3 No official communication about
the reported discord between Capt.
"Biff" Jones. Louisiana State Univer-
sity foot ball coach, and Senator Huey

Department officials said they did
not expect any because Jones as

coaching Is optional.
They said. Jones was free to resign
as foot ball coach whenever he
pleased. Department officials would

Jack Whalen, who won in the mems

receiving appreciable handicaps against

indeed, to repeat. No man has won

Baer on Right Track, but Two Men Not
Enough for Champions Big Fight Plan.
by JOHN IARDNER-

N IEw YORK, December It's
nj a fine idea of Max Baer's to
Y fight Lasky and Hamas on
the same evening, but it lacks
breadth and scope and vision. I
would like to see an astute social
secretary take the thing over and
stage q real party, with room In or
around the ring for Primo Camera,
Max Schmeling. King Levinsky. Jack
Peterson, Walter Neusel, Vittorio
Campolo, and several other eligible
young chaps.
Baer is on the right track. He fig
ures that his double header will elm
mate two heavyweights for the price
of one, saving the cost and trouble of
another elimination later on. But
why not eliminate all the heavy
weights at once? You could even
throw in half a dozen featherweights
and lightweights who require elimina-
ton.
They would not be noticed I'm
the scufiie and their disappear
ance would relieve congestion

I am also In favor of settling the
international debt situation and
various boundary problems on the
same night. II Camera, Schmeling,
Peterson and Campolo could be en-
powered to represent Italy, Germany,
England and South America, we
might eliminate the League of Nations
as well as several unnecessary prize
fighters.
Moved by Appetite for Cash.
VYyHEN Baer suggested this twin
" battle with Lasky and

course, by his appetite for cash
money. He's entitled to all he can
get. But that's no reason why other
individuals, industries and nations
shouldn't profit by the arrangement.

Washington Curiosities.
Washington is like no other city in
the world. 1t is a living curiosity
made up of the strangest and most
incongruous elements. 1t has a de-
lightful sense of instability about it
and, like the palaces of Aladdin
which flew away in the night, one
would not be surprised to awake some
morning and find himself on the
Potomac Flats without a building in
sight. 1t looks as if it had sprung
up in morning, or rather as if a
whirlwind had taken up some great
city and mixed the big houses up with
the little ones and cast the whole to-
gether in one miscellaneous mass,
keeping intact only the broad hand

the country. Broad and smooth,

carriages and hundreds of bicycles
which go spinning along them are
kept shining like black enamel and
polished silver.
But the houses are all jumb!ed to-
gether and a five-Story palace which
cost originally million dollars bumps
up against a shanty costing thou
sand, just as the owner of one crowds
the owner of the other on the Wash
ington streets. The shanty says to
the palace: This Is a free country;
we are equals; you are nothing but a
house and all your fine clothes make
you no better than me. am house,
too My master may be bigger than
yours during the next administration,
and then perhaps I shall be built up
and you'll be sold for that mortgage
which you know very well Is on your
roof"
The little houSes and the big ones
are all equal here, and so are the men.
Fine clothes go less toward making a
man in Washington than they usually
| do, and the rugged WeSterner clad in
| homespun can get as good credit at
the hotels as the New York dandy
with his broadcloth coat and his dia-
mond stud This cosmopolitan city
contains all sorts of costumes, and
the most simply clad are often the
richest and the greatest.
Editor Battelle of Toledo says the
Capital looks to him like a great
boarding house. The people do not
live in it. they merely stay. And so
it is that few people own property
here The renting class is very large,
and thousands live in suites of rooms
taking their meals in restaurants or
having them sent in by caterers.

that this does not mean St. Paul will

en- to bear down on speeders and
reckless drivers, in an effort to check
the rapidly mounting traffic death
toll in his city.
Any criminals found in St. Paul
who are wanted elsewhere will be
arrested, the chief declared. He said
he doesn't believe conditions in st.
Paul are as bad as have been pic
tured, probably no worse than in a
dozen other places. Informed of the
statement by H. E. Warren, commits
sioner of public safety that he ex-
poets the new chief to be "heavy

chiefs in St. Paul's underworld are,
and do something about it," Cullen
said he will do call I can"
