the delegates Of the chapter to the
annual convention of the District of
Columbia Department at the beginning
of June should be named by Chapter
Comdr. Richard Melton rather than
be elected by the meeting, as the
chapter is determined to have its full
voting strength at the convention, and
1t was desired to select only those men
who will surely be present.
Because of increased membership the
D. A. v. delegation from Washington
to the national convention at Detroit
the last week in June will be the largest
that has ever represented the units
here in the annual gathering.
The exact date of the departure of
the delegation from here has not yet
been decided upon, but plans are under
way whereby the men from Washington
will travel westward with the dele
gates from Maryland and Virginia, and
it is hoped to so arrange matters that
the groups from New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut. travelling as one
party, will be met on the way to Mich
igan.
Volney P. Mooney, national judge
advocate of the D. A. ", returned to
his home in Los Angeles during the
past week, after having come to Wash
ington as a member of the legal coun-
Gil of the Veterans Bureau.
This council was appointed by the
American Bar Association at the Sug
geStion of the d. A. V. after the guard
ianship investigation of three years ago.
and in the recent three-day meeting
here brought forth several recommen-
dations to the Veterans Bureau to meet
legal problems that are facing that
Government agency.
The council recommended to the
director that special board be set up
to pass Judgment on all insurance cases
where suit is entered by veterans, and
it is expected tat these reviews will

the courts and speed up decisions on
the matters of the total and permanent

Pacho Winnar

Robert Pacho kept the old slate
clean last night, and won decisive
II over Rib Frazier, last of the well
known Fraziers of Frazierville,
Fraziersylvania.
Rib is a lanky colored boy who
looked in the first round as though
he could knock plenty of holes in
the Yuma boys hitherto spetless
record. He was fast and shifty,
and seemed to have a punch. I'm
like many writer's, we hate to ac-
cuse any boy Of having the old
cavalry stripe down his spine, but
after the third round Rib didn't ap.
pear any too anxious to fight. At
times he was just plum set on get
ting as far away from Sir Robert
as he could.
And Robert didn't by two and
one-half miles put up the kind of Il
fight that he can. He was wrap
ping blows all around Rib S neck,
misiudging distance worse than
some of these FLYERS misjudge the
distance across the Atlantic. The
only alibi we can suggest is the
new floor in the ring, slippery as an
eel's tunhmy after being rubbed
with cod liver oil, which made the
footing terrible and all the boys
who performed last night knew it..
Robert piled things up after the
third round. In that stanza, if
memory serves us correctly, he sank
the old harpooa right down into
the ribbiest of Ribs ribs, and Rio
didn Il like it half as much as he
likes watermelon From that time
on Ribs ribs were always expect
ing another such jolt and he was
trying to accommodate them by
keeping out of the way of the pile
driver.
Pacho is due for higher spot on
the card muy pronto and is going
to get it Next week he fights
johnny Torres in the main event.
This is big step up for Robert
and if he gets by a tough boy like
Torres he is a made fighter on the
coast Torres is plenty tough as
thefans down here know, having
seen him in action several times.
We are glad Bobby gets his chance
and hope he makes good.
Mrs Armstrong; favorite son
Andy, otherwise "Parson" Arm
strong, put up what the fans be-
lieved to be the best fight of the
night, and took a decision from
Roger Wagner in the special event.
And Andy deserved it. He had the
old left working in good shape and

ARREGON GETS DECISION FROM
SKI AFTER ROUSING BATTLE
lRy aosH


F4ankie Arregon was due to get
aboard ile choo.choo ears at Los
Angeles toaay, bound FOR DuFte,
Montana and q fight with Dixie
liz Hood, enc Of the biggest shots
he hrs tackled yet.
Tucked under his belt to make
lin FEEL litile better is a hard
won battle over Battling Ski at
the Imperial Valley Athletic club
last night. Frankie caught a tar
lar in Mr.. Sikh, who is enc tough
loinbrs and how.
Arregon found boy who could
take his toughest punches without
heiilg greatly bothered, and even
when he was bothered he came back
for more and always had choice
assortment of slams in his two
mitts.
Wed like to meet up today with
the blankety-biank this and that
who swiped our notes on the fights
from our hip pocket. The blame
things won t do Linn any good for
they arc IN a horrible looking code
that might be used in redeeming
laundry from the Chinaman, but
are absolutely no good insofar as
dope on the fights are concerned,
to any but the writer. They re
gone and we are left in fine shape
having memory like Absent
minded Ahner.
Arrsgon 5 margin over Sikh was
none too wide, aud had the bat
Ting brother fought in the last
few rounds as he did in the tenth,
the result might have been differ
ent and disastrous to Senor Are
gon. The boy from Phoenix had
frankie locking not SO good in the
tenth. and the valley boy had to
resort TO plenty of stuff to get over.
But a wide margin accumulated in
the earlier part of the fight more
than evened things up. Sikh did
plenty Of 'sdogging it' at times,
and Arregon got on the bicycle
now and then, SO that they had Bill
Taekett barking at them to get IN
close and do something.
The fans who claim Arregon
can't take ii ought to get new
tune by this time. He showed last
night that he certainly can take it
and eome back for more Ski is
by far the best man Arregon has
met down here yet, and if the bat
tier ever gets back here for a re-
turn match, and battles in the
early part Of the fight as he did in
last night 's tenth, frankie is going
Ia have one busy evening Of If.

his right was just where u right
should be, right behind good left.
He dumped Mr., Wagner in the third
round, much to the latter's S surprise,
not to say chagrin.
Roger seemed to figure in the
first round that herevwas boy who
wouldn't cause him much trouble.
He found out differently and took
nice pasting. The statement is
not to be disputed for Roger told
Andy the same thing in the dress
ing room after the fight. The

caught in violent snowstorm be-

was unable to make the grade. Bill

That good

No doubt about it-old- time cooking was de-
licieus. But it may have been our youthful appe-
tites, rather than the quality Of the feod ITSELF
that gave it the super-flavor we all remember.
The good cooks Of those days never had chance
to buy such groceries as modern husewives use
The coffee on your breakfast table of
the half-dozen best-known brands advertised
-"'ay-has flavor that you could find only at a
few famous restaurants, forty years ago. The
cakes that mother used to make would have been
evenlighter, fluffier if she had had modern flour
and shortening to work with
Every day the advertising columns tell you
where to buy and how to use cooking materials
that are better-tasting, purer, more conveniently
put up than ever before in history.
All through your housekeeping the same

ACCUSED FIRE DRIVER
is ACCORDED HEARING
Decision Reserved in Investigation
of Collision Which Injured
Three Men.

Charged with reckless driving, COL
hding and violation of the Fire De-
psrtment regulations against passing
apparatus on the way to fire, as the
result of collision between No. %
engine and No. 2 truck on Thanks
giving day, in which three firemen
were injured, j. E. Luskey, driver of
No. % engine, was given hearing be-
fore the Fire Department trial board
yesterday at the fire station at Four
tenth street and Ohio avenue.
Decision in the case was reserved by
the board, which was composed of Bat
talon Chiefs A. C.. Buscher and Charles
E. Schrom and Capt. j. r. Grove of
the fire rescue squad.
Witnesses for the prosecution and
the defense agreed that 1t was the right
rear wheel of No. % engine which hit
the left front wheel of No. 2 truck in
passing at Thirty-flrSt and M streets,
causing the truck to swerve into the
curbing on the north side Of M street
at Thirty-firSt and crash into a street
light standard and parked milk truck.
Luskey told the board that he
thought after his front wheels had
cleared the truck in passing that he
was entirely clear of the larger vehicle.
He said he did not hear the crash of
the truck when it Swerved to the curb
because of the din of the two machines
sirens and whistles. and did not learn
of the accident until after he had ar
rived at the scene of the fire call he
was responding to at Thirty-sixth and
1d streets.
