Henry Woods Gets Draw
With Cecil Payne, Tues.

Climaxing a series of Henry
Woods, Cecil Payne fights, last
Tuesday saw draw decision again
handed down by the judges. Woods
had built up a nice lead in the ear
lier rounds of the fight and it look
ed as though he was going to get
a win over the Kentucky puncher
this time, however, in the eighth
round Cecil began to catch up with
Hank and you all know the result.
Woods finally back peddled so
much as to arouse the ire Of the
FAIRS and start a salvo of boos.
Cliff Harrison, in the Seattle Star,
sums it up as follows:
my card showed the score by
rounds to be es follows:
Woods r. 6, Z, 6, 611, 81, 4, 6,
5, A, 5-Total Sc.
Payne 5,4,5, AZ, Az, q 5,
8, 7, 6-Total 54
And when your point total adds
up like that you are supposed to
give a draw decision. It takes at
least four-point edge to justify
a decision for any one fighter"
Woods is undoubtedly finished as
fighter here in Seattle. After
the fight he and Druxman engaged
in quite an argument and some say
the fight there was much better
than the one the fans paid to see.
In the seni-windup, Albie Da-
vies, welterweight from Victoria,
packed too many guns for Billy
Lancaster taking the six round de-
cision from the Spokane Negro.
Buzz Brown of Portland again
won over Young Corpuz in a six
rounder. Billy Buxton and Young
Speedy fought sensational draw,
as did Russ Mcmillan and Cal Nc

Poison of Propaganda
By James T. Williams, Jr.

Alien intrigue is instigating, or.
ganizing and substituting on Amer.
lean soil today the most insidious
sapping expedition against Amer
lean institutions which ever
threatened the unity of "the house
hold Of the nation"
This intrigue 5 a challenge to
American youth, North, East.
South and West.
In due time young Americans
will take up the challenge and
when they do the snakes of alien
intrigue will be driven from Amer
lean soil, and the antidote of
truth will be applied to the poison
spread by the snakebites Of this
intrigue.
The only reason why the snakes
Of alien intrigue now crawling
hither and thither on American
soil have not sooner been stripped
of their camouflage and exposed
for what they are is because the
plain people of this country have
been engaged in a desperate battle
to overcome the hardShips Of an
economic depression which Is
the aftermath in no small part
of the Great War and of the loss
in public and private morale that.
has followed in the wake Of that
conflict.
SHINY TRAIL
AS the clouds Of the depression
slowly lift and the tide Of its hard
ships begins slowly to recede, as
the plain people regain the spirit
of self-reliance, they have more
time to think about their coun-
try's problems, more courage to
organize not only against the
enemy at the gate but also against
"the foes of our own household. "
Alien intrigue in this country
today is not only attempting to
overthrow the American system
Of government by force. 1t is also
engaged in an even more insidious
effort to Europeanize the Ameri-
can system by the poison of propa-
ganda.
This poison is distributed not
only by the agents Of alien in
trigue but also by its tools and
dupes-the benighted among us
who are either too simple minded
or too fatuous to follow the Shiny
trail of the snakes of alien in
trigue that pollute American soil
today.
Every now and then Senator
Johnson of California or Senator
Borah Of Idaho or some other
brave and honest leader repeats
the warning of the Farewell Ad-
dress against the dangers Of alien
intrigue.
Senator Borah did this most elo-
quently and effectively a few

his unceasing efforts to have them
paid their Adjusted Compensation
Certificates.
Although his bill was not
adopted, many Of his views were
contained in the final bonus bill
which went to President Roosevelt
for a veto and returned to the
Congress to become law.
Despite the fact that President
Roosevelt vetoed the bonus
measure, his campaign workers
are attempting to secure the vet
eranS' vote for him and for his
Congressional leaders.
The Roosevelt workers are at
tempting to show the ex-service
men that leaders of veterans or
CARNATIONS approve of him and
that they should vote for the man
who endeavored to prevent them
from receiving payment Of their
adjusted compensation certificates
before 1945.
Choice of Steiwer as keynoter
may interfere with activities of
the Roosevelt campaign workers
along this line because it is al
most certain that the veterans will
pay more attention to him in this
position of national prominence
as keynoter than they would to
any persuasion from the Demo
cratic camp.

STORMY VOYAGE
Annoy is an island at the mouth
of the Dragon River, between For
mosa and Chang-chow, China.
From the mainland, there came a
Dutch trader and adventurer, one
Captain Ward. He prospered and
married high-caste Chinese girl.
They had some beautiful children.
Captain Ward had pretty much
gone native. To own a specially
designed Annoy junk is an ambl-
ton of rich Chinese comparable to
our own day dreams OF owning
something like. Morgan's Corsair.
In the deep woods, Chinese
workmen RACED the finest camphor
wood timberS for Captain Wards
Junk. The Soundest planks OF
Chinese oak and panels of rare
wood were prepared. It took years
to build it and launch it with
ancient ceremony in the muddy
downflow of the Dragon River,
ready for the Chinese Family Rob
inSon.
The captain was rich not only
in money, but also in eager zest
and curiosity. He wanted to see
the world; he wanted to find a
place for raising foxes; he
wanted to have a fine, foot-loose
fling all around the world, along
with his beautiful wife and their
rollicking, half-caste children.
The first night out, in q wild
gale which stood the boat up on
her beam ends, the old Dragon
River tossed a dragon right up
on her deck. That is, it was a
beast which always had passed
for a dragon and which had
given the river its name. 1t was

In the course Of that address,

West, Mr.. Borah said:
