Selected Poem
IF THIS BE POETRY

IF THIS BE POETRY (Reba M. Stevens in the Christian Science Monftor) have Black shadows of ailanthus leaves Swaying against the creamy background Of plastered wall I have vine Swinging in the window of lonely, shut-up house, Growing loyalty I have pink powder-puff Perched saucily atop A jade green jar, Lacking alone the grace of motion To set it into action gay and confident As her who poised it there I have woman's face, #. Where grief made strong demand for tears, Radiant with smile These the things that have seen today And so set truly down If this be poetry, Why, have it so.

Income Tax Army

All signs point to hard year for in- come tax dodgers. The federal Treasury Department is tightening up on tax col lections. The new appropriation bill gives Secretary Morgenthau 750 more field in- vestigators, making total force of 3,20O people in this service - vertibie army. They will soon be turned loose checking up on individual returns, with better facil- ities than ever before for ferreting out concealed income and bringing dodgers to justice.
 This pernicious activity may seem to many taxpayers like adding insult to in- jury, with incomes just beginning to perk a little after the lean years It should be remembered, though, that our government has been pretty lenient on incomes, com pared with most other governments. The average taxpayer in England is still, after some reductions, paying the government 22.5 per cent of his income.
 Let it be remembered, too, that in spite of the heavy increase in government ex- penses, American income tax rates have not been raised appreciably for some time The more fully people tell the truth in their tax reports, and the more willingly they pay, the less danger they run of hav- ing the rates jacked up on them = not to mention the penalties of concealment.

Connecticut veterans are getting behind the movement of Representative William Citron of Middletown to have Admiral turned to the capital of this state where Farragut's flagship, the Hartford, re- it may be transformed into floating his- torical museum in the Connecticut river. This isn't new idea by any means. If we recall correctly year or so ago Repre- sentative Herman P. Kopplemann of Hart ford tried to interest the War Depart ment in refloating the Hartford, now ly- ing in the mud flats near Charleston, s. C., all to no avail It would cost too much, said the department. Now the veterans, particularly the YD men are interested. Their 18th national annual convention will be held in New Haven next June and the boys would like to have the old Hartford stop off there on her way to permanent and fitting berth in the Connecticut near the city for which she was named and which she honored so nobly.

There seems to be considerable agitation in Hartford this year about diversion of funds of the motor vehicle department. Many would have certain amount used to cut down the growing indebtedness of the state. It is an old topic and one that will never be exhausted. We are not a proponent of diversion of funds from one department to another. But circum- stances more than alter cases In this one instance We are battling against odds. It is not fair to maintain such high rate of expenditures in one department when the state is steadily going into the red in others. We must curtail all and use all the funds to cut our growing debt.

Fight fire with fire" is an old l:,iom
 Walter Good Time CAarlie) Friedman must have been moved by that saying when he went to Ireland and induced the superla- lively looking Jack Doyle to come over here and seek the world heavyweight crown now resting on the handsome head of Max Baer.
 If ever Max faces Jack in the ring, the heavyweight camhpion will be overmatched in one thing-good looksl
 Mere than likely Handsome Max will resent that statement but the fact is that this 6-foot 4-inch Irish giant can more than match Baer's curly hair, million dollar smile and exceptionally broad shoulders.
 Just to make certain that he had what it takes" Dame Nature fitted him with a grand singing voice for good measure.
 Then, on top of that Doyle ad- mits he is quite some shakes as a

fighter. However, judgment on that will have to be reserved until he goes into action against a first elass heavyweight.
 I am here to win the heavy weight championship of the world he modestly declared on arrival, "ani I ought to be able to give them something to talk about in this country. I've had 37 fights and won 35 of them by knockouts. And no bout went more than two rounds"
 His only losing fight was with Jack Peterson for the champion ship of the British Empire. when Doyle was disqualified in the sec ond round He admits he was a bit excited at the start and tossed punches wildly in the first round but was amazed when the referee stopped the bout in the second and declared Peterson the winner on a foul.
 To prove that he can pack in" the customers Jack pointed out that he and Peterson attracted the largest crowd ever to witness a boxing match in London. They drew 85,000 into the White City stadium for a gate of $225, ,000. That is a lot of money for fight in any part of the world.

CAMP BELL, IN TRIAL RUN, GETS
 233.46 M. P. H.
English Speed King Does Not Touch Record
 Beach Is Rough

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, March fin trial run, preparatory to making his fifth assault on the world land speed record, Sir Nal colm Campbell, of England, raced over the beach course here Satur- day in his 1885 Blue Bird automo- bile at speed of l88.186 miles per hour.
 However, that figure did not reach the mark of 273.46 miles per hour which he set in 1893.
 The course was bumpy However, on one of the miles in Saturdays trial, he reached the figure of 233.463 miles per hour, then was forced to slow down for the rough terrain.
 Sir Campbells newest Blue Bird has several modern improvements, including blunt nose and a wid- CT body. A new device on the shortened tail fin also gives him quicker braking action.

decision, he abandoned his ring career temporarily and sang Irish ballads in the music halls. He even made movie, just to show that he didn't depend on his ring ef- forts for living.
 He plans to make picture here and do a bit of singing as well.
 Dempsey and Mccormack
 But this sort of thing is out for the present. Doyle becomes dead earnest when he discusses his real mission.
 Ireland believes in me. She ex- poets me to uphold the tradition and supremacy of her fighting men" he says.
 His face flushed with pride when he recalled the huge crowds on hand to bid him farewell in Dublin and Queenstown. He would not dream of failing their trust.
 Jack Dempsey has been his idol since he was school boy. His is to be a fighter like Jack. There's little about the old Manassa Mauler's ring history that Doyle does not know. They say Dempsey has a part interest in the youth, though Dempsey denies it.
 When his mind is on singing in- stead of boxing, Doyle dreams of becoming another John McCor- mack. You can see that the young Irish heavyweight is set on hitch ing his wagon to a star
 A good-looking Irishman who can fight like Dempsey in his prime, with a voice like John Mc- Cormack-thats almost too much to expect of any man, even Jack Doyle.

Experience and shooting ability will be matched against youth and speed tomorrow night at Juneau High School as the George Broth CTS and the DeMolays square off in the fir5t game of the champion ship series for the 1934-35 City Basketball League title.
 The titular game will get un- der way promptly at 7:30 o'clock with an exhibition tilt between Juneau High School and the Ju- neau Firemen "all stars" following at 8:30 o'clock.
 Experience and shooting ability the veteran George Brothers team certainly has. Holders of the 1885, 34 title as well as of the first half crown for this season, the Green Shirts will make strong bid for their second consecutive champion ship in the coming three-game se- ries. They boast two of the finest marksmen in the circuit in sure shot" Bob McPhee, leading scorer, and Claude Erskine. Both these players can be counted on for more than ten points in almost any game.
 Experience, Too
 Then, too, Erskine adds eXperi- ence along with Art Burke, Dewey Baker and Bob Davlin. Not slow" in any sense of the word, these men are Juneau veterans when it comes to the hoop sport. Sure passing and a sterling defense are offered by the Green Shirts.
 However, matching them will be a quintet which shows lightning fast speed for every minute of any ball game. In Elmer Lindstrom, Al Bloomquist and Hiding Haglund, the DeMolays have three of the fastest men in the league. Their dipping style of play was major factor in the DeMolays' march to the second half crown.
 Added, is Kinky Bayers, leading scorer for the first half, and Ed Garnick, erstwhile guard. The for mer is always dangerous under the basket, while the latter, not scoring player, is solid rock on the defense.
 Odds Are Even
 Twice, the teams have met this season. The George Brothers won in the first half, only to have the DeMolays cop - the second half meeting. Evenly matched, odds are even today as to tomorrow nights probable victor.
 The two teams are scheduled to battle again Thursday night. If the series then stands at one vic- tory apiece, third, and deciding sussle will be played, probably Sat- urday.
 The second game tomorrow night is billed not only as an added at traction to please the expected large crowd, but to furnish the High School team with a much needed hard contest before meeting Wrangell here soon for the South east Alaska prep title. Kelly Blake, manager of the Juneau firemen, is gathering a strong team to oppose the High School.
