A Book a Day
Had Her Six Lovers Carry Her to Grave
 pv RRJICE, CAPTION

Leah Steinart had always been
 gay and unconventionaL and when,
 dying, she left orders that six men
 known to have been her lovers
 should act as her pallbearers. the
 West Coast town where she lived
 got pretty excited about it.
 This is the situation that opens
 Nard Jones' novel, "All Six Were
 Lovers" It provides the novelist
 with an excellent means of telling
 the stories of these six men--who
 had nothing in common save that
 they had all, at one time or an-
 other, loved the same woman---
 and it results in vivid and skill fully drawn picture of smail-city life.
 The fact of the woman's death had some strange and unlooked-fO effects on the lives of some of the men who had loved her. Indirectly, it set off chain of events that kept one man from losing his fortune through bank ruptcy, proceedings. It provided just the impetus that was needed | to land another man in jail on a charge of murder. It sent still au- other of the six to the arms of 8 woman he had not seen for 20 years.
 It conditioned the way in which another reacted to the news that | his daughter had eloped with q young farmer. It confirmed an- other in his feeling of aged lone- | lfness, and 1t made great diff ference in the way the sixth man faced an unexpected and tragic domestic crisis.
 Now all this, as you can see, makes a slightly tangled story, and ! 1t speaks we'll for MT Jones' skill | that he has kept all his threads separate and made all his charac- l lters distinctive and life-like. He | has written, in fact. a very real able and intelligent novel, and think vou'lf enjoy 1t.

ingenious plan for solving the House Speakership problem.
 With the anticipated tight ! ening of party lines next session. the speakership becomes most important. The administration will need strong, dependable / hand at the helm.
 In inner administration circles Floor Leader Joe Byrns, who ardently covets the job, is not the most desirable choice.
 The presidents advisers pri- vately favor Representative Sam Rayburn, chairman of the House Interstate Commerce committee. Able, experienced, decisive, and in the full confidence of. the president, Rayburn repeatedly has been called on to rescue the administration most import ant measures, always produced 100 per cent results.
 Rayburn's election to the spcakership would be assured if the President were to intimate his support.
 But Roosevelt-on the sur face at least--is adhering to his alleged policy of not intervening in intra-party affairs. So some of his counsellors have proposed the following formula for elect ing Rayburn without breaking his hands-off rule: 1 Byrns would be appointed director of the budget, recently vacated by Lew Douglas. From Appropriations Committee he has the experience necessary for the post.
 Byrns' departure from the House would give Rayburn an impregnable position, make his elevation to the speakers chair certain. RIGHT MAN
 Francis Browne. prominent Capital attorney, has another reason why Byrns won't be speaker.
 Meeting the heavy-eye- -browed Tennessean the other day, he said:
 "Well, Congressman, I see you're running for Speaker, but there's not much chance of your getting it."
 why not?" asked Byrns a little irritated.
 "Well, I've been watching the democrats s for fifty years now. and I've, never seen 'em pick the right man yet"

Selected Poem
THE KIND SHADOWS

THE KIND SHADOWS
 .(Bert Cookslev in The New York sun.) Now has the tired heartpace come to be
 A peaceful house where many shadows are Molested never. sleeping peacefully
 CIoaking in dust It's patch-and weather-scar Shadows grown cool and gray with solitude.
 Brothers to silence. friends to weariness; From porch and roof and room they bar the rude The brazen and the loud and their distress. The heart has come to love its smoky veil
 The dim and quiet comfort shadows bring As vague as midnight echoes and frail: Has grown to love the house where even Spring. Scattering colors tiptoes past the gate, Too gay to enter and too wise to wait.

New Haven's municipal golf course re- ceipts are going to be less this year than in 1888, reports in the Elm City indicate. Last year, too, the golf course had a $500 defi- cit. We don't think Waterbury will show a report like this for it's city golf course. It has. been we'll patronized and is more than paying for itself in recreational re- turn if not in dollars and cents.

Rsvsrss The Situation

It is a commendable task to which Motor Vehicle Commissioner Michael A. Cdnnor turns himself in creating Volun- teer Motor Patrol to end all careless driving in Connecticut. It follows right along in the path of past recommenda- tions that he has made to the driving pub lie about operating in safe manner and in informing the other driver of his sins of commission or omission.
 Now operators may secure from the de- partment in Hartford certificates of care full operation and certain insignia which will give them. the right to report on the actions of their fellowman when he or she is behind the wheel of the motor vehicle. It is right that should be guarded zeal ously. It is one that should not be tres passed upon in any manner whatsoever.
 When volunteers were first called upon to report violations of, the laws on the. highways we ventured the opinion that some people might consider this splendid opportunity to get in bit of spite work. The campaign evidently has revealed little of this for which we are extremely grate- full that in this instance our surmise was wrong. We still continue to hope, though, that the Volunteer Motor Patrol will be guided by sane reasoning.
 Sometimes violation of the rules of the road is unavoidable and excusable. Cir cumstances alter cases. Don't be precip- itate in judging drive guilty of wrong doing. Carelessness, of course, should not be countenanced Neither should recklessness Differentiate between the wilful offender and the victim of "bad breaks" Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Think of the reverse of the situation before reporting your man.

It will be interesting to see just how much the Pennsylvania Legislature ac- complishes in it's special session just called by Governor Pinchot. It was called for the express purpose of dealing with unemploy- defray the session is as yet unaccounted for. At first it was claimed by those who wanted "short" session some months ago that liquor store receipts would pay for it. Just now, we'll, the boys who stirred up all the fuss are bit concerned about this latter feature. The governor has a plan of his own for relieving distress in the state. It may be presented after the numerous others proposed by the mem- bers of the Legislature have had their innings. We're not convinced the session will succeed in it's purpose. s

Wrestler Willing to Risk Most Anything But His Belt
land Not Past

and won himself a belt for beating
Londos in the final of an elimina-
ton title tournament in Phila-
delphia. He held his belt a shorter
time than any other champion.
Getting off train in Chicago the
next day, he climbed into a taxi
cab, and when he climbed out
again he left the belt behind him.
It never was recovered or re-
placed.
New heights in ceremony were
reached in 1890, when Londos
took the title from Shikat and was
rewarded with a formal dinner,
given by Curley in New York. In
che middle Of the meal two walters
appeared with a fag-draped tray
upon which reposed Londos' new
belt. It was the most ornate Of
them all, costing Curley some
$4,000.
Despite the various claims, Jim
Browning is most generally recog-
nized today as heavyweight cham
pion, and he, too, has Q belt

have but Shikat.. Carelessness

eral notches. A fund was raised
from the penny subscriptions of
the school children of Nebraska,
and in 1916 the Governor of the
State presented the belt to Joe on
the steps Of the Capitol in Lincoln,
amid proper pomp and ceremony.
Tex Rickard added another
touch by establishing a heavy
weight championship wrestling
belt, which he presented to STAN
islaus Zbyszko, the elder, in 1915,
q beautiful emblem with "a huge
buckle in front, adorned with dia-
monds. zbyszko promptly took the
belt to Europe, placed it in vault
and always was forgetting to bring
it back, even after he lost his title
claims.
Then Jack Curley appeared as
the emir of wrestling herds.
Shortly thereafter he needed belt
for Valdez Zbyszko, younger
brother of the old champion, so he
bought another.
Dick Shikat ascended the title
throne in 1929 after interest had
dulled among the heavyweights

But in 1923 there came suddenly
upon this placid business a new
school of thought, Wayne Mum,
the giant Nebraskan, wrestled
Lewis in what was considered an
other in the ordinary run of title
bouts. Instead of the normal,
however, Mum went beserk, hurled
Lewis from the premises, and won
himself championship recognition.
Despite tremendous arguments,
Lewis never relinquished his belt,
and as far as any one knows he
still possesses 1t. His precedent
has been followed by all other
heavyweight champions. They
might lose their title claims and
frankly admit the fact. But giving
up the belt was another thing.
Starting way back, Frank Gotch
and his great European rival,
Hackenschmidt, never owned belts.
The fashion was founded when a
group of friends presented Charley
Cutler with a modest waistline
adornment in 1910.
The friends of Joe Stetcher,
the scissors king who succeeded
Cutler, advanced the custom sew

~ AN FRANCISCO. February
- 5.-Young Corbett. the
pleasant young Italian
~ from Fresno, who lost the
welterweight championship the
first time he defended it, comes
back to the fling tonight for a
whirl in the middleweight ranks.
He meets Babe Marino, squat, bull
necked San Franciscan, in l0-round
bout at the Civic Auditorium. If he
is successful in his first start-and
the betting fraternity believes he will
be to the extent of 3-to-l odds-he
will begin an active campaign in the
160-pound division.
Corbett lost his welterweight title
to Jimmy McLarnin in Los Angeles
by a one-round knockout last May
20. It was his first defense Of the
crown which he had won the pre-
ceding February % in San Francisco
from Jackie Fields by q 10round de-
cision.
Failing to negotiate a return match
with McLarnin, the Fresno left
handler announced his retirement
from the sport to become athletic in
structor to the California State high
way traffic patrolmen, a position he
still retains.
Since then Corbett has had q
change Of heart in the matter Of per-
manent retirement.
Making lat pounds for McLarnin
was a terrific strain" he said. Il
don't want to take a bit of credit
from Jimmy. because he is q great
fighter. But making weight weak
ened me a whole lot more than I
realized at the time. For a day and
a half before the fight I didn't have
enough to eat to keep a fly alive I
feel fine now and if I can't make
the grade this time III know just

The sons of Old Eli had won four

Both Of the pace-setters will swing
back into action Saturday, Yale in

How the Rules Are Divided.

NNE OF the first things to bear IN
~ mind about the rules Of golf Is
that there are at least three
different popular forms of competi-
ton: Single matches. three-ball and
four-ball matches and medal or stroke
play.
The original rules OF golf were
framed to cover play in single
matches. Then when medal play and
three-ball and four-ball matches
came into favor. it was discovered
that the original rules were not in
all cases suited to these new methods.
So, gradually, special rules we're
formed for governing exceptional
cases both for medal play and for
three-ball and four-bal matches.
Obviously, because of the difference
In conditions, special rules for these
different types of play varied from
and conflicted with the original rules.
And so they do to this day. One
point to be remembered is that where
such a conflict exists. the special rule
applies in its own field.
