the financial arrangements were to be
made entirely between the donor"
and purchaser. The only purpose OF
the bureau IS to bring them together,
he said. He added that the services
OF the bureau were available to any
surgeon who cared to use them.
II don't see why 4 wealthy man
with mkformed nose should not
be willing to pay some one who needs
the money as much AS few thousand
dollars for a cartilage" he said.
The present method Is to take the
cartilage, or the bit OF bone, from the
patients own body. The new service
is designed to spare wealthy patients
the inconvenience of 4 double opera

DR.. Stotter said the idea for the
"Grafting Donors Bureau came to
him As result Of the waste" of
cartilages taken from patients with
protruding ears - cartilages which
might just as we'll be used in building
up some one else's nose
A spokesman for the New York

the transplanstations contemplated by

New England Apple Growers,

BOSTON, August l9.-Farm labor
vas so scarce in at least one section
OF New England today that apple
growers OF rich orchard area feared
they would suffer heavy losses if pick
ers were not available for the Septem-
Der harvest Of bumper crop
Growers in Windham County, Vt.
along the rich Connecticut River VAL
ley, proposed to remedy conditions by
enlisting, If possible, the services OF
factory employees suggesting factories
close during the harvest. Some Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut orchard
lists, less seriously affected by the abor
shortage, indicated they hoped to OBJ
tain pickers by Offering higher wages
than usual
Urges Enlistment Plan.
W. H. DarroW, Putney, VT, grower,
said: 1T factories were to close for
two weeks, or use the time to take
inventories and permit their employees
to pick apples, Windham County's
valuable harvest would not be lost"
He said that crop Of 250000 BUSH
els in that county alone would run
10000 bushels above the average and
estimated the value at 100000
Raymond L. Clapp, manager Of the
Middlesex County (Mass) Farm Bu-
reau, said threatened scarcity OF
help might be overcome by Offering
increased wages.
The Works Progress Administration
and other Government agencies, he
added, had cut into the employe ranks
and some farmers would find diticulty
obtaining help.
Cities May Supply Labor.
DR.. Ralph Van Meter, head Of the
pomology department at Maxsachu-
setts State College, who estimated the
Massachusetts crop would be 10 per
cent ahead Of last years, was more
optimistic because Of large city popu-
lations in the S>ate to draw upon for
labor.
The Connecticut Agricultural De-
partment reported farmers faced some
shortage of labor, a condition that last
year was met by increasing wages
The department said the same plan
probably would be adopted this year.
Darrow said any man who works
With his hands would make a good
picker and earn wages ranging from
81 to So 4 day, depending on his

WHEN BUCK MET RUDY

WHEN BUCK MET RUDY
Browsing through the library
last night for some biographi-
cal information, I came across
S. George Ullman's story of
the fiStic encounter between
Frank (Buck O'Neill, the
Washington Times baseball ex-
pert, and the since departed
Rudolph Valentino. Oh, it was
a friendly bout, but real.
Buck O'Neill was the boxing
expert of the New York Journal
at the time. Rudolph Valentino
was burning up over. a Chicago
editorial labelled Pink Powder
Puffs," which he felt contained
uncalled for slurs on his man.
hood. He challenged the editor
to fight, but nothing came of
this, except reams Of publicity.

However Buck ONeill has
some doubts as to whether Rudy
could really swing the leather
mittenS. Maybe he saw q good
story in it. Anyway he called
on the star at the Ambassador
Hotel in New York and suggest
ed a sparring match. Rudy
aSsented, fixed the time for next
day on the hotel roof.
Buck weighed 1875 pounds in
his gym clothes and measured 6
feet inch. Rudy was 1877, and
5 feet II inches.
Motion picture cameras ground
as the gladiatorS answered the
bell. Here is Author Ullman's
account of the fight:
"At first they boxed very
lightly, until Buck curled a beau
tiful left to Rudy's chin, his first
intimation that the thing was
serious.
HOW DID 1T END?
with that, Rudy pulled him.
self together aad began to fight.
He aimed a short jab at Bucks
jaw, but O'Neill ducked and
caught it on the side of his head
and went down to the gravel Of
the roof. Instantly Rudy was
besides him, helping him up and
apologizing profuSely for letting
that one slip.
Buck was game. He lust
laughed it off and said that was
what he tried to do to Rudy, but
failed.
They went at it again for a
while, and Bucks tactics were
confined to what is known as
turtle-shell covering; he was
protecting himself and occasion
ally lashing out with either
hand.
II recall at one time that he
landed on Rudy'S nose, and I
can truthfully say that the blow
hurt me more than it did him,
fearing, as I did, that some
damage might be done to that
important screen asset"
Author Ullman is a poor re.
porter. He doesn't say who
won the fight and, like Col.
Heinie Miller, I am dying to
know. Joe Turner would also
like to know what the gate was,
and so would I. A fair assump-
ton is that the decision went to
publicity, for they had good
press agents in those days, July,
