REOPENS

After everal weeks recess the

continue the remainder of the
season.
This announcement was made
by Lonnie KrauSs, boss OF the
upper Fourteenth street pin
plant when last week inquiries
began to pour in from many OF
the women who had taken les
sons before the holidays.
AS one beginner put it:
81 started rolling this year
with several girls in my office.
We knew little about how to
bowl, but it was interesting
pastime. We threw more balls
in the cutters than we kept
on the alleys.

and were highly elated over 1t.
We were back the next week.
It's really a kick when you
can jump your score consist

"In as much as the instruc.
tiOnS are free and you have to
pay only for the games you roll.
Mr.. KrauSs should be commend
ed for his interest in aiding new
bOWlerS."

be many more who would like
to be taught the proper way to

A grim tragedy in which Baer,
a 2l-year-old boy and eager to
achieve greatness in his chosen
profession, the ring, was an inno-
cent tool of Fate.
It came at moment when the
Livermore fisticuffer had taken a
big step toward his goal, k. o.
win over the champion of his
State, frankie Campbell.
But victory for the curly headed
mauler spelled death for his rival.
Max can never forget it. 1t
haunts him wherever he goes.
Those partly smoked cigarette
stubs are grisly souvenirs of that
narrowing incident.
Up to that time, Max, ambitious
to keep in top shape, never
touched cigarette.
Campbell'S death. the inquest, a
grief stricken widow and her
eightmonths-old baby, the pub
licity, coupled with cartoons that
lampooned him as a murderous
gorilla, overwhelmed the impress
sionable young boxer with horror.
Runs Away
It was too much for him. He
ran away to Reno New, a victim
Of the jitters. He found that
cigarettes helped to soothe his
badly wrought-up nerves. He gave
up all ideas of fighting again.
He sought refuge from his
haunting memories in the mar
riage which lasted only a few
years. But it helped him get back
on an even keel.
In time the nightmare wore off
and under the commonsense and
gentle guidance of his manager
Ancil Hoffman, he came back to
the ring.
| But it wasn't the same rollick-
ing, reckless Baer. Campbells
death and his sufferings because
of it had matured him. Life had
taken on a deeper meaning for
him. He realized that boxing was
a dangerous game and that
tragedy stalked it's trail.
He fights as fiercely and un-
relentlessly as before for he loves
the game, and it is the law of the
ring to fight until you drop.
But he is considerate of his
foes. He knows that they are hui
man beings like himself. making
a living in a dangerous paStime
and anxious to please their public.
In his fight with Max Schmel-
ing last year when he saw the
German floundering around help
lessly, he held back a finishing
punch, and sighed with relief
when the referee stepped in and
stopped the fight.
Great Sorrow
The look Of a man overcome by
a great sorrow creeps into Baer'S
eyes when he recalls frankie
Campbell's fight. Says he:
"Frankie was a splendid chap
and in the pink of condition.
Both of us were anxious to win
and we went at it hammer and

change we both slipped and fell.

Report New Death Ray;
to broadcast" Disease

Announcement has been made that
a new death ray has been discov-
cred by British scientists. Here Is
something, provided the scientists
have made no mistake, which should
bring peace with a vengeance. Mean
while we must be content with the
novelty of the thought. Not that the
thought is original, but at last we
have some reason to believe that it
soon may be translated into practical
form.
The alleged ray Is devilish enough
to satisfy the most exacting and re-
fined homicidal complex. 1t can, If
reports are true, be employed to
transmit the terminating qualities of
bacteria over great distance, or, to
put it more succinctly, to broadcast
disease.
Just picture to yourself the pres
tige of an operator who could send
some deadly affliction from England
to France, or even to America, while
sitting safely in little cage at Lon
don.
His prestige wouldn't last very
long, of course, because the whole
world would set out to find a pre-
ventive. There must be preventive,
you realize, otherwise this death ray
would have exterminated all of us
long ago.
Finally, and most consoling, the
reported discovery may be just some
more bunk. Every so often we hear
about the advent of new death
ray. No less than a dozen have
been advertised since the World war,
but somehow they have failed to ma
terialize.
The strangest part of it all is that
men should continue to hunt for a
death ray, just as if the race were
not already in possession of suf-
ficient number of variety of murder
GUS devices.
Obviously, the killer complex still
f1ourishes. Though somewhat squeam-
ish about messy, old-fashiOn meth
DDS of slaughtering each other we
are not prepared to give up the
basic idea. What we really crave is
refinement on the one hand and a
reduction of risk on the other. Re
pugnance to the ancient style Of
hand to hand combat has played
some part in perfecting war engines.
You don't get the intimate reac-
lions from dropping gas bomb or
poisoning a water system that you
do from seeing a foe die at your
feet, nor does the prospect of get
ting killed by bit Of stray vapOr
or an unwary drink seem half so
disagreeable as that of expiring I'M
der the bloodshot eyes Of an en-
ragged enemy.
A flood in China does not seem
half as horrible as one close at home
which should reveal the comfort
of broadcasting death. 1t would take
the sting out of strife if we could
sit safely down on this side of the
Atlantic while sending death by air
to people on the other side. Nc
doubt they would return us the com

Banner of the Alamo
Nav Return to Texas

The historic banner of the Texan
volunteers, who defended the Alamo
against the onslaught of Gen. Santa
Ana's troops in 1887, may be re-
turned to Texas if the efforts of
Texas patriotic societies are sue
cessful. The banner has been in a
glass case in the National Museum
of Mexico for nearly century.
Once of brilliant sky blue, it is dis
integrading and fading despite the
protection of the museum case.
The flag was captured by the
Fourth attack column, commanded
by Col. Juan Morales, who later fig
ured prominently in resisting Amer
lean orders to evacuate Vera Cruz
in 1S47. The column was made up
of the old Seventh and Twelfth In
fantry regiments in what was known
as the Jimenez battalion, with sew
eral companies of snipers and caval-
ry troops. 1t advanced on the Ala
mo, defended by the Texan volun-
teers, after Texas had declared its
independence Of Mexico.
In the first assault on the Alamo,
from the flagpole of which flew the
banner, three color sergeants of the
Mexican army were shot to death
while attempting TO remove the BAN
ner and replace it with the Mexican
tri-color. The banner has on it the
inscriptions: "First Company of
Texan Volunteers. God and Liber-
ty. From New Orleans"

Interesting Point in
Ascertaininp Real Age

DR.. Serge Voronoff, the eminent

belief that he has perfected method
Of physical examination which will es-
tablish ones exact age. Apparently
1t Is not the method used with q
tree, Of saving through the trunk
and counting the rings, for Faro
Agha, the ancient Turk, has consent
ed to undergo it, or so the United
Press has reported from Istanbul
1t will be interesting to learn the
result of the examination. FARO Agha,
1t may be remembered, came to this
country four years ago as a sub
sidiZed exhibit of what total absti-
hence did for a person.
A different recipe for longevity
was that of Mrs. Belle Rhymes, of
Savannah, Ca, who died a short time
ago at the reputed age of one hun
dred and twenty-three years. She
attributed her survival to the fact
that she had smoked a pipe since
she was eleven years old. Some
what along the same line was the
testimony of Peter Pollen, of Trini-
dad, who celebrated his one hun
dredth birthday by diving into a
rushing stream and swimming thirty
FIVE yards under water. In the
tropics, he advised, drink rum and
smoke a pipe.

determine scientifically not only how
old such human antiquities were, but
why, it would spare us many con-
royersy.-Literary Digest. ..r..
