Peculiar Make-Up

Peculiar Makeup
If I were great psychologist
perhaps I would be able to ex-
plain the man more definitely.
All I know, however, is that
everyone Of us has a silly little
quirk somewhere in our make
up. Some Of us like to ride in
rry-go-roundS. Some read
Broadway columns. Other folks
like spinach. I once met a
guy who got a thrill when he
slapped sunburned people on
their backs. In another way,
it's the same thing with the
same character I write about.
Daffy in just one direction.
At any rate, this particular
forger-whom I called Joe in
my other story and who might
as well continue with the same
name-has never been violent
criminal. He would spend
short term in some Jail and
then continue on his merry
way until the police nailed him
once again. His checks, Of
course, were generally under
500. He was smart enough for
that.
And so it had gone through
the years. He lived only for
his parties-and for the oppor-
tunity of handing out his next
bit Of bad paper. He never
worried about bills because he
always paid by check. And he
he never worried about his fu.
ture because he knew the courts
would take care of him for
years at a time until he passed
iF1t0 the next world.
The Washington times., 1931-07-16
Married But Once

Although Joe liked the gals
as we'll as the next forger, he
stepped into matrimony but
once. That was some years
back and it occurred when he
was hilariouSly celebrating his
latest release from jail. Both
the marriage and the hilarity
came to an end four days later
when his father-in-law had him
arrested. Joe, it seems, had
given the old man a bad check
for his honeymoon money.
And now let me proceed with
my story. About five months
ago Joe was again taken into
custody by a friendly few po-
licemen and sentenced to two
familiar years. When he reach
ed the prison practically every
one but the new inmates hailed
him with delight. He was a
popular bird. And even though
you know all about him, you
had to like him.
But, in a nearby office, sew
eral prison authorities were
studying his record and shaking
their heads.
'ThiS man." said one of them,
should be examined in regard
to his sanity. Some action
should be taken in his case.
Look at this report. Ee is no
sooner out Of jail than he's in
again. Something must be
done"
Joe Faces a Quiz
And something was done.
Two days later Joe was called
before four learned gentlemen
who were there to study his
case. The four gentlemen were
eminent criminologists. And

Studio announcements, like the
promises of stock statesmen, are
not to be taken too seriously.
For some time now, William
Haines has been set to do Pig

DUSEK RETAINS
POWER At GATE

Rudy Dusek remains a drawing
power with Washington wrestling
fans.
Defeating Tiny Roebuck in the
feature of the show at the Clark
Griffith Stadium last night, he
attracted over 1000 through the
turnstiles despite the chilly at
mosphere. The weather, how
ever, failed to dampen the ardor
of the fair sex, who attended in
large numbers. Many of the
women and girls present wore
fall coats. while some of the men
sported topcoats.
The rugged Bohemian gave
ROebuck nearly 30 pounds and
then proceeded to show him a
few tricks, putting the Indian
down on the canvas after 40
minutes by virtue of the noted
rocking chair" split.
1t was no cinch match for
DuSek, for Roebuck made the
going tough at all times. The
Indian even applied the locking
chair" split once or twice on Du-
SEX, but only the latter knows
how to use this hold effectively.
The match that was the
Scorcher developed between Paul
c"ScissorsD Jones and George
zaharias, the contest ending in
a draw after 80 minutes of dyna-
mic action with wicked slugging
on both sides. The pair will prob
ably be rematched.

The three schools, Cardozo,

Heretofore, all of the high school

MASTER BOXER
FACES BARRY

just how Reds" Barry will go
about licking Frankie Wine Mon
day night at Fort Washington.
where the two clash in the
windup of a 36-round boxing card,
furnishes much food for thought.
Reds" is quite a boxer, but
will be boXe with such a master
boxer as Wine? OF course. he can
go apunching, too, but that looks
like a fatal step since frankie
floored that Stribling person three
times in two fights, and had K. O.
Christner down twice in a TO-
round go.
Proof Of Wines boxing ability
is found in his victory over Joe
Sekyra, who many thought out
boxed Tommy LOughran last
Tuesday night at the Queens
bOrO Stadium, in New York.
AS a matter of fact, there seems
to be no way out for the local
red head. Patsy Donovan, his
handler, wants Barry to get a
little ring craft under his belt.
The odds are 10 to / that he'll
have learned plenty if he is in an
upright position after those eight
heats.
This is, without doubt, Barry's
real test of gameness and cum
ming. His followers, however, are
not so enthusiastic about his
chances against the Barberton
