WORLD CHAMPION
NEVER KNOCKS
REAL CLOSElJP OF DEMPSEY
OBTAINED AS HE APPEARS
IN VAUDEVILLE.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Yea,
for the champ!
Whether Jack Dempsey is
loafing or acting in the films, or
doing a vaudeville stunt, no one,
whether friend or stranger, ever
forgets for a minute he is the
premier walloper, the leading
knocker-out of the world. Every
day he appears in his theatrical
engagement in the Metropolitan
district this fact is prominent.
Jack knows this, knows that if he
did not rank with chloroform and
looney gas as a sleep producer par
excellence, he could not make thir
teen dollars per annum on the stage.
This is the same as saying he has
no illusions about his histronic abil
ity and less love for the thespian
boards.
“Gee, this is a tough life:”
Dempsey grinned at his visitors
as he strode to his dressing room
from the wings. Jack has a wide
infectious grin which wrinkles his
gleaming dark eyes and makes a
brave show' of perfect white teeth.
“Wait a mnute till I get this stuff
off me and I’ll be right out w'ith
you.”
Many Admirers.
. In fifteen minutes, the champion
* is ready to make the dive out of the
stage door and it is a dive, because
at every matinee there is a group of
from twenty-five to fifty hanging
around outside just waiting to get a
nod from him or to touch him in
friendly fashion upon the shoulder.

“Hello champion! Hello Jack!”
Various salutations rattle at him
from all sides. Jack grins, a little
self-consciously.
“Hello Boys!” He has rather a
high-pitched voice, a voice of the
sort that seems so typical of world
famous athletes. The bull mouthed
cadences, it might be remembered,
usually comes from little men, the
bell-like baritones from actors and
the husky, throaty roar from poli
ticians and rummies.
“Come on,” says Jack, “we’ll beat
it up to the hotel.
Jack Kearns, who has less inclin
ation loi avoiding the multitudes,
stops to shake hands with several
friends and invites them to come to
the hotel, too.
Coats Off.
Everyone crowds into the elevator,
and the elevator boy exchanges a
different jocularity with the cham
pion, who grins again and playfully
tap." him on the jaw" with his fingers.
No knight ever rose from the touch
of a monarch’s sword upon his
shoulder with the seraphic ex
pression that adorns the face of 'he
elevator joker.
Coats off is the order once the
company is gathered in the ' tam
pion’s suite.
Depsey picks up a papjr and
?:arts to read. One of his most de
voted heelers, a rather fast and
chunky bond salesman, gets kidding
with a fight writer. A little touch
of bitterness develops—you know,
that sort of josh that has a sting to
it. Kearns and the rest watch for
developments with little smiles.
Dempsey goes on reading.
The two begin to wrestle. They
plunge and roll all over the room,
finally ending upon the bed in
death grips, breathing like wal
russes. Dempsey casts his paper
aside, walks over to the bed, pulls
down the blankets and wraps up
the two men in them so that they
get hardly a whiff of air. When
they are untangled they are peace
able enough.
Conversation ensues. It appears
that with the champion all the world
is divided into two classes — the
knockers and the boosters. Just to
test it out. he will ask what you
thing of so and so. If you don’t
think much of so and so, Dempsey
classes you at once as a knocker
and he will never accept you as a
real friend. And it does not make
a hit of difference whether he likes
the guy who is knocked or whether
he dislikes him. He never knocks
himself.
In the course of conversation the
name of Firpo comes up.
“Oh,” says Jack, “He’s a good
guy.”
And Wills.
“He’s a big, strong guy and liable
to beat any one.”
“Will you ever be licked, Jack?”
asks some one.
“We all get it if we keep on long

SAYS MEN OF 50 MUST
USE COSMETICS TO KEEP
WITH YOUTHS IN BUSINESS
CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 3.—Old age is a
crime in the world of business, ac
cording to Neal R. Andrews, of New
York, in an address here.
“Men fifty years old,” said Mr.
Andrews, “are classed as second
hand men. They have depreciated
in value. Their minds may be as
alert as ever. But physically they
no longer have their former energy,
initiative and enthusiasm. Business
men do not want them. They are
human used cars.
“This is a young man’s day. Vo
cational education is turning out ex
perts for every job. Young men are
eager, alert, full of ideas and physi
cal energy. It is young men that
employers welcome.
“If a man at fifty has accumulat
ed a competence or has a perman
ent job, his future is safe. If he
has neither money or a job he is
flotsam drifting inevitably towards
dependency or the poor house. Job
less at fifty, a man’s case is almost
hopeless.
“Old age is one of the nation’s big
problems. It can be solved. Old
age can be camouflaged through
personal grooming. The day is fast
approaching when cosmetics will be
commonly used by men as a meas
ure of self-preservation. The jobless
old man can find a job only if he
makes himself appear young.”

SENATOR EDGE ASSERTS
EXTRA SESSION UNWISE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1— A protest
against proposals for an extra ses_
sion of the new congress after next
March 4, was made by Senator
Edge, republican of New Jersey, who
called on President Coolidge for a
brief conference.
“I recognize many inequalities in
the tax reduction law passed at the
last session,” Senator Edge said, ‘‘but.
of the two evils, the present law or
a summer congress, the former seems
preferable. Let’s give business an
opportunity to exist.”
