RUINS FIGHT GAME
FOR MEN He BEATS
Losers Know of No Reason
to Build Up for Second
Crack at Joe.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

- r1OA1O, JANUARY ~. - JOG
Louis Is the strong medi-
cine heavyweight boxing has
~ needed since Jack Dempsey
was clipped of the championship.
Louis is a tremendous puncher and an
incompatible boxer and always fights
on the square.
The public knows that Louis always
tries for quick kill and that when
he is in the ring there will be no
waltZes and no monotony.
He is crowd pleaser although
sometimes is little too abrupt to sat-
isfy all the patrons. but that only
emphasizes the honesty of his efforts.
Louis has had a clean record since
he turned professional. No one ever
has gone into the tank for the Brown
Bomber. That has been entirely un-
necessary-he has been much too
good for any of his opponents Nor
does Louis carry an opponent TO
stretch out bout. His idea is to dis
patch a rival with the least effort.
One gets the idea that Louis does
not care for the hot white lights OF
the ring or the applause of the crowd.
Joe never shakes hands with the boys
in the galleries before fight, nor does
he give any smirky smiles. He re-
CARDS fighting as piece of work to
be done as quickly and thoroughly as
possible. His record proves he is
skilled workman.
Carried" Foes for Training.
THE Bomber has allowed couple
of opponents to go the distance
or a greater part thereof, but that
was when he was on the first rungs
of the championship ladder. Jack
Blackburne, the smart old trainer,
thought the boy needed ring expe-
rience and that he could learn more
by actual competition than against
sparring partners.
But since Joe fought Matte Brown
last Winter and since his boxing
reached perfection there has been no
intent of going along with an oppo-
nent. Baer, Camera, Pauline, Retzlaff
and others can testify to that.
The speed with which Louis disposes
of rivals may make it difficult for him
to secure opponents. There's no sense
in any young boxer tackling the
Bomber and many of the fellows on
their way out want no part of him.
When Louis knocks a man out. the
fellow is of little use thereafter.
Louis to all intents and purposes is
the heavyweight champion of the world
today; lacking only the official corona
ton that will come when he fights Jim
Braddock. He'll be champion long
time and an active one if opponents
can be found to keep him busy.

CITIES RENAMED

Those of us who got our smattering
of political geography back i'll the nine
teenth century have seen much of it re-
pealed by the changes which have fol-
lowed the World War.
The map of Europe as we imperfectly
knew it is now something vastly different.
The names of several of the worlds most
famous capitals have been changed, some
of them twice.
st. Petersburg was changed to Petro-
grad early in the World War, and after
the rise of Lenin to power it was called
Leningrad, and SO remains, although it is
no longer the capital of Russia. NOrway's
capital, Christiana, reverted to its ancient
name of Oslo Pekin or Picking was
changed to Eeiping.
The old favorite spelling test, Con
stantinople, has been abolished, and that
Turkish city, no longer the capital is
known as Istanbul, after discarding at vari
Gus times its former names of Stamboul
Byzance, ByZantium, etc.
But there is no likelihood that the
name of our own Washington will be
changed for long time to come.

MERCHANTS AND TRADE

If all the articles that have been writ
ten about trading at home were stretched,
end to end, they would reach around the
universe and back home again.
The idea that it pays citizens to
patrOnize home industry is such simple
truth that some Smart people believe
that there is. catch in it, and they prefer
to be wise" and send off for some thing.
that the foolish" town boosters miss.
This paper has heretofore urged its
readers to buy everything possible iii their
home town, because town or city has,
money balance just as vital to progress as
any individual budget. The more trading
done in Key West the more profits there
will be and the more prosperity, and be-
sides those who have faith enough to open
up business here are entitled to the patron
age of their community.
However, let's keep the argument or
a sound basis, and to do this we must con-
slider the merchants obligation He is not
entitled to the trade of local citizens I'M
less he is really merchant and not a mere
stOrekeeper, content to pluck random
profits of desultory trade Local mer-
chants to merit local patronage must be
modern in their methods, up-to-date in
their appeals and efficient in business
They cannot, and should not expect COM
munity to support incompetency through
misguided home spirit.
Having said SO much about our mer-
chants let us point out that Key West, like
other places, has efficient as we'll as in
efficient merchants. We have reliable
and honest business houses, and, we regret
to say, a few that are not above taking the
profit and forgetting the true principles of
modern business. Readers are urged to be
discriminating i'll their patronage and to
support merchants who are public spirited,
of known honesty and of apparent eff
cheney i'll business. In so doing you will
not lose anything

HEROISM IN EVERYDAY TASKS

Newspapers recently told the story of
two airplane pilots who brought their ship
to earth, saving the lives of their passen-
gers, although seriously burned by fire
caused by a leaking gas line.
Subsequently, Eugene Schacher, of
Houston, Texas, co-pilot, died of his in
juries. Pilot Ed Hefley was seriously
burned as he sat at his post and made a
crash landing. 4... -.
How many people, who read of this
incident, stop to think that these brave
men exemplify the fidelity ofamilhonsa of
men in their daily tasks Most of them, TO
be sure, will never face the same: test of
fire, but given duty under similar cir
cumstances they will stick to their post
and attempt to take care of those entrusted
to their safety.
Everybody regrets the suffering of
these men and the death of Pilot Schacher
but do we not take such heroism little
too much for granted? Or, do we assume
that it is in line with what we expect, and,
if this is so, isn't the race of human beings
probably lot better than we sometimes
say it is?

relief and mounting public debt
The very fact that these problems
are serious makes it all the more I'M
portant that we do not err in our an
alySis. Recently two prominent per-
sons. Dr. Karl Compton, of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and Mr.. Alfred P. Sloan. Jr., President
of General Motors Corporation. have
easily overlooked.
DR.. Compton pointed out that the
era of geographical pioneering is
ending and giving way to the sclen-
tific pioneer. BY this he means that in
our own country and throughout the
world most of the exploration and of
the opening up of new areas have
been completed. To superficial OBJ
servers this at once suggests that we
must pass from an age of abundance
TO one of scarcity. This is entirely
wrong. Anyone who is at all conscious
of the amazing advances in the sci
entific field realizes that the posi-
bilities of securing higher standards
of living by the better utilization of
our existing and rapidly growing
knowledge are almost boundless.
This has been wildly illustrated by
Mr.. Sloan His illustrations are. of
course. drawn from the fields with
which he is most familiar. but similar
illustrations can easily be found in
many other directions. He emphasizes
the vast opportunities for employ
ment in replacing the old with the
new" and Celebrates on the improve

ern styling, their air-conditioned COM
fort, their important savings Of time
and cost" Also he refers to the spec
tacular increase in passenger rev.
enues" that is coming as these new
types of trains are being more widely
used.
All who have travelled on the mod
ern stream-lined train will appreci-
ate what Mr.. Sloan says. But not all
will fully realize the vast implica-
tons of such a change. Our railroad
equipment will be replaced and to
do this hundreds of thousands of
workers must be employed. Moreover
similar changes are pending in other
directions. A vast number of our
houses need 10 be rebuilt This is
partly because many are old and
should in any case be replaced. An
other reason is that modern science is
making possible a far better type Of
home than we have hitherto en-
ioyed. Better illumination. more even
heating, air conditioning and other
comforts can be ours if We care to
have them.
In agriculture. too. science has adj
tasks is to develop the many new
ways of using farm products. AS this
is done there will be no need to worry
over many of our agricultural prob
lens as we have in the past.
DR.. Compton and Mr.. Sloan are
right. There is no lack of work to be
done if we are willing to accept what
the scientific pioneer is offering us. OF
course it will bring many difficult
problems. Many workers will have
to be trained to new and very diff
ferent tasks. Many will have to be
shifted from one occupation to an
other. Some may have to be trans
ferred to new localities.
This VIII not be easy. There will be
much argument over how it should
be done. We shall probably make mis-
takes. Some of the new ventures will
fail and those who do not appreciate
the stupendous changes that are COM
ing so rapidly will be sharp in their
criticisms.
There is no reason to talk of the
impossibility of finding plenty of en-
ployment. There is a tremendous
amount TO be done if we care to do
it. We may. of course. prefer to work
shorter hours and develop more slow
ly. That is quite another matter. The
point is that we need not despair be-
cause of the false notion that there is
not enough that can be done to keep
us all busy.
