This is something new in the an
mails of British justice. The missing
piece of ear had to be measured and
weighed according to the best math-
ematical standards before they could
determine how long to keep Mr..
Brown on the rock pile. The case also
is new in the history of British pugil-
ism. No other champion sof England
has attacked a foe with the dental

Admitted Cheese Champions"


lNl gether with Mr.. Bombardier
Billy Wells, are the most distin-
guished survivors of the horizontal era
in British pugilism. None of them
would have reacted to an insult in the
rufianly manner of Jackie Brown. In
the first place, the epithet cheese
champion" would not be enough to
ruffle their tempers. They would ac-
cept it as a statement Of historical
fact.
Worse names than cheese cham
pion" have been hurled at all three OF
them by their opponents in the ring.
Usually, they reacted by swooning to
the canvas, where they reposed in a
perfectly PROSTATE position until re-
moved from the premises by derrick,
block and pulley. The swoon, or dive,
is the natural reaction of British
champion to physical or verbal vio-
lence.
There are many variations of this
spring board reflex. You will find
most of them illustrated in the careers
of MeSSrs. Beckett, Wells and Scott.

"Get Mr.. So-and-So, please" he in
structs the White House switchboard.
He mods to a man on the nearest sofa
to come forward, and listens to his plea
until interrupted by ring: The Mr..
So-and-So for whom he asked is now
on the wire.
Mac swings his chair, putting his back
to the room. This Mr.. So-andSo sits
in high place in the administration, and
the message that is to go to him now
must be adroitly put.
Here's thought" Mac begins in
tone that is both ingratiating and i'm
pressive; "a thought the boss asked me
to pass on to you. Now that that mat
ter is decided Mr. Blank, anxiously wait
ing up there in his home town, would
be mighty well pleased if he heard about
it direct from you. That is, right now
when the conference has just ended
and before the newspapers are on the
street telling the result of the confer
ence. There is, you see, possibility of
his misinterpreting the facts So, If you
could take time now to get him by long
distance and tell him the straight story,
all about what it really means, he'd be
for the plan 100 per cent That's it
exactly! Fine! o. K, I'll tell the boss
you'll have Mr. Blank on the wire within
the next five minutes. He'll be de-
lighted"
As EASY as that-and once more,
through the diplomacy of Mac and
the boss, big cog in the great wheel
of national business is won over to Mr..
Roosevelt's side Of a proposition and
made a powerful supporter of the ad-
ministration.

In pineapple juice was also a sulphydryl COM
pound related to those with which we had ex-
perimented. So our next step was to spray
the fruit with pineapple juice. The result was
the same as with the chemicals, so far as
inhibiting the color formation was concerned.
This fruit. dried after spraying with pine
apple juice, was covered with thin film of
dry residue from the juice. do not see that
this is Objectionable. But it may be quite
easily avoided by first fermenting the juice,
removing the yeast and alcohol, and using the
greatly purified liquid in the spraying process.
The alcohol recovered more than pays for the
cost of this chemical treatment"
Dried apples, treated with pineapple juice,
have been held in the laboratory for many
months In order to have fair comparison
with fruits as now handled in the commercial
field These apples are just as white now as
they were when the treatment was first made
While most Of Balls and Hales work has
been done with apples, the method appears
to work well with many other fruits and
vegetables. "It should be understood" DR..
Balls adds, "that we have not been able to
try it out on other fruits and vegetables
sufficiently to make too definite a statement.
We have to do more work on that"
This new discovery has vast commercial pos
sibilities. In 1881, according to the census
Of manufactures, there were produced A

Beer Claims Watched

A I1sIEADINo beer labels have come under
w the watchful eye of the Federal Food and
Drugs Administration In particular those that
attempt to indicate a higher alcoholic content
than they really possess are under fire.
A complaint was made against New Orleans
brewery which printed ON its label mot more
than per cent alcohol the "six" being con-
spicuously large. As a matter Of fact, the label
was true for the beer actually contained less
than four per cent.
In another instance, a beer Of six per cent
was labeled twelve proof" the twelve" being
large and the proof small. Many purchasers
are not aware that the proof figure is just
double the alcoholic content by volume
The Food and Drug Administration, of
course, has no control over the alcoholic con-
tent of beverages, but it can and does step in
when labels are misleading or untrue. One
prominent brewer, protesting against mislead-
ing labels. declared that the difference Of a
per cent or two in the alcoholic content is Of
no consequence, but that misleading state
nents lead too many purchases tor beer ap-

The phone rings again. Bear in
mind, too. that only the urgent calls for
Mcintyre are allowed to reach him. On
one crowded day the White House oper-
ators counted 500 attempts to get him

Mac, imperturbable, picks up the re-
ceiver again and talks on the wire, as
nonchalant and cool as If that was the
only task confronting him. Before he
completes the gesture of replacing the
receiver the Representative begins once
more, talking fast now to beat the next

him in tone that carries to everybody
On the room.
Ten o'clock. The boss is waiting for
me-"
He goes through the door on his right,
into the Presidents Office. Half an hour
passes, the silence broken only by the
buzzing of the phone, which goes unan-
swered. The door from the lobby opens
and shuts, opens and shuts, admitting
callers until they number 18 men and
8 women.
A newspaper correspondent comes in,
sees visitor whom he knows, inquiries:
MAC in with the boss?"
Mac returns, just in time to answer
ring from that haunting telephone.
Hello, Harry" Hopkins, the big shot
OF Federal relief work, is at the other
end of the wire.
Whats that, Harry? Four million
pay checks to be written and signed in
side of two weeks! Ye gods, that's as
many as we had in the World War!
You say they think it's their job because
they can do it best? All right. Let the
other bureau do it if that's your judg-
ment. Want me to put it up to the
boss? Again you're right, Harry. He's
got plenty to worry about without this.
Sure, I'll take the responsibility without
putting it up to him. Wen let it go
that way then. When you think it's
right, 7 know it's right. So what's the
use of hemming and having about it?
o. K. Go to it,
THUS Mac, relying 100 per cent on
- Hopkins initiative and counsel, saves
the President the trouble of solving a
highly controversial administrative prob
lem. Incidentally, he assumes joint re-
sponsibility for job which, if it goes
wrong, will cause no end of grief and
subject the secretary to harsh and
bruising criticism
But to Mac it is merely one more
item in the hot-spot routine. Pausing
only long enough to light cigarette "a
frequent gesture with him), he turns to
the next visitor, already seated on the
Straight-backed chair.
From that hour, 10:30, until pm
he goes against the unending line of
visitors and the bombarding telephone,
escaping now and then for brief dis
appearances into Mr.. RooSevelt's Office.
And he never turns hair; his splendid

"Ye-ah?" Mac relapses into the ver-
nacular, and gives the man on his right
a wink. cat another time when friend
asked him how he handled this secre-
tarial work with such apparent ease, he
replied: 1.-The old sense of humor, fair
sir. It's great stuff Try it some time.)
He apologies now for leaving the con-
sultant with his request half spoken:
"Wait just minute, won't you, while I
see what the importunate gentlemen
want"
Thirty seconds later he is seated ON
the long table in the lobby, swinging
his heels like a schoolboy, one moment
getting off wisecrack and laugh, the
next listening with absorbed and solemn
mien, while the indignant delegation
puts on a fine imitation of BabePs con-
fusion of tongues reviewing its crouch
and demanding speech with Mr..
Roosevelt.
But they are licked before they start.
They go without seeing the President.
and they go smiling.
Comes 2 o'clock, time for lunch. The
boss" has already had his at his desk,
and is now debating to his personal
stenographer.
Mac, hanging up the receiver (by
actual count he has been on the tele-
phone Al times SO far today, glances
around and sees that seven visitors are
yet to be dealt with. He knows trick
that will make short work of them. In
stead of their coming to him, he goes to
them.
He steps over to the politician on the
sofa at his right, takes his hand, turns
with him toward the window, the move
creating confidential atmosphere. All
that the others hear is: Jack, what've
you got on your mind? Can you spill
it in a minute or two?"
Jack, with Macs help, spills it-in
far fewer words than he had thought
possible. Making the circle of the room,
pausing where each one sits, the Sec
retary takes them on in turn, disposing
of their business, evidently to the salts
faction of all, judging by the trail Of
smiles he leaves.
THE last caller is the Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury, Lawrence Wood
Robert, jr, with whom he has an ap-
pointment to lunch.
"Come on, Chip" Mac says, lighting
the inevitable cigarette. Lets go eat
eat a lot! I'm hongry, as they say
down South"
In spite of the punishment he has
taken, he looks as well groomed, as cool
and tranquil as when the day started.
"It's wonder to me your ribs are
not falling it," comments Chip, who has
been waiting and watching him work
for the past hour. How in thunder do
you stand this pace?"
"Oh, that wasn't bad," the colonel
replies, and turns to his secretary. How
many were there this morning, Kannee?"
Counting the delegation in the lobby"
Kannee reports, something over CO."
Over 60 visitors in person, and Al tele-
phone conversations; more than 100
chances to say the wrong thing, but
not one error scored against him.
After lunch this same smiling, un-
ruffled Mac-suave, smooth and delib-
erate-will do it all over again. Whether
he quits at $50 or 7:30 pm, or comes
back for several hours after dinner, will
depend on how much work has accumu-
lated; for "the boss" the most powerful
man in the world, likes to leave a
cleaned-up desk behind him when he
calls it day.

ed at the regular meeting of the city
council Monday night.
Twelve or IA men will be given
work on the project, probably under
the direction of R. F. Byram. The
council believes it will take about six
weeks to complete the work, after
materials arrive. Work on the sewer
line to the site of the plant is almost
completed.

permission to operate popcorn stand
on the south side of the Philbrick
building was delayed until it is GER
tain whether parking space will be

very Matzner to operated one on the
sidewalk in front of his Coffee Shop.
The appointment of lifeguard for
Lake Redwood was tabled because of
the uncertainty about swimming at
the lake this summer. 1t was report
ed to the council that the lake level
will be dropped nearly 10 feet during
the construction of the bridge.
