| LIGHTWEIGHT
CHAMP SOFT
PUNCHER
By JACK DEMPSEY


Few jobs are harder than to
guess who will grab the "dook"
fight for the worlds lightweight
championship in New York this
in the Sammy Mandell-A Singer
month.
Mandell is a superb fighter. AS
q boxer he takes rank with the
greatest champions Of all time.
He is q phantom. His moves are
lightning fast. On attack or on
defense he knows what to do.
when to do it and how. He
stands up unwaveringly before
punishment a testimonial to his
courage. He is always cool and
calm with an extraordinary ring
brain.
In the years that he has been
king of the division he has met
and beaten all comerS at the
weight. He made something OF a
punching sack out of the great
Jimmy McLarnin when he fought
Jimmy with the title at stake.
In a later battle, when both
were well above the poundage,
Jimmy evened up the score by
outpointing Sammy. That's
Sammy'S only defeat since he
climbed the throne seat.
If Sammy had q devaSta-
ting punch, such as Leonard,
Cans, and few of the others
had, he might be rated today
as the best lightweight of
them all. But that's his
weakneSS-lack of crushing
power in either hand.
He cannot stiffen good men.
He must beat them down with a
aight punching attack and gain
triumph by outstanding and out
Emarting them.
In the other corner will be
Singer, best lightweight develop
ment since Mandell's time. Singer
lacks the experience with which
Mandell is blessed; he does not
quite measure up to Sammy in
defensive skill, but he is perhaps
Just as fast, he is younger, and
Singer can hit.
Mandell'S chance for continua-
tion as champion depends upon
whether or not he has all his old
skill AID can keep Singer out of
range with the heavy guns.
Singers chance, of course, is
RnainlyaEce n t cred in getting
through Mandell's defense and
crc, hing soiidly to the chin.
# Mandell can block Singers
attacks, as he has that of other
men, he is a cinch to win. But
If Singer breaks down the Man
dell barrier and can help him
self to some blasts at Sammy
Mandell'S whisker department,
then Singer will be the next
champion.

GAMERS TO TALK
FOOD STANDARDS
[ConiiHued from FrSi Pa0e]

classes of canned food with the eX-
ception of meat, meat products and
milk.
The new law also authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture to pre-
scribe proper designations for those
canned foods which fall below the
standards. These designations will
also come up for discussion at the
hearing, which will be held at the
conference room of the new Depart
ment of Agriculture Building.
w. G. Campbell, director of regu-
latory work of the department,
pointed out that "the passage of the
Gamers amendment to the food and
drug act, marks a new era in pure
food legislation in that the amend
ment is the result of demand
from the industry government reg
istration."
He also explained that "the ayow-
ed purpose of the legislation is to
promote fair dealing in the interest
of the consumer by giving the Am
erican housewife fair warning on
the outside of the package whenever
the quality, condition, and amount
of food in the container is not that
which she reasonably has right to
expect"
Mr.. Campbell also pointed out
that among the shortcomings dealt
with in the tentative standards in
clude improper state or maturity,
blemishes, eXtraneous material. in
edible portions of the raw material,
abnormal colors and flavors, eXces-
sive trimmings, small size or lack
Of uniformity in the units, excessive
of liquid, and containers in
filled"
Director Campbell announced that
it was the hope of the department
that "the discussion and comment
at the hearing will make it possible
for the Food and Drug Administra-
ton to prepare standards for the
products in final form for prOmul-
cation by the Secretary of AgricGl-
ture in time to permit them to be
applied to next years pack. This
said Mr.. Campbell, that |
the standards should be issued be-
fore the canning season for that |
particular product starts in any se9-
ion of the country"

OUTLOOK POOR
TOR INCREASE IN
POULTRY PRICES
[Confinued from First Pagel

which was given over the radio on
November 26 byRoy c. Potts, chief
of the division of dairy and poultry
products, U. S. Department Of As-
riculture, in regard to the outlook
of prices for poultry and eggs for
the coming winter and spring
months. Mr.. Potts stated that no
general improvement in poultry
prices is anticipated for the re-
mainder of this year, and also that
present indications do not point to-
ward a very active egg market for
the early part of 1881.
The low market prices for poul-
try are due to the fairly large num-
ber of birds still on the farms, and
to the generally reduced purchasing
power of the consuming public as
the result of the depressed business
conditions, in addition to the fact
that the Improbable experiences of
cold storage operators last spring
have caused these men to be very
conservative in storing poultry this
fall. Those dealers who stored eggs
last spring also lost considerable
money on their holdings, so the de-
mand for eggs for storage next
spring is likely to be limited, with
the result that egg prices are not
expected to be very high this COM
ing winter.
Any marked change in the pOul-
try and egg markets for the next
few months, however, will depend
upon the possibilities of an I'M
provement in general business con-
ditions throughout the country with
an increased buying power of the
consumers which will in turn stim-
ulate the demand for these food pro
ducts. In the meantime the poul-
trymen are being advised to practice
more thorough methods of culling
their flocks, and to feed for a high
er production per bird in order to
reduce the cost of producing eggs in
their efforts to meet this present
economic situation.

QUARANTINE FOR
RABIES EXTENDED
[COatinncd from First Page]

years when in some portion OF the
State it has not been necessary to
resort to this repressive measure,
provided for by the law in order to
keep the disease under control. The
effect of this measure, if judged by
it's results, must be considered dis
appointing.
"That there have been few deaths
of human subjects can only be
looked ON as the result of peculiarly
fortunate circumstances, for the
continuation of which we have lit
tie reason to expect. A number Of
persons have been bitten during the
period and, while the early institu-
tion of treatment has up to the pres
ent been able to avert the outbreak
of the disease, the time will surely
come when this measure of preven-
tion will fail or will not have been
resorted to.
within the past week there have
been examined at the State labora-
tory three heads of animals which
undoubtedly showed evidence of the
presence of the disease. Several per-
sons are now under treatment in
New Castle county on account OF
their having been exposed to intec-
tion. In Sussex county, while it is
not known that any persons were
bitten, it is thought that number
of dogs received wounds from ami
mails in. the furious stages of the
malady, each one of which may
later develop the disease, for its
perpetuation and to the detriment of
many in the county. There, several
dogs examined within the week
must have been infected a number
Of weeks ago, though at the time
nothing was known of there being
a rabid animal in the vicinity. The
number of animals bitten then can
not now be determined, and there
may be still more cases developing
within the next week or two.
"That large percentage of the
persons injured by rabid animals
are children adds greatly to the ser
of the situation. The only
human death reported in the State
of recent years was that of child. !
These, if bitten, often receive in
juries about the face or ha1ds-in-
jury to which parts is most often
followed by the disease.
"The State Board of Health |
wishes to urge the strictest compli-
ance with quarantine regulation and
the destruction of all dogs which
may have been infected by an ami
NAL proved to have been rabid."

State president, in her address, urg-
ed adoption of this system and
spoke of the Importance of Sunday
{ school work and school work in the
w. c. T. U. Her address was follow
ed by the noon-tide prayer and Of
fering. Just previous to adjournment
|. for lunch, Mrs. Ella L. Galloway, of
Bethel, gave a report on medical
temperance.
The afternoon session was opened
at 1880 with singing led by DR.. and
Mrs. Caskie. The Scripture lesson
was read by Mrs. Clara Marshall, of
Lewes, followed by prayer by W. r.
Corcoran, of Seaford, and a salute
to the flag.
The principal address of the after
noon was made by Mr.. Wilson who
said in part:
"If we compromise with those
who refuse to respect and obey ma
tional temperance laws, the same
people will refuse to abide by any
restrictive laws whether state or ma
tional. The history of the great tenn
perance fight of 100 years when the
liquor traffic was outlawed proves
this.
"Political parties and public Off
cials were dominated and corrupted
by liquor long before prohibition.
That is why the advocates of tenn
perance turned to State and to Ma
tional prohibition.
"Where do the vets recruit their
votes? In Tammany controlled New
York city; in Chicago dominated by
racketeers; in Philadelphia with the
corruptest political machine in the
U. S. A.; in brewery controlled New
Jersey; in Boston and Baltimore
with 81 different varieties of human
ity.
where do the dry votes come
from? From beautiful upstate New
York and equally beautiful down
state Delaware-from the great
open spaces of the west and the hos
pitable home loving people of the
south.
"The great unabsOrbed foreign
sections of our cities are the re-
cruiting ground of the vets. Let the
blue bloods who are playing with
this crowd think it over. This great
conglomerate mass of humanity can
be controlled with liquor flowing |
but it cannot be educated |
and lifted from abject poverty while |
rum reeks its damnable toll.
LET no one tell you the temper
ance-prohibition laws cannot be en-
forced. They can be and they are
except in places where jelly fish
officials bend the knee to grating
politicians"
Following Mr.. Wilson's address
Mrs. NJ Evelyn Killen, of FELTON,, |
State moving picture director, gave
a complete report of her work. The
Rev. Roscoe Vining, State Superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League,

carried at the National Convention.
She also made a motion that the en-
church be given rising
vote of thanks. This was followed
BY the singing of the doxology and
The benedietion.

G ITTING before a blazing fire

felt all the joy of the Chr mas
season. What a wonderful time it
was! She smiled happily at her
husband and son. Then her
thoughts went back to that memo
rable Christmas years ago when
something had led her steps to the
Beacon Baby home. Again she
looked into the eyes of blue-eyed
baby and felt that sudden desire to
have him for their own. George
had readily agreed TO the adop-
ton. Bless his heart, he would
have agreed to anything to make
her happy. But the baby had
brought him happiness. too He
was now one Of the ablest lawyers
in town and had recently attracted
nationwide attention in winning Ii
complicated case. And the love
and cOmradeship he had given
them through the years was as
deep and fine as If he had been
their very. own.
