Queen Anne's County-Is one of
the few spots in America where
tournaments on horseback have come
down i from the Middle Ages OF
Merrie England to be kept alive
in this land of the free and home of
the brave. where knighthood is still
in flower"
The South and the North meet
in the Heart of Del-Mar-Va. Hand
finland with the lingering atmos-
phere' of Dixie,s grace and beauty

county as a progressive business
community
Queen Anne's county is historic
soil where Washington visited and
the British were twice repulsed. in
the War OF 1919. One may step
from busting streets where traffic
control signals flash, into old home
stesds and immortal estates which
sent kinfolk to battle in both the
Blue and Gray during the Civil War
and then reunited their sons and
grandsons under the Stars and
Stripes in the conflicts of 1898 and
1917.
The Centreville National Bank
stands second on the roll of honor
banks of the United States; the

VETERANS STILL
NEED RED CROSS
Aid to Disabled Men Increases
as Problems and Legislation
Bring Complications.
10000 MEN DIE EACH YEAR
Many Entitled to Benefits Still
uniformed of Just Claims
to Compensation.

Eight years after the World War
finds service to disabled veterans still
> major responsibility of the Ameri-
IAN Red Cross.
This situation is due to the increas-
ing problems involved and the COM
pick character of veteran legislation.
There is also an increase in numbers
Of death cases" handled, as COM
pared with claims for living veterans,
though the work for the latter re-
mains heavy. About 10000 ex-service
men are dying each year, consider
able percentage of these having serv-
ice-connected disabilities.
In majority of cases, Red Cross
Chapters find their assistance is need
ed in helping dependents present
their claims for death compensation,
insurance payments, bonus, burial al
lowances, and other government ben
efits due Them An episode of the
past year illustrates the difficulties
frequently encountered by the Red
Cross experts in rendering such as
sistance. A veteran dying from serv-
Disconnected disease, was trying from
his bedside to establish at that late
time his claim for Government aid to
his family, and the necessary proofs
were in a physicians records across
the continent from him. To obtain
the needed aff1davits before 1t was too
late, a cross-continent airplane fight
was necessary, then Red Cross
Chapter in Pennsylvania hurried the
investigation, sending the papers
back to the veteran and his Red
Cross helpers in Oregon, by air-mail.
1t reached there in time.
Another discovery in Red Cross as
sistance to veterans and their fami-
lies is that many dependents of these
men unQuestionably entitled to Gov
eminent aid, have struggled along,
ignorant of their rights.
approximately 1855 Red Cross Chap
tiers carry on Home Service work, in
assistance to veterans and their dam
lilies. The Chapters also conduct
campaign among veterans for rein
statement and conversion of their
term insurance. Among its other du-
ties, the Red Cross assumed at the
request of the Canadian Government
the administration of fund allotted
to the care of Canadian disabled vet
Grams living in the United States.
In the United States the Red Cross
assisted an average of about $4,000
disabled veterans and their families
every month in the past fiscal year.
Indicating the size of this undertake
ing, National Headquarters iof the
Red Cross expended $1,641,N S.1S on
disabled veterans alone, and $780,
451.72 on assistance to men ON active
duty with the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps, while Red Cross local Chap

PROMOTER PLANS.
TO MATCH CHAMP
AND GENE. TUNNEY
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, March 5s-Permls-
sion to proceed with arrangements IS
for a heavyweight championship
match between Jack Dempsey and
Gene Tunney is expected to be
asked by Tex Rickard at today s
meeting of the boxing commission.
Through his match maker, jess
Mcmahon, Rickard is expected to
give the commission his reasons for
knowing match between Dempsey
and Harry Wills, the recognized
challenger, cannot be made.
He also will suggest that Wills
has forfeited his standing as the
first ranking challenger by signing
an agreement with Floyd Fitzsim-
mons, Chicago promoter, against
the orders of the commission and
that he has lost prestige by his re-
fusal to accept matches with any
capable opponents.
Rickard tried to make a match
between Wills and Tunney, but the
negro refused.
The New York promoter cannot
disclose any of his plans concerning
the champion without making him
self liable to forfeiture of his IL
cense, but it is reported on good
authority that he already has signed
Tunney and that Dempsey has Civ
eli him assurance he will accept
terms on percentage basis as soon
as he is able to get square with the
commission.
1t will be up to Rickard to get
Dempsey off the New York ineligi-
bic list but if the commission re
fuses to change its attitude he will
stage the bout in Jersey City late
in August.
Dempsey said when he was here a
few days ago that he would return
to New York next month after a
business trip to Los Angeles and
that he would see what he could do
to get himself back in good stand

American product.

Mexico, of course, is responsible
for allowing these places to run wluc
open, for tolerating officials of the

responsible for the establishment, and
that rests in large part on the record
of Americans.
Heavy tribute is paid the officials
here by the American owners ~ the
dope establishments. gambling halls,
saloons and other dives. The hum
dreds OF fallen women, most Of then,
Americans. also pay their tribute to
corrupt officialdom. The whole thing,
in short, is Il striking combination
Of Mexican laxity and American
greed.
The "c!can-up' campaign that is
on here now is the strangcst clean

this moment it consists chiefly in the
collection Of heavier graft by the
