EUen SOLOns Laugh
At Ring Decision.
BrOUn Would Fire

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-There
was a fight decision in Madison
Square Garden the other eve
ming that made even the boxing
commissioners laugh, which
marked it the six-star final in
ludicrous' decisions. There have
been some funny ones around
here that couldn't even lure a
smile from the soulful solons.
did not see the fight. But
as a competent critic told it to
me, the losing boxer knocked
the winning boxer down three
times, cut his hair, shaved him,
filled his teeth, treated him to
a massage and hot towel-and
still heard the official verdict
20 against him. The officials
must have been put out because
he did not manicure the win
ner's finger nails.
Now I see where Commis-
sioner Bill Brown wants to fire
the offending referee. But what
of the judge who also voted for
the fellow who lost everything
but his appendix in the en-
counter?
What's sauce for one fellow
who is hired to give a fight to
q gander must be sauce for the
other gander too, mustn't it?
Or is the boxing commission
trying to be as funny and as
inconsistent as its officials. If
so it is undertaking no small
boys job.
One of the troubles with box
ing rules-of which there are
already 10000 too many in this
State-is that they never go
the whole way.
Back in Jim Farley's regime
as chairman of the commission,
they started out to kill the
silly low punch foul rule, which
was producing some of the
funniest and crudest pantomime
1t has ever been my unfortunate
duty to have to witness.
Cant Get Hurt
The kids in the streets knew
then, and still know now, that
with modern protectors it IS
hunanely impossible to hurt a
fighter with a low punch. But
did the commission go ahead
and say so and have it settled
and over with forever?
They did not. They left a
1oophole where if a fakir
couldn't win a fight Immediate
ly by yelling foul, he could win
it round by round that way.
The result has simply been
three or four foul claims in
every fight instead of one. It
has also succeeded in keeping
the boys on their feet, whereas
previously they were in such
horrible pain that they had to
be lifted by compassionate hands
and tenderly carried from the
ring.
One Of the reasons some of
us were loath to believe that
poor unfortunate Ernie Schaaf
was really hurt was that he
had seen so fakirs lugged away
and lowered over in that scene
Of phoney anxiety in so dress
ing rooms in the course of a
half dozen years.
Now it must be obvious to

THE AUTO REVIVING US

1t is considered bad taste these days to
make remarks about that mysterious cor
ner which we have been trying to turn for
so long time, for we are supposed to
have turned it definitely.
This belief is given considerable boil
steering by reports emanating from the
automobile manufacturers.
These are to the effect that the auto
using public has started buying again af-
ter a long period of stagnation and that
factories are swamped with orders rang
ing as high as so per cent above expecta-
tionS.
For the first time in many months or
ders are ahead of production and the re-
ports advise that this condition will ex-
ist for some time to come, judging from
ell Indications
All this is indeed good news. Pros
perity in the automobile business means
prosperity in many other lines, for the
ramifications of the industry are innum-
cradle
Perhaps our efforts to round that cor
ner failed to be successful for so long
because we were trying to do it on our
feet when we should have used a car.

POOR OLD UNCLE SAM!

Credit of the United States government
is tottering on the brink ready to plunge
into chaos. We're financially broke
and ruined nation and it is about time we
started picking out soft spot on the ash
heap so that we may have minimum of
comfort in our misery.
That's what the pessimists have been
telling US. When it was recently an
nounced that Uncle Sam was out to bor-
row 10 billion dollars, before the end of
May, the sentiments expressed in the first
paragraph were voiced by many, includ-
ing highly esteemed men in the financial
world
Yesterday morning Uncle Sam totter-
ed into the financial market to see what
sort of offers he could get for that first
billion he must borrow. He couldn't offer
very much, being the broke and decrepit
old wreck that he is-nothing better than
2l2 per cent treasury notes for 1872
months for half the billion and 11a per
cent treasury certificates for ~ months
on the other half.
The poor old man really was deserving
of pity, trying to peddle junk like that,
but contrary to the prevailing opinion
that this is hard-hearted old world,
there still seem to be quite a number of
persons who have pity among their at
tributes.
They began to help out the poor old
man. By noon it seemed as though he
were doing fairly we'll and along in the
afternoon the old man was grinning bit
By night he was laughing his head Off
Had he sold his billion dollars worth
of junk? Yes sir, he certainly had and
then some.
He had only half billion of the treas
ury notes to sell-those pitying him off
cred him S2,50O,OO0OOO He had an
other half billion of treasury certificates
and got offers totaling 81 900, 100000 for
them.

FEDERAL MEN
EXPLAIN WORK

H. C. Gerrish, chief of patrol in
spection of the U. S. immigration
service, was the speaker at the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce yes
terday noon and gave highlights OF
the border patrol, which was estab-
| lished in 1924 when the immigra-
ton quota law now in effect was
| first passed. The Federal Immigra-
ton service was first established in
1882, prior to which time each state
| took care of its own immigration
| matters.
The primary function of the bor-
der patrol, according to the speaker,
is to prevent illegal entry of aliens
or the entry into the United States
of any contraband goods. 1t also pre-
vents moving of arms which are
banned into Mexico and assists fed
eral agencies and civil peace Off
GERS in apprehending criminals, in
enforcing the white slavery act,
narcotic acts, and is returning de-
serters from the army or navy.
The area covered by the 38 men
in this division is from the Nevada
California line south on a line 40
miles east of the Arizona California
| state line, west to the San Diego
Imperial county line and from the
border as far north as Kern coun-
| ty. The patrol is made by automo-
bile principally, although horses and
airplanes are used when necessary
The speaker stated that the person.
| mel of the border patrol came from
| all businesses and professions with
ex-service men predominating. As
each member is placed on his cwn
responsibility, the individuals are
| chosen for initiative and unless they
! have the necessary qualities to make
| a success of the work, they do not
remain in the service.
Support Pledged
The Ell Centre payroll OF the bor-
| der patrol is $4,000 a month and, as
most of the men live in the city the
money is almost entirely spent in
Ell Centre. Our men support this
community" stated Gerrish, but we
cannot exist without the support OF
| the people of the community, ano
we ask that you give us this sup
port
At the conclusion of Gerrish'S
talk w. H. Tyler, Jr., president OF
ehe Ell Centro Chamber, pledged the
support of the business men OF E
Centre to the members of the Bor-
der patrol. R. B. WhitelaW, Dorsey
Whitelaw and Don Bitler each spoke

troll on the type of men which
make up its personnel.
Austin Spurlock, immigration
chief in Calexico, spoke briefly OF
the work done there, and he wa!
followed by VIM. Hewson, deputy
collector in charge of customs II
Calexico, who stated that agricul'
tural imports across the line hae
dropped to almost nothing because
of the low prices prevailing ano
high tariffs. The land below the in.
| ternational line is now used princl'
lpally for growing wheat and cot
ton, which is used in Mexico rather
than being imported by the Uniteo
States

"Yes, they always do" said Nurse
Jane. "Oh, I'll make plenty of nice
hot pudding for them. I'll make
pailful."
This she did, stirring up eggs,
milk, rice, sugar and other good
things and baking the pudding in
the oven. When it was taken out,
Uncle Wiggily said
why, it looks just like a snow
pudding"
That's because I put a lot of
whites of eggs on top" said the
muskrat lady. 1T does look like a
snow pudding but it isn't. It's a
nice, hot rice pudding"
And when, after coasting until
nearly dark, the animal children ran
to the bungalow, how glad they
were to find big pail of hot pud-
ding ready and waiting for them.
"Hurray!" they cried. "Hurray!
Hurray!"
Three cheers for Uncle Wiggilyn'
barked Jackie Bow Wow.
| So they gave three cheers. Now
this jolly noise was heard by the

were passing the bungalow just
then. They saw an old Grow bird
fluttering around and asked what
the cheering was about.

| children to white pudding caWed

I'll get you some," said Uncle
Wiggily politely. He slipped out the
back door, filled a pail with white
; snow of which there was plenty, put
! three spoons in it, took it to the
| Bad Chaps and said: Here's your
/ pudding!" Thinking it was hot rice
pudding, the Bad Chaps gobbled big
bites of it. But when the cold snow
got in their mouths it made thei,
teeth ache SO that they howled
, Vow! Scow! Bowl" and away
they ran not stopping to nibble any
one.
So everything happened for the
! best. And if the butter doesn't play

Dear Mr.. Mackey:
The communities in southern Ari-
zona and Southern California have
been considering for long time the
need of an information bureau in
LordSburg, New Mexico, to distri-
butte information and literature and
thus increase travel over the Broad
way It is possible that the parties
most interested in the route in these
states may be willing to erect and
maintain such station to dissem-
mate literature on the Broadway Il
we can have the sanction of the
Broadway of America.
Will you please advise, if these
plans materialize and if the COM
munities on the route would erect
such a bureau and maintain it, if
the project would have the official
sanction of the Broadway of Amer
ca association, with the proviso, OF
course, that the general organiza-
ton assume no financial RESPONSE
bility whatever. We should be glad
of an early response.
We think that not only would this
station permit greater travel on the
Broadway of America, but it would
do much TO start the communities
in the two western states, located
on the road, working together for
the common good which would re-
suit from greater use of the Broad

YELLOW FEVER
MAY BE CURED
BY NEW SERUM

PASADENA, Jan. 25. U.P)-Sci-
ence at last has conquered yellow
fever, disease that once extracted
t0ll of thousands of human lives
each year.
The claim was made by DR..
George E. Vincent, former president
OF the Rockefeller foundation and
one time president of the University
of Minnesota, in an address last
night before a scientific group at
the California Institute of Technol-
ogy.
Several lives were lost before an
immunizing serum was developed
that has proved itself a cure in the
dreaded disease, Dr. Vincent said.
After eight years of experimental
ton, conducted by the Rockefeller
foundation, he said, scientists found
that white mice could be used in
developing the serum. Previously a
somewhat rare and costly species OF
white monkey had been employed
in the experiments.
According to DR.. Vincent, the i'm
munizing serum was developed by
inoculating the virus successfully in
100 white mice to weaken it to the
extent that it can be inoculated in
human beings. Quick recovery was
reported from patients inoculated
with the weakened serum and a
similar amount of convalescent SER
um, the speaker said.
Although yellow fever once ran
rampant in tropical countries, it has
been all but stamped out by remov-
ing the source of contagion. Mos
quitoes are usually blamed as con-
veyors of the disease.

asked the pig.

Then may I take your sled?'
asked the pig,
yes, but don't break it," begged
Uncle Wiggily. You are very fa'

"Oh, I am as light as a snowflake

the pig.
Uncle Wiggily wasn't quite sure
about this but he knew he must be
polite and let the pig take the sled
