1T WAS near the end of the second
round that the Argentine, nervous
but game, first caught Louis Jaw with
MS right glove. Up till then Joe was
swinging without a return and grow
ing more confident every minute.
When he took that punch, the crowd
screamed with excitement. They saw
that Joe was shaken, and they re-
membered the Schmeling fight when
one rieht-hand blow exploded the
legend OF Louis invincibility forever.
Louis, surprised. but not hurt. closed
with Brescia and was banging him
around near the ropes when the round
ended. But that one toss pulled the
spectators to the edges of their seats
waiting for more. and Brescia gave
them more before he fell down to stay.
His nose had started bleeding in the
first round, Louis opened the wound
again at the start of the third, hook
ing with his left and following with a
right to the body in close. Maybe you
remember the details of the Schmeling
fight. 1t was that left lead Of Joe's
that got him into trouble. This time
Bresc!a took one Of those lefts. like
Schmeling. and instead of clinching.
he threw his right. That was what
Schmeling did.

Metropolitan news., 1936-10-24
SOME OF THE THINGS
HE HAS DONE:

It would truly take a large book
to record the things which President
Roosevelt has accomplished since he
assumed the office as Chief EXecu-
tive. He acted when he took Office,
and he acted the ROOSEVELT way
and did not stand back and wait to
see what people thought or what they
would suggest He was elected Presi-
dent by the people and no one else
and he is responsible to the people
and no one else. Some of the great
Democrats of the o u n r y have
thrown their crutches at him also,
but he could never have done what
he has. if he had been tied down with
them. It was the salvation OF this
country and each of us that the Pres
idont did not waste time with them.
Roosevelt was elected by the people
to get us out of the condition that
had oyertaken us. He was selected
from all of the 13O, 100000 people to
SAVE US and he did. Why then
should he have trusted the job to
another? ROOSEVELT was elected
President. Not Al Smith, not Senator
Reed, not Governor Ely, not Colby
nor any of the others who are now
dissatisfied. These men would not
have cooperated with the President
or anyone else They style them
selves as leaders. But the country
elected ROOSEVELT as it's LEAD
ER and not them! This country
could have elected anyone it chose
and it chose ROOSEVELT and he
has come through 100 per cent plus.
If you were elected to Christianize
a country, you would not surround
yourself with infdels, atheists and
agnostics, would you? Well, if you
did you would never do your job.
That is what was in the mind of the
president when he selected his men.
Men to work with and cooperate with
him in carrying out the great work
and the promises he had made to
the people of this country. He could
not have done the great work he has
done in any other way. All of the
speeches made by the disgruntled
Democrats, when analyzed, amounts

New York, Nov. at is neces-
sary at intervals to write column
on this theme if for no other reason
than to save postage. For get
more letters asking me about how
to get in on the writing racket than
any other one subject.
OF course, not all of them are
phrased as indelicately as that Many
speak of the career of beautiful let
tiers as an advocation or ask where
for a. minimum of time and effort, a
workable knowledge of the craft can
be obtained. What are the best cor
respondence schools and who are
the ranking professors of short story
technique?
Once I did a short piece on Bob
Miller, the man who has become rich
turning out scores of pop" songs a
week, many on tropical subjects. The
result was flood of requests for Mr.
Miller's address, each with the con-
fession that the writer was in a po-
sition to supply words for songs in
quantity.
Not single correspondent offered
music for songs or asked where verse
writer's could be found to collaborate
All of the ambitious folk were poets
This is significant
In the same way would-be writers
have plenty of plots All they need
is the tissue and ribbons of correct
ver4bage in which to offer them to
the world. No one ever says, II can
write well enough, but 1 can never
think of anything to write about
They have the verses, in other words,
and can devise additional happy SEN
timerts by the yard, but they need
the clear, sharp, palpable music neces
sary to set them off properly.
And the music, in both cases is the
important commodity. I think fail
ure to recognize this simple fact is
what causes a gerat many people to
waste much good time and money an
nually on schools" and shortcut
courses in the short story" The plots
which they have in such quantity and
which lead them to believe they
should embrace the most onerous
career on earth, really are worth
about dime a dozen. They are the
cores of the apples-necessary but
not the edible, salable meat.
There are many academies of com
position some bearing the apparent
stamp of approval of established au
thors. The courses they offer may wei

ers, enrolling in them, may learn
enough of the fundamentals of good
usage to turn the scales from rejec-
tons to acceptances.
But the professors in these schools
puzzle me. Many of them claim to be
professional authors and to have sold
to the big magazines. Their names
rarely evoke instant recognition from
the covers of national monthlies; but
if their claims are valid. then what
are they doing IN another profession,
less interesting, obviously less well
paid and certainly less satisfying than
the one in which they qualified
The schools, and I am constantly
assured that there are excellent ones,
can teach syntax, the preparation of
manuscripts and the avoidance of the
themes commonly tabooed by maya
zine editors. These services alone
should make them, in many cases,
worth the fees. they charge. But I
think that writer should learn these
things before he is even in position
to decide whether he wants to enter
the writing profession as full-time
business.
And that, folks, is all I have been
able to learn about the writing racket,
after having run with the mob for
fifteen years.
