American featherweight from Bal

tured in another boxing program
by Promoter Joe Turner and
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn in the
near future as q result of their
fine exhibition Of fiSticuffing last
night at the Arena.
Battling like wildcats for eight
rounds, the featherweights stole
the show for the second time this
season. The bout ended in q
draw.
In the semiwindup, Johnny
"Swede" Anderson, the European
lightheavyweight champion. regis
tered a six-round technical knock
out over Bob Turner, Of Newport
News.
However, the real upset Of the
night was when Carey Wright,
local boy, won his eleventh con-
secutive bout by stopping Leroy
Zinkman, Of Baltimore. in two
minutes Of the sixth round.
Sixteen hundred jammed the
Arena to witness the show. Joe
Doty opened the program with q
decision over Joe DeMario, Of
Baltimore.
Galiano and Dean went at q
fast clip for eight rounds, the
boys never slowing up. Both
swung wildly, yet effectively and
their milling had the crowd on
edge from start to finish. A week
ago, the pair battled to q six

PADUCAH, KY, April 8.-As the
Ohio River continued to rise toward an
anticipated crest of 40 feet here, the
Red Cross, United States Engineers,
w. p. A. and c. C. C. crews pressed
rescue efforts at fiood-stricken Barlow,
a few miles downstream, where 200
families were routed from their homes
by swirling water.
Reaching a depth of from 8 to 10
feet in some low points OF the valley,
flood waters inundated large area
surrounding Barlow, estimated by river
men at $4,000 acres.
Homes in the downtown residential
district of Paducah were in water to
first-foor ceilings, the city's central
wholesale business district was iso-
later, and a new $4,000 park along
the river was under water.

In the upper valley flood fears were
slight. the river giving no sign Of
approaching the high marks Of the
last two weeks. Meteorologist w. G.
Deyereaux of Cincinnati predicted
that, except in lowland regions, the
Ohio would remain in its banks from
Pittsburgh to Cincinnati. He indicated
the crest at Point Pleasant and Hunt
ington, w. Va, would not reach flood
stage.
At Cincinnati where flood level is
50 feet. he predicted crest OF from

While the main section OF Barlow,
located high on a bluff overlooking
the river, was safe. practically all the
homes in the flats" section were filled
with water,
C.H. Rhodes, United States engineer
at Paducah, said he was informed that
several homes, built on mounds to
avoid floods, had toppled into the
water. The occupants were rescued
but their belongings swept away.

a warning today to the League OF

The editorial in the Popolo DItalia
coinciding with the peace session ol

four principal points:
l. Emperor Halle Selassie, by order
ing his imperial bodyguard to begin an
attack near Lake Ashangi last week
which resulted in victory for the Fascist
Northern Army, defaulted his pledge
of preliminary discussions looking to
q peaceful solution of the war.
2. The Gojjam and Gala popula-
tionS, like those of Tigre and Dana
kilia, are in open revolt against the
Adds Ababa empire. Italy will not
permit these populations, after this
break, to be brought under that tyr
amy again"

mediately agreed that the farmers who
had carried out their contracts in good
faith should be compensated, and Mr.
Roosevelt has asked for new taxes
with which to compensate them. He
even went further, and is seeking So
called windfall levy which would take
away the processing taxes which the
court ordered returned to the process
sors who had paid them.
If Justice Van Devanter's code were
accepted generally, all of the bene-
ficiaries under the A A. A. would re-
turn their money. and there would be
no suggestion of finding some kind Of
new tax to hit these professors whom
the court held had been required to
pay illegal taxes in the first instance.
In fact, the revelation about the
justice, coming at time when the
nine old men" are the subject Of
bitter controversy, will excite comment
on several angles. To put it brutally,
and some of the attacks against the
court has been on this plane, the JUS
tice knew when he voted against the
A. A. A. that it was costing him some
S700. Yet there was severe criticism
of Justice Butler only a few weeks
ago for voting on railroad case when
he had formerly been attorney for the
railroads
When Chief Justice Hughes was ap-
pointed by Mr. Hoover there was q
heated fight on his confirmation on
the grounds that his private practice
had been mostly for corporations. And
the genesis of the present impeach-
ment hearing of Federal Judge Ritter
revolves around his appointment of a
former utility lawyer as special master
in utility rate case.
Justice Van Devanter's action, it is
pointed out, furnishes evidence of the
objectivity with which the justices
review cases that come before them.

q waste of time to be continually
going to movies or driving around dis
cussing unimportant things or dancing.
But John always shook his head AT
the mention of lecture or concert,
and Ellen discovered that she wanted
his companionship more than a
symphony.
SURPRISINGLY, John seemed to
~ care for her, too, although he had
never said anything definite. Still
his attitude was enough to encourage
even . philosophic pessimist like
Ellen. This evening would settle
things. she hoped. Especially for the
occasion, she had bought very simple
and charming gingham dress-just
the thing for the good housewife.
She wanted low bowl OF flowers
on the table and a delicious supper.
That was important, for she had
learned that John was an epicure.
Unlike most men, he enjoyed the
unusual in food. Well, Ellen would
give it to him. Serving the meal, she
would be cool and poised, just the
opposite from the hot, flustered cook;
she could imagine how John would
hate the latter.
She would show him that just as
one can be efficient in business one
could be efficient in housekeeping.
John was q great admirer Of efficiency.
He had first noticed Ellen at the office
on New York avenue, because Of her
skill in tipping and shorthand.
'I like a woman who handles her
fob like q man" he had said, de
pending on efficiency and skill, not
on her looks or coy manner" So
he would naturally want a wife who
would see that the affairs Of the home
went with the same smoothness as
those at the Office.
WISELY, she got up early on the
wv momentous first day Of her va
cation. Elaborate frozen desserts were
q favorite Of Johns. Ellen did not
have very much idea of how long it
would take the coffee parfait to freeze,
but she planned to have it in the re-
frigerator early. Unfortunately, 1t
took much longer to prepare than she
had imagined. The recipe had seemed
30 simple. But she did manage to put
Il In before lunch.
Then there were the dirty dishes:
even when merely serving herself a
delicatessen lunch Ellen soiled an
extraordinary number of dishes. 1t
went against her grain to work in
sloppy kitchen, but Ellen finally de-
cided that she had better let the dishes
60 until she had the frozen fig salad
on ice. That task was completed at
2 o'clock and Ellen was just rejoicing
over having few minutes to rest
when there was a knock at the door.
It was Anita, who lived across the
hall, . little fluffy thing who could
never have kept q job for week.
Ellen alternately despised and liked
her. At least she fed ones ego-but
Q pest sometimes. Now for in
stancs.

Please help me-"
I'm very sorry" began Ellen, but
she was used to obhging and soon
joined her neighbor In the search for
the elusive Buster.
The dog was duly found in the base
ment with the janitor, but not till
after more than an hours search by |
the two girls. When Ellen returned
to the apartment 1t was almost
o'clock-and John was coming at 6.
She surveyed the rest Of her menu:
Southern fried chicken, shallow fried
vegetables, orange marmalade, bis
cults and black walnut cookies.
From her experience of the morn
ing she gathered that 1t always took
longer time to make anything than
one expected. And then she wanted
to bathe and dress before John ar
rived; she looked at herself now and
wondered what he would think If he
could see her. She was quite sure
that If she didn't lie down for a few
minutes she would say something cross
to him. Darn Anita and her dog, any
way!
MANY jeople have written Of the
agonies Of cooking when one Is
inexperienced. Simply imagine
compilation of all Of them, and you
will have a picture of Ellen during
the next two hours. How could
one be efficient under these condi-
tions?
A few minutes before o'clock she
was wondering desperately why she
hadn't called John previously and
told him that she was i'll. Suddenly
she heard a knock at the door. Filled
with despair, she went to answer-a
painfully hot, disheveled and untidy
person. Instead Of finding John she
saw Anita again.
I've been having such trouble with
Buster" the girl began.
"Oh, you have. have you?" shouted
the exasperated Ellen, losing her tenn
per for the first time in three years.
well, Buster can 60 to blazes, and 80
can you, you imbecilic little"
Ellen stopped short and gazed with
horror at John, who had just appeared
at the door. He looked at her very
queerly, then turned to Anita and
said, Get out of here! Can't. you see
you're annoying her?" To Ellen he
said gently. Whats the matter,
dear?"
This was too much for Ellen. She
burst into tears and cried. "Oh, John.
was going to have everything SO nice
for you-just perfect. And it's all
gone wrong. The salad won't freeze
and cut my finger chopping walnuts
and Anita's such a little beast!"
She couldn't imagine why John had
put his arms around her, and was
murmuring comforting words, and
calling her delightfully."- human" and
sweet" and adorable" But she liked
1t very much. 1t was really quite
perfect.
