Not only does this present day

Lewis had written the President

quested to call in conference out

Inasmuch as the 1880 census will

that any conference will be called

year prices will be treble those Of

Rapson is quoted in the India
Rubber Journal, q London publica-
ton, as predicting that rubber will
reach 81 a pound before the end
of the present year, basing his con-
cluSion on his opinion that an ap-
palling waste in rubber is caused by
the scrapping of thousands of per-
fectly good tires before they have
rendered full mileage.
These statements are mentioned
as indicative merely of one line Of
British thought which deserves con-
sideration. A more subdued opti-
mism is expressed by numerous
planters who are encouraged BY the
high rate of rubber consumption
during the past months of heavy
rubber shipments from the east. but
who are doubtful as to whether con-
sumption will be maintained and,

The alchemist said he submitted
his formula to the scientists of sew

have sent back testimonials con-
frming his belief that at last he has
found the philosophers stone.

of the rubber division of the de-
partment, said today.
American tire prices today have
reached the lowest level of any
time since the war, but government
officials doubt that there is waste
such as pictured by Rapson.
The American manager of one of
the nations largest tire manufac-
turerS pointed out that although
motorists are discarding tires for
new ones before they are entirely
worn out, rather than paying for
repairs. that the rubber in them is
not being wasted.
"All of the rubber is being re-
claimed for making other rubber
articles so there is not the waste
that the English manufacturer pic
lures" this official said.

DETROIT. July 25.-The welter-
weight championship Of the world
which has been a moot question for
some time will be decided tonight
at Floyd Fitzsimmon's new state
Playground arena, when Joe Dundee
of Baltimore champion in New
York and four other states, meets
Jackie Fields of Chicago and Cali
fornia, National Boxing Association
titleholder.
The battle will be the first under
Michigan's new law allowing IS
round encounters for championship
fights only
The odds favor Fields 7 to and
their trainging camp workouts and
recent records also indicate Fields
will win. Then Fields is only %
and Dundee is 81 year old.
Arena Seats $4,000
FitZsimmons' arena seats $4,000
and he didn't expect 10000 when the
fight ballyhoo started. Local inter
est has been stirred by the fight,
however, and out-of-town boxing
enthusiasts are expected to bring
the crowd to almost 10000 with per-
haps capacity gate of S174,000.
The rivals were to weigh in this
afternoon with both expected to be
at least a pound below the l47-
pound limit.
Against Fields superior boxing
and youth, Dundee, one Of the most
unpopular champions, has his iron
nerve, stamina, ability to take pun
ishment and his ability to punish
an. opponent while weathering a
counter assault with little damage.
X. o. Against Dundee
But the records show Dundee was
technically knocked out by Jackie
Thompson in a non-championship
fracas while Fields has taken two
decisions from Thompson, the last
giving him the National Boxing AS
ISOLATION title in the twenty-slX
states affiliated with that body.
Dundee is still clinging to the title
he won from Pete Latzo two years
ago and recognized at varying times
by the New York, New Jersey, Mas
sachusetts, Pennsylvania and Cali
fornia boxing commissions.
