Westerners Are
Greatest Readers
Of US. Magazines
by United Press Leased Wire

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 1o.-For
all its many colleges, universities
and libraries, the so-caIled effect
East falls SADLY behind the West,
if quantity of magazine reading is
any indicator.
a survey made by Ward G.. Reed
er, assistant professor in the depart
ment of school administration, Ohio
State University, shows that the
people of California lead the nation
in the consumption of magazine
reading matter. The survey was
based % the circulation figures Of
the 10 magazines having the largest
circulation. It shows that Califor-
mans read about six times as much
as Mississippians: who bring up the
rear.
1t is 4 curious fact that based up
on the combined circulation of these
ma gaines in each state contrdstcd
with the population. eight Western
states place among the first 10. Only
Connecticut and Massachusetts are
three to represent the East, where
most of the magazines are printed,
Ohio. the next Eastern state, ranks
eleventh.
In similar fashion most of the
Southern states are TO be found at
the bottom of the list. OF the last
II in the list only two are north
of the Mason and Dixon line.
Based upon the proportion Of the
readers of those magazines to the
population, he points out, that the Pa
cifie states California, Washington
and Oregon outclass al other groups
by large percentage. He also says
that the ranking of the states on
reading as shown by the survey is

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,

remaining until he defends his title
against Luis Angel Firpo, the South
American giant, Jack Dempsey said
today he was "ready to GO
I'm satisfied with myself and

ed how he felt after reaching the
final stages of his training.
Dempsey, never endangered i'll
the past by over-confidenee, is not
making any mistake this time.
Regardless of what is being
said about Firpo, l know he is 60
ing to put up hard fight. He is
big and strong and he can hit, and
any big, strong fellow is dangerous
as long as he is standing Dempsey
said.
Dempsey admits that he might not
be as good as when he won the

TANNING WITH FARRELL
BY HENRY L. FARRELL. Omitted Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Luis An
gel Firpo was guilty of two great
mistakes in making the arrange
ments leading up to his fight with
Jack Dempsey for the world s
heavyweight championship, in the
opinion OF many good judges.
Firpo should have waited another
year before accepting match with
the champion and, instead of dis
pensing with the services of jim
my DeForest, he should have given
himself over entirely to the man
who made Dempsey the champion,
it was pointed out.
Firpo knows as much right now
rs he ever viii know, and he is just
as good now as he ever viii be. He
has the brain to profit by compe-
ient instruction, but he hasn t the
he temperament to improve him
self by such.

DISCOVER UTOPIA
In SOUTH AMERICA

LONDON, September 10.-Utopia
is a fact in South American Guiana,
Here is what L. C. Vine, who is
resting after explorations in Guiana
saws of th:s little known land:
Diamonds are to be had by
scratching the surface of the earth
and picking them up, The natives
obtain them this way and trade the
uncut Jewels to Georgetown mer-
chants for food.
Oil in untold quantities lies under
much of the area Of Guiana.
Gold is abundant.
The country is uneXploited. Vine
travelled paths never before seen
by white men. ct
Clothes are of no account i'll so
warm country. Natives are con-
tent with feathcred cap. For full
dress they wear the same cap with
more feathers.
The only predatory animal of any
size is the jaguar, which will not
attack man unicsS cornered.
The natives are of various degrees
of civilization, but their friendship
for white visitors is uniform.

working with Firpo he tried above
everything else to teach the South
American to use his left hand, to
hit straight with his right hand, and
to educate him in some of the fun
damentals of defensive boxing.
Firpo showed results in the gym
nasium when he was training for
his fight with Bill Brennan, and
when he was working to get ready
for his bout with Jess Willard he
really looked like he was learning
something.
Everything he learned and ex-
hibited in the gymnasium was lost
when he went into the ring with
Willard. When he was hurt he for
got everything but his killing in
stinct. He dropped his left hand
at his side and tore in, swinging his
right arm like a huge club. He
forgot to box or try to defend
himself. He Just fought like a
maniac, and he won.

Rag Picker Dies
When Told of
Fortune

a brief story comes from Paris
which furnishes material for thought
1t concerns a ragpicker with three
cbiidren, all trained TO follow hls
trade. They received word that
the father had faien heir to con
siderable fortuue, left to him by a
forgotten cousin who had died in
Nice.
The ragpieker could not believe
the news, so he journeyed 10 Nice
to verify il. An attorney showed
him the proofs and convinced him
that he really possessed wealth
amounting 10 several million francs.
And the rGgpicker dropped dead of
heart failure in the lawyer's 3 office.
So now some one else Is heir to
the money. And perhaps Francois,
