SUPERVISED BOXING

Lament as we may the fact that pugilism is
brutal and savage, denounce it as a throwback to
early ancestry the fact remains that within the past
few years it has become recognized very popular
form of sport
The heavy weight champion is better paid than
a President and has more admirers He really ex-
cites interest.
The people, and this does not mean low
browed mob, but the most prominent leaders of
business industry, finance and the professions, pay
extravagant sums to these contests.
This may be an unfortunate situation and per-
haps the law should strictly outlaw any exhibition
between two men with padded gloves. But the truth
is that vast and growing proportion of the public
sees no evil and does find great deal of interest in
these contests.
The Government itself is probably responsible
for this increase of interest for the Government &C
tually forced the young Of this Nation when
it rudely grabbed them from their homes to defend
the principle of democracy, to become somewhat ex
pert in boxing and pugilism.
1t made part of the military training of these
soldiers a certain adeptness in self-defense
1t is not to be expected, perhaps not to be de.
sired that having forced this viewpoint of boxing
upon the young men who are now solid citizens
that they would Immediately turn to moral or
esthetic repugnance for it when they left the army
This State has laws prohibiting prize fighting
passed when there organized drive to secure
such laws the theory that spectacles of this
brutal and brutalizng.
AS matter of fact, the heavy weight champion
ship fights are probably less rough than football
game or some other form of popular sports.
But while the laws have existed for years, they
have been notable largely for their violation or
evasion. Clubs have INDUCED in this form of en-.
tertainment of their members. The colleges have
contests of this sort They have been put on for
profit under conditions that have not always been
the best. They form very strong attraction to
army rosts during the summers
If we were less hypocritical in our laws we
would probably recognize this popular interest and
some Of the more patent facts, and permit contests
of this sort under regulation and supervision that
would guarantee conditions that are not harmful
The swift killing of measure to provide for
State commission of this Sort which would prevent
some Of the abuses and still permit contests of this
sort, suggests that the lawmakers acted upon ira
ditonal prejudice rather than facts The Legislature
VIII probably pass many laws which are less useful
and more harmful than this one

SOMETHING FOR SCIENCE TO
TACKLE
BY N. ID. Cochran

OF all the hundreds of millions of human beinrs
now on earth and the billions who have passed on, no
TWO individuals ever were exactly alike
There may be striking resemblance between
twins but there is always difference. There may be
family traits common to brothers and sisters but
there differences temperament and disposition as
striking as those between children entirely different
parents.
Biologists tel! whole lot about that but even
tne psychologists who study the human mind haven't
yet satisfactorily explained why it that of US
seems to have natural and ovrepowering urge to
make others think and behave as he does
When the scientists get around 70 that problem
ana solve 1t there will be less unha ppiness in the world
Much of the unhappness common to married life is
due to the fact that neither fully satisfied with the
other Wanting his wife to be perfect, the husband
thinks that the more nearly she thinks as he thinks
peueves as he believes and behaves he behaves the
more nearly she will approach perfection Which
means OF course that he thinks he is about the
est thing to perfection he knows Of And it works the
otner way around, too Each tries make the other
perfect, and neither ever succeeds
Some people can't stop with their legal mates
lhey get busy trying to reform or make over other
people They stick their into other peoples bust
ness and become unpopular busybodies Often they
get together in groups and try reform other
IL other people don't do as the busybodies want them
to do the busybodies get passed so thew can call
out the police to make the other people mind
Even the law once recognized the right of a hus-
band to beat his wife If she didn't recognize his
superior wisdom and do as he told her to do But we
nave come 10 think that is brutal so we punish wife.
heaters bad citizens Wives still have the nrivlaoa
OF killing husbands in some sections of the country
but Wen probably get away from that in time
But we still think it is legal, and therefore moral
Tor rathers and mothers to beat up their children to
make them mind; and in some States we turn the
job over to school teachers.
1t is easier to make child mind by beating him
than 1t is to take the time teach him the error Of
ms ways by rational argument. That's why some liz.
norant parents whip their children. And it seems IA
be easier to make whole groups of people mind by
passing law than 1t is. to change bad habits by edu
cational methods.
But why is it that so many Of get SO much of a
KICK out of doing something to somebody and invara
bly, doing something that they don't want done to
them? ~
you never knew child that enjoyed being made

they ought to be good
Macauley once said that the English Puritans op.
posed bearbatng not because of the pain it gave the
pear but because Of the pleasure it gave the speca

enjoy seeing others suffer and who others
happy.

Secrets in Desert

In New Mexico the youngest civ
illzation of North America is con-
stantly lnearthinG relics and me-
mentoes of what may be the oldest.
Pottery has been dug up that had
been nodded and baked four. five
or perhaps ten thousand years ago.
What kind of hand did the trick?
What kind Of a brain conceived the
design?
What more mysterious than that,
what supported a large population
where the resent generation would
find it difficult, if not impossible, to
get along without railroads. good
highways and fivvers? A savant
estimates as many as 10000, 600 per-
sons once lived in what is now New
Mexico, Arizona and west Texas.
IF this is true. or anything like
it is true, the desert holds other Sc
crets than the minerals it conceals.

Romance of Past

One does not have to consult I'M
written history to find a romantic
past for New Mexico.
Before King James had ever placed
his mark on a New England tree,
the conquistadore and padre had led
their ,trustful followers into this
desoiste waste.
Probably one-half of the present
population of New Mexico Is OF
Spanish descent, and can trace its
lineage through native stock as far
back as can most New Englanders
or Virginians.
Seventy.five years ago dozen
sristocratic families ruled the land,
with the humber folk glad to be
classed as their retainers.
What has happened to the de-
scendants of that proud. undemo-
cratic regime forms one Of the tragic
pictures in the march Of civilization.
The INSCRIPTIONS politician has
stepped in where the Don left off,
and the pliable peon has become a
bossed voter instead of a wiling
servant.
There are communities In New
Mexico where the stranger needs
to know Spanish. and where the
party leader who can speak it has q
distinct advantage.

Hodges first appearance before

made his initial bow as an actor in
a little Pennsylvania town near
Pittsburgh, and all his early thespian
wanderings were confined to the
most obscure one-n,ght stands in
Pennsylvania and New York State.
He learned his first lessons in
small repertory companies and final

he dignified with the pretentions

When he finally did reach the
white lights OF Broadway for the first
time it was as typical stage Irish

Later he played the part of fire

Deny Link to Mexico

Paradoxical as it may seem. the
Mexican situation strikes no great
chord of dissonance in New Mexico.
This arises from the fact that
those Of Spanish descent deny con-
nection with Mexico. though their
ancestors may have migrated from
that country.
They call themselves Spanish
Americans and while they cling to
their racial traditions. it is as
descendants of the old world. not the
new.
There is among them very little OF
that radicalism, irreligion and
revolut 'onary spirit which have
marked the life OF Mexico. especially
during the last ten years.

Missing Card Does Not
Affect Deal if 1t Is
Found,
BY MILTON G. WORK

Inc pointer Tor today is:
A missing card does not throw ont
deal if the card can be found,
Many questions come to HAND AK
ing what happens when 1t is dfscoY-
cred that a player has the wrong
number of cards. Unfortunately this
incident occurs all too frequently,
even at tables where the standard
Of play is well above the average, so
it is important to understand the
provisions of the Laws which cover
every such case.
When one player is short and all
the other players have the correct
number of cards, the missing card
must be found IL possible. The still
pack should be searched for 1t, and
the quilted tricks should be examined
face downward to see whether any
contains more than four cards. If
the missing card cannot be found
among the other cards, it should be
searched for in any place where it
is likely to be. When the missing
card is found, it is restored to the
player who is short, the deal stands,
and the play continues regularly
from that point. When the error is
not discovered until the last trick,
the missing card when found is
played on it. If the player who was
short has refused the suit of the
missing card, he is liable for all rel
vokes just as if the card had been
in his hand all the while, but Dummy
&c IN IA "
If the missing card cannot be
found, there must be new deal by
the same Dealer with a perfect pack.
When quilted trick is found to
have too many cards, an opponent of
| the short player faces the trick and
selects the card to be restored to him;
but the ownership Of the trick is not
changed. If it be possible that the
missing card, wherever found, was
a part of the pack when last dealt,
the short player must accept it and
become liable for revoke as above.
When one player is long and
another short, whether or not these
players be partners, there must be
new deal by the same Dealer with
btiO SdAllB pIChs IL I'LL &C pay els
have their correct number and one
player be long as a result of omit
ting to play to a trick, the adver-
saries of the player who is long elect
whether or not the deal shall stand;
and if it stand, the card remaining
over at the end OF the hand is sup
posed to have been played to the i'm
perfect trick but 1t does not consti-
| tute a revoke therein, or affect the
ownership thereof, If the pack be
found to contain more than fifty-two
cards, there must be a new deal by
the same Dealer with a correct deck.

Political Division

Those familiar with the political
situation say that three-fourths of
the Spanish population of New
Mexico are Republicans, while about
the same proportions of Anglo
Saxons are Democrats. There are
several explanations for such line
up. To begin with a majority of
the Anglo.Saxons came from
southern states. Added to that, the
Latin mind turns to patronage. just
as a duck turns TO water, and the
Republicans have been in control of
Federal patronage most OF the time
since New Mexico has been admitted
as a State.
