TUNNEY READS AS
 PART OF TRAINING
Challenger Peruses Better Glass
 Fiction in Rest Hours

Speculator, N. Y, Aug. 20. Pl- Gene Tunney reads in the woods as he prepares for his championship match with Jack Dempsey. Neither the possibility of court action nor the switch to Philadelphia inter ferred with the challenger's course of reading.
 It was just as well. perhaps, that the fight did not get into the courts, for the library Tunney brought to Speculator contained no law books. He reads better class fiction. He went into the woods today with a book under his arm and when he re- at least 200 pages. When has done his regular daily roadwork, he takes his book to the shores of Lake Pleasant and frequently does not emerge from his retreat until time to go into the ring for his after noon workout.
 A series of encounters with the two bags, one big and slow, the other light and fast, rope skipping, shadow boxing and six rounds of boxing makes 1t another day. The boxing program has suffered for a few days on account of a dearth of sparring partners, but. this situation has been remedied, Billy Vadabuck, Jersey City light heavyweight boxed with Tunney for the first time today. Johnny Crosse will come from New York to take his turn next week.
 Only Lou Fink, his trainer, knows Tunney's exact weight but is not far from the 190 pounds he expects to weigh when he faces Dempsey.
 The challenger is being forced to decline many invitations of a social nature. Wealthy summer residents of this resort country have invited him to dinner, the invitation being both formal and informal affairs.
 Tunney or Trainer Fink have tactfully suggested 10 the wood-be hosts and hostesses that accepting of such invitations would not be conductive to the best interests of training.
 This leaves Gene alone with his book.

CARELESS CONGRESS IS
 BLAMED IN LAW DISPUTE
Judge Comments in Statute Relative To Permanent" Injunction in
 Liquor Gases

St. Louis, Aug. 20. P-Federal Judge Paris today blamer careless ness of congress. in the drafting of laws as the reason for a majority decision here Wednesday in the U. S. circuit court of appeals which ruled that injunctions against Vol stead act Violators are not perpetual but are effective for one year only
 The ruling, to which Judge Paris dissented, reversed a decision by Judge Van Velkenburg punishing Charles G. Webb, Kensas City Mo, roadhouse keeper, for contempt of court in alleged selling of liquor more than two years after he had been enjoined.
 Judge Paris said: Undoubtedly it was the intention of Congressman Volstead to write into the Volstead act a copy of the state laws which have existed for years in some 15 or 16 states to abate liquor nuisances long prior to the passage of the 18th amendment.
 Examination of these state statutes show in almost every in- stance the word permanent used with reference to injunctions. Obvi- ously Nolstead's scissors slipped and cut off the word permanent which was perhaps the last word of a sentence.
 "This is not the first time such a thing has happened in drafting laws. Without the word 'per1na- nent,' interpretation of this section, of course, is open to argument, while with the word as used in nearly every state statute, there could be no arguments"
