New York, Aug. Rl-Philadel- phia interests today renewed over lures to Tex Rickard to stage the Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunney heavy weight title in the sesquicentennial stadium there, if developments pre- vent it from being held in New York laccording to announcement by Rick ard.
 Rickard did not reveal the identity of those approaching him on the subject but declared he understood they had the support of Mayor Ken drick of Philadelphia in bidding for the bout.
 Rickard added he would not seri- ously consider any offer from Phila- delphia or elsewhere until convinced that obstacles in the way of the fight here could not be overcome.
 To hasten solution of the licens- ing issue. which is now the chief barrier to the match here, Dempsey is likely to appear before the state athletic commission next Tuesday.
 George Brewer, the boxing com missioner whose switch in opinion resulted in sanction for the match. declared he would expect the cham pion, as at least matter of cour- tesy to make his request for a li- cense in person.

NEW OFFICERS FOR
 FIRE DEPARTMENT
Captain and Two Lieutenants
 Must Be Picked

With the appointment of a cap- tain. two lieutenants and ten pri- yates in the fire department in the offing. candidates for the places are beginning to stir themselves to ac- tivity in the hope of being favored by the commissioners. Not since the adoption of the two platoon system has a board Of fire commissioners had this number of appointments to make and within a few months. when actual preparations for occu- pying the new fire station on Stan ley street will begin. the appoint ments will be the center of public interest, it is believed.
 Although the city charter allows the commissioners to promote men from the ranks to the position of captain, it is expected that the new captain will be chosen from the present lieutenants and every lieutenant will be a candidate. Tn fact several are already in the field.
 If a lieutenant Is promoted, his place will be filled from the ranks. and there will also be a lieutenancy to be filled for the company to oc- cupy the new house. Practically every private in the department will be a candidate for the places. and in some instances. friends of the men have begun to lay their lines in the direction of the com missioners.
 It is expected that the new com pany will consist of eight men, four to each shift. They will be appoint ed from the present list of substi- tutes, and the two vacancies exist ing by reason of resignations few months ago will be filled in like manner. The lieutenants from among whom the new captain will probably be selected are John Souney. Stanley Rozanski, Fred Linn, William J. Hartnett. Thomas Hinchey, John Stanton, Frank Gil- ligan and Hugh Clark.

CHICAGO VIOLATES
 DOMINION TREATY
Institute Speaker Deplore Di.
 version Of Lake Water

Williamson, Mass, Aug. Rt- tChicago's diversion of water from
 Lake Michigan for sewage purposes
 was a violation of the spirit of in- ternational morality" defined in the
 Niagara Falls water power treaty between the Dominion and the
 United States. Samuel s. Wyer, con-
 sulting engineer of Columbus, O.,
 told the institute of politics today
 This violation Of our moral ob- I legations" said Mfr. Wyer. has made the Canadians bitter toward us, and
 now stands in the way of getting Canada and the United States to work together in harmony in the 1 immediately needed preservation of 1 the Niagara Falls and in develop ment on the Niagara and St. Law renee rivers"
 MT. Myer said. however, that Chi cago's action was within the letter of the treaty." The Canadian public. he asserted, was given to understand that the Niagara. Falls water power treaty exempted from the diversion agreement only water for domestic and navigation purposes. When the treaty was finally signed. sanitary purposes" was added. he said, mak- ing Chicago's violation one of the spirit of the treaty rather than the letter.
 Chicago, instead of using modern sewage disposal, is still following the medieval method of dumping un- retreated sewage into a stream. he said, and is diverting water out of Lake Michigan to flush this filth" into the Mississippi river by way of the Chicago drainage canal.
 "A condition precedent to the whole Niagara Falls and St. Law renee development program" said Mir. Wyer lis to arouse our national conscience to face the interstate and international moral aspects of Chi cago's water diversion, and formu- late definite policy as to where we stand. Obviously. if Chicago has the right to take 10000 cubic feet Of water per second. it may claim the right to take more"
 The water taken by Chicago from Lake Michigan is about equal to that going over the American Falls at'E Niagara Falls, he said.

 Hast year there were between 12,000 and 13,000 cooperative farmer organizations in this coun- try. They marketed products valued at more than two and one-half bil- lion dollars, which was one-fifth the total of agricultural products that year.
 Railroad Man Speaks --
 "One thing is certain" he con- cluded, the consumer is now pay ing all he should for foodstuff. Any increase to the farmer will have to come from a better system of dis tribution that will give the farm CTS large share of the ultimate cost"

 New England is making con- sistent and prosperous growth" he declared. and in point of it's rela- ton to railroad mileage. 1t stands at the top of the list" Mr. Began added that the relation between the railroads and the public had never been so cordial as at the present time.

pointment and despair.
One Of our good American poets,
Edwin Markham think it is, says
"Only the soul that knows the mighty
grief can know the mighty rapture.
Sorrows come to stretch out spaces in
our hearts for joy"
And he is right Sorrow stretches
out spaces in the heart for sympathy
and understanding, and it is through
them we come into the unspeakable
joy Of feeling ourselves members of
the great family circle of God.
Though l am by nature joyous,
gifted with great capacity for hap
piness, it is through the sorrows /
have known that speak to you to-
day. Otherwise you would not hear
me.
This little message of the four
els" of good citizenship, or good
living, comes direct from the deeps
Of experience. My heart is so full Of
lit don't know, where to stop, altho'
/ am aware / must soon.
However, the Importance of my
third "L"-learn-has already been. in
directly touched upon, so I may con-
sistently hasten to a conclusion, SIM
ply admonishing you of the possibility
of passing out of this life without
having learend to live. Existence. is
not enough. It does not satisfy. We
must learn to live fully; love whole
heartedly and labor faithfully.
AS to labor, my fourth and final
a." I am glad we have come at last
to recognize the dignity of honest toll.
Labor, however difficult, however
disagreeable, is better than idleness.
If we have something useful to do,
we should be grateful. Even though
the work may not appeal to US, we
may do it in such way as to get
from it full measure Of joy. The plain
task of washing dishes, or of tidying
a room, may be given the touch of
that something within US which yearns
for expression in terms Of beauty. It
is truly said-"Art is the beautiful
way of doing things" and honestly
believe there is no place in the world
where one may better express beauty
than in the making of a home.
But wherever we are, whatever we
do, we may work with the certain as
surance that our lives and our labor
leave their lasting impress. Both the
visible and the invisible respond to
the touch of toll.
So, even though, at times, body and
soul ache with WEAKNESS, let us labor
hopefully and happily. Let us never
forget that a wise providence has de-
creed compensating wage for every
worker. Let us sing as we work,
for
When day is done and the winged
shadows fold US in the embrace of
night, when the harp of thousand
strings has sent its last golden note
into the impenetrable silence, we may
fall asleep in perfect peace. And in
the hush of that. moment when the
tick of time is still, we dream sweet
dreams of dawn We shall have earn
cd our rest.
