do you remember that Eng.
fish heavyweight, BOmbardier
Wells?" asked Turner.
A few of the ring recalled the
blond Briton.
There was fellow who was
called yellow, but ne could not
resist punishment. Lacked STAN
ina rather than heart.
"It's harder to overcome dis
couragement than it is to beat
a man in the ring. That is
proved with a lot of wrestlerS.
They'll go we'll for one fall and
be easy the second tilt. That's
what made KytOnen the Finn a
great man. He'd wrestle until
his tongue hung out, and he,
wouldn't give up.
George BOthner, who was
perhaps the greatest of the
lighter men, was another who
had courage and determination.
He'd stay on the man all night.
He wrestIed Harvey Parker all
night on one occasion, and Par.
ker never would face him again.
But surely Harvey Parker didn't
lack for nerve"
And now we leave the realm Of
wrestling to seek information ir
the upper strata Of life.
Visit Representative Fish
We will go over to Capitol Hill
and there we discover the tall and
athletic Representative Hamilton
Fish, jr., of New York.
Suppose we talk about deter
minatiOn rather than courage"
said Representative Fish. "Many
times in football you will see
two great teams on the field, or
two fine players on opposite
sides. For Is minutes or for a
whole half, maybe longer, these
great players will battle it out.
"Then one player gets the up
per hand. He pushes his rival
back, and upon his gaining SUI
premacy, his entire team may
ride to victory. But the other
fellow doesn't lack for courage.
If he lacked courage he wouldn't
be out on the field for more
than Is minutes.
"SOme men can rouse them
selves to greater pitches than
others. Their emotions will
carry them farther. There have
been cases of men who were SO
scared that they performed ter
rifle deeds on battle fields.
Their emotion was the exact OPP
pOsite of courage, but it got the
same results"
And now the scene shifts to the
round table at Spalding's where
the genial Cy Macdonald presides
over his circle OF cronies. In
cluded in the circle were
couple of old oarsmen.
Greatest Strain
Now this writer, for one,
insists that an eight-oared race
will take more out Of a man than
any other sport on the calendar,
When that gun barks the start
and the blades begin to flash,
it's every man for the crew and
the man that breaks is in the
crew that loses.

to dance and that sweep sud.

Science to Expose Life

The peaceful life of the West

to be disrupted.
They haven't learned of it yet,
but that bed of honey and lazy
life they have been enjoying no
end for all these years can't last
much longer.

the dark cloud on the beetle

the why and wherefore of the

These staphs, as they are

of the species have idled about
so long nothing much is known
of them. But. they can't fool

World Of MuSic
Theme From "Valse Rommtque." by DebussY

dorsey, at Constitution Hall on
Sunday afternoon, February %.
Judging by the preview hearing
of Nelson Eddy in Naughty Ma
rietta," mis- screen appearances
will place him in a higher posi-.
ton than even his many ratio
programs have. His acting and
rich baritone voice will place him
close second in populari to
Lawrence Tibbett.
Nelson Eddy began his pro-
fessional career in opera some II
years ago and aspired, from the
beginning, to a classical car r
in his chosen profession. He
first came to national attention
not as a concert or operate
signer, but as a radio voice.
Featured during the past sea-
son as an outstanding vocal t.er
of three bi. coact-to-coaSt broad
casting series-the FiretSone, the
Ford and the General Motors pro-
grams, Eddy achieved such wide
spread attention and popularity
that he was promptly engaged
by the movie powers to play the
masculine lead in Naughty Ma
rietta." This picture is said to ,
but the first of a series of pic
lures in which dy will star in
the near future, and it is eX-
pected that he will -'ake at least
one other screen appearance To-
cally before he makes his recital
debut.
Nelson Eddy is just trifle over
80 years old, tall, blend and has
wonderful stage presence and
personality. He is a native of
Providence, R. l., and was a
newspaper reporter, copy reader
and advertising writer before es'
tablishing himself as a singer.
He first attracted attention when
he entered competition and
won the ivilege of singing the
role of Amonasro in a Philadel.
phia Opera Societv production OF
Aida"
His professional debut followed
in 1924 when he sang the role
of Tonic in the Philadelphia
Civic Opera Company's produc'
ton of "Pagliacci," and he subSe'
quently appeared in Madam
Butterfly" "Elektra," "Wozzeck,"
"Gianni Scgicci," "Hansel and
Gretel," "Lohengrin," and Secret
of Suzanne.
Mr.. Eddy has appeared as
soloist with the New York Phil
harmonic Symphony Orchestra,
the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
the Philadelphia Symphony Or
chestra, the Schola Cantorum
and the Boston Handel and Hay
den Society.
Mr.. Eddy is singer with a
wealth of training and experience
and has the looks, voice and bear
ing of screen hero. Doubtless
he will help to make grand opera
popular with the masses as Holly
wood will soon turn out popular
versions of grand operas in some
of which he is slated for leading
roles.

DEFICIT IS LESS
THAN ESTIMATE

President Roosevelt will have to
do a lot of swift spending to make
good his estimate that the nations
Treasury will have a deficit of
$4,000, 100000 by the end of June,
financial experts revealed yester-
day.
His deficit estimate has been
knocked lopsided by a decrease of
$149, 100000 in the public debt
during April.
The decrease in the public debt
was explained by the fact the
Government drew cash from the
general fund to redeem Liberty
bonds and maturing short term
obligations.
But black edges of the silver
cloud appeared when Treasury
books disclosed that for the 10
months ending April 80, the Gov
eminent spent $2,768,0O0,0 900 more
than it received in taxes and other
revenue.

Merchants Oppose
D, c. Income Tax

The Board of Governors of the
Merchants and Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION yesterday adopted a
resolution opposing an income
tax for the District as unneces-
Sary and unjustified.
The group voted to petition
the railroads to reduce freight
rates on coal from the mines to
Washington in order that there
may be a further reduction in
the price of coal to local con-
Sumers.
A resolution was adopted eX-
pressing confidence in the ability
of Major Ernest w. Brown as
superintendent of the Metropoli-
tan police and urging the Dis
trict Commissioners to retain him
in office.
It was voted to postpone the
annual booster trip scheduled for
June until September.
Resolutions were adopted COM
mending the firm of William King
and Son, coal merchants, on its
one hundredth anniversary. 1t
was pointed out the firm had
been operated during the entire
period by three generations OF
the same family.

PITTSBURGH, May 3 GN.S0.
Within the shadow of his finan-

w. Melons hearing in his three
million-dollar income-tax battle
was concluded, as far as Pitts
burgh testimony is concerned, at
the end of its eleventh week.
After a weeks recess, testimony

Appeals at Washington next

Cne large ant nils OF the isles.
They emit a honey-like secre-
ton, upon which the ants feed.
Ants, in turn, are sometimes
eaten by the staphs. This doesn't
bother the ants because staph
honey is a rare tidbit.
There's another section of the
staph family whose members do
not go in for honey. This type is
very lazy and hasn't attracted
much attention. Little is known
about him except that he lies
about chiefly in fungus deposits.
DR.. BlackWelder vows, however,
that after he has dug into most
all the West Indies there will be
little that isn't known about this
animal family, which is one of the
