority that should be bestowed on the people of the territory themselves.

HOME PROBLEMS FIRST.

Outstanding in President Harding's address to congress was the sugges- tion that Americas problems today are primarily home problems. In stead of going afiield, wearing coat labeled internationalism, the presi- dent prefers to remain on American soil wrestling with the domestic is sues which are calling for solution. and which can be solved only by bringing to them the thought that we must set our own house in order be- fore mixing in the foreign muddle.
 And yet, as MT. Harding says, We are cognizant of the worlds struggles for world adjustment and rehabilita- ton and we have shirked no duty which comes of sympathy and frater- nity, or highest fellowship among na- tions," for every obligation consonent with American ideals and sanctioned under our form of government is will ingly met" We have contributed our 'larger influence" by trying to minimize the chances of war in bring ing the leading powers together to consider a program for armament linn itation, and our national voice has been heard in the interests of our selves and of humanity in some of the European crises.
 Popularly, perhaps, the subject of law enforcement, particularly as re- lating to the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act, which was dealt with by the president, will attract far greater attention than any other. MT. Harding was outspoken on this issue, and it is evident that he is preparing to throw the whole weight of the gov ernment behind the enforcement Of the prohibition laws-either to give them the dignity of enforcement or to force their repeal olr modification, ac- cording to the popular verdict.
 Although it is a law of the land the eighteenth amendment in the manner of acceptance savers of a national scandal. The president gives joy to the drys and fear to the vets by say ing un1eservedly that the law will be enforced, but men of less optimistic minds can hardly see how this can be brought about, at least in our genera tion
 The topics of immigration and child labor are touched upon feaTlessly and to the satisfaction of all concerned. It is a message full of meat, and one with unlimited optimism and good cheer.

Perhaps no one thing will be of as great benefit to Seward as the erection of large oil tanks in the city by the Standard Oil Company. Leaving out the economic benefits to be derived from such move, the moral tone lent to the city is very great. The Stand ard Oil Company must see future ahead of a town before it invests in extensive holdings in it; and the fact that they contemplate this investment after due investigation and deliberate consideration indicates that Seward is on the upgrade and not declining.

ROGERS PLAN INTERESTING
(The Juneau Empire)

We agree with Sherman Rogers Shat the adoption of road construc- ton program and the appropriation of sufficient funds to guarantee the build ing of roads and trails in Alaska on wholesale scale is the means by which the greatest advancement could be made toward the development of the Territory. It further agrees with him that the building of roads and trails is of paramount importance, trans cending any other one thing, or all of the other legislative acts, now asked for as aids for the Territory. If Con- gress were to say that it would do but one thing for Alaska of the many ask ed, the construction of roads and of trails would be worth more than every thing else combined. We believe there is general agreement on this within the Territory.
 MT. Rogers put the road needs first. The second essential thing he pointed out as. being vital in any development is the standardization IN ALASKA of all Federal administrative authority. The idea he has suggested is not strik jnglv new fundamentally but it does contain novel features. He finds no necessity for the concentration of all Federal bureaus in Alaska into sin gle department in order to bring about this amalgamation. His Alaska cabinet" is not greatly different from the LaneCurry Development Board idea which was harshly condemned by certain of the conservationist ele- ment And he proposes to give it far greater power than was suggested for the development board in that the sug- gested cabinet would be the court of last resort, it's decisions final with out right of appeal to the heads of the several executive departments concerned. The cabinets would be composed of the governor, as chair man, and special assistant secretaries appointed by the Departments of Ag- riculture, Interior, Commerce and Post office, residing continuously in Alaska and holding frequent sessions

BUSINESS CONDITIONS

Roger Babson has shown why he believes any apparent sluggishness is but temporary affair and to have been expected at this season just past. Now comes Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, who is not an habitual op- timist to say the least, and corrobor- ates Babson by indicating that despite the lulls that have been seen in some industries the last few weeks he sees no reason to believe that the wave of business prosperity will slacken more than temporarily, He, too, says these reductions in business activities were to be expected.
 The final witness at the moment is the majority of the directorate of the National Association of Credit men. Its opinion is stated to be that Amer iean business is entering a period of increasing prosperity. To go into de- tails 10 of the directors reported that general business in their sections Is improving; six directors saw no ad- vance in business activity and only three reported that it is declining. Of course there would be three pessimists out of 31 directors.
 There is nothing the matter with the business outlook as seen by these experts-whieh is most satisfying.

armE nEsr CONVENTION

An overseas American Legion ma who came here to the state convention Of that organization last week. writes to this newspaper in a communication published yesterday. that "It was the best convention Of the Connecticut department Of the Legion ever held and the purpose of his letter is mainly 10 thank the young women from the factories, stores, etc. who entertain ed us so wonderfully at the two Armory dances" He thanks others. too, who had anything to do with the convention and who helped make the affair such success.
 With words of delicate compliment. holding a touch of fine frankness, the writer or the communication closes with thanks to all, especially to all the young women who were French in costume but real true Americans in manners and hospitality"
 We like that way of putting it. "real, true Americans in manners and hospitality" The expression is a com- pliment indeed to our New Britain girls coming from one who probably has reason to know true American womanhood as shown in the lives and courage and strength combined with gentleness of the women who also crossed the seas from this country, not to bear arms, but to soothe the pain of those who fought and to surround our wounded with an atmosphere of home.
 The New Britain young women de- serve this compliment and we are glad that it has been paid them. This newspaper is glad to give publicity to the praise, not because it will fiatter the recipients, but rather because this emphasizing of the appreciation of true Americansm" of girls of today is rare indeed.

SHUTTLE MEADOWS NAME.
Timlow's sketches of southington h
 1875 Called It "ShekeI Meadow"

Timlow's Sketches of Southington ii,
 1875 Called It "Shekel Meadow" Editor of The Herald:
 "The Shuttle Meadow club and it's visitors together with all persons in this city who drink water may be in- terested in the following article on that name as taken from Timlow's Sketches of Southington; page 414.
 Shuttle Meadow-this name I find a hundred years ago sometimes writ ten Shekel Meadow. But from two or three points of sight the valley is in shape precisely like a weaver's shuttle and hence probably the name. And all the more apparent the like ness when the woods on either side extended to it's edge. As the meadow is now converted into an artificial lake (supplying New Britain with water), the resemblance is less likely to impress the beholder. but old peo- pie remember when it's form very naturally suggested the name"
 ~Timlow's work was published in 1875. It thus appears that the name is now about f5o years old.
