Path Apparently Is Cleared for Camera Meet Shdkey Ring
PRIMO IS PLACED
IN GOOD STANDING
Bout in New York Expected
to Be Definitely Listed
Within Few Days.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER.

M Carnera. who used to do bit
Of carpentering in Venice, was
hack in good standing In this
State today and prepared to battle
Jack Sharkey, Boston heavyweight, here
in June.
Madison Square Garden ofhcials may
have more than few words to say
about whether Camera shall be per-
mitted to meet Sharkey under the pro-
motorial banner Of James ]. Johnston
at Ebbets Field June 10. but present
indications are that the bout Is as good
as made and will receive approval from
the New York State Athletic Commits
sion.
The Garden insists that it holds Q
contract calling for Primo to battle no
one but the winner Of the forthcoming
Max Schmeling- Young Stribling heavy
weight titular fray at Cleveland July 8,
and notified the commission by letter
that 1t was prepared to go to the courts
to maintain its contract rights.
James A. Farley, chairman Of the
commission, had a snappy comeback
for this one. however:
This letter." he declared, lis writ
ten acknowledgment that Madison
Square Garden has been dealing with
a suspended boxer. We have rules pro-
viding very severe punishment for
that"
The commission intimated 1t would
recognize no contract signed with Car
nera while he was under suspension,
thus clearing the way for q Sharkey.
Camera encounter.
Definite announcement that such q
bout has been arranged Is expected
from. Johnston's headquarters within o
few days.
Camera had been under suspension
here since April a year ago, when the
local solons banned him in accordance
with similar action by the California
Boxing Commission. Camera had en-
gagged in an alleged fixed bout with
Leon Chevalier at Oakland. The Cali
fornia Commission announced Yesterday
that it would not lift its suspension on

written, Cobb, but Is pronounced Cove.
Many persons visiting Ireland call It
Cob-H, and some of the irreverent, now
that Roman type is in use, are disposed
to call 1t Cobbage. Gaelicised and put
in Roman type the popular name of
Murphy will read Murchadha.
Those who know the language or are
linguists say the Irish characters are
simple and beautiful in their forma-
ton and they insist that there is doubt
full economy in switching over to Roman
because the Irish aspirate avoids the
constantly recurring his.
The Free State police, who are re-
quired to learn Irish, favor the gramo-
phone method. But the question arises
whether in dispensing with textbooks
and learning by ear they will be able
to write in Irish. These records are
imported from England, as is the Gaelic
type which is being used in the Free
State.

DUBLIN. Especially - Not even the
most enthusiastic advocate of an Irish
speaking Ireland can set a measurable
date when English will be as little used
here as French or German in England
itself Nevertheless, the zealots are
pleased with the idea of an additional
tax on talkie films, for the spoken

But this is short-liyed comfort. The
language problem has taken another
turn, one embroiling the government
itself. The Civil Service Commission
has ruled, with government backing,
and in the cause of economy, that in
all printing with which 1t has to do
Roman instead of Gaelic type must
hereafter be used. There are only
eighteen characters in the Gaelic alpha
bet. 1t contains no such letters as
j. X, @. v, w. Y, or z. The equivalent
to the English letter v is c. with a dot

"BOOKSNEAF"

The Book Publishers Research
Institute recently gave us the word,
''booksneaf," meaning "a person who
habitually borrows books from
friends" i. e., "a victim to the per-
nicious habit of carrying away
books from homes and libraries of
friends and even casual acquaint-
ances." And now the National Puz-
zlers' League coins "ergophile,"
meaning zone who loves his work"
From far off Bavaria comes the sug-
gested international term, 'kitsch,"
with application to anything turned
out en- masse to cater to a suddenly
cultivated popular taste.
"BiscuitastrOphe" is a hybrid-a
"portmanteau word"-develope by
Harold Wentworth of the English
of Cornell University
for the particular use of June bride
groOms who are having trouble with
wifely pioneering in biscuit making.
Some people thought that Justice
William Hitz of the District of Co
lumbia supreme court had developed
a new legal definition in 'in terro-
rem," relating to a motion which he
declared filed to "scare" the court,
until legal lights showed common
use of the term in that connection.

BUTTER CONSUMPTION IN
CREASES WITH LOWER
PRICES, SAYS BUREAU

An increase in the consumption
of butter, particularly in European
countries, following the low general
level of prices is reported by the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
U. S. Department of Agriculture, in
its July summary of world dairy
prospects. This increase is noted
particularly in Great Britain where
the consumption of imported butter
for the present year from January
to June Is, was about 19 per cent
more than for the corresponding pc
riod of 1880. Imports of butter in
to Great Britain were 1913 per cent
heavier during the first five months
of this year than for the same pc
riod last year. Butter prices in i'm
portant foreign markets have also
tended somewhat higher in recent
weeks. In Germany, however, the
demand for foreign butter has de-
clined, imports decreasing along
with falling prices.
Domestic dairy production is
showing much more than the normal
seasonal decline and butter prices
are tending slightly higher. DAN
ish butter production has passed it's
peak, but continues heavy. Australia
is finishing a year of record eXpor-
tation of butter, the quantity exceed
ing any previous year on record.
The foreign trade of the United
States in dairy products continues
stable although the total volume is
the lightest in recent years.

B. W. d. NOT IMPORTANT

The above title is used in the an
nual report of the Wisconsin Expe-
riment Station in reporting on re-
search work carried ON at that in
stition with this disease. The re-
search workers conclude and figures
obtained, indicate that the above
title is correct. They say, "Investi-
cations have now demonstrated that
hens reacting to the agglutination
test for bacillary white diarrhea
(pullorum disease) lay as many
eggs as hens which are nOn-react-
ors, their eggs have equally high
hatchability and the little chicks
hatched from these eggs laid by re-
actOr-hens are as strong and vigor-
Gus, grow as well, and have as low
a death rate as little chicks coming
from eggs laid by non-reactor hens"
In analy2ing the figures we find that
3O4 hens were used in the inVestiga-
tiOn, of which 1876 were reactors and
205 were nOn-reactOrs. Both Barred
Rocks and Single Comb. White Leg
horns were used. The reacting
Barred Rocks laid an average of
206 eggs, the nOn-reactors 1913 eggs.
The reacting White Leghorns laid
an average of 207 eggs and the nom
reactors 209 eggs.
Fertile eggs from the reacting
Barred Rocks showed 73 per cent
hatchability as compared with &C
per cent for the nOn-reactors. The
hatchability for reacting White Leg
horns was 63 per cent and for the
So per cent. They say:
1.-THE mortality for 2,614 chicks
Matched from eggs laid by reacting
hens was IA per cent, while for g.
913 chicks Matched from eggs laid
by non-reacting hens, the mortality
was ~ per cent"
The vitality and Inability of
chicks were measured by the num-
ber which died from removal from
the incubator up to four months of
age.-(C (Contributed)
