Tony's Mighty Right
Makes Fans Happy

Here the opponent, perhaps over
tired from piIing up points, relaxes for
a sympathetic moment. There Is a
scant opening. The Newark Nightstick
is Ieveled upon defenseless lug.
Mr.. Galento puffs, dabs daintily at
the beads of sweat upon his chest and
then glances at the victim squirming
upon the canvas. Sometimes then there
is disdainful CLEAN in his eyes but 1t
is not for the weakness of this victim
who, a moment ago, was doing so well.
Rather Mr.. Galento is rubbing his own
right hand, telling it that it ought to
be ashamed of itself having to take
two swishes before it could convince
a mere 230-pounder such as Young
Hippo to stay tagged.
II is at such moments that Mr..
calento and his audience are happlest.
Perhaps his delicate pinkies have not
yet been planted under enough jaws to
merit such intimate esteem as caused
an entire nation to hail Frank Moran's
maulie as Mary Ann. Yet, for all that
there may be people who love and
honor him for other more enduring
qualities, it is only because he has that
riuht hand that Mr.. Galento can charm
an audience into paying real money
for the chance Of being happy.
Therein also is the reasOn-far more
than any prejudice against the rights
of the foreign born Schmelings, Neusels
and Paulinos to take satchels full of
gold out of this country-why the audi
ence seems to crave him as LOuis's
next opponent.
Probably the fight would be very
bad one. Louis, the best boxer among
the heavyweights of the day, should
outpoint him with ease. Possibly Louis,
who hits almost as hard as Detroit's
other idol, Hank Greenberg, might also
knock him out. Yet, even though the
League of Nations might persuade
Ethiopia and italy to revert to the an
cient custom of settling their own mass
troubles by this one test, It Is rather
evident that it is fight that never will
take place.
mention this for the benefit of those
citizens who have been wasting so
many stamps while calling attention TO
their eagerness to lay it on the line for
Santa Claus. The reasons should be
obvious even though l personally think
that, If left to his own devices, Joe
Louis would welcome such chance.
Louis Is a million dollar fighter.
GaIento probably could fetch $3.50 II
the market happened to be in buying
mood. Joe probably could be writing
his life story with one hand while out
pointing Tony with the other. But

Porters Who Shoulder
Burden of Half a Ton

To become porter in the Central
Markets Of Paris one must pass dras-
tic weight-carrying tests. One such
is to walk the whole length of the
market carrying at least 400 pounds
on the back. Would-be porters must
show also that they are capable Of
carrying, for shorter distance, half
an OK, weighing about 500 pounds.
The knack of balancing various
kinds of burdens has to be painstak-
ingly acquired. Several of the star
porters can carry 900 pounds-more
than quarter Of ton. Standing
still, some of them can hold across
their shoulders a burden of half a
ton.-Pearso9's Weekly.

Shakeup Expected
Students of the law school, how
ever, said there had been rumors
of an impending shakeup during
the past school year, due to a con-
flict in administrative policies.
Saying the issue was one for the
rector and executive council to de-
eide, members of the faculty
pointed out that administrative
changes always are made at this
time of year, following the close
of the spring semester. It was
learned that several other changes
are contemplated among the fac
ulty members.
Several professors will be retired
because of age, it was said, and
others will be assigned to new
posts. There is no general Shakeup
planned, faculty members said,
but merely the usual annual
changes.

L DUCE SPURNS
PEACE OFFER"
BY BRITAIN
Captain Eden Reveals England
Offered to Give Abyssinia
Part of SomaIiIand

LONDON, July 1. G.N.S).
Great Britain suggested giving
Abyssinia a small piece of terri
tory in British Somaliland as
means of settling the Italo-Abys'
sinian dispute, it was disclosed in
the House of Commons today.
Anthony Eden, British diplomat,
in his recent conference with
Premier Mussolini, pointed out to
II Duce that acceptance by Italy
would facilitate permanent
settlement, he told Parliament,
but the Italian Premier fatty re.
fused.
Captain Eden's declaration dis.
closed for the first time the extent
to which Britain was willing to go
to lay the groundwork for perma-
nent settlement of the dispute
which threatens to provoke war
this fall.
It was generally known Britain
had made some sort of proposals
and that Mussolini had declined
all of them, but revelation II Duce
had actually refused to consider
one which involved considerable
sacrifice on the part of England
caused surprise. -
One of the chief causes of fric.
ton between Italy and Abyssinia
has been that the latter has no
access to the sea. With this
gained by ceSsion of part of Brit
ish Somaliland, Captain Eden was
hopeful Italy would see fit to
undertake negotiations aimed at
settlement of other potential
causes of conflict.
The strip of land offered as a
concession to Italy would have
given Abyssinia access to the sea.
Captain Eden pointed out. He
said:
"The proposal was intended
to facilitate such territorial
and economic concessions by
Abyssinia to Italy as might be
involved in an agreed settle
ment.
"The British asked no cOnces.
siOns in return except grazing
rights in territory which might
be coded to Italy.
"MussOlini was unable to &C.
cept the suggestion as a basis
for solution of the dispute"
