GREAT FIGHTERS
r e
: BACK
(By United Press)
NEW YORK, April 11 — Once again
it has been demonstrated to the fight
public that once a fighter is down he
never Rtarts up again. It is a truth
that has stood in spite of everything.
In the long list of scrappers who have
bruised themselves for the amusement
of the public there Is just one whose
record stands to belle the statement.
Joe Rivers came to New York a
short time ago and announced that
a new Joe was going to show that he
could come back and fight as of old.
He was going to emulate Stanley Ket
chell, who was dropped once and lived
to see the day when he recovered his
lost laurels the same wr'ay.
Time was when Joe Rivers was the
par excellence of boxing. He was a
marvel at placing his hands. And he
could hit. His brown fists carried
more weight, perhaps, than any light
weight ever possessed. One blow
from his right hand was sufficient
to fell the mightiest scrappers. Ad
Wolgast can tell you. It will be a long
time before Ad forgets the battle in
which he, as well as Rivers, fell to
the floor unconscious.
Rivers met Jimmy Duffy in New
York. He boxed in the early rounds
with all the old mastery that he once
possessed, but it was noticed that
when his blows landed they failed to
carry the sting of former days. And
as the hour progressed Rivers began
to weaken.
It was the dissipation of former
years telling. Rivers never will be
the man of old. His chance to lead
the lightweights has passed. The
greatest fighter the country has seen
In many years has lost his chance.

ENGLISH PAPER AAILLS USE
GRASS
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, April 11. — Although sev
eral of the largest paper mills in Eng
land have been forced to shut down
because the government stopped the
importation of pulpwood, many others
have managed to keep going by utiliz
ing grass which they obtain from
Scotland, the Fenlands and India.
Printing paper and note paper is
being made from grass mixed with
other materials. The cheapest fibre
is obtained from rags, which are no
longer exported. Rag cuttings are now
worth $140 a ton, which is still below
the cost of wood pulp, now selling for
$150 a ton. It was $40 a ton before
the war.

DESCENDANTS MUTINEERS
FIGHTING IT FRONT
(By Associated Press)
SYDNEY, Australia, April 11. —
Norfolk island, which is peopled by
descendants of the mutineers of the
British ship Bounty, EnglUh sailors
who married Tahitian women and fled
with them to escape British justice
after the seizure of the Bounty, has
just furnished several more recruits
for the Australian forces. At least
four Norfolk islanders who were di
rect descendents of the Bounty's mu
tineers, have been killed in action.
WOMENWlDOWCLEINERS
POOR RISKS
LONDON, April 11. — London is a
city of dirty windows. This Is es
pecially true of the windows of the
large office buildings and the hotels.
Women cleaners have been employed,1
but they have confined their work to
the windows nearest the ground. Most
of the work is at dangerous heights,
and the insurance companies have re
fused to insure against accidents to
women window cleaners.

SITE OF CANOPUS
BEEN FINALLY
LOCATED
(By Associated Press)
CAinO, April It — The site of Ca
nopus, one of the most ancient cities
of Egypt, has been found, according to
Daninos Pasha, who claims the honor
of making the discovery. For many
years he has maintained that its site
lay somewhere in the region of Abou
kir bay, and apparently his conten
tion is now proved to be correct.
Before the foundation of Alexandria
Canopus was the commercial capital
of the country, and the most Import
ant religious center in lower Egypt.
Excavations have already brought
to light a great public bath of the
Ptolemaic period, about 15 feet In
length. It is divided into twenty
chambers, of which the largest is
about 24 feet long and of the same
width. There are rooms for various
forms of baths, such as hip and mud
baths and a large hall which has evi
dently been used for massage pur
poses and the preparation of aromatic
oil.
Bronze coins found in various rooms
bear effigies of Ptolemey Soter,
Ptolomey Energates and Queen Bere
nice. Of the several statuettes un
earthed, the most interesting is that
of a Chinese figure, which shows, it
Is contended, that in the dim past re
lations must have existed between
China and this ancient capital of
Egypt.
AMERICAN TEACHINC SOME
RESPECTS DEFICIENT
(By Associated Press)
OXFORD, Eng., April 11. — Dr. G.
R. Parkin, general secretary of the
Rhodes Trust, will make an extended
visit to the United States and Canada
within the next few months, mainly
to investigate secondary school and
college teaching there as a prepara
tion for courses at Oxford. He is con
vinced that such teaching must be de
ficient in some respects, since so many
American applicants for Rhodes schol
arships fall to pass the Oxford en
trance examinations.

cessful advance on Bagdad the British

world to navigate the Tigris,

bered craft which the Arab discrlbes
as chias, and of which the ship car
penters attached to the force built
130. These craft carry about forty

and Just a bit of sail. Larger craft of
similar design are called Haffra. A
total of 310 boats of these types were

Bagdad. These queer craft kept In
touch with the advanced base through
out the operations northward from the
Persian gulf.
Other craft used Included the "bal
lorn,” or canoe, ranging from over 100
tons down to the tiny craft of three
quarters of a ton, which causes Bas
rah to be described as "The Venice of
the Kast;" the "mashoof," a hollow
