(AP) Tribute to the sportsman ship and prowess of Jack Demp sey was the, first thought of his conqueror. Gene Tunney, new heavyweight champion. "Dempsey is a sportsman and a clean fighter all the way," Tuu- ney said. "He fought me fairly throughout. There was no suspi cion of a foul blow, and don't let anyone, tell you that he can't hit. His blows were terrific. "I was not hurt because I was in perfect condition. I am sure that I hurt him. "I have realized my life's ambi tion and as the champion, I will carry myself in a manner gratify ing to my friends and becoming a marine artd champion." Tunney said he. wished to give credit. where it was due in his de velopment as the champion the United States marine. "I was never in doubt." the new champion declared, "but after the first and second rounds I knew it was all over but the shouting of ray friends." The only " mark apparent on Tunney was a bruised lip, which was cut in training. He said he M-as fresh at the finish. Asked if he thought he could have knocked out Dempsey, Tun ney answered "perhaps," anQ then asked "why?" Ix)u Fink, trainer of Tunney in other bouts, said that in his opin ion, the slippery condition of the ring in the late rounds, due to the rain, had saved the champion from a knockout.

A committee report concerning acceptance of American reserva tions to "membership in the world court' today was accepted by a delegate "conference after which that! body adjourned. As a result of the adoption of the report the-United States, will b Invited '. to participate In 4he drawing up of a special protocol which will translate the five American reservations into the language of .the court and the cov enant of the league of nations.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 23. (AP) .American entry into the world court will have to be recon sidered by the senate in the judg ment .of a number of informed of ficials in the capitol if the mem ber powers adopt the recommen dations submitted to them by the Geneva advisory conference of the American reservations. In the absence of official ad vices fronv Geneva any authorized expression of views was lacking but an undercurrent of feeling was discernable that the whole question of American participa-1 tion in the work of the court had been greatly complicated. Initiative now rests with the powers participating in the Gen eva discussion as the report of the conference, as adopted today, is merely of an advisory char acter. It recommends to the pow ers a formula of reply to the in quiry of the Washington govern ment as to whether Amercian sig nature of the world court protocol on the basis of the reservation attached by the senate would be satisfactory. The powers ' are not committed to accept the advice of the Geneva delegates. ' Each being free- to formulate whatever reply to Washington it deems best and the next move expected is the decision t of the individual powers on the j nature of these replies. Should the powers accept the advice of the Geneva gathering and transmit identic replies hold ing that American signature of a supplemental protocol, as well as of the original protocol, was VW J-.-A'-.A..-.-.. 6 , J all Paper For interior decoration wall paper has no equal. .

However, there apparently was no doubt in any quarter that the supplemental protocol, if submit ted to the senate, would mark a renewal of the whole argument as to American entry into the court and defer indefinitely, if not pre vent completely, American adher ence to that judicial body. London Cafe Waitresses Must Wear Tresses Long LONDON. Cafes must be as careful- about the appearance of their waitresses as modistes are about., their mannequins, and as many girls cannot possibly look smart with an Eton crop, the manager of a great London cater ing concern has decreed that the women in his employ must not liavc their hair cropped. "Some girls look all right with their hair. cropped, but ethers are a fright," declared the manager. "Consequently we have decided to make the universal rule that the Eton crop is not to appear in our staffs. There is nothing in the world uglier than a girl with bad oars and a bad-shaped head when she ha3 her hair cropped. The ap rearance of waitresses is such a vital thing in the cafe business that we have to bo very careful about how our staffs dress and deport themselves." Bank Vault Warehouse For Valuable MintCrop KELSO, Wash. (AP) A crop so valuable it was stored in a bank vault was grown this year on the farm of Alexander brothers near Woodland, in southwestern Washington. They planted GO acres to pep permint, a single acre producing from 40 to 15 pounds of oil. Th? oil was sold at $10 a pound, bring ing the value of a five gallon can to $400. It was reported here yesterday that Jolm L. Rand, associate jus tice of the state supreme court, is not eligible for appointment as federal judge to succeed the late Charles E. Wolverton of Portland, because of his age. The law pro vides that no attorney over 60 years of age shall be appointed to a federal judgeship. This provision of the law also would eliminate all other mem- bers of the state supreme court with the exception of Justice Belt. Lawrence T. Harris of Eugene and W.
