been quietly passed from the White House birth
control measure loaded with even more than the
usual religious explosives. This one touches on
the sovereign power of the United States over its
insular possessions. Specifically it raises this
question for an overheated Senate and House,
possibly for the Supreme Court to determine:
Can the natives of Puerto Rico amend the con-
stituton of their island to make legal there act
which is written down as felony in the penal
code of the United States? The act is the legali-
cation of the use of contraceptiveS.
Political Headache
When the White House without recommends
ton forwarded to the Congress the bill for their
consideration it passed along one Of the finest
political headaches that this headachy year
has developed.
If it comes up for debate the measure now
cooling off in the House Committee of Insular
Affairs, will open up a Sevenyear-old cat and
dog fight over birth control The scrap to date
has involved the powerful forces of the Catholic
Church in Puerto Rice (the island is over 80 per

. Already, the White House and Congress
are being bombarded by proponents and
opponents of the bill. The opponents are
here in the Capital, declaring that the
President on his 1885 visit to the Island
gave assurance that the New Deal admin
istration would not further any movement
violating the religious beliefs OF the Cath
olics. The native proponents of the bill
are raising the cry Yankee meddlng."
Violent protests against the relief
money maternal educational program closed
the New Deal clinics which had been
openly denounced as centers of birth con-
troll propaganda. Since the passing of the
amendment by the Puerto Rico legislature, pr.
vate funds have opened six clinics for this pur-
pose.

 l dislike to bring the sordid game of box fighting into @ discussion of yachting but there is parallel be- tween Ranger and champion fight CT who is too good for his class. When a champion gets too deadly his class withers away from lack of competition.
 Xachtsmen have higher scorn for persons who don't like or under- stand their game than any other group of sportsmen. And they can outpose even the A. A. U. officials at track meets, this of course, places them head, shoulders, neck, and Adams apple above any other posers in the world.
 The goal of all marine men is to do everything the hardest way. Otherwise, why would they build boats without motors and then insist on sailing them dead against the wind7 Why would they use flags to convey messages, and bells to an. nounce the time. Speaking of bells, I've heard 50 many in the past week that my head is ringing with half a hundred of them. So many, in fact, that two Swiss gentlemen have been pestering me all day to rent them my head for a concert tour. Sailors ring bells at dinner, supper, break. fast. when man goes overheard, when it's full speed ahead, when it's full speed to one side. when it's foggy, when it's clear, when it's any. thing.
 If Sherman Hoyt were to take the helf of Endeavour End and 90 out against Ranger tomorrow he'd be longer c shot than 6 to 5.
 Swap Boats
 The only way to ever prove just how superior Ranger Is to Endeav. our End would be for Vanderbilt and Ranger to swap boats and stage q match race. If such a race were held 1t would draw the biggest spectators fleet in the history of the cup, and Vanderbilt. on Endeavour End would be the betting favorite.
 There is nothing that will cure sea sickness but land and time.

Substituting for Tony Andreas at the last minute. Emil (Bad Boy) Et- ters surprised his millions of critics by turning in a good fight against Young BuSnbo of New Haven, which was ruled a draw by Referee Thom- as Mccarthy. The three-round bout, which in spots resembled bar room brawl pleased everyone of an- other large crowd of fans which found It's way into the Randolph Gloves stadium. It looked like a mob of about 2,S00 customers and another financial and tlstic success for Mickey Dance and Bobby Kelly, co.promoterp of the show, licensed under the Waterbury A. c. banner.
 Ettcrs was good deal more ser- ious than usual, and cut out much Of his usual clowning, used solid left hook with good effect to the head and body of Bunbo, while the strong bull-like New Haven middle weight fought back as hard as he knew how, once upsetting Etters while coming out of a corner. Et- ters seemed to have @ shade the best of the going, though the draw ver- dict was generally satisfactory.
 Sour Decision
 Not the same can be said of the decision in the Freddy Pease-Irish Mickey Donahue bout, which was also ruled a draw, though Pease was Q winner from here to Halifax. Ap- parently outweighed by about ten pounds, though they were an- nounced ct l4o each, Donahue put up Q sterling fight, but was cleanly knocked down in the second round and completely outpunched by the heavy. hitting Pease in the third round.
