LOUIS NOW MIKES

Improves Education as He
Trains for His Fight
With Max Baer.
BY II. H. RARGUS.

~ OMPTON LAKES, N. j., Sep
- TENDER 6.-School bells will
recall most of the Nations
= children to their lessons next
week, but they already have rung
again for Joe Louis.
After an absence Of several years,
Joe has returned to school.
Here is a scene that is being en-
acted daily as the Detroit heavy
weight trains for his match Septem-
Der "a with Max Baer:
1t Is 10 o'clock in the morning.
Joe is back in DR.. Joseph Bier's camp
after emile run. Showered and
dressed, Louis enters room contain
ing a globe and school books. He
seats himself and Russell j. Cowans,
a Detroiter who serves as Joe's secre-
tary. answering 100 fan letters daily,
picks up history book.
To-day, Joe, we will take up the
discovery of America by Columbus"
Cowans tells the contender for the
heavyweight crown.
Class Lasts Two Hours.
THE 2l-year-old boxer sits quietly
and listens as his tutor reads
of Columbus, Queen Isabella and the
discovery Of the new continent. This
lasts for an hour. Another 60 min
utes is spent in going over the lesson,
with Louis asking the questions and
Cowans answering them, using the
globe to clarity certain points.
The two-hour lesson ended. Louis
has lunch and. after a short rest, goes
TO his indoor training quarters to go
two rounds each with his sparring
ing light heavyweight. and Roy Will

Instructor Cowans explains the rea-
son for the class room. You know,
Joe did not have too much schooling
and he is anxious to be on equal terms
with many of his better educated
friends, like Eddie Tolan and Willis
Ward. He wants to learn and Is par
ticularly interested in history, gram
mar and geography.
History Joe's Fav0rite.
IT AM taking up all three with him,
one at a time. History Is Joe's
favorite subject, with geography next.
"A part of his studying each day
is occupied with the reading Of the
Bible. Right now, he is reading the
nineteenth chapter of Psalms. Joe
has two Bibles, a small one he carries
with him, and larger one that he
keeps in his room"
The boxing that Louis did Wednes-
day was his first since August IT.,
when he spared three rounds at the
Detroit police field day. Despite this
long layoff, Louis was punching as
hard and as accurately as ever. and
both johnson and Williams barely
were able to remain upright for their

bomber.
Louis will do no more boxing until
Saturday. He already is down to

weight against King Levinsky. His
trainer, Jack Blackburn, believes Joe
will be under that figure when he

Together the two ships set ou, for Viniand in the year 1911. Tn one was Freydis, with eyes too bright and lips too thin. At the brow of the boat driven by the power of thirty men she stood; she was going to the land from which her brother Jeff had re- turned with stories strange and exciting. Freydis was growing older, but the power of every mag nificent movement of the oars found response within her.
 We must not let them get there first" Freydis asid to Thorvard, her husband.
 "What difference does 1t make 2" Thorvard asked, but turned scowl- ing away as a look of scorn came into the eyes of his wife.
 They, Helgi and F'lnnbogi, with a crew of thirty-five men, also were driving through the waters to Vinland; they also were going to the land from which Jeff had returned with great cargo of lumber.
 Freydis stood at the prov of her boat. Her eyes were steady as she looked on the cold. dashing water, Haunting foam like beast showing fangs. All the sweep, all the roll of the water, all the driv- ing power of the ship-all that was strength, Freydis experienced as an intoxication within her.
 Every once in a while she glanced at Thorvard, and then scorn would flash in her eyes. He was merely going to Vinland for cargo of lumber. What dif- ference was he in his senselessness than the huge logs Helgi and Finnbogi must not get to Vinland first!
 From the smoke that ran a wav- ering thread from earth to sky Freydis knew even long before she came to Vinland that Helgi and Finnbogi already were there.
 "They are already there," she said to Thorvard, and he shrugged his shoulders. Freydis swung around, caught an ax in her hand. lifted 1t above Thorvard's head. He stepped back, a snarl coming to his lips. Freydis turned away.
 Thorvard had his men build huts, for Finnbogi and Helgi had moved into the houses left by Leif' Freydis went down among them.
 Helgi, short man, with shoul- ders so massive he seemed as wide as he was tall, saw Freydis coming. He knew what she would say. He feared no man as he did her.
 "Why do you take the houses of my brother as your own?" Frey" dis demanded.
 They were waiting for us," Hell gi returned.
 Rightly they are mine. and you must leave them" declared Frey dis.
 Finnbogi feared neither man nor woman.
 we will not go," he said. and Freydis' eyes flashed with anger. Seeing that, Helgi saida
 "Yes, we will leave the houses to you. Finnbogi and 1 shall build ones for ourselves"
 Helgi looked at Finnbogi, and though the eyes of the other fiercely glinted, he nodded his head.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-06-21

Winter came and the men could not work, so Helgi and Finnbogi decided to permit them to play games. In the midst of their trials of strength Freydis came among them, mingled with the men and the women, and caused such dis- cord among the men that the games were given up. So much hate did grow up in the camp of He1gi | and Finnbogi that the men would not visit from one house to the other.
 Freydis walked out along the shore, watched with eager devo- ton the mighty swing of the ocean. | and knew that she was growing old.
 "Thorvard!" cried Freydis as she saw her husband coming toward her.
 "Yes," he said.
 q come now from the camp of Helgi and Finnbogi. There was I l most rudely handled. The two spoke evil words to me, the two struck me. This tell you, Thor yard"
 Had they a reason?" Thorvard asked as he looked at his wife. 'I tell you Helgi and Finnbogi | spoke evil words to me and struck me, and you ask me if they had reason," Freydis shouted furious- | ly. You do not say you will | avcnge mel You do not say thrt | they and all their men and women must die! You ask me if they had reason!"
 That night Thorvard led his men from house to house of the camp of Helgi and Finnbogi. First they bound the men. then killed the men one after another in cold | blood
 | Ut is Freydis who does this. Up- on her head is our blood" said Helgi just before the blow which killed him was struck. Only five women were spared whom Thor yard nor his men would slay. So Freydis herself caught up an ax; one and all she brained them.
 In the spring Freydis returned with Thorvard to Brattahild in the | SHlp OL lnS HluTueISO thSi SSSNee~ | 1t was large and better than her own. By brides and threats she had committed. And when Leif Ito treat my wicked sister as she deserves; but this will forteil; The posterity of Freydi sand Thor yard will never thrive" | From that time nobody thought anything but evil of the two.
 Freydis walked out along the shore, watched with eager devotion the might swing of the ocean, and knew she was growing older :. She remembered the look in Helgfs eyes as he accused her. just before he died Freydis 'remembered. and a look of malicious triumph came into her eyes. ~.

Calvert High School Swept By Fire
Building And Equipment Totally Destroyed
Loss Placed At $45,OO0---Classes Will Be

Calvert High School, fine one
story and basement brick structure,
was totally destroyed by fire on Mon
day morning, together with all equip
ment, including furnishings, books,
ETC., some of the pupils even losing
coats, sweaters, lunch boxes and
other personal belongings.
The fire evidently originated in
the boiler room, as smoke was first
noticed about 9:45 o'clock by Miss
Scott, one of the instructors whose
room was directly over the room oc-
cupied by the heating plant.
Dense smoke filled the building so
quickly, cutting off the stairway from
the basement rooms, devoted to home
economics and manual training, that
it was necessary to take the pupils in
these rooms out through the windows.
Fire Companies from Rising Sun,
Oxford, Elkton, North East and
Newark responded promptly with
equipment and attempted to keep
the blaze in check with chemicals
while hose was being laid to the
creek, at Johnson's mill, fully mile
distant By the time two streams of
water were turned on the building
was a roaring mass of flames, and all
