Perhaps you can CLEAN from that
where Tom Heeney gets off in
essaying the role of challenger of
the Shakespearian scholar and
sportsman, James Joseph Tunney.
Visiting both of their camps, we
find two outstanding elements to
consider. First. Tom Heeney has
everything that Jack Dempsey had
and two legs besides-stout, sturdy
legs. Dempsey might as we'll have
been on crutches in his last two
fights with Tunney and he was
first on one leg and then the other
against Sharkey.
Secondly, Gene Tunney is hitting
harder than he ever hit in any of
his previous training camps. After
a very recent workout Billy Vida
beck, one of Tunney's sparring
partners, said that if he ever got in
the ring with Gene Tunney again,
1t would be too soon.
AnybOdy's Ticket
Therefore, Heeney's margin of
advantage over Dempsey is two good
legs. Tunney's margin over him.
self in his last two fights is a
harder punch. Figure it out for
yourself, mates. and write your own
ticket.

PALO ALTO. Cal, July 25.-Pro-

campaign with Herbert Hoover TAX
ing the dry side of the argument in
his speech accepting the Republican
nomination, it was learned here to-
day on good authority.
The Republican nominee who vlr.
tually has completed his speech, will
come out strongly for enforcement
of the Eighteenth amendment and
place himself on record as favoring
a further test of prohibition. This
will bring him into direct conflict
with the declared position of Gov
ernor Alfred Z. Smith, his Demo
cratic rival for the Presidency.
No "Pussyfooting"
Prohibition will become q real
issue, one of his closest advisers
said, because Hoover will not
"pussyfoot" on the subject. His
declaration on prohibition, it was
said, will be far more emphatic
than in his reply to the famous
QUESTIONABLE of Senator William E.
Borah last spring, in which the
nominee appeared to take a middle
of-the-road attitude.
Hoover does not desire to make
prohibition an issue. according to
his advisers. The circumstances,
however, are such that he cannot
avoid 1t. He will simply speak his

G.. De Fremont, retired real estate
dealer, Of 218 Passaic Avenue,
Hasbrouck Heights, lost his sight
two months ago while driving an
automobile, and regained it in a
BARRIERS chair.
De Fremont was driving along
one night when everything went

headlights were out. They were
not, and De Fremont knew he
was blind. He offered specialist
$4,000 to operate, but the doctor
said it was too dangerous.
De Fremont likes facial mas
sages, and he soon noticed that
the electric vibration over his fore
head was helping his eyes. He
kept it up, and recently he sat
up in a chair in Patsy Cardone's
shop. his vision restored. He
tipped the barber $25, and hurried
to his Lake Hopatcong summer
home.

renton, sitting in the circuit court,
suspended his recently handsd-down
injunction forbidding the highway
commission from closing the high
way to traffic.
Arnold has fought the closing Of
the highway and finally sought an
injunction from Judge Fletcher. In
the absence of contradictory testi-
mony Judge Fletcher granted the
writ because. 1t is said. he believed
from ArnolG's counsel that it would
be impossible to run buses through
Rosslyn.
Conference Called
Yesterday a conference was held
between Arnold's counsel and coun-
sci for the highway commission. 1t
was agreed that two days notice
would be given to the bus operator in
order that he might rearrange his
schedules to comply with detours
made necessary by closing Of por-
tons of the highway
AT the time Judge Fletcher sus.
pended the injunction. Arnold's cour.
sci made every effort to have one
side of the road kept open for his
big passenger carriers. J. G. AL

fought this proposal and explained
that If the road was kept open to
buses there would be no room for
the workmen and trucks and other
implements and men incident to the
