PARIS PLANS ON RAISING
HOGS AFTER THE IIYAH
PARTS, May 20.—Municipal hog
raising in Paris on a large scale may
result from the war. Lack of labor
and deficient transportation facilities
have not only held up provisions
needed by the housewife and made
them dearer, but have delayed the
garbage before front doors until it has
compelled universal attention to its
immense volume as well as to the in
conveneince from its overstay in the
Btreet.
Hog-raising has been proposed as a
remedy for the lack of food and the
superabundance of rotting waste.
Vegetable garbage and greasy sul
stances in the boxes over which Par
isians have been stumbling nightly
since the war began would, it is as
serted, fatten 100,000 hogs each year,
and pork is now worth 60 cents a
pound.
Thousands of errant dogs nourish
themselves on the contents of the
garbage boxes, and a great many of
the dogs have been spreading hydro
phobia.
The proposal ..abraces municipal
markets for the sale of the fresh
pork, eliminating middlemen’s profits
and providing competition against
dealers who, In spite of all efforts to
control retail prices, have found
means of steadily pushing up profits.
It is estimated that the gross rev
enue from the enterprise would be
100,000,000 francs a year, all of it
nearly clear gain for the city.

ALDERSHOT, England, April 13 (by
mail).—American soldiers encamped
in this district had an object lesson in
the conduct of a big boxing match
here a few days ago, when they were
invited to be the guests of the British
! soldiers at a program of fourteen con
tests between representatives of the
Aldershot command and the Southern
command of the British army.
The headliners of the tournament
included about half of the best boxers
in England, now all in khaki. Among
them were Sergeant Jimmy Wilds,
Sergeant Rolph of the Canadians, Sid
Burns, Corporal Billy Fullerton, and
several others whose names were well
known at the National Sporting Club
in pre-war days.
There were no purses, the prizes be
ing simple silver and bronze medals
worth about $5 each. Had the com
petition taken place at a London
arena and been open to the public,
the program would have been worth
about $25,000 to the promoters. But
the public was not admitted, and the
price of admission to the soldier spec
tators ranged from 12 cents to $1. The
latter amount corresDonded to the $30
seats in the old days of the Natonal
Sporting Club in Loudon.
There was an enormous attendance
of officers and men, together with a
great many soldiers’ families, it was
probably the first time In the history
of the ring in which men, women and
children attended a match of cham
pionship caliber.
Despite the keenness of the fighting,
there was only one bout in which any
blood flowed. The majority of the
men taking part were so physically
fit, owing to their military training,
that they were able to stand up in
the ring and give and receive punish
ment with a degree of fortitude sel
dom seen in professional boxing meet
ings.
An impressive feature of the entire
competition, from the standpoint of
the American spectators, was the
scrupulously strict and fair referee
ing. Holding and clinching were
stopped immediately, one warning
only being given. Any pair who
stood up and engaged in “shadow
fighting” also received a first—and
last—caution. There were fourteen
contests altogether, each of six
rounds. The Aldershot command won
the meet, taking thirteen of the four
teen events.
Commander Walcott, head of the
American branch of the British ad
miralty intelligence department in
London, was the chief referee

WASHINGTON, May 18.—Patrons
of an airplane passenger and mail
service to be established on the Ca
ribbean sea after the war will be re
quired to pay fare on a basis of
weight .
The project, which is said to have
the sanction of the British govern
ment and the backing of London cap
italists, provides for the transporta
tion of passengers, mall and light
freight between Key West, Fla., and
the island of Trinidad, off the north
east coast of South America.
Intermediate landing"’depots would
be established at Barbadoes, St. Kitts,
Porto Rico, Jamaica and Cuba. Hydro
airplanes would be used for the trip,
which, it is estimated, would take
five days.
