GREB'S ACCEPTANCE
PROBABLY TOOK AWAY
]. WILSON'S BREATH
Harry Hardly Expected to
Agree on Middleweight
Go so Quickly.
BY FAIRPLAY.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, April 13.-Wonder il
Johnny Wilson is surprised at Harry
Greb's prompt acceptance of Rick
ards suggestion that he meet the
champion for the title? Probably
both surprised and panied.
The idea seemed to be that Harry
was averse to training down to the
middleweight limit, but everyone who
knows him well knows that he never
fought at more than pound or two
above. if that. At the same time,
Greb has always favored meeting big
man as against an opponent his own
size or smaller and in his battles he
has always had easier going against
the big fellows.
For instance, he has always had a
lot of trouble with Jeff Smith and
when the two meet in Atlanta this
summer, the Dixie fans can set them
selves for humdinger. Greb is now
at Hot Springs and will be ready for
Wilson within two months
Fred Fulton is an example OF what
the turn of fate may do. Regarded
everywhere as through. chiefly as a
result of his quick knockout by Harry
Wills and the miserable exhibition he
made against BARLEY Madden, he has
leaped into the limelight because of
Muldoon's objection to his meeting
Floyd Johnson in New Jersey. Fred's
new fame is due to the feeling of
Muldoon that he might beat johnson
and thus ruin the proposed Willard
Johnson Milk Fund bout next month.
Few fighters have come back so
easily and painlessly as that. Null
doom, by the way. cannot have a very
high opinion of Floyd johnson.

TEMPERED WITHMERCY
Man Who Faced Jail Sentence Aided
by Court and Jury.

Called before the bar of justice with
the prospect of receiving six months in
the Bexar county Jail, human dere-
lict Monday was sent forth with re-
newed courage. brighter outlook Gu
life and sufficient money TO care for
his needs until he can get work. Ihe
fact that the man is member of u
distinguished North Texas family and
that his father was ono. state APP
pOintee and close friend of Il foIe
mer governor, worked the miracle. "
The man was charged in the Bexar
county criminal court with theft un.
der $50. A member of the grand jury
who is interested in the eradication OF
the narcotic evid, recommended to the
court that the man be given six motHhs
in Jail in order that he might Dc
cured of q drug habit. 1t developed,
however, that the man had recently
taken the cure in q Louisiana town
and for certain reasons it would be i'm
practicable to confine him in Jail for
six months.
1t. was then that he revealed his
family connections, although admitting
that he has bo,n dead to his family
for many years. Judge Nelson Lyle
dismissed the case and he, with the
member of the grand jury. assistant
county attorney and clerk of the court

OF its field work in Tushetu province
of Mongolia.
They found what had been predicted

rockG near the Altai mountains the
party discovered perfect skeletons of
the Aratopsian dinosaurs. One skele-
ton was found few inches in the
rock above where lay nest of nine
eggs.
The eggs. believed to be the first

SOUTHWEST TEXAS
METHODISTS WILL
MEET AT GONZALES
Sixty-ffth Annual Gather.
ing to Be Held in His
toric Little. Town.

Gonzales, Tex, Oct. 23.-The sixty.
fifth annual conference of the West
Texas Methodist Conference will con.
vene at Gonzales Wednesday, October
"a with Bishop James L. Dickey pre-
siding. This will be the seventh time
that Gonzales has been honorcd by hav-
ing the conference held in this city.
The members of the West Texas
conference are much interested over
the prospect of meeting in Gonzales, :
pecially because of her historic sig
nificance,s both from standpoint Of
state and church.
The first sermon ever preached in
Gonzales was by Rev. Mr.. Williams
to the volunteers who ere defending
the country from the advancing army
of Santa Anna in 1896. Mr.. Williams
stood on a plank resting on two can.
non pointing toward Mexico, Just be-
fore the first battle.
John Wesley Devilbiss was the first
regularly appointed preacher at Con
zales. The Rev. Mr.. DeVilbiss' work
in 1914 embraced the whole of Texas,
west of Gonzales. with San Antonio
as monthly appointment. He or.
ganized the Church of Gonzales UNI
der a liveoak tree in 1874; later the
same year he organized the First
Church of San Antonio.
There seems to be no doubt in the
mind of the historian of the West
Texas conference that Gonzales is the
mother church of all Southwest Texas.
Preliminary to the formal opening
of the conference on Wednesday morn
ing a special service will be held at
the church Tuesday night when a ser
mon. to the brotherhood will be de-
livered by Rev. w. l.. Barr, pastor
of the Yoakum Methodist Church.
The session will run through next
Siinday.

LOVE CULT EXPONENT BAD
 HUSBAND, SAYS GIRL WIFE

DETROIT, Jan. 12. Albert ". Ryerson, head of the mysterious love cut 70. T. O." was failure as a lover, his eighteen-year-old wife, Mabel, art ists' model, declares.
 Mrs. Ryerson. known as the Queen of the Chalet d'Arts" an artists es- tablishment, is suing for divorce. She is .Ryersons second wife.
 "He asked me to marry him on 30 days trial,' Mrs. Ryerson said. "He agreed that if he could not make me love him at the end of that time I should go free When he saw that he was not making headway with his love-making he tried caveman tactics. He beat me severely on several occa. sions. I was able to drag through 29 of the 30 days, and then I left him"
 Mrs. Ryerson said she frequently poses before the artists of the Scarab Club.
 The case draws into the limelight once more the man who, as head of the Universal Book Store, Inc, fig ured in a suit to determine whether the corporations money were being used illegally for the promotion of the love cult. During this court action the Equinox" mysterious and reveal ing ritual of the cult, was brought to light, creating a sensation among hun dreds of Detroit families.
 Mrs. Ryerson says she married Ry- erson, despite the discrepancy in their ages, because he placed her in con- promising positions in front of ser wants and guests, after he had begged her to wed him for some months. She says she was introduced into Ryer- sons home by her father, brother

PUBLICITY SHOULD BE GIVEN LAWS

In tEo state of Washington when any meas ures are to be voted on by the electors they are printed in pamphlet form and mailed to each voter. But it is claimed now by some of the state officials that the better way would be to make publication through the newspapers. This is not urged as an economy measure, as Secretary of State Hnkle says: 'I do not believe that this would reduce the expense, but it would undoubtedly give wider circulation. to those measures on which the people are asked to vote.'
 In this connection it might not be amiss at this time to call attention to the lack of pub licity which is given to the laws passed by the Territorial Leg islature. Other than the brief mention through the columns of the that may be made of measure when it is introduced or finally passed, the general public is not aware of the new laws that are being placed upon the statute books.
 It would seem as though there should be some provisior made for giving greater pub licity through the newspapers of the Territory of laws that are enacted every two years and which tie people generally are expected to comply with. A brief summary of all new laws should be published in all four divisions of tlc Territory, and thus give the people an opportunity to know just what their repre- sentatives in the Legislature are doing for ther constituents.-.Juneau Capital.

lodgeman of Ryerson's, and that By erson was made her guardian. She is IS and Ryerson 51.
 During her residence at the RyersOn home, she says, she was showered with attention by Ryerson, who re- sorted to compromising her after he failed to win by more ordinary love- making.
 Called Her "Dauehter"
 "At one of the social events given in my honor I was guest at Fellow craft Club at dinner given to about 50 of MT. Ryerson's friends" she said. "Mr. Ryerson introduced me as his daughter to those present, and none seemed to suspect that I was not
 q was timid and inexperienced. I guess fear of offending MT. Ryerson more than anything else led me to marry him. It was several days be- fore I knew the man married.
 Well, I lasted through 29 days of 1t, and within one day of living up to my part of the agreement-we had planned to try marriage for 30 days I was utterly unable to continue. I just ran away, not knowing where was going"
 Ryerson's first wife, Elvira, ob- tained a decree of divorce from him in 1919, charging her husband professed love for many women, some of whom professed to have the same ideals as himself. She said he was the re- cipient of many notes from '1ovesick women, who said his love aroused in them a fiery torrent" The first mar riage had taken place April 5, 1893, and there were three chiIdren-Al- bert, Grace and George.

NOTHING UNUSUAL

There is nothing unusual in the experience of President Harding who finds that as soon as prospective appointment to an important office is announced, there is flood of pro- tests. There are always great many appli- cants for desirable positions and the friends of the disappointed naturally see and empha- size the real or imaginary defeats of the person selected for appointment. No man is perfect, unless, perhaps, the editor of this paper and the reader of this paragraph. Since the President must make most of his appoint ments from a list of men all of whom have their faults, lie must expect that there will be many criticisms of his selections. The only way 10 avoid criticism is not to make any on second thought we doubt if even that would avoid criticism el,- tircy Would it?

THEY NEED A NEWSPAPER

The professor of political science at Syra- cuse University gave his students test on current events the other day with results rthat may be considered either humorous or path' tic, according to the point of view.
 Questions were asked concerning 20 prom inent men and dozen timely topics, eleciting such gems of information as that Clifford Pinchot is French interpreter now visiting the United States, moratorium is a death notice in Germany, Ghandi is the Italian ann bassador to the United States and Freudsm lis a German revolutionary party. The late Rep. james R Mann is described cham pion billiard player. As measuring the stock of common place knowledge possessed by ad- tvsnccd students in great university, young men who ane specializing on the abstruse sub iect oi political science, the replies are almost tragic. It is a wonder that the professor had the courage to give them to the world.
 This showing will, of course, give great aid aud comfort to that enemy of higher educa Ition. Thomas A. Edison. He will accept it as bearing out his contention that college stu dents weak in everyday useful knoW- edge. That would indeed seem to be indicated by this test, but it does not confirm his other contention that college training units young men for practical life. A half hours or hour s reading of good newspaper daily would fully supply the deficiencies so plainly shown. This reading should be supplemented by a brief talk by the instructor explaining the significance of the chief happenings in the news of the day. After a couple of weeks of such course let the professor institute an other test and he will be surprised at the different results, provided he has done his work we'll N
 Most universities and colleges now have courses in journalism instruction in mak- ing of newspapers They might well have courses in journalism in another sense, the intelligent reading of newspapers. Only thus can they keep their instruction in such sub jects as political science, history and economies fresh, vivid and up-to-date.

IGNORANCE OR CARELESSNEsS

Despite the strenuous efforts made by the Government, the press, the banks and other financial institutions only about twenty i've per cent of the called Victory notes had been presented for payment on the date set tor re- demption It had been anticipated that considerable amount of the notes would re- main in the hands of ignorant or indifferent holders. but the actual result was far more disappointing than anyone had expected.
 Ii is a repetition on larger scale of the story of either economic illiteracy or personal carelessness that already has marked the conrse of our war debt operations Last May, for example, it was calculated that some |,ooo,- 900 Liberty bond owners had neglected to col feet some $S3OOO0OO interest due them On ,,rovious occasions of "called" issues, many holders replected to turn in their interest defunct holdings.
 , One can only surmise how much of th's .on1oct is due to ignorance and how much to carelessness. Probnly, as yet, ''e 1o' ''e' -serves the major part of the blame Ill eao'nS 4o s11ch lapses as failure last year to eNc'lahSe democracy for permanent bonds, and to nee' ar understand call notices, or even Ill anS o17pnt to comprehend the cash quahty ol tue o,,,,1ons Sheer carelessness will probablV oe always vith us,-as the long eNperence ol Inc Government in matters of both secu1lt'eS and currency attests.
 Already. without doubt good many war bonds have been lost or even destro!eo Str,noc repositories have been employed' oe s,,;to all the repeated offers by banks and athors to take care of the bonds. When future rofrn1;no oncrations occur, and when years honcp. the maturity dates of the blg issues come there may repeat itself th's 1a''o'e '' attend to redemption as well as to cas'' cou ,,ons--nnless education shall have progressed much meanwhile

 The problem of interesting the small ilNeS'oi in sound investment and saving nm rom beino q prev to promoters of dubious eile' nriscs is always a live one. unfortUhatelE eonnd securities are necessarily sold on very narrow maroin of profit.

Statesmen of 'blue-sky' stocks with a fifteen per cent to fifty per cent margln or profit can afford to take the time to win ms confidence, while the reputable house neces- sarilv concentrates its efforts largely on ln- vestors of larger means in the effort to turn it's stock of bonds rapidly.
 Meanwhile Uncle Sam will, in the long run make pretty penny through his cit'zen-1nves, tors' lapses and losses,-added to his 'galns, made through redemptions via sinking 1unds when the bond prices were substantially pe- low par.
