Tom Mix Mixes MitS at
Party With Stage Star
Wife of Actor Gets Black
Eye; Principals HurI
Challenges.
BY GEORGE H. BEALE
UNITED Press Stan Correspondent


HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 20.-If a lot
of violent words mean anything,
Terrible" Tom Mix and Weaving"
Will Morrissey will battle to fin
ish some time this week for the un-
diputed middleweight championship
of Hollywood.
Recounting their weekend fistic
encounter at the housewarming
party of George Beban, the actor,
Mix and MorrisSey said a lot of
mean things about each other to-
day.
I'D consider myself totally UNI
occupied" Mix said, eff had moth
ing to do except whip Will Norris
sey before breakfast each morning.
I'll fight him anywhere, any time
for any stake"
To which Morrissey of interna-
tional musical comedy fame, re-
torted: "Take that cowpuncher
away from his boots and I'll teach
him a few things about boxing"
Wife Gets Black Eye
Nothing was said, about or by
"Nidgie" Miller, Morrissey's diminu-
tive wife, who suffered the greatest
casualties.
The stories don't coincide in en-
tirety but this is the composite.
1t seems that both had finished
the dinner and the nineteenth hole
courses at Beban's house warming,
and the>talk turned to the talkies.
Tom" said Weaving Will, what
are you going to do when they
make all the movies with talking
words? Your horse Tony photo
graphs pretty we'll and I guess I'd
rather hear him snort than hear
you talk"
One word led to another and soon
Mix and Morrissey were sneaking
punches at each other on the front
lawn about 3 a. m.
The accounts of the principals
differ from there on. Mix commended
he knocked Morrissey down and
Morrissey claimed he knocked Mix
down.
In the middle of the scrap Mrs.
Morrissey, otherwise ''Nlidgie" Miller,
got struck in the eye and the eye
turned black and both Mix and
Morrissey claim the other struck
her.
Taken for a Sap"
Morrissey said that while he was
down Mix kicked him with his
high-heeled cowboy boots, while Mix
said 'Morrissey probably thought
my fists we're boots and they
lamped him when he was on his
feet"
Mix returned home to Tony and
the MorTisseys went to the police
station to turn in a complaint
against Mix. But police decided to
hold them for intoxication.
Il am not much of a social sue
cess anyhow. stood first on one
foot and then on the other. Some
one always takes me for a sap.
That's what Morrissey did. He kept
picking on me all evening. He kept
following me around and wanting
a fight. At last he took a sock at
me and that's more than any man
has to take. I knocked him down
and he skidded along the sidewalk
quite ways"

Sometimes these charges meet with
disfavor and considerable opposition.
In such a case curtailment Is advisa-
bic until the majority shall be willing
to bear the additional expenses The
various items of expense may be cited
to the members and they may be al
lowed to eliminate those which are
least popular or desired by them.

you're going to be sorry some day for
your dirty ways. Mark what I'm tell

and behind your ears. Mercy. goodness !
Why are you SO dirty? Why do you
hate soap?"
I was interested In this dramatic in
cident. Peter looked very much dis
turbed and angry into the bargain.
Mother was plainly in earnest. Peter
was quite boy. Why didn't he wash
himself?
The washbasin told the story You
would not like to wash your hands In a
basin that was gray with the marks Of
previous washings, whose top and sides
were splaShed with the traces of grimy
blobS of bygone soap suds. You wouldn't
be attracted to basin whose faucets
stood like asthmatic tubes and kept up
constant sputtering and dribbling.
And the soap! The soap was worse
than everything. 1t was bit OF home

I'm undertaking this story, not exag-
gerating 1t one bit.
Why don't you give Peter a nice
place to wash his hands?" said l.
Why? Because he's as dirty as a
pig. You can't let that boy use the
bathroom basin. He never washes his
hands until they are too awful for the
rest of us TO stand. He just dips his
hands In the water and then shakes
them up and down, wipes them on a
perfectly clean towel that Is ruined for
ever after. A nice place indeed! Just
