OLD KING DEFENDS
U. S. BOXING RULES
By Henry P. Parrell
(United Press Correspondent)
New York, Jan. 11.Rube Welch
raises up in London to remark about
the "trick boxing rules" in New
York
The section of the law requiring
the boxers to weigh in eight hours
before the bout is the hitch, se says.
Welch, who has succeeded Charles
rwhrane a* a jRght promoter in
the English capital, claimed that be
cause of the observance of the "eight
hour" weighing, the bantamweight
title was not at stake when Joe
Lynch whipped Pete Herman.
"Lynch," he said, "probably went
iinto tha ring seven or eight pounds
over the class weight."
Had that been the case, Lynch
would have picked up ten pounds, as
he was two pounds under the required
weight of 118 pounds.
Jack McAuliffe, the old light
weieht king, got a laught out of
Wp'fh' contention.
'^Picking up ten pounds in eight
hours is out of reason," he said.
"It might be done if a special ef
fort would be made but it would
hurt an athlete and slow him up ter
ribly It is just a natural process
Just before a big race would a train
er allow a thoroughbred to eat a
bundle of hay and drinlfa lot of wa

"Take Lynch for instance, or Ben
ny Leonard, or any of the boys who
have to work hard to make the
weight They have to resrulate their
food and train on a non-flesh produc
ing diet The stomach produces a
heaw feeliner. flow up the boxer,
makes the brain less alert and re
duces coordination.
"Lynch never could have put on
ten pounds and fought like he did
against Herman. The spirit of the
New York law-maker3 was to avoid
forcing boxers to come into the ring
weakened by making the weight.
Eight hours after getting on the
scales makes it possible for them to
relnx and recuperate. There is less

is the main idea after all.

PRAGUE IS ENVIED
BY CENTRAL EUROPE
By Hoyd Allen
(United Press Correspondent)
Prague. (By Mail).Beautirul
Prajvua ia the envy of all Central Eu
rope.
Thif is becaube of the strong eco
nomic position of Czechoslovakia as
comparod to the remainder of this
part of the world.
The Czechs have great factories:
a highly educated population a very
efficient government and great na
tional wealth in the form or mines,
fore ts, and agriculture.
Their sugar crop, for example, will
total 250,000 tons this year and there
is a sorious sugar shortage over most
of fie European continent.
Wherefore the starving towns of
Vienna, Warsaw and Budapest think
Prague is a lucky town.
Although the fact that the Czechs
are better off than the rest of their
neighbors, everything is not exactly
as it should be. There are plenty of
things to worry about from the point
of view or Prague.
For example, the country must
maintain a big army, at huge expense,
'to cuib any sudden warlike move
on the part of Hungary and also
guard the valuable Teschen coal bas
in from Polish aggression.
Furthermore there is a very
troublesome job hero- keeping the 3,-
000,000 hundred per cent German*
from making trouble. The Germans
bitterly resent -Czech rule^a view
point the Czechs don't worry about
in the least, remembering the hun
dreds of years the Czechs were op
pressed by German-Austrian rule.
President Masaryk. who happens
to be the Geoi'ge Washington of this
sturdy country, lives in a huge pal
ace dominating Prague, using only
a few of the 800 rooms while other
portions of the gigantic buildings
have been assigned workers families
because of the housing shortage.
While thrfoOd supplies of Checho
slovakia are almost adequate for the
support of the country, poor distri
bution causes much suffering, mainly
In Solvakii and Ruthenia.
And there is not enough food in
Bohemia. 'Moravia and Silesia,
where 100,000 tons of fats and \80.-
000 tons of other foods will have to
be bought outside the ctmntry this
year.
Three years -ago tL Lard working
little country was part of the great
Aua^ro-Hungarfkn Monarchy, while
German proprietors owned almost
one third of all the cultivated land
and acted.'as h*hchnfen of the Haps
.bnrgs. ,pnj ofthe |rt things the
newly created CteCh government did
,was to pas* legislation that broke up
Mrocfls
k'ji&M
tlhese estates comprising 17,000
Ejquare mileB.
The Czechs are depending on Am
erica for great supplies of cotton.
There is also great need of hides and
i wool.
Everywhere in the country there
Is a lack of sympathy for the plight
qf Vienna, because the people can
rot forget the centuries when Vienna
fattened and grew rich at the ex
pense of the Czechs, as well as the
6ther smaller nationalities of that
once great Austrian empire How
ever, the hatred against Vienna is
cooling somewhat. Dr. Benes, the
-8xecho-Slovak foreign minister, has
recommended renewing neighborly
relations with Vienna in the not dis
tant future. Queer Old Canadian Law.
"The Halifax Gibbert Law," a
grange old local law,, was enacted at
Halifax, Yorkshire, at an early period
by the woolen manufacture in that
Sflty, for the, protection of the manu
facturers against the thievish propen
sities of persons who stole ^he cloth
when stretched all night on racks or
wooden frames, called tenters, to dry.
The Gibbert law provided that all per
sons within a certain circuit, who had
stolen property of or above ttaa value
Of 13 l-2d., were to be tried by the
firth-burghers within the liberty, and
if found guilty, fhey were handed over
to the magistrates for punishment, and
weie executed on the first market day
following by means of an instrument
similar to the guillotine. The law was
relinquished in 1650.
It's an Old Chinese Way.
There are wome doctors who never
tale sick patients. Their work is to
aid the well to keep well. They call
themselves "Preventlsts," and have
set up as practitioners in preventive
medicine.

DEVIL
PROFESSOR IS SHOT
BY HYPNOTIZED GIRL
By Carl D. Groat.
(United Press Correspondent)
Berlin. (By Mail).The danger
that amateur hypnotists will further
impair public morals i3 seen by the
Vienna ^feddcal weekly, in a discus
scion of the* recent attack on Prof.
Wagner-Juaregg, Vienna, by a hyp
notized girl.
Jauregg bad asserted that crime
could not be induced by hypnosis
whereupon an amateur hypnotist sug
gested to a seventeen-year old girl the
asrassination of the professor and
provided her with a pistol loaded
with paper bullets. She made the at
tack. The medical journal, however,
contends that Juaregg*s theory was
not entirely disproved since the hyp
notist induced the attack under false
premises and suggested to his sub
ject that the whole affair was harm
lessas it was. Hence it was not a
crime.
But, the paper contends that the
amateur hypnotists can perhaps
spread a suggestion among the public
for disruption of the whole process
of criminal justice. If sqch a process
were undertaken, then there would
be no need for "compulsory hypnosis"
as in the Jauregg case, in order to
establish a plea for light punishment,
since the public would not require
punishment. Incidentally, the paper
sayi there have been cases in the
past of "compulsory (or intentional)
drunkenness," undertaken as a basis
for a plea to escape justice
The Jauregg case has* aroused the
Interest of psychologists and hypnot
ists thruout central Europe. Since
the attack, the girl has been the sub
ject of experiments which revealed
the process to which she was sub
mitted in the course of the amateur's
efforts to disprove the expert's theory.
Under hypnosis, she revealed that the
CHIROPRACTIC
Consists Entirely of Relieving Pressure on the
Nerves at the Point Where They Leave tjie Soine
DO CHIROPRACTORS BELIEVE IN GERMS?
germs exist is certain knowledge, but that they are the cause of disease is quite
a different statement.
The three distinct theories of disease, viz.: Chiropractic, germ and bio-chemjc
are mutually exclusive. They may all be wrong, but'the^y cannot all be right.
The germ theory waB promulgated by a German, Dr. Koch, in 1882, and is by
no means generally accepted by medical men or scientists. In fact, some of its strong-
est opponents are medical men who marshal the most incontrovertible facts with un-
assailable logic, while'the great general public have for centuries lived, laughed, and
loved in perfect ignorance and disregard of theory.
It is the dictum of science that we live in a sea of life and that in every drop of
water, in every breath of air and every bite of food there are myriads of germs.
If germs cause disease, it follows that the introduction of germs into the living
organism would produce disease in every case.
instances that prove this untrue are so legion that the germ theorists have
been compelled to explain that the germs are impotent UNLESS THE POWER
OF RESISTANCE OF THE PATIENT IS SUBNORMAL. For instance, some people
cannot be successfully vaccinated while others are so successfully vaccinated that
they die. "Germ Theorists" explain the susceptibility of the patient is the measure of
his power of resistance.
Power of resistance may be measured in terms of life current or vitality. The
stronger the life current the greater the resistance and vice versa, the weaker the life
current the weaker the resistance. So we may conclude that where 100 per cent of life
current, or vitality, exists the susceptibility is zero, and where 50 per cent qxists the re-
sistance is small and the susceptibility correspondingly great.
It requires but little reasoning from these facts to conclude that those who
contract typhoid, for instance, owe their susceptibility to a lack Of vital force in the
bowels, and those who contract tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc., to a lack of resistance
in the lung tissue, and so on through the entire list of germ diseases.
HIROHtAdTiC goes several links farther back in theNshain of cause and effect Whilei the gertn
theoriste stop at the susceptibility of the patient, the Chiropractor says that susceptibility Is the
result of Utfk of vital power, or mental impulses, due to pressure on a nerve caused by a mis-
aligned vertebra and that when the vertebra is adjusted the normal power will again.flow over the
nerve, the affected parts will again become normal and the disease germs and every other incidental
effect will disappear.
No clearer demonstration tof the relative merits of antipodal theories could be given than that
furnished by the statistics of the recent "flu" epidemic in Iowa, where the death rate was as, follows:
Medically Treated, One Death Out of Every 16 Cases
Chiropractically Adjusted, One Death Outof Ev*ry886 Cases
These figures are at once a death blow to the germ theory and a wonderful recommendation
for Chiropractic.

Jauregg had killed her sweetheart
that she ought to take revenge and
that if she would do it, she could have
a theatrical engagement. She had
replied she disliked to kill Jauregg
and was afraid of -a* pistol, but later

her it was harmless..

How to Recognize Real Mahogany,
You buy a "mahogany" table, pay a
good price for It, and then^. begin to
wonder whether It is made of real
mahogany. Red gum can be made to
look so much like mahogany and Cir
cassian walnut that It is often sold
for one or the other of these Woods.
How can you tell the difference be
tween the false and the true? By
looking at the cross-grain, says Popu
lar Science Monthly. If you can see
the pores with the naked eye, then
you will know that all Is well. If you
can't see the pores without the aid of
magnifying-glass, then^you will know
""that you are In tha presence of red

The jew sharp is not a harp, and it

reason for t|ie name is not known.
Some authorities believe that it was
originally called a Jaw'sharp because
it was played with the jaw. Others
say it was fiist called the Jew's
Trumne, the name coming"from the
French Mord "jeu"a "jeu-*romp6"
or joy trumpet. Other peoples called
It a niouth-drnra or & humming-iron
while the Italians designated as

to be of very ancient origin, for the
Chinese books of the twelfth century
show the jewsharp as almost identical
with the European form.
