DON'T BELIEVE JACK DEMPSEY
 NOT TO FIGHT
Experts in New York Doubt Assertions Made
 by Fight Promoter

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Experts
 of the fight game feel that they |cannot be blamed for sprinkling
 salt and skepticism on Tex Rick ards idea that Jack Dempsey has fought his last big fight.
 There are various and sundry reasons why the boys do not be- |lieve everything is exactly as it appears on the surface. They feel that when the proper mo- |ment comes, Dempsey will sud |denly decide that he is in shape |again and ready for another $2,- loco, 900 battle with Tunney. Just now, Rickard is casting |about for an early summer op- |ponent for Tunney. The cham |pion wants two title bouts this |year but so long Dempsey has been looked on as the only out contender, it has been |difficult to work up enthusiasm flor another aspirant. In other words it is believed to be better Ito serve the main purposes of a |ballyhoo and focus more undivid- led attention on other contenders land thus shelve Dempsey for the |time being, or at least until Tun- |ney's contemplated title defense lin June.

PUBLIC IGNORANCE
 BALKS CIVIC CLUBS
Speaker Tells KiWanians How
 Their Efforts Are lhWarted

The outstanding obstacle which civic clubs encounter in their avoW- ei functions of bettering their con- ulunities is that of ignorance. ac- cording 10 George Gilmore of Green Wich, who spoke to the kiwanis club at noon today at the Burritt hotel.
 Mir. Gilmore. who has been a sailor for years and has been all over the world, including Greenland and Alaska, described himself as "a man who has just discovered New Britain"
 He said the sphere of influence Of civic clubs is not limited to pleasant weekly gatherings, but their duty is to help make the community a bet Ter place in which to live.
 The proper understanding of the obstacles to this work is necessary. he explained. The chief obstacle is that of public ignorance, the speaker added, specifying among the types of public ignorance that of congen- ital ignorance, institutional ignorance and high hat ignorance.
 Institutional ignorance he dismiss ed with the brief statement that it meant red tape kind of ignorance. COngenital ignorance he said was the kind which prevents parents from sympathizing with schools, dental clinics, diphtheria inoculation and other welfare movements because of prejudice. He told of a man who was arrested for keeping his children out of school. The man told the court that the teacher taught the children the world was round when he knew it was flat, therefore he kept the children home.
 High hat ignorance or ignorance in high places, he described as a lack of knowledge of certain subjects among the educated. A learned pro- lessor at a dinner of men all Of whom had degrees for scientific achievements, except Mr. Gilmore, asked the latter one time if it were true that sailors toss each other in blankets. Advised that he had never known of such an incident, the pro- lessor said, Well. I'm going to write to Secretary Wilbur at West Point and ask him myself"
 A delegation of 16 or more mem- bers of the club will motor to Hart ford a week from tomorrow to join an inter-club luncheon at that city.
