DICTIONARY
 OF NEW KIND
 SOON ISSUED
Council of Learned Socie- ties Complies Ameri-
 can Biography

NEW YORK, Feb. 27-The first book of a twenty-volume Diction- ary of American Biography will be issued soon by the American Council of Learned Societies.
 The editors of the dictionary. desiring to omit no. name worthy of inclusion, have given out in advance of publication the list of subjects of biographies in the first volume and invite from all sources suggestions as to addi- tions.
 These may be sent to Dr. Allen Johnson, editor-in-chief, 602 Hill Building, Washington, D. c.
 The purpose of those sponsoring and preparing the dictionary is to make it the most complete biographical reference work and through the learned societies CO., operating in it, it is expected to obtain the broadest possible sup port from the standpoint of scholarshQb and thoroughness.
 One of the outstanding phases of the work of the editors has been the attempt to restore for gotten regulations. to give promi- hence to Americans who have made some valuable contribution to the national life but who. by some caprice of fortune. have been robbed of their fame.
 The dictionary will not include the biography of any living Amer ican. Achievement of one sort or another will be the test for in cluding a biography in the work, but virtue alone will not be the basis. for men of evil influence will not be ignored. For example, Jesse James has been judged worthy of space because of his activity in frontier outlawry, but the ordinary criminal or mad man will have no place in the dictionary.
 In addition to statesmen, sol tliers. clergymen, writers. artists. scientists and other notables. us- ually dealt with in Biographical

IF BACK HURTS
 BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Oc- casionally by Drinking
 Quarts of Good Water

a
 No man or woman can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Too much rich food creates acids which clog the kid ney pores so that they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood. Then you get sick. Rheu- matism, headaches, liver trouble nervousness, constipation, dizzi- ness, sleepiessness. bladder dis orders often come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or If the urine Is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, ir- regular of passage, or attended to drink soft water in quantities.: also get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys may then act fine.
 This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush clogged kidneys and stimu- late them to activity, also to help neutralize the acids in the sys- tenn so they no longer cause irri- tation, thus often relieving blad- der disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can not fnjure; makes a delightful effervescent Whitewater drink, which everyone can take now and then to help keep the kid neys clean and the blood pure, thereby often preventing serious kidney complications .--adv.

onymous with crushing fistic pow CT, tigerish ferocity, record-break- ing gates" and purses. Rickard himself estimates he has paid Dempsey over $2.500,00O in purses in the past nine years. With the man-killer's name have been asso- ciated the greatest gates in his- tory-over $2,000.000 at Philadel- phia and close to $3,0OO000 for the battle that brought Dempsey and Tunney together for the sec ond time at Chicago
 Since the day i'll 1916 when the lean, hungry, nut-brown Dempsey rode into New York on the brake beams from Colorado to beat Wild Burt Kenney and John Lester Johnson in hurricane battles, ifs. tiana has not seen his equal in dramatizing ring action.
 Dozens of the lesser heavy weights fell under his thudding fists. Between 1915 and July 4. 1919, when he fought Jess Willard for the heavyweight champion ship at Toledo, Dempsey knocked out 43 men. defeated ten, lost twice and was knocked out once.
 After crushing the huge VII. lard in three rounds, Dempsey whipped Billy Miske in three and Billy Brennan in 12 during 1920. Georges Carpentier, first of two successive foreign threats. came along in 1921 to take a drubbing in four rounds and a good share of the first $1.600.0O0 purse on record. Dempsey's title defense against Luis Angel Firpo. the massive South American, lasted less than two rounds but added spectacular chapter to ring his tory. The champion floored Luis seven times in the first frame before being knocked out of the ring himself Earlier that year Dempsey whipped Tom Gibbons in a 15-r0und title match at Shel- by, Mont.
 A three-year period of inactivity that followed rusted the great fighting machine and in Septem. Der, 1926. amid pouring rain, Gene Tunney slashed the champion to ribbons and took the title It was that fight and the constant pound ing of right hand smashes on Dempsey's left cheek that damag- ed nerve center. forced Demp- sey into a dark room for two weeks, and left it's mark in a slight twitching of cheek and eye lid muscles. In his second fight with Tunney. Dempsey suffered comparatively slight cuts over both eyes.

By EDWARD J. NEIL Associated Press Sports Writer).

NEW YORK, Feb. 27-The 'eyes" appear to have it--for the time being at least-that Jack Dempsey. most colorful ring glad iator of modern times. at last is Irelegated to the ranks of the "has beens."
 Just how long the old Man Mauler of Manassa will stay "on the shelf" is almost as moot a question as the real condition of Dempseys focal organs. Know ing tongues prod Jumps in know ing cheeks. fingers are crossed. and the wise ones" whisper that Dempsey's retirement is just an other feature. of Tex Rickard' $ far-flung ballyhoo organization. They point to the fact that the former heavyweight king has nev- CT said positively he won't fight again, that Jacks statements , merely have disclosed a willing ness to retire from sport pages for awhile to determine the exact condition of his eyes. Dempsey believes there is nothing wrong with his sight and that his sole ailment is slight muscle injury that would not prevent fighting again if he chooses to do so. With Dempsey on the scene other fistic attractions fade. Only last summer, while the big Cali fornian toiled at Saratoga for his comeback engagement with Jack Sharkey, world light heavy weight title fight between Mike McTigue and Jack Delaney died an unnatural death because of lack of attention. With Dempsey out of the fight picture for June at least, Rickard can safeguard every monetary crossroad to pre- vent financial disaster when Gene Tunney defends his heavyweight crown against either Jack Shar- key. Jack Delaney, Johnny Risko, or Tom Heeney during the month of roses and blushing brides.
 Then there is evidence that Leo P. Flynn, who handled Dempsey's affairs wEen the ageing tiger pre- pared for his second unsuccessful assault on the square-jawed Ma rine. has again reached an agree ment to manage Jack through an other title try next summer. At a new training camp in Orange burg, N. r.. owned and managed by Gus Wilson, the personable French pal and trainer of Demp- sey, preparations quietly are be- ing made to welcome Jack back to the grind.
 But if the muscle injury Jack suffered in 1926 at Philadelphia when Gene Tunney beat the left side of his face into red, green and purple mass in winning the championship. has damaged his sight, the prize ring has lost it's greatest attraction and Tex Rick ard his biggest drawing card.

H COLLEGE MEN
 GET BIG LEAGUE
 TRIAL THIS YEAR

NEW YORK, Feb. 27-Eleven college baseball players of last year are slated for big league tryouts this spring, the number adding weight to contentious ad- vanced by some that the majors are turning to the colleges for material rather than to the sand lots.
 Heading the list Is the Brook lyn club with three college men. In addition to Overton Tremper, heavy hitting captain of the 1927 University of Pennsylvania team. who received his first trial in the Brooklyn outfield last summer, the Robins have signed Hal Lee, an infielder from Mississippi Col lege, and Catcher Hugh Wise of Purdue.
 Tho Yankees and the White Sox are next in line with two each. Vic Hanson and Bill Eisemann, two of the three contributions of Syracuse University to the ma jor leagues, have added their names to the Yankee roster and the third Jonah Goldman, has signed with Cleveland. The Chi cagoans are trying out two in fielders, Henry Schrump, of West ern State Teachers College. Kala- mazoo, Mich. and Miller Beasley. who played with Texas University and with the Naval Academy last year.
 Others on the list are Outfield- CT Miller Harris, of Simmons Col lege, who will receive a trial with the Athletics, and two catchers, Edward Doherty of Holy Cross, with the Red Sox. and Joe Wittry, of Loyola University, Chicago, who will be tried by the Giants.

 Nowhere in the world" said the Bounding Basque afterward, have 1 seen a young player of such great ability and wonderful promise.
 Crawford is seen as the chief Australian hope for return to the tennis glories of the days of Patterson, Anderson, Hawkes. and Wood.

 "The tremendous increase in musical interests among Ameri- cans i5 bencfiting only the best artists. There are so many first rank singers and instrumentalists available now that people are not willing to pay to hear second raters. So at the present time this latter group, which includes many really fine artists, is facing distinctly hard times, perhaps the hardest since the post war musi- cal slump of 1922.
 "The orchestra patronage has increased probably more than that of any other musical group. None of the big symphony orches- tras, however, is self supporting. Because of the enormous cost of operation they probably never will be.
 "An interesting development in opera is the establishment of such new groups as the American, Washington and Philadelphia op- era companies. It is possible that this will grow into something ap- proximating musical conditions in Europe, where each large city has it's own opera house."
