CANA, as you QOuDLleSS KNOW
once was the Alpha. the Beta, the
Omega, the Sigma M and the Chi
Phi, Of wrestling. Twenty years ago
he was busting EN- all. When Cana,
with his $50 pounds of grand piano
bone and muscle, and flowing wal
rus mustache, stepped in the ring
it was strictly a question Of now
long, boys, how long.
In 1910 Cana, on light break
fast, threw Stanislaus zoyszko, then
at his very Zbyszkoiest, in nine sec
ondS fiat. The same year saw him
f1atten DR.. Benjamin Franklin
Roller, Americas No. 2 man, in half
a minute, and send the dear doc to
a hospital for three months.
DAY before yesterday, in a
- cinema that features newSreels,
Mons. Jacques Curley, who pro-
NOTED Gama's matches with Stanls-
laus and Doc Roller, nearly jumped
out his seat when a shot of Cana
throwing a water buffalo, was I'M
folded
Il thought he was dead" Mons.
Jacques said today, and 1 like to
have tossed off a fit when l saw
that picture of him working on that
buffalo. swear he looked just like
he did in 1910. Even his Whiskers
we're the same, And 1 could tell by
the way he worked on the buffalo
that the years had robbed him Of
none of his strength, speed or cum
ming"
DO you consider a buffalo fair
test for wreStler?" we asked.
Definitely" answered Mons.
Jacques, definitely. Water buffaloes
are very powerful. And they are
very smart. But I could see all
through the short shot of Cana
that he was outthinking the buffalo
by a full second. Then and there 1
decided to go to India and ask Cana
to come here for a match.
Il am doubtful of my success,
however, for as you know, all the
great Indian Wrestlers are in the
stables of the great Maharajahs,
and money means nothing to them.
Cana is with the Maharajah of
Poono- Something or the other, and
when 1 saw him last had more
money than he knew what to do
with. Every time he'd win a match,
the Maharajah of Poono-Something-
or-the-other would shower him
with rubies big as eggs. give him a
thousand acres Of land, and more
gold than you could carry away in
a sack.
"TF I brought him over he'd re-
il quire at least 25 steamship
tickets, for he wouldn't think of
travelling without his own religious
advisers, cooks. servants, and every
other thing. But maybe I will be
able to convince him that for
midas sake, that Gandhi mans
sake. he should come over here to
America"
How did Mons. Curley think
Cana would take to this new
American wrestling, with its billy
goat butts, Irish whips. flying
tackles and nonsense in general?
eff he was the Cana I used to
know, the Cana I saw knocking off
that Buffalo in the picture show,
he'd fix those fancy guys so they
wouldn't do any butting for the next
ten years. Oh, he'd really work on

hospital after that match with
Cana.

PRIVATE WORLDS
 OPENS TOMORROW
State Offers EnthralIing Story As Feature of
 Twin Bill

A sterling cast, a vivid, en- enthralling story and fine direction com bine to make Private Worlds" a story of compelling interest and wide appeal to both men and wo- men movie fans. The picture comes to Warner Brothers popu- lar State theater tomorrow for a limited engagement of four days. The glamorous Claudette Colbert, winner of the Academy Award for 1884, heads the cast of "Privatc Worlds" in the character of wo- man who seeks refuge from love in the memory of dead sweet heart.

Despite their insight into the ills of the human mind, Colbert and Boyer find themselves constantly in open conflict, both as doctors and people. without comprehend ing the underlying cause of the.r antagonism.
 While the drama between these two is resolving, lminor plot is evolved when McCrea is lured away from his wife by the vam- pire sister of Boyer, Helen Vinsor.
 In the dramatic and gripping c1i- max there is riot in the hospital and Joan Bennett becomes critic- ally i'll when she learns of her hus- bands infidelity.
 Miss Colbert and Boyer work to- gether in their desperate efforts to right the situation and learn for the first time that their apparent hatred had really concealed a growing love which is now the most important thing in their lives.

East year in Connecticut five women died for every 1000 who gave birth to living babies, nor tnlity rate which is twice the hg- ,,re, if should be and which could be effectively cut if expectant mothers would realize the impor- tance of prenatal care and advice, Dr A. Elizabeth Ingraham, d1rec- ter of the bureau of child hygiene of the state department or healtn' declared in the departments week. ly broadcas today.
 To impress upon expectant mothers the imortance of prenatal care and close cooperation with the attending physician, the state department of health maintains service by which without charge, either upon application by the mother or her physician, series of nine letters carrying prenatai instructions are sent to the woman approximately one month apart Dr Ingraham explained. About !'- 900 such letters are sent from the department each month, contain inc instruction as to exercise, dlet, clothing, personal care; and em, phasizing the necessity or dental carefi of putting hte mother early under the care of her doctor, ana of reporting at once to the physl- elan should any condition arise which she does not understand.
 Statistics show that most of the women who die in childbirth C3,- 900 annually in the United States) have had little or no prenatal care and deaths are often caused by conditions which If found early enough might have been cared Tor and the life of the mother saved.
 The most important help must come from the women themselves, however, Dr Ingraham stated. Mothers must realize the impor- tance fo prenatal care to them selyes, and must learn to overcome oil prejudices and secrecy. ana themselves seek advice early in pregnancy. The mother must also learn the kind of care she should have when the child Is born and afterward. The father, too, must know what is essential for the health of his wife and child, and perhaps for their lives. The day of ignorance Is gone. "Wc know now how mother sshould be taken care of, before and after the baby's birth; we know what causes their attendant diffic and what should be done about them. We know very largely the cause of maternal death and the methods

Al hundred thousand men lie dead in the graveyard of the Gran Chaco, the bloody battle-ground where Bolivia and Paraguay have been locked in death grip for dl- most three years.
 That is almost as many men es the battle casualties of the United States in the World war. It is as though every man in a city the mize of Omaha, Neb., of Syra- cuse, N. r., were to be killed.
 The present bitter fighting around Charagua in Bolivia's southern province of Santa cruz has seen 10000 soldiers in acton and has added perhaps 2,O0O to the lengthening lists of the dead. Ahc there is no sign of an end.
 JUNGLE WARFARE
 But then the Chaco began to fight against them. The BoliViaus arc highlanders, and the savage guerilla warfare of the steamlng maxes of the jungle was not te their liking.
 ii neutralized the effect of their better armament, and gave a cor responding advantage to the Para- guayans, who were used to it.
 The war dragged on month after month, with continual fight ing except during the rainy season, which turned the battle-ground into a malarial quagmire.
 Forts were taken and retaken, few yards of muddy ditch won and lost over the bodies of the slain. FIGHTING CONTINUES
 By the end of 1888, with Bolivia distinctly on the short end, an arr mistice was effected through League of Nations commission which visited both countries and tried to suggest peace terms. But after 16 days of peace, fighting Was resumed, when neither side could agree to peace terms suggested.
 For six months the Paraeuayans hammered at the line of forts and defenses the Bolivians had built.

First War Photos From the South American
Reveal The Three Year Jungle Conflict That Has
 Cost 100000 Lives

Toward the end of 1884 and tho beginning of this year, they began to break through, and succeeded in gaining almost all the Chaco. They swept the Bolivian troops out of an area greater than Eng land and Belgium put together. They were going strong, and tGe edge of Bolivia proper was at hand, with its rolling, open coun- try and its rich oil fields within striking distance.
 125 MILE FRONT
 Desperate at this threat of in- vasion of her own land, Bolivia braced, and her green and untrieI troops appear to have halted the Paraguayan advance in the present series of battles from Charagua 60 Villa Montes, along a 125-mile front.
 As the losses mount, the Boliv- ian advantage would seem to in- crease, despite her 30,000 prisoners in Paraguayan camps and the decimation of her early and veter- an armies. For Paraguay has only HlllllOu peOpIc, anu NCopAtC l'tS desperate loyalty and headloHg bravery and sacrifices of her peo- pie, they cannot furnish fresh can non-meat forever.
 Bolivia controls the air, Para guay's air force having been wiped out. And Bolivia has the re- sources, the equipment, and the men.
 TO THE DEATH
 Unless effective mediation comes, however, from the neighborinE South American countries of Ar. gentina, Chile, and perhaps Brazti, from the United States, or fror1 the League of Nations, it is more than possible that both these countries will fight each other into mutual destruction.
 In that case, the Chaco may re- main an unsettled South American Alsace-Lorraine, to plague the peace of the western hemisphere for uncounted years to come.
