YEAR WILL SEE
! ITALIAN AS
MENACE
BY JACK DEMPSEY


Primo Carnera demonstrated in
his outing with George Godfrey
that he is much better than
rated. The boys had him pegged
as a giant, with mighty
strength-and not much else.
They didn't even credit him with
having much of wallop, figur-
ing that most of the fellows he
dropped in earlier battles did q
little tank act.
But Carnera showed enough
against Godfrey to indicate that
he is greatly improved; that he
will get better right along, and
that soon he may be the man
they must beat for whatever sort
of heavyweight championship
that exists.
Reports that came to me
from the Camera Godfrey
battle-ground indicated that
George was out in front
when the foul finish came.
But George seemed to be tiring
and slipping while Carnera was
getting stronger all the time.
And when a fellow can take all
that George can hand out for
five rounds and keep charging
in-well, that fellow is game and
he must be good.
was surprised over the fact
that Carnera, at moments, actu-
ally outboxed Godfrey. George
always had been good on the de-
tense stuff. That was his Spe-
cialty. Yet Camera met George
at his own game, during certain
parts of the fight, and seems to
have outspeared and outblocked
the big negro.
Georges weight-25O-is the

Carnera was tested-and came
out on top with colors flying.
He turned in a splendid per-
formance. It's too bad that
George ended the show with a
foul blow. It would have been
interesting to see what would
have happened if it had gone to
q fair ending.
But it went far enough to
prove that Camera isn't a joke
warrior; that he has improved
greatly since his first American
appearance; that he is still inn
proving, and that within six
months or a year he may he the
most dangerous of all the heavies.

Macdonald Raises Hopes of
Delegates in London by
British Proposal.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 22.-Ramsay
Macdonald, in words which rang with
hope for midas restless millions, yes
terday ended the flve-day debate which
has set the momentous Indian Round
Table Conference in motion.
Welcoming the almost unanimous
opinion of midas spokesman that the
federal system Of government is their
country'S goal, the prime minister once
more pledged Britain to the principle
of responsible self-government in India
as in other units Of the British COM
monwealth.
Question Now Is How.
The great question during the COM
ing weeks now is how-and more i'm
portant to the Indian delegates-when
that goal is to be achieved.
There was an atmosphere of tense
expectancy in ST. James Palace when
Macdonald rose to speak, and the In
dian delegates hesitated even to applaud
lest they miss one of his words. He told
them Britain never would WEIGH on any
OF her pledges and he referred specific
ally to the Chelmsford declaration of
1917 pledging the development Of self
governing institutions in India.
Then he outlined the tasks which
remain before the conference commit
tees
Six Tasks Outlined.
"a To determine the nature of the
component units which are to be fitted
into a scheme of federation.
% The nature Of the central CO.
ordinating structure.
CD Relations Of the central structure

cooperation Of the minorities.

RABBIT HUNTER SHOOTS
CALF ON NIGHT FORAY
Used Carbide Lamp to Locate Game,

Pair of Eyes.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CABOT, Ark, November 22.-For so
years M. E. Skillern hunted rabbits
with a great deal of success in the
conventional manner-with dogs, guns
and a lot of yelling.
Recently he was converted to more
businesslike methods that seemed to
bear promise of bigger and better rab-
bit hunts.
Forthwith he bought himself car
bide lamp and everything was so much
easier He simply went out at night.
The light, cleaning in the rabbits eyes
located them in their beds and blinded
them. Mr.. Skillern could kill them at
will. Everything was so easy. He
didn't even have to chase them.
Thursday night the lamps light caught
the reflection of an eye in a thicket.
Bangl went Mr. Skillern's gun. To-
day he paid a neighbor SIS for q dead
calf and stored the lamp away in the
attic. He said he wouldn't need 1t
any more.

Clear Soup and Turbot

Imagination is a faculty so rarely found in criminals
In real life that it is little wonder that a nineteen
year-old girl clerk recently arraigned in London on a
charge Of theft excited wonder on the bench and in
the courtroom. After hearing her story Sir Robert
Wallace. chairman Of the Sessions. asked: Who has
the copyright Of this remarkable romance?~ For
eighteen months this girl. employed as a stenographer
by a firm of printers. had deceived a young man
enamored Of her. his parents and other persons with
almost incredible stories of the languid. luxurious life
she led in Mayfair. BY her account shS was working
as a stenographer only for something to do while
waiting to come into a fortune left to her by a tea
planter. On one accession she had casually let drop
the fiction that the dowager Duchess Of Norfolk was
to chaperon her for the London season. One OF the
letters which this girl wrote to her young man was
read in court; it deserved to reach a larger audience
than one. In 1t she wrote:
"On the whole I cannot grumbe about M days.
I will now bore you with a sight impression Of the
events. Simmonds supposed to be a detective with
an interest in society took me a short drive, had an
appointment. SO dropped me outside a shop run by
two Society girls. The days seem composed OF
meals with intervals for indigestion, my walks home
for lunch. my drive and home invariably at 5 to sit in
state and receive callers. Some Of the ladies at tea
were discussing marriage in society and how mothers
again this season would struggle hideously with
daughters who failed to get a husband last season.
At one moment. A s.. with such a proud move
ment and her beautiful-toned voice. remarked. No
one can ever say I strove for a title or TO catch a
Lords son for my ward Then I went back 10 dinner
IN traditional Green-street manner-clears soup. turbot,
saddle Of mutton. game. followed by sweets and
cheese stravs.'"
Judgment on the girl was deferred. ostensibly TO
obtain a medical report from Holloway Prison.
Many will suspect that actually it was TO allow a
discreet inquiry as to the present whereabouts Of the
author OF The Young Visitors"

He thought he was all-powerful. He had declared

He fought on and on. from the bleak December un-

he was compelled to sell his controlling interest In
the gigantic moving picture corporation which he had
created and to pass his sceptre of power on to Harley
