by use Of abrasive blocks and
water. The smoothing can also be

tened with . small amount of
water after which the abrasion is
carried on by rubbing brick or

Concern Over Peace
by The Associoted Pres,

DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 17,-Orville
Wright, ready to celebrate his 18th
birthday, was more concerned about
world peace tonight than about the
future of the aviation industry he
helped to father.
"The effort for world peace" he
declared in an interview copyrighted
by the Dayton Daily News, has de-
veloped into cat and dog f1ght
through the introduction OF opinions
of delegates on questions OF social
ism and capitalism"
An interview is 4 rare event for
Mr.. Wright, but rs friends prepared
to honor him on his anniversary
Monday, the aviation pioneer tenn
porar1ly abandoned his policy against
speaking for publication.
Elaborating on what he called the
injection Of issues Of socialism and
capitalism into the Paris Peace
Conference, he continued:
There Is no good reason why
these should have been brought into
q matter Of world peace. Yet social
ism and capitalism probably have
had more influence in determining
votes in the conference than any
other one thing" he said.
This fighting over the type Of
government in other countries
should be stopped" he said.

Belloise had won his last Is

to cop last nights tussle and a
2-1 favorite to score a knockout.
Abrams was the skilled boxer
but he was continually the coun-

fensive throughout the bout.
Belloise was the stronger and
landed by far more damaging
blows. At times it seemed Abrams
would not be able to weather the
