Hymn of Hate Sung
Against Progressives

Visitors to the h a ii
emerged a little later to be
begged for dimes for a cup
of coffee.
AT length the allotted
time for irresponsible enthu-
siasm was up. Mr.. Smell
waved for silence and got
it almost before his hand
was down. Such perfect
control seldom has been ex-
ercised over men moved by
an inner tumult.
Along with the election Of
Senator France by police
men summoned to the job,
there was another incident
of significance. For the
first time in more than a
generation the La Toilette
Progressives of Wisconsin
were not in a convention to
fight for Socialism.
A reactionary from that
State, seconding Hoover
nomination, made the most
of it, with as bitter a de-
nunciation of the Progress
sive Republicans of the
Badger State as hate could
frame. This threw the con-
vention into an ecstasy.
But even so, Senator
Blaine of Wisconsin received
the votes for the presidential
nomination from several
States. This was three times
more than went to Coolidge,
Dawes and Wadsworth COM
bined. These votes were
probably protests against
the insOlence offered to
La Toilette.
But again-an interesting
thing.
The secretary reading the
result of the ballot remem-
bered to announce the votes
for Coolidge, Dawes and
Wadsworth-forgot to men
tion these for Blaine.
Shouts from the press
section.
Whereupon the secretary
announced 4 votes for Blaine.
More protests from the
press section-and then the
secretary came clean.

Easy for the Criminals
Hard for the Police

New York police the other day dumped into the Atlantic
Ocean, ten miles off Sandy Hook 44o2 revovers and pistols
638 shotguns and rifles and $40 daggers other tha
weapons.
All these had been seized from criminals during the year.

The bottom the Atlantic is the best place for them
However it is strange commentary topsy turvy
country that criminals should be able get firearms at all
Some States like New York, have restrictions their
SALE But is simple matter for criminal who buy
gun in State State line and buy with
impunty in another. And long this is possible any
locally restrictive law is scrap of paper.
Nothing but Federal regulation of the sale of firearms
will end this evil This regulation has been urged
repeatedly by police chiefs.

Until it is enacted the murder rate will increase.

TINE most notoriously boss
i ridden convention in a
generation came to a close
without a hitch in the plans
of Mr.. Hoover and the Cabi-
net musketeers who welded
the lash. 1t was a triumph
of timidity, of cowardice, of
hypocrisy and pretense.
Had it been possible to
have thrown a police line
about Chicago, and to have
excluded the Cabinet men,
bers, postmasters, prohibit
ton officers and other politi-
cal dependents of the Ad-
ministration, the results
would have been entirely diff
ferent.
Mr.. Hoover would not
have been nominated, nor
would Mr.. Curtis.
And the plank on prohibi-
ton would have been an hon
est one.
But the delegates, mostly
excellent men and women,
were not free agents. Ogden
Mills was their master, and
he exercised his power with
an arrogance not calculated
to make men love the rod
that struck them.
The climax of bossism of
the crudest sort came when
"a Republican who had polled
more than a million and
half Republican votes and
had been formally put in
nomination for the presi-
dency was manhandled by
dignitaries of the party on
the platform and pushed and
showed like sack of pota-
toes out of the convention.
Nothing more disgracefuI
has ever been witnessed in
a national convention than
the treatment accorded Sena-
tor France. He had just
been placed in nomination.
With the proxy of a dele
gate in his hand, he ap-
peared upon the platform
and asked recognition. In
stantly he was surrounded
by the functionaries of the
convention. These began to
shove him back. Turning
Indignantly on Smell, the
chairman, he could be heard
in the press section, SAYING:
II demand my rights!
I will have my rights"

After a man has been married

SPLENDID TALK
ON WASHINGTON

An excellent talk on George
Washington. by A. j. Shamel OF
the experimental station at River

Centro Rotary club an opportunity
to learn a number of new side
lights on the life of Washington
at yesterdays meeting.
The talk was featured by illus
trated slides which showed scenes
from that part OF virginia most
closely concerned With Washing
tons life, as well as the recon-
struction work which the govern
ment is doing in restoring to its
original status, the entire city Of
Wakefield.
Washington's birthplace, scenes
of his activities with the reyolu-
ton, Mount Vernon, the lodge hal
in which he became a Mason, and
many other views were shown and
explained by the speaker.

DEMPSEY PUTS
KNOCKOUT OVER
UPON CHRISTNER

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. Y. U.PS-
Jack Dempsey had 26 knockouts to
his 1882 exhibition record today
after stopping Meyer TX. o.
Christner of Akron. O., in the
third round of a scheduled four
round bout here last night Demp-
sey weighed 1876, Christner, 202.
The paid attendance was 97l4, and
net receipts S27, ,e72.99,
Dempsey dropped Christner, who
has fought al leading heavy
weights of the past three years,
three times for counts of nine each
before dropping him for the full
count. A left hook floored Christ
ner in the first round. and in the
third round a right cross toppled
him. Dempsey appeared very tired
after flooring Christner the last
time with a sharp left hook TO the
head which opened a deep cash
almost two inches long on Christ
ners cheek.
Comment on Dempsey's showing
follows:
Stuart Bell. Cleveland Press:
Jack, why don't you retire? You
aren't even a good hollow shell.
You are through
Day Taylor, Cleveland News: I
have seen Christner fight 10 times,
and ] never saw him take such
licking as Dempsey gave him with
l0-ounce gloves. Dempseys left
hook is as good as ever. His legs
are the question"
K. o. Christner: If anybody
thinks Dempsey is through let
them get into the ring with him.
He may be an old man, but he
can still sock. See this cut, don't
you? That's plenty OF proof

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY

United Press Staff Correspondent

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb r.
No doubt about it, this north
colmtree gets you. Gets you
c-r-r-azy. Gets you SO c-r-r-aZy in
fact, that before you know you've
forgotten about the law of self
preservation and, like the natives,
go about hunting new and fetch
ing means of self destruction.
This deterioration is not hard to
explain. After about two weeks OF
steady communion with great, sill
ent peaks, men who leap gaily off
mountain tops with nothing but
barrel slaves strapped to their feet,
and birds who whistle down a
mountain in death-dealing bob
sleds, q fellow begins to believe
that indulgence in such nonsense
is the only way TO live full life.
Take the case of the young man
from Albany, who arrived in Lake
Placid a couple of weeks ago. For
the first week he was cautious to
a fault, looking both ways before
crossing a street, and taking a
peek under the bed before retiring
at night.
Then he began to go down hill.
He took up skiing, bob-sledding and
cold showers in the morning. Yes
terday he went completely haywire
with an exhibition of deep-dish
daring that startled even the vet
eran Lake Placid filbertS.
Promptly at 3 o'clock in the
/ afternoon when the ice was thickly
dotted with skaters, the young
man from Albany took his stand
in the center of Mirror lake.
Strapped over his shoulders was
q pair of airplane wings, so heavy
the young mans knees buckled
under the weight. On his feet were
skis. Attached to the shoulder har-
ness was a rope, some rs feet long
and equipped with hook on the
loose end.
The skaters saw the strang-
looking creature and flocked to
the scene.
Takes TO Air
The young man attached the
/ hook to the rear axle of a high
powered motor car, backed off as
far as the rope would permit and
signaled the driver of the car he
was ready.
/ With a shout of warning, the
/ driver threw his machine into gear
and was off. Across the ice they
raced, car and would-be flyer gain
ing speed with the passing of each
split second.
Two hundred yards down the ice
+ the young man made a perfect
take-off and scared some 10 feet
i in the air.
Around the lake he sailed, 4

slackened the Albany Lindbergt
went out of control, slipped into a
perfect nose dive, and headed fol

He reached it, making 25-foot
landing, and a great hole in the

rescue the young man from AL

ATHLETES FROM
NORWAY OUT TO
Pile UP POINTS

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. l2-
Norway. its hopes for victory in
the Olympic winter games crushed
by Americas unexpected sweep of
the speed-skating races, plans to
die game.
The men from the Land of the
Midnight Sun proved that yester-
day when they stepped out and
won the first four places in the
combination ski championship to
raise their team point score from
nearly nothing at all to an i'm
posing 49.
Today, unless all the dope goes
wrong. the Norwegians will add
another % points to their total
and end the day with a score of
II, just four points less than the
United States.
These t22 points are expected 10
be added in the ski jump champ
ionship. Norway has four men en-
tered who, judging by their prac-
tiee work. should run one, two,
three, four.
Heading this list is Sigmund
Ruud, worlds champion. The Nor
wegians also have Sigmlnd's
brother, bigger, Hans Beck and
Kaare Wahlberg, any one OF whom
is better than anybody this, or any
other nation has to offer.
First and second heats of the
four man bob-sled race, originally
scheduled for yesterday. were post
poned again until tomorrow or
Sunday because of continued warm
weather and rain. The games are
scheduled to close Saturday after
noon, but Olympic rules ALLOW 4
24-hour period in which to clean
up poStponements.
The combination ski champion
ship boys were the only athletes
in action yesterday. When they
were through, Johan Grottums-
braaten. Norway, had successfully
defended his championship, and
Hans Vinjarengen, another We
gian, had broken the intervales
jump record with a leap OF 204
Vinjarenegen was forced to yield
second place to Ole Stenen, Nor
way, who finished second in the
l8-kilometer cross country run
yesterday
The l8-kilometer served as the
first half of the combination ski
run and ski-jump affair. and points
scored in it counted fully as much
as the jumping.

MOTORIST WHO
WANTED TICKET
ACCOMMODATED

r. A. Whitmer, %, of Holtville
wanted a traffic ticketz-and he
got it, and he wanted publicity
but it cost him far more than
would an advertisement.
Whitmer was sentenced by Judge
j. f. Simpson yesterday afternoon
TO pay a fine of $l00 or serve so
days in the county Jail for reckless
driving. He made good start
when he paid So of the fine and
was released TO pay the balance by
February Is.
Before he was arresced, and dur
ing the time he was in search of a
ticket, Whitmer explained to Off
broken wings about him, and re-
marked sorroWfully:
I've got to put little more
thought into the proposition OF

it now stands"
Imperial Valley press., 1932-02-12

GERS he was doing it all for pub
licity.. He is a salesman, he said
and believed he could really use
ticket.
He even asked Roy Dupont for
one, pointing out that the muffler
on his car was illegal. This was at
II O'Clock at night. Dupant re-
marked he had not noticed the
muffler, and Whitmer continued
his quest. At l o'clock he ap-
reached T. P. Farmer, desk sarg-
cant at the police station, and
again was refused a ticket.
Then, at 4:l0, he again made
his request, this time of John
Mayo, night captain, and again
was refused.
Finally, somewhat later, Whit
mer was arrested by Roy GilletJ
and r. r. Voyles on Main street
on a charge of driving while drunk
This charge was reduced to one OF
reckless driving in police court,
and Judge Simpson passed the
sentence which must have come as
u shock to the ticket seeker.

. third kind OF bait cravf1sh, which re-
sembles q lobster in form, but rarely being
more than an inch and q half In length the
fisherman can pick up the gamiest fish Of all,
the xnau-n.outhed black bass. These fighters
are surely the hit and-run type of fish. They
swim about the bait for time, looking 1t over
and, having decided to seize it, they dash at
it at great speed and run away with yard after
yard Of line in swift rush which may carry
the hook away 20 to 80 yards without pause.
In that long rush the angler must hook his
quarry loose him. II he is successful in
hooking the bass, the angler is in for many
minutes OF great sport with the bass darting
around In the water in series OF r,ishes which
test the skill Of the man handling the pole.
Any shack in the line means lost fish, for
II the bass has opportunity to break water and
jump with loose line, he can frequently cast
the hook off Too much pressure on the line
would have the same effect.
It Is not infrequent that an angler win
land all four types of fish at one excursion
