Boxing Commissioner Brown is
quoted as boasting that he engi-
neered that fine-feathered bit of Hit
lerism which forced the well-beaten
Jannazzo into a bout with Barney
Ross. He is also quoted as demand
ing "and so, what about it," One
answer is that Mr.. Brown should
consider his own case and then fire
himself on the grounds of incompe-
tence.
One reason why Boston College is
returning to the high football estate
of the days of Major Cavanaugh is
that Gil Dobie is one of the nations
five best coaches. Another reason
is that rs B. C. alumni are coach
ing New England prep and high
schools. Brooklyn apparently
does better with the ponies than
with its baseball palOOkas. In proof
look at the eminent trainers, Hirsch
Jacobs and Fred Kraft, and then
recall Walter Miller, who still holds
the record for the most winners
booted home in a season. Joe
Taylor, who once trained Jack
Dempsey, now has taken up with
another winner, having Joined the

National Hockey League direc-
tors, for the most part, were willing
to be patient with Bill Dwyer. But
he wanted the league to put another
pot of money into his Americans
and thus caused the big blowoff. Or,
at least, that is what the N. H. l..
directors are saying now that their
untidy tempest has subsidized. It
is estimated that a cool two million
skins (Francis Albertanti, the A. B..
c. publicist, probably means dol
lars) will be spent during the Amer
lean Bowling Congress to be held in
New York from March II to April
10. Preston and Selby Burch, the
Washington horsemen who wind up
winning half of the races at Bowie
each year, are the most famous OF
the turf's brother acts. Both OF
them, incidentally, are international
figures, having trained abroad dur
ing the dark, reform-wave years
when New York outlawed racing
and the sport was dead in Maryland
and Kentucky.
Treasurer Jack Mackie Of the

Legend Of the Augean Stables
@-WNU Service.

The legend of the Augean stables
is that Augeas, Greek king of Ellis,
had a stable of 5000 oxen which
had not been cleaned for 80 years.
Hercules was given the task of
clearing the stables in one day with
the promise of one-tenth of the cat
tie, if he succeeded. The god ac-
copied the challenge and turned the
River Alpheus through the stable,
which Immediately carried away
the filth. On the refusal of Augeas
to keep his word a war ensued.
Hercules conquered and put Augeas
to death.

Passing of the Train Butcher
THERE'S melancholy in the
Il news that the railroad "train
butcher" is vanishing. Soon, like
so many fixtures of the passing
generation, such as the dried-pota-
to as cure for rheumatism and the
dropping sidewhisker, he'll be an
extinct species.
In my earliest recollections of
travel he has a fond place, along
with the lunch put up in a congress
shoe box, the cinder in the eye and
the smell which made every day
coach remind you of woodpecker's
nest.
On almost the first car trip I ever
made unaccompanied twas he who
sold me a sealed volume entitled
'"The Jolly Old Drummer's Spicy
Library" with a whispered warn
ing not to break the wrapper be-
fore leaving the train for fear of
arrest. remember my guilty feel

Ugly Railroad Stations
MO MATTER which way you're
~ going, it seems you must
change trains in Chicago, and near
ly always, change stations as we'll.
Chicago proudly boasts of more
railroad stations and uglier ones
and situated at more remote and
inconvenient intervals from one an
other than any city anywhere. It's
as though once upon time she set
out to collect the largest covey of
truly homely stations in the world
and then the bunch flushed and scat
tered on her.
Yet as far as I can find out-cor-
rect me if I err-there's no struc-
tural reason why through cars on
most lines could not be switched
directly to the connecting lines with
out being brought into the heart of
the city. Maybe Chicago loves the
distinction of being the largest juno
ton point on earth.
Hungarian Duels
YOUR correspondent has been
L quite calm about that Budapest
Doctors string of nine duels. lived
through several Kentucky primary
elections, so a scrap where you
don't have to replace any divots
afterward leaves me comparative
ly calm.
There's an average of 300 duels
every month in Hungary, but to date
the only fatalities are among those
who were bored to death waiting
for something to happen. It's fine
to be able to appease your sacred
honor without losing any of your
sacred epidermis.
If, in the old days, we'd only had
that system for adjusting political
differences, I can think of at least
one uncle and several cousins of
mine who might still be alive and
voting the regular Democratic
ticket.

PUBLICOPINI0N
BIG QUESTION
AT FARLEY

Public relations officials Of
Washington banks are impressed
with the program outlined for the
twenty-first annual convention Of
the National Financial Advertisers
Association scheduled for the mid
die of next month at Nashville,
Tenn. Several here are planning
to attend the gathering Of finan-
cial advertising experts which will
consider not only advertising and
public relations concerning finan-
cial institutions but will also hear
leaders in public relations in other
fields.
Public Favor Sought
It was pointed out by promi.
nent banker that one of the most
important fields for cultivation
by bankers at the moment is that
of public opinion. That much
used word, propaganda" has
for several years doomed large in
the American banking situation
and, according to recent state
ment by Edward L. BernayS be-
fore the Massachusetts, Bankers
Association, politicians and othsrs
have not hesitated to use their
own propaganda to increase pub
lie dissatisfaction with the bank
ing system.
An unusual feature of the pro-
gram at Nashville will be the re-
port of a survey on what most
people don't know about bank.
ing" While Washington bank
public relations men point to
much informative advertising by
local banks, which have taken
the public largely into their con-
fidence regarding the relation
ship between the bank and its
customers, it is felt that discus
sion at the coming convention
will prove highly valuable.
Confidence Needed
The statement by Edward L.
Bernays, said in conclusion:
"The problem of banks today
is to formulate and carry
through campaign to regain
the confidence and the regard
of the public. Only in this way
can they regain their erstwhile
position, by an intelligent and
forceful effort to correct the
widespread and dire miSappre-
tensions that today exist about
banking responsibility, banking
procedure, and the validity of
banks. Only in this way can
they assure their own continu-
ance and the continuance Of
our whole economic and finan-
cial system"

LOWER AFTER
EARLY RISE
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Aug 26. G.NS0.
The stock market drifted irregu-
Iarly lower today after an early
rise led by steel shares. Selling

stocks and checked the rise.
Steels held partial gains but else
where declines were common.
Utilities were sluggish. General
Motors slipped and Chrysler lost
an early gain.
Case threShing fell over 2
points in farm imp e m n S.
Sugars were higher for a while
led by South Porto Rico but
turned mixed later. Anaconda
and some other coppers showed
better demand early but this
petered out.
Bethlehem held part of a point
rise and U. S. Steel was frac-
tionally higher. U. S. Steel pre-
ferred hit a new high. Fractional

ness.
