Os tliis he has retained only u little more than SIOO,IOO, according to his manager, Leonard Sacks. "Dempsey is i big spender an I retains only about $2 out of every $5 that he earns" said Sacks Tonight Dempsey meets Meyer tK.O.> Chri-stener of Akron. ().. in a 4-round bout at the Cleveland auditorium and Promoter .Joe Lew is expects a capacity crowd of 11. 225 and receipts of about $30,500. It will be the first time in about five years a boxing bout lias sold out in Cleveland, except for the Cleveland News Christmas charity fund show i f 11'20. Dempsey has been guaranteed i $15.000. the biggest purse any boxer, outside of Schmeiing ami Strib-i Hug for their heavyweight title | bout last July, has received in Cleveland in about 15 years. “People who never saw a boxing [ match before are coming to see; Jack Dempsey." promoter Lewis said. "Dempsey is undoubtedly doing more to keep the boxing game, alive than everyone else put to-: getli.r. And Dempsey Is the easiest man in the boxing game to I deal with. His manager. Leonard Sacks, signed a blank contract and told me to fill in whit I thought Dempsey ought to receive on the I basis of his drawing power." Sacks, who lias been connected with Dempsey’ for about 13 years, says that Dempsey is more popular in 11122 than he ever was as j < Lampion. “The public makes a bigger de- ’ maud on Dempsey’s time now than when he held the title." slid Sacks. "His telephone calls average about 150 daily, and it takes two in n i lone to attend them. He receive.! about 200 pieces of mail and telegraphs daily. Hi.- telephone bill lor local and long distance c ills lor less than a week in Chicago was SSSO."

I LOWER RENTS IN SIGHT FOR ’ BRITISH POOR Ij House of Commons To Hear Additional Rent Control Plans By Harry Flory. I P Staff Corre-pomb nt London. Feb. -(U.R) Thons | -lands of poor families will pay less! 'lent for their restricted living! , iquarters. If the national government keeps its promise to Introduce 'additional rent restriction leglsla tion soon. Six and a quarter million houses : in England and Wales already are' under rent restrictions. The con ■ x trolled houses include many occu--1 ‘ |ded by middle class families. Although the government has I given no definite indication of its' new scheme. Prime Minister Mac i Donald lid intimate to the House i : Commons th,t the government ' believed that the commission which : 1 considered the question last year J Lad the right idea. Commission's Report If the commission's report forms i the basis of the legisation. rents of jail London houses, of a rateable lvalue of $65, or under, will be restricted to 50 per .cent of the preiwai relit. Houses of a rateable j value of $42 and under elsewhere in England and Wales and of a rateable value of S6B and under in Scotland will be controlled similarly. Rateable -value is the yearly in- | come value on which municipal taxjution is based. it usually equals about one-half of the rental. Under the present regulations the controlled house landlord, in addition to not being aide to increase | the rent more than 5’J per cent above pre-war rates, cannot dispossess his tenant without a court ‘order, or unless lie finds other j premises acceptable to the tenant, j The tenant has the right to sublet rooms without the landlord's permission. This has led to abuses, j tlie tenant in many cases making ■ several hundred per cent profit by, subletting rooms. Present Regulations : Under the present regulations 'whenever a tenant voluntarily j moves the house automatically is decontrolled. The landlord there after can charge as much rent as possible. It is expected that the new legislation will provide that all these 'cheaper houses shall be controlled land a change of tenancy will not (result in a rent increase. It is expected that the slightly ■ more expensive houses, with rateable value between $Cn and $135 in London. $lO and $lO5 elsewhere in England and Wales, and S7B and $135 in Scotland, will continue to Ibe controlled. In that case when 'one of tile tenants terminates his I occupancy the house will become [decontrolled automatically and the landlord can increase the rent. A certain number of still more j expensive houses are also controil|ed at present and the’rent limited to 5o per cent above the pre-war rent. I ; o JAPAN PLANES BOMB STATION OF U. S.

Women and children cowered inside their homes, shaken by the concussion. The Wing On mill was No. 3, at 55 Markham road. The bomb crashed through the roof. It exploded on the top floor of the two story modern structure. It demolished a row’ of reeling machines. The damage was estimated at 20,(MIO taels, (about $6,600.)

The riddle that has perplexed fight fans ns to < whether the old Manassa Mauler is serious about his com n back is about to be answered at last. Ring experts have long been shaking their heads as news of Jack Dempsey’s barnstorming bouts, with an imposing string of knockouts, made the rounds of fandom.

It made an awful noise. Tile screaming of tlie women was terrible." Tlie mill is about 200 yards from the Markham road railway station in tlie Chinese native city, across! Soochow creek in Chapel. The, Japanese air attack had sought to blast the Chinese troop concentration out of tlie station there. Marines estimated that 30 bombs were dropped in tlie native area before the bombing of tlie cotton mill. Damage in the ShangI hai-Nanking railway yards over : lhe Ivntndary was tremendous. o PLAN MEASURES TO All) BANKS CONTINUED FRCV FAGF ONE’ to get back to work through its two billion dollar Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

It was advanced publicly yesterday after a morning of conferences "i’h senate and house leaders at the White House. Chairman Steagall of the j house banking and currency com-:, mittee, said Hie bill would lie in- | troduced in the house this morning. , In substance, according to high ■ administration authorities, its effect would be to broaden tlie scope 1 of securities which banks could re- I discount witli tlie Federil Reserve I system. That would, the administration holds, permit bankers to I broaden similarly the scope of se-j curities they could accept from borrowers.
