Every now and then he made a
gallant but sporadic stand, coming
off a beating by Armstrong-and
some of those punches were no
body'S skin lotion-to fight back
with amazing vitality. He did
that in the fifth when Armstrong
nailed him with a right on the
ropes and later hooked a left into
the body that was like the strike
of q crocodile'S tail.
He was doing it again in the
sixth, after Armstrong belabored
him for a full minute on the ropes.
But in the ensuing exchange Petey
made one mistake. He dropped
his left-and Armstrong dropped
Petey. It was as simple as that.

Sixteen Million Dollars Spent in
 10 Years in Aid

More than l6 million dollars have been spent during the last ten years in protecting the sal mon and halibut nuns on the Pa cific Coast of North America, ac- cording to study recently com- pleted by Dr. E. D. Clark, of the Association of Pacific Fisheries.
 The annual expenditures for the regulation. conservation, prol pagation, and study of the salmon and halibut in Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California waters has aver aged $l,610,0OO, during this per iod, Dr. Clark points out. #
 More than half this expendi- ture, covering the entire North

stringent regulations of the fed eral government have reduced the total employment by restrict ing the amount of fishing. The fishermen, as well as the packers, have made sacrifices to preserve this resource. If, at any time, alien fishermen not subject to the regulation of our government are permitted to fish for these salmon in extra territorial waters, the sacrifices which our fishermen & cannery operators have made will not be sufficient to conserve this resource, and the industry, which is the main support of the seacoast towns of Alaska, will not be able to continue"

American Pacific Coast, has been spent on perpetuating the salmon run in U. s. waters, Dr. Clark says. More than $4,2OO,OOO has been spent in Alaska alone dur ing this period to preserve the run in these ten years. A large part of this money finds it's way to Alaska merchants. Due to the more difficult conservation job in states where the encroachments of civilization have been more severe, the total expenditure in the Pacific States has been some what larger than in Alaska, am- bunting to $4,725, ,OOO during this period.
 The true significance of these figures is seen when it is realized that the salmon fishermen and packers have paid taxes during this period, not only to support the Territorial government, but also to conserve and increase this valued natural resource. The

There is well-to-do gentleman in New York who fills his pockets with dimes every Saturday and sets out to indulge quaint and peculiar hobby
 He goes to some likely street corner and stands and the neerdowells to shufe past AS they pass he shells out his dimes, to each man, dipping deep n to his pocket until the supply is gone.
 He doesn't care what his charges do with their dines-Whether they spend them for Aophouse bed cup of coffee, sandwich shot of Bowery smoke" It's the giving that interests him. and, he says the dimes at least make them happy"
 That is probably true enough When man has nothing at al it doesn't take much to lift his spirits bit; shiny dime in the palm of the hand brings mentary glow, and, since happiness is too plent full in any walk of fe it hard to begrudge this dime gver his unusual hobby.
 But without reflection in the least on the motives of this kind-heared New Yorker, it ought to be marked that the brother-canyou-spare a-dme method of dealing with abect poverty isn't nearly good enough these days. For while you make destitute hap py by handing him dime-or basket of food, work relief order, voucher for ton of coal-he still is as destitute as he was before you met him, once your bounty is exhausted.
 Now great deal of nonsense has been written and spoken about the evils of "he system that punges men into poverty Much of it is the veriest soapbox captrap But when all the hokum has been cleared ay the fact does remain that we live in world which somehow produces poverty we'll riches misery as well as happiness, bleak despair we'll bright hope.
 It is as clear as daylight that ordinary relief whether in the form of private charity government doe-doesnt change matters much It is vtally neces- sary to be but it is only cushion to break mans fal not railing to keep him from falling in the first place.
 If we to make charity really effective, we must find some way of applying it ahead of time We must beat poverty to the punch We must worry about the victim of poverty before he becomes victim of poverty, and find way to keep social system from dumping few million destitute people in our laps every so often
 That is large order We shan't find the answer ov- ernight But make good start by at least real izng that this is what our problem really is. A good beginning to recognize the fact that giving away dim es is no solution at all

HOSPITAL
CENTER URGED
BY ROSTER

Construction Of a new naval
medical center with a view toward
extension for wartime activities
was recommended today to the
House Naval Affairs Committee
by Rear Admiral Perceval s. Ros-
sitter, surgeon.general of the
United States Navy.
Admiral Rossiter appeared In
support of the VinSon bill author
izing the Secretary of the Navy
to construct buildings to replace
the present naval hospital and
naval medical school in Washing
ton at a total cost not to exceed
$4,850, 900. 80
Admiral Rossiter advanced sew
eral objections to the present ma
val hospital site, one Of which
was the lack Of space for expan-
sion in the future.
For Wartime Needs
Rep. Melvin J. Mas (R) Of
Minnesota, declared that expaI1-
sion of service hospitals is very
much overrated." To this, Admiral
replied:
"The center contemplated is
predicted on wartime activities.
The hospital would provide ap-
prOximately 900 beds, which Is
not sufficient during periods Of
emergency, but if we plan to ex-
pand, we could carry a warlOad
Of from 1000 to 1900 beds.
Admiral Rossiter pointed out
that the present hospital is wholly
inadequate" providing only 178
beds.
The committee questioned Ad-
miral RoSsiter very closely con-
corning an authorization made by
Congress in 1881 for SO, zoe, 900 for
the construction of a new hospital
on the present site. Admiral RoS-
sitter told the committee that only
$99, 500 o fthat authorization had
geen spent for the drawing Of
plans. The wasting" Of this money
in view of the fact that the Navy
Department now contemplateS
construction of its center on a new
site drew considerable comment
from the committee.
Several Sites Studied
Admiral RoSsiter told the COM
mittee that -veral sites are being
considered, although no decision
las been made as to the location
of the proposed hospital. Among
the sites brought to the attention
Of the Navy Department are the
Mclean estate on Wisconsin Ave
nue., which the Srgeon-general
said would entail the expenditure
Of too much money, two sites on
Conduit Road, and others in the
vicinity of American University,
and Rock Creek Park on the East
West Highway.
