AMONG BEST IN THE EAST

Miami Beach, Fla. Feb. 20.-tP)-
Now that a referee has been named
who is satisfactory to both Jack
Slarkey and young Stribling, youth
full gladiators in the fistic civil war
of the north and south, it would
seem that the way Is paved for
comparatively peaceful conclusion Of

Segment Unexpectedly after a pro-
tracted and somewhat violent meeting
last night of the fighters managers
and Jack Dempsey. The rugged New
Yorker, demon worker on fighters of
the clinching type, replaced BRASIL,
and also Jack Sheehan, the alternate
named by the Massachusetts, state
athletic commission.
Through the technicalitics Of fight
contracts, it was explained that the
Massachusetts, commission merely
was asked for an opinion on the quail
ifications Of referees, that the man.
ayers were able to get together and
choose a man both refused to accept
few days ago.
The possible complications, how
ever, are manifold. Since Florida
has no boxing commission and no
ring code, set of regulations accept
able to both boxers must be arranged.
Conferences started today with the
Sharkey camp set stubhornly against
any but Massachusetts, rules, which
preclude draw decisions, ana the
Stribling forces equally determined
| that New York state regulations shall
rule the contest.
Referee Squabblc Seen
There is chance, also, that the
referee squabble has only started
Last winter the New York commission
ruled that referees licensed within the
state could not officiate indiscrimin-
ately in other sections of the country
Since the New York board has a
working agreement with the Massa-
chusetts commission, which seems to
have been flouted after acting in
good faith, the well-informed believed
that Magnolia might not receive per-

Baskets and
Ba11l<1)O
Elevate the Baskets?

2A0OoVtOe
There Is some talk of an elevation
OF the baskets from their present
height Of 10 feet to a height Of II
feet. Such change would lessen the
overwhelming advantage that the ex-
Extraordinarily tall player now has in
tipping and batting the ball into the
basket. Now that the day Of low
ceilings in gymnasiums is past, the in
creased height Of the basket would
prove no embarrassment.
Shall we
Change Free Throw Line?
There will be those who will advo-
cate the moving of the free throw
line back to the 20-foot mark and also
those who will advocate the evalua-
ton Of the field goal at three points
and free throw, as always, at one
point. Many believe that the field
goal is worth more to the game than
the present rules permit.
Others contend that this change In
the evaluation of the field goal and
in the moving Of the free throw line
would encourage fouling-that the
players would foul easily. for they
would not expect free throws from
the 20-foot line to overbalancc field
goals for three points each. OF course
the present personal foul rule would
curb this danger to q marked extent.
At any rate, the discussions there
will be those Of sportsmen whose work
in the game has taught them Ito crow

THE TRAGIC RECORD

AS another summer draws toward
its close the newspapers are crowd
ed with reports of devastating fires.
A dropped cigar or cigarette, a
campfire incompletely extinguished-
such, little careless things as these
have resulted in the destruction OF
magnificent forests, great factories
and thousands of homes.
The most tragic part of it all is
that the waste is entirely unneces-
sary. 1t is a matter of moments
only to properly put out fire or
step on a burning cigar stub, or
properly inspect building for pos
sible risks. Yet when these small
tasks are left undone the result may
be a conflagration that wrecks the
work of years.
A little care and a little knowl-
edge and a little energy on the part
of our citizens would reduce our fire
loss to minimum. The fact that
losses have been decreasing, slowly,
for two years, is hopeful but incon-
elusive. Our fire record remains a
national disgrace, black blot on
our efficiency and prosperity.
Insurance and tire-resistant con-
struction of buildings and fire pa
trolls in our parks and forests, are
necessary projections. But valu-
able, as they are, they can never be
a substitute for individual fire
carefulness." And we pay each
year for our carelessness with close
to half billion dollars, beside the
inestimable loss in business and in
human lives.

Bidders Set Own Prices
on Rare First Editions

There ~ a recent story Of man
who took his old copy Of alice in

to be rebound. The bookstore clerk,
who recognized the book as a first edi.
ton, is reported to have told the cusF
toner that the book was worth $500,
The value of first editions fiuctuates
with the condition of the copy, and
in particular with the person bidding
for the volume. The first edition of
"Alice In Wonderland" London, 1856,
is very rare and consequently much
sought by collectors. Its value Is APP
proximately $500; presentation
copy might be worth more. This Is
because the author withdrew the book
from circulation shortly after it was
published, as he did not think the IL
Illustrations came out well. They were
by John Tenniel, who was also report
ed to be dissatisfied with them.
The next edition came out in Lon
don in 1865 and Is worth about $3.50
to $500. The third valuable edition
is the American, imprinted in New
York, 1866, and brought out by APP
pleton and company. This edition was
bound up from the English sheets Of
the 1865 edition. Its value is about
$3.50.

Recreation Time Must

Work is healthful but it must not
have depressing associations. Pauses
or changes in monotonous work will
cut down boredom and monotony. Rest
periods should not necessarily be used
for rest, but for relaxations in diver

play actually gives us relaxation, there

Lauren H. Smith in Hygeia Magazine.
Evening used to fall with hush
and tired men came home to rest in
contentment. Evening now falls like

before midnight the evening Is con-

Rare Varieties of Fox
Mere Freaks of Nature

The silver fox is not a separate spe-
cies. 1t is merely variety Of the red
fox, says the Pathfinder Magazine.
The black fox and the so-called cross
fox also belong to the same species.
Typical silver foxes have silvery APP
pearance, due to the white tips on
many of the hairs. The bushy tail is
black with the exception of white
tip. Black, silver and cross foxes are
found in the northern part of North
America and In Siberia. Totally black
specimens of this species are seldom
found except in the Far North. AS a
rule, the fur of the cross fox has
yellowish or orange tone with some
silver points and dark cross markings
on the shoulders Pelts of silver foxes
vary in color from black with slight
busting of silver on the head and
shoulders to half black and half silver
mixed. ALI these varieties are rare in
the wild state and it is believed that
they are usually born in filters Of nor
mally-red cubs.

Alaric, first Gothic leader to conquer
imperial Rome, was buried along with
priceless treasures captured in Rome
Laden with the riches of the dying EN-
pire, Alaric and his barbarian hosts
marched south to conquer Africa and
the grain which ahounded there. In
Calabria Alaric died of the fever. His
followers buried his treasure with him
in the fashion of the day. but they
made sure that the dead chieftain's
repose would not be disturbed. either
by avenging enemies or covetous treas
ure hunters. They diverted the course
Of the River Busento and buried
Alaric far below the river bed Then
they restored the river to its chan
mel. For security's sake they put to
death every one of the prisoners who
had helped bury Alaric, and marched
on. The grave has never been discov-

ago. Legend has 1t that the grave

All three are alike in that they
know something is going to blow up

Zoroaster, it is said, met his own
image walking in garden; nowhere
else, we must suppose, but in a gar

back to the happiness, so deep and
often so illusory, of his childhoods
