Curiously, in this day of alrmall'
radio, streamlined trains and 9O-mlle
an hour automobiles, the use of hon.
ing pigeons as messengers is lncreas-
ing More and more newspapers are
using the bird for carrying photo
graphs from ships and from various
scheduled news events to the publish
ing offices. The practice, started in
the United States, has been taken up
in England and Japan. Recently,
New York newspaper sent several
dozen pigeons to Germany, and plan

the Duke and Duchess of Windsor as
their ship sped across the Atlantic.
Homing pigeons were the carriers
in the first authorized regular mod

time in 1897.

St. Lucy's Bowling League Gossip
BY Pn.KUM

I'm writing this column tonight in order to convey in the mind ot H0nry Minicucci, that one must do something worthwhile in order to gain any kind of publicity in this column. AS Henry Minicucci likes very much to get publicity so as to show his charming little daughter what great hero her father, Henry Minicucci really is. But Henry l cannot mention your name yet, be- cause to my estimation you're not ripe for publicity. But, don't worry Henry Minicucci your day will come when you will see the name of Hen- " Minicucci plastered all over the Hall of Bowling Bugs"
 l can really see why you bowled a little better than usual last We'd nesday night, 1t was due to the fact, that Father Scoglio was standing right behind you with his fingers crossed, and still your bowling was nothing to write about.
 Henry Minicucci why do you prowl around the alleys like phan- tom? hope that you don't think that 1t will give you publicity! be- cause before you see the name of Henry Minicucci in my write up you really must do something outstand- ing, like bowling at least 90. So Henry don't feel hurt if your name doesn't appear in this colum. But l promise you Henry, that the first outstanding feat that you may per- form your name, Henry Minicucci shall receive my full consideration Good night Henry.

 Previously served with Q S10,OOO libel action brought by Commission Chairman John J. Phelan, Johnston readily accepted the summons in the Brown suit. Both actions resulted from the same Press Association story quoting Johnston as saying that Phelan and Brown "have an interest in the 20th Century Club" which is headed py Mike Jacobs, successor to Johnston as Garden promoter.
 T am not bothered one bit by the suits," Johnston said. "In fact I welcome them. I will be vindicated now that our difficulties can be brought before Q judge and jury inc stead of another star chamber ses. sion of the commission. The quick. CT they get to trial, the better I'll like It."
