That statement calls for some
explanation and must not be taken
with i grain Of salt nor considered
Is my honest belief that 4 am hit
ffn1 harder with my right hand
today than ever before in my life.
when l first entered the ring,
nv hands were normal for d man Of
my size and weight of about 160
pounds. The thought Of bad hands
never entered my mind and /
punched with freedom and abandon.
A result the first fifteen men
faced were Knockout victims.
There was no question OF the power
behind the blows which ended those
contests. When q boxer falls for
ward on his face after being hit.
the man who put him there is
puncher. He needs no other recon.
naendatiOn.
But my hands were not rugged
enough to stand up under the
weight OF my punches as my body
crew In size, and strength increased.
The first sign was an inflammation
around the knucLle bones, then
swelling on the backs of the hands
Medical men told me then that in
addition to fractures in both hands,
Was suffering from peristitis, an
tnfIamed condition of the periosteum,
the thin, skin-like covering of the
bones. The fractures could be re
paired, they said, but the inflama.
tion must heal itself and probably
would take years to clear up.

the periostitis and the fractures.
When 1 opposed Jack Dempsey for
the championship in Philadelpnia
two years ago, my hands were az
strong az they could be.
In nay mind, however. was the
sngrained conviction that my hands
were weak, that | could not take
too many chances for fear of
breaking them again and sacrificing
all chance at the heavyweight title
Jnatinetiyely my punching was eau
tious.

lively long layoff, only one match
since the Dempsey bout in 1925,
has strengthened my hands TO such
an extent that even the instructive
reservation is gone. My heavy
punching bag never before has
taken the punishment that has been
thrown its way lately.

Feminine calves and ankles VIII con-
tinue to be much in evidence and their
contours will still be a subject OF grave
concern to their owners
To be considered beautiful the leg
must taper gently down to the ankle
which is its narrowest circumference
If the ankle measures 7l2 inches on
inches the calf should be 13 or 1874
inches. or course. immature girls In
their early teens and women who are
excessively thin have calves that are
not much larger than their ankles. but
in the ideal feminine figure the differ
ence should be about inches between
the widest and the smallest part Of the
lower leg.
One rather common type of leg that
falls short of the ideal is the one with
a fat ankle. The flesh appears TO be
swollen and puffs out over the top OF
the shoe or between the straps OF the
slipper. This ugly, bloated look may
be removed by discarding tight shoes
that impede the circulation and thus
cause the swelling Usually the woman
who has this sort Of legs is overweight
She should try TO lose weight by dieting
and at the same time reducing the
swollen limbs by soaking them in a
solution of epson salts. Use about two
tablespoonfuis Of the salts TO foot
