H. Ruth, the well known outfielder, is today en route for Hot Springs for the purpose of boiling the beef right down to the bone. Before boarding the train, the Rage declared himself as follows: He would hit at least 60 home runs and the New York Yankees would win another pennant.

ALL QUIET IN LIFE OF JACK DEMI LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2. was quiet in the life of Dempsey, heavyweight champion today, following the exp with the quite plausible belief that the season of 1925 will see him better his home run record or permanently abandon the enphase. Geo. H. Ruth, the well-known outfielder, is today enroute for Hot Springs for the purpose of bolling the beef right down to the bone. Before boarding the train, the Bage declared himself as follows: He would hit at least 60 home runs and the New York Yankees would win another pennant. He weighed slightly less than what the local dealers refer to as a short ton. "I admit that this year probably will mark my last serious attempt to break my record of 52," the great man said. "I feel of course, that I am good for at least five or six seasons more as a big leaguer, maybe longer, but as time goes on my chances of beating the record reduces. I have no illusions about that. What was easy when you were a kid becomes increasingly hard as you advance beyond the thirty mark." The great man expressed here the general opinion of close observers. They have witnessed his struggles with the demon bat from year to year and they are pleased to note that it is a losing battle. Just what the Babe wogus at the moment must remain a secret for the simple reason that the Babe is like the oakler. He won't tell. On other matters he was almost inquacious; however, The Yankees seemed to be his favorite theme. "I think you will see the old club, as it was in 1923, playing ball this year," quoth he. "We just kicked the pennant away last season. Over confidence or something. I am not trying to take anything away from the Senators. They deserved everything they got and more. But we gave the better club, and 1925 will prove it. The Tigers are always dangerous, too, and the Athletics are bound to be an improved ball club. However, all I can say is, watch the Yankees." Many may agree with the young man's ideas here but not with his apparent belief that he has a white man's chance for the home run record. There are too many factors that will militate against his efforts. One of them is the good word emanating from semi-official sources that the day of the slugger is gone. This, they say, is to be the pitcher's year and the rather hectic efforts of the various clubs to line up and develop their staffs would seem to bear out this idea. Connie Mack, for example, is taking his pitchers south in less than three weeks time. They also say the so-called "rabbit ball," the existence of with the quite plausible belief that the season of 1925 will see him better his home run record or permanently abandon the enphase. Geo. H.

home run record. There are too many factors that will militate against his efforts. One of them is the good word emanating from semi-official sources that the day of the slugger is gone. This, they say, is to be the pitcher's year and the rather hectic efforts of the various clubs to line up and develop their staffs would seem to bear out this idea. Connie Mack, for example, is taking his pitchers south in less than three weeks time. They also say the socalled "rabbit ball", the existence of which was never admitted in official quarters is a thing of the past and point to the marked falling off in home runs last year as proof of the contention. The Babe himself fell all of 12 behind his record, which is another angle of the story. He played seventy-seven games on the wide open spaces of the Yankee stadium and being a gentleman of tact and discernment, he shortened his swing on many occasions; in fact, so many that he read the league in hitting. It might be mentioned that the Habe will play seventy-seven games on the Yankee stadium again this season. He compiled his great record while playing half of the season at the Polo grounds where the right field wall is convenient and moderately low. The pitcher themselves will try to see to it that the great man does not again run wild. They may not be giving him as many intentional passes as before but they so seldom give him a good one that his walks are almost monotonous. Ty Cobb has expressed the common attitude in rather succinct terms: "Four for one is better than one for four." That epilog stands for something that will cramp Ruth's style beyond all probability of a successful record as a slugger. CHINESE LEADER, SUN YAT SEN, DYING PEKING, Feb. 2.—Dr. Sun Yat Sen, South China dictator, is dying. He was sinking today and his condition was regarded as critical. Artificial stimulation has been found necessary. Sun's temperature was reported as 101 and his pulse 100 in a bulletin issued by his physician. COOLIDGE URGES FARM EXCHANGE WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—President Coolidge today asked for action at this session of congress or agricultural relief legislation and the reorganization of government departments. In a conference at the White House today with Chairman Snell of the house rules committee, the president indicated that the way should be cleared for consideration of these problems as soon as the 1925-26 appropriation bills have been passed. The farm exchange desired by the president consists of the creation of governmental machinery to assist the development of cooperative marketing organizations. Members of the president's special agricultural commission, appeared today before the house agriculture committee to explain their plan for establishing a federal co-operative marketing board to assist farmers in marketing their crops. Similar legislation is pending in the senate. Administration leader plan to bring the matter up in the house after the appropriation bills are disposed of, but hopes for its passage at this session are not bright at the capitol. CUT PAPER PREIGHT WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—Hall roads were ordered by the later state commerce commission today to establish on or before March 10 a freight rate of 39 cents per 100 pounds on shipments of news print paper in carloads from Alexandria, Ind., to Omaha and Kansas City.

ALL QUIET IN LIFE OF JACK DEMPSEY LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2. — All was quiet in the life of Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, day following the explanation when he appeared at the Letters From the People AWAKE! AMERICA, AWAKE! The Plain Dealer: Un-American—What is the definition for un-American? In this day and age if a clique, corporation, political body or individual wants to down an issue they declare it un-American. It appears now-30 days, if an American citizen asserts his rights and tries to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America he is declared un-American. There is a movement on foot right now to have "The Star Spangled Banner" destroyed. They say it is an insult to foreigners who have come to our Dear Old United States for their own welfare and profit. A request has been received by Will C. Wood, superintendent of public instruction of the state of California, asking that the song be removed from the public schools, and if this is not possible, to destroy the National Anthem by removing two lines therefrom. Dear people, citizens of the United States, you will find "The Star Spangled Banner" printed in every byminal. Surely if there was anything treacherous or insulting about this song it would not be found in our churches. If those who are making this protest get away with it, do you think they will stop there? I'll say they won't! The next thing to bob up would be an attack on some of our library books and then our American history would have to go. It was all right for our boys to go to foreign lands and fight under "The rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air." Yes, "Their blood has washed out their foul foot-steps' poll-in-tion."

So dear people of Anaheim, there are times in all our lives when we can have our little say as to who is going to run our town by voting for these tried and true men. With all sincerity, C. A. ROUSSEAU. February 2, 1925. The Plain Dealer: Dear Editor: I will appreciate it greatly if you can find room in your columns to print the following: WHO DOES OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ALWAYS KNOCK INSTEAD OF BOOST? One cannot help but notice, especially if you happen to be a radio fan, the vast difference id the way our Chamber of Commerce is advertising this city to the way the chambers of other cities are doing. There are very few nights that there isn't one of these organizations on the air with a good constructive program, telling the world how advantageous it would be to live in their respective localities. I have in mind a program presented Saturday evening, Jan. 31 over broadcasting station, KFI, by our neighbor, Placecisia. The whole program was delightful and educational and will undoubtedly be of great help to them. Their idea is to get together and go ahead, do something constructive instead of destructive as we have here. Instead of taking advantage of the privilege of using some one of these free broadcasting stations for the purpose of giving our community some good advertising.

Dempsey did appear at the marriage license bureau, it was learned, and asked "May I get a license?" But it was later learned that he had made a mistake in the offices and that he probably had been misdirected. The explanation came late Saturday evening when Jack Kearns, the champion's manager, was found and said he knew nothing about the marriage license but did know that earlier in the day Dempsey had left their hotel with the intention of obtaining a license for the gymnasium. Estelle Taylor, Dempsey's fiancee, was also found and said that if Dempsey was or had been trying to secure a marriage license she knew nothing of it. The sporting world here was also bursting today with a smile over the assertion of Dempsey that even though he had said he would retire from the ring when he married Miss Taylor that he had not officially said so and that if Tommy Gibbons or anyone else wanted his crown they would have to meet him in the ring for it. CALL CELEBRITIES LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2. — Several celebrities prominent in the sporting world were expected to be called as witnesses for the prosecution today when the case of Tony Fuente, self-styled "Maxim Champion," his manager, Fred Winsor, and Jack Reddy, manager or Fred Fulton, is resumed in superior court. The trio are charged with conspiracy to violate the California boxing laws as the result of an alleged "fake flight" between Fulton and Fuente two months ago. Fulton already has pleaded guilty to the charges against him and paid a fine of $500. Among those expected to be called at witnesses are Jack Doyle, well known promoter, and James J. Jeffries, former world's champion. They were expected to be asked whether or not in their opinion the fight was a "fake." ATHLETE SUFFERS FROM LEG STRAIN Call Conference On Rehabilitation WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. — A rehabilitation conference at which it is hoped a plan for the peaceful unification, of China will be evolved, has opened in Peking according to dispatches received by the state department today from Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman, the American minister. FORCE DEMPSEY TO DEFEND HIS TITLE NEW YORK, Feb. 2. — Speaking for Tom Gibbons, leading white challenger for the heavyweight title, Eddie Kane is expected to confer with Tex Rickard today for the purpose of signing Gibbons for bouts with Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills. Kane came here accompanied by Gibbons at the re-entry say they won't. The next thing to bob up would be an attack on some of our library books and then our American history would have to go. It was all right for our boys to go to foreign land and fight under "The rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air." Yes, "Their blood has washed out their foul foot-steps" pol-u-tion. But now it is different, we must sing this beautiful anthem for fear we insult our foreign friends. Yes, we need an organization to protect everyone's rights, Americans and foreigners as well. This is a free country, it is true. But do we Americans want our freedom taken away from us? I say NO! We need an organization which would be so strong that it could silence anything that is un-American. And I just want to say this right here: That any newspaper that would publish such lies as the Los Angeles Times has published about Anaheim. It is un-American. The Times published this stuff for its own selfish greed. A real estate man once told me the United States ought to take over Mexico. "And, if they ever do," he said. "I am going to follow the army into Mexico and grab some land and in a short time I would be immensely wealthy." Is that Americanism? It say it is not! It is selfish greed, willing to see humans sacrifice lives that he may gain. I believe these men of our city council, Metallc, Knippe, Slaback and Hasson, whom some rumors are using a lot of un-Americanism in trying to recall, are good clean American citizens, and I have never had the pleasure of meeting any one of them. I do know who Mr. Hasson is, by sight only. These men have proved their integrity, so folks, let us show our appreciation by reinstating these honorable men by voting against the recall. And let us stop here, but show our appreciation still further by voting for Harry L. Turton (I don't know this man, either, but I have heard of his principles enough to know he is there with the goods), and vote YES for the recall of Mr. Stock. Dear people of Anaheim: It doesn't make any difference whether we agree with each other or not, we can be courteous.

Halt Arrangements LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2.—Final arrangements for the establishment of a trust fund for the expected heir of Charlie Chaplin and his girl-wife, Lita Gray Chaplin, have reached a temporary halt. It was learned today because the comedian feels that the establishment of such a fund is premature because the child has not been born. However, Chaplin is said to be keenly desirous of creating a trust fund for his child soon after birth. Edwin McMurray, San Francisco attorney, uncle of Mrs. Chaplin, who came here 10 days ago to represent his niece in the financial negotiations, was reported today as en route back to the northern city.

The oil stocks were the backbone of the market, nearly trading in the best known independent and Standard Oil shares following reports of a decline in Wortham pool to 15,000 barrels a day, an advance in Corning crude oil and steady decline in the amount of stored oil products. Standard Oil stocks on the curb and the listed market continued the vigorous rally in prices which has been progress since the first week in January and the active independent oils were joined by a few more stocks in both markets, Louisiana Oil, Skelly, Pure Oil, Sinclair, Coden and many other oil shares made new high price records for the movement, in some cases these being the highest prices since 1923. Buying orders for the Northwestern Railroad stocks flooded the market shortly after the noon period and the liveliest movement in these in many a day, was witnessed.

"Tongues of Flame" is the last novel by the late Peter Clark Macfarlane. It's a full-sized thriller with the star in his finest role in months. The picture more than proves that Meighan's name outside of any theatre is a guarantee of money's worth entertainment within. Tom is sure there when it comes to virile, two-fisted 'he-man' characters. And "Tongues of Flame" is Meighan at his best. Joseph Henabery, who made Valentino's "A Sainted Devil," directed the picture which tells of a grasping capitalist who uses every underhanded means imaginable to swindle a group of Indians out of their valuable reservations. Meighan, playing "Hell Fire" Harrington, veteran of the great war, in the employ of the swindler is used as a tool in the transaction until he is brought to a realization of what is going on. The Indians, many of whom had served in Harrington's company in the World War, come to him with their troubles. Their spokesman, Lahute, a little Indian girl school teacher who worships Harrington from afar, tells the young lawyer that her people have need of his services. It is then that "Helifire" shows how he got his MYSTERY: DRAMA IN 'EAST OF SUEZ' Mystery, drama and suspense are the three novels of the new Poa Negri starring picture for Paramount, "East of Suez," which comes to the California for today and Tuesday. Produced by Raoul Watts from the Somerset Magham play of the same name, "East of Suez" carries the audience into a mysterious land which has concealed and fostered more mystery than any other equal space on the globe, the Chinese Empire. Bringing such a story to the screen called forth all the inventive genius of the Paramount forces. As a result sets decorations, furnishings and costumes produced for this picture combine to present an orgy of gorgeousness which is all the more impressive because of the richness of the unfamiliar Chinese artistry. The featured cast chosen to support Pola Negri in "East of Suez," which Sada Cowan adapted to the screen, is one of the strongest which has yet been grouped with the famous star. Edmund Lowe, Rockcliffe Fellows, Noah Beery, E. H. Calvert and Solin Kamiyama are the players who head the cast. The whole Pacific coast was ransacked for unusual Chinese furnishings with which to deck the sets of "East of Suez." What could not be found in America was ordered from Honolulu and China. The result is a prosecution of beautiful Chinese artistry.

The railroads were ordered to charge the same rates to all the points mentioned. measured service applies only to business phones and is optional to subscribers until Jan. 3, 1928, under the commission's order.

Their spokesman, Lahleet, a little Indian girl school teacher who worships Harrington from afar, tells the young lawyer that her people have need of his services. It is then that "Hellfire" shows how he got his name. Action? Tons of it! Heart-appeal? Heaps of it! Gripping drama? You said it!
