Colleges Not Enthusiastic.


MOT only is the general public cold
toward the Olympics, but many
colleges and universities are very dis
interested. In the past colleges and
universities have made individual con.
tributions of from $500 to ST 900 to
the Olympic fund. This year many
former donors are giving nothing; not
even good wishes.
Certain colleges believe they are con.
tributing fair quota in defraying the
cost of their various teams and ath.
letes to the numerous Olympic trials;
some Of which are more or less ridicu-
lous, but give the badge wearers an
opportunity to exercise their white
britches in public.
The official party representing
United States at Berlin will total
around 500 and, since the expense
OF each individual will approximate
s7OO, a grand sum of s35O0OO will be
needed, unless our entries travel over
IN cattle boats or tramp steamers.

Shaded hy CarnAra


I TNTTL that Inflated moment when
Primo Camera, all innocent, strolled
into the ring to meet Leroy Haynes,
blissfully ignorant of the TINT encased
in the huge bronze fists of his oppo-
nent, Brubaker occupied an advan-
tageous position. Obscured by the
vast bulk of Signor Carnera, he was
free to develop in his chosen profess
sion with due attention to the Scien-
tific processes of the art of flsticuffs.
And so he might have continued
until such time as the beckoning
finger of destiny found him ready and
adequately prepared to meet the sum-
mons. That it has made an untimely
appearance is due alone to a fate
which upon occasion is no more kindly
to boxing impresarios than to any one
else in this world Of frustrated de-
visings.
The germ of the situation is to be
found in the fact that Jimmy john
ston. representing the Madison Square
Garden Corporation, has contract
with Jimmy Braddock, world champion
heavyweight. So far so good. but it is
not far enough to be very good, be-
cause the Garden management has no
complete hold on any other heavy
weight qualified to interest the public
as a contender for the. title. Obliga-
ton of Joe Louis to do battle is owned
exclusively by Mike Jacobs, and will
be for five years to come.
Louis Delays Title Bout.
NOV, if all goes well with Jacobs
affairs, the Bronze Bomber will
Join issue with Max Schmeling next
June. In such case, if Louis wins. as
seems morally certain he will, talk has
been that, for various eaSons-income
tax and so forth-Joe's advisers will
steer him clear of a title bout this
year. Included in this strategy is a
series of bouts against lesser opponents
in various parts of the country, and
then battle for the title in 1887, pro-
vided advanced years have not COM
PEELED Braddock to retire.
Camera was being built up. or,
rather, rebuilt, with the design of
meeting this situation. In other words,
he was being rigged as an opponent
for Braddock next Summer. And
everything was progressing merrily.
Looming over the extinguished am
bitions of Impellettiere, Gastanaga
and Neusel, Primo slowly. but surely,
was redeeming his past disadvantages
in the squared circle. Already the
Garden Bowl turnstiles were being
oiled for a night of high pressure
operation. when MuSsolini's one-man
shock troop collided with dusky gen.
tleman who packed all the concen-
trated rancor and vengeful emotions of
his Ethiopian background into three
iconoclastic rounds.

Some Pay Own Way.


TRACK always has supported It's
group, one of the largest on the
Olympic squad, and this year both
the basket ball and boxing squads
will pay their own freight. Money
raised by other means will be used
Tor the cyclists, wrestlers, swimmers,
equestrians, archers and others who
make up the fields in some 100 COM
petitions. In addition, there will be
the expense Of uniforming the SQUAD
and defraying the cost of executive
operations. Where to get the neces-
sary sl00,000?" is the question, and
q very perplexing question it is.
Avery Brundage of Chicago, prest
dent OF the A. A. u, seems quite
confident the necessary money will
be found in some manner. Eve
never get the full quota until the
last moment" he relates, "and am
sure it will be found. 1t always is
difficult to raise Olympic funds, but
the United States never has failed"
I am of the opinion Mr.. Brundage
Is very much of an optimist, but then
it's likely We talk to different classes
OF people. Raising that dough Is the
worry of Mr.. Brundage and Mai. John
L. Griffith, president of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association. and,
unless I am very wrong, it will be
quite a worry.

CHAIN STORES
AID CALIFORNIA
Still Disposing of Canned
Peaches Which Had Be-
come a Market Glut
CAMPAIGN A SUCCESS

Success of the nationwide can
ned California peach sales drive
was assured today, as the third
week of the unique experiment in
marketing surplus crops through
the cooperation of $4,000 chain
grocery stores removed the threat
of a disasterously glutted market
to peach growers of the Golden
State. A phenomenal increase in
canned peach sales throughout the
country, in one instance as high as
| FOG per cent, was shown by figures
released by the California Canning
Peach Sterilization Committee, or
ganized by leading growers in
March to stimulate the consump-
tion of the product. A substantial
reduction already has been made
in the surplus pack of last years
California peach crop, although
sales reports from the principal
chain store organizations, which
went to the aid of the growers at
their request, cover only the first
week of the campaign. H. c. Mer-
ritt, Jr., chairman of the stabiliza-
tion committee, in expressing graf
ification over the results of the
drive to date, pointed out that in
merchandising efforts of this ma
ture sales gather momentum and
said he expected the figures for the
first week would be exceeded by
later returns. The fourth and fin
al California Canned Peach
Events" begins May 25. ut is ap-
parent from the figures furnished
the committee by the chain stores"
said Merritt, that these retailers
have brought the thought of can
ned peaches before more people
during single period than ever
before in the history of the indus
try. One concern reports that for
the first week of the campaign its
sales of California canned peaches
showed an increase of 706 percent
over the corresponding week last
year. Other chain organizations
have reported equally encouraging
increases. Newspaper advertising
in considerable volume, store dis
plays, peach recipes and emphasis
by employees of chain stores on
the food value of canned peaches
have combined to make this a
merchandising campaign of unpre-
cedented proportions. The show
ing to date has convinced our COM
mittee that these measures will

Learn Jiu-Jitsu, Advice
of Veteran Policewomar

New YOrk.-"Every woman, in
every walk of life, needs jiu-jitsu,"
declares Mary E. Hamilton, New
York's first policewoman. mo one
looks askance any longer at the
woman who comes and goes alone,
day and evening, but that does not
protect her from annoyances and
attack"
Strength Is not important In this
ancient japanese method of self
defense, Miss Hamilton points out.
'There are a number of points in
the body where pressure or a slight
blow is sufficient to disable a
tough A knowledge of such facts
and of how to secure the requisite
pressure, with skill in balancing the
body, are the essentials of jiu-
jitsu."
Nor does proficiency in this form
of wrestling develop the physique
of a feminine Danno O'Mahony or
stranger" Lewis, she assures
women who are solicitous of their
figures. 1t strengthens the body
without creating bulging muscles.

home is exposed to any ruffian who
rings her door bell or enters

contends. "She dare not be de-
pendent on a police whistle or a
scream"

THE UNITY OF THE CHURCH
~ ". D. Green, Clayton

BY w. D. Green, Clayton
Clayton, Delaware, May IA -
I would like to say a few words in
your columns regarding the seem
ing carelessness and laxity of the
majority Of the Lords family in
our assemblies today. 1 attended
a meeting in local chapel Sunday
evening where but a short time
ago I noticed much zeal for the
service Of the Lord and a real in
terest in spiritual things. The min
lister preached an approriate ser
mon (as it was Mothers Day) on
the far-reaching influence of the
good mothers as shown by the
characteristics of her offspring in
all places, at all times, after leav-
ing the home nest to meet the evils
and attractions of the world. II
was a straightforward -the-shoulda
talk, but alas! it was delivered to
almost empty seats. Gods children
should realize that they are one
great family and what affects one
members, affects all. Achan orlv
was guilty of the theft of the gold
en- wedge and Babylonish garment.
There were six hundred thousand
souls in the camp and not one of
them probably knew of Achan's
theft, yet God said Israel hath
sinned. All suffer lin a measure)
for the sin Of one, for each one is a
foot, toe, hand or ear of the one
body, and all go to form the whole
body of the Bride of Christ. In
stead of finding fault with each
other Gods children should show
sympathy for each other and not
let self reign where Jesus should
reign by the Spirit. If my brother
differs from me in his walk or
ideas have no God given right to
quit attending the services on that
account, unless he is an apostate
from the Truth. 1 am to uphold
the truth at all costs lest the name
of Jesus be dishonored, but person
al feelings should not be allowed
for moment. So long as my
brother does not offer up strange
fire on the altar our personal diff
ference is of no account as it is of
the flesh only. Christ's return is
imminent and we should all be
looking for Him and not at our
selves.

Kate Smith was guest of honor

Washington, D. c. More than
4, 1000 guests, including numerous
government officials and other dig
nitaries were on hand to witness
the colorful ceremonies which
marked the Radio Stars birthday

first broadcast. While the massed
banks of Washington American

President of The Great Atlantic
and Pacific Tea Company, whose
Washington Unit of 1,50O employ
ees sponsored the party, presented
Miss Smith with 30O-pound
birthday cake, standing six feet in
height. Mr.. Hartford requested
that the huge cake be brought in
after playfully pretending to fun
BILE in his pockets for the little
birthday remembrance he wanted
to give the radio star.
The golden-voiced singer was so
overcome by the enthusiastic re-
lception of her Hometown" people
and the honors heaped upon her
that she was forced to borrow a
handkerchief frim the master-of-
ceremonies, Mr.. Harry Butcher.
I'm SO happy" she confessed.

Mr.. Malloy and Mr.. Jacobson
presented Miss Smith with a bou-
lquet and a handsome engraved
medallion. Mr.. Frieser, on behalf
of the American Red Cross, prais-
ed her for her work in securing
contributions for the stricken vic
TINS of the floods, and gave her a
parchment scroll in recognition of
her services.
Addressing the assembled guests
Mr. Hartford declared that the
welfare of each and every en-
ployee was the thing nearest his
heart. And when he said, I'VE are
more interested in building men
than balance Sheets" he received a
tremendous ovation.
Mr.. Paley, extending his con-
