to the library and searched eagerly
through the back issues of the local

At last I found the item for which I
was in search. 1t was the shortest pos
sible notice in the accident column,
headed with these significant words:

The paragraph read as follows

One mother says.
My baby girl used to get up from
her afternoon maps cross and fretful
on hot Summer days and only added
to her discomfort by dressing her up in
freshly starched clothes. The rest of
the afternoon she made both herself
and me miserable by her continuous
whining. One day I decided to try
new tactics, so as soon as she had
awakened, 1 got her little pan of cool
water and a clean cloth and turned
her loose with it In the bathroom,
where the floor was easy to mop up.
and allowed her to play for an hour.
BY that time she was cool and In good
humor to be dressed in her pretty
frocks.

 Generals Hsu shung-Chi and Chan Han-Yu asserted their coun- cry was powerless to offer resistence and that Japan without doubt could overrun Shantung if she wished to do so. They expressed the belief that the United States and other countries that signed the nine power treaty should intervene on behalf of the Chinese and said they had little hope in the ability of the League Of Nations to settle the controversy.

JACK DELANEY IS
 BROKEN HEARTED
Bridgeport Fighter Worried Over
 Improved Accusations

Bridgeport. May 12-Jack De- fancy. broken in spirit and greatly worried over the unproven accua- tions anent his bout with Jack Shar- key, is no longer the idol of this city. His friends. former friends, no longer talk of Jack as one of them, though they do not say he was a bag fighter. but do believe that his ways of training were not of the best.
 Delaney's easy way of training coupled with reports of bad boy" friends as playmates, have not help ed him stay in the hearts of citizens of Bridgeport and they arc keenly disappointed in the boxer.
 Looking back over the rise of De- laney. from the time that he worked in a Lake torpedo shop here through his early days in the ring, as he broke into the boxing racket, replac- ed Lou Bogash. a native son and idol. though Delaney is an adopted son, and then his romance-the girl who later became his wife-all play a part in the Delaney case.
 Jack, always looked upon as a wild but good d-natured lad, became steady, good man, all through the atmosphere of a loving wife, who loved him from the start. He chang ed from an ambitionless fighter to one of the best punchers and most colorful boxers in the racket. He became steady. quiet. yet q cham- pion and contender for greater fame in the sport.
 Through the efforts Of his wife he Was kept in good company, his earn- ings were taken care of and a bank roll soon piled up. In short, she be- came his inspiration and a great ambition to gain and win greater honors overlook him.
 But when ill-health overlook his wife. friends of the former cham pion lay that fact down that it is the big reason why Jack is not the fighter of former days. When he fought Jim Maloney sho lay at the point of death in a New York hos pital. After that bout Delaney rush ed to the hospital. not even waiting to hear the decision. She rallied and the effect on Jack was that he rip ped through to three kayo victories over heavyweights.
 Again Mrs Delaney was taken Ill and again Jacks fighting took a ter rifle slump and today his wife. 1t is understood, fights losing battle. His training for the Sharkey bout shows the effect the illness of his wife held upon him. He soon fell into company of his former dayN when he was a second rater. But seven actual training days did he put in at his gym.
 Jack has remained in seclusion, and various reports say his con- science bothers him, but others be- Have 1t broken heart. He is q mixer and would rather be out with the bunch" but Bridgeport singular or plural, has not set eyes on him since he returned.

Maybe We're Wrong
By E. L. Cord

Auburn has built its success by not understanding the public's intelli. gence. That is why we are going to lay our cards on the table face up and explain what our hardest job is today. It is not to design more advanced cars that is easy.
 It is not fnances-few are as strong as Auburn today.
 It is not modern factories-no com. petitor excels Auburn in this respect. It is not to build better cars, more en- during cars and sell them for less cost we DO it.
 BUT IT IS TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE IT. THAT IS OUR HARDEST JOB!
 Not that we blame many admirable people for asking, How CAN Auburn do it! We know exactly why they take that attitude, but we do not know exactly how to answer it.
 Sincere people ask that question, with. out realizing that they do not know suhat Auburn is building, and have never driVen the new Auburn. They assume in advance that the car they have preference for is better. Maybe
