The comeback trail has led the
Kid right smack back into bigtime.
He had sunk into Oblivion a few
years ago. Chocolate hasn't, of
course, the swing of yesteryear.
Time Marches On. And it steps on
lots of people. The Kid is no ex-

the fire. And he's making history
the always absorbing history

BY otheus W. Staple

The terrific pace which the Car
Of Comback, Kid Chocolate, has
been staging in the field of fistiana
these few months back, continued
at a roaring speed last week when
the ex-champ finished Johnny
peFoe, tough West Side feather
weight, in the ten-rounder at the
Garden on Thursday night. This
was the Kids third victory in
seven days anu it was a signal
one. Although Chocolate went up
against a warrior of marked mettle
he emerged the furious fstic furry
with flying colors. 5000 fans who
paid 1892, witnessed the bitterly
fought battle. Chocolates superior
boxing was as relentless as De-
Foes onrushing attack. The West
Slider made strong charges against
he midsection of the ex-champ in
the first few rounds, but was sue
~cessfully repulsed, finally giving it
up as a useless job. It was a long
range flight as far as the Kid was
concerned and he kept it that way,
using to advantage his character
istically sweeping rights and lefts
that cover plenty territory and do
q gang of damage on the reeeiv-
ing end.
The opening rounds saw the Gu
ban rock De Foe with rights to the
jaw which resounded through the
Garden and curved right over to
Times Square, but De Foe (some
stuff) kept advancing, never TAX
ing a backward sep. In the second,
Chocolate whipped out to the New
Workers. jaw. De Foe, however,
sprang back with the elasticity of
rubber band. But the spring was
just as harmless. In the third, De
Fore scored with both hands to the
mid-section, at the same time
causing the Kid to muff a few to
the head. But beginning with the
fourth round, Cocolate had things
IS way, raining lefts and rights
from every angle. Lovely to look
at, only to look at, was the attempt
ed rally in the tenth of the indo-
minitable West Slider when he tried
. melt the Chocolate with a bar
rage of conyining rights to the
Kids jaw. But that was just a bit
Of a game of tag. And De Foe was
it. Chocolate really tagged him,

Georgia Asked to Stay
Execution of Two Men

New York, Sept. 2-Governor e.
Rivers of Georgia has been asked
to grant a stay of execution in the
cases of two young Negroes ar
rested and convicted at Columbus,
Ca, on a charge of numbering a
white man.
In a letter which reached the
NAACP by a round about method,
it was stated that the white man
was shot on July 31st and the two
young Negroes were picked up a
day or two later and evidently in
capture both we're shot. Despite
this they were placed on trial Au-
gust 9th, without having adequate
medical treatment. In a very short
trial they were found guilty and
sentenced to be executed on Sep
TENDER Bird.
The NAACP has not been in
formed of what legal defense was
given the men, but it seems appar-
ent that no adequate defense could
be prepared on such short notice
and furthermore that no defend
ants could be said to receiving due
process of law when they are for
ced to defend themselves in court

VILLAGE TOTEM POLES
RISE 5O-FO0T HEIGHT
Odd Old Indian Community Lies
on Combination Train-ship
Cruise Route.

PRINCE RUPERT, British Colum-
bia, April 3.-One of the most re-
markable villages in Canada lies $50
miles east of Prince Rupert, in Brit
ish Columbia. It's name implies "peo-
pie Of place Of plenty Of rabbits" and
is spelled "Kitwanga" Although not
widely known, Kitwanga is on a cruise
route through British Columbia, a
combination rail and water journey
through the Canadian Rockies to
Jasper National Park and along the
Inside Passage.
Travellers are amazed at Kitwanga
because Of its large number of totem
poles the armorial bearings of ancient
Indian families and its grave houses"
the sepulchres OF the tribesmen. 1t
is a favorite research ground for stu
dents piecing together the story of the
North American Indian. Kitwanga
totems rise IS to so feet in height
A wise government has restored and
preserved those that have suffered
from the weather. The carvings on
the huge cedar logs are those strange
shapes Of man and god, devil and
beast, that record the history of fam
lily and tribe. Not only the architec-
ture Of the grave houses is interesting,
but there are tonbstones and inscrip-
tions that are fascinating reminders
of bygone culture.

Sicily, Still Beautiful in Old
Setting, Is Being Rediscouered

of <the Athenian civilization in its
westward march. Near the square
from the Communal Palace is the
seventeenth century architecture de-
signed by Giovanni Vermexro, which
became the model Of a Towering Re-
naissance Beyond, beginning with
the Palace Of the Barons, are the
buildings of the eighteenth century,
where massive gables and portals are
relieved at the end of the thorough
fare by the classical lines and Ionian
rhythm seen in the standing temples
of the sixth and seventh centuries.
Palermo, the capital city, teens
with an interest from Arabo- Norman
days Golf courses and a glorious
beach seashore, with street crowds of
continental strangers, reveal its busy
atmosphere. From the harbor up the
Piazza Vialiena tourist volume Of
memory chapters unfolds in kaleido-
scope Of cathedrals and palaces. Con-
tanning the celebrated tomb Of Fred
erick II is the Great Cathedral of
Santa Maria with its magnificent IA
cade reaching to its mighty belfry
towers. Adjacent to this glorious ex-
ample Of Norman architecture are the
royal palaces Of golden doorways, the
candlestick builders, the Museum OF
Art and Sculpture, the theaters and
the ancient Benedictine monasteries.
Among the sights of international
fame are the 20-mile Palermo Gar
dens, which stretch to the hills and
along the roadway to the resort city

PARIS, April 3.-Montmartre, the
famous old district Of Paris, again will
become one of the sightseeing haunts
during the Paris International Expo
sition. While many writers and poets
have deserted the famous section, it
nevertheless has a lure for all visitors
to Paris. Everybody has heard OF the
Moulin Rouge and Chat Noir, of Pi-
casso and the cubists, but few visitors
realize that Montmartre's artistic fame
only dates from 1880. when its rustic
charm attracted the French romantic
poets, Victor Hugo, Gerard de Nerval
and their comrades.
This season, as visitors climb the
sacred butte" they will note many
changes undergoing in the old district.
Among the IL windmills which deco
rated the. district summit, only 2 re-
main today. The windmill "Blue- I'M"
was where Debray was shot, and re-
mains in It's original preservation, with
the Moulin de la Galette" in the Rue
Lepic, rebuilt in 1925.
While the Montmartre of the COS
proudly called itself the navel of the
world" the postwar building orgy has
removed many landmarks. A few his
teric houses have been spared. Behind
the high stone walls at IL Rue Cortot
stands the seventeenth century farm
house built by Claude de la Rose, a
member Of Moliere's troupe. Another
precious relic Of old times is the Cha
teau des Brouillards, In the Rue Girar-
don, once folly" of the eighteenth
century, made famous by Gerard de
Nerval.
The Place du Tertre alone preserves
more or less its original aspect and is
changed but little since a hundred
years ago. Recently an attempt was
made to revive the viticultural renown
Of Montmartre by planting vineyards
of the Rue des Saules, on the site of
the vanished park Of La Belle Gabrielle.
The new vines will be in bloom this
Summer and will give q touch Of the
old Montmartre to exposition visitors
who knew Paris and the district in
the gay COS.

PALERMO, April 3.-Long off
the tourist-ridden paths of Mediter-
ranean sightseeing, Sicily is rapidly
becoming a new focal point for a Sc
lect coterie of sophisticated travellers.
Within the past two years the. island
has become a Spring rendezvous for
many Europeans who seek its balmy
temperature and gorgeous Towering
season"
While many travellers sin, praises
Of Sicily's scenes in Spring and laud
natures lavish decorations of tints
and blossoms seen in the sunshine
medley from vineyards, orange and
lemon groves, the graceful Renais-
sances unfold their counter attrac-
tions for many visitors.
The approach to Syracuse recalls to
mind the nymphs that chose it for
their abode. Descending from the
mountains, the city appears floating
on a sapphire sea and dreaming of
its glorious millenary history. From
the modern quarters built within the
high and mighty Spanish walls, are
the gates which lead to the old town,
closely built over an island where its
homes, darkened by ages and huddled
together, hide the prospective Of the
classical Ortygia. In the narrow,
winding Oriental streets are the six
teenth and seventeenth century
homes, fronting classical and medieval
monuments. On the slopes of the
Hyblaean Mountains are the old
Doric temples where Greek Syracuse
was spread in the greatness and glory

AS to coronation styles In general,
