Boys Club Had An
Exciting Time
Last Night

The members of the Elizabeth

time lat night playing games and
getting ready for the fine program

Louis Is Fau0rite Ouer BraddOck In T0nights Fight
Many Fans Swarm
Into Chicago To
Witness Battle

dered to ComiSkey Park to han
die the largest mixed crowd in
boxing history. Extra police also
were available since many of the
challenger's fights - especially
with Primo Camera and Make
Baer- resulted in demonstrations
over Chicago'S South Side black
belt"
Special requests for restrained
celebration" were sent to as much
CT the expected delegation of 35,-
900 Negroes as their own organi-
cations could reach.
A. for the fight itself, the Illi-
noiS Athletic Commission removed
virtually all chance Of another
long count and in addition ruled
the bout cannot end on a foul.
b Although the crowd may be al
most evenly divided between two
races backing their own fighter,
officials believed there would be
little trouble.
One danger Of serious reaction
if Braddock SnatcheS a decision at
the end of Is rounds was believed
removed by growing sentiment ON
the South Side that Louis would
have to score a knockout if he
hoped TO win the championship.
Max Schmeling demonstrated
the n-Skinned Bomber not
only could be defeated, but knock
ed out. Still, only one out Of every
five in the Negro district believed
Louis could lose to the champion.
None figured the challenger would
be stopped.
Orderly celebrations were plan
ned at two major victory balls
for Louis hackers. BraddocS sup
porterS were unorganized.
The traffic problem, always SER
lous at ComiSkey Park, was solved
by Clamping on parking reStric-
tions on streets throughout the
ball park area. Automobiles will
not be permitted to stop inside
that area except to discharge pas
sengers near the park entrance.

Key Conductor

An ordinary door key was the
first lightning conductor. Benjamin
Franklin was making experiments
to prove that there was difference
IN the latent electrical power at
different heights at all times, clear
or stormy. He flew kite made OF a
silk handkerchief, two sticks, and a
piece Of wire extending a foot above
the frame. One day a thunder
storm came up suddenly, and, the
whole kite and the wet twine be-
coming electrified, several little
shocks were felt by Franklin; He
hung a key near the base Of the
twine. notes a writer in London
Tit-Bits Magazine. and so obtained
a stream of sparks. At that mo-
ment the idea of metal rod to act
as a lightning conductor was born.

Jealousy Charged to Iodine

Jealousy, the dreaded passion, Is
due to too great quantity Of Iodine
In the human blood. This Is the
revelation Of three noted German
scientists, DR.. E. Wittkower, DR.. W.
Scheringer and E. Bay, after careful
medical experiments, carried out In
the Medical Clinic of the Charlie OF
Berlin. Fifteen persons were hyp-
Noticed and then brought under the
impression that their partners were
rnfaithful. This resulted In an ex-
traordinarily high increase Of the
quantity Of iodine in their blood.

CAMPAIGN TO CLOSE
WITH BIG MEETINGS
Record Vote Expected on
Monday; Polls Close
At 6 O'clock

Following intensive ACTIVITIES
covering a period of more than
two months, the Democratic
and Republican parties in Ha-
gerstown will bring their cam
paign to climax tonight with
mammoth rallies.
The Democrats will stage, a
big meeting at the Masonic
Temple, while the Republicans
will call their followers togeth-
err in the South Hagerstown
Fire Company building. Both
meetings are called for eight
o'clock.
Tomorrow night both parties
will hold roundup" meetings at
their respective headquarters.
City Chairman Richard Duffey
of the City Democratic Central
Committee will preside at the
meeting at the Masonic Temple,
while Kenneth Mclaughlin. Re-
publican city chairman will pre-
side at the meeting in the Fire
Hall.
Democratic speakers will be
Mr. Elgin, mayoralty candidate;
Former Attorney General William
Preston Lane, Attorney w. P.
Wachter, Attorney Richard Swee-
ney, and several of the candidates
for Council. The Republican
speakers will consist Of Attorney
Martin Ingrim, Attorney Ellis
worth Roulette, Attorney Charles
Wolf, Attorney Kenneth Nc
Laughlin, Mr. Harshman the may
orally candidate and candidates
for the city council.
Both parties are claiming VIC
tory. The City Democrats, prob
ably more thoroughly organized
this year than at any time during
the history of the party, have
been waging well-organized
campaign in every ward in Ha-
gerstown. Their workers have
been compiling lists OF voters Tor
many months and election day
will see an army of men and wo-
men bringing voters to the polls
in every section of town. Each
ward will maintain an "office
force" for checking purposes, and
no Democrat will be overlooked,
according to the Democratic lead
ers.
The Republicans, naturally on
the defensive are fighting hard to
maintain their hold on City Hall.
Election Day will also find these
workers out in full force. Each
ward has been organized for the
sole purpose Of getting out a rec
ord vote, and from 6 A. M. until
the close of the polls at P. NJ,
the Gins" will be battling their
opponents every inch Of the way.
The activities of both parties
will probably result in a record
vote being cast. The Democrats,
however, appear to have an edge
on the Republicans in that they
