MY GREATEST THRILL
GIVEN BY DEMPSEY
You get lots of thrills in the fight
game. At least, I do. But the great
est one? That’s easy.
It was in Toledo the afternoon I
championship. But it didn’t come
when the referee stepped to the mid
dle of the ring and held up my hand
at the end of the fight, no, sir!
You see, when I fought Jess I didn’t
know how, good he was. And I didn’t
know how he would take my punch
es. I knew I could hit, all right, but
he was such a big fellow I was a bit
worried that he wouldn’t come down.
So I was a bit nervous when I went
into the scrap, and I came out of my
corner swinging both fists. I hit him
twice and he didn’t seem to tumble,
but the third time I let him have it
he dropped like an ox. And right
there, when I saw him on the floor
and the referee counting, came the
biggest thrill I ever had.
For I had dropped Willard. And
right then and there I knew that I
had the championship in my grasp.
Believe me, that was a big moment—
and there wasn’t a single man in that
whole perspiring, yelling mob who
was one half so thrilled as I was when
Jess hit the canvas the first time.

LEARN TO LOVE LIKE SCIENCE,
PLEA OF NOTED SCIENTIST;
SYSTEM OF ANCIENTS LAUDED
NEW YORK, Dec. 3—That 80
per cent, of American men marry
another man’s wife was the indict
ment hurled at the counrty by Dr.
Orlande Edgar Miller, President of
the International Society of Applied
Psychology, in a lecture here.
Charging that in the average
home there exists no unity of in
terests, no sympathy, no content
ment, Dr. Miller denounced the av
erage man as a matrimonial misfit
due only to the fact that he is
mismated.
Eight out of every 10 couples
are sure they would be better off
out of the bonds of matrimony than
in, it was alleged. All of this is'
because they have never learned
to love scientifically; because men
have married other men’s wives;
have led to the altar women meant
for somebody else in the general
scheme of life.
“In the science of loving—not
making love, mind you, we have
not progressed one inch in 5,000
years,” Dr. Miller declared.
“A man falls in love with a girl
because she has a pretty face. He
does not inquire into her physical
health nor her mental processes.
He thinks she is the most wonderful
creature in the world because she
wears a certain hat well. He mar
ries her.
“Soon he discovers that she has
a violent temper, that she is not
so beautiful as he thought, that
she in no way compliments him
for making a perfect home. It is
too late. They are unhappy and
miserable. Perhaps a divorce is
the only outcome.
“That man married somebody
else’s wife. He captured a girl
who might have found the man for
whom she was intended. Her hus
band stole her from society.
Training men and women to love
and select their mates with rea
son and precision such as a scien
tist selects materials for an ex
periment might do much to relieve
the situation and reduce o a great
extent the appalling percentage of
matrimonial ships which go to
pieces on the rocks of discord, ac
cording to Dr. Miller.
“The trouble is with out edu
cational system, a system moss
covered and worm-eaten,” Dr. Miller
explained. “Boys and girls are taught
everything except the only important
thing in life—how to live. They come
out of school with their heads full
of other people’s inconsequental
thoughts which in later years proves
disastrous.”

HOWELL-BARKLEY BILL
DOOMED, SAYS SENATOR
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—De
feat of the Howell-Barkley bill, pro
posing abolishment of the railroad
labor board, unless it is greatly mod
ified, was predicted today by Senator
Watson, republican, Indiana, after a
conference with President Coolidge.
Senator Watson said the thirty
minute discussion with the president
was devoted entirely to the question
of railroad legislation. He expressed
the hope that the rail consolidation
plan supported by the president
would go through on a voluntary
basis, but declared that if necessary
the consolidation should be brought
about by compulsion.
