But Negroes Manager Doesn't
. Want Bout With Any Losers

New York, Aug. 22.--Luis Angel
Firpo today has his signature on two
contracts to fight Harry Wills, negro
heavyweight, in Argentine. He signed
them last night, for Tex Richard; one
contract to hold If he beats Jack
Dempsey OH September IA and wins
the worlds championship; the other
to be used in case he succumbs to the
champion,
The only flaw in the preparations SO
far is that Wills had not placed his
name on similar sheets and Paddy
Mullins, the negro's manager, stated
last night that he wouldn't sign Harry
with Firpo. unless the Argentinean
won the title.
Richard has not as yet conferred
with Mullins on the matter and proba-
bly, will not, he said, until after the
fight on September IA but when told
of the attitude taken by Wills mana
ger he stated that he had expected as
much.
However" he said, Il have Firpo
signed for the fight. Mullins can take

NOT HOW LONNG
BUT HOW WELL
WE HAVE LIVED

After all is said. it is not SO
much question OF now long we
live, but how we'll we have lived
while sojourning there below"
And each day add this to your
prayer: ooh, Lord, help ME TO
grow old gracefully.
About 200 years ago Richard
Bradley published Family Die
tionary" in which he said: "To at
tain to an advanced and even ex-
IRENE old age, take three pounds
of rosewater, five ounces of
orange and lemon peel dried in the
shade, nutmeg, Glove and CHINA
mon, of each three ounces;
pound of red roses that have been
gathered two days, a pinch of
laurel leaves; put all these togeth-
err with some rosewater, bed upon
bed, into a glass of limbeck, distill
them very gently with Bath
Mary, and keep the water that
comes out for your use"
This concoction according to
Bradley, would prolong life and
meantime effect all the cures for
infirmities and disorders ever
claimed for any patent medicine
by street faker.
There are many home brewers
ambitious enough to attempt to
manufacture Bradley's formula,
no doubt. He had other formulas
for living to a ripe old age-and
played them up so strongly that
it is evident the folks of 220 years
ago were as keen for long life a3
eager observers of monkey gland
| experiments.
Life is a ,mery-go-round, the
| same old things over and over
again in different DISCUSSES in sue
ceeding generations.
Death and Trouble seem to
ignore the campaigns against them.
The trouble with these attempts
to find method of making peo-
pie live $50 or more years is that,
even if scientists discovered how,
no one would live up to the rules.
It's like going to doctor We
want him to give us a pill and send
us away magically cured II Doc
prescribes starvation diet, a long
course of bitter medicine or hard
physical exercise, the patient is
| likely to consider the cure worse
than the disease,
After all, we're kidding our
selves about wanting to live 200
years or so. Most of us are ready
to quit at 70, tired, bored.

Maybe my souls become ''commercalized,'
But I'll admit, somehow, I cannot find
What evil turks in being standardized"
Standardized tools make work simpler thing,
Standardized roads and railways give to
Broader horizons, greater scope and bring

Standardization gives million
What thousand at the most, night own.
1t multipies again and yet again
Comforts that would be otherwise unknown.
1t adds speed to thought, breadth dreams
Lightens the load of WEAKNESS and toll
Makes steel the beast of burden and redeems
The plowman from his bondage to the soil.
1t does not tie men to material things,
But makes them serve him in better way:
Gives toiers leisure for the thoughts of kings
For books and music, laughter love and Play
Standardized thought? All yes, I've the phrase
1t sounds like something ominous, in sooth;
Yet since the first beginning of his days
Mans thought has struggled for a standard-Tr1tb!
