 In an exclusive interview with the Limited Press, the Arctic explorer en- Iphasized the fact that the reindeer of the Arctics were far more economical .as afood than the cattle which have ito be foraged during the winter month son the American and Argen- tine ranges.
 Stefansson pointed out that rein .tleer live on grass during the summer dime, in sp1 of the popular belief that there is no grass in the cold country, and that during the winter they subsist on lichens bushes When they are slaughtered, he said, all the packers have to do is to hang them eOut in the open air and the following morning they will be completely frozen and ready for shipment.
 Even during warm summer months, sStefansson said. the slaughtered roln- sdeer can be stored just few feet un- sder the surface of the ground, where the permanent Arctic frost will keep ithem preserved for long period, in natural refrigerator.
 Stefansson, who has lived on rein deer meat for many months at time during his exploration trips, said there was little difference between tthe taste of beef and reindeer.

 Stefansson also tookoccasi on de- r;de the popular belief that the na- ttives of the Arctic zone were descend ants of the ancient Greeks, belief, he said, which is taught even in the text books of the modern universities throughout tn eworld. He character ized the belief as mythology of the Arctics."

 Last year a record was set in Shanghai courts with a total of more than HOO divorces, a gain of more than 500 over 1927. In 1926, before the establishment of nation- alist rule in Shanghai. divorces fail ed to reach the hundred mark.

 More than 60 per cent of l92S's divorces when filed between May and September 80. the remaining 40 per cent i'll the other seven months of last year. December wound up the year with 75 cases, just a little more than 5 per cent Of the years total.

ping fight and belted Walker with New Jersey bulldog made his char acteristic two listed rush. Loughran never had Mickey in trouble, and was content to pile up his wide margin by his brilliant boxing.
 Walker had but once chance last night. That was in the fifth round when he nailed the champion with terrific right cross to the jaw. Loughran reeled, his eyes were glassy and he appeared to be in pain. Sensing victory, the Bulldog rushed. aiming his flying fists at the same spot. but Loughran. always a smart fighter, tied him up each time, shook the cowwebs from his brain and stalled out the nearly disastrous round.
 The fifth was the only exciting round of the match and from that time on. the tide turned steadily 10 the champion. Loughran recovered his poise in the sixth round and never again was Mickey able to break through with any telling ef- feet. In the ninth round. Lough- ran decided to show his critics he was willing to trade punches. He caught a few light smashes in this exchange. and then crept back into his shell and stayed there. holding Walker off with his reliable left.

 The battle, strictly one between good big man in Loughran and a mighty little man in Walker. was fought before 10000 spectators, who paid approximately s175.00o to see it.
 Loughran obtained the verdict of the two judges. the referee cast his ballot for the challenger, whose dream of equalling the triple ring title record of the great Bob Fitz- simmons was shattered.

Out of this. he had to pay Walker s5O.- 900 and $13,0O0 to Leo Lomski and Tuffy Griffith, who fought rollick- ing 10 round semi -windup. Thus. he had left gross profit Of but 1000 for himself. his manager and for ex- penses.
 Morally. however, it was a big night for Loughran. Not only did he retain his title. but his victory kept him in the rank of the out standing contenders for the vacant heavyweight throne. Defeat would have dropped him definitely from consideration there.
 The battle between Lomski and Griffith, which Griffith won. was the bright spot of the program. They traded heavy smashes for 10 rounds and the crowd roared it's approval. By his victory Griffith, won a prom ise from Harmon for match with Loughran for the title.

 The noted advocate of world pro- hibition visited the island recently during a tour of the far east in be- half of the cause for which he is working. A Philipine League Against Alcoholism, composed of both Americans and Filipinos. was organized during his stay here. The organizers intend 10 affiliate with the World League Against Alcohol ism.
