Conversation
The main topic Of conversation
on the Main Stem today Is the
heavyweight scrap tonight between
Sharkey and Schmeling, premier
boxers Of the present crop Of me-
diocre heavies.
It is hoped that Sharkey will win
by a knockout early in the fight,
and betting. what little there Is OF
it, is in that direction. Odds in the
north are 8 to ) for Sharkey, but
this IS difficult mathematics for
some sports in Brownsville and the
betting is either eve or ? to !.
The consensus Of opinion around
the stem is that If Sharkey puts up
the fight he is capable Of, he will
win; but If he doesn't, it's Just too
bad for the United States Of Amer
lea. The Allies won the war, but
Germany may win the heavyweight
championship. Which is the most
important. to some persons, Is a
moot question.
When Sharkey is good. he is very
very good. but when he Is bad he
ought TO be shot.

Chambers Of commerce over the

this habit Of paying a convention

WASHINGTON-It makes a good

tary Of labor TO succeed James

One good and sufficient reason
why the numerous endorsements Of
Miss Abbott for the job will be ig-
nored IS that it would be 4 rather

reputation for cautious, c~onserva-
tive craftsmanship is well known.
She's No Stuffed Shirt
More Importantly than that, Miss
Abbott. as chief Of the u. S. Chill
Gren's Bureau for many years. has
1ot shown that she possesses some
OF the prime qualifications for a
secretary Of labor.
In the first place, a secretary OF
labor must be something OF a
stuffed shirt, with a gift for max
trg long-winded speeches about
nothing in particular. He-or she
must have a genius for inaction,
a positive flare for never doing any

MEXICO CITY, July 5.-A complete
reorganization of the migration STATS
at both the American and Guatemalan
borders, in order to further encourage
laborer, has been ordered by Secretary
OF the Interior Carlos RivA Palacio
Secretary Riva Palacio has instructed
Andres Landa Y Pima, chief of migra-
tlon, TO appoint competent person as
director OF migration along the Ameri-
can border, to be stationed at Nuevo
Laredo. This person is to reorganize
the entire migration staff along the
border, taking care that every member
tured and educated.
Along the Guatemalan border, with
headquarters at Tapac1ula, State of
Chlapac, through which port of entry
most Of the Central American immi-
grants come to Mexico, Noises Salcedo
has just been named director Of mi
grafton.
The order for the reorganization OF
the. migration staff comes upon the
mere from American tourists who
charged that they we're unnecessarily
molested at the border upon entering
Mexico. The new staff will be instruct
ed to see that all tourists are granted
all possible accommodations, that nc
undesirable foreigners enter the repub-
&c and that Mexicans emigrating meet
all the requirements of the country to
which they are going.
It is explained that reorganization OF
the migration service is being installed
| first at the borders, since there is more
immediate necessity for changes there
than along the coasts.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. LP).-wide-o open
epaces in the map of Texas have been

Two important developments bearing
upon the tranquility of the reign of

for the abdication of Carol, left today

in circles close to the palace.
Prince Stirbey was requested by King
Ferdinand to form a national ministry
in June, 1927. and it was then assumed
that he would exert the practical in

paper stories were published in 1926
in which Prince Carol was said to have
objected to Prince Stirbey. Subsequent
stories quoted Carol stating he would
return if Prince Stirbey was dropped
as court adviser. The Prince Stirbey
cabinet resigned June 81, 1927.
Legal proceedings for annulment of
the divorce of Carol and Helen will
be instituted next week, thus effecting
an end Of the official separation of more
than a year. Carol was said to have
spent a great deal of time recently
with his wife and his son, during which
time the little fellow, who obviously
had been lonesome for his father, had
melted the reserve OF his royal parents
