Public Slightly Apathetic.

IF YOU don't care to consult the
fuzzy facts and figures for fur
ther evidence of disparity, consider
that Louis is not only the fighting
sensation of the day but the author
of the new boom in pugilistic profits;
that he's under a five-year contract
to fight for the New York syndicate
headed by Michael Strauss Jacobs,
and that the stock in Louis, Preferred,
Is selling strictly on long-term basis.
Despite few million words of bally-
hoo, the fight has failed in advance to
stir any frended debate or arouse par
ticular emotional appeal. Mainly for
the reasons set forth, the advance sale
this week has only passed the $500, 900
at $1,000,000, but there is every reason
to believe it will be highly artistic
success, from the standpoint of pro-
motion, as we'll as what Louis will

= the human Babel sounded at
Jack Dempsey's menage.
There wasn't q boxing writer pres
ent who gave Max Schmeling chance
to 60 beyond six rounds, and most of
them called the spot somewhere be-
tween the first and fourth.
There were times when the voices
of the debaters rocked many Of the
nearby dishes.
II generally was agreed that
IL Schmeling could beat Louis,
IL would be the major upset in
all sport.
At this point some one brought up
the question as to what should be list
ed as the greatest upset in boxing
hisory on the heavyweight side. How
would the answer compare with the
Schmeling outlook?
Corbett Was Thought Daffy.
7 OUIS Is rated as 5 to choice
over the earnest German. But
back in 1892. at New Orleans, "the
Grand Old Tub from Boston" John
Lawrence Sullivan, was showed in at
the same odds above James J. Corbett.
George Ade, who covered that fight,
says that not one in hundred even
gave Corbett an outside chance. when
Corbett said the odds should be
to / on him." Ade says, both Bill
Brady and myself thought he was
just a trifie daffy."
The next shock came when
the raw, ponderous Jeffries
knocked out Bob Fitzsimmons-
at a time when JEFF had only
IL fights under his belt.
"What would have been the odds, I"
some one asked. that Firpo would
knock Dempsey out of the ring in the
first round?"
That was conceded to be good so
to / shot. But the fact remains that
Dempsey won in the second round.
Baer Champ Odds Upsetter.
DEMPSEY was to to beat Tun-
ney in Philadelphia-but Tunney
won something like of the 10 rounds.
"And don't forget" some one cut
in, that Max Baer was an 8-to-1
shot over Jim Braddock-and Baer
won only of the Is rounds"
The concluding vote was that the
major upsets were Corbett over Sulh-
van, Jeffries over Fitz, Tunney over
Dempsey and Braddock over Baer

A CATHEDRAL RESTORED

That the magnificent Rheims Cathe-
dral has been restored, after the terrible
damage it suffered during the war, is most
pleasing to every lover of architectural
beauty. Americans take especial pride in
the fact that this restoration was maze
possible largely through the generous do
nations of John d. Rockefeller, Jr., of
New York.
Rheims Cathedral is one of the finest
specimens of Gothic architecture in the
world, as we'll as one of the most historic
1t stands on the site of former church in
which Clovis, founder Of the kingdom of
the Franks, was baptized in the year 496.
There is French legend to the effect that
a dove brought from heaven sacred vial
of oil for the baptism.
The present cathedral was begun in
1912 and completed about century later,
but numerous alterations have been made
from time to time. Here Joan of Arc
caused Charles VII to be crowned in 1929,
and here the kings of France were crowned
for several centuries
Many of the elaborate sculptures
which adorn the cathedral were destroyed
or damaged by bombardments during the
war, but fortunately photographs and
casts existed TO enable artists to copy the
lost masterpieces. So, once again Rheims
Cathedral stands forth in its pristine glory

EASTER

Easter is observed by Christians in
cOmmemoration of the resurrection OF
Christ, but its observance is really an out
growth of the Jewish Passover.
There is no mention of Easter in the
New Testament, nor in the writings of the
apostolic fathers In fact, neither Christ,
nor any of his apostles, suggested the
keeping of this or any other festival.
But as most of the early Christians
were drawn from the Jewish church, it
was. natural that many of the old Jewish
festivals continued to be observed by them
and gradually passed into the Christian
calendar.
In the ancient church the celebration
of Easter lasted eight days. but after the
eleventh century it was limited to three,
later to two, and finally to one.
The proper time for the observance OF
Easter has been the subject of bitter con-
troversy among various Christian groups,
and at one time no less than seven East
ers' were celebrated in a single year. In
fact, the Greek church did not adopt the
date used by the rest of the world until
1928, SO that only during the last IL years
has all of Christendom observed Easter
simultaneously.
According to present usage, which
conforms to the date established by the
Council of Nice in the year 1875, Easter car
not fall upon a date earlier than March
%, nor later than April 25, it having been
decreed that it should be the first Sunday
after the full moon following the vernal
equinox.
The last time Easter fell on March %
wa in 1918, after which about three GEN.
turtles must elapSe before it occurs on that
date again. 1t fell or April rs the last
time i'll 1843, but will not occur so late in
any year of the present century.

PREVENTING AUTOMOBILE DEATHS

The automobile death toll for January
and February is given as 1880 by the Ma
tional Safety Council, which inaugurated
a campaign this year to cut the number of
motor accidents. In 1885, says the Coun-
Gil, was 4,710, which means an improve
Tent of three per cent for this year.
The fact that more than seventy-five
persons are killed every day, in the United
States in motor vehicle accidents is enough
to emphasize the necessity of concerted
action by officials everywhere to stop this
slaughter
Here is an opportunity for an in
dividual community to do something for
itself without waiting on the State govern
ment or the Federal government. Records
prove rather conclusively that where traf-
fic regulations are enforced and motorists
promptly punished for attractions, the
death rate goes down.
In Key West, for example, rigorous
prosecution of those who wilfully violate
traffic rules will even lessen the Island
City's small contribution to the national
dead from motor vehicle accidents, and,
what is more important, save some family
here the expense and grief that goes with
these casualties.

question the wisdom Of saving. They

deprived Of your substance.
The latest body blow Is the pro-
posal of the administration to tax the
undistributed profits Of corporations.
The idea is to induce corporations to
distribute all Tor practically alb Of
their annual earnings to their stock
holders, so that the latter will be able
to spend more freely. The more divi-
dends the stockholders receive. the
more money. also. the Government
can extract from them in income
taxes. The administration proposes.
to be sure. to exempt corporations
from the payment of the customary
income tax. but government rev.
enue will be increased if the new
proposal be adopted. because it is
more practicable to apply the prin-
ciple of progressive taxation to indi-
viduals Through Surtaxes) than it is
to apply it to corporations.
The proposal to penalize corpora
tons for thrift and conservatism is
highly unwise. 1t would seem to be
only ordinary business prudence to
hold, In good years. a substantial pro-
portion of the profits in the treasury
as a protection against su d n
changes in conditions. due to inven-
tons. shifts in fashion. and other un-
foreseeable factors.
The policy Of ploughing the profits
back into the business also permits
industrial growth without excessive
esort to borrowing. and thus
strengthens the corporate position.
The Administration recognized this
point some months ago in criticizing
the railroads for not paying of their
bond issues as opportunity had pre-
sented itself in the past. The proposed
tax on thrift will greatly accentuate
the booms and depressions of the
future. Would not this seem to be a
conclusive argument against it?
