PHILADELPHIA. December 8 CAP).
Jack Dempsey showed symptoms
of poisoning the day after his fight
with Gene Tunney. says DIR. Abe
Baron, examining physician for the
State Athletic Commission.
The poisoning could have occurred
through food conta mination or local
infection, the physician thinks.
when / examined Dempsey the
night of the fight there was no
evidence of temperature, said DR..
Baron. "Still l was surprised at his
condition.
"He was in much better shape two
weeks before the battle than he was
on the night of the fight, when there
was no local evidence of poisoning
Il have examined hundreds of
fighters before their bouts and
Dempseys condition appeared all
right to me to carry him through Il
10-round battle.
Il was called to the hotel where
Dempsey was staying the day after
the fight. l went there to place
stitches in the cut over his eye and
not to treat him for poisoning. ]
closed the cut over the eye and at
the time | noticed maucles or
papules on the lower part of his
face.
II later attended Dempsey at
Atlantic City and these macules and
papuleS were in greater evidence.
These indicated to me that there was
disturbance in Dempsey's system.
II might explain Dempsey's case by
saying that symptoms before the
fight were those Of a person who
was developing a disorder that took
two or three days before it made
itself fully evident.
IL could not say What was the
nature of the infection that Demp-
sey suffered. but certainly there were
local signs Of organic disturbances.
Just how Dempsey's condition
affected him in the ring l could not
say. l know that he was concerned

The Man Behind
The Chrysler Six

From the Review of Reviews, March
1920
The record of Walter r. Chrysler.
as told by w. A. +. Jones in Every
body's, is one of the prose epics Of
American industry. Chrysler rose
from the ranks.
At eighteen he built himself "A
steam locomotive, forty-eight inches
long, complete even to the air brakes
aud ran it on track in the back
yard. The lathe on which is was
built he also designed and construct
ed. Shortly thereafter he wanted a
shot gun. He could not buy onc--so
he made it.
Trained as youth in the Union
Pacific railroad shops, Mr.. Chrysler
ran the industrial gauntlet to works
manager of the American Locomotive
Company ut Pittsburgh; and then left
to go in as successor to Mr.. Nash at
the Buick company. he had increased
production from about thirty cars
day to over five hundred. and the
profits to General Motors had jump
ed to nearly S5O,OOO,O00 year. Then
Mr. purant called him to take charge
Of al. production in all General Mo
tors units. In 1920 he went to whip
the WHY'S Overland into shape. Then
came q hurry call to save the Max
we'll Motor Company from the rocks,
and within four years he had pro-
duced new cur under his own name
that has proved exceedingly popular
Fhe most interesting part Of the
story is the statement OF Mr.. Chry'
slerss views on men and manage.

FARM PROSPERITY CONTINUES TOBE
DEPENDENT ON CASH GRAIN SITUATION

Department Of Agriculture, suggests
that price increases are not to be ex-
pcctcd in 1926. Farmers intentions
to plant this spring, which the United
States Department of Agriculture
COMPLIED, were released on March 10.
For commodities Of interest to pro-
ducers in this district, changes as
compared with actual paintings last
year were reported as follows: Il
decrease Of 1S per cent in spring
wheat; increases of 4.6 per cent in
oats, ST per cent in barley, Alb per
cent in white potatoes, 4-1O Of per
cent in flax; and about the same
acreage Of corn.
"Total livestock holdings of all
kinds on the farms in this district
declined during the year 1925. How
ever. there was an increase for sheep
and lambs. Wool production IN 1926
was greater than in 1924. and ow.
ing to the increased number of sheep
prospective wool production should be
greater. 1t is noteworthy that the
number Of milk cows increased
whereas there was decline for The
whole United States. These in
creascs were ovcr-balanccd by dc
clincs in the holdings of cattle 0thc1

the feed situation in 1Y24-25. Live

Appeals for assistance IN obtain

quirirg motorists to stop at railroad
grade crossings where stop signs
have been placed has been asked Of
the railroads by the state railroad
board which is conducting Il safe
crossing" campaign.
Tie request followed a report by Il
500 line division superintendent that
fs auto drivers ignored the stop signs
AT 500 line crossings in Il single day.
The railroad commission WAS furnish
ed with a list Of the license numbers
Of the machines but since some were
1928 licenses and others were licenses
issued during the present year no
adequate chcckup could be made.
In it's appeal the railroad board
asked railroad officials to enlist the

to observe the law. They are asked to
report to local authorities the license
numbers Of automobiles whose driv-
ers ignore the stop signs mt dan

TO the drivers the fact that continued

asked by the board to cooperate b!
pointing cut to careless drivers whose
names are reported to them, the fac'
that the law is intended for the pro

should be observed. In case OF re.
pcated violations by the same in

be taken by the board, according t.
Fay Harding, who is giving close at
tention to the work of preventing
crossing accidents.
! TO Educate Drivers
"The only real way to eliminate tn
crossing accident menace Is to elimin
ate the crossings" said Harding
But in many instances it ism
feasible to do this. Our aim is t.
educate auto-drivers to observe tn
law and thereby protect themsclve

The only year in which an actual
operating loss was encountered was
the first, the audit shows, succeed
ing wears having shown consistent
operating gain, the maximum being
Sl72,559.S7. On the other hand, red
ink figures in the report shows that
there has been an annual net loss
from operations, ranging IRON
maximum of Sl47.7G0.53 for the first
year to $l6.4O3.l5 in 1928.
Cost Increases
The cost per barrel, the audit
shows, has been steadily increasing
since the mill was placed in opera
ton, For the first period 1t was
S5.67. In 1923 when the mill reached
the peak of its production per day II
was SG.O96: for 1924 in was Sb.s6'
ard for 1925 Ss.aaS. Increased prices
for wheat is shown as the reason Tor
the steady upward trend. For the
first period wheat cost Sl.773 per
barrel Of flour; in 1928 it was S5.332
in 1924 it was $6.053 and in 1924 II
was S7.642. Operating expense reach
cd it's maximum Of 52.l cents pei
bushcl during the first few months
The nirimum Of BIG cents was reach
