DEJALMA EARNED SHADE
OVER IRA JOHNSON
BY Johnny Walton

1t is evident that the scribes of the
Twin Cities could not agree on deci-
sions of two bouts of the boxing show
at Kenwood Armory in Minneapolis
Tuesday night, as some gave deci-
sions to one or the other or called
it draw, but with fairness to all,
Dejalma and Sarmiento should have
had decisions of their respective
bouts. AS it does not rob either File
gel or johnson of the credit they es-
tablished, as both bouts will receive
the glad welcome of the fans as a
return engagement.
Dejalma could have eliminated all
doubts had be been accustomed to
the professional distance of three
minute rounds; he needs no informa-
ton that it takes more "gas'' to COW
ed a 16-foot ring than it does a 12-
foot with only two minutes of &C
ton, and in the future it is hoped
that he will train accordingly. He
showed well until the second round
when johnson butted him low while
making a miserable effort to duck.
This slowed Bill up, but he rallied
again in the third and had Ira hang
ing on, but was himself in bad way
for "gas" to put over the final punch.
However, Eddy Marks is not salts
fed and has asked that Bill be given
a chance to put over decisive vic
tory, and has been promised a return
on the 26th on the st. Paul card.

Frenchman, in Flood,
Saves Mattress First

Paris.-The recent floods have pro-
duced abundant illustration of the fact
that the first household article which
the Frenchman rescues when his home
is threatened with inundation is the
mattress. Strangely enough, the b.
cycle comes second.
Hardly an exception to this order
was noted by correspondent who
watched boatmen moving the inhabi-
tants from one of the Paris suburbs.
The women were dry eyed and stern
visaged as they were taken from their
flooded homes, but obviously were
laboring under great emotional stress.
"This is getting mOnOtonous," said
one woman who was forced to move
to escape the floods in 1910, 1920 and
1924. "This sort of thing might be
bearable once in fifty wears, but four
times in fifteen years is a little too
much"

natural habits of the rodent, but the
rat also shuns light. Some trained
white rats were procured. Their coats
were dyed brown, and they were then
sprinkled with theatrical powder to

with dark powder. But the rats rel

Only by frequently stopping the
camera and powdering the rats noses
was 1t possible to finish the picture.

A device recently developed by one
Of the department camera men Is a
so-called "time lapse motion picture
camera, which automatically photo
graphs the development Of growing
plants, from seed to final growth. The
machine may be set to make single eI-
posures from ten seconds to one min

accurate pictorial record Of the growth
of plants. The Matching Of insects may
also be recorded pictorially through all
stages of development.

by weaving the educational material
into an orthodox movie plot.
The departments success in doing
this has been such that many Of the

people. Over 200 pictures have been
made by the department.

1ney were not, however, convinced
for they have become more and more
skeptical as to the value of clues as
more than a week Of work has prov
ed fruitless in determining whether
Mrs. Houck was killed, committed sui
eide or ran away. The new clue came
in the form Of a telegram from S. I.

District Judge Lowe Tells
Sheriff Places Could Not

Minot. n. D.. Dec. a7.-LP)--Pad-

sorts in Minot on the day before
Christmas, placed there in a campaign
by States Attorney Fl. f. johnson to
"dry up" the city. today lie unused in

order of District Judge John c. Lowe

ly donned their coats and departed
when the sheriff and his deputies APP
peared with the padlocks, are again
occupying the premises, with seven
Of them at liberty under bonds charg-
ed with violation Of the prohibition
laws.
Liquor Not Found
The padiocking proceedings were
instituted after undercovcr men ems
ployed by the states attorney had OBJ
tanned evidence Of alleged liquor law
violations. Searches which were sub
sequently made failed to reveal liquor,
and officials believed that the pro-
posed raids had been slipped off" in
advance.
In order to have padlocked the
places, it would have been necessary
to find liquor at the time the searches
were made, officials say.
The injunctional proceedings which
have been instituted in district court
are directed against the individuals
and not against the places which they
occupied, as a result of failure to find
booze when the searches were made.
Immediately after receiving infor-
nation from the district court that
the alleged liquor resorts could not
legally be padlocked, Sheriff A. S.
Spicher and his deputies removed the
padlocks. The sheriff had locked the
places, he said, under instructions
from the states attorneys office.

MANY ATTEND
COOK FUNERAL
Rev. Paul S. Wright Officiates
at Service, Held SUM-
day Afternoon

Funeral services for the late S. D.
Cook, nearly 81 years old and a
resident of Bismarck for - years,
were held yesterday afternoon at the
Webb funeral parlors with large
group Of friends present. Interment
took place in Fairview cemetery,
Reverend Paul. S. Wright spoke
from the text: LET not your hearts
be troubled; neither let them be
afraid" and went on to show how
Christ was pre-eminently fitted for
comforting those in sorrow. He de-
clared that it was surprising that
Christ should have uttered those
words on the eve of His own cruel
fixion and death and how He, with
all his sorrows, should at that time
have comforted others.
How Christ fitted himself for the
task of comforter was told by Rever-
end Wright, who explained how, when
He came on earth, He did not hold
himself aloof from the other humans
but made himself like US, with the
exception of sin, Of which He had
none.
Christ was able to comfort others
in the matter of death, said Reverend
Wright because the Saviour alone in
the matter Of death could speak from
sure knowledge, for He himself had
experienced it and came back to
comfort the world.
Pail bearers were F. L. Conklin
