FIRPO FINALLY FEROCIOUS.
Attitude Trainers Have Sought De-

New York, Sept. 13.-Like a lion

in the seclusion of sixth floor apart

out of sight across the flats and
heights of Harlem. If Gagged lien

Firpo is today. The big Argentine,
upon whom the Latin races of the
world have pinned their hopes for fis-
tic glory. is fighting mad.
This ferocity will be forced upon
the worlds champion when the pair
meet for the heavyweight title Fri
day night. 1t is a ferocity that the
South Americans trainers have la
bored TO develop in the three weeks Of
preparation at Atlantic City.
This morning Firpo left the apart
ment for short walk along River
side Drive when only the early riders
along the bride path and a few be-
fore-breakfast ozone lovers were out.
Horatio Lavalle announced that he.
Hugh Garland and Carlos Vega prob
ably would be in the Argentino's cor
ner during the fight. Lavalle and Vega
will do the directing and Garland
will handle the water bucket and
sponge.
There were many callers at the
Firpo apartment but none was per-
mitted inside. Lavalle declared FirpO
didn't want TO be bothered. A con-
tinuous stream of messages of encour-
agement and wishes Of success come
into the house. They come from all
parts of the world. The majority are
from Buenos Aires. but there are
many from other South American
cities: some from Italy, others from
France and Spain. As each one is

SMOKE OF TOBACCO
NOT so DEADLY AS
SCIENTISTS CLAIM
Tests Prove That There
Is Little Carbon Monox-

By the Associated Press.

Milwaukee, Sept. 13.-Tobacco
smoke is far less deadly in carbon
monoxide gas than scientists of the
past have claimed.
This is the opinion expressed by
three Investigators of Pittsburg be-
fore the semi-annual meeting of the
American Chemical Society here.
The conclusion reached by the in
vestigators, G.. w. Jones, w. L.
Yant and J.. Il. Burgess, followed
tests made in Pittsburg when three
subjects were placed in a non-ven-
tilated room Of 1000 cubic feet ca
pacity, and who for two hours smoked
cigars, cigarettes, stogies and pipes.
They claim the smoke was four to
six times more concentrated than
would be permitted under ventilated
room conditions. the eyes of the
smokers being protected by goggles.
After the test, it was reported, the
highest carbon monoxide content oil
the room was .02 per cent.
Previous investigators had shown
that undiluted tobacco smoke con-
tains 8 and IL per cent, monoxide,
said TO be the most deadly Of organic

Saratoga Springs, n. ". Sept. H.
Deliberately selecting the unlucSy
thirteenth on which to travel because
he believes it will bring him good luck,
Jack Dempsey today quietly deserts
his cottage TO move on TO New York,
where, tomorrow night. he will defend
his worlds heavyweight championship
against Luis Angel Firpo.
The champion, accompanied by
little bunch of faithful followers, plans
10 motor to Albany, 40 miles away,
and board private compartment
there for the rail trip to New York.
1t was announced by camp attache
last night that Dempsey and his par
ty would travel by boat down the
Hudson river, but this announcement
was made, it is believed, for the pur-
pose of confusing those awaiting the
champions arrival in New York to-
night. The main idea is TO sneak into
the
Dempsey's party will include Mike
Trant, the Chicago detective sergeant,
who acts as pal and bodyguard to the
champion Joe Benjamin, Pacific
coast lightweight; Jerry Luvadis, the
trainer, and Johnny Dempsey, a
younger brother. They will be met by
Manager Kearns in New York and
escorted to hotel to remain IN Sc
clusion.
Handshal1ing Last Training.
1t was a day of handshaking for
the champion as he went among the
friends he has made to bid them good
bye and thank them for their messages
of good luck"
The champion breaks camp with
sigh of relief because he regards the
place as the most uncomfortable and
most undesirable ever selected for him,
especially with the chill of autumn
settling down on this region. He con-
tracted cold as a result of damp
ness and the chilly winds sweeping
off the lake and has not been salts
fled with the cramped little cottage
in which he lived.
Lets WHISPERS Grow.
Dempsey spent yesterday very much
in seclusion. reading batch of mail
and hundreds of kilograms sent by adj
mirers throughout the world. His only
public appearance was in the morn
ing when he took an hours walk over
the hilly roads surrounding the lake,
and a brief stay in Saratoga Springs.
The champion will go into the ring
with a fresh haircut, but with a
growth of black stubble on his face.
Manager Kearns will be in charge
of Dempsey's corner tomorrow night,
with three assistants. The other sec
onds will be Joe Benjamin, Ludavis,
the trainer. and Dempsey's brother

BOND PRICES REACT
Trade Developments Offer No Elk
pIanation For Uniform Decline.

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light.
New York, Sept. 13.-For today's
almost uniform reaction in the bond
market there was no explanation IN
the news or in trade developments.
Selling of high grade securities
might be accounted for by the firmer
tone in the money market and by the
fact that most of this grade of bonds
return a very small yield and must
look unattractive to investors to whom
income is the primary cOnsiGera-
ton.
No such reasoning, however. will
do in the case of the speculative rails
and fractions. The outlook for such
a railrocl as the Erie with steadily
improving earnings sufficient to cover
all charges and leave balance over
for the stock, has not been changed
overnight.

If Firpo wins it will be a real up.

CARRIAGE AND MOTIONS OF THE
HANDS

EyKyHEN the hands hang Imply at
Wv the side, and are heavy, thick
'and fat, you may deduce therefrom,
generally, that the intellect of the
possessor viii be likewise heavy and
fiat" All is density, and there is no
luse trying to raise the possessor Of
such hand out of the depths Of ma
Iterialism. When You read his or her
hand" says one authority. IF you at
tempt keen analysis, he will blank
lily stare at you. No use trying to lift
him out of his trough Of materialism.
1T can't be done. He wants to know
his brothers name, whether he is mar
Iried, how many children, how long he
Iwill live, whether he will be rich, and
you cannot lift him above this plane"
Lastly, we have the cautious per
son who enters your room with an
|air of investigation and with the
hands carried behind the back, where
they are clasped. This person is timid
and well-meaning, but suspicious Of
the value and merits and standing Of
palmistry. You must deal gently with
him; he is open to conviction, but
must be led and cannot be driven.

EUDORA

! T. UDORA was transplanted direct
- frsm ancient Greece where the
word for happy gift" became fem
mime proper name and was given much
vogue among Greek damsels. Its
quaint sound, as well as its pleasing
Significance, brought II TO French ro-
nance as Eudore.
But the first Eudora and the one
whom our adoption Of the name COM
memorates, was one Of the Nereids OF
Greek mythology. Like Amphitrite,
Thetis and lGalatea, she was the best
known Of the sea nymphs. According
to mythology, the Nereids. fifty or
hundred in number. were the daugh-
tiers Of Nereus and Doris, and were
attendants upon Poseidon, god of the
sea. They were represented as hav-
ing entire human form and riding upon
sea horses or other sea monsters.
Another form of the name-Eudoria
WAS much used by Greek expresses,
and imperial brides who bore a name
unsuited to the Greek ear, assumed it
voluntarily. Through the saints of the
Greek church the name reached Rus
STA as Jevdoksijs.
Lapis laxuli is the stone assigned to
Eudora. 1t will prove a talisman
against depression and is said to pro-
tect against fevers. Monday is her
lucky day and her lucky number. !:
