What Rassling Needs Is Erudition
and Culture, Avers Ellis Bashara.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

" bouquet Of horseradish in his
hair for business reasons, il
what would call an educated man
and, furthermore, he represents the
latest step in the evolution of the
rassling industry.
Darwin has traced the evolution of
rassling types as follows:
l. The polyp.
2. The polyp who knew the answers
The chihpanzee.
4. The Greco-Roman rassler.
S. The Turkish or Armenian i'm
ported menace.
6. The ordinary modern rassler,
Stranger Lewis type.
Z The educated, or college bred,
rassler.
don't know enough about polyps
to string along with the great Darwin
in his classification. so I will begin
my own personal evolutionary chart
with the educated. or college bred,
ra>sler. whose development may be
traced as fololws:
l. The primitive cultured type, or
smaller. Example, Wayne big" Mum.
2. The flying tackler. Example. Gus
Sonnenberg.
3. The drop-kicker. Example, Joe
Savoldi.
4. The highly cultured type. or
slammer. Example. Ellis Bashara.
Has Message for Modern Youth.
NOW this Bashara, Aside from be-
ing highly developed in the
Uranium and thoroughly educated in
all the sections and segments of his
skull, is a thoughtful young man with
a message for modern youth. He
states his case better than I could do.
Young men of America" says Mr..
Bashara. "the hour of the educated
rassler has struck. am issuing call
to arms to all those who can pit skill
and cunning and cranial refinement
against the brute force of the pre-
historic-type rassler. This Is the era
of intelligence, when the man with

Bashara. Il use horseradish in my

the mustard family-roripa armoracia

incidentally, also may be employed
to induce sneezing and lachrymal ac-

victim. When he cries and sneezes,

Mr.. Bashara is . truly noble

His eyes give OF glow Of in

ENGINEERS HURDLE
STATIC TROUBLES
Local Electrical Storms
Only Radio Reception
Worry Now.
EY the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
n A ANS ingenuity is responsible
M for success in the drive
against static and other dis
turbing factors in radio re-
ception.
The atmospheric conditions that
prevailed in the early days OF broad
casting, and time unrecorded before
that. still prevail. These atmospher-
les, for the most part, are blamed on
sun spots.
But engineers, by building broad
casting tranSmitters that 60 as high
as 100000 watts in power rating, and
by making receivers that are easily
million times more sensitive than
the catwhiskers Of the crystal set
days, find their signals riding the
ether waves with an ease almost un-
believable
About the only situation that still
gives cause for worry evolves around
local electrical storms in Summer.
They produce plenty Of thunder-gen-
Grated static, so heavy at times that
reception Is impossible. However,
such storms, as a rule, produce only
momentary interruptions.
Really, though, the source RESPONSE
bic for most Of the disturbances that
tend to lower the quality OF reception
Is believed by such research engineers
as Charles W. Horn, chic. of that
division at N. B. c., to be the much
discussed sun spots He points cut
that carefully kept records over pc
riods of years have indicated that the
spots-storms on the flaming sun--
apparently pump streams Of tlectrons
toward the earth, bombarding the at
mosphere with electrical energy that
makes itself manifest upon radio and
other things
Horn believes that the aurora
borealis, or northern lights, has little.
II anything, to do with poor reception
conditions. Rather, it is visual
phenomena which probably is trace
able to the selfsame sun spots. In
fact. he himself has experienced both
good and bad reception while the
northern lights were curtaining the
SKY with their many hues.
Still another source Of reception
disturbance is attributed to certain
weather conditions on earth. Here
again, there is a developing school
that can cite many reasons 20. the
theory that sun spots have their
effect on the weather.
AS rule, sun spots run in a cycle
Of II years. When they are the most
predominant, reception drops in pro-
portion. At present the cycle is on
its upward swing. after dropping to
its lowest point, with indications tnp,
reception, particularly long distance.
will decrease accordingly.
