Geuc Tuniiey, retired world
champion, dined and praised by
literary celebrities and respect
able British. nobility, says, "I
dont know why you make such
a fuss over me. What is box
ingf The ability to co-ordinate
mind and muscle at a critical
moment. That is all."
That will send his ex-manager,-
Mr. Gibson, to the diction
ary. Boxing today is nothing ; 12,
000 years-ago co-ordination of
mind and muscle meant the dif
ference between life and death.
Now what counts is cor-ordi-nation
. between mind and the
mechanism! of an "automatic"
or an airplane.
: Gcrmanis blood pressure pos
sesses lasting energy. Von llin
denburg, president of the Ger
man republic, past 80, goes
hunting chamois, in the high
mountains. It is dangerous,
difficult sport, even for young
men, chasing those small goats.
President Hainich, of Austria,
is running for a third term. He
is seventy years old, and his

for him.

term, but she, president of the

,At his duty to keep on working.
A fine young American, Ethel
Ilcrtlc, won Mr. Wriglcys ten
mile swim for women and his
$10,000, defeating 53 other wo
moil, including the channel mar
vel, Gertrude Ederle, in 5 hours
34 minutes and 36 seconds.
A fine achievement, BUT
those swimming young women
are not using their energy as
Providence and Nature want it
used.
Government agents announce
that A. Lawrence Lowell, the
president of Harvard Univer
sity, was swindled out of $70.

"Other distinguished and in

If lying letters and prospect
uses can get $70,000 from the
president of Harvard, what
chance has a poor widow seek
ing to increase her small in
heritance J
M
No woman should buy land
unless she has seen it and hus
the approving opinions of three
business men not interested in

Miss Ethel Hertlc should
stop long distance swimming,
find a worthy young man of
the right type, thin body, a big
head, good brain, kind heart,
earnest, ambitious, md sincere.
Then Ethel Hertlc should mar

To the question, "wealth or man."

Forest Fire Situation Up
state Held Serious and
Green Timber in Paths of
Flames Lower Humidity
Makes Hazards Highest
of Season.
(By the Associated Press)
On mauy sectors ot western
Oregon today crews ot begrimed,
weary fire fighters labored inces
santly in their battles with forest
flames, it was difficult to deter
mine what success attended their
efforas. In many places the fires
were burning in almost inaccess
ablo mountain reaches where com
munication is difficult and unre
liable. In other cases communica
tion lines had been destroyed by
fire.
The most serious situation was
said to exist in Ijane county where
six fires were burning on govern
ment and lumber company hold
ings. It was believed that nearly
3000 acres had been burned over in
that county, although the loss in
merchantable timber was thought
to be negligible. .Most-of the fires
there were in burned-over land and
In old slashings. V
"While the loss to green timber
was not rent, the potential danger
and constant threat to great
sources of timber made the situa
tion serious.
From Wendling, Lane county,
come reports that a fire in the
Hooth-Kelly Lumber comimny tim
ber holdings was still beyond con
trol. The flumes had flourished
despite incessant attack by largo
crews of fire fighters. Today the
fire had been burning for four days.
Only meager reports of this fire
were obtainable.
More than 2000 acres of old
slashings had been burned over in
the Triangle Lake area (Lane
county) by a largo fire that had
been racing since August 20. It
was thought safely under control
today. This blaze was only half
mile from the Kelson Creek moun
tain fire ' of incendiary origin,
which started Tuesday.
Near Shannon, Lake county, more
than GO acres had been burned over
by a fire started unday by a hunt
ing party. Fire fighters had suc
ceeded in keeping the flames from
green timber.
I a minion leei 01 logs mm uiucii
lodging equipment louay siouu in
the path of a flying forest fire on
Anderson & Middleton holdings, 14
miles east of Cottage drove. It
was regarded as the most serious
fire in that section lirnuiny years, i
The firo yesterday ndvanced three
miles on a wide front and had
oaten into a rich stand .of green
timber, ljtst night it was hoped
that within 21 hours tho danger
would have been averted. A laree
crow of men woro battling the
flames.
Several slashing fires in the vi
cinity of Kosoburg In Douglas
county were reported to have
jumped their barriers, causing dam
age of a minor nature. Another
lire was reiorted in the Elkton
district. Douglas county fire pro
tection crews were warned yester
day to watch for fresh outbreaks.
Tho warning come with lowered
humidity coupled with, warmer
weather.
From Hood River came word that
a serious forest fire was enting its
way into green, merchantable tim
ber on Burdoln mountain, north
west of White Salmon, Wash.
What loss had already resulted,
and what was to be expected, was
not indicated In meager dispatches.
It was said, however, that the fire
hazard In the mid-Columbia district
was greater than at any times of
the year. The Oregon Lumber com
pany In that section has suspended
operations during the heat of the
day because of the flro hazard.
EUGKNE, Ore., Sept. 1. (VP)
A fire ravaging from 1500 to 200V
acres on the Anderson & Middleton
Lumber company holdings 15 miles
east of Cottage Grove nnd three
miles southwest of Culp Creek was
running south and east from old
cuttings Into green timber today
and was still beyond control.
In the Trlanglo Lake areas and
McKcnzic Valley fires were still
burning with little hope felt that
they would be put out until the
rains come.
GRASS FIRE RAGES
PHOENIX SECTOR.
Fire covering 10 or 12 acres. In
cluding Graveyard hill, fouth of
Phoenix, was nig lug this afternoon
with most of the residents of the
vicinity out fighting, to, check It
before the flamen reached the Joe
llader place.
The fire in believed to have start
ed from cigarette thrown down
along the railroad track, according
to reports which reached here at
3:30.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 1. (H)
j Although denying reports that
j more than 50 of tho 1000 sacks of
liquor seized from the Peschawa,
j a confiscated rum runner, are miss
! lng, customs officials today admit
ted that several of the sacks con
tain less than the regulation 12
bottles. This, they declared, was
due to breakage, owing to the liq
uor having been handled several
times.
Recurrent reports have been
heard that some of the' Pescahwa's
cargo is missing.
In the absence of E. X. Croisan,
collector of customs, Portland dis
trict, who was In Salem today, L. A.
Pike, assistant collectoir, declared
that he knew nothing of the re
ported "shortage, but was of the be
lief that when the liquor Is turned
over to the marshal for destruc
tion next Tuesday morning that,
with the exception of a few bot
tles broken in handling, it will, all
be accounted for.
The Women's Christian Temper
ance Union has Insisted on count
ing tho liquor, bottle for bottlo.
There were 1000 sacks of the wills
key taken from the Pescahwa when
the rum runner was seized. On tho
Ijasis of 12 bottles per sack, it Tvas
pointed out that there should bo
12,000 bottles to be accounted: for
when the liquor is destroyed.
Reports of bottles emptied nnd
refilled with water, of sacks con
taining but a few bottles instead
of a dozen, nnd ot labels having
been tampered with have recurred
frequently during the past few
months.
