WARMING
By Burdette Kinne
Post Press Sports Editor

Imperial Valley sport fans want
amateur boxing This fact is evi-
denced by the large crowds that turn
out for the amateur bouts held in
El Centro and Brawley each week.
The two clubs, Brawley and El
Centro, are dependent on each other
and it is essential that the two clubs
click, for without complete harmony
between the two outfits amateur
boxing may have difficulty in sur
viving in the valley.
There has always been rivalry
between the sporting elements OF
BraWley and El Centro. However,
if the amateur fights are expected
to go over this petty feeling should
be wiped out.
The big question among follow
ers OF nightban in Ell Centro is, Why
can't the FL Centro Merchants win
a ball game?
The FL Centro lineup is equally
as strong as the other valley league
teams in every way except one. The
Ell Centro ball club lacks the pep
and spirit Of the other teams in the
league.
In the Brawley game Tuesday
night Ell Centro has at least three
chances to win the ball game but
stuffed away the opportunities. Ir

The matter was reported to der
Fuehrer by his S. S. men. He did not
sleep wink the whole night.
Next day he appeared at the meet
ing, was almost curt with the
BritisherS, and, as soon as the
formalities were over, got up and
spoke without interruption for four
solid hours. He practically recited
"Mein Kampf," adding some pepper
when he touched upon situations
which he thought interested the Brit
ish particularly. Simon and Eden left
the meeting with their collars wilted.
The first attempt towards a German
British rapprochement failed because
Hitler's feelings had been hurt.
Now, his advisers-unlike Mussolini,

Beck proved to be right. Gamelin,

But now, when the European situa-

the same generals who pushed Hitler
to do things have become leery of his

remain alone too long. What Hitler
does regarding the internal political

thing today Is that der Fuehrer should
make no mistakes to jeopardize advan-

watchdog, is ever present to calm der

The ills include migraine, muco-

The defense mechanism that may
miscarry is the body's production Of
"antibodies" to produce immunity
against infection. Foreign proteins
injected into the body rouse this
mechanism. If the mechanism fails
q person may become sensitive" to
the irritating proteins. There may be
more serious results.
Today DR.. Landsteiner showed that
chemicals act the same as foreign pro-
teins. He showed that the chemicals
can produce all the reactions known
to proteins-a fact not known before.
He disclosed that the variety of chem

Reactions of Some.
Some people," DR.. Landsteiner
said, give reactions (to common. SUBJ
