T0 BATI'LE DEMPSEY Beckett French Title Holder While Carpentier Cham- pion of England (By United Press.) London, Dec. 4.—Joe Beckett, heavyweight champion of England meets Georges Carpentier, king of the French heavies in a twenty round ‘bout at Holburn stadium here to- night The winner will be matched with Jack Dempsey for the heavyweight championship of the world. It will be a match of skill against brawn. Carpentier will depend on science and ring generalship to over- come the handicap of twenty rounds superior weight. At 9:30 London time( equal to 4:30 p. m. New York time) the bat- tlers will enter the ring before a crowd of about 4,000. Carpentier will weigh around 165 pounds while Beckett will weigh about 184 pounds. Carpentier is 6 feet 1 inch in height while Beckett is five feet ten inches. Both are twenty-five years old. Carpentier is one of the best known figures in the ring while Beckett was practically unknown until last Feb- ruary when he jumped into the lime- light by knocking out Bombardier Wells in a few rounds. The Frenchman has fought close to 100 battles since 1907 and has an impressive list of knockouts. He re- tired from the ring in 1914 and en- tered the French flying corps where he qualified as a flight sergeant and won the Medaille Militarie and the <croix de guerre. His fight tomorrow night will be his first since the end of the war. Beckett also had his ring career interrupted by the war. He served as an air mechanic in the Royal Air Force. The British champion started fighting when he was eight years old and knocked out his first opponent for which he received the magnificent sum of 60 cents. His first big match was with Packey Mahoney eight years ago and Joe was knocked out. He was also put to sleep at various times by Frank Goddard, Harry Reeves and Pat O'Keefe. He then began a campaign that resulted in 20 knockouts and shoved him into the limelight, but he quickly faded away, and became prominent again only this year when decisive victories over Wells, Goddard and Eddie McGoorty, the American, made him a candiate for the world's championship crown. Beokett's father at one time was a fighter and he has a brother now in the ring. He spent his boyhood days traveling around with a carnival owned by his parents and it was on these trips that he started fighting. Outside of the ring, Beckett is an able " athlete being good at swimming, run- ning, pole-vnultlng and'hurdling.

She'll lay eggs most any place except in the nice downy nest Mrs. Lyman provided in the most sani- tary and scientifically perfect hen house. She selected the top of a straw | stack to lay one batch of eggs and hatch out a brood of 15 chicks. Then she had a terrible time getting her youngsters down on the ground. ° “Go to Halifax.” In England in the eighteenth cen- tury there was a peculiarly cruel judge who presided over the court at Hali- fax. One of his practices was to order the accused executed and send his case to a jury afterward. To be sent to Halifax became equivalent to con- viction. Hence the expression. HON. MAURICE F. EGAN Hon. Maurice Francis Egan, who is collaborating on the official history of the Knights of Columbus. Mr. Egan was United States minister to Den- mark during the war and purchased the Virgin islands for the United States. The history will contain a record of the 50,000 knights who eerved in the war. o Archaeologlst Thmks Anclent Indians Cannibals ADISON, WIS.—The builders of the famous Indian earthworks on the Crawfish river near Lake Mills were cannibalistic, according to Dr. S. A. Barrett, president of the Wisconsin Archaeological s6ciety. During the last two months the Aztalan earth-works in- closure has been subjected to investi- gations and excavations by the Mil- waukee museum, of which Doctor Barrett is the head. Although the grounds have been plowed upward of 70 years the outline of the earth- works fs still distinct. The fabled city of Astalan was first discovered in 1836 and surveyed in 1837 by N. E. Hyer. The city was named Aztalan by Hyer, because, mc- cording to Humbolt, the Asztecs had a tradition that their ancestors came from the North, and the possibility that the newly discovered remams might have beep bullt by them, suggested the name. When the first survey wds made the inclosure covered about 18 acres. The remains of the ity were inclosed in a wall of earth and adobe bricks which was 631 feet long on the north, 1,419 feet on the west and 705 feet an the south side, making the total length of the wall 2,750 feet. It was from one to five feet high. THEY WERE CANNIBALISTIC ATTACKS GRAVITATION LAWS Newton's Theory Not Absolute, De- clares Prof. Malorano, Ital. lan Scientist. Rome, Italy.—Newton’s theory of gravitation has been attacked by Pro fessor Malorano, who, speaking before a meeting of prominent scientists here, declared the results of experiments he had performed upset the hitherto ac- cepted laws of physics governing the motions of celestial bodies.

From this the professor deduces four things: First, that bodles have both a true and an apparent mass, the true mass of the sun being double the apparent mass. Second, that the stars attract other bodies with forces entirely different from those thus far admitted to ex 1st. Third, that the solar heat of stars is generated by the force of gravitation emanating from interior strata. From this, he argues, the solar system has had an immensely longer life than has been believed by scientistssuntil the present. Fourth, that the evolution of the world has been closely linked to the phenomenon which hLe has discovered. TO EXTEND AIR MAIL SERVICE !
