BUSINESS IMPEDED BY TOO MUCH TALK, GAS DELEGATES TOLD

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Nov. 11. The greatest drag on readjustment of business just now is too much talking and not enough working, Samuel Insull of Chicago told delegates to the American Gas association here today. Mr. InbuII who started life as stenographer for Thomas A. Edison and today is head of the gas and electric utility companies serving Chicago, ridiculed attempting to "legislate good times." F,e declared that If the hands of the utility industry, aione, were untied and qulbling stopped, new development and new construction work needed by the nation would go far toward ending the unemployment situation. He urged that the nation be encouraged to become a race of savers and Investors, rather than of wasters and spendors and declared that investment makes good citizens. He pointed to the great army of men and women who now own public utility securities, and declared they had already solved the question of public ownership of utilities and constituted real public ownership. Mr. Insull said: "Everyone Is giving advice to his fellows a3 to what courses they should pursue in order to make things come out all right plentiful advice but the advisers are not working with their handa and minds to do the thing themselves. When we try to substitute laws and ordinances and theories for old fashioned business initiative and enterprise, operating in conformity with economc law, that moment we stop going forward and start slipping. But it does not seem that we are wedded or too many of us are to enthusiasm for tellir-g the other flelow how to run his business and for putting obstacles In the way. of his doing things the way experience has taught him they must be done."

THE

Revival of By FREDERICK

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11 Can fencing, and then he bucks up and comes

clng be revived In this country as a popular form of athletics? An effort to create interest la It is now being made by devotees of the sport When looking twice at a pretty woman might mean a challenge to a duel, dexterity with a blade was a matter of life and death to any man of rank. In consequence, every gentleman studied fencing earnestly as a part of his training to grace society. And when hand to hand encounters with Bwords wero still a customary method rt fighting battles, ewordplay was an Important part of a Boldlera training. With theBe uses for skill at handling blades, the art of fencing flourished. Now dueling is against the law everywhere. Even in the Latin coun tries, where an encounter is still occasionally reported, the duelist Is no longer regarded as a dashing and ro mantic hero, he once was. It is even said that it is no heinous crime to refuse a challenge and this means a big change in public opinion, for to refuse to fight once meant ostracism. Modern warfare has almost banished the sword. In the few cavalry charges of modern battles, the rider swings to one side of the saddle with his head close to the horse's neck and ' his sword thrust ahead. . If he misses one man, he rides on to the next. There is no sword play of defense. More often, when a cavalry troop fights, it puts its horses together and attacks afoot with carbines or pistols. Since its practical uses have been abandoned, fencing is neglected in this country especially. Now, the international fencing match between a British team and an American team, which is to take place this month, Is expected to arouse popular interest in this sport. This country has had flares of Interest in fencing since its dueling days In Roosevelt's administration, notably, fencing and horseback riding became the fashionable sports. The President fenced, so did his daughter, Alice, and General Leonard Wood, and so, in consequence, did the diplomatic and official sets of the capital. Chiefly an Army Sport Since then fencing clubs have been maintained chiefly by officers of the army and navy. Fencing always attracts some college students, too. In fact, many of our swordsmen today are college-trained men. But fencing a raws small crowds compared with football and tennis, and this accounts partly for the small number of swords men developed by the colleges. In continental Europe fencing tournaments are backed by public interest. Champion teams go from place to place, as the tennis stars do. to compete in well-attended matches. In spite of the slump in fencing in this country, we did eet toeether enough good swordsmen to make up a i team for the Antwerp Olympic games.! The story goes that when 'this team) won third place against the crack teams of Europe, there was a much .-urprise. j ne caotain or the Belgian learn came to Major F. W. Honeycutt, captain of the Americans, and asked if . .. . ""v .vau a, ailu H! u eouia De true that the AmerWn fencPrs had vontmt. lsh team. Major Honevcutt said that 11 'as truP- "Then, please accept my mnet -nrji,i .,.., . , ......... ,.mti, i-uufii ai uiawuus, saia Tiie tieigian. ou know, you Americans were not supposed to win from anybody." At these games, the British and American fencers became good friends They talked then of a match between the two countries to promote skill in fencing. The match that is to be held is a result of these plans It Is the first one arranged, and there will be others every four years. The international fencing matches are sponsored by an honorary committee composed of President Hardin?. chairman and the secretary of war. chairman, and the ne secretary of the navy, the British f mpassadoi the American ambassador lue at. James, Admiral onus, auu j?nerai i'ersning. An International Prize. Colonel Robert Thompson has given a beautiful bronze trophy representing Achilles with his snear at the fallen Hector's throat. This trophy 13 the work of Gleb Derujinski, the -well known Russian sculptor, now living in New York. It Is to be held during the four years between matches, by the victorious team. To win the international trophy, a team must win the bouts with twn out of the three weapons. This year the foil and dueling sword bouts will be held in Washington, and the saber match in the Astor hotel in New York. Next time, the two teams will meet in England. The American team la to be captained by Major Honeycutt, who led the Olympic team. Major Honeycutt was collegiate foils chamrion an! captain of the West Point team ln 1906. Later, his work as military attache abroad offered no opportunity for fencing. Then the war came on, and Major Honeycutt was at the first battle of the Marne with the French outfit. In 1919 he returned to his college sport, after 13 years, and he won the national foils championship for 1920. We have, in Arthur Lyon, of tha New York Fencers' club, what Is known as a fine "three weapon man," for our team. Mr. Lyons handles well the three weapons of fencing: the foil, dueling sword or rapier and the sabre. His fencing is further interesting, in that he is said to fight 40 per cent above his reputation when he engages in a serious match. As one fencer says: "You expect him to go in and lose, from the way he has been workStop That Itching It's unnecessary and nerve racking Ajply cooling Resinol Ointment and know thecomfort it gives.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

Fencing J. HASKIN out on top." Another of our best fencers is Major Harold Rayner, personal aide to President Harding. t When the trials for the American team were held in New York, practically every good foilsman in the country was on hand to compete for a place. This is regarded as proof that American interest in fencing 13 not dead, and that it needs only some such 6itmulus as the international matches to attract athletes and to interest the public. The arguments In favor of fencing are that it is a fascinating indoor sport which has no equal, as a mean3 of developing fine control of muscles, agility and accurate judgment. With the target arms length away, plus the length of the blade, a fencer must be true in his placement of a thrust if he is to touch his mark much more so than the pugilist who attacks at close range, with a large gloved fist. An inch off the aim of a boxer may be Immaterial. With the sword it means missing the mark entirely. Travelers Notes By Post C. Scribe Post C members who wore U. S.

There are eight good and true Bartels on Post C roster but the Bartelest Bartel of the bunch is Adam H. Bartel, whose charter membership dated March, 27, 1895, remains in force unblemished. While Adam H. is a trifle older than Ben and Fred Bartel, he considers that unavoidable circumstance as no handicap for the full day's work which Is no "grind" to him. Mr. Bartel is a worthy representative of the highest type of business man, glad to lend his influence ln civic affairs and charitable enterprises. He is an ardent T. P.

There can be no doubt that a pure, sweet fat, such as is manufactured by the process of M.
