DEMPSEY AT LAST IN PUBLIC FAVOR LOS ANGELES, June 27—Jack Dempsey is at last coming into his own. Pew—perhaps no other—American athletes have been ridiculed, abused and attacked as has the world's heavyweight champion. Always anxious to be a popular champion, Dempsey has never even come close to that goal but here in Los Angeles he is steadily gaining in popularity. Working hard to fill a contract with a Universal City motion picture company, Dempsey is leading a simple life, boxing only occasionally for charity. In two recent exhibitions here within a week Dempsey's appearance alone was largely responsible for raising $62,000. He boxed at the Olympic tryouts and aided raising money to pay the Los Angeles quota for the expenses of sending American athletes to France and the champion also appeared in three exhibition bouts at a show arranged for charity. Dempsey takes some big chances in these exhibition bouts. In one night he met three big, powerful heavies and knocked them all out in jig time, but one false move, one single slip, might have caused him at least a lot of trouble. He might have been knocked for a flop and what publicity the story would have received. The champion's charities cannot be said to be based on a plea for sympathy. Dempsey is rich and need never worry about finances. So after all one must yield that he works for the unfortunate out of goodness of his heart in a supreme desire to be called a worthy title-holder. Among the strange birds, beast and fish discovered in Brazil are vampire bats, flat fish with a poison spike in their tails, and vultures which make noises very like dogs barking.

FIRST CATHOLIC RETREAT IN WEST PORTLAND, Ore., June 27—The Servite Fathers of Portland "PUSSYFOOT" AT TEMPLE SUNDAY "Pussyfoot" Johnson, who speaks at the White Temple Sunday evening, has just returned from Africa, the so-called dark continent, though in a temperance way, according to Johnson, it is not as dark as might be supposed. Johnson traveled 6350 miles in Africa, and in 66 days made 107 speeches in the interest of world prohibition. Everywhere the people "received him gladly," as he told the story of what America has done in banishing the liquor traffic and of how the rapid spread of prohibition will soon achieve a saloonless world. The wine growers of South Africa were especially interested. Naturally religious and pious, these men, nevertheless, have a vast commercial and industrial interest in the grape business, and hitherto have not seen how they could manage to live under prohibition. But Mr. Johnson made a profound impression on them when he described conditions in America, and told them that grape growers in the United States have been more prosperous under prohibition than ever before. Starting at Cape Town in the extreme south, he traversed the entire continent, coming up the rich valley of the Nile, and at the ancient cities of Cairo and Alexandria told the same prohibition story. Just as he was honored and feted in India two years ago, so in Africa they received him with high honors, partly as a distinguished individual, partly because he is an American, and partly because of his message, in which all classes were interested. Even in the Island of Zanzibar, the "Pussyfoot" voice was heard: On his way from South Africa, by way of Egypt, he was marooned on Zanzibar for three weeks. But his fame had preceded him. For the country already had gone dry as to the majority of the population, the Sultan having decreed prohibition to everybody except Among the strange birds, beast and fish discovered in Brazil are vampire butts, flat fish with a poison spike in their tails, and vultures which make noises very like dogs barking.

The sanctuary proper will be built on the summit of Rocky Butte, a precipitous cliff overlooking the surrounding country. It will be 500 feet long, and two main towers will rise 300 feet in height. Approximately 4000 people will be accommodated in the building. Seven chapels—each dedicated to a principle of the Catholic faith—will be erected along a paved way leading up to the sanctuary. The great undertaking will be the only one of its kind in America, and it is the purpose of the founders that it become a shrine of spiritual retreat for thousands of pilgrims annually from all over the United States. Romanesque architecture will prevail throughout the edifice, and stone will be quarried from the ground surrounding the site. Construction of three chapels will start this fall, and it is estimated that it will take five years to complete the work. Subscription and contributions are being sought over the entire country for the work. The Servite Fathers, a Catholic community founded at Florence, Italy, in 1233, have erected a score of similar shrines in various parts of Europe. Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York is head of the Servite Fathers in America. The shrine has the special blessing and sanction of Pope Plus XI. MAKE FIRE TRAIL ABOUT STATE HOUSE SACRAMENTO, June 27.—Construction of a fire trail for the protection of the Sonoma State Home for Feeble Minded Children and the surrounding watersheds, today was ordered by W. D. Wagner, superintendent of the state department of institutions. New wells are being dug at the Mendocino State Home, the Agnews State Hospital and the Norwalk Hospital. Wagner said, due to the increasing shortage of water. It is expected by this means to command officer of the army general depot at Columbus, O., imulation “of the present day American conception of peace through world unity and international comity.” Even in the Island of Zanzibar, the "Pussyfoot" voice was heard. On his way from South Africa, by way of Egypt, he was marooned on Zanzibar for three weeks. But his fame had preceded him. For the country already had gone dry as to the majority of the population, the Sultan having decreed prohibition to everybody except the Christians (note the word), and that decree extended to 200,-000 of the 203,000 population. Under arrangement of the local Indian and Arab leaders a mass meeting was quickly arranged in Royal Cinema hall, the largest auditorium in the city. It was packed on short notice. The meeting was presided over by Hpn. Haythorne Reed, judge of the high court. The Sultan sent two dignitaries from the palace to represent him. This was followed by a second meeting arranged by the Zanzibar branch of the Aya Samal, a religious body which is to Hinduism very much what the Reformation was to Christianity. Aryan hymns were sung, and after Johnson had given his address, an Aryan evangelist, Thakor Prvinshijl Bhajnik, chanted an original song, composed for the occasion, in which Mr. Johnson was very highly praised. Johnson says: "As a result of these two demonstrations and several conferences, steps are being taken to form a regular prohibition organization for Zanzibar and to convert the bibulous Christians to abstinence; also, if possible, to bring them under the prohibition law, which many of them quite urgently need." This world preacher of prohibition—"Pussyfoot" Johnson—is at home again for a short time, in his old-time strength, with a merry twinkle still in his good left eye, and with a stronger and better story than ever of world conquest for righteousness. He comes with even more optimism than ever before, and with an appeal for America to consecrate herself to real missionary enterprise in fighting the battle against the organized world liquor traffic. He comes with "the smile that won't come off." Three years ago in June, July and August just after he had lost his eye, "Pussyfoot" toured all cities in the United States with a population of 100,000 or more, addressing great mass meetings Old Fashioned July 4th Celebration 2—Balloon Ascensions—2 $15,000— Fire Works —$15,000 Day and Night Special Band Concerts by Long Beach Municipal Band, direction Herbert L.
