boxer, sometimes known as the
mild Irish rose" said the other
day he had quit fighting. But now
word comes from San Francisco
that the mauling minstrel wants to
get back in the ring and that he
has signed Harry Brodie of San
Francisco as manager. However,
his fancee, Mrs. Delphine Dodge
Cromwell Baker Godde, insists that
he stick to his singing. Fighting,
she says, is too brutal. Mrs. Godde
is daughter of the late Horace E.
Dodge, automobile maker, and an
heiress of the Dodge fortune.

Pugilist! lore !he mase on
sixteen, he was in the Irish guards,
doubling in the enthusiastically
Celtic pastimes of singing and fight
ing.
He is six feet four and one-half
inches tall and weighs 217 pounds.
With his wavy black hair and still
unmarried features, he is rated as
the handsomest fighter in the bust
ness. He once smacked down ten
big bruisers all at once-but that
was in Hollywood, when he was try
ing out for the screen, two years
ago. He didn't screen well and
picked up his fighting again, dump
ing Buddy Baer neatly in one round.
In 1880, he was champion of the
Irish guards. Last April, he gave
Kingfsh Levinsky handsome H.
round drubbing. AS yet he hasn't
any very notorious scalps on his
belt, but he is still only twenty-four.
Judith Allen, film actress, divorced
him last April, and he awaits a final
decree before marrying Mrs. Godde,
whose divorce from Timothy Godde,
London and Paris textile exporter,
is also coming through. He has
been here two and one-half years
and writes home that he's having a
wonderful time.
This writer thought the articles
about the telepathy experiments at
Duke university were one of the
most interesting magazine serials of
recent years. DR.. J. B. Rhine, with
a large staff of assistants, made
what appeared to be the first sci
entific laboratory examination of
thought transference. They report
ed it a fact of everyday life. Their,
finding was that minds can COM
municate over long distances. Now
it is announced that DR.. Rhine's
book, "New Frontiers of the Mind"
will appear soon. 1t will cover the
Duke university experiments.
DR.. Rhine qualities as disinter-
ested observer, having vigorously
-. assailed fake &C.
claims Lire cultism in the
Exists Apart past. Mrs. Rhine
Fro-, Rody has been his CO.
worker and col
laborator in exploring the world be-
yond the senses. They both took
their Doctors degrees at the Uni
versity of Chicago, later pursuing
studies of abnormal psychology. In
1926 and 1927, they conducted in
Boston an examination of "Mar-
gery," the famous clairvoyant. They
reported that ''the whole game was
a base and brazen trickery, carried
out cleverly enough under the guise
of spirit manifestations"
Commenting recently on his work
at Duke university, DR.. Rhine said:
"Our results have bearing on
the general problem of the survival
of life after death. They show that
the mind has powers not dependent
upon the senses, an assumption that
is made under the theory that life
can exist apart from the body"
DR.. Rhine is head of the unique
parapsychological laboratory of
Duke university. His telepathy ex-
plorations included 100000 expert
ments in which he recorded thought
transference over distance of 1000
miles. He said their validity, as
against chance, was in the ratio of
100, 1000, 100000 to l.
