ETJGEXS, Ore., Sept. 5.
(En route Victoria, B. C, on
Bogeys $ excursion.)
Everything is relative. If one
bad expected to tee real boat
between Jack Dempsey and Jim
Byrnes, the go here last night
would have been set down as
a walk-away for the former.
But as no one expected that,
but ; expected the Manassa
Mauler to lay out the beefy
behemoth from llarshfield in
one or two rounds, everyone is
talking about what a scrapper
this Byrnes boy is and how
close Jack came to having bis
million dollar comeback rudely
terminated. It's all in the point
of view.
Brother Byrnes stayed the
four rounds, not only stayed,
but in the final canto appeared
to give about as good as he
received. "Appeared to" should
be underlined. For as a mat"

the' two gladiators after the
match,; demonstrated that ap
pearances are deceiving. We

face red and puffy, and one

moment. The last time we saw
Dempsey was In Phoenix, Arizona,
when he refereed a Legion bout, and
the last time before that when he

he did at Phoenix, and at least 30
per cent better than he did la Stew
Tork. In fact to the present flstio
authority, he never LOOKSD better
than he did here at McArthur Court
last night. In short he looked like
a million dollars. Lean as a panther,
bronzed ae an Indian, straight as an

After the bout last night a couple
of Sugene policemen came Into the
hotel lobby packing a couple of larz6
black bags cash from tie show
they went up to Herb Owens room,
and Jack Dempsey Joined them. All
came out with smiles on their faces.
According to reports Dempsey received
teooo cash money over a thousand
dollars a round. This morning he

We have always heard Dompsey
ha a keen sense of humor. If so
he doesn't let It work in the ring.
Otherwise uv the two bouts foUow
lng his "draw" with Byrnes he would
have laughed himself to death. Jack
wanted to take Byrne on for an
extra round but the Coos Bay pride,
very wisely vetoed the suggestion.
So Jack Baxter of Eureka, 185, and
Henry Olanz, 100. of Portland, came
to the slaughter. The former was
sent spinning, a little wine rea

the latter did his own spinning.
Henry looked like a stuffed sweet-

knew Just aa much about boxing as

while Jack weaved about, in and out

Dowdy-Overworked
(New York Herald-Xrlbune)
For a word that ha been done to

word "colorful."
The objection that it can be found

Many honest and vigorous word
coined In the last decade, still await.

parvenu, most of them urban slang.
The dowdy and synthetic -color
ful" will go la with these rough-and-ready
newcomers: no doubt. Al
ready It appears la the New Cen
tury Dictionary, which "alms at de.
fining all word la ordinary use."
We predict, however, that It fat
lie with the - topical word nd
phrase that come to be used with
a disavowing smile.
Just as "the Mauve Decade- ana

we prophesy recklessly that "the
Colorful Decade" wUl some day char-
acterlze, with tongue in cheek, the
1020 s that wore this bastard adjec

Another designation which might
be given the period 1920-'S0 from
a word equally abused In It time
1 the word "eophlatlcated." But to
an oncoming generation which will
see the 1030's la good perspective,
wlU. this boasted sophistication seem
to have beea real, or merely a
sophomorle assumption of worldly
wisdom.
No. "colorful" tags the 19S0's more
effectively. It la a feeble synonym
for "picturesque" or "romantic "

MOBILIZING FOB THE BOLE.
Mr. Kelly dispatches from Wash
ington make It clear that force are
being mobilized to make a drive oa
eoagress tor the dole. The country
will have to face the Issue. That Ger
many has the dole nd is in extremis
economically points no lesson to our
own .advocates of it. That England's
very government totters under the
unbearable lead that has been laid
upon it through the dole teaches
American agitators nothing. It 1 a
prospect both amazing and dismay
Ing. There caa be no majority la con
gress ot members who. regarding its
tragic failure abroad believe In the
dele aa sound. But senators and con
gressmen will be swayed by clamor.
They will be looking to votes at fu
ture elections. Advocates of the dole
will use it as trading stock tor other
legislation. If a majority ter the dole
is mustered It will be because of such
consideration at these.
Advocates of it and agitators for it
are organizing. Mr. Kelly says the
"progressives" are tor It. But there Is
nothing progressive about the dole,
la the lands where they have It It
hat proved a measure of retrogression
and further a measure of ruin to pub
lie finance and to the spirit and mor
ale of these who seeept It and live by
It. There is talk of starting It here

safety and a
ready market

TELLING IKS WORLD
Rogue rlvr. Oregoa. Is finding it.
self. Is Its pear that great valley,
alosg with Eood River, ha one oi
the premier fruits of the world. But
the sales aide of the Industry he
sever bees adequately pushed. Proof
of this Is the fact that nearly all of
the product Is rharketed outside of
Oregon.
Thus, it's California or Arizona or
Flcilda grapefruit that you find oa
the Oregon menus. Or It's California
or Arizona or Florida oranges. Or it's
pineapple or tigs and sundry other
fruit from the same ttates. Some
4000. car of fruit roll into Oregon
from California every year, while
Oregos pears wait for Oregoa con
sumer. But Medford women have appeared
la the picture. They have started a
movement among women' clubs to
show the many ways In which Rogue
river pears may be prepared for the
table. They have an almost unparal
leled fruit oa which to apply their
cunning. The Bosc pear, the Cornice,
the Anjou and the Winter Nells are
fruit of the best food content and as
toothsome as fruit can ever be, and
it is this mighty asset that the
Medford women have oa which to
base their campaign ot selling P-ogue
river pears.
They broadcast printed recipes tor
pear pie, recipes for pear-flavored Ice
cream, said to be delectable beyondA
compare, recipes tor pear rolls, and
so oa and so oa.
And perhaps, along with these and
all the other recipes, the women will
tell the cockeyed world about raw
pears la cream aad sugar, a dish tnat
to many aa epicure Is more delicious
than any other fruit, a dish with a
flavor that clings the whole winter
through as the fruit is brought from
cold storage aad alongside of which
many fruits grown outside of Oregon
are Insipid. (Portland Journal.)
