There is no. reason why eastern
featherweights should regard the
vacant chair as their inheritance.
Nor is there any reason why the
New York boxing commission
should attempt to close the com
petition to boys who may not
find it convenient to enter a local
tournament.
In the natural course of events
some candidate will stand out.
Dundee will then emerge from
retirement, as Johnny Kilbane did,
and the winner of that match will
be the next featherweight cham
pion regardless of any boxing
commission legislation.
A Shoulder Chip Man from the
West.
VOU hear very little of the
out of town featherweight
contenders because few of
them get any publicity in New
York. This brings to mind the
case of Mike Dundee, of Rock
Island and Chicago. Mike-no
relation to Johnny-is legitimate
featherweight who has been oper-
ating successfully in the West
for three years.
He made just one appearance in
New York and since then he has
been unable to get any bouts
there. A year ago last winter
Charley Beecher was one of the
best feathers there. Benny Gould.
of Canada, stopped Beecher and
then Dundee came in and knocked
out Gould, breaking his jaw.
Local managers know Dundee
well-so we'll that they avoid him
We know for d fact that his man
ager, Dick Curley, has been trying
to match him with local head
liners, and is making no Roadway,
Mike Ballerino, Tony Vacarelli
and Johnny Leonard are rated &c
three of the best boys in the
featherweight and junior light
weight classes. Their managers
want none of Dundee's game.
Is Mike Too Good?

Last week, John Torrio, q

AN OLD MAIDS
 ESSAY ON MEN

Men are what women marry. They have two feet, two hands and some times two shirts; but never more than one collar or one idea at time.
 Like Turkish cigarettes, men are all made of the same material-hus- bands, bachelors, and widowers-the only difference being that some are little better disguised than others.
 An eligible bachelor is a mass of obstinacy entirely surrounded by sus- picion.
 Husbands are of three varieties prizes, surprises and consolation priz- eS.
 Making husband out of man is one of the highest plastic arts known to civilization. It requires science, sculpture, common sense, faith, hope and charity-especialiy charity.
 It is a psychological marvel that @ soft, fluffy, tender, violet-scented, sweet little thing like a woman should enjoy kissing a big, awkward, stubby- chinned, tobacco-and -bay-rum scented thing like man.
 If you flatter them, it frightens them to death ,and if you don't you bore them to death. If you oermit a man to make love to you, he gets tired of you in the end; if you don't, he gets tired of you in the beginning. If you join in his gaities and appr1ve of his smoking, he swears you are driv- ing him 10 the devil, and if you don't approve of his smoking and urge him to give up his gaities, lie likeswise VOWS you ale driving him to the devil
 If you wear gay colors, and rouge and startling hat, he hesitates to take you out; and if you wear a lit tie brown toque and tailor-made, he takes you out and stareS all evening at woman in gay colors, rouge anc startling hat.
 If you are clinging vine type, he doubts whether you have brain, anc if you are modern, advanced and inde. pendent woman, he doubts whether you have heart.
 If you are silly he longs for : bright mate. If you are popular witt other men, he is jealous; and if yor are not, he hesitates to marry wall flower.

STONE AXE FOUND
 NEAR DAWSON CITY

DAWSON,-A find of unusual in terest was made week ago by Rod erick O'Connor and sons, Ted and Harry, while prospecting on the Gla- cier trail, about thirty-two miles from town. They were uncovering the ledge when Harry, the elder son, picked up a peculiarly shaped stone, which on examination proved to be flint axe. The blade is about five and quarter inches wide and measures four inches from the head to the cutting edge. It is nearly semi-circle in shape, a little more than half an inch in thick ness at the top and narrowed down to a fairly sharp cutting edge on the blade.
 The specimen is fine example of the handiwork of the craftsmen of the early stone age, and the artisan who shaped it must have been a master hand at his art. A portion of the tool has been broken from the top, but still enough remains to indicate that the blade was inserted in a cleft stick and bound in place by thongs.
 The finding of this relic of past ages opens up field for conjecture. It may be than an ancient race of men inhabited the Yukon during the proglacial age, when the mammoth and other now extinct animals roam- ed the forests before the irresistible flow of the glaciers swept from the north, carrying all before them, de- stroying man and beast alike, divert ing the course of great rivers and changing the contour of the country. Remains of the mammoth, giant buf- falo and other extinct animals are of- ten found by miners in the placer fields, but so far no human remains have been unearthed.
 So far as can be ascertained nc flint has been found in the Yukon, ex- cept at point on the Porcupine river and the flint axe foud by MT. O'Con- nors and sons is the first flint axe to be unearthed in the territory. It is possible that the ancient tool found it's way to the Yukon through barter with nomadic tribes to the south among whom the use of stone arrows axes and hammers were common in ages long gone by.
 Traces of an ancient race have been found recently on the Alaskan coast and are the subject of scientific ex- animation, but so far nothing of the kind has been discovered in Yukon with the exception of that made by Mir. O'Connor.

LONDON, June 25-"A luncheon fit for king," is an often used phrase, but few people are able to state just what it is that kings feast upon.
 When King George and Queen Mary visited the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley, reporter determined to learn just what they had to eat. He discovered that the luncheon "fit for a king" was as follows:
 Soles Colbert
 Caneton la Gelee d'Orange
 Salade Russo

Birthday Yesterday

Doctor James Harris Rogers, of
HyattsviIle, father Of underground

attempting to devise a method Of
underground broadcasting.
Forced to relinquish his work
considerably during the past year

theory.
His most recent invention Is a
form Of insulation which he believes
win overcome the last obstacle that
stands in the way of perfect radio
transmission over long distances.
The wheel OF wires that Doctor
Rogers laid underneath Hyattsville
during the war and through which
were picked UP important German
plans Of action, is being replaced
with a newer and better wheel Of

ROMPING AROUND
RADIO DIAL
BY Listener-In

Have you ever noticed" one Of
the group around our loud speaker
queried last night, how seldom
Roxy is found presenting the songs
that one has heard score Of times
In the past month";
The question constituted an an.
swer as to one OF the secrets Ci
the popularity Of Roxy's programs.
The songs that he gives his artists
to sing are all well-known hut they
are not over familiar. Hearing them
Is like meeting old friends.
Roxy never picks up the songs
Of the moment. Rather he makes
them.
We have noticed in the past that
often after an old favorite has bee1
revived by Roxy, we may expect
to hear It echoed from all over tn.
broadcasting field. 1t is almost as
though every station tEnanager in
the country is accustomed to tune
In on Roxy every Sunday night
and find out what the styles In
songs are to be fore the following
week.
It was Roxy who started the
greatest revival Of Gilbert and 5usli-
van music that this country has
known. It was Roxy who brought
back to life the hits Of musical
comedies Of American musical COM
edies OF decade ago.
And it is Roxy who, remembering
every song he has ever heard, brings
them back one by one and makes
them live again.
And we never find him perform
ing an autopsy on a song that has
just died.
There is too great a tendency
among broadcasting artists to fol.
low the leader when 1t comes to
songs. They may plead desire
to sing what Is popular. But popu-
larity in songs is not a long-lived
affair.
Even the most beautiful Of our
vocal compositions grow old in a
fortnight II they live to rapidly.
+ Graham McNamee Is, except for
the three Presidential candidates,
the most advertised man in America
for the moment.
In the New York newspapers his
life during the Democratic conven.
ton is given in much the same
detail az is that Of the latest inter-
national beauty.
His picture is becoming almost as
well known as his voice.
And while the papers are herald
ing his abilities as a radio an
nouncer, we find a tiny note in the
musical column of one Of the New
York dailies that Graham Nc.
