was she to come. You both must
have known that.
You have also taken a great risk

my advice to you is to run no more

else for whom you can care. But

SITUATION IN
HEAVY RANKS
BADLY MIXED
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

I
NEW YORK. Jan. s. U.P)-The
heavyweight boxing situation is LA
BILE to be in the trenches all winter.
The various parties concerned
have been arguing for several
months about who was to fight
whom and where, and today the
whole business was in worse mess
than ever before.
Yesterday the situation had ap-
parently narrowed down to a Strib-
ling -Schmeling fight in Chicago in
June Today, according to Joe ia
cobs, manager of Schmeling and the
key man to the controversy, three
other cities-Philadelphia, Detroit
and Jersey City-had equal chances
with Chicago to land the fight.
Pa Stribling. senior member OF
the famed boxing double play COM
bination-Pa to Ma to Willie-ar-
rives today by plane from Miami.
Despite Jacobs talk of the fight
going to some other city than Chi
cago, the Windy City will probably
get the bout. The stadium people
have already guaranteed Jacobs
S500,000 for Schmeling's services and
Stribling is highly partial to Chi
cago.
William F. Carey. president of the
Garden, was scheduled to leave for
Boston today in an effort to sign
Jack Sharkey to meet Stribling or
some other leading contender in a
bout which the commission will re-
cognize as championship affair
Carey, however, expressed doubt
that even with Sharkey signed he
could get Stribling to meet the

RAMIREZ OVER
LONG DISTANCE

While interest naturally centerS
on the Bobby Pacho-Dios Dado

look the Alcante-Ramirez scrap are
overlooking a bet for real rousing
battle.
These boys met before at the Main
Street Athletic club in Los Angeles.
going six rounds to a shade decision
for Ramirez, who is practically un-
beatable at the Main street club
There were six knockdowns in the
scrap, each boy getting one. They
are due to travel over the 10 round
route here and the longer distance
should give them an opportunity to
find out which is really the better
man.
Ramirez is a steady main eventer
at the Main street club. He has the
fans up around there thinking he
could lick Jack Dempsey, and he
really is a good boy.
Alicante is shy on experience, but
he is heavy walloper and showed
it by slowing Teddy Palacios away
in the local arena few weeks ago
Then he proved his gameness by
staying 10 rounds with Sammy
Aguirre, after the latter had him
out at the end of the second round
Alicante being saved from a knock

Pacho and Dado are sure TO show
the fans plenty of stuff in the final
half of the double main event.

show with Young Figueroa.

The opinion prevails mere IN au-
thoritative circles bid peddling tactics
with reference to Federal construc-
ton contracts have been dealt a fatal
blow in the decision just handed down
by Controller General j. r. McCarl
ordering the abrogation Of the $4,000

Boston postoffice.
The contract was awarded by the
Treasury Department to N. P. Sew

mitted the lowest bid after the De-
partment several times had called for
supplemental bids by contractors who
bid on original specifications adyer-
tised. TIE controller held the re-
vised specifications should have been
readvertised. His decision will affect
the entire Government building pro-
gram.
Pointing out that in the supple
mental bidding the SEVERN Company
reduced its original figure $l,029,00O
despite more costly material being
specified, McCarl declared the con-
tract was not let after advertising, as
required by law, nor IN conformity

CANADIAN BUSINESS
OUTLOOK HELD BETTER
New Tariff Walls Helping Certain
Industries-Many U. S.
Plants Opened.

Although the trend of trade activity
In Canada during the past year has in
evitably been In the direction Of that
followed by United States business, the
tendency toward depression has in
many cases been considerably modified,
says current survey by the Standard
Statistics Co., which follows, in part:
This tendency has been substanti-
ated in part by official government sta
tisticS, which show, for example, that
industrial production in February was
lis per cent below a year previous, as
compared with decline of nearly IS
per cent in the United States En-
ployment in Canada has also been rela-
lively steady, because of continued ac-
tivity in the construction and mining
industries.
1.-The upward revision in Canadian
tariff schedules last Fall and the pros
pect that further increases may be
granted during the current session of
Parliament are affording a needed pro-
lection to several important industries.
An indirect effect of the protectionist
policy has been the recent added influx
OF foreign branch plants, mostly Ameri-
can, the establishment of which has
been encouraged by municipal authori-
ties and which has resulted in further
benefits to construction, power and
labor.
Subject to intermittent checks, we
believe that the saturation point in the
development of the building construc-
ton and hydroelectric power industries
is still in the more distant future. On
the other hand, the Canadian news
print situation is extremely unsatisfac-
tory. and we expect that readjustment
in this industry and scaling down Of
its capital structure is a near-term
probability

AMERICA NEARS
SURGE Of ART

HILADEL ELPHIA. May S.
American art is on the verge of a
renaissance comparable to that
rebirth Of culture in italy in the
latter part of the Fifteenth CEN
tury which gave the world Del
Sarto, De Vinci and Primaticco.
That opinion was expressed
here yesterday by an information
ally famous sculptor, Max Kalish.
"When Prosperity Comes
AS America emerges from the
darkness of it's financial depres-
sion into the clear light Of pros
perity, so it will emerge from a
period of mediocre art into IAN
other renaissance" he said. He
continued:
with the return of pros
perity, American will turn to art
and literature.
Throughout history nations
have undergone that reaction.
Europe today expects America
to achieve a place of artistic
greatness which will equal or
surpass that attained by France
and Italy when they emerged
from the gloom of the Middle
Ages.
How Great Art Comes
"Great art comes from COM
mercial development, which
brings with it leisure and a de-
sire for culture. We will natu-
rally turn to the cultural fields,
although our art. of course, will
be of a more materialistic ma
ture than that of the Greeks or
the Italians.
eve will express the tempo Of
our day, the clash, the struggle
for existence. Our art will deal
with the man at the machine,
the worker in the mines, and
the riveter who drives home the
bits of steel which help to
create our SkyScraperS."
