The elongated Britisher defeated his game, husky opponent in convincing fashion and started once more up the long road which he hopes will bring him eventually to a battle for the championship. Scott had to get up from the canvas after a two second knockdown in the third round, but from then on he administered a severe beating to the awkward, plunging Belgian. The fight was as good or better than those which Tex Rickard has been conducting under the guise of an elimination tournament and fans received their money's worth, which is more than can be said for Rickard's recent customers. o New York. —The future of wrestling in Madison Square Garden is uncertain.

BRITISH BIRTHRATE IS STILL TOO HIGH ■ » Ixmdon. — (U.R) — Great Britain is crowding itself into the sea. Os all the problems which are now engrossing English sociologists, the most important is the question of the rapid over-population of the British Isles. The area of Great Britain is roughly 89,000 square miles, in this space—not twice the size of the state of Pennsylvania—some 41,000,000 people live, or more than one-third as many as are in the whole United states. Despite the fact that the recently published birth-rate statistics for 1927 showed that Great Britain’s number of births for that year was the lowest in Europe, and also the lowest since records were first kept of vital statistics, certain sociologists contend that Great Britai nis, and will for many years continue to be, over-populated. On the other hand, certain prominent social workers declare that the Internationa] prestige of Great Britain is seriously threatened by the condition “into which the social status of the British Isles is sinking.” This statement is only one of the

Statistics published here recently showed that there are 1,500,000 mar ried couples in Great Britain who arc childless. According to the opponents of birth control, more than onehalf of these families are deliberately childless. These opponents of birth control point out that the annual drink bill of Great Britain is 300.000,000 lb. and that the average expenditure pet family for one week on the luxuries of drink, tobacco and racing bets is I !t>. “It is continually drummed in out ears that we have a million persons unemployed in this country, yet it is a fact that the British women of ths working class In 1928 are better dress ed than they were 20 years ag<R” one iroininent opponent of birth control told the United Press.

CONGRESS FACES NEW FARM FIGHT Mid-West Delegation Plans Battle For Aid In Fighting Corn Borer Washington, March 20— (INSy— The mid west congressional delegu|ion was lining up the proposal of Rep. Purnell (R) of Indiana to appropriate another $10,000,000 to fight the European corn borer. Hearings are scheduled to begin next week before the house Agriculture committee, with witnesses from the "Corn Belt” slated to appear on both sides of the question. Denying reports that he would drop the measure in the face of opposition, Purnell declared that he would bring witnesses here to show an overwhelming Sentiment for fund. "Some farmers have got the idea that the fund is to be used to purchase a lot of machinery and other equipment, when the bill is heally intended to pay the farmers for the cleaning up work they must do to combat the borer,” said Purnell. The Corn Borer is just as much of a menace as it ever was a.nd witnesses will be here to show that the far■mqrs want to blot it out." The fight in committee against the bill will be led by Rep. Thompson (R) of Ohio, who also plans to bring in farmers and their spokesmen to declar that the Corn Borer scare was
