WEIGHT BATTLE
! STIRS FIGHTERS
FANS WORRIED BY RE-
PORT VASQUEZ WILL
REFUSE TO MEET GAR
FINKLE IF LATTER Is
OVERWEIGHT.

With the arrival Of George
Oden, manager of Manuel Vas
uuez it looked for a while that
Las Vegas would be without the
"fistic show booked for next
Tuesday and would have TO be
content with battle of words.
Oden declared that he has
signed Vasquez to box Eddie
Sheppard, not Imey Garfinkle and
that he knew nothing of the
change.
"Garf1nkle is too tough and IS
a middle weight, while VeSquez Is
welter weight" declares Oden.
and he never weighs over 148
pounds.
IF matchmaker Vilarde wants
Garfinkle to box Vesquez, then
we've got to have Garfinkle put
up a weight forfeit that he will
make 152 pounds at 200 the day
of the fight. We're not taking
any chances. If Garfinkle is
over weight we'll take the for
felt. and I don't mean maybe.
I'm not trying TO be unreason-
able" Oden says. I'm Vasquez'
manager and I intend TO protect
him in every respect. He's de-
feated everyone on the Coast
during the last year and as We
are now in line for the big shots
in the east, we're not taking any
chances with a fighter like Gar
finke. He must make the weight
"Vasquez mas spotted opponents
80 pounds and then beaten them,
but he is not going TO give Gar
finkle more than four pounds.
For time it appeared that
Villarde and Oden would put or
an informal bout themselves, in
person, but finally the smoke
cleared away and a weight for
felt for Garf1nkle was put in the
hands of Carl Doc" Farra
and the main event apears likely
eo develop into a real slugfest.
Getting back to the balance of

like a battle between two boys

With the changes recent years
have brought in educational
ideas and ideals, it is hard for
many parents and tax payers of
the older generation to compre-
hend just what the schools OF to-
day are trying to do
Recalling our own school days,
and the "readin', 'ritin and

the tune of the hickory stick,
we are wont to bewail the times
that have passed and to label
present day educational methods
as a lot of monkey business. -
Take the matter OF Physical
Education, which has become a
required subject in up-to-date
elementary and high schools. How
often have we heard School

spending time and money en- a
subject which to most of US ap-

tolerant of us have been inclined
to consider it a devise for keep
ing the boys and girls interested
in school work, and have mental
ly marked up the expenditure
OF time and money in the cause
as one of the fancy trimmings
tackled on to the education of
the youth of today
With this idea uppermost in
mind I visited the girls physical
education and hygiene classes at
the high school Wednesday, and
found, to my surprise, that
Physical Education not only has
real place in the school cur,
-lculum. but that it has a vital
mission in Developing our boys
and girls. I also found that
this development is not only on
the physical side, but includes
activities that are both mental
and moral.
I was particularly fortunate in
attending the classes on Wednes-
day as it was on that morning
that Miss Drom, girls instructor,
was starting one of the two big
projects outlined for this year.

LESS BUILDING seen
Spring Prospects Good but
1925 Was Peak.

Prospects are good for general
building activity this spring, accord
ing to Assistant Building Commits
sioner T. D. Lee. Lee said several
hundred workmen will be given en-
ployment as a result of spring build
ing activity which is beginning in
some quarters.
General building will be good
this spring, but there will not be the
usual amount of houses constructed
according to indications. Lee said.
Charts of building valuations since
1900 show that Indianapolis reached
its peak in 1925 when the valua-
ton reached $26,00O,OOO. There has
been a gradual decline from 1925
to 1897 which showed $50, 765 900
for the year.
Building showed a rapid gain from
1861, when totaal building amounted
to less than $5,000,000.

ideas and intelligent suggestions.
Morgan advised persons with
small incomes to extend their plant
ing over three or four seasons, max
ing additions each planting period
until the entire plan is carried out.
Planting itself is simple opera
ton but the way the fundamentals
are carried out means success or
failure" believes Morgan.
Remember plants are living Or
ganisms, they need air, food and
water. They receive their nourish-
ment and strength from the ground
through their rootS-the most
delicate part Of the plant. Be sure
roots are not damaged or the plant
is as good as dead before you start.
avoid letting the roots dry out.
Insist at all times on good healthy
specimens, free from insects or
disease. Deal only with reliable firms
and avoid, to large extent, tree
and shrub bargains.
After you have received good
nursery stock there are three very
important things that must be
done to make your planting a
success. They are: Proper soil
preparation. placing OF plant in soil
correctly; aftercare, pruning water
ing. fertilizing, mulching etc.
These points will be discussed in
detail in later articles for various
