Voteless WasJ,inoton

Every political campaign calls attention anew to the plight of the vcteless citizens of the District of Columbia, where General Washing tons monument looks down on the tyranical reign of taxation without representation
 Recent open violation of the capi- tal's traffic regulations by members of Congress has prompted Senator Borah to remind his colleagues they have no constitutional immunity when it comes to parking signs.
 That hardly is the point. It is not constitutional immunity which is in- volved. but political immunity. Con- gress is Washington's city council what policeman would think of in- curing the wrath of the alderman?
 As Congress discusses. the .citys taxpayers, who have no vote on any thing at any time, must get what amusement they can out of the de- bate. That is their only reward and solace.

BERLIN, Mar 13-Max Schmel- ing, the former heavyweight cham pion, who not long ago called Joe Louis "amateurish," says he will have a good chance" against the Brown Bomber.
 And what is more, the German ex-champion asserts he is welcom- ing his coming fight with Louis ito allay the nonsense in America that I'm afraid of him"
 Schmeling said as much on his return from New York, where he looked over his next opponent, against Pauline Uzcudun, and sign ed the necessary papers.
 His trainer, Max Machon, said much more. To him Max is the White Hope" Jack Dempsey and others are looking for.
 Max, The Unterrified
 Max knows his job" Machon proclaimed. He knows that Louis never has had an opponent who fought systematically and with cold precision.
 He doesn't under-estimat Louis, but he doesn't fear him at all Louis fight with Pauline showed nothing The Negro waited for a good chance, and spared his pow CT until then.
 Sports writers in New York think Schmeling hasn't chance against Louis; there is but one White Hope that is Max Schmel- ing. Remember that even the slow Pauline landed two rights to Louis chin.
 "The Negro must not let that happen when Max is around!" .l
 Max's amen to that, however, was enigmatic.
 Nothing Venture"
 There's an old saying that believe: It is better to risk and lose than never to risk at all Schmeling will cross the Atlantic for the 21st time in April to begi.i careful training. He has not yet chosen his training partners or quarters-but he wants ito show the people what's going on"

UnderdOne Movie Hams.

A MEDICAL journal reports that
\ a preventative has been found
for trichina. But I'm afraid it's
too late to do anything for some of
our Hollywood actor-folk, trichina
being thing common to under
done hams.
A lot of us who came out here
as greenhorns and went to cutting
up didoes for the screen have an
alibi. When the movie critics ac-
cuse us of having contracted the dis
ease of bad acting, our defense is
that we'd been exposed to it.
Yet the films have produced a
grand crop of good actors, out of
very raw material, too, sometimes.
And they keep right on doing so,
Notwithstanding that every now and
then the popular fancy picks on
some male beauty with a set of
educated eyelashes and the win
some trick of a languishing glance.
