GROCERY STORE CHAIN FOUNDER,
 J. BUTLER, DIES
Started Career as Farm Boy - Gradually Went
 Higher Sportsman

NEW YORK, Feb. 22-Jame e s Butler, founder of the grocery store chain and also a race horse owner, died here yesterday.
 MT. Buffers entry into the gro cery business was in the role Of packer of a friend whose interest he afterward purchased and then extended the business until it be- came a chain of approximately HOO stores.
 His utilization with the sport of kings after becoming affluent was a natural step because his fondness for horses was inherent, born of his association with them since his boyhood days on the family farm in Ireland. There he was born in the County Kilkenny, February 4, 1855, of farmer folk who had oc- cupied the same homestead for many generations.
 Worked on Farm
 AS a young man MT. Butler did his share of the farm work, meanwhile pursuing his studies in the National School of Rover par ish. At 20 he came to the United States to seek his fortune and be- gan where he left off at home, his first employment being as a farm CTS helper at Goshen Mountain, Mass.
 It took only a short time, how ever, for him to determine that his fortune was not in farming and he went to Chicago, where he went to work in the Sherman House. He was advanced from time to time until he had charge of the back of the house. and later removed to New York, filling similar positions in the Windsor and Murray Hill Ho- tels.
 Health Breaks
 Living at the hotels where he was employed. MT. Butler was on duty day and night, task that re- suited in impaired health. Advised by a physician to obtain a room where he could have regular rest, he went to live at the home of a former newspaper man. The latter also had suffered physical break down from work and had become a grocery clerk.

COLONIAL TRADE FRANCES HOPE FOR PROSPERITY
By RICHARD G. MAssocK

PARIS, Feb. 22.-France, gloom fly adding up her shrunken trade balances abroad, is looking to her colonies, in area the second great est, to help lift her out of the depression
 Feeling herself more or less iso- lated economically while other na- tions try to recapture elusive pros perity for their own, France is en- deavoring to become more self-reli- ant with aid of her 100,000000 in- habitants in both hemispheres and her 4,700,O00 square miles of terri tory.
 Buying Power Low
 How to sell more French prod ucts to the black, yellow and brown men who populate her vast African and Asiatic possessions is her prin- cipal problem, for hard times seems to have penetrated jungles, deserts and oriental rice swamps.
 By turns, the experienced admin istrators of the far flung territories, such as Jules Carde, governor gen. eral of Algeria. have been called into Little Cabinet" meetings of ministers intimately concerned with the problems of making the empire pry the mother country's business out of the red-ink column. The re- suits of these sessions have not been announced.
 Complicating the problem is the nature of the colonial population. The saucer-lipped Ubangi women of French Equatorial Africa, famil- jar to American circus audiences, are hardly potential customers for gowns of Parisian dressmakers. Neither are the bare skinned na- tives of West Africa, the nomadic Arabs and bedouins of Algeria and Morocco nor the yellow and brown skinned laborers in the rice fields of China in the market for much except essential clothing and what food they do not themselves raise.

Prior to the Baer fight, I'm
afraid, never took my training
any too seriously. OF course, I
did some training, but not the
right kind. For example, I never
bothered much about road work.
My manager says I used to do
my road work in a rocking chair

But I've learned my lesson!
Running Miles
Now I'm running miles and
miles over these snowy hills
every day and I'm feeling great.

Is to reverse the knockout which
Max Baer scored over me last
year.
Naturally, I also want to win
back my championship, but first
of all I want to get Baer into
the ring again. owe him a
licking and I'm determined to
see he gets it.
Next Tuesday I meet Steve
Hamas in Philadelphia in what I
hope will be the first step to-
ward a return match with Baer.
I'll be in excellent shape for this
fight and Hamas will have to
be very good indeed to win.
Following this fight I plan to
return to Germany to see my
wife, and on April 8 I expect to
meet Pauline in Spain. I'm go
ing to try my best to score a
kayo over the Basque. He has
never been knocked out, although
he has fought some good men,
including the champion, Carnera.
