A Southern white man writes:
81 see in you a true son of our
old South of the fine men and
women of both races whose devo-
ton has been an inspiration to all
who knew them whose beautiful
faith was as bright as the face of
God, and 1 shall see their God in
the ring with you to bless you and
give you victory"
From Salt Lake City comes a
fine letter from white attorney.
He says:
Il salute, respect and admire
you; wish you well. 1 do this not
primarily because I so like the kind
of fighter you are, and hope you
will continue to be, not because
you will win over Levinsky (by a
knockout, please), not because you
have powerful body which moves
like oiled lightning to destroy the
weak trash, the like of which re-

weight crown, but because con-
slider you the outstanding exponent
of this time of the best qualities of
your people.
''You truly represent that hon
esty, higness, riorality and SINGER
ity, the things the best people of
America, both black and white,
most dearly love.
What an unusual opportunity
is yours! Continue to expound
these fine virtues along with your
great fighting spirit and not only
will you be given the chance, but
you will win the heavyweight
championship in such a decisive
way that there viii be no doubt in
even the most prejudiced mind, but
you will win that stupendously big
ger fight, oh, such a grand fight
for your people.
you can be the cause for them
to be looked upon with more af-
lection, in a new and better light,
to be given greater opportunity.
There's million whites like
myself betting on you, Joe, to win
both fights decisively-the fight to
be champ, and the even greater
one, to continue to be the great
MAN we believe you are. You just
can't lose either battle.
And, Joe, as soon as you're the
champ, or before, if possible, I
want photograph of you to put
Oh my desk so that 1 can be over
whelming in my arguments with
my friends as to who is the great
est fighter for the past two de-
cades, why he is, or is gong to be,
champ, and why we couldn't have
finer representative in that ex-
allied position champion heavy
weight, and champion of his peo-
pie. Knock 'em over"

There seem to be as many, if not
more, interracial love affairs here
than one win find in New Yak
City. The white men seem to have
a weakness for colored women of
the lower element.
In several of the larger cities,
some of the colored underworld
brag about their white boy friends
and how much they give them.
Many of them declare openly that
these alliances are permanent.
The affairs between white wo-
men and colored men are not talk
ed about.
Hot as f.
1t is hot as down here. The
only thing that I dislike about the
state is the fact that one can drive
two and three hundred miles and
see nothing but blue sky, flat
plains, a red ball in the sky, and
not tree in sight.

Canadian Sourdoughs Seek
Legendary Cavern of God

One of the most amazing gold
hunts In Canada's mining history Is
planned by Alberta ~pr0spectors.
Without proof that 1t even exists,
hardened sourdoughs are planning
to hunt the many hills of the White
Court area for the legendary gold
cache of Old Moostas, seventy-nine-
year-old Indian. around whose
gnarled figure a legend of fabulous
riches and superstition was weaved
by pr~ospectors several years ago. At
that time he saved a tribe of Indians
from starvation by bringing back a
bag of gold' from the secret cache
In the hills.
Moostas believed that the gold was
put in the cache by the Great
Spirit" for use only in time of dire
need, and died without revealing
where 1t was. and refusing to tell
how he found it.
The cache Is believed to lie among
the hills In the White Court district.
1t is described as a 'prospect0r's
dream-a cave lined with pure gold"
The legend Is that although Moos-
tas knew of the existence of the
cache for years, he visited 1t on'S
once Several years ago, when an
Indian tribe In White Court district
faced starvation, Old Moostas hitched
up two ponies and went into the
hills.
Two days later, he walked into a
trading post at White Court, dumped
a poke" Of gold nuggets on the
counter and bought out the store.
He distributed the food and other
goods among the starving Indians,
and then retired to n lazy existence
on the Indian settlement.
Then started a long battle of wits
between prospectors and the old In
dian. For years white men tried to
wrest the secret from him. They
piled him with questions and made
many enticing offers, but the old In
dian rebuffed them with stoical ST.
lence. For months his every move
ment away from camp was closely
watched, but Moostas never visited
the cache again.

Hen May "Sit" or "Set"

"a hen sits or sets as you may

That is the dictum handed down

usage which has been puzzling In

1t started when Virgil Stinebaugh,

committee of teachers prepared a

Dog Defeats the Devil

A hight between a dog and the
devil, ending In the defeat of his
Satanic Majesty, has just been UNI
covered as n carving on one of the
bosses In the Cathedral of Exeter.
England, and Is written about by
the editor of The Cathedral Annual
as follows: The green, scaly, crop
cared, snarling creature with n dou-
Bile forked tongue, has flown In at
the window. But Rogers lop-eared
dog at the base of the corbel oppo-
site the Bishops throne has caught
sight of him and moved him to the
triforlum gallery opposite. The two
heads can be een supporting the
arcade arches there. Next he drives
him to the north choir aisle and
above the tomb of Bishop Carey the
dog and the evil beast are watching
each other from opposite sides of the
shaft that supports the vaulting.
But the fight Is not ended till, just
outside, we see the finish In the pic
ture. Rogers dog has cleared the
devil out.

Scientists Claim Brain "-T-
and Drawn Go Together

The theory that brains and Drawn
go together was put forth recently
by a group of scientists who had
assembled to discuss the worlds Ills
and how to cure them. A large chest
expansion Is a symbol of mental
breadth, 1t was said, while a narrow
chest denotes compressed intelli-
gence. Children who are the best
students, surveys have shown, are
those with the biggest chests. Statis-
tics were called In to show that more
successful persons, as n rule, have
more generous height and girth meas
urements than their less fortunate
%neighbors. Thus the idea of brain
power being associated with Drawn
has been elevated somewhat from
the field of physical culture argu-
ments.
Among the statistics cited In sup
port of the theory that larger dimen-
siOns are indicative of business sue
cess were those showing sales man.
ayers, on the average, to be twenty
five pounds heavier and one inch
taller than statesmen. Railroad presi-
dents appear to be t~hirty-One pounds
heavier and one and one-half inches
taller than station agents. The rela-
tive avoirdupois of generals and prl-
vate soldiers was not given.
Regardless of the scientific explain
atoms of these phenomena, the or
binary man-posSibly the station
agent-has some sensible views on
the subject. In the first place, he
readily will grant, good health is the
best stimulant for a smoothly work
ing brain. There are exceptions, of
course, as In the case of the genius
who has cultivated his brain cells to
compensate for physical deficiencies,
but in the main the better a person
feels physically the more fit he feels
for head work.
