MAT ACES MEET
HERE TONIGHT

When German met German in
the old days they used to open
a saloon or set up in some re-
spectacle business. Now when
these two nationals meet they
engage in a wrestling match. How
times 60 change, eh, Mr.. Vol
stead?
This new order of things will
be carried out tonight at the
Washington Auditorium when
Dick Shikat. the former king of
the heavies, engages Milo Stein
born in the feature match of
Promoter Joe Turner'S all-star
mat card that includes three
other fine preliminaries.
Both Shikat and Steinborn
are dOubly anxious to regis
ter, for the winner Is likely TO
be matched with Jim L0ndos
the recognized N. B. A. cham
piOn, in q title bout here in
the near future.
In a previous meeting Shikat
flopped Steinborn, but only after
a gruelling hour and 40 minutes
struggle. Tonight Steinborn seeks
his revenge and his success or
failure largely depends upon his
ability to work Shikat into posi-.
tion to apply his back-breaking,
paralyzing "bear hug" hold.
Local fans are familiar with
Milo's favorite way Of pinning
his opponents and feel that he has
a $3.50 chance Of winning. Both
boys are we'll matched in size,
Shikat weighing 210 and Stein
born 2l5. It will be a one fall
finish match.
The supporting matches on the
card also promise much. In the

Tony Felice. recognized leading
Italian mailman. Then in the
other two the Masked Marvel"
meets Mike Romano, another
Italian star, while Rough House"

The first bout is to start
promptly at $50 o'clock and

will be admitted free. A number
of electric fans will make the

moter Turner has promised.

PARIS, July THE gay and
romantic escapades Of King Carol II
have set Rumanian tongues wagging
on more than one occasion-and so
have the love affairs of his royal
brother and sister, Prince Nicholas
and the beautiful Princess Ileana.
Moreover, the long friendship be-
tween their mother, Queen Marie,
and Prince Babu Stirbey-a power
full and mysterious figure at the Ru-
manian court for many years-has
been the subject of renewed gossip
in European circles since Stirbey
went into voluntary exile" upon
Carols return as king a short time
ago. ~
Carols dislike for Stirbey goes
back many years; he is said to have
struck the latter in the face when
he encountered him in one Of the
palaces shortly before he left Ru-
mania with Nine. Lupescu in 1925.
He long had been known as a
court favorite," even before the
death of the queens husband, King
Ferdinand.
When Carol returned to Rumania
and to. power one Of his first acts,
it is said, was to order the private
telephone line between Queen
Marie's apartments and Prince Stir
bey'S palace ripped out.

Then the Stirbey palace was
searched and it Is claimed humber
Of state secrets and official codes
we're found. And so Carol allowed"
Stirbey to depart.
A SIDE from King Carol, two Of
IA her children-Princess neana
and Prince Nicholas-have been
much in the public eye in recent
years.
The mystery surrounding the
sudden breaking of the recent
engagement Of the beautiful
neana, 81, to Count Alexander of
Hochburg, 80, a German, never has
been cleared. Royal announcement
of the engagement was issued, al
most as quickly Cancelled, and
Queen Marie departed with Ileana
on a trip to Egypt-to forget.
Religious differences were first
blamed for the break-the Ruma-
Man royal family is orthodox Catho-
lic-but Count Alexander set these
at rest when he announced he was
willing to yield his faith for his
bride
Just what really happened never
has been revealed.

4 Ileana is said to have had
trouble with her heart before. A
few years ago there was current in
Rumania-true or untrue-a story
to the effect that she had attempted
to elope to Constantinople with
Commander Paius, handsome
Rumanian naval officer several
years older than herself who was
married and had family.
ueana lightly dismissed this re-
port by saying that she had merely

She tells, for instance, how when

Thunderstorm

The thunderstorm is owing to the
rapid vertical convection of air con-
tanning large amount Of water vapor.
The lower air must, therefore, be rath-
er warm, say 10 degrees F. or over.
else it would not carry the requisite
amount Of water vapor, and the tenn
perature must decrease rather rapidly
with increase of height, else there
would be but little or no convection.
Now, in the summer time the humid
ity in Oregon and Washington is rath-
er low. Hence thunderstorms gener-
ally are improbable. In the winter
time, when most Of the rains come.
the surface commonly is too cool to
set up vigorous vertical convection.
Hence thunderstorms are not likely.
Thunderstorms are not frequent in
Oregon and Washington any time Of
the year. Thunderstorms occur very
infrequently in California.

Nature Gave Great AUX
No Method of Defense

The Great AUX or gare-fowl was
the only bird in the northern hemis-
phere that could not fly. In general
appearance it resembled the penguin.
It was about as large as a goose, was
black on its head and back and white
beneath. Its legs were very far back
so it stood almost upright, having, on
land, the appearance of sitting on Its
tail. 1t ranged from the Bay of Bis
cay to Greenland and was found In
greatest numbers on certain rocky is
lands near Iceland and Newfoundland
1t was quite helpless against enemies
on land and was killed largely for the
sake Of its feathers The last known
example was killed in 1914. Its eggs
are highly valued by collectors, some
times bringing as high as Sl,5oO.
There are only about seventy exam
pies known. The great aux was the
biggest Of a large family In the spe-
cies, comprising guillemots or INJURIES
and puffins. They breed in vast mixed
communities on cliff lodges from
Greenland, Iceland and Spitzbergen to
the st. Lawrence, Maine and north
western Europe. They lay large
blotched egg pointed at one end so
1t tends to roll in a circle, thus not
falling from the ledge.

Eilingualism in Africa
Amusin1 to Americans

One of the first features to strike an
American visitor to South Africa Is
the country's bilingualism. AS he
steps off the boat at Cape Town he Is
confronted by the double admonition,
"No Smoking-Nie Rock Me" Walk
ing up Adderley street, principal thor
oughfare Of the city, he is told to
Keep to the left-Links houden." If
he'wants to mail letter back home
he must by a STAMP -poseel." and If
he buys more than one stamp he will
find that while one is inscribed South
Africa" the next Is marked "Suid-
afrika." At the railroad station he will
find that the name of the city is given
as Cape Town and Kaapstad, and the
dining cars are labeled Dining car
Eetsaloon" on a railroad known both
as South African railways and Sud
Afrigannse Spoorweg. And so on. Ev-
cry official or semioficial notice In
the union is printed in two languages
English and Africans. Meanwhile
the Englishman grumbles about hav-
ing to pay extra taxes to meet the cost
Of reprinting notices in Africans. and
the Dutchman wonders why the ex-
pense of using English as well as his
own language should be tolerated.

A Dirty Dig
MR.. EDITOR:

The editor of the Wing took
a dirty dig OF the County Com
missioners in his columns last
week, under the caption Cam
paigning With County Funds. "
He states that the work Of
crawling the roads which is
now being done in the Sixth
and Seventh districts, is solely
for the purpose of securing
votes for my reelection and
that the cost is to come out OF
next years levy.
This statement is not only
false but shows that the editor
of the Wing is, as usual, stoop-
ing to low depths solely for po-
litical or personal reasons.
After repeatedly condemning
the wasteful method of patch
ing the dirt roads with dirt
from the side bitches and advo-
eating the use of more perman-
ent gravel, he now charges
waste of the taxpayers money
for the purpose of securing
votes, by the present County
Commissioners. A case of "be
damned if you do and be damn
de if you don't"
A few years back when this
same editor had a finger in the
pie of disbursing county funds
it was the practice of doing
road work (?) and charging
same to the succeeding admin
istration, hence his windy as
sertion that cit is a 100 to 1
shot" that the same thing is
being done now.
The work of repairing the
roads in the Sixth and Seventh
districts is being done now be-
cause they need it, because the
weather permits, because the
funds are available. Gravel is
being used because it. is more
durable than dirt and because
stone or concrete is beyond
the means of the taxpayer.
If doing conscientious, eco
nomical road work during the
seasonable months, within the
scope of the present means of
the Commissioners is produc-
tive of votes for the undersign-
ed, he certainly appreciates
this feature and makes no de-
NAL of it. But to be falsely ac-
cused of using unlevied county
funds solely for personal bene-
fit is another matter, though |
suppose it is nothing more
than is to be expected from
this source. If the EDITORS
craw could be emptied of some
of the dirt in it, and filled with
some of the good, clean gravel
now being used on the roads,
his actions, like the roads,
would be improved.
