NEW ANGLE NTW0j0Es
 TIE GO
tBv BOB GRUBBl

NEW YORK, Dec. 13-lR-A new Joe Louis- Jersey Joe Walcott battle was building up to an impasse to- day in the negotiations for return bout between the champion and the challenger.
 Injecting a new note in the con- troversy over the split decision Jer- sey Joe lest to Louis a week ago, this latest development grew out of war of words across Eighth Ave nue.
 Shortly after Louis indicated at a press conference in the Twentieth Century Club that light heavy weight titleholder Gus Lesneyich might be an acceptable opponent for Jce's Hast bout" Walcott charg- ed that he was being given the "brushoff."
 Louis, apparently mindful of earl fer warnings from the Walcott camp that Jersey Joe would be satisfied with nothing less than a 90 per cent cut from a return match, raised the Lesnevich angle.
 Deriding Walcott by claiming that Lesnevich was a more dangerous" puncher, Louis intimated that Gus had at least as good chance as Walcott of getting the title shot. The champion insisted, however, that it was the promoters job and not his to make the matches.
 In his hotel opposite the Twen- tieeh Century offices, Walcott re- torted: Louis has always been a great sportsman and a great cham pion. Now I have my doubts"

$4,000 RR WORKERS
TO GET INSURANCE

Beginning July ! approximately
Is, 900 railroad employees in this
area will be protected by the new
sickness insurance system for rail-
road workers, according to E. T.
Coley, field representative of the
Railroad Retirement Board. He
estimates that $470, 900 in sickness
benefits will be pad out in this
area in the coming oar.
The program was established by
amendments of the Railroad I'm
employment Insurance Act pass
ed by Congress last July. Under
this plan, railroad employees will
become n of the first groups in
the nation to be insured under a
government plan against loss of
wages from temporary disability.
ANY kind of illness or injury will
be covered. regardless Of how Or
where it occurred" Coley said.
The new sickness benefits, like
the benefits now payable for I'M
employment due to lack Of work,
will be financed entirely through
taxes paid by the railroads under
the Railroad Unemployment In
uranc Act. No tax for this pur-
pose will be paid by the employees.
Coley said that the amount OF
benefits an employe may receive
will vary from $1.75 to s. a day
depending upon the amount of his
1916 earnings. The lowest rate
S. .75-is for the employe who earn
ed from $3.50 to $199 and the high
est-$5-is for the man who made
81, 500 or more. The maximum that
any worker can draw in a benefit
year ranges from $227.5O to $650.0 0
That will provide benefits for a
continuous illness of 26 weeks after
the 7-day waiting period.

Wilmington Organization
To Conduct Camp At
White Lake In June
BY ADAM SMITH
W physical Ed Diroofor

Building a Christian democracy
through camping is the central
purpose of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association camping program.
Ever since the late Elliott of Har-
ward expressed his conviction that
a few weeks spent in a well or
gained summer camp might be
of more value ed%ucationally than
"a whole year of formal school
work, leaders in the camping
movement Of America have been
icentering attention upon qualitative
results.
Thoughtful parents are no longer
willing to have their sons and
daughters "spend" the summer in
harmless outdoor activity with
three square meals a day and
mere protection against physical
injury and accident.
For the last 80 years I have been
closely associated with YMCA
camping and I have seen the phil
osophy of camping change from
last guy out gets padded" to
"Why do you suppose he acted
taat way?" Today progressive
leaders in camping look for the
cause back of every unsocial ac-
ton.
Directors of all types of camps
for all ages of boys and girls agree
that the focal point of success or
failure in morale, camp spirit, har-
mony, cooperation, true education
ard character growth is the cabin
leader or cabin counselor. Good
food is important, sanitation,
health and water safety, also. But
gains in attitudes, improvement in
personal habits, enrichment of
friendships and growth of person
atty are usually traceable to the
influence of an able and conse-
Grated counselor.
The Wilmington YMCA camp
opens on June Is, ends June %.
Two weeks of living in the out
doors, with fellows that are plan
to do things together. The
camp is on White Lake and the.
water front is one of the best in
part of the State. There is no
danger of a boy drowning, the
is crystal clear, white sandy
bottom to the lake, and a boy will
have to walk out three-fourths of
4 mile to get water over his head.
The water from shore is three and
half feet deep, enough depth to
have loads of fun; and boats and
canoes to enjoy trips along the
edge of the Lake, and in the boat
ing area.
(There will be more of these
articles on YMCA camping.)

ear. A few seconds later he was at
the piano playing 1.-THE Merry
Widow Waltz" The lady with the
twinkle couldn't stand it. She
grabbed the chairman of the enter
tainment committee and danced.
But the little session didn't end
there. AS the natives were putting
on their coats a trim little lady was
sitting very straight on the piano
bench. She was playing Maple
Leaf Rag"
Before the gaiety started, the So
ciety passed two resolutions. One
favored the Federal Government
and District government paying
equal shares to meet District gov

Washington's Society of Natives
turned gay last night.
Maybe it was Smiling Jack"

vest and bamboo cane, or Robert T.
Hoy's slide picture of Rennie War
rick's Bar before prohibition" when
the bar sides were still equipped
with towels every few feet for the
elaborately dressed patrons to wipe
their moustaches, that threw the
society members in merry mood.
They groaned with envy when Mr..
Hoy recalled how the old bar, To-
Gated "in the good old days" on
Thirteenth street between Pennsyl-
vania avenue and E street NV,
served free lunches each day with
all the trimmings. They even had
roast pigs right on the bar, and
walters brought huge trays loaded
high with food, all gratis, he told
the signing citizens.
Mr., Hoy's slides, were old views
of Washington. While he showed
the pictures, John Clagett Proctor,
president of the Association OF
Oldest Inhabitants and historical
writer for The Star, reminisced over
the scenes. An old hotel that stood
at Ninth and E streets S.E.-one of
Washington's f1rst-appeared on the
screen.
"In 1893 they used to have swell
prnNfnr
Then he laughed. But how should
I know"
The Tunnecliff Tavern, which the
old stage coaches from Georgetown
used as terminus about 1870, was
among Mr.. Hoy's earliest scenes.
The girl Marinettes marching down
Pennsylvania avenue in 1919 after
the end of World War I was the
most modern picture shown.
After the natives had let them
selves be carried back to the old
days, Mr.. O'Connell, Washing
ton and New York master of cere-
monies dashed into the meeting
dressed in 18th century attire. In
no time at all the citizens closed
the doors to the Mayflower's North
Room and burst into strains of ''The
Bowery." c. r. Dooling, society
member, was at the piano. After
the Ball" came next; then School
Days.
They sang-everything from the
Sidewalks of New York" to Till
We Meet Again." with laughter and
swaying and the beating of feet. No
one argued when the man i'll the
top hat and long black moustache
said he thought THE Strawberry
Blond" was too modern a number
for the group to know, but they
sang anyway.
After the program officially ended
and the citizens had given Mr..
O'Connell a rising vote of thanks.

twinkle whispered in the emcee's
