An alliance of the oponents of
Hoover has been formed at Kan
saS City. 1t is a defensive alli-
ance. At it's head is Louis Emmer-
son of Illinois, who speaks for
Lowden 1t includes, as we'll, the
supporters of Curtis and Golf and
the Hoover delegates from
Ohio. In the van ride the dele
gates from Indiana.
The reasons animating this al
lance are evident. Mr.. Hoover is
going into the convention with al
most enough delegates to get the
nomination at the first ballot.
Any serious detection from the
ranks of his opponents will insure
his success. Accordingly, their
only hope lies in an ironclad
agreement to hang together until
Hoover is eliminated.
In such a finish fight between
Hoover and the anti-Hoover allies
all the moral advantage lies With
Hoover. He will have that adj
vantage because Of the presence

the term to describe many condi-
tons which are distinguished by
physicians as different disorders.
For instance. any irritation Of
the nose and throat with the dis
charge Of some fluid is called by
the layman a common cold, but
the physician may distinguish it as
an infection of the sinuses, a
symptom of grip or influenza. the

merely a general infection Of the

1t is hard to see how President
Coolidge has done himself or his
party any good. Admitting that he
is in position to determine the
nominee, there are reasons for be-
lieving that he has made his own
nomination undesirable, if not
dangerous.
He has embarrassed his friends
quite as much as he has irritated
his enemies. Those who have given
his administration loyal support
find thmselves without word of en-
couragement or commentator
while those who thought they had
a right to depend on him are cold
ly ignored.
If President Coolidge is as popular
with the Republican party as he
was six months ago, human nature
must have undergone an uneX-
pected and complete revolution.

Where is the town Ensenado? Is
it a manufacturing town? What IS
its population?
Ensenado is a port of Mexico, in
the northern district of the terri
tory of Lower California, of which it
is the capital. It is situated on the
bay of Todo Los Santos, which
affords a rather poor harbor. Its
manufactures consist of leather
flour, candy, low-grade shoes, and
some vehicles, mainly consumed by
local trade. 1t has population Of
5000.
Why do dogs turn around before
they lie down?
Early in the history of the ami
NAL kingdom when the ancestors of
domestic dog were wild, they slept
in the woods or open. When they
were ready to lie down, they first
had to trample the grass about
them fiat to make place to lie.
This fixed habit became one of the
instincts inherent in dogs even to-
day.

FIRM OF
[S;;;S115sN4.elE@aSSs@ASS

One of the best known and GER
tainly the oldest and most durable
Of the firms operating on the cauli-
flower market is that of Britton E.
Morgan.
There have been more broadly
advertised firms like kearns and
Dempsey and some that ante-dated
the million-dollar days Of the bust
ness, but they all split up while the
former welterweight champion of
the world and dumb DAM have
ben going for twenty years and are
still going.
The story Of how they became
partners may be interesting as it
produces some evidence that there
still may be such a thing as graft
tude in the racket.
Twenty years ago Britton was
fighting around Philadelphia and he
was pal of an older and at that
time more successful fighter who
called himself Young Kid Broad.
Broad got an offer of $40 to fight
in New York and he took Britton
along with him. The Kid was treat
ed roughly in his bout, but he was
satisfied with the twenty bucks and
they decided to remain in New York
and see the town as neither had been
there before.
They got a room on Second
avenue near 14th street, paid three
days in advance and started out to
see the sights. Fourteenth street
was then the bright-light district
and they were walking along the
street taking in all the sights.

ing Of the coming season.
In spite Of the glowing reports OF
the Yankee slugger's Condition, his
ardor for golf and duck hunting
IT develops that the big fellow has
neglected the gymnasium training
that he credited with putting him
back on his feet after his famous
1925 collapse, and also with putting
him in shape for his record 1927
home run campaign.
Ruth. down close to normal play
ing weight, may consider his activ-
tiles with the shotgun and niblick
enough to keep in condition, but his
Trainer, Artie McGovern, is a bit
skeptical.
Has Failed So Far
Several weeks ago the Babe pro-
claimed to all within hearing that
he was about to knuckle down to
hard work for several weeks, TAX
ing systematic exercise designed to
send him south in top trim.
Even last year / got off little
slow" the Babe explained. II hit
only four homers in April. I'm not
going to overlook any bets this sea-
son. Put me down that I'll be in
shape to start off at a faster
clip"
But the Bambino hasn't knucklcd
down to any rigorous work of the
sort he stuck to last winter. He
poohs-poohs any suggestion that
he needs much of it or that he is
growing careless but baseball alley
is beginning to shake it's head and
wonder whether it was a good idea,
after all, when the Yankees signed
Babe to three-year contract. With
Ruth assured his $4,000 for 1928
and 1929, the experts see the posi-

of trip up the river for about three
years.
One Of the keepers in the Tombs
heard their story and went to Dan
Morgan, who was then a district
Tammy man, but had not been as
ISOLATED with the fighting racket.
Morgan had the charges reduced to
disorderly conduct and they were
fined $40 each. Broad had enough
to pay himself out, but he didn't
have any left for Britton.
Broad tried for two days to dig
up the money while Britton cooled
in the Tombs and when he failed he
went back to Morgan. Morgan gave
him fine calling, but went down
and bought Britton out.
Morgan then told them to get
back to Philadeluhia as quick as
they could and stay there forever,
and they went back.
Some time later Britton got back
in New York and needing a man.
ager he persuaded Morgan to give
up politics ana take him.
They have been together ever
since. Britton saved his money and
could have retired years ago, but
hard times fell on Morgan and it is
q known fact to intimates that Brit
ton kept on fighting principally to
get a cut for the man who had be-
frended him when he didn't have a
friend.
Britton is still fighting-the won
der of the ring-and while it is said
that he lost all his money in Florida
his friends doubt it and believe he
is still working for the firm.

Boxing AbhOrred by
Older Japs Appeals
to Nipp0nese Youth

Tokyo, Jan. 27.-(AP)-Thc art
of mauling, as practiced in the
squared circle, is somewhat new to
Japan, where fisticuffs have always
been considered undignified and dis
graceful, but the younger Japanese
are taking up boxing enthusiasts
tically.
Japan will send her first boxing
champion to the Amsterdam Olym-
pic Games this year.
Before the introduction of boxing
in Japan, the placing Of ones hand
on another's body was considered
a great offense. A reply with the
sword or knife was usually forth
coming. Even now, in boxing tour
naments at the universities, the
foreigner will observe that the win
ming slugger always hesitatcs to
knock out his groggy opponent.
When boxer lands a wicked blow
he instinctively bows his head as a
sign Of apology.
