DEMPSEY TO TRY COMEBACK San Francisco, June 29. —(U.R) - Jack Dempsey will start light training next week with a view to attempting a comeback if he can get in condition, the former heavyweight champion of the world told the United Press in an interview here. The fighter made two very important provisions to this announcement however. First, he must receive a larger percentage of gate receipts than would be offered any opponent chosen for him, and second, he must be In better condition than when he met Gene Tunney. Dempsey picked Max Schmeling. conqueror of Paolino Uzcudttn as his most likely opponent but refused to make any prediction as to the outcome. "If Schmeling asked as large n guarantee and percentage as I did the contest probably could not be staged.” he said. "As to what might happen in such a fight—why. he might finish me in one round." Schmeling Wins Praise New York. June 29. — (U.R> —Max Schmeling’s future in the prize ring has absorbed the boxing world in a lively discussion of the strong and weak points of the young German heavyweight. While Schmeling has been univers ally praised for his decisive victory over Paolino Uzcudun. hitherto regarded as the strongest and roughest of all heavyweight, not everyone is ready to concede the heavyweight title to Herr Max. Tommy Loughran, light - heavyweight champion, is one of those who finds fault with the present ability of Schmeling. "Schmeling /s a good iprospect,” Tommy said, “but a long way from a heavyweight champion. If brought along properly he may develop into a champion but he can be ruined if he is over-matched. “I see Schmeling now as a good boxer with a cool head, nothing more. The terrific punch I heard he had was nowhere in evidence against Paolino or he would have won by a knockout.” William F. Carey, president of Madison Square Garden, thinks Schmeling looks like a "future champion.” "He satisfied me that he is a great fighter by the way he whipped Paolino, as game a fighter as ever stepped into the ring,” Carey said. “I think most everyone who saw Sthmeling in action agrees with me.' Experience is what Schmeling needs now more than anything else in the opinion of many smart boxing men. "If Schmeling is kept active and not allowed to think he has the heavyweight title won he promises to develop into a great fighter,” said Jack McAulliffe. retired undefeated lightweight champion. "He is no Dempsey and never will be. He has many fine qualities, including a left jai> reminiscent of Gene Tunney, but I still think his black hair is the only thing about him that resembles Dempsey.” o Watching The Scoreboard By United Press Yesterday’s Hero — Pat Malone, whose pitching and hitting helped the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 9 to 5. and gain the National League lead. He hit a home run with two men on base in the second inning when the Cubs scored seven runs. Red Lucas, Pittsburgh jinx, pitched Cincinnati to a 10 to 3 victory over the Pirates which cost the latter the National League lead. He has won hie last ten games from the Pirates. General Crowder allowed the Chicago White Sox but five hits and the St. Louis Browns strengthened their hold on second place with a 7 to 2 victory. A wild throw in the eighth by Shea, Detroit catcher, permitted Sewell to score with the winning run and Cleveland beat the Tigers, 5 to 4. A costly error by Goose Goslin permitted two runs to score and helped the Boston Red Sox beat Washington, 5 to 2.

June 29.—(U.R)—Indiana pavements are being saved from thousands of dollars worth of damage from summer heat by cuts into potential ‘•blow-ups." the highway department made it known today. Leas in ."blow-ups," which are great heaves in concrete road surfaces caused by summer heat, have been considerable each year, the department has found. Study and experiment have revealed that a large portion of these can be prevented by cutting the pavement an inch or so and filling in the gap with a bituminous material. In the hill country of southern Indiana the blow-ups have been especially Lad in pant years. Danger of the rupture is made known by bulges in the surface, and the cutting is done immediately after these become apparent. The practice has been extended over the entire state, with highway crews always on the alert for the danger points. Blow-ups become somewhat frequent when the thermometer registers up around 90 degrees, and the vigil is increased according to the height of the mercury. BOBBY JONES NOW IN LEAD (CONTINUED • MOM 3-4-4. This represented a birdie at the 497-yard twelfth hole, where Bob sank a twelve foot putt for a four. Then he lost a stroke at par at the thirteenth, where his tee shot landed at the edge of a trap. His recovery shot was 40 feet from the cup, but he almost ran down the putt. This four put Jones back on even terms with par, and he stayed there to the finish. o TO UNDERGO OPERATION Indianaplis, June 29—(UP) —A serious operation must be performed upon Dr. E. S. Schumaker superintendent of the Indiana anti saloon league a message received from a sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan where Dr Schumacher is a patient, by league headquarters revealed today. Since coming from Indiana State Fann where he served a 60-day sentence for contempt of court Schumaker has been ill. The serious physical condition of the man had led to the report that unless his health improves soon he may be obliged to leave the service. With this report comes the word that he may be succeeded by Samuel McNaught, now supei intendent of the lowa anti-saloon league. 0 —-—«— Value of Manner* A lot <>f nice people living In the same neighborhood makes the rent higher.

Varieties of Spiders Have Communal Nests Some spiders live In large colonies In close IntlniHcy not only with spiders of different species, but with other insects. In Mexico In regions nt nn altitude of 2,500 yards, spiders are found that live In societies and construct common ne«t* of large dimensions like the nests of nnfs and bees. The nests are In great demand among the natives of the country, who take fragments of them and hang them about their rooms as traps for tiles and mosquitoes. The nests are surrounded with threads that serve as hiding places In which the spiders He in wait for their prey. All the Insects cuught are used as food for the colony. In the nests, which the spiders never leave for any reason or under any circumstances, are plied heaps of files, yet the nests are kept with the utmost cleanliness. The public hygiene of the colony is looked after by a small creature treated with scrupulous respect by all the spiders. This infinitesimal being does for spider communities wiiat the blind white wood louse does for ants. It Is of the family of tlie Latrlcliles; it lives in the common nest with all tlie spiders, nourishing Itself on everything rejected and cast off by them.—Washington Star. Cretans Were Liberal in Decorative Ideas The Cretan decorators did not scruple to depart from a literal interpretation of nature if by so doing they secured desirable decorative effects. If a monkey with a blue head suited their purpose better than a realistic monkey they showed no hesitative in altering it. Tills Is tlie decorator’s privilege, a sort of artistic license that Ims been taken by artists from those nQcient times to tlie present. Do not think that curious drawings and distortions are the product of amateurish hands. Tlie Cretan decorators did not alter tlie apparent forms because they could not draw them correctly, it was done deliberately, to suit their scheme of decoration. Sometimes a naturalistic treatment of flowers and ferns was used. When they liked they could give realistic interpretaiion and at other times conventionalize their subjects. When it suited their purpose they put in colors that nature never used in such places. These Cretan decorators were great craftsmen and artists. Their designs are studied by artists today. Not Guilty A man was charged with kissing a giil against her will, and during tlie proceedings tlie girl went into the box. “You say,” said the counsel for tlie defense, “that my client took you by surprise, ami that you gave lilm no encouragement?” “I do." replied the girl. "Doesn't it strike you ns strange that he should have managed to kiss you as you were unwilling?” added counsel. "Look nt my client, and then consider your own height. Why, sou must be nearly n foot taller than he is.” "Well, what of ft?” retorted the girl. ”1 can stoop, can’t I?" Chasing Woodchuck* Tlie wise farmers, when bothered by woodchucks, resort to one of three methods in thinning them out. They insert either calcium cyanide or carbon disulphide in tlie chuck’s burrow’ and seal it over. The fumes in a short time will penetrate every part of tlie burrow and Mr. Woodchuck is gassed to death. Another method Is that of attaching n hose to the exhaust of a tractor engine or automobile and inserting down into tlie burrow, sealing the entrance and racing tlie engine. Carbon monoxide does the rest. Hunting chucks with firearms is a long drawn out job and has never been satisfactory. Narrow Eacape A small child who much disliked milk pudding had been made to finish It before leaving the table. When she had at last enten it she asked If she might get down. "Yes, when you have said grace,” said her mother. “But I’ve nothing to be thankful for,” answered the child sulkily. “Very well then,” said the mother, “stay where you are.” This was too much for the child, so, putting her two small hands together, she said. In a loud, clear voice, “Thank God I wasn’t sick. Now may I get down?” Net in Hi* Line While doing some historical research recently, an Indianapolis woman stepped into a cigar store seeking Information concerning a tablet In the vicinity, supposed to represent the site of the first school building In Indianapolis. In response to the woman’s question, tlie man behind the counter returned politely, “We don’t keep tablets, lady.’’—lndianapolis News.

SPANS U. sTfWO TIMES IN LESS THAN 37 HOURS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONEV the late Harry Tucker who flew from here to the Pacific coast in 24 hours, 51 seconds. Hawks remained in Los Angeles 7 hours and 14 minutes before starting back. The flier was reticent about speaking of his collision with the galvanized iron fence here although when he first crawled out of the plane he was heard to say: “Not enough ligths on this field." There is only one flood light at Roosevelt Field and it was on when he landed. In addition, two beacon lights were blazing. He was believed to have overshot the field because he was blinded by the flood light, for he, came down to a perfect landing i against a westerly wind. Hawks swung his plane toward the south side of the field to avoid the crowd of 80b persons that dashed toward him. The plane crashed through the fence and the left wing was damaged. Deafened by the monotony of en gine roar,'Hawks at first was unabto to hear questions. Later he explain-! ed he had enjoyed good visibility J and perfect weather until he got over, Pennsylvania where he ran into fog. I He explained he flew high most of' the way and attributed the lack of 1 reports on his progress to that fac’. Mrs. Hawks, the first person to; greet him, said she felt no appren-j sion during the flights but “my heart! was in my mouth when I saw him hit that fence.” Hawks, dressed as though he were out for a game of golf instead of hazardous flights across two mouii-j tain ranges and a desert, wore white flannel trousers and a soft brown coat. The rabbit’s foot, wired to the rear of his plane, brought the expected good luck in the shape of tail winds which shot him eastward at increased speed. After remaining at the field for about 30 minutes, Hawks went to his home on Riverside Drive. TRANS-ATLANTIC FLIERS, MISSING A WEEK, FOUND (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) For although in many quarters complete hope of a rescue had been abandoned, the people in general here were so confident in the ability of Commander Franco and his companions that they felt, somehow, that a rescue would be effected. When the premier received the news of the rescue from the foreign office he was so moved that he broke into tears and could not talk. When he regained his composure he cried out: “Estan Salvados”, meaning, “they are sate.” The premier then returned to his office and rested for a few minutes. Then he went to the chapel inside the war office and heard mass, today being a holy day in Spain. Among the first to arrive at the

star, whose practice rounds were sensational. Below, left to right, are Johnny Goodman, ex-caddy from Omaha, Neb., who worked his way east to play in the open, and the famous Walter Hagen, who has won almost every championship in the last ten years except the open.

war office were Francisco Jimenez and Ignacio Iglesias, the two transAtlantic fliers who recently made a flight to South America. Both received the news of the rescue joyfully. The newspapers soon were out on the streets with extra editions carrying all the news of the rescue they could obtain up to the time- of going to press. Hugs crowds gathered in front of the Aero Club, waiting for further details of the rescue. The Eagle was sent out by the British admiralty several days ago with orders to search the strip of ocean between the coast of Portugal and the islands. It carried 24 plane; aboard. The rescue of the lost aviators was the culmination of the widest search made for missing airmen since the Italia was lost in the Artic circle. Franco and his three companions left Cartagena. Spain, for an attempted flight to the United States via the Azores on Friday, June 21. On their first night out they were heard from when they were leaving
