How did they keep it up, Janet
wondered these young people whose
mornings, after .oons and evenings
seemed devoted TO parties? OF
course they did no work, but to
Janet the constant round OF galety
in itself seemed strenuous.
How could a young man like Roll
get to the Office in the morning
ready for a days work after night
of festivities that had not ended
until dawn?
Surely there must be some quiet
evenings some time for rest.

want my little girl to have every
thing in the world to make her
happy"
Mrs Curtis herself wasn't look
ing so we'll these days. There
was one evening when she was
dressing, preparing to go to the
Thorntons, that Janet rushed to
the telephone to call DR. Roberts.
The physician came and pre-
scribed two days of complete rest
in bed Mrs. Curtis, frightened,
promised to obey these instruc-
tons faithfully but on the second
day when Betty called and in
insisted her mother should come to
fill out a table at her bridge party,
Betty, as usual, had her way.
Mrs Curtis arose and dressed
and set off for the bridge party.
Janet was left to herself.
1t was June and the seasons
first hot spell had set in. The
air, both inside and out of the
house, was sitting. Janet had
finished her work and considered
how to spend the afternoon. She
felt an impulse to get away from
the house.
There was no place in particular
to go. Suddenly, Janet decided to
see a movie. 1t would be cool in
the dark theater. 1t would be rest
full, too.
She hurried upstairs and put on
new blue linen dress and wide
brimmed white hat. She was wear
ing white OXfords, and the costume
was becoming.
Janet walked to the bus stop and
rode down to the business district.
1t was hotter here, but the theater
would be cooled by artificial breezes.
Janet was within half block of
che theater when window display
caught her eye. She paused to look
at it and that was why she did not
see the man until, turning, she al
most bumped into him.

Don Prudencio Alviso might have

slightly liverish eyes he was very
wide awake. Within ten minutes
he had William B. Latham sewed
up on a contract of purchase and
sale, provided the court approved
Don Prudencio's action as execu-
tor.
When Crooked Bill had the con-
tract safely tucked in his pocket
he commenced talking with Don
Prudencio about the deceased Tom
Antrim, and learned that for d few
days following Antrim's death the
sheep had remained in charge of
one Bill Dingle. Antrim's foreman.
Later Dingle had been rather fOrci-
bly, relieved of his charges by
james Hignenes. of the Rancho

Around the Ring

Mike Belloise, who boxes Frank ie Wallace in one of five sizes on Friday nights Garden card, scored a kayo in Syracuse last Friday night. The popular Bronxite knock cd the skids from under Joey Browns legs in one minute in the second of six scheduled rounds. He sealed 123 pounds for the fracaS.
 Incidentally, Wallace holds two decisions over Freddie Miller, N. B. A. featIerweight king. PrOmot- CT Jimmy Johnston is anxious to match Miller with Chocolate if the Cuban BOnBOn wins over CanZOn- eri.
 Chocolate boxed six rounds yes- terday. two each with Jimmy Sla- vim, Charley Badami and Frankie C0veIli. Manager Sam Goldman supervised Canzy's training at Sum- init; N. J.. over the weekend. Tony had stiff workout consisting of six rounds of sparring and four on the bag. His sparring mates include Lew Amber, Lew Feldman and George Reilly. Both headliners tipped the beam at the 131 1-2 notch.
 The first clash between the Keed and Tony two years ago drew $90,- 900 worth of customers. On that occasion Capzoneri staked<his light weight laurels against the Cuban. Tony had to go at his fastest gait and punch his hardest to eke out a close decision.
 It is not divulging a secret to state that the two little men have earned more than a million dollars between them. Chocolate owns a flock of houses in Havana. and Tony has invested his money wise ly. Right now Canzoneri can lay his hands on $S00,000 cash money The Kecd may be property broke but he will not have to worry about the cold weather.
 Both have had a good fight un- der their belts. Two weeks ago Canzoneri whipped Frankie Klick in ten rounds in Brooklyn ring, and Chocolate travelled all the way to Toronto to stop short Joe Gnouhly's winning streak.

 Why football team. when meet ing an opponent considered 1t equal, holds the knot on its bag of tricks until it is either scored upon or unt 1.-the. last few minutes of the game, is one of the ques- tions of the season.
 Notre Dame did this against Pitt. Playing straight football m the first half, the Irish, in the face of a 14-0 defeat, unleashed some trick end runs and deceptive passes that nearly brought them two scores in the second half.
 These same plays, if trotted out in the first half when the players were fresh. might have given the Irish first blood.
 As it was, Pitt, by virtue of a surprise attack, scored first and held the upper hand throughout. Surprise! Surprise:
 The element of surprise carries considerable weight in the ultimate outcome of football game. Pull ing few trick plays in the first quarter may not appeal to some coaches, who believe it poor strat- egy to show your wares to the other fellow early in the game. But it's the psychological effect trick play exerts on the other fellow that vounts.
 This was clearly shown in the Detroit University-Holy Cross bat tie this year.
 The boys from the east coast, unbeaten and united. travelled west to take on Gus Dorais' crew. De- troit was rated the underdog after couple of defeats early in the year.
 Dorais realized the psychological value of trick play pulled early in, the game. And what did he do but order whichever Detroit man received the opening kickoff to execute quick kick right then and there.
 The trick worked to perfection. The Detroit receiver. after rum ming about 10 steps to pull in the Holy Cross -tacklers. and safety man, suddenly stopped in his tracks, booted the ball, and there was Holy Cross in a tight spot. Instead of Detroit having the ball on about the 30-yard line in it's own terrHory, Holy Cross had the bell behind its own 10 yard stripe.
 After that, Detroit walked right through the Crusaders, who never recovered from that surprise at lack.
 The class in psychology will now bome to order.
