Five bouts with 24 rounds Of fighting goes into the making of the Moose smoker card to be presented here on Saturday night, December 21. The American Legion's new fight arena in A. B. Hall has been rented for the occasion and the boys who are on the bill are putting in some good hard licks training there.
 The main event brings a new fighter out for Juneau fans. One Red Campbell makes his initial bow here and just to show how good he really is, he's taking on Mauler Olson from Chilkoot Barracks.
 Campbell has fought in ot h CT Alaska towns and has a reputation of being a crafty ring man and a seeker of more than a little merit
 All together the Moose card looks to be good. In the scIli-final Schoolboy Sammy Nelson takes on Rod Hulse. Sammy better leave his football tactics at home in this match or he's liable to get chased cut of the ring. Hulse is rated as a consistently good boxer who packs @ punch in both mitts.
 The Soldier Kid and Kid Granny apparently they run strong to kids in this coming event, are billed as special attraction. Campbell, who is matching the boys for the Moose, rates them as good enough for a main attraction and predicts it will be as good a go as that between Young Sharkey and Joe Leyson at the last Legion smoker. If he's cor rect. the fans won't go home griev- ing.
 There are two preliminaries. Jerry Roberts, enc of the boys on the last Veteran bill, is going to show his stuff against one Louis Nabalis, and Don Smith, Sitka tribesman, meets Pete Ervig, little brown brother from Manala, in a return engage ment.
 Smith and Ervig tangled~in the last Legion show and got draw verdict at the end of four rounds. They are willing mixers and what they lack in ring experience and boxing science is made up by their enthusiastic efforts to inflict a lot of damage on each other.

 The talk about replacing Arnold Horween at Harvard with either Eddie Casey of Charley Hubbard, due to Horween's business demands in Chicago, may turn to persuasive tones as a result of the fine victory of the Crimson over Yale.
 Charley Crowley may figure in a shift at Columbia but the veteran Gil Dobie, after surviving a pre- season storm at Cornell, now seems slated to fill out his long-term con- tract, especially with a rise in grid iron fortunes for the Ithacans.

 Kipling didn't have Bronko Nag ursik in mind at the time, yet he might have revised one of his songs of the cobra Nag" something like this for the benefit of the Minnesota fullback:
 Eye to eye and head to head,
 (Keep the measure, Nag Up front or back, the enemy's
 dread;
 (At thy pleasure, Nag) Turn for turn and twist for twist CThey can't spill thee, Nag) Here was the tackler who never
 missed!
 Did the battle thrill thee, Nag?)

When Bronko Nagurski scored the two touchdowns that helped Mime sota beat Wisconsin in the final game of the season for the Gophers he finished career as the great est all-around football player have ever seen" The quotation is from his coach, Dr. Clarence W. Spears All-American guard at Dartmouth himself in 1915.
 Enthusiastically, the doctor added: "In my career as a player and coach I have played against and coached against the best teams of the East and Middle-West and l have never encountered Nagurski's equal"
 Of Ukranian blood, the Big Nag is a physical brute with an artistic temperament" Spears explains. His delevopment, or evolution, from end to tackle to pulverizing full-back is one of the dramatic features of a game chockfull of the usual. When he cracked three ribs in the Iowa game last year and was forced to wear a brace, Nagurski went back into the line, he said, to play some football standing straight up" in asmuch as he could not bend over to take the passes from centerl

British Divorce News
Ban Is Hit by Jurist

From the Albany Evening News.
Some time ago. England passed law
restricting newspapers In reporting oil
vorce cases only to publication OF the
names of the parties, . statement OF
facts on which judgment is given ana
the judges charge.
Recently it was pointed out that oil
vorce was increased largely in England
since that law was passed and the
theory was set forth that lack Of pub
Lefty and the ability Of parties in d.
vorce cases to conceal their guilt tended
to increase divorces.
Judge Merrivale in one case the other
day expressed his disagreement with
this law and In long summing up OF
the case set forth much of the story.
81 have done this" he said, because
in my judgment 1t Is not in the public
interest that social crimes of this kind
should be committed and that particu-
lars of the offense should not be known
to the world in which the parties live.
One Of the deterrents to misconduct Is
publicity"
There can be no disputing the fact
that the fear of publicity is a deterrent
to misconduct. Reputation is o precious
thing and many who might otherwise
60 wrong hesitate because they fear the
loss Of reputation.

Throwing Up the SSsc:SSyc.

The pressure to bring about an adj
journment of the special session of Con-
gress has become too strong, apparent
ly. The effort to get the tariff bill
through the Senate and to conference
between the two houses of Congress be-
fore the opening of the regular session
of Congress. December 2, is to be aban-
doned, If plans of some of the leaders
are carried out. Adjournment talk mem
tons November % or % for the get
away Of Congress. If the Senate is 10
quit on the Job, however and let the
bill go over to the regular session, it
might just as well adjourn without
further delay and permit its members
to let little longer vacation.
The fate of the tariff bill is still cloud
ed in mystery. If it goes over in the
Senate to the opening of the regular
session in December, no final vote on
the measure may be had until some
time in January. or even later. There is
talk, to he sure, Of getting the Senate
out of the tariff trenches by Christmas
day. But II the Senate cannot complete
its work on the bill by December /, re-
naming in continuous session without
an adjournment now, it does not appear
probable that 1t will get very far with
the measure in the regular session be-
fore Christmas. The special session of
Congress has been devoted, since the
passage Of the farm relief bill, TO the
tariff. With the opening of the regular
session, the bars win be down for all

kinds of legislation. This viii not help
in the disposition Of the tariff bill.
There is not the slightest doubt that a
large number of the members Of the
senate would like TO set away from
Washington for a rest. This is par
ticularly true of the members of the
finance committee, who have been in
washington working on the tariff bill
all Summer and Fall. There has been
an almost continuous session OF the
Congress since last December-al-
though there was a senatorial recess
for two months last Summer. But the
Senators are feeling III used, and I'M
doubtedly there are some of them who
need q vacation. Furthermore. the
mileage which goes to members of Con-
gress, to meet the cost of transporta-
ton to and from a Congress, is in
volved in the taking of an adjourn
nent. While the desire for mileage
is not a major factor in the desire for
an adjournment, 1t nevertheless will
be acceptable.
The eoalitionists in the Senate, If
they agree to an adjournment of Con-
gress now and give up all hope of pass
ing the. tariff bill in the special ses-
sion, may gain another advantage.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the coalition leaders IN the Sen
ate are anxious to see a similar coali-
ton of western Republicans and Demo-
crats built up in the House which
will agree to the tariff bill amend
ments adopted by the coalition in the
Senate. An adjournment now gives
greater opportunity to build up such a
coalition In the House.
1t will not be long now until there
is a scramble to prove to the country
that the failure of Congress to put
through a tariff bill in the special ses-
sion of Congress was due to the opera
tions of this or that group in the
Senate, or to the President himself
AS a matter of fact, when the tariff
revision was thrown wide open, and the
Presidents recommendation that re-
vision be limited" was cast aside, the
probability of such . jam arose. Too
much selfshness has been the contribut-
ing factor, plus very considerable
amount of politics. The course of tariff
bills, however, never does run smooth.

Farm Board Seen. as Bulwark
Against Foreign Bear Raids

Public opinion in America is appar-
emily registering growing interest in
til, Federal Farm Board as a weapon
of defense in Americas economic battle.
Many comments on the successful
Canadian wheat pool in this connection,
the hope for sttfening the buyers mar
ket in the whole Western Hemisphere,
and thus defeating European bears"
reveal an optimism rs regards the po-
tentialities of the board.
what is being attempted in wheat
marketing in the United States" says
the Indianapolis News, is identical in
many respects with a program now fol-
pooling of grain there began on linz
tied scale during the crop year Of 1924
IS. Notwithstanding that the newly
formed agricultural agencies then owned
not a single elevator, they succeeded in
handling 81 900 900 bushels. In the
season OF 1928-29 joint selling accounted
for 245,0OO,0O0 bushels, or somewhat
more than one-half of an unusually
large annual production. On
the whole, the record made II remark
able. The obvious intention
of our own Farm Board is TO have the
newly formed Farmers National Grain
Corporation act as q centralized clear
ing house. Such an enterprise in the
American program IL deemed more
necessary than in Canada, because of
the more scattered character Of wheat
production in this Nation"
The situation Is distinctly more
hopeful" &C -aing to the Des Moines
Tribune Capit.,i, because the Canadian
wheat pool, with u its disadvantages,
is holding fast, and because what II has
done is beginning to appeal to the
financial opinion of the United States"
That paper says OF the general sitla-
ton: The fact that President Hoover
when he said his administration would
put the farm on an economic equality
with industry meant setting the Gov
eminent at work with men and money
to stabilize farm prices ought to be
enough to end debate. But there are
still almost innumerabie voices in the
industrial East shouting 1T can't be

Even the severeSt critics of the FeS-
eral Farm Board" In the opinion OF
the Chicago Daily News, will be forced
to commend its bold yet sound and
beneficial steps in connection with the
two major problemS-cotton and wheat

Cornell Versus Coryza.

One of the most famous of recurrent
"wars" is that declared on that enemy
of eficiency and general nuisance, the
common cold" so far, although GER
tain important preliminary skirmishes
have been won, there has been no deci-
sive general engagement. The latest
drive has been inaugurated by the au-
thorities of Cornell University. who have
installed elaborate equipment in what is
said 10 be the first ultraviolet ray so
lariun to be established in any Amer
lean university.
It Is announced that previous long
term experiments have shown that COM
mon colds can be prevented to a con-
siderable degree through the use OF these
rays, with a reduction of from 27.9 to
4o.3 per cent in the frequency of colds
In various university groups. All this
holds out hope, but Sle fact remains
that, no matter how numerous such
solaria might be, few ordinary persons
would be able to avail themselves OF
their beneficial effects. The old time
clock and the factory whistle must be
roekened with, no matter how efncacious
. course of preventive or curative treat
ment might prove.
All this progress is along the right
line. Chlorine treatments, ultraviolet
ray treatments and many other appar-
emily logical aids have been and will
continue to be tried, but weary decades
and possibly centuries, must intervene
before the cold, like the house fly, shall
have been completely conquered In the

q. Does wind velocity affect ther-
mometer?-W. d. B.
A. The Weather Bureau says that the
thermometer is not affected by the wind
velocity after having once attained the
temperature of the wind. The physical
discomfort usually associated with high
winds is due to the removal of heat with
great rapidity from the human body on
account Of the winds. As no heat is
generated by q Thermometer, its read
ings are therefore not affected by the
wind velocity.
O. Exactly at the North Pole does

A. At the North Pole the sun rises
only once and sets only once during the
entire year. It is visible for about six

months.

A. When very young Catherine Parr

his death she married Lord Latimer.
He died shortly before her marriage to
Henry VIII. After the death Of the
King she made fourth marriage.
@. Why are some people so much
more ticklish than others?-G. S.
A. 1t depends upon the sensitiveness
of the nervous system. susceptibility
to tickling is also partially under the
control of the will. If no restraint is
exercised, Representatives, Is apt to
result. Considerable resistance can be
developed.
O. Do many orchestras use accor-
dionS?-J. o.
A. We are told that the use of the
piano-key accordion is increasing by
leaps and bounds. Practically all the
orchestras that are using time on the
radio are equipped with one Of these
instruments. Many of the hotel orches-
tras in New York City are similarly
