gram for Conference

By JEAN ELIOT

EEHE old axiom, "How small the
world isl becomes truer and
truer as aero travel cuts down dis
tances and the telegraph, the tele-
phone and radio loop up the far
places of the earth.
Consequently, international COM
munications have an important
place in the agenda of world dis
cussion. The international radio
telegraph conference, which will
open here on October 4 for a six
weeks run" will mark one step
in the development of closer con-
facts; and another will be celebrated
this afternoon when President Cool
idge will exchange greetings with
President Gales of Mexico to in
augurate the long-distance telephone
service between Washington and
Mexico City.
For this epoch making event

Pan American Union in Washington

City-to listen in over head phones
to the long distances exchanges.

graph Company and the Interna-

DEMPSEY SEEk|NG
 THE OLD IDOLA7RY
Jack Has Suffered Since His
 Defeat Last Year by lunney
BY JIMMY POWERS

New York. July 9-The idols Of sport die hard
 For years Jack Dempsey stood on 8 pedestal He rocked dizzily once. ' One hectic, -tingling night 8 hairy-chested bull-like man battered him through the ropes. That was s Luis Firpo. Then came the inev- -itable crash. Another night, murky night and rain-lashed canvas was splashed with crimson blotchos from bleeding nose, a puffed eye } and pair Of split lips. Gene Tun- ney did that
 The shock chilled millions of fans.
 Now is the comeback. Nine out Of ten persons this writer has talked to here want to see Dempsey re- gain his pedestal. They want to think of that horrible scene in the shadows of the Sesqui stadium as just vague nightmare.
 And so We have Jack with us again-bronzed with a deep coat of California sunshine, eyes bright and clear, manner brisk and confident. a slap on the back and 8 chcery word. He looks like the Dempsey Of old.
 Here is the tragic undertonc of our interview. It gives a little in- sight into the heart of the man who was once, 1t seemed, idolized by every kid and every kids father in every city block in America.
 You don't know what a year I spent since that thing at Philly" unused Jack, flashing darkly with
New Britain herald., 1927-07-09

the memory of 1t all. Eyes star ing me in hotel lobbies. on trains, in the restaurants wherever l went. All pitying me. all thinking You poor sucker. you
 It was enough 10 break the spirit of any man. I'm not a broken down machine I'm a man who held the championship of the world and lost it in a single fight, out pointed for the title.
 But I've had plenty of time to weigh my friends. I've got friends now who are REAL. That bunch of hangers-o who robbed me and bled me dry and kicked me over are gone-and say, I'm glad l know my pals now who are REGULAR"
 He grinned and playfully tousled the head if his trainer. Jerry the Greek, who thinks there's nobody in the woild like the chompeen.'
 "Sharkey? I hear he's good. l hear he's better than Tunney. Fine! When I beat him 1t will make the Tunney fight seem lots easier.
 ''They say he's going to put the eye on me- Now, that's rich. Pm pretty good at that eye business myself if you will remember.
 T know when I'm right. I never brag. I just wasn't right last Sep temher. If had to go couple of more rounds then l believe Gene
 b,vo L.N0CEED ME OFT"
 And Jack looked very serious as he said that and for moment he must have permitted himself to re- view the painful debacle. Then he grinned.
 I'm out to win that title back. I know I'm in good shape. I'd never risk the humiliation of worse beating for all the money in the world. I don't need it that bad. But I'm going to win. Theren be no 'ex' in front of my name next fall. Remember that"
 So there's Dempsey for you. A popular idol hungry for the plaudits of the roaring mob who cheered themselves hoarse every time he thrust his scowling head be- tween the ropes and every time he left them. Every time, that is, but once.
 Hope, it is written, springs eter- nal in the human breast.
 And you can't hang a man for trying.

Garter Skirt Starts
 Argument in England

London, July (P-Should the garter skirt be fastened above or be- low the knee?
 This question is under discussion among West End modistes. The row began at the spring drapery exhibition and has been gaining force from day to day.
 Some women insist the new pantaloon-like skirt is vulgarly mannish at best and should by all means be made in such way that the knees are concealed. They have the support of the dress crea- tors who have always insisted that extremely short skirts lack the length of fine to be really beauti- full.
