Carter and Wills
Give Fans Eye-Full

I
wildcat" Carter, Seattle's clever
featherweight, carried off the honors
in the outdoor boxing show staged
by Austin and Bishop at the Coast
League Park Tuesday night when he
won the decision over Ignacio Fer
nandez, Filipino boxer, in six rounds
of fast milling. Carter took every
round from Fernandez, who is one
Of the cieverest boxers in the game
today t's, ST., (
=" Carter was the aggressor through
out the battle, keeping the Manila
boy on the defensive. Both boxers
carefully sized up each other in the
first and second rounds. i Carter
started in earnest in the third and
used his left in a constant barra6e
of blows to Fernandez face and
body. He kept this up the rest of
the way. Both boys missed badly at
times! The bout was fast and pleased
the fans. 'NL aHa y
The semi-final between Young
Harry Wills and Paul Delaney, well
terweights, practically stole the show.
1t was whiz of battle through
out the six cantos. Wills forced the
fighting and had Delaney clinching
most of the time. He delivered rip
ping body blows and stiff uppercuts
that would have stopped less
rugged boxer than Delaney. Paul
won the second and fifth rounds by
a wide margin. making Wills look
bad. Wills took all the rest.
Referee Jones called the affair a
draw and the fans let out a roar of
protest, as they always do in a close
contest between a white and colored
boxer If aggressiveness and, num-
Der of rounds won count anything,
Wills really won the battle. Know
ing the sympathy of the crowd was
with Delaney, Referee Jones evident
ly sought to placate them by calling
the fight a draw. He was badly
razzed for the decision. Wills weigh
ed lab and Delaney 155 pounds.
The show was a good one all through.
Curley Moran won from Johnny
Ryan. Billy Jones beat Sailor Pratt
and Johnny Woods defeated Mike De-
Pinto. A big crowd witnessed the

HIS GROWING DAYS ARE OVER

l
Gasoline is q dangerous article
to play. with. The owner of a
rooster left his automobile stand
ing in the driveway at the rear
of his house while he went in
side to get tools with which to
repair q leak in the gasoline line
of his car. Along came q roos-
ter and decided to scratch for
gravel in the roadway. It didn't
mean anything to him that gaso
line was dripping down beside
him-he didn't know he might
better have been scratching on
dynamite. Evidently his claws
struck off a spark, for the next
instant the air was full of tires,
cushions. twisted metal and
white leghorn feathers. That
rooster will crow no more.
While gasoline is about the
most dangerous, all petroleum
products should be handled with
care. The National Board OF
Underwriters reports that in
1926, $14, ,978, 500 was the amount
of wasted wealth that went up
in oil smoke.

ADDITION OF BLUE UNIFORM

It seems that the first step in
the return of the army to the old
blue uniform has been taken
with the adoption of slate un.
iform for flying cadets. This
has been approved by the War
Department and these uniforms
will soon be in issue. This is
the first change of this type
since the close of the World War.
The uniform is to consist of q
roll collar tunic, trousers with
out cuffs, dress cap of overseas
design, black kid shoes, and
black patent leather dress belt.
Without the coat shirt of the
same color as the uniform will
be worn. With the coat, q white
shirt and black tie will be worn.
AS is known by all, the War
Department has been giving con.
siderable time and attention dur.
| ing the past year to the adoption
Of the blue uniform by all
branches of the service. It
seems that what has held mat.
ters up SO far has been the ab.
undant supply of olive drab un.
iforms which has been on hand
and the necessing of using these
up before something else was
adopted. 1t has been estimated
that the stock of olive drab un-
iforms on hand will have been
exhausted by July, 1929, and, in
accordance with this, plans are
now being made for the adop.
tion of another type. The War
Department General Staff is now
making plans for three distinct
types of uniforms for the enlist.
ed men in the army to be put in
the annual budget for the fiscal
year of 1880.
All branches of the service de.
sire q cnango IN the UNIFORM,
and it is now contemplated that
the olive drab uniform will be
retained for field duty and that
the blue uniform or whatever is
adopted will be for dress occa.
sions only.
Ia connection with these un.
form changes, it is interesting
to note the discussion that Is
now going on concerning the
adoption of the .spat or canvas
type of leggin for dismounted
organizations. /, The. roll type
leggin has been worn since the
World War and it is now coming
into disfavor by dismounted or
CARNATIONS, all of whom desire
the canvas type. Extensive tests
have been made by the Infantry
Board at Fort Benning, Georgia.
during the past year and 1t
seems. that ERE long. the wrap
leggins will give way to the
canvas.

There is definite national
need for law simplification, par.
ticularly in criminal statutes.
AT present there is so much
legal chaos attached to criminal
cases that justice is delayed, or
defeated.
So rapid has been our civic,
state and national growth that
laws effective and valuable a
comparatively few years ago are
now entirely impractical. Yet
little effort is made to correct
them.
The legal system of the Brit.
ish Empire is more accurate and
immediate, with the result that
a high percentage of criminals
are caught and convicted, and
crime is discouraged. A simple,
but complete, criminal code that
is unhampered by legal" loop.

crime than thousand anti-re.

THE OIL "MoNoPoLY"

Commenting on the oil industry
in the United States. the Herald
of Hudson Falls, New York, ex-
presses itself ia q particularly
clear and common-sense man
ner. It says: i.
"A special master in chancery
has reported to the government
that some so oil companies in
vestigated with q view to deter
mining if they are violating the
Sherman. anti trust laws, are
free from that suspicion.
It has been the fashion for q
long time to consider all oil re-
ining companies as offenders
against the la " relating to trusts.
Asa matter of fact, the oil com
panies of the United States are
providing the people Of this
country with the refined pro
ducts Of petroleum at lower
prices than are enjoyed by the
consumers Of any other country.
Here in the United States, a days
pay for man will buy anywhere
from two to ten times as great q
quantity. of the derivatives of
crude oil as will q days wages
of man Of corresponding class
ia any other country. This rath
er fortuitous situation is due to
our great oil companies.
AS a matter of simple truth,
the great concerns of the coun
try are the ones which pay high
wages and provide necessities
and Injuries so cheaply that
literally every body here has
what only the wealthy can have
in othar countries"
The day when the people could
be quickly aroused to resentment
against big company by some
silver-tongued orator, has in q
large measure gone by in this
country. The people begin to
understand that if the masses
are TO be efficiently served with
products Of uniform quality, /
bursiness must be done on o
large scale.

written by Morris Llewellyn Cooke,
Philadelphia engineer, and declared:
II respectfully submit that the rates
and facts here presented, most of which
come from the sworn reports and
records of the electric hight and power
companies, require your immediate and
thorough investigation. The vicious
circle Of high and discriminatory rates
coupled with restricted use must be
broken"
Under circumstances outlined in the
pamphlet, Senator Norris said, fair
rates for small consumers through regu-
lations Is out Of the question unless our
fState) commissions are supported by
an inquiry at hands such as yours"
In the pamphlet. an open letter to
the electrical industry, Cooke declared,
ANY price paid for domestic service
above cents per kilowatt hour must
be justified by some special considera-
ton which does not affect 95 per cent
Of the current used on this class OF serv-
ice"
