Legal Boxing Near
In ArLi10tOn COHv1tU

Enactment soon Of an ordinance
to allow boxing bouts In Airing
ton county, Va, seemed assured
today as many civic groups thcre
asked drafting Of the measure.
Several attempts have been
made in recent years to pass the
ordinance but all were defeated
mainly on the ground that the
ordinance would only condone
practical lawbreaking. That was
when the Virginia law allowed
only anna ateur boxing bouts.
Change in the law now permits
professional fights If county

How is it done? Cohen, who is
one of our leading independent
producers, says that everything
lies in the preparation. Most of
the pictures turned out by major
studios are started before the
scrips are completed. Nobody
knows exactly what will be done.
There isn't a camera turned on
one of Cohen's pictures until
every little detail has been set

isn't essential. and every score is
carefully timed so that it will not
run over the time allotted.

La,o of Fifty.Fifty|
Works in 100000
Tests With Pennies
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
ATHENS, Ga, June 5.-The under
lying law of $3.50 is o. X.
That's what Prof. Pope Hill, the
penny experimenter of the University
of Georgia, has found after 100000
tests.
Prof. Hill says, however. that he's
been somewhat misrepresented, being
called "penny-fiipper" when he
actually has been drawing pennies
from = can, an entirely different
process-so he says.
Several years ago the professor
placed 200 pennies in a can. A 100
Of them were dated 1919 and the re-
mainder 1920. They were weighed
on chemical balances and paired ac-
cording to weight. For each 1919
penny of a given weight there was
one 1920 penny of the same weight.
The 200 pennies were thoroughly
mixed and one coin was drawn and
its date recorded. It was returned to
the can. the pennies stirred and an
other coin withdrawn and its date
recorded
This was done 1o0,0 900 times.
Here's part of the result:
OF the 100000 draws, SOFAS came
out 1920, and 1855 we're 1919. THE
experiment" the professor said. "gives
very strong evidence that the under
lying law of half and half actually
does work out in practice"
Another mint studied was tho ,,ir,o
Der of runs"
1T one date came out six times in
succession we would call it a run of
six. or eight times in succession q
run of eight, etc." the professor says.
The theoritical number of runs of
one and two combined was $500.
The actual number 1880. The theo-
retical number of runs of three. four
and five is l0,938; the actual number
10.757.
'Of the runs greater than five, the
theoretical number is 1863 and the
actual number was 1887 and these ap-
parently check closely enough, but
there was rather elusive but at
times very strong suggestion that the
number of actual runs will not check
with the theoretical laws Further
study of my data will throw light on
this point"
The professor says the pulling out
of the can of 100000 pennies COM
pletes only the physical part of his
experiment to test the laws of proba-
bility. The record will furnish data
for years of further study.
