TRIMS KETCHELL.

~ ETURNED to local fistic favcr
- by virtue of his convincing
n eight-round decision over Billy
4 y Ketchell, rugged Philadelphia
puncher, last night at Turner'S Arena,
AL Delaney's devastating n1ittens also
have placed a comparative black eye
on Stablemate Eddie Nader, eighth
ranking heavyweight.
Nader. whose estimate Of Delaney
ranks the Buffalo youth no better
than pretty good" might have been
keenly interested in the neat manner
in which AL disposed of the tough
Ketcheu.
It was this same stocky Ketchell
who gave Nader the fight of his life
here last month. Eddie gained the
decision, but absorbed such lacing
at Billy's failing fists that he was
softened considerably for Art Sykes,
who scored a knockout over him a
week later in semi-final scrap to
the Louis-Retzlaff bout at Chicago.
And those who doubted Delaney's
fitness in New York when he was
scheduled to fight Ketchell here pre-
viously, today are certain that the
postponement of the match was not
due to any fear AL nursed concerning
Billy's superiority.

POOR CHILDREN
T0GET SHOES

Several hundred needy children
will receive new shoes as Christ
mas presents from the Volunteers
of America, it was announced to-
day by Major H. Mills Eroh, di-
vision commander. The Volun-
teers last year decided to make
the distribution of new shoes to
school children one of the prin-
cipal points of their Christmas
program and last Christmas they
gave out more than 600 pairs.
In addition to the shoes for the
youngsters, Major Eroh is prepar-
ing to distribute hundreds of bas-
ketS of food Christmas eve.
Each basket will be especially
packed for the family to which it
is given and will contain enough
food to supply not only Christmas
dinner but several other meals.
Last Christmas the Volunteers
gave away more than 1900 such
baskets.

HUNTER KILLED
BY YH|SFR|END

Edward Smith, 20-year-old sheet
metal worker, was shot fatally in
the back yesterday while hunting
rabbits near Benfield, Anne Arun-
del county, IL miles from Balti-
more. Smith was shot by Marcus
Sansone, his 18-year-old COM
panion. Both youths live in Balti-
more.
According to police report, the
boys had prepared to leave after
an unsuccessful day of hunting
when their dog spotted a rabbit.
Smith, who had a rifle, handed it
to SanSone and gave chase. He
was followed by Sansone, who told
police his arm struck a twig, dis
charging the gun.

The Human Side of the News

nance with ancient scandals. Both
principals are Of impeccable ante
cedents, but the flare-up is the
same-caused by the low combus-

politicians and punditS in the
world, working day and night

it's "the human side of the news"
Democracies boil up more read
lily than autocracies. For cen
turieS, cZariSt Russia was ridden
with graft and brutality with no
record of any great national scan
dal. But, in due time, with no
safety valve, the lid blew off, as it
did in the French revolution.
DECENT RESTRAINT
The smaller and more homo
geneous the country, the greater
the danger of an explosion. There
is evidence that America, by the
very fact Of its size and complex
ity, has been able to digest many
a national scandal which would
have wrecked a smaller and more
unified country. In the past,
news was six or eight weeks get
ting anywhere, and we had time
to cool off and never had chance
to get mad altogether and all at
once.
Recently members of the Fed
eral Radio Commission made state
ments to this effect: Radio and
modern, swift newS-gathering i'm
pose restraints not necessary in
the days of slow communications
and slow transport.
That seems reasonable. Ger
tainly the world is all of a piece
these days, and indictments to i'm
passioned, unthinking, errant and
uncomfortable mass action are
more of a menace than in the
past. Is this a counsel of too much
complacency about the doings of
people in the public eye; less
watchfulness and too patient
acquiesceqce in what they say
and do? 1 do not think so.
In spite of the tensity in Eng
land, I think the British news
papers would have done better to
handle the Simpson case on its
merits, from the first, with decent
restraint, of course, but with faith.
fulness to their obligation to print
the news.
Damming up the whole business,
until it began to filter through
from this country, caused it to

INAUGURATION
PLANS MADE

Plans mapped at session with
the District Commissioners and a
group of prominent local citizens
for the coming inaugural cere-
mony will be placed before Presi-
dent Roosevelt today by Rear Ad-
miral Cary T. GraySon, chairman
of the inaugural committee.
Mindful of the Presidents de-
sire for a simple and brief cere-
mony, Admiral Grayson met late
yesterday with the city heads and
the citizens at the office of Com
missioner Melvin c. Hazen in the
District Building. Following the
meeting, Admiral Grayson an
nounced:
II wanted to get the views Of
some of WashingtOn'S repreSen-
tative residents before taking
the matter up with the Presi-
dent. OF course everything de-
pends upon his approval. The
meeting with the Commission
ers and the residents was SIM
ply a checking over of pOSsibili-
ties"
Admiral Grayson said no definite
decisions had been made but that
quite a number of proposals were
discussed. Among the proposals
is one calling for a week of enter
tainment prior to the inaugura-
tion, which for the first time will
be on January 20.
Among those who attended the
conference besides the CommiS-
SionerS we're Corcoran Thorn,
president of the American Security
& Trust Co., Robert v. Fleming,
president of Riggs National Bank;
Lloyd Wilson, president of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Co.; Edgar Morris, presi-
dent, and Robert C. Cottrell, Sec
retary of the Board of Trade;
Melvin T. Hildreth, attorney; Col.

ceives a guilty person"
BY SLOW DEGREES
He then quotes a diplomatic re
port of the day:
"'What intensifieS the evil to
an enormous degree is that
peoples minds are growing more
and more excited. One may say
that by slow degrees the agita-
ton has extended to all classes
of society, and that it is this
ferment which has encouraged
Parliament to persist in its Op-
position. You would hardly credit
the audacity with which, not
merely in the privacy of their
homes, but in the public
streets, people express opinions
concerning the King, the princes
and the minister of state. All
their actions are criticized. No
repreSSive measures could put a
stop to this license of speech.
Then, as today, a royal romance
inflamed this avid mob hunger fol
dramatic identification with th'

PARLEY H f R T
ON NP0T0MAC
FLOODS

In an effort to prevent a repe-
tition of the Potomac River flood
of last March, the Engineering
Corps of the War Department,
Washington area, has scheduled a
flood control conference for De-
cember 80.
The meeting, to which First
Lieut.. William j. Matteson, dis
trict engineer of the War Depart
ment, has invited more than 200
individuals and organizations, will
be held at the Navy Building.
Records To Be Studied
Although the main object of
the conference will be to record
flood data of the Potomac and
its branches in Maryland and
Virginia, from Point o. Rocks
to Alexandria, officials of the En-
gineering Office said that any rec
ords of foundations in the river
basin will also be given conSidera-
ton.
Construction of the planned
Thomas Jefferson memorial pre-
Sents another problem to be consid-
cred by the flood control confer
ence. It is proposed to build the
memorial on part of the Tidal
Basin, neceSSitating provisions for
protecting the structure from high
water. Building of the memorial
would also reduce the size Of the
basin, creating a demand for a
new method of flushing the Wash
ington Channel.
Participants in Farley
Lieutenant Matteson will be as
sisted in conducting the discus
Sions by E. A. Schmitt, senior en-
gineer, and Byron Bird, senior
engineer-in charge of preliminary
data.
Major groups to take part in the
discussions are: The washington
Board of Trade, the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning CommiS-
sion, the Fine Arts Commission, the
National Capitol Parks Office, rail-
road and steamboat interests, con-
Germs along the washington water
fronts and the Agriculture Depart
ment, which maintains an exper-
perimental farm at Arlington, Va,

WOMAN IN GAS
BLAST BETTER

Mrs. Louis Don Coiner Bean,
daughter of Senator Edward r.
Burke, of Nebraska, who was in
jured critically in a gas explosion
which demolished her home, is
slightly improved this morning.
She spent a quiet night, George
town Hospital authorities said.
If her condition warrants, police
will question her about the explo-
sion. Police investigators said she
was found lying on the kitchen
floor of her apartment at 3516 w
Pl. N. W. with four gas jets burn
ing. They believe the explosion
was caused by the ignition of gas
by a spark from an electric refrig-
orator in the kitchen.

is necessary in any exercise pro
gram. For reducing, two classes
a week are imperative, but three a
week-particularly at the begin
ming of your program-will do
more for your figure.
If you rely on the old standby,
the Daily Dozen, plan for 20 min
utes a day. A practicable plan
for you may be the twice daily
Half Dozen-10 minutes, night
and day.
There is no substitute for out
door activity, and to keep in the
pink of condition you need daily
walk, a brisk workout on the tennis
court, badminton, bicycling, Skat-
ing, or some other activity that
takes you out into the fresh air
and forces the blood into the
muscles. This program will keep
you young and give you the figure
of a debutante.
Here are some exercises designed
to keep the office girls figure
slim and supple. The first exer-
else is to reduce the hips and der
riere.
Exercise I.
Position: Sitting on the floor,
tailor fashion, knees bent and legs
crossed at the ankles, hands rest
ing on knees.
Movement: Rock from side to
side with as much roll as possible.
The aim is to go way over on the
sides of the hips and thighs. For
a time you may need to brace
yourself with the hands on the
floor.
Here is an exercise that doesn't
miss muscle in your body:
Exercise III
Position: On the floor, body
straight, palms of hands braced
against floor and weight resting
on toes and hands.
Movement: Lower the body to
the floor by bending the arms,
and at the same time raise one
leg as high in the air as possible.
Six times, alternating legs, will
be plenty.
The following exercise is for
frontline and waistline:
