The Next Heavyweight Champion.
|H next boxer or fighter to be
listed as the heavyweight cham
pion will have to do something
more than merely eliminate the
leaders now left hanging around.
He also will have to do some fighting
and prove that he Is a fighter. No
heavyweight exhibition given by any
of them in the last year would qualify in
the championship class. II Dempsey
decides to return there Is at least no
question Of any loafing or hanging on
or holding back in his case. Whatever
he has. good or bad, it will be about
all he has. But no fight that Sharkey,
Stribling, Heeney or Pauline has put
on in the last year could be rated as
anything like a championship offering.
The one that will get most of the public
backing for any claim he may offer will
be the one that does most Of the fight
ing. But those who expect to wrestle
their way into the vacated kingdom may
be in for a shock.

PRISON OUTBREAKS

The latest prison outbreak 10 startle the nation was unique change from its forcrunners ol re- cent months in that the mutinous rioters attempted to use prison euards as hostages to provide a road to freedom. Confronted with such remarkable demand, Warden CraW- ford Of the Colorado state institution at Canon City properly refused, prob ably thinking the demand was d bluff anyway and that no men, However depraved and desperate would shoot down such hostages in cold blood, But it happened, and today many citizens are wondering whether it would not have been bet ter to permit the prisoners to "es- cape" in this manner and then rounding them mp later,
 One is also forced 10 ask what kind of prison system it is that permits rioters to surprise the off cials, seize the arsenal, provide themselves with guns and ammuni- ton, and thus gain control over the penitentiary?

BRITAIN AND THE SONIETS

Probable resumption of diploma tie relations between Great Britain and the Soviets following an ex- change of ambassadors between London and Moscow, has come un- especially due to the preliminaries having been arranged without pub Iicity.
 Resumption of relations with Rus sid, it will be remembered, was a promise of the Labor party during the campaign that resulted in its victory. Parliament, which will meet shortly, is expected 10 ratify the re- sumption of trade and diplomatic ties without undue delay,
 IL is noted that one of inc points of agreement has been that the sovicls arc not to utilize such re lations as a basis of propaganda, It will he remembered that the Con- srrratiye government ruided Arcos house. the Russian trade headquar- ters in London in 1927, and there found, or said it found, evidences of propaganda, On the basis of this find relations were broken off. The Conservative government was intent upon breaking off such relations anyway and the raid was a good way to bring about the step.
 In the future, if is assumed. the Soviots are 10 have official relations with Britain on strictly business basis. This should not be difficult in view of the fact that the Soviets enjoy recognition with various oth- CT "capitaIistic" nations without running counter to anti-propaEauda ideals. Gradually the Soviets may i learn that furtive attempts at prop i aganda in other nations actually does more harm than possible re- | turns.

To have plenty of firm flesh and the ability to do a big days work and feel like two-year old" at night, you must eat three good meals day, relish your food and properly digest it. If you can't eat, can't sleep, can't work, just give Tanlac the chance to do for you what it has done for millions.
 Mir. Stephen Vitale, of 127 Springdale Ave-, Meriden, Conn.,, says: q was weak, thin, puny boy and grew up to manhood in that condition. But Tanlac fixed me up. It increased my appetite and made my stomach all over so l could di- gest everything. l gained 25 lbs."
 Tanlac is wonderful for indiges- tion and constipation-gas, pains, nausea, dizziness and headaches. It brings back lost appetite, helps you digest your food, and gain strength and weight. It contains no mineral drugs; it is made of roots, barks and herbs, natures own medicines for the sick. The cost is less than 3 cents dose. Get bottle from your druggist. Your money back if it doesn't help.

pensive than a readiness to rely upon the potency of arms. The readiness of Germany 10 follow this new knight of peace, too, indicated that the masses Of Germans were through with universal willingness 10 serve as cannon fodder over the question whether national bound- ary should be a few miles further here or there. l1r, Sresemann taught his compatriots that a fight over a boundary costs more in blood and treasure than the few extra square miles are ever likely to be worth to anyone.

OUR EVENING SCHOOLS

Numerous residents of New Brit ain, employed in the day time but not through acquiring an education, again have the privilege of attend ing evening schools. The courses are of d wide range, filling the cultural and practical needs of citizenship in cosmopolitan city.
 The amount of education that can be obtained in the city free of charge Is worth pondering over. As matters stand today, those who for any req son were unable to secure a satisfac- tory education in their youthful years can now make up for this earlier deficiency by attending the night schools. All it requires is am- bition, perseverance and a wiling hess 10 substitute a desire to learn for the desire to be amused in spare time.
 Those who attend the night schools soon find. too, that mental application upon the studies selected are a good substitute for the cray ing for amusements Knowledge that the sacrifice of spare time is widening the individual mental ho- rizon. leading 10 curtural possibilities hitherto out of reach, and the eXer- else of the faculties as in a game, has compensations of most sub stantial sort, Then there is the addi- tional stimulation of possible ad- i dition to future earning power, or as in some cases, the requirement of specialized knowledge that can re- suit in securing a different and more pleasant Livelihood
 For an uncounted number our l evening schools have been a half ] dozen rungs in the ladder of success. Aside to that they contribute enor- mously 10 the well being and intelli- 1 gence of the community.

FAR-TLCNG INFLUENCE

The influence of an international statesman upon the affairs Of other men was strikingly Illustrated yes terday when Phillip Snowdcn, Brit ish chancellor of the eXchequer di- vested himself of a few remarks upon the financial situation. The stock market had been worrying along under medium pressure up to that point. When the tickers car ried the SuoWden statement an avalanche of selling started and be- fore the day was over the worst stock market break of the year had taken place. Stock market operat- ors had no kind words for MT. Snowdcn.
 The Bank of England had been forced to raise it's discount rate a few days previously. The Snowden statement Was ill reply to criticisms. The chancellor referred 10 the "or- gy" of speculation in Wall street, coming stress" on the stock eN- changes of the world, threatened in jury 10 trade. and that h. proposed to form a committee for an lnycs- tigation Of industry finance and credit conditions,
 It does not take even that much to throw shjyrrs into q nervous stock market.

INCREASING THE PARKS

Efforts being made to obtain more park sites in various sections of the city. as well as swimming pools, etc, is an. indication that a reasonable amount of foresight is being eXer- cised at City Hall. It is felt, or should be felt that if such efforts are not brought 10 q successful cul- imitation now it may be too late in the years to come, when the city will be more extensively "built-up" than at present.
 There is much idle land in parts of New Britain. Old-timers can re- call days, however, when sections now entirely covered with homes were vacant lots, and few citizens at that time thought they would ever live to see them disappear. Every year sees an expansion of the terri tory occupied by homes, however, and if sections Of the city deficient with parks are not provided with them now by observing officials the time inevitably will arrive when such lack of foresight will be universally deplored
 " hon rf o; +,, fathers going here and there to in- vestigate the possibility of adding a plot of ground, however small, to the city's park facilities one should be satisfied that the effort is very much worth while. A city never loses when such foresight is eXer- cised
 It is increasingly important tc have all sections of the city dotted with breathing spaces, especially for the young. It is of no universal bene. lit if q city's parking facilities are found in two or three sections only Parents like nearby parks becaus' their children have easy access tt them, Incidentally such breathing and playing spots keep the childreI off the streets, where they are eter nally in danger, The more parks WI have, however small some of then may be, the more lives throughou the years will be saved.
