KIND HEARTS
TOUCHED BY
ORPHANS
Light Reporter Finds Is
Riddles in Sorrow Over
Xmas Tragedy.

The Christmas tragedy that turned
The world grey for little Antonio
Reyes, when his mother died on a
shopping tour in San Antonio last
Saturday, has added II more little
victims TO the list.
For the Christmas savings of II
little cousins of Antonio were
swept away by the funeral expenses
and now when Christmas Eve comes,
not only Antonio faces the prospect
of sitting around a cherries hearth
but all of his little playmates likewise
may find empty stockings.
With what good cheer did Antonio,
S-year-old tot, bid his II cousins good
bye that day he drove away with his
mother from their Won Ormy home on
the banks of the Medina river, on
Il shopping trip 10 San Antonio to
buy everything that was needed for
a big Christmas.
TEARS SUPPLANT SMILES
Antonio felt so happy and proud.
He was going into San Antonio with
his mother to help her do the shop
ping. He waved q last goodbye to
the even dozen children, shouting and
playing as they drove away.
That was early in the morning.
That night, just at dusk. they came
back. But there were no happy greet
ings, no shouts Of joy, for it was a
solemn procession that wound down
the lane and silent, fearful group
IF children that huddled about the
door as the strange looking vehicle
came TO a stop.
For while in the big city stores buy
ing presents, the mother, Mrs. Paula
Diaz, bad suddenly expired. even as
Antoa.O hClI her hand-and all of
the happy Christmas anticipated by
Antonio and his little cousins van
shed.
LEFT AN ORPHAN.
All of the spare money that the
families had saved for Christmas was
needed to pay the funeral expenses
and after the family returned from the
little cemetery on the Medina river
late Monday they faced Christmas with
barely enough money TO buy food.
For Antonio there was only the
bitterest grief. His mother was gone,
He had lost his father when but a
baby, and now his mother was gone,
But in the darkest hour there is
always a bright ray that comes ia
the down-Started and it has come into
the life of little Antonio and his
cousins.
Yesterday afternoon when a repor-
ter from The Light drew up in front
uf the Diaz home, he saw the children
standing around, games forgotten. And
then their story came out. There was
no moacy left for Christmas. Santa
Claus could not come.
And then the reporter thought

SERIOUS CHARGE

1t is impossible TO imagine more
serious charge by one branch OF the
government service against another
The main peg upon which this out
rageous charge of fake appears to be
founded is that in assembling some OF
these films the flight of one bomG
through the air was hooked up with
the subsequent explosion OF differ
emit bomb.
In truth this was perfectly harm
less and trivial fault. Both the flight
and the explosion were accurately
pictured. The explosions were the
principal points. They were truth
fully pictured. They either sank or
damaged the target ships. This fact
defies contradiction.
Major General Clarence {. VII
liams, chief of ordinance, United
States army, who was present, de-
clared that "the bomb that sank the
Ostfriesland will be heard around the
world"
NO TAKING"
The truth of the matter is Simply
this: The army bombings prove that
the surface ships of our possible en-
cmies cannot come within striking
distance OF our coast without an
adequate air force, and one thing
more; they prove that our surface
ships must have command of the air

.Ry the Associated Press. .

By the Associated Press"
SALT LAKE CITY, July 23.-Jack
Dempsey, world heavyweight boxing
champion, accompanied by his wife,
formerly Estelle Taylor, is here en-
route to Los Angeles.
Dempseys all to the Paifc Coast
is the result of his decision to wind
np his business affairs with Jack
Kearns, his manager.
"My contract with Kearns runs for
some time yet" the champion said,
"and l will make no effort to have the
contract severed. Kearns will re-
ceive his full commissions from all
my earnings, as stipulated in the con-
tract, but when this contract expires
I shall do my own managing.
After his business on the coast Is
finished. Dempsey said, he would re-
turn to New York and If it is deemed
necessary go before the New York
Boxing Commission to satisfy such
demands as that body thinks should
insure the Harry Wills bout for the
future.
The champion firmly realizes that he
is out of condition, and for this rea-
son is not willing to make the mis-
take of entering the ring when not
at his best.
"I have signed to meet Wills, and
it is only a question of time until
that fight takes place. However, l
shall be in the best of condition and
l shall not be hurried into the fight
until 1 think I have attained that
goal. a Wills fight for this year is
out of the question, but I shall take
on some one, probably in September.

SEMI-FINALS FRIDAY
IN GIRLS NET PLAY

Dolly Bealer and Mary Shoemaker,

sity team, won place IN the semi-final
bracket of the girls District Junior
doubles tennis championship this
morning by defeating Marion and
Helen Ziegler. Western High School
stars. in a three-set marathon, IS,

The Bealer-Shoemaker victory was
something of an upset as the Ziegler
sisters both were semi-fnalists in the
singles event and are conceded to be
an excellent team. Superior court ex'
perienced aided the older team in
gaining the edge on the match. Dolly
Bealer proved an apt net player, scor-
ing numerous points by her accurate
placements.
Katherine Berrall and Elizabeth
Shepley had one set on their match
with Florence Seward and Margaret
Bouve late this morning. They won
the first brace at 60, and were
favored to take the final count. Miss
Shepley's forceful drive and skillful
delivery combined with Miss Berrall's
steady back court game were proving
too much for the Seward -Bouve team.

game fish, and there is reason for 1t
First, the bass is a wonderful
fighter, a knightly battler with cour-
age and strategy bred into him by
Mother Nature. He is the great game
fish of the American people. He is
found in most of our waters, and
when implanted in an estuary of but
ter he Is as tender a morsel as the
epicure can dream of.
Mr.. Black Bass, however, has not
received the care and attention by
our State and National governments
that his prowess deserves, and this is
mostly because we fishermen have
been too much of the "let George do
1t" kind. We have not passed the
right kind of laws to protect this
great fish, especially during the
spawning season, and there are still
States in this America Of ours where
there is no closed season and where
this doughty warrior can be taken
out of season.
The recent passage of the Upper
Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish
Refuge, which covers an area of 800
miles of river bottom lands, seems to
represent the last stand of black bass
in the Mississippi Valley particularly.
Here are found the greatest spawn
ing grounds for black bass and warm
water fishes in North America. And
here lies the great hope of the Bu-
reau of Fisheries by adopting the
Herbert Hoover bass pond plan of
keeping up the supply of black bass
in American waters.

missioner of the Bureau of Fisheries,

drained this tract.
The Trempeleau Bottoms are part
of the 342 900 acres represented in the
fish and game refuge referred to
above. and it is the intention of the
bureau to break down the canals and
let the Mississippi Rover again flow
into this rainage-desolated area. I
am told that more black bass will be
raised in the Trempeleau Bottoms by
10 times than are produced in all the
fish hatcheries in these United States.
