BOXER Rs TRAINING
At THE ARMQRy
EACH AF TERNOON

All previous doubts, if any ex-
listed as to the quality Of the Tay-
lor-Hagan bout have vanished.
Taylor worked out at the Armory
yesterday afternoon from o'clock
until 4, and showed condition that
none but a seasoned fighter could
have and finished his training for
the day feeling "bullie," as he put
1t.
Hagen worked from 4 until 5
o'clock and his wonderful develop
ment and action made a great i'm
preston on the few fans, who were
fortunate enough to learn that the
men were going to train at the
Armory.
At first sight. in street clothes,
Hagen would be taken for any
thing but a fighter, but in his gym
suit, one finds him a clean limbed
athlete, showing years of training
and good living. He does not look
to be over % years of age.
Hagen and Taylor, like Walter
Caldwell, the Albuquerque favorite,
have no cauliflower ears, despite
their long ring experience and all
three claim that it is due to the
fact that they do their hitting in
stead of letting their opponents
muss them up. This being true
the fans should see a very fast
bout at the ArmOry, April 5, when

Communication
To the Editor,

Cambridge, Md,
Dear Sir
Som etime ago in your office you
asked me if l would not write some
thing for your paper in reference TO
our Farmers Association.
Increased duties, brought on by
labor conditions, have prevented me
from giving this subject my con-
sideration. The first Tomato
Growers Association was held in your
beautiful City and the good seed
sown by these wide-aWake farmers
were distributed to the farmers OF
E. N. Market, Hurlock and Vienna,
and today we have four Associations
in our County and we cannot say too
much in praise for the good that, has
been accomplished through the eff
forts of these men.
Eighty representative farmers OF
these Associations met in Hurlock
discussed and unanimously decided
to form County wide Association,
in my judgment the home Office OF
the Association should be in the
place where the first Association was
organized and l thing the President
should be selected from one of the
originators of the Association.
When we organize this Countrywide
Association we should appoint our
selves a committee of one to go to
our neighbors and ask him to join;
the Association needs him, and he
need the Association. l think this
Association should have g cooper
alive Seed, Phosphate and Hard
ware Store where we could purchase
those things direct and cut out the
middle mans profits which often are
33 1-3 per cent. Our farmers
could leave a sample of their grains
and other products at our store and

should be in this store and be our

The rent of his Office could be applied
toward paving our rent and could

New Shaw Play
Says Much, but
Takes Its II Time
''Heartbreak House, at the
Carrick Contains Brilliant
Scenes, but Its Intent
Is Somewhat Overcast
THE CAST
By Haywood Broun

Unfortunately rapier is nothing like
a battle-ax There must be many -four
shcs and much sword play before a
thrust is made. Some Of Shaw's shrewd-
est and most brilliant strokes are in
"Hearbreak House," but there is also a
fearful lot of mere gymnastics. Feints
are 50 numerous that it is difficult not
to become confused and lose track of
the intent. Having even more than
usual to say, Shaw has taken at least
twice as long to say it. He is not guilt
less this time Of n disposition to turn
aside now and again for no better pur-
pose than to show off. We like the
needle, but we could dispense with the
haystack.
The production of "Ieartbrcak
House" the world premier, made by the
Theater Guild at the Galrck Tneater
newest Shaw play is o piece of sporadic
brilliance with tedious interudes. 1t
seems long partly from the fact that
through mere force of habit the thea
tergoer's attention has become trained
to accept a certain duration OF time as
conventional and anything above that
as long winded. But in addition to
this "Heartbreak House" actually is
long winded. 1t would seem a long
play, we think, in Heaven
Its quality of confusion depends
both on its length and it's BREADTH
Many themes are introduced, and some
are promptly cast aside, while others
persist. Even with the help of one Of
Shaw's best prefaces, there is difficulty
in deciding just which goal it was at
which Shaw aimed. II may be that he

Manhattan Naval Post
Wants Returned Bonus
Fund Administered by
Committee of Veterans
Unit Does Not Believe
State Should Handle
Money Thus Given for
the Sick and Disabled

A new suggestion as to what dlspo-
sition shall be made of all state bo
muses. contributed TO a fund for wound
ed and disabled by those veterans who
do not feel they need theirs has been
made by the Manhattan Naval Post and
is gaining much favor among members
of the American Legion.
Harold NJ. Schwab is the commander
of the Manhattan Naval Post. one OF
the most progressive units Of the I.e
gon. He and his associates do not
feel that the present law governing the
distribution of such fund is compre
hensive, or stable enough. This law
provides that. should veterans not IN
reed turn back their bonuses. a fund
shall be created and the money shall
be disburscd for the relief Of the
wounded and disabled and their de-
pendents who are in need. A commits
sion would be appointed to distribute
the money.
The Manhattan Naval Post does not
believe the state should be empowered
to handle the fund. Its members in
Sis. that veterans know best what their
comrades need and that. therefore, vet
Grams should administer the money.
Hence the following resolution, passed
at 4 recent meceing Of the post:
"Resolved, that Manhattan Naval
Fost 33S recommends and strongly
urges the formation Of committee
within the Legion, whose duty it shall
be to receive money donated by those
not needful of the bonus recently
voted ex-service men and women in
this state and to administer the fund
thus created 20 the best interests and
welfare Of those Of our comrades who
were wounded and disabled in battle
and are deserving cf assis.ance.'
