 CHICAGO, SEPT. l6
This Is Program Now An- nOunced in Heavyweight Class

Chicago, July 19 P-The Chicago Herald and Examiner today said it had definitely learned that the Dempsey Tunney heavy weight championship bout would be staged in Chicago, Sept. Is. The paper said that formal announcement would be made today by Tex Rickard. after a conference with his packers, whom he described as five of the biggest men in Chicago"
 The newspaper account continued that Soldiers field the municipal the site of the battle.
 Rickard earlier was quoted by the Herald and Examiner as saying that he would transfer his headquarters here from New York and operate out of this city permanently, if Chi cago were chosen.
 Since the passage of the boxing bill and the rebirth of the fistic pastime here, Rickard has received numerous letters requesting the transfer of his headquarters. he said.
 Efforts were made last night to have a decision withheld until after the next meeting of the New York boxing commission. which has ruled that Dempsey must meet Harry Wills before engaging Tunney. Billy Gibson, manager Of Tunney, tele- phoned from New York, urging a delay, following a conference with William Muldoon, a member of the New York commission.
 Rickard said last night that if the match came to Chicago he would bend every effort to draw larger gate than the one of the Dempsey Carpenter fight. That gate amount ed to $1,600,000, the largest in box ing history"

March Weather.

Memories of mid March storms and
fiarebacks of the past are stimulated
by todays easterly wind and appear
ance Of snow. This is u treacherous
month. 1t has a sinister record for
bad weather. There have been sew
eral March blizzards" in local his
tory, and whenever the skies frown
and the thermometer falls during this
solstice month there is cause for dis
turbance of mind. More than thirty
five years ago Washington was the
scene of a, violent visitation in March,
the eve of the Inauguration of Presi
dent Taft, this city was practically cut
off from communication and disas-
trously enveloped. Only a few sea.
sons ago Washingtonians who had
gone South to avoid the rigors of the
Winter season returned late in March
to find the city sleeted and shivering.
Still, there Is consolation in the fact
that u March storm cannot become
chronic. 1t may do some damage, but
it is soon over. Days of warmth are
close at hand. Buds are already swell
ing on the trees and shrubs. The
parks are showing their pristine tints
Of Spring. Some harm may come to
the foliage from violent drops in tenn
perature The cherry trees may be
robbed of some of their beauty. But
there is no such anxiety over Il March
disturbance as over one that occurs
III January or February.
Generally speaking. the Winter has
been mild. There has been actually
but one heavy snow, and. to the in
sxpressible delight of the community,
that was handled effectively by the
municipal organization. There have
been some cold days, but many mild
ones. The average of sunshine has
been high. SO let March have its final
fling. 1t will have it anyway, what
ever may be felt on the subject

been finished, the next task Is to
convert the new land into park.
To date $16s,OOO has been appropri-
ated for park development between
the Anacostia and Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. bridges, and the appropriation
bill as reported contains the item or
$4,000 for continuing park work on
new land between those bridges anc
for beginning park work on the new
land between the Anacostia Bridge
and Boiling Field. Here are two
items in the appropriation bill which
enacted would mean progress in the
Eastern Branch development. One is
the use of part of the appropriation
at the discretion of the chief of en-
gineers, for reclamation work above
Benning Bridge and the other the use
of money for continuing park making
above the Anacostia Bridge and be-
ginning park making below that
bridge.

Double Deckers and Publicity.

Sympathy is to be felt and ex-
pressed for those residents of the
comparatively narrow streets of Wash
ington on which double-dec busses
are operated, and who complain that
they have no privacy in their homes
short Of drawing all window shades
to prevent the ''peeping" of passen-
gers on the upper levels of these We.
hicles. At the same time it may be
suggested that this is not a wholly
novel situation. When the elevated
railroads were established in New
York the occupants of the upper stories
of buildings along the lines of these
new routes of travel were greatly
distressed by the publicity to which
they were exposed. AS time passed
they either adjusted to the condition
by keeping their windows shaded
when necessity occurred or moved
away to less exposed situations. Busi-
ness developed along the lines of the
elevated roads, to the gradual ex-
clusion of residences.
It is not to be suggested that the
residents of the narrow streets on
which the two-story busses are oper-
ated will have to move away. That
would be a harsh and cruel alterna-
tive. If the double.deckers are main.
tanned on such routes the people who
live along them must meet the situa.
ton by adopting protective measures.
But is it necessary that such busses
be run along routes that involve SO
embarrassing a condition for resi-
dents? Or, If they are so run, must
the upper works be so arranged as
to keep the occupants from peep
ing?
That question is before the Public
Utilities Commission for consideration.
The routing of busses is one of diff
Guilty. Many considerations enter into
the equation. First Of all is the pro.
vision of the utmost accommodation
for the travelling public. Next is the
adoption of the most satisfactory
route for both riders and operating
company. Not every bus line can be
traced through broad streets, unless
there is to be congestion Of traffic

Help Sibley to Help.

For the first time in its long anu
honorable history, Sibley Memorlai
Hospital has appealed to the puplic
for aid in the prosecution of its work.
For thirty-two years it has been rem
dering the National Capital ana It's
environs a humanitarian service of in
calculabIe benefit, and for thirty-two
wears the denomination which estab-
lished the institution, WHICH maintains
and administers it, has paid the differ
ence between receipts and eXpendi-
lures.
The hospital will soon be the proud
possessor of new maternity building
which cost $250,000. This it receives
as the result of bequest. When fin
ished this Spring it will be one of the
largest and best equipped structures
of its kind in the East. To complete
and to equip this new home for in
coming citizens Of the District and
their mothers will cost $325,000 extra,
and the hospital authorities, in view
of the emergency and of the conse-
quent benefits to the community, have
asked the people of Washington for
this difference.
The campaign to raise this sum be-
gan last Friday night. 1t will end sat
urday night. So far the drive is not
up To it's schedule. If the public does
not respond the hospital cannot bridge
the gap, and the public will, in the
end. be the sufferer. While not
charity institution" Sibley right now
is spending approximately $4,000 each
year treating persons unable to pay.
and. moreover. receives no govern
mental appropriation.
District physicians to the number
of l32 have formally and unhesitat-
ingly indorsed the campaign, and
have, furthermore. formed their own
committee TO raise funds among
themselves. The spirit Of Christian
service actuating the Sibley nurses
has been exemplified by generous con-
tributions from that very source. OF
the 6,294 patients treated within the
walls OF the hospital last year, the
Methodists numbered 1886, while of
the twenty other faiths represented
the Roman Catholics were Il close sec
ond, with 1919. Denominational lines
have, up to the present, played part
in the support of the institution, but
play none in the service it gives. Prot
estants Catholic and Jew alike all re-
ceive the same skillful and whole
hearted attention.
Since 1912 Washington has grown
from a city of 100000 to one of half
million. Yet there are no more hos
pitfalls here now than then. Nor are
there immediate prospects of any
more, and it behooves the public which
uses them to see to it that those that
do exist are as big. as good and as free
from financial embarrassment as pos
sible. Four hundred ardent workers
this week are giving their time and
their energies to make this single cam
paign a success. Gifts ranging from
the equipment of the big new nursery
down through the endowment of me-
mortal rooms to very small amounts
will be received thankfully and used
wisely. Help Sibley to Help"' is a
slogan adopted by the campaign COM
mittee. 1t is well worth needing.

ary without q fort and without a SEN
tinel, ter more than century Of
peace.
If what they term American jingo-
ISM insists on raising the issue of an
"All-American" Canal, then Canadians
will insist upon their own project OF
an "All-Canadian" route, including a
ian Bay in upper Lake Huron, giving
direct connection with Lakes Superior
and Michigan.
Furthermore, the advocates of the
|American-Canadian route point to the
fact that the Oswego-Hudson River
Canal does not reach the Great Lakes
at all, except Lake Ontario, and would
necessitate another canal around Nj
agara Falls to reach into Lake Erie
at q cost of $150,000, 900, in addition
to the $505 900, 900 required to deepen
the wego-Hudson Canal. The De-
troit River channel runs entirely on
Canadian territory, for when the river
was dredged it was found more prac-
ticable to dredge the channel east of
the international boundary. That river
would have to be canalized to complete
an "all-American" route.
X y X X
The OSwego-HudSon Canal, zoo feet
wide, would require slow speed, and
when vessels with a beam of 55 to so
feet passed they must slow down to
avoid the wash, with danger of col
lision or stranding. On the st.
Lawrence River all vessels would
travel at full ocean speed, except in
the 25 miles of the Welland Canal and
the canals between Montreal and
Ogdensburg. At present there are 20
locks in the Welland Canal. but when
completed there will be only Z locks
to cover the descent of 325 feet be-
tween Lakes Erie and Ontario.
Dams will so raise the levels of the
ST. Lawrence River as to drown out
Lachine Rapids. thereby eliminating
Lachine and Galops rapids and re-
ducing the 70 miles of canalization to
only 33 miles.
The advocates of the Canadian.
American route point to the fact that
their route will develop more than
! 900 900 horsepower. to be used to
create electricity, while the New York
canal produces none. The entire cost
ect is only $270,000. 900, which is con-
trasted with $655, ,000,0 for the New
York scheme, even after New York
State unloads it's $230,000.000 Barge
Canal, free, upon the Federal Govern
ment.

AS all parties agree upon the para
mount necessity of opening the Great
Lakes to ocean traffic. whatever the
choice of route, there is little to be
said upon that phase of the subject
that is not trite. 1t is conceded that
it is feasible with ~ or 80 foot chan
