WELL, as recall, my habit was to
Nv sail in and start slugging at what
ever spot saw as an opening. Brad
dock. think, has a good left jab and
o terrific right cross. Willard had a
good left, and III always remember
Luis Firpo's right.
Perhaps the weaving style I used
IN the old days would get me by with
Braddock. Well waive false modesty
and all that sort Of thing. I think
. good, strong, aggressive hitter would
get Braddock before he got chance
to get going.
He's a sort of a cautious fighter,
who doesn't do his best until he's been
badly stung. But If you had fellow
who could hurt him badly enough in
the beginning. think he could be
taken Just as Willard and Firpo were.
Going back still further, perhaps
Braddock would make me remember,
painfully, one Of my fights with Gun
boat Smith. The Gunner, you may
recall, bounced me around consider
ably before got through with him.
I didn't know whether was coming
or going after he conked me with
that right Of his.

A Way to Make Trouble

 Current dispatches indicate that the powerful Beaverbrook newspapers have launched vigorous attack the Church of England for its part in boy cottng the wedding of the Duke of Windsor Tn itself this is little more than irritant in already pleasant situation But it illustrates very well the drawbacks of punitive tactics when they applied against popular figure.
 By going out of his way to embarrass the former Edward VIII and deliberately spelling his plans the great chain of newspapers to espouse the cause of Windsor. He may have led great multitude of Englishmen to feel greater sympathy for the man which the Church and the cabinet together forced ablicaton and exile.
 There seems no basis for believing that the Duke of Windsor harbored any ambitions pointing toward England, or for supposing that political movement in England would grow up around him. But if the former monarch is persecuted enough such move ment will surely be created.
 A sovereign in exile is always potential threat to the stability of government Even though he asks only freedom he may at any time become the rallying point for disaffected group There in England numerous men in high place who have their grudges against the Baldwin Chamberlain clique who the government.
 They sided with Edward VIII when his reign was threatened, they champoned his lesser rights as an eXed Prince. They might like to use him as the spearhead of political movement future But this becomes serious question only if popular feeling is aroused in sympathy with Windsor The Archbishop has taken the surest road to the creation of that tpopuar sympathy

 In the silk and rayon industry in 1884, after the codes had sent wages up, little less than half of the employees received under 40 cents an hour.

HOURS AND WAGES AGAIN

Centering a majority of interest in Congress at the present time is the bill presented by Senator Black and Representative Connery at the recommerl- dation of the President aimed to regulate hours and wages along the lines of the old NRA Major feature of the measure is to fix the maximum working week at 40 hours and the minimum wage at 40 cents an hour, which amounts to $l6 per week. It isn't very much money, and those who in close touch with working conditions the major industries declare it will effect only relatively few.
 Yet the Bureau of Labor Statistics in recent figures estimated industrial workers at 8500000 of which the greater part receiving more than 40 cents an hour. It shows that in twenty industries in July, 1886 the entrance wages for common labor showed 46 percent of the workers getting less than 425 cents hour 19 percent getting less than 375 cents an hour In the iron and steel industry 36 percent of the workers getting less than 40 cents an hour in 933 but by 1885 all but 23 percent had

 This is an uncertain day in plan etary direction, according to as- trology. Unrest among workers is greatly fomented. Secret propa- ganda may affect many women. The stars may encourage plot ting and undercover activities on lthe part of agents unfriendly to union principles.
 While many new trades will be thoroughly unionized before the end lof the summer, strikes will be less numerous.
 Anxiety on the part of employ Iers is forecast, for the government will rely upon many industrialists to produce needed machinery for the extension of national defense.
 There is a sign read as most promising to all constructive activi- ties. Builders will be overwhelmed with contracts and shortage of ma terial may be widespread
 Girls should avoid initiative in new friendships under this configura- tion which is hostile to romance Young men may be cruelty critical. for egotism will be accentuated at this time.
 Peace movements now will multi ply and women will enlist in cru sades to prevent the United States entering into compacts with for elgn nations.

And now Californans point proudly to the structure, mere highway the Golden Gate but as a link which connects the Redwood Empire highways with Ian all-Pacific system which may some day extend from Alaska to South America
 Technical methods of drawing wire, spinning cables and sinking foundations for piers tall as Iskyscrapers had far advanced by 1919, the year when Engineer Joseph B Strauss submitted his first plans that the Golden Gate Bridge might well have been ten years ago. Yet there be no doubt that it all the better for the delay. The influence of the George Washington Bridge is manifest.

 It would be wrong to say that the Golden Gate is better suspension bridge than the George Washington But it is certainly bigger The central span of 4200 feet is TOO feet longer than that of the George Wash ington. From two graceful cables tthere four in the George Washington Bridge) hangs 60-foot road way flanked by 11foot sidewalks. There is a lesson in those cables-so delicate to the eye so strong in reality Tn each 27572 wires less than two-enths of inch in diameter.
