MIR. Tunney Outfights Mr.,

Radio, telegraph, telephone, aero
planes, flying ships, runners, voices,
mails, trains, boats, horses, mules,
oxen and chariots of various natures
and kinds were worked overtime last
Thursday night the 22nd spreading
abroad the news of the Chicago con-
test. After sundry and diverse
moves, sidesteps, blows and knock
downs, misses and hits it appears
that Mr.. Dempsey lost a portion OF
his ability to locate his foe sufficient
ly to deliver the deadly punch that
was to drunken Mr.. Tunney. Mr..
Tunney collects million "bucks", II
is reported while Mr.. Dempsey has to
be contented with small amount Of
four hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, in addition to a good beating up
at the hands of Mr.. Tunney, scholar,
gentleman and soldier.
All this brings to mind one John
Arthur johnson. johnson was a
colorful figure, quite as colorful as
Mr.. Dempsey. Yet it is not on rec
ord that Mr.. johnson, who in his
prime could probably have whipped
both Mr.. Dempsey and Mr.. Tunney
together, ever got within reaching
distance of one-tenth that sum. John
Arthur was a fighter. He had to
fight two battles always; one with
the promoters and the public and one
with his opponent. John Arthur also
fought for principle: few people
would admit it; probably John Ar
thur himself would deny it If he was
asked. The people all went astray
looking at the color of Jacks sweet
hearts. Had johnson been able to
win his battle with the promoters,
no such purses as a million dollars
would be held up today. Also many
a good fighter who has no chance
and never will have a chance to dis
play his fistic wares, would have been
able to get some of the money paid
by the fans. johnson refused to have
manager and promoter. He
would be his own manager and pro-
moter and deal direct with the people.
The same principle which the people
demand in other things, to wit, the
elimination of the ''middleman", the
"Tex Richards and the trusts" was
defeated when johnson went out at
Havana, knocked out not by Willard,
but bv race prejudice, engineered by
the fight trust. Had John Arthur
worked with the promoters and man.
ayers he would have lasted but re-
ceived little money. The "color line'
will now take the front seat with Mr..
George Godfrey, playing solo en-
titled "You gene, please open that
DOOR"

MILFORD LADIES START
SUNDAY ON LONG TRIP

Next Sunday a party composed OF
the Misses Alice Brown, Mable Gr1f-
fifth, Irene Cook and Miss Browns
uncle, Oliver Brown, of Norristown'
Pa, will leave Milford for a two
months trip by automobile. They
will visit California and many other
places in. the northwest before re-
turning to Delaware.
Miss Brown is one of the en-
ployees of the First National Bank
of Milford, and about a year ago
won an automobile in subscription
contest which the Every Evening put
on. Miss Brown with Miss Mable
Griffith with two others made a trip
to Florida and Cuba two years ago,
and had, a delightful experience.
Some of the young men are a bit
anxious over this trip, fearing that
Hollywood may have attractions that
may hold the bevy of handsome
young women in capito; of movie
dom, and leave Mr.. Brown to re-
turn alone. It's a safe bet that they
each recognize that their native
State of Delaware has more for
them than the much heralded scenes
and doings of the great western
country. Their smiling faces Will
brighten up the corners and the
front of the First National Bank in
Milford about the first of July next.

EMS are alive and their colors
vary with their vibrations. The
violet amethyst. for example, has
a vibratory rate of 10000. .0OO.-
0O0.O00. (trillions) per second. or
nearly twice that OF some OF the
red stones.
1t is in this fact of vibration that
the scientific gem expert finds sup
port for ancient traditions concern
ing fortunate and unfortunate
stones. According to recent
theory. the early savants may have
OWNED by intuition and confirmed
by observation the sympathy ex-
listing between persons and things
vibrating on the same plane, and
applied to jewels their inspired
philosophy.
The amethyst, symbolizing power
and light, was assigned to the
zodiacal sign Aquarius, through
which the sun passes in February.
Astrologically the wearer OF the
amethyst is under the protection Of
three planets-Jupiter. ruling spir-
itual power and material wealth,
Venus, planet of love and art, and
Mars. representing dynamic energy.
Aquarius Is the universal sign,
governing the violet ray, electricity
and all secrets of the air, as well
as the brotherhood of man. The

AUTO ASSOCIATION URGES
INSPECTION OF BRAKES
Continued from first paEsl

dents every year attest to the fact
that cars have not stopped in time
Statistics show that a large percen-
tage of all accidents is due directly
to ineffective brakes.
Brakes should be maintained in
repair always. If they are not
right have them inspected by a
man who knows his business. If
they need adjustment, have the work
done Immediately. Don't take a
chance today with the mental reser-
vation of having the adjustment
made tomorrow.
"If the lining is worn thin, have
the brakes refined without delay. If
it is glazed and the rivets stick
through so that they bear on the
brake drum, have them countersunk
below the surface of the lining.
MANY times you save the cost OF
refining by having adjustments
made at regular intervals. But re-
gardless of cost, make sure the
brakes are in proper working order
Money spent on brakes is money
wisely invested"

the committee was created by our
board of governors, numerous per-
sons, all of them able men, have
been considered for the position.
The decision of the special commit
tee to invite DR.. Bomberger was un-
animOus, and ratification by the
executive committee and board of
governors of the association was
likewise unanimous.
mo mans services were ever
more eagerly desired by the rank
and file of our association members
and by the organized agricultural
interests of the Peninsula than are
the services of DR.. Bomberger-and
we are intensely pleased at the end
of six weeks difficult negotiations to
realize that the Peninsula is going
to have his expert thought and at
tention on its most outstanding
problem.
"Dr. Bomberger has had a broad
and valuable experience in agricul-
tural lines. He is recognized not only
in the United States. but abroad, as
an authority on practically every
phase Of agricultural and norticul-
tural marketing. He has specialized
in marketing methods; and at the
University of Maryland is recognized
as one of the most valuable men as
sociated with that institution.
Because of his insight and close
connection with conditions on the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula, the associa-
ton officials feel that his services TO
the Peninsula will be invaluable"

Prisoner Slightly Worried
When Chief Justice James Pen
newill asked him if he had anything
to say why sentence should not be
imposed upon him. He replied that
he had not.
The sentence seemed to cause him
to shudder and twist for a few min
utes, but finally he regained his COM
posure.
Satisfied that the ends of justice
had been met, the throng in the
court room applauded when the SEN
tence was imposed, presenting a
scene probably never before wit
messed in Sussex County Court.
The crime was one of the most
revolving in the criminal annals in
lower Delaware, and is only equalled
by the case of Harry Butler who
was charged with a similar offense,
and was hanged at Georgetown on
February 26, last year.
Justice Moved Quickly For Skinner

clock Tuesday morning and the
