SPORTS ANTIDOTE FOR.
B0LsHEVSM, IT ALA N
MOTOR MAKER Says
By CAMILLE
UNITED Press Correspondent)

ROME.-(By Mail TO United Press.)
Vincenzo Lancla. the developer of
the present motorour of hat name.
has Just announced that experience
has convinced him thai sports and
athletics in general are the best
antidote to bolshevism and radical
ism. He says hat sporting organl-
zations are the best means for hold
ing together the crews OF the mod
ern large Industrial plants.
1T was after I read in the papers
what sporting clubs were doing for
some Of the large English. French
and American Industries that I
started to encourage sports among
the men working in my factories
Lancia said. "The sporting period
icals of tho country Tent me their
most cordial cooperation. and in
less than two years three of TURNS
largest employers of labor came to
the same conclusions. Today the
Michelin rubber tire plant and the
Flat automobile works, to say moth
ing of large number of smaller
plants, all have built gymnasiums,
where their men spend the evening
training for matches between the
teams OF the different organizations.
"The idea was to take tho men
away from the wine shops. where
they gambled their earnings, and
red" clubs. where they listened to
the demhgoguea who were constant
ly preaching socialism.
THE Fiat organization includes a
football club which. though less
than two years old. has to it's credit
a number of victories. The Fiat
has q campus 80 large that several
hundred acres are devoted to truck
gardens. cultivated by the men
themselves. who divide tho products.
Tho campus includes two tennis
courts and n velodrome.
The gymnasiums include baths,
reading rooms and billiard rooms.
Senator Agnelli, director of tho Fiat
works. has Just organized a club OF
alpinists. and this summer many
olpine peaks will be scaled.
we have also found Lancia
said. that athletics greatly benefits
u men physically, and that in turn
benefits production. My personal
opinion is that the money spent for
cups and gold medals to be contest
ed for by the sporting clubs OF the
Industrial plants. is n of the host
paying investment that n ~far-seeing
employer OF labor can make"

bout. The warriors will be watched
by a crowd of more than 10000 Der.

the way from Buenos Aires to see
the meeting.
More than i .ooo.o 900 will have

Many others think differently.
Firpo faces his ordeal without the

says the challenger.
Psychology may play an important

Firpo says he is not afraid. He has
been hailed by his countrymen as
the man of destiny" His fellows
of the latin race are counting on
him. He knows the great acclaim
that will be his should he win the
championship. Firpo will fight;
everyone admits that, and those who
say he will win are basing their pre-

CERTAIN RULES OUTLINED

Directions for constructing a built

sible fire risk. have just been issued
by the building code committee Of the
Department of Commerce
According to Ira H. Woolson, chair
man of the committee, "a built -in-ga-
rage, if not properly constructed, is
menace TO life and property. Our
Investigations showed that if q fire
does start in single or two-car ga
rage, 1t is. not likely to be more Sc
we're than would be withstood by the
construction classed as affording one

standards of the Commerce Depart
ment the Fire Underwriters Labora-
tories. and other authorities. 1t fol-
lows that with an incombustible floor,
ana the garage separated from the
rest OF the building by unpierced par
ttions and ceiling that will meet the
onc-hour fire test, there is no unrea-
sonable fire hazard OF course. the
outside walls must be fire resistant,

strongly advise that there shall be
no opening whatever between the
TWO. 1t is much safer to enter the
garage fyom the outside"
Outlines Certain Rules.
The building code as drawn up by
the committee outlines certain rules
to follow in constructing a built-in
garage. For the sake of motorists
and builders, Mr.. Woolson has simpli-
fed the wording Of these rules in
order TO make them more easily
understood. The rules arc here ar
ranged by Mr.. WoolSon from the
ground up" starting with floor con-
struction. walls and partitions, then
outside doors and windows and deal

of a door directly between the garage
and the dwelling.

HOLD GROCER
AND ESCAPE
IN AUTO
Two CoIored Men Take $461
at Pistol Point-one Smiles
"Cood-by."
TIMES sTAFF pHoTo

Two negroes early this morning
perpetrated a bold hold-up and ROD
berry at 1922 Florida avenue north
east and made their escape with
$481 In bills, while the victim stood
speechless from fright as the result
of a threat to kill him If he should
make an outcry.
Five minutes after the police OF
the Ninth precinct and detective
headquarters had been notified OF
the affair a score of policemen and
detectives were busy attempting to
trail the desperadoes.
Arrive in Big Auto.
Samuel Rosin, grocer, had opened
his store at 1922 Florida avenue at
o'clock. Five minutes later two
young negroes, apparently about
twenty-five or twenty.three years
old, stopped their big touring car IN
front of the store and walked in.
One of the pair stood at the door
way apparently waiting for his
companion to make q purchase. The
latter fumbled with his pocket a
moment and then drew out a small
coin.
Gimme a pack Of smokes, he
said.
Rosin turned his back to set the
cigarettes and when he turned
around again he found himself
facing a gun. In a steady voice
the negro told him to 'shut up and
keep that way" and while Rosin,
his hands perpendicular in the air,
stood by terror stricken, the negro
ieisurely walked behind the counter,
punched the cash register and took
all its contents.
Smiles GOOd-By.
Stuffing the bills into his pocket
he beamed pleasant smile at the
grocer. AS he went out of the
door he threatened to return and
shoot his victim If he heard his cry
out. The pair then jumped into
their machine and escaped.
