them said so openly in their columns and others made bets on Dempsey. remember one prominent writer who made a bet of S2O0 against S3,O00 that Dempsey would knock Willard out in the first round. That was looked upon as a joke bet. It really resulted from an argument during the tr1tniny pc riod. The newspaper writer insisted though, that he had made a good bet | How close he came to winning is well known now In fact thousands of fans believe to this day that he would have won but for an accident in ringing the bell for the end of the first round.
 In my whole life l don't believe I ever have seen more confidence in a mans face than that in Dempsey s when he took his corner just before the gong sounded. Over in the other corner Willard looked like a huge elephant about to crush a panther it seemed impossible that a man of that size could be downed by a man like Dempsey.
 When all the preliminaries were over and the gong sounded Dempsey fairly leaped from his corner. With out any hesitation or cautious sparr- ing he tore at Willard. Getting inside the big arms of the champion, Demp- sey let fly right handed swing. It landed flush on the jaw of Willard and the big giant was knocked as flat as pancake. He tumbled like house hit by cyclone. The crowd actually gasped in surprise. In another minute the whole place was in an uproar. Visions of new champion were in the minds of the great crowd.
 Bang. Dempsey socked another one squarely on Jess jaw the moment | ha again.
 l haven't the writing ability to des- cribe the scene at that moment. It was something like that exciting night up at the Polo Grounds when Firpo knocked Dempsey out of the ring. The people went crazy. Willard went down seven times.
 The Gong Goes Wrong
 It was during this excitement that something went wrong with the gong and 1t failed to work. I am not in position to say, because do not that Willard would have been knock ed out if if the gong had sounded at the 1 right moment or if the principals had heard the efforts of the time keepers.
 In tine press seats at the ringside there was quite a commotion. Every body believed for a second that the fellow who had made the bet of S2OO against $3,000 that Dempsey would win in the first round, had won.
 After that it was all Dempsey S fight. His first punches, coming like battering rams, had taken the force out of Wiiiard's return blows. He could not recover.
 new champion had arisen. In many ways I think him the greatest of all heavyweight kings. For a man or hls size there is no question in my mind but that Jack Dempsey is the greatest heavyweight champion of them all.
 some went so far as to say that Willard had quit. I do not believe it. Jess Willard's own words may throw some hght on that, as I will show.
 Tomorrow: Willard, game, seeks re- venge.

UNIV ERSTrI7 HIGH
 BEATS JEFFCO HI

The Ganeeoeks O. University BiEE had iittlc trouble trouncirs the Jeffer- son Corr Wildcats at the First MetnUu,o. @. Monday afternoon, piIing up a 37 to 13 count, without ex- tending themselves. The Wildcats were able to register but three points in the initial half, while they ran their total to 13 in the second stanza when UniL versity scrubs entered the fray.
 The passwork of the Gamecocks was a big feature, Mike Grabin showing up to great advantage in the passing game. Their defense was good, espe- cially while the regulars were in the game. Streits work at back guard stood out in this department
 Sorreil and Robertson
 Sorrell and Robertson probably play ed the best game for Jefferson county. Their defensive game was considerable better than their offensive play.
 Mccoy, Grabin and Streit were the satellites for the winners. Mccoy fought well, passed to advantage and brought his range for the loops into action by tossing six field goals. Some of his attempts from the field resulted from good follow-in work.
 Summary and line-ups:
 University High (3O-McCoy Q2), center Trippi t6), and Streit, guards Substitutions-Burt for Grabin, Grab,n for Burt, Burt for Wood, Roll tor Streit, Streit for Trippi, Barnett for Roll, French for Mccoy,

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. Frederick r. Green,
Editor of "Health."
J. 1924. Western Newspaper Union,
GOITER

GOITER is an enlargement of the
thyroid gland. This structure,
one of the largest glands in the body,
lies at the base of the neck.
Goiter has been recognized for GEN.
turtles. 1t was known TO the Greeks
and Romans. 1t has been common for
hundreds of years in certain districts
in Switzerland, France and the Balkan
states, not only among human beings,
but also among calves, lambs, pigs
and fishes. Tradition and popular be-
lief attributed this enlargement of the
gland TO drinking water from certain
springs and streams. 1t was never
found along the seashore or among
people who ate large amounts of sea
food.
Scientific knowledge on the subject
is just catching up with popular be-
lief. Recent Investigation has proven
that simple goiter is due to lack of
iodine in the body. This was discoy-
cred in curious way.
The Pennsylvania state fish COM
mission found that goiter was becom-
considered abandoning its fish hatch
cries. Doctors Marine and Lenhart
were asked to investigate.
They found that the water in the
hatcheries and fish ponds was lacking
in iodine. So they added small
amount Of sooine to the water and
goiter disappeared.
!,
Akron, Ohio, heard about this. Doctor
Kimball, the local school physician,
had found in 1920 that over half of
the girls in the public schools had
goiter. So the doctors asked the girls
if they wanted to take iodine TO pre-
vent or cure goiter. Half of the girls
agreed, so 5000 were given a small
amount of iodine in their drinking wa
ter for two weeks each spring and fall.
The other 5000 girls drank ordinary
water.
Not one of the girls who drank the
iodine water developed goiter, while
q per cent of those who drank or
binary water did develop it.
Three years ago, iodine and choco-
late tablets were given to all the
school girls of st. Gall, Berne and
Zurich, Switzerland, and the amount
of goiter in these three cantons has
been reduced nearly 70 per cent.
Now, Doctor Olin, health commits
sioner Of Michigan, has issued an or
der prohibiting the sale of any salt
in the state which does not contain
iodine.
1t is too early to say positively what
the result will be. 1t is apparently
proven that goiter is caused by lack
of iodine and that a small amount
in the food or water will prevent
this condition.
So the old Greek physicians who
burned seaweed and sponges and gave
the ashes to their goiter patients
weren't SO foolish, after all.

SUPPLYING LOST HUMAN
PARTS

SURGEONS, today, make new noses
and fingers from other parts of
the patients body. The time may
come when you can get new hand
or new foot as easily as you now
buy a pair of gloves.
How would this be possible? BY
saving the healthy parts of the bodies
Of persons killed by accident and
grating them on to the bodies of per-
sons who have lost these parts. The
difficulty does not lie in the grating
but in the possibility of preserving
life in the bodily structures for an
indefinite length of time.
Incredible as it may seem, begin
ming has actually been made. Eight
years ago, DR.. Alexis Carrel of the
Rockefeller institute took the lining
membrane of a hens egg and put it
into normal salt solution in ves-
sci where the heat was automatically
regulated. That membrane is still
alive and growing This is the only
instance in which living matter has
been kept alive outside of the animal
body
Carrel was sent over to France
early in the war to work out method
of treating infected wounds. Work
ing with Dakin, an English chemist,
he devised what is now known as the
Carrel-Dakin solution, by which pol
luted wounds could be made so clean
that they healed, as surgeons used to
say, ''by first intention"
Carrel says that the methods by
which he kept alive the chicks mem
brane may be developed to a point
where entire members of the human
body may be kept in state of sus-
pended animation.
When young and healthy man is
killed by a street car or an automo-
bile, wnen brick falls and strikes
a passerby on the head. causing death
by the injury of some vital part, the
rest of the body may be In perfect
health. Why not use the sound parts
of these bodies to restore the dam
aged parts of people otherwise
healthy?
The day may come when every large
city will have an anatomical cold
storage warehouse in which hands and
feet, arms and legs, ears and noses
will be preserved. Then the crippled
man can tell the surgeon, II Tar
left foot, size 61a, grated on to tal-e
the place of the one I have lost"
Does this seem impossible? II isn't
a bit more so than things done every
day would have seemed to the sur
geon of a hundred years ago.
