A longer Achilles tendon pc. culiar to the race is the reason advanced by Glenn s. (Pop) War; ner as the reason behind the spec tacular performances of Negro sprinters, murders, and jumpers.

 "It's because they have more spring." explains Warner, current Temple football coach who trained countless stars, including the in- comparable Jim Thorpe.

 Waiting Game Puts
 Canzoncri Back on Top
 Benny Leonard professes to believe that on the form he dis played against Lou Ambers, Tony Canzoneri would beat either Bar ney Ross or Jimmy McLarnin.
 In briefly sketching Canzoneri's career, Leonard asserts that the Italian curbed his natural aggres- siveness to become a great fighter and again sealed the heights when he once more decided that he was taking unnecessary punishment.
 "When Canzoneri first started he knew nothing but to walk in and slug" says Leonard. "Then he got smart and became almost the per- feet fighter. He boxed and waited for openoings.. When one came, he'd ram home a jarring jolt.
 "Then, four years ago, Canzon- eri knocked out Jackie Kid Berg. That knockout gave Tony the knockout idea and he went crazy trying to stop all opponents.
 "He took more punishment. than he should have untii he suddenly decided to start boxing agnln. Now Do maneuvers beautifully, and aoesnt try for . knockout until the othef fellow gives him an opsn- ing or he has made one. He's the hardest kind of fighter to beat Aow."

AN injury to the hip joint is one of the most

not move as easily because the socket Is deeper ana
the structures moving in the joint larger.
Therefore, an injured hip joint is more difficult
to correct than injured shoulder joint.
After the torn or damaged tissues have been
healed the doctor physOtherapt tries to restore
motion by reproducing the movements common TO
the joint in time of health. They involve rotating
the leg inward and outward drawing the leg upward
and extending it.
These motions are carried out slowly and steadily.

The End Does Justify the Means

THE mission of Mr.. Ickes detective force seems
l. to be to keep the deserving Democrats honest
in the disbursement of the three billion and such
further billions as may be allotted to him. 1t is
cheaper in the long to do this than to let them
follow their own incnationS and then have to find
them out.
There has been indignation over the
thought that Mr. IckeS' detectives may be checking
up to find out what time this one or that one got
home last night and how much he paid for the
little womanS fur coat, but, after look back over
the war expenditures of the Wilson regime and the
salvage operations of Mr. Hardings time it can be
argued that the end justif1es the means.
The Harding Administration had its detectives,
too but the trouble that there was nobody to
investigate the Investigators until it was too late.
Although it is presumed that all the present-day
investigators are men of fine character with per-
sonal Endorsements from their home town aldermen,
the memory of the career of CASTOR B. Means is a
little diSquieting and it is the sincere hope of one
and all that no errors of selection have been made
which might call for regrets later.
Mr. Ickes is a cautious man. however, who has
reputation for taking chances. 1t was reported
in dispatches recently that he had even investigated
Mr.. Farley which would have been unclubby of
fellow Cabinet member. But, although this report
was denied it should not be taken amiSs If he had
done so because Mr. Ickes is one who does not even
trust himself.

Picks Milestone to Millionaire

TT is not wholly accidental believe, that American
! COMPOSERS and hbrettists have sought tnelr
themes in ancient Briton in Du Mauriers Paris and
IN a pasha's garden. The palid quality OF these
productions can be traced perhaps. to the not
house atmosphere under which and for which they
are nurtWed.
Many nave argued that without great mdlVldual
holdings of wealth many art forms would langulSh.
Certain rich men have sought to justify their estate
IN the community by buying paintings, enooWlng
plays, collecting vases and supporting the opera But
I think that in the world today the touch OF Mae
cenas is quite as deadly as that Of Midas.
The new theater which inhabited the now de-
fnct Century was doomed from the start because 1t
was handed down from the top When the great ones
OF the land start handing out culture the general
public has an uneasy feeling that somewhere IN the
basket there is concealed cold turkey leg jar OF
cranberry sauce and bag of flour. They fear, ana
have right to fear that they are being patronized
And in all truth most of the artistic handouts have
been decidedly cold turkey.
Indeed I have known not a single painter or
author whose work did not suffer when some wealthy
friend with the best intentions in the world, began
to take an interest in him. 1t is better to hang a
milestone than a millionaire around the neck OF a
creative artist

Thus a policy of so years dura-
ton stands reversed. And Ras

Unless something is done soon,
therefore, to straighten out the
dispute at Geneva, seat of the

more bloodshed will be inevitable

of Benito Mussolini is involved.
ITALIANS can not mention Abys-

them the name means defeat, the
biggest defeat any European force
ever met with at the hands of an
African horde.
Back in February, 1885, exactly
half a century ago, Italy's Rear
Admiral Caimi arrived at Masa-

Sea, with two ships and 1000
troops, colony hunting.
Emperor John of Abyssinia was
far from pleased He called on
his vassals, among them Menelik,
King of Shea, to defend the coun-
try, and guerrilla h5stilities be-
gan. One day in 1887, Ras Alula,
a vassal of John, rnassacred three
companies of Italians at Dogali
and such an uproar was created
in Italy that war had to be de-
clared.
After a treaty was signed, war
broke out again. In 1895, Ras
Makonnen. yassal of Menelik,
marched with $4,000 men against
$500 Italians and annihilated
them. Behind them came $4,000
more, fairly we'll armed with

The Italians numbered less than
$4,000.

Britain went on to a gold
standard in 1925 under the de-
lusion that because it bore the
designation of the gold standard
it was identically the same as the
gold standard from which she had
been forced by the war in 1914.
Seven long years of depression and
disaster and a very narrow escape
from ruin was the price paid for
this delusion."
What Sir Charles is saying here
is that up to 1914 when the rest of
the world was on the British
sterling gold standard Great
Britain proSpered, but that after
the war when Great Britain had
to go on the American dollar gold
standard, Great Britain did not
prosper.

France in an attempt to stay on

Think Tuice Before You Speak

MIR. FARLEYS investigators currently re-
IV1 ported to be engaged in an investigation OF the
organization of the good Mahatma Townsend OF
California who claims to have 25 million followers
in his demand for pension for 5000 month for
all citizens over 60. The good mahatma seems to be
the soul of innocent sincerity however for he lives
in a modest hotel and does not gamble drink, smoke
or attend burlesque shows.
There is no telling who is investigating whom at
any given moment because detectives are very close
mouthed and the situation naturally creates feel
ing that there is detective in every bellhops uni
form a dictagraph in every taxcab, a wiretapper
on every telephone and more than dash of mere
larceny in the soul of every deserving Democrat
now engaged in the patriotic work of spending the
deficit.
AS far as your correspondent is concerned, al
though his life has ever been open book and he
has always been careful to put nothing in writing,
it is great additional incentive to avoid idle con-
versations with strangers of either sex, especially
the other one. and to look behind the pictures on
the walls for concealed wires.
The whole thing should be great boost Tor the
correspondence schools which teach rural high
school students how to be detectives in 10 easy
lessons and award each paidup graduate diploma,
a complete set of DISCUSSES, pair OF handouts and

was forced to tie, the gold stand
ard became a degrading" thing.
NOW let's see how the original
IN gold standard, the English
pound sterling gold standard,
came into existence. England'S
money for centuries was silver,
and the unit of value was a
pound of pure silver, originally
divided into 20 shillings. 1t
was an unstable money because
the value of the shillingS de-
pended on the varying market
value of a pound Of sterling silver.
Conduit, who succeeded Sir
Isaac Newton as warden of the
mint, estimated that the value of
the weight of silver had varied
seven times with reference to its
currency value during the five
years, 1713-18. 1t was also I'M
stable because the various Eng
lish rulers constantly debased the
coin.
King Henry VIII so debased the
silver coinage during his reign. for
example, that when Queen Eliza
beth took the throne the national
money was so per cent below par.
On remelting it to establish it,
Queen Elizabeth used the Stag, we
are told, to mend her roads.
Piracy and the violent acquisi-
ton of mines in various parts of
the world gradually increased
England's stock of gold. From an
early time gold was struck into
coins, but the gold coins for CEN
turtles we're a sort of luxury money.
And for most of that time the
English had enormous difficulty
keeping gold coin in circulation at

the exact value of the pound
sterling.
From 1914 to 1904 the gold
pound had been reduced in
weight from 200 to I'll grains.
The odd thing, never complete
ly explained, is that gold, despite
the governments steady reduction,
gradually went to a premium in
England. A given weight became
worth more there than anywhere
else in the world.
The gold guinea became worth
30 shillingS in England, but in
France it was worth only 20
shillings. The French, and most
other peoples, preferred silver.
Therefore England shipped silver
rather than gold in settlement Of
debts.
THERE was a steady drain of
Il silver from England to the
other nations until eventually
there was virtually nothing but
gold left in the realm.
In 1870 Conduit made his fam
Gus announcement, so strange to
modern ears: Gold is as much a
measure as silver, and as legal a
tender"
Then came the French Revolt
ton and the Napoleonic wars, and
there was a sudden demand on
the continent for any kind of
money to be had, gold as we'll as
silver.
The guinea increased in value
externally, and there was a drain
of gold.
In 1890 the gold coinage in Eng
land totaled f25,O0O,000. BY 1897
the gold had been so drained from
the country that the Bank of

NTAITING reporters, senatorial
w secretaries, clerks and ste
nographers suddenly were hustled
out of the Senate Banking Com
mittee.
No explanation was given for
the forced exodus.
When the room was cleared the
tranSom over the outer door was
even slammed shut. Obviously a
very important confab was about
to take place.
NewSmen waited impatiently.
Finally, the door was opened and
the secretary of the committee
emerged. The reporters made a
rush for him.
What's up?" they demanded.

insurgency f1ared so fiercely that
the House leadership saved its
face only by making material
concessions.
The White House always ex-
pected trouble in the Senate.
But the House, gagged and
curbed, was to be the trump card
up its sleeve.
In this chamber, according to
inner council strategy, the Ad-
ministration would put through
legislation in the form it desired,
then hold the House as a bar
gaining club over the Senate.
But with the House kicking
over the traces on the first show
down the efficacy of this set-up
becomes extremely uncertain.
1t is true that on the major
issue - the Presidents demand
that no strings be attached to the
S4.SSO 100000 appropriation the
Administration was able to hold
its line. But it did so only after

of brass knucks.'
EEW diplomatic appointments
l. recently have caused as much
concern as that Of Antonio Con-
zalez, American minister to Pan
ANA.
He was Farley appointee, and
soon after he was appointed, the
State Department began to wish
Farley had never seen him. In
fact. Gonzalez was the one thing
about Panama on which the State
and War Departments agreed.
Both wanted him out. The State
Department even limited to some
of Secretary Dern's army officers
that they should take the lead in
asking for his removal.
But Jim Farley was adamant.
Gonzalez delivered the Puerto
Rican vote for us in New York
City" proclaimed Jim, land we're
going to take care Of him. You
can find him another job if you
want TO, but you can't fire him."
So that was what the State De-
partment did.
They found Gonzalez another
job-that of minister to distant
Ecuador. But to do it they had to
transfer the minister to Ecuador
