CLUB HEARS CORBETT James J.

Corbett, former world's heavyweight champion, addressed the weekly luncheon meeting of the Flushing Kiwanls Club yesterday on the "Psychology of Sportsmanship." The meeting was held in the dining room of the Flushing branch of the Y. M. C. A. "The man who wins is the fellow that thinks he can win," said Corbett.

Sullivan that won for him the world's cided stand against carnivals In the Kockaways tills summer, the hoe pitals face the loss of considerable revenue derived each year by means ol the carnivals, Mr. Powers said. Inasmuch as much of the hospl tal's expense is caused each year by the care of charity patients, the directors of the chamber contend that the city had a direct respon sibility in regard to the hospitals, Mr, Powers said. The city pays the hospitals $3 per day for the care of charity or city patients, but the cost per patient is $6.75, he added.

The care of those patients causes the major portion of the hospital's deficit. Powers says, i The directors of the chamber be lieve that when the city considers the unusual nature of the hospitals In the Rockaways, means will be found to permit the city to bear a more equitable share of its Just burden," Powers said.

One of these was sponsored by the Catholic Big Sisters organization of Queens and the other by Temple Beth-El of Rockaway Park and both were reputed to be protected by injunctions issued by othev Supreme Court Justices. When Ferrettl and his men visited the latter two carnivals they found them already closed.

Halesite Dock Fisht Fails to Materialize Huntington, L.

I July 12 The expected scrap over the leasing of shore fsont property at Halesite to the Marine Oil Company did net Eastern Star Members Play i -n mr. rsacon subbcsus monf inr contract WOiK inClUUC turn, luo laui "to be used in the performance of the work shall be citizen labor and that it be the policy of the War Department to have contractors on construction work give preference to ex-service men and citizens of the State or locality where the work is to be performed. He said: Would Cost More "The adoption of such a clause' would merely tie In, as part of the specifications, the requirement that citizen labor shall be used where possible; the preference to ex-serv ice men would be merely declaratory nolicy. but I believe it would be effective. 1 "The practitcal effect, I feel sure, would be that contractors in sub mitting their bids would have in mind the employment of citizen local labor.

The cost to tne uniiea States would of course be greater, but the advantages to the public and to American labor directly ef-' fected, and In meeting properly the unemployment problem would greatly outweight the pecuniary disadvantage." Would Bring Relief Mr. Bacon points out that if citizen labor was used at Mitchel Field many jobless skilled and unskilled Long Island workmen would find work to do. The Long Island unemployment situation would be relieved, he believes. Several Long Island villages have considered action to substitute local citizen labor for aliens imported from New York.
