collection of inductrial educational films the
collection including 700 sets of films and
stretching out 100000 feet There are nearly
so subjects covered in these films subjects
which have found welcome audience among
various civic, industrial church and Federal

The subjects vary all the way from the
operation Of q diamond drill which drives
hundreds Of feet down into the ground to the
pouring of q huge $500 pound ingot of iron

Goals YeMWarlNaskCar6on

|HOSE who remember during the World
War the campaign carried on to save
coconut and other nut shells for the
manufacture of gas masks would be
very unlikely to see a recurrence during an
other war. Constant experimentation carried
on by the Bureau of Mines since that time has
revealed other and more accessible sources of
the activated carbon supplied by the nut shells
This experimentation was in the interest of
industrial enterprises, of course, but the lessons
learned could be turned readily to war use
should conflict once more bring the warning
siren announcing the launching of gas attack
Anthracite Goals, highest in carbon and lowest
in ash, volatile and sulphur contents, have been
found best fitted for production of the activated
carbon. The coal is treated in a process during
which it is ground and briquetted with coal
tar or similar binder and then heated TO a
temperature nine times the boiling point of
water.
The -bituminous ignites and some BIZ
luminous Goals as well as certain types Of wood
and nut shells also sources of the activated
carbon, but the anthracite offers the best and
most available source of supply in case of
great emergency demand such as a war might
bring.

COTTONSEED meal is growing in popularity
as a fertilizer and for the year ending
July 81, 1880. the total so employed was 900
tons. This was nearly 10 per cent of all the
cottonseed meal produced.
The meal is especially valuable as q lawn
fertilizer, although some care is necessary in
handling it In order that it win not be tracked

Jewish Community Center.
Griff is a boys man. He's been
that ever since he came here
back in 1912, and no doubt was
long before that. Anything
that is for the benefit of the
boys is right down Griff's alley.
He started the custom OF
sending bats and balls to
France for the boys to utilize
during their moments out of
the trenches. He's adopted five
boys in his lifetime, one OF
whom, little Bruce, SucCumbed
to anemia a couple of years
ago. The other four boys, Cal

are happy youngsters, and
Griff'S getting a great kick out
of fostering them.
Thousands of Boy Scouts OF
Washington have taken advan-
tage of Griff's custom of admit
ting quotas of them to the park
on certain days, and the boys

BRITISH CROWN
To GOLFER, z

WESTWARD HO, England,
May 22.-Eric Martin-Smith, %
year-old Cambridge University
undergraduate, today defeated
John De Forest, son of wealthy
British baron, l up, to win the
British amateur golf champion
ship voluntarily relinquished by
Bobby Jones.
Both practically unknown to
big-time golf prior to their over
riding of all the favorites in the
earlier round of the present
championship, De Forest and
Smith fought a stirring duel
through SO holes of the final
match, with the result in doubt
until the last green was reached.
Smith never was behind, but
was never far enough in the lead
to have a commanding advantage
over De Forest.
The defeat of De Forest wiped
out the last faint American link
with the present championship.
De Forest, although a Britisher
had taken a number of lessons
from Horton Smith, popular Jop-
lin. Mo-, professional.
De Forests putter was chiefly
responsible for his downfall.
Time and again he failed to sink
easy puts which would have
squared the match or have given
him a lead.

often turns a soft cheek to a
hard one or something - re-

thrills and daring tactics, almost
any other wrestler in the Curley
outfit can yank 'em out of their

than can LondoS, who, Wlthal,
has admirable qualities IN the
wrestling square.
It would be difficult to imagine
a card, for instance, made up
of more fireworks than was
produced in the open air last
evening, yet there was no Londos
or Lewis on the bill to pro-
vide a championship tinge.

today as it starts on it's defense of
it's inter-high school track title at
the Central Stadium. Central
looms bigger and more threaten
ingly as the event nears.
The Lincoln Parkers. with three
major track championships in its
bag, must win today's test to save
it's prestige. Yet, though facing
the least formidable field of the
season. it is in the gravest danger
of defeat.
Central is strong in the de-
partmentS in which Eastern is
cOnSpicuOuSly weak, while Tech.
is inclined to give way to Cen
in the events in which both are
strong.
The meet calls for IA different
tests, with Eastern favored to
score in the two hurdle specialtieS,
in the broad and high jump and
the pole vault. Central has the
discus, javelin and shot-put and
the daShes sewed up, and stands
out for the mile run. Tech is
concentrating on the 80-yards and
the relay.

PICK
Ia BARBA
To WIN

NEW YORK, May 22.-Lion-
hearted bat" Battalino, holder
of the featherweight title since
1929. will be in grave danger OF
losing his crown tonight when he
meets Fidel LaBarba, most for
midable contender for the title,
over the 15-round championship
distance at Madison Square Gar
den.
In LaBarba, the champion is
facing one of the master boxers
of this day and age. Brainy,
cool and calculating, and equip
ped with a keen ring generalship
cleaned from II years of boxing,
the former Los Angeles newsie is
a vest-pocket edition of Tommy
Loughran. And for his weight,
he hits harder than Tommy.
If there is to be a knockout,
however, the champion likely will
be the one to score it. His wal
lops are more devastating than
LaBarbaS and he has never been
stopped himself.
FideI is a 13.tO-1O favOrite,
with considerable last-minUte
fIuctuatiOn in the odds. Early
this week the Californian fig
ured to go to the post a 2-tO.1
choice.
Boxing scribes who subsequently
watched Battalino work out found
him to be in grand shape for the
first time in nearly six months
as the result of a week Of siren
uous training.
Since he last defended his title
against Kid Chocolate here in De
cember, Battalino has taken two
drubbings in over-the-weight bouts.
His training for these affairs was
perfunctory, however, while today
he is in grand condition.
In training this week the cham
pion's Sparring partners found
him an easy target for left hooks,
and Mater Fidel, if anyone should
leap out of a hearSe and question
you. has one of the best left
hooks in the business.
On comparative perform
ances, LaBarba holds an edge
over the champion. Fidel beat
Chocolate, by a margin OF
eight city blocks, he also
trimmed Kid Francis, who
showed an equal superiority
over Eddie Shea. And Shea
trimmed BattalinO during the
winter.
Francis, incidentally, has a style
very similar to Battalino'S, and
is a better defensive boxer than
Bat. When the latter bores in
with a two-fisted attack as
Francis did. LaBarba will box his
ears off just as he did with
Francis, is the opinion of most
experts and of LaBarba himself.
Both Battalino and LaBarba
are of italian descent, and both
were national amateur cham
pions before turning profess
sional. Fidel is seeking his sec
ond professional crown. having
formerly held the flyweight
championship.
Battalino will profit hand
somely in a financial way even
If he should lose tonight, ac-
cording to reports. It is said
that he will receive $35, 900 from
LaBarba if the latter wins.
