No More Fights Will
 Be Staged At Garden

NEW YORK. June 7.-No more this season and perhaps never again will the merry humping sound of wad- ded knuckles on battered beaks awaken cheers in the galleries of Madison Square Garden. The old knuckle emporium will become a nat atorium Saturday night with a grand inaugural splash and will be the scene of many important stillwater swimming events during the summer.
 Tex Rickard had hoped to get Joe Beckett and Tut Jackson together for a competitive diving number on the opening night, but there wasn't enough depth, as both boys go way down when they plunge.
 In the fall the Garden may not re- open, as there is a deal under way to tear down the pile and replace it with a sky-tickler.

MOTOR CAR CAMPERS MANY
They Are Doing Good Work Building
Great Fraternity Of Outdoor
Sports Lovers.

We have heard the lure Of the out
doors preached as long as we can re-
member, says the Sportsman's Digest,
and while no one disputed the value
OF time spent close to nature. 1t re-
mains a fact that only since the motor
car has. come into universal use have
appreciable increases been made In
the number Of people who spend Q
part Of their spare time In the open
A few years ago the motor car
camper was rare specimen-a curl
,osity that would attract attention at
any cross roads. Today he is fixture
to 6found on every highway and by
way of this broad land Each season
he Is carrying more and more Of his
fellows out into the open, thus aiding,
to a great extent. the purpose that
the outdoor press has so long advo-
Gated.
The camper Is to be encouraged. for
through him great fraternity Of out
door sports lovers Is being built. The
community which has not made pro
vision for the camper and is not ready
to welcome him Is far behind the
times, not only IN the way Of failure
to cooperate in growing movement,
but from q selfish standpoint also.
The camper, depending on the treat
ment he receives, can become a great
asset to community.
Yes, the camper is fixture and 1t
seems to be up to the various COM
munities to receive him well and to
send him on his way pleased with the
courtesy shown him-an ardent boost
er for the communities which he has
visited.

Voice Pictures

SO that future generations might be
able TO compare the quality of her
song with that of voices yet unheard,
Melba consented to sing into Professor
Lows audiometer, an instrument
which photographs the waves Of sound
as they come from the singers lips
This photograph is quite different from
that of any other voice ever recorded.
No other has had anything resembling
the same variation combined with the
same regularity. 1t is full Of harmonics
and infinitesimal variations in the
wave, but these waves are perfect in
regularity. This might account for Its
carrying power, by superimpositiOn,

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER so, 1928

SUNDAY NEW YORK AMERICAN
The Sunday New York American
has the largest circulation of any
newspaper in America-much more
than a million, every Sunday. 1t is
generally conceded that this enor-
mously big circulation has been gain
ed through the fact that the Sunday
offers an array of matchless, incom-
parable features. No other Sunday
newspaper has an eight-page comic
section in colors that has so many
cartoons of universal popularity such
as 4" Barney Google, ;" Bringing up
Father" etc., etc. No other news
paper offers the eight-page Book of
Magic-big fun for the little folks. ?
These magic pictures are printed in
invisible ink. When water is light
ly applied doll-cuts, funny faces,
games and puzzles appear as if by
magic. No other Sunday newspaper
has an American Weekly magazine
section such as the New York Amer
leans for which the whole world
searched for strange, human-interest
stories. One Of the stories now run
ming, "How I Won and Lost the
Gould Millions" by Count de Castel-
lane, is attracting worldwide atten-
ton. You get a smashing editorial
by Arthur Brisbane, whose articles
are read by one-fourth Of the Eng
disappearing peoplegon this continent
every day. H. G. wells, the fore
most writer and thinker of all
Europe, cables special article every
week and all the important news Of
the day is furnished by the greatest
of telegram and cable news services.

WHERE ALL THE SUGAR GOES
Bakers and Makers Of Candy and
Soft Drinks Use Vast
Amounts Of It.

Not more than half Of the sugar we
Americans consume is used In our
homes. The rest goes into manufac-
tured products. The estimates Of the
quantities used in manufacture run
this way:
Our candy makers alone use more
than $4,000 tons, and 10000 tons
more go to sweeten up chocolates and
ice creams.
Every year the bakers dip into the
national sugar bowl for well over as
900 tons for bread, 5000 tons for
crackers and 10000 tons goes every
year into frostings and odds and ends
In the bakeries.
Fourteen thousand or more soft
drink makers hit the nations, sugar
bin for at least 10000 tons for their
connections and another 100000 tons
goes into condensed milk.
Twenty thousand, tons Of sugar is
chewed up each year in gum; and less
aesthetic jaws worked on another
$4,000 tons that goes into the nations
"eatin' tobacco" this not including
about 5000 tons that goes to smoking
tobaccos.
The country's pill and potion bill
disposes Of about 5000 tons Of sugar
each year, and the corner druggist
uses an unknown quantity in filling
what the doctor ordered. X
Even sticky fly paper and roach,
ant and rat killers draw from the
sugar supply to the tune Of hundreds
Of tons.
And nobody knows how much has
gone into bootleg and home-brew.-
