CANNED LOVE IS
AVAILABLE 1t
FOOD SHOW
Bride Demonstrates How She
Hopes to Put Kick" Into
Lonely Hours.

Canned love-making is the latest.
1t came to light last night at the NO
tional Food Show and Household Elk
position at Convention Hall, where a
local music store has a display OF re-
producing monograph records.
The originator of this new type or
love-making is a pretty young BRIDE
who is anxious to hear her husband
make love to her while he Is busy at
the office during the day and not
even thinking of her. She confided
her plan in detail to the demonstration.
Here's How To DO 1t.
The reproducing records are blank
monograph discs that enable one to
reproduce ones own voice. The
blank record is put on the machine
and started, and one talks into the
sounding box until the needle has
reached the center of the disc. Then
the record is run again, the voice
| this time being reproduced.
The bride confided that she intends
to have her husband make an impas-
stoned love speech to her and to re-
cord 1t on the disc. Then when she
feels lonesome and blue, she'll simply
start the old talking machine going
and hear honeyed words of love-aIl
directed to her.
In contrast to this plan was the
announced intention OF an elderly
man to can his own funeral Grafton
so that he'd be sure to have things
said at the last rites the way he
wanted them. He explained to the
demonstration that he believed that
i fpV xNeE 49, 49,
lugubriOus, too full Of the spirit of
hopelessness.
To jazz Up Mourners.
Instead of horrifying the mourn
ers with talk about the grave, talk
OF flashes to ashes, dust to dust, y
this innovator explained he would
speak words Of comfort to his sur
vivorS, telling them how they could
assauge their sorrow. He said he
will add a codicil to his will pro-
viding that his Don't be sad" rec.
ord be played at his funeral.
Another novelty at the show is a
air of rooms and makes possible
the saving Of coal. Tests have
demonstrated that moist air at SIS
degrees is more comfortable and
more healthful than dry air at 70
degrees. The use of the hun4fdifier
permits lower, temperatures with
comfort and thus saves coal. It is
nothing more or less than a jar of
water that can be attached to any
radiator or register. The air in
most homes has been found to be
too dry, which condition tends to
increase colds. G@.a
Members of the West Virginia
State Society will be special guests
Of the show today. The Military
Order of the Loyal Legion will at
tend in a body tomorrow.

DEMPSEY WAS POOR PROSPECT
 WHEN HE FIRST ENTERED RING

NEW YORK, June 26.-(By Asso ciated Press.)--Jack Dempsey, world heavyweight boxing champion, who defends his title in 15-round match with Tom Gibbons. of St. Paul, al Shelby, Mont, July 1, was one of the most crude and unpromising fighters of his class when he made his New York bow in 1915 in a no decision contest with John Lester Johnson, negrs.
 Then in his infancy as a fighter and under the managerial wing of John the Barber, Dempsey appeared a sorry prospect for the champion ship. Johnson, also in fighting baby hood, had just recovered from a knockout from San Langford. So they were evenly matched in size and skill and the bout went the limit of ten rounds.
 Each claimed the unofficial deeis- ion. The negro's blows, however were most effective, for a pair of Dempsey's ribs were damaged by body blows. Dempsey at that time proved to be a one-handed battler. His defense was poor and he swung his right instead of shooting it straight
 Among other engagements in his first New York visit Dempsey met Wild Bert Kenny, Andre Anderson, and Dan Ketchell Kenny and An derson stayed the limit of ten rounds each but Kenny fell in the fifth round. Early in 1917, after series of exploits by no means brilliant, Dempsey was knocked out ip one round by Jim Flynn, the Pueblo Fireman. Various reports were cir culated about that fight and later Dempsey redeemed himself by dis posing of Flynn in less than a round.
 While Dempsey's early performance es were mediocre and suggestive of anything but future greatness, he developed into one of the greatest heavyweights in ring history He severed his relations with John the Barber and joined in business deal with Jack Kearns. his present man. ager.
 Dempsey then began to improve his hitting style. Previously he had punched only with his rigft, using the left solely for defense
 Kearns declared that he strapped Dempsey, right arm to his side and instructed him for months ln the use of his left in attack.
 It was with staggering left hooks to the face that Dempsey sent Jess Willard to the floor in the first round of their championship engage ment at Toledo. July 4, 1919 Will lard went to the floor seven times in that round. It was terrific left hook to the stomach that finished Fred Fulton, the Rochester. Minn. plasterer at Harristown. N. J. in the first round. and it was. left hook to the body that started Georges Car pentier to the floor in the great 1921 spectacle at Jersey City
 A left to face or body is Dempseys most frequent blow, yet his right to jaw and ribs is unusually effective He shoots straight to the mark. His blows. well-timed, travel only short distance, the tremendous power of the shoulders being employed in cv- cry launching.
