nevertheless, feels that there I'll
much logic in the statement Of
Dempsey's spokesman and little In
those OF Richard and Dempsey him
self.
Why, for instance. must they
rush into the light OF day at this
early moment to declare Dempsey
out of something that can't take
place for months?
Richard knows that Dempsey s.
the most changeable human being
III America. Why, then, should he
place so much credence in Demp.
sey's words at time when they
don't count for much?
If Dempsey waited until summer
to say he was out, then out he
would likely be. But this Is early
February and seem to remember
that Dempsey announced his re-
tirement at this time two years
ago even while he was making
plans to meet Tunney in that Phila.
delphia fight.
II the writer knows anything
about Richard, he IS the man
who would wait until the last
minute before admitting that
Dempsey was through and even
then he would try 70 conceal the
TACT under 3 lot Of verbal
generaIities.

that the work of cleaning the septic
tanks which receive the sewage from
the city is progressing rapidly. There
are two Of these tanks, one small and
one much larger. The small one was

Is inches deep on the bottom OF the
tank and the employees are experlenc-
ing difficulty in getting the pump to
suck UP the mud. 1t is expected that
a new connection on the pump will
do the work.
AS soon as this mud is removed
from the little tank it will be pre-
pared for use and the sewage will be
turned into it while the cleaners turn
their attention to the big tank which
will take some time to clean. The
septic tanks had not been cleaned for
a long time and were becoming

Styles and Values in the Douglas Shops
By Beebo

Our Douglas shops are just full of
the very latest in spring fashions, and
it should not be hard for anyone to
select her Easter costume from the
many late models on display. The
hats are dainty and for the Easter
morning fashion parade they are be-

hand painted designs and others with
small flat trimmings in fact no mat

fancy may be you can find it right

Paris has not been so lenient for
many years in the matter of size and
material for hats as this spring. They
may be the biggest within the younger
generations memory, as some OF the
advance summer models, or the small

women like the diminutive bonnetS of

With midsummer one may expect
many a Shoulder wide hat in light
shades to match chiffon dresses. Some
of them will be big leghorns, tinted
or in natural shades. Carious forms
of panama are also shown for mid
summer. The vogue for silk coats
for summer has brought back silk
covered hats. Most of them are OF
grosgrain with medium wide brinls.
Among a few of the details con-
cerning the newest dresses observed
in the shops this week is the fact that
jewels and fancy buckles have moved
around to the back. Women prob
ably found they could wear more
