FIGHT FILMS BANNED.
Virginia Board Refuses Plea OF
Promoters.

RICHMOND. Va. December IA GP
Application of promoters of the
Dempsey Tunney fight film for a
license to show the film in Virginia
was refused yesterday by the State
Board of Motion Picture Censors on
the advice Of Attorney General John
r. Saunders.
Evan Chesterman, chairman of the
board. said that the application was re
fused because a Federal statute for.
bids transportation of fight films inter.
state, and the attorney general and
the board decided that to grant Il
license would violate the spirit of the
Federal law.
The films are in the State and were
shown privately before the board and
several officials today.

Scientist Declares.

The world supply of gold necessary

Lionel 3. Eddy of the University OF
Chicago told the American Economic
Association yesterday afternoon.
In order to keep prices stable. PROF.
Eddy said. an annual increase in the
supply OF about 81 per cent is neces'
sary. but this appears impossible to
secure under present conditions. The
amount of gold on hand in 1928. he
said. was $4,000 .000. 900, and at the
present rate of increase there will he

Tax reforms. he said. never will

which sees the advantage of preserv.

"ldealism Is Nuisance"
Thus. he pointed out. the socialist
would throw all the tax burden on

that the overhurdened classes even.
