DEMPSEY LOSES
IN BOUT WITH
KING LEVINSKY
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY


CHICAGO. Feb. 19.-Jack Demp-
sey had the first setback Of his
comeback campaign registered
against him TODAY. but he is not
ready to retire.
King Levinskv. Chicago young
ster. shaded the former heavy
weight champion IN a four-rouno
exhibition bout last night at the
Chicago stadium before 23,322 per
sons. a new indoor boxing record.
The gross gate receipts were
S74.l9994, of which Dempsey re-
ceived about $4,000 and Levlnsky
about $1,000.
A poll of q working newspaper
men at the ringside on the out
come gave Levinsky is votes,
Dempsey =. with four even.
I know I looked bad last night,
Dempsey told the United Press to-
day, but I expect to have TO take
a little the worst Of it as I go
along to get back into proper
shape. I don't know whether I
won or lost the fight. but If the
newspapermen say l lost, well, !
guess I did. Levinsky is tough and
has a dangerous right hand, but
not one OF his punches hurt me.
We are going along just as we have
for a month or SIX weeks longer.
One bout isn't enough to deter
mine whether I have 4 chance 10
bid for the title.
Dempsey, making his first ap-
pearanoe in q Chicago ring since
he floored Gene Tunney for the
celebrated ID count" in 1927,
looked like a weak carbon copy Of
the Dempsey VINO slaughtered
Willard. Carpenter and Firpo.
1t was not Dempsey's legs that
looked bad last night. but his arms
During part OF the third round and
the final round Dempsey was arm
weary. He kept walking right into
the witherng fire from Levinsky's
two fists. shaking off punches and
moving forward, but once inside
he failed TO throw punches any
thing like he did even against
Meyer (K.O9 Christener 4 week
ago at Cleveland.
Neither Hurt
There were no ZnockoownS and
neither fighter was in real distress
at any stage. Dempsey carried the
fight to Levinsky most all the way
even though he failed to do much
punching in the last round and a
half. He stung Levinsky several
times early in the fight, when he
had the former fish peduler re-
treating from him as fast as Tun-
ney ever did.
Il don't think Dempsey is 50
tough,' Leyinsky said after the
bout. but ne can still punch.
However, I'd like to meet him in
a 10-round fight"
The huge crowd. which over
flowed into the aisles gave Dempsey
a rousing tribute when he entered
the ring and left il. Later in the
terrace garden Of the Morrison
hotel where Dempsey was the guest
Of honor, he was given another
great cheer by the crowd which
hardly noticed LevinSky, w. l.
Stribling or any OF the other
celebrities.

Don't
Quote Me-
BY United Press

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1e.-Hand-
| shaking is a political institution al
most as old as elections, but its
wear ana tear on presidents is ap-
+ palhng.
Lesser figures. hoping some day
! to occupy the gracious Pennsylyan-
/ ia avenue mansion, can be fairly
, promiscuous in grasping fingers
with every casual paSSerby. Some
have been known to pull themselves
to vast official heights by the right
hand fingers of their fellow man. \
In the White House. however.
ones viewpoint is likely to change.
With increased transportation Ia
cilities thousands come annually to
the capital Each seems to cherish
the ambition Of graspingthe Pres
idents right hand. A large per-
.centage achieve the goal.
In addition, the chief executive Is
obliged by time honoTed custom TO
hold a series Of receptions annual
". which a thousand to $500 per-
sons attend. Each must shake his
hand and to each he must give a
word of greeting.
Many subterfuges have been
sought to avoid this painful ordeal.
President Coolidge, according 10 an
observer OF his activities, would
lower his eyes at each approaching
candidate and. by dint of long
practice. succeeded in grasping the
visitors finged tips.
II did not result in the most sat
isfying handshake, but prevented
the ''pumphandle type OF hand
shaker from running off with any
OF the presidential fingers.
Once sure of his hold. Mr. Cool
idge would look the visitor in the
eyes, greet him. shake his hand
and let him pass on.
President Hoover is less strategic.
He stands his ground and takes his
punishment. If a particularly heavy
pumping causes him almost to lose
his balance, he gives no indication
of annoyance.
Sometimes after q reception TO
the army. the navy and the ma
rines, notably red blooded hand
shakers, or to other groups of
fortnight aggregations, his hand is
bruised and swollen.
The only notice he takes Of 1t, it
is said, is to retire and soak the
offending member in a healing an
tiseptic lotion. At the next recep-
ton he has to be back for more.
The recent announcement that
Mr.. Hoover will discontinue the
handshakes to delegates of conven-
tions of one sort or another is re-
ported prompted by something
more than fatigue.
The George Washington bicenten-
nial is about to open and more
than 160 organizations are sched-
uled TO hold coventions here. To
extend the handshake courtesy to
one would demand a similar priyi-
lege to all. The inroad on the Pres
idents time when scores and hun
dreds of problems call for consid-
Grafton would prove too great.

Parents Of ten thousand high school
seniors are wearing anxious looks as
they wonder what the future holds for
their children. When every position
has dozens of applicants, the compe-
tition for place In the industrial or
ganization Is extremely keen. Now as
never before must young men and wo-
men be trained for their jobs, but the
uncertainty Of income In these trying
times makes parents less able than
ever before to provide their children
with costly higher education.
Four communities In this state are
solving the problem by supporting
junior colleges. In these institutions,
managed by the local school admins
tration, boys and girls who are ready
for college work are given the first
two years Of that work at but frac-
ton Of the cost to parents and at no
cost to the state.
The first junior college in Washing
ton was started at Centralia in the
year 1925 and in the succeeding five
years has shown a steady growth I'M
til it has no six times it's original en-
rollment. The Mount Vernon JJunior
College, commenced one year later,
has shown similar steady increase,
commencing with Is students and now
registering more than 100. East of
the Cascades, the Yakima Junior Col
lege has been in operation four years,
beginning with 106 students and in
creasing about fifteen each year. At
Aberdeen the Grays Harbor Junior
College is entering it's second year with
an enrolment of $50 students COM
pared with 102 last year. All four col
leges are Offering a considerable range
CT academic subjects and are doing 6,
type of work that meets with the APP
prevail of all the higher institutions of
the state and of the State Board Of
Education. Parents in these commun-
tiles are keeping their boys and girls
at home during the early years of col
lege life, are assuring them the foun-
dations of higher education during
the period when they are unable to
earn for themselves and are doing this
at much smaller cost than had these
boys and girls been sent to distant
schools.
The junior college movement in the
state of Washington is but part of
a nationwide development that has
come about in recent years. There
are now some ATS junior colleges in
some AZ states in the union. While
most of these colleges have been han
dicapped by inadequate public support,
they have increased at tremendous
rate showing the vitality of the move

Land Values Drop
Only Two Per Cent

Land values in Washington de-
clined only 2 per cent from March 1,
1880, to March l, 1881, in comparison
with an average drop of 9 per cent for
the entire United States, a study by
the federal department of agriculture
has shown.
"The Pacific Coast states and the
mountain states are among the few
sections Of the nation that experienced
the least decline in land values" said
2. E. Balmer, director of extension
work in the Washington State college,
in commenting upon the report.
"The general decline was IL per cent
in the north central and south Atlant-
ic states. North Carolina and Ar
kansas led the land value declines fol-
individual states with reductions of %
per cent. The decline was least felt in
the Pacific northwest and the New
England states, the latter being favored
by large consuming centers and lin
tied transportation costs.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

There is food for thought for every one inter
ested in the welfare of this valley in the recently
completed report of R. Beeuwkes, Milwaukee rail
road engineer, on the possibility of generating and
marketing surplus power at Priest Rapids.
AS the Milwaukee is to do the financing in the
rehabilitation of the project, Mr.. Beeuwkes' in
vestigation was conducted in their interest," to de-
termine the feasibility of the proposed develop
ment we'll the value of the collateral to secure
the funds to be advanced.
In his findings he has apparently made every
possible deduction and the net revenue to be de-
rived from the sale of this power is therefore
likely to be rather than less than his estimate
eWhat fine thing it would have been if the wa
ter users under the project could have looked
forward to the applying of the $4,000 net revenue
from the sale of surplus power on their water
charges for the coming irrigation season.

Extending Use Of
Electricity on Farms

Rural electric projects for 1892 were

was approved when the Washington
committee on the relation Of electricity
to agriculture met recently at Yakima.
Among the new projects planned are

development work on poultry water
heaters, and study Of a satisfactory
device for economically heating stock

ment. Educators and economists every
where are watching the movement with
interest as very practical way of
tightening the load Of higher education
now borne by the state and at the same
time lessening costs to the Individual

of preparing his children for the Sc
