Tho light heavyweight champion
ship bout between Jimmy Slattery Of
Buffalo. N. Y. and Make Rosen-
bloom Of New York, will be held to-
night instead Of last night. The
threatening weather of yesterday
caused the promoters to call the
scrap off at noon and their judge
ment was indicated last night when
it started to pour.
The bout tonight Is recognized by
the National Boxing Association as
one for the light heavyweight cham

and only New York holding out. it
seems that the winner of the fight
will be the champion of the world

ciaring that he could not do business
with a government which held such
views. Partly because OF its large
holdings in Mexico, the Standard OIL
Company of New Jersey sided with
the Royal Dutch Shell. To be con-
sixtent It could not condone Soviet
tactics with one hand and logically
protest alleged similar tactics by
Mexico with the other. In the mean
time the Soviet supply OF oil went
begging until the New York compa-
MES snapped some OF IL up without at
tempting to question the political
philosonhies OF the Russian form or
government. IL II Is ethical to sell
cotton to Russia, it was held. 1t is as
ethical to buy oil from Russia, ana
oil bought from Russia can he placed
on the Near Eastern market much
cheaper than can oil produced In the
United States and shipped all the
way across the seas to the Near East.
Sir Henri further protested that the
action of the New York companies
was unpatriotic, in that Russian oil
would replace American oil In the
Near East, but this argument was
taken with a grain of salt by some oil
experts. who contend that 1t Is more
patriotic to conserve American oil
at this time than 1t is to fnd new
markets for getting rid of a huge
overproduction which is draining 90
mestic supply at an alarming rate.
According to one opinion. the New
York companies have cleverly made
use Of a lot OF cheap Russian oil
without tying themselves up In argu-
ments over private concessions. At
anv rate, Sir Henri and the New Jer-
sey company must expend much en-
ersv IL they intend to convince the
public that there Is any such thing
as ethics in oil, or rouse the pubic

such alleged ethics. The public now

ethics involved as 1t is in watching

already manifesting themselves in

much wholesome enjoyment from

Precious Parking Space.

While the authorities are engaged
in the perennial pickering with the
taxicab companies over space and
cruising rights, it might be well to
check up on the various. hackstands
in the downtown district to see that
cab drivers do not violate the regu-
lation in regard to parking, over
which there can be no dispute. With
a large number Of Entrance" signs
in front of buildings and with space
at each corner looped off. coupled
with a profusion of hackstands, park
ing space for private automobiles Is
difficult enough to find, but when
matters are complicated by taxicabs
"spilling over" their allotted sections,
the situation becomes impossible Of
endurance.
There are several hackstands in the
downtown district that are clearly
marked by Police Department signs,
space for Two Public Vehicles" 1t
ia rare, indeed, to find that only two
cabs occupy these spaces. Generally,
the cab drivers not only appropriate
that which is theirs, bat that which
is not theirs as well. and line up four
cabs at the curb. with two more wait
ing in the street for the others to
move out. 1t is obviously impossible
to park four cars in a space sufncient
only for two. so that the extra cabs
are taking up room that legitimately
belongs to the public. furthermore, the
cabs parked abreast are impeding the
smooth fiow of traffic.
This condition should be easy to
correct and there appears to be no
obstacle in the way of prompt action
on the part of the Police Department.
AS long as parking is allowed for pri-
vate automobiles in the congested
section, the rights of the public In
regard to parking space should be
jealously guarded. and private inter-
ests should not be allowed to usurp
what has now become precious park
ing space. A few arrests Of grasp
ing" hackers will speedily restore to
the public that which under present
regulations belongs to 1t.

Everybody Loves Them.

A London physician recently de-
clared that fat men should be SEN
fenced to hard labor. There Is moth
ing new in this. Fat men already
labor hard in carrying around what Is
sometimes called excess tissue" Ask
any fat man and he will admit 1t. He
would willingly part with his fatness,
but he does not know how to do it..
Exercise and restraint in eating, those
two oft.urged and too often urged
remedies, fail miserably in the test,
because fat men will not exercise and
will not stop eating. They hate to, at
any rate. "The flesh is willing, but
the spirit weak" The tat man. alas,
has weak, flabby flesh in addition to a
fat.bound spirit. AS every large gen.
tleman knows. the last place fat leaves
is the same place it goes to first. Not
withstanding these handicaps. fat men
occupy important places in the world,
fact which cannot be denied even
by the leanest man.
