in ten rounds, Dempsey is grimiy

holder shall again rest with him.
Already the comeback campaign OF
former champion, never before
successful in the history of the ring,
has carried the 'NIanassa Mauler''
past the foremost of the younger con,
tenders. On July 81, in the Yankee
stadium. Dempsey unleashed enough
of the deadly punching power and
grim courage of his greatest days to
knock out Jack Sharkey, the Boston
sailor, in seven rounds.
But the truest adage of the ring
"They never come back"--looms in
the path of Dempsey's realization of
a great ambition, and at the age
of 80, when athletes in other branches
of sport are at the peak of their
games, the hoodoo of precedent al
ready Is pointing out that every
modern champion, with the exception
of Jack Johnson, has tried to regain
the heightS--and failed.
Johnson, in legal difficulties, passed
from the fistic scene when Jess Will
lard knocked him out in 26 rounds
at Havana in 1915. No encourage
ment ever was given his plans for
a comeback.
But Johnson's conqueror. the huge
Potawatomie farmer, returned to the
ring four years after Dempsey crushed
him IN three rounds in 1919. willard

but he was 40 years old and burly
Luis Firpo spiked Che comeback effort
with an eight round knockout a little
later.
The comeback virus, gnawing in
the blood of former champions who
refused to accept one defeat as con-
elusive, brought Jim Corbett back to
fight Jim Jeffries for the title after

FRENCH BABY BAND

PARIS, P-Ninety orphans form a
brass band that has won much praise
at many public ceremonies.
The children, some of them no bigger
than the horns they blow, are from
five to 10 years old. They have been
trained in the st. Lille
orphanage by good conductors.
Dressed in white, with assistants to
hold the drums and straps to help
support the larger instruments, the
band is a feature wherever it goes.
They won much credit when they
played before musicians meeting.

DAVID THOMPSON MADE IMPORTANT
SURVEY OF NORTHWEST, LIBBY SAYS

the Northwest company post ON
the Assiniboine river February 3. He
passed through what is now Winni-
peg, noting the ruins of Verendrye's
old post, and reached the present site
Of Pembina. Here the Northwest
company agent in 1897 had built the
first trading post in North Dakota.
After surveying this site Thompson
passed up the Red river to the grand
forks" Of the Red and the Red Lake
rivers. Passing up the Red Lake
river he found a post of the North
west company located at the mouth
OF the Clear river, near the site Of
the present city of Red Lake Falls,
Minnesota. The Northwest company
had instructed him to locate the port
ages by which their traders could
pass from the waters Of the Red
river to those of the Mississippi and
from thence to the streams flowing
into Lake Superior.
Located Mississippi's Source
Thompson stayed in the vicinity Of
Northern Minnesota long enough to
locate what he called the source Of
the Mississippi, Turtle Lake. On
June he found his way back to
Grand Portage. the field headquar-
tiers Of the Northwest company on
the northern shore Of Lake Super
Tor. His careful observations and
his accurate maps enabled his en-
ployers to plant trading posts along
the line of his surveys and later to
capture from their rivals. the Hud-
sons Bay company, all the rich fur
trade Of the region east of the Red
river. From this time until 1912
he spent his time exploring and map

katchewan, in the Rocky Mountains

Advantages of
Standard Parts
Is Demonstrated

Eight members Of the Washington
section, Society Of Automotive Engi-
neers, demonstrated the advantages
Of standard autom olive parts recently
by assembling n half-ton Chevrolet
chassis in a record time of six and
one-half minutes, in competition with
six other teams similarly engaged.
The stunt was feature of the So
ciety's annual summer meeting Of
French Lick, Ind.
While the assembled delegates de-
rived much amusement from watch
ing the seven teams vie for a record
in line of work with which they
were unfamiliar, except in theory, the
performance also carried its lesson
to many of the watchers. But for
the participating parts, the as
sembly might have required hours
instead of minutes. The elapsed time
was strikingly short, in view of the
fact that none of the assemblers were
connected with Chevrolet nor ia
miliar with it's mechanical details.
Three of the winning team were
engineers Of the United States Blu
reau of Standards.
The slowest team required only q
few minutes longer than the fastest
and its hurry added amusement to
the contest. As test Of each teams
work, each car had to be run five
times around looa in the nearby
driveway before the results were
certified
The seven trucks were shipped to
French Lick from the Chevrolet fac
tory at Flint, Mich. Such parts as
the distributor assembly, the wir-
ing system, gasoline tank, carbure-
tor, front and rear wheel, and
various other units, together with q
miscellany Of bolts, nuts and screws,
were then removed and tossed into
boxes in the pits adjacent to the
assembly space. Equipped only with
two sets of tools such as are fur
nished with each Chevrolet truck,
each team had then to select the
parts and put them in their proper
place.
THE quick assembly Job perform
ed at French Lick offers hint as
to the reason for the Chevrolet
trucks popularity" said MIR. Davis
OF Capital Chevrolet Co.
Trucks are business vehicles. and
