BOSTON TAR
HAS BEST
RECORD
BY JACK DEMPSEY

Most folks have come to regard
Jack Sharkey as at least the
heavyweight champion Of Amer
lea. SOM figure that Jack stacks
up as the up-to-date successor TO
Gene Tunney's vacated worlds
throne.
But the National Boxing Asso,
citation, which is the dominating
factor In boxing In q Of the 81
States where the sport is legal
ized, refused to regard Sharkey
rs the champion, declared the
title open" but rated Sharkey
as the outstanding among the
active men In his class.
This has created considerable
discussion. Those who argue in
Sharkey's behalf, take this atti.
tude:
"Sharkey was held to .
draw in 1927 by Heeney and
lost decision to RiskO. But
since that time Heeney has
been badly whipped and has
quit the game, while Risko
has lost about as many fights
as he has won, and does not
rate now as genuine head
liner.
''On the other hand Sharkcy
beat DeKuh. Then he whipped
Christner. After that he took
the decision from Strihling and
later knocked out Tommy Lougi1
ran. What else must he do to
prove supremacy as the Amer
ican champion? Having whipped
those four men, and with Heeney
and RiSko now out Of the picture
who is left to make q real chal
lenge among the Americans?
The only heavies who can be
rated to have possible chance
are Schmeling, the German;
Scott, Of England: perhaps Com.
polo, the South American, and
Won Porat, the Norwegian.
That makes Sharkey the
American champion at least and,
all things considered, he is the
topper Of all the others. His
record certainly is far better than
Won Porat's. better than SCOTS,
better than Heeney's, and better
than Schmeling's."
That's the Sharkey side of
1t. His friends do seem TO
put up q logical argument in
favor Of Sharkey being &C.
claimed the world champion
and bring powerful facts TO
the front in their insistence
that, ii Sharkey isn't the
world champion, he certainly
Outranks all American chal.
lengers.
The N. B. A. gave no real ex.
planation for not naming Sharkey
the American champion. Perhaps
they felt that none was neces-
sary. They might have argued
the line that Sharkey won no
elimination tournam m nj and
therefore. did not gain q title by
his conquestS. However, even
though Jack wasn't established
as champion in their liStings.
they put him on the top of their
group and that in itself is q fine
gesture Of their admiration for
his skill and his fistic achieve
mentS.

STUDENTS DO REASEARCH WORK
REGARDING EARLY MAIL SERVICE

Mrs. Genevieve A. Murray and AL

search work in early northwest history
under the supervision of Professor p. G.
Phillips. "Eariy Historical Events With

is PartOllS latest paper.
Mrs. Murray has been gathering facts
in regard to the development of early
mail service in Montana and the north
west. In 185O-1855 mail to western
Montana came by pack trains from The
Dalles or Fort Hall, Idaho, and was
very irregular, arriving on an average
Of twice a year. Eastern newspapers
never reached MiSsoula and those from
the west were often six months old
when received.
In 1855 the first express packages
we're brought into Missoula and soon
afterwards mail service was established
On a monthly basis. The service was
gradually improved until mail was re-
ceived three times each week. Charges
were high, however, al ordinary letter

bandl"
You what?"
Il crave TO drum-major the band. /
know Antrim Watkins already is q
good drum major. But if l don't get
his Job-you don't get Hiatus!"
Mr.. Hush was disguised. "And you'd
let your desire for personal 'grandize-
ment ~overshadow your affectiOnate re-
gard for your dear old alma mater?"
That's senior talk" withered Eddie.
In offering to swap. Now-what
says you?"
Il think you're a disgrace to the COL
lege," snapped Harvey Hush - and
strobe Indignantly away.
During the next three days great
pressure was brought to bear upon
Hiatus Smith. He was waited upon by
student committees, and even by a
group of attractive goods. He was be-
wildered at the attention which was
Showered upon him but day and
night Eddie Melody impressed him with
the necessity for loyalty.
When, at the end of the third day, it
became apparent that direct attack up
on Hiatus would never produce results,
a joint star chamber session Of the
Student Athletic Board and Student
council was held. Harvey Hush made
a long speech in the course of which
Eddie Melody was superbly vilified. He
was branded as a traitor to his school.
The drum major himself was there.
If it's for the good of the college,
said Antrim, III abduct in favor of
this Melody person."
Nothing doing!' 1t was a shout. 1--WE
won't hear of it,"
We'll we've got to have
Hiatus Smith on the team"
And now a lantern jawed and serious
senior arose and addressed the gather
ing.
Brethren" he said, this impresses
me as being a situation where tack is
both neceSSltOuS and %virtuOus."
Have you promulgated a scheme?'
Il have. 1t is this. Right now Eddie
Melody has denied that he ever tried to
drive such an u%mbiquitous bargain. But
if we ever got Hiatus out on the field,
even Eddie wouldn't dare to make him
resign away from the team because
then the student body would man
slaughter him or otherwise cause him
misery. He'd be plumb run out of
school, My idea is. therefore, to agree
that Eddie can be drum major. Well
give INN the uniform and let him prac-
tice leading the band. Hiatus will
come out for the team. If he amt a
wonder-well kick them both off. If
he is-re'll wait until the day of the
opening game against Mount Hope, and
after the team has gone out on the
~field-well take Eddie's uniform off
him and describe where he can alight
at"
One student was doubtful.
Amt that dishonest?"
NO! It's diplomatic
There was considerable discussion as
the result OF which it was agreed that
the end justified any means. Hiatus
must be had. That night they called
upon the Unmatched pair Of friends.
You win. Eddie said Harvey Hush.
Soon as Hiatus comes out for the
team, we choose you drum major"

NEW METHOD OF
HEATING HOMES
Test Has Been Made of Oil
Burners and Fuel Oils.

prepared By the United statss Department
OF Agriculture.l
There Is widespread interest In the
new method OF heating homes by
burning fuel oil, and many types of
oil burners have been designed espe-
cially for this purpose. People like
the relief from the uncertainty Of the
coal supply, from tending furnace,
taking out ashes and other dirty
work. and the possibility of regulat-
Ing the heat automatically.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has made some investiga-
lions Of oil burners and fuel oils.
These studies indicate that this meth
cd of heating Is well suited to the re-
quirements OF many home owners on
account Of Its convenience and ease of
heat control. However, to obtain
these advantages, the prospective pur-
chaser must be willing to pay the cost
Of changing to the new system, and
possibly an increased operating cost.
Before deciding whether a change to
oil burning is desirable, there should
be a thorough understanding Of diff
ferent types Of oil burners, and Of In
stallation and operation costs.
Fuel for oil burners is derived from
crude oil after other products have
been extracted, and Is sold In various

French Rail Mileage
Second in Europe

Paris.-The system of French rail-
roads covers 41,727 kilometers, and 1t
is the most important in Europe after
that Of Germany, which covers $3.50
kilometers. The English railway sys-
TEN, which follows these two, has only
1850 kilometers and that of Italy
1880.
In point OF view of intensity Of
traffic, France has l,47O,OO0 kilometric
tons; Belgium. 8,175.OOO; Germany.
2,O63, 600; England, 100000. and
Switzerland 1.476,O00.
However, from the point Of view Of
financial receipts, gross receipts from
the capital in France reach % per
cent, while in Germany and In Eng
land they are only 20 per cent; in
Switzerland, Ia per cent and in Italy,
- per cent. Thus the net profits are
higher In France than in other coun-
tries.
Other statistics show that 1t re
quires four and one-half months Of
work to pay the salaries Of French
railway personnel. two and one-half
months to pay maintenance expenses,
two months to pay state taxes, one
month and one-half to pay interest to

month to settle fuel bills, and fifteen
days to pay depreciation debts II

Alaskan Fox Farmers
Expect 10000 Crop

Ketchikan. Alaska.-Harvest time
In blue fox, smartest of all furs, is
near. On more than 200 islands off
the coast of Alaska and In the Aleu-
tan group fox farmers expect to reap
the fruits Of many years careful breed
ing Of the rare semi-polar animals
The blue fox is of the same species
as the white fox. They are both Arctic
foxes, the only difference being the
color phases.
The first recorded efforts to raise
blue foxes in Alaska was as early az
1885. Several were taken from Pri-
bilof islands to Aghiyak island, later
to other rocky islets. About. 1916 In
terest was further revived and since
then the industry has developed rapid
~ until nearly all the islands suitable
for foxes are occupied.
1t is estimated there are more than
100000 blue foxes on the Alaska fur
islands, Of which nearly one-third are
to be pelted this autumn.
At recent fur sales in Seattle, blue
fox skins averaged $144.5O each and
specimen wild skins brought $242
each. Alaska blue fox farmers expect
to realize about SIS each average re-
turns on their first big crop Of skins.
