the afternoon of h fight, while JEFF
really was 189 pounds. Billy Nolan, the
later manager of numerous fighters
was the matchmaker for the Montana
Athletic club, which sponsored the
show. Billy used camouflage in an
nouncing Jefford's weight, but the
crowd was wise to the fact that JEFF
ford'S tonnage was right around the
200 mark. Anyway, weight meant moth
ing in the life of the Lowell lad, who
was accustomed to fighting big men.
He made short work of his ponderous
opponent. A quick trip down Queer
street" was Jeffords' fate. Winner take
all, was the arrangement, s. glory and
money went the Gardner route.
Gardner looked like a pocket edition
alongside of JeffordS when they entered
the roped premises. But the boy from
Lowell, Mass, opened up like a jour-
neyman. He had a job to do, and set
about to complete his task with plenty
of fist efficiency. He assumed the lead
from the first gong. He peppered blows
at the giant in all three rounds. The
big boy was slow and the numerous
landing punches bewildered him. He
looked like a dub and never at any
time displayed the ear-marks of a
fighting man.
A minute and a half after the third
round opened, Gardner, to the delight
of the big crowd at the Broadway
theater, had finished his nights work.
AS the bell announced the third STAN

opponent, landing a hard right to the

Sentenced
to State Prison

Three youths were given prison SEN
fences of one year by District Judge
o. F. Goddard at Billings on pleas Of
guilty to charges of entering the Frank
Williams farmhouse south of Laurel

James Kelly, 10, who has been staying
at the Dawson home since leaving a
CCC camp near Bozeman.
Dawson'S sentence was suspended.
The other two have started serving

pronounced last May on a plea OF guilty
to grand larceny. Kelly told officers he
escaped from the Oregon reformatory
last June. Dawson had nc previous
record of a criminal nature.

REFORE you take any prepara-

We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called pain" remedies we're adj
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery Of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year

proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest

THE UTILITY ACT.
Clos Angeles Times)

~~'~D N
 By declaring the Wheeler -Rayburn utility holding company act invalid in it's entirety, United States Dis trict Judge Coleman at Bal timore has dealt a stunning blow to one of the new deals most cherished dreams-that of ultimate government ownership and control of all public utili- ties in the electric field.
 The Judge said: If the constitution be construed to permit what the public ut- ility act aims to accom- plish," he said, then fed eral authority would en- brace practically all actiVi- ties of the people and the authority of the States over their domestic concerns would exist only by suffer- ance of the federal govern ment."
 The language is similar to that of the supreme court in it's MIRA decision, which is natural since the same principle is involved. This is still a federal union, with autonomy in it's component parts. It is not a bureau cratic oligarchy with all it's
