JOHN HENRY LEWIS WINS
AS USUAL

When John Henry Lewis threw his
title in the ring last Monday night, he
evidently knew where he stood, as MIR
Martinez evidently discovered. The
fight in itself was a more or less rou-
tine affair, Mr.. Lewis taking but a
short time to dispose of his challenger
Ii Mr.. Lewis can show the class and
stamina after taking off eight pounds
in ten days, what can he do when he
is at his best weight, 182.
If we knew enough about fights and
fighters to broadcast much of an opin-
ion, we say that Minneapolis fight fans
had a good look at the future heavy
weight champion of the world, if the
dopesters know their stuff. If Joe
Louis retireS after his fight with Herr
Max Schmeling, (and he must surely
win), that will leave the belt to the
field of open competition. With the
weight that comes with maturity, John
Henry should put on few extra
pounds next year.
Being an ardent admirer of the
Pittsburg lad, we must restrain our
self, but we pop off with this: 1t would
look a great deal more hopeful for the
boys who would like to wear the
crown for more than limited time, ii
John Henry Lewis wouldn't keep cast
ing his eye toward the stouter division.
Red Bruce, whom Minneapolis has
taken as its own, will step into faster
company soon He is scheduled to
fight Adamick, the Michigan wonder,
in St Louis next month.
1t goes without saying that Mime
apolis will be pulling for what it con-
siders its home town boy, and no mat
ter how the scrap ends, Mr.. Adamick
will haye to fight,

Mess Line

We wonder what became Of the Po-
licewoman, everybody was so hot
about, a couple of years ago. When
the last election was in the otting, no
matter who won, some lady was due
to get that job.
We saw no matter who won, for ev-
eryone in town, who had little pres
tige, Just didn't belong unless they had
a candidate. In fact it was not neces-
sary to have any prestige, If you could
afford dog, people looked askance II
Won did not too have candidate, and
that candidate pledged 30 see that Min
neapo1is got a much needed police
woman.
The election came and went, the
smoke cleared away, and now we
doubt if a great many swanky people
remember who got elected. But any
way we didn't get our policewoman.
OF course we fully realize that one
lady successfully passed the civil ser
+, vice examination and now stands about
sixth on the list, and possibly will be
appointed when they get down to her
name, but that is to the credit OF the
lady and her ability, rather than the
mighty wielders of what it takes to get
places.
We have said all of that to say this.
a little bird told us that the boys who
went around acting as though they
were keeping candidate for pet, put
their MALAGA canes on their right arm
somewhere between the wrist and the
elbow and started for Fifth street anc
Fourth avenue. At Sixth and Fourth
avenue they ran into each other; in the
block to Fifth they started the usua
argument, and by the time they reach
ed the stone steps they had all forgot
ten what they had started after, ano
so, Minneapolis is still minus tha
much needed policewoman.

CLOSE HARLEM'S
DUNBAR BANK SEEN AS
BLOW AT F.D.R.

NEW YORK, April (CNA) = An !
nouncement by the Rockefeller inter
ests that the Dunbar National Bank,
established in 1923 by John d. Rocke-
feller, Jr., supposedly to provide bank
ing facilities for Harlem's small busi-
ness men, is to go into liquidation was
interpreted by well-informed circles
here as in the nature of another below
the-belt blow by Big Business against
the Roosevelt Administration and its
reform program.
The bank is known as Negro bank
because it has given employment to
many Negroes in the field of banking
Ii is located at l35th Street and 9TH
Avenue, with branch at l5Oth Street
and 9Th Avenue. Announcement that
tile bank is to be closed followed a few
months Rockefeller's withdrawal from
fis ownership of the Dunbar Apart
anents, recently sold following fore
}closure.
"The bank was never in the red" q

sound reason for its liquidation"
Indication that the decision to clos
the bank is aimed at evoking resent
ment against the Roosevelt Admins
tration is seen in resolution release'
by the banks directors to the press, il
which it is stated:
"In recent years the city, with tn
aid of the Federal Government devel
oped a low cost housing project O.

"Why didn't Rockefeller put tn
bank up for sale instead of liquida

Fortune Teller
Makes Mistake

Calling himself Prince Ukon, claim-
ing far off India awaited his return, his
welcome to be sung by thousand
dance girls, the tall beturbaned gentle
man with an enviable suntan COM
plexion, pleaded his cause before
justice of the Peace in Osseo, Henne-
pin County village.
1t seems as though the Prince, in
the course of his tour of America, was
giving fortunate citizens the benefit OF
his crystal ball, for small fee. We
do rot say that the crystal ball was
foul but the prince evidently misinter-
preted things he saw there as some
disgusted client called the town mar
shall.
The Prince courageously defended
himself and his ball, with the same
heroism that Gunga Dim might have
shown when his water skin was in
danger.
Had he not been so vehement per-
haps his turban would not have slip
ped its moorings, or whatever is sup
posed TO hold turbans in place. The
Prince discovered something. Some
one in Osseo knew all about poro, and
Ukon was held for investigation.
Reports from various small towns
(he seemed to pass up the larger ones)
showed he and his ball had been boun

Othello jailed
Desdemona Insane

Hart Stewart, a dapper, mustachioed
Harlem lover, found to his dismay this
week when-after swearing out war
rants for the four police officers whom
he claimed kidnapped his Park avenue
bride, Sylvia Lazarus, ailing daughter
OF wealthy New York insurance man
he found himself behind the bars.
The four police officers of Wood
lawn, cited in Stewards warrant, ap-
peared before Judge Oscar S. Caplan
in Municipal Court Monday, only to
have the judge say he was sorry he
had issued warrants for their arrest
and summarily dischage them
Bride Second Choice
The bride was only second choice
of her husband who was already mar
ried and had failed to get divorce,
it is charged.
When the accused policemen ap-
peared before Judge Caplan neither
the bride nor Stewart was present.
Miss Lazarus found it inconvenient to
be present-for she had just been de-
clared legally insane by Westchester,
N. Y. judge. The commitment order
was signed at the request of her father.
To Face First Wife
Stewart, likewise, was in predica-
ment quite beyond his power to solve.
He was on train bound for New
York accompanied by detectives, to
face his wife, Marlene Isabelle Houli-
han Stewart, whom he married May
%, 1887, it is said,
The evidence presented to Judge
Caplan was that Stewart married Miss
Lazarus April 10 and they came to
Chicago for their honeymoon. When
their whereabouts were learned, rela-
tives and two New York detectives
rushed here, got Policemen big Tim
and Little Tim" O'Connor, Emil Ded-
lax, and John Krikava, from the
| Woodlawn station and went to 635l
Rhodes avenue, where the couple were
staying.
Miss Lazarus was Immediately taken
back to New York. The next day the
] husband appeared before Judge Cap
Ian and asked warrants charging kid

A Slip Cover With Welt Seams.

IN THE sketch at the upper left
you see the pieces of daven-
port slipcover fitted with seam
lines pinned. The material is
wrong side out as the welt or cord
ed seams must be stitched from
the inside of the cover.
Before the seams around the
front of the arms are pinned as at
A the arm cover edge of the seam
must be gathered as at B.
The cable cord that is covered
with bias material and fitted into
the seams to make the welt may
be purchased at any notion coun-
ter. The material to cover it must
be cut on true bios and stitched
in place as shown here at c. The
cording foot attachment for your
machine must be used for this
stitching so the sewing will come
close to the cord. The next step is
to either haste or stitch the COW
cred cord to one edge of the right
side of the seam as shown here
at D. Then, using the cording
foot again, stitch the seam as
shown. Clip the seam edges
around curves so they will not
draw.
1t will be necessary to leave an
opening in the back to be fastened
with snaps. Openings must be
arranged on the underside of the
seam cushions as shown here at E.

Berlin may have her Inter Den
Linden, Rome her Corso and Paris
her Avenue de L'Opera, but this
little Ohio river-front town Of 10000
persons goes to the other extreme
and boasts what is probably the
smallest avenue in the world, writes
a Bellaire, Ohio, correspondent in
the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Federal avenue, a narrow thor
oughfare bordering on the north
side of the Bellaire postoffice, not
only is probably the shortest and
smallest street in the world but is
believed to be the only one on which
there is no vehicle traffic of any
kind.
The street has no traffic lights
and no space for parking-because
it is exactly 80 inches wide. Young
sters can play in this street all day
long without thought of approach
ing automobiles, BUSES or street
cars.
Two families live on Federal ave-
nue., Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Bos-
well at 1919 and Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
White, right next door, at 1920.

Little Ohio City Claims the Shortest,
Smallest Street in World; No Traffic

"It is an ideal place to live," Mrs.
Boswell said. although we live in
the heart of town the traffic prob
lem does not bother the tots who
play here. We have a lovely front
yard-yard Of the postoffice just
across the way-and don't have the
bother Of caring for it."
Federal avenue became a thor
oughfare and gained its name when
the new post Office building was
erected many years ago. Pedes-
TRANS use it frequently as a short
cut to the towns Main street.
It is paved with blocks of cement,
the type generally used for side
walk paving, and is approximately
so yards long.
1t is half block from the cross
section of town and only ten PAGES
from the tallest building, the eight
story First National Bank building.
Many residents have lived here
an entire lifetime and have never
heard of Federal avenue, although
it is probably the worlds smallest
thoroughfare.

spoken to by another man of the
Varsity, who had stopped near him:
"Maybe Merry will pan out, after
all. He sure can boot the old ball
hard and pretty, and he seems able
to place it on dime"
Bascomb grunted. Huh! Wait
till you see him try to make a
quick kick with charging line tear
ing through on him. That will be
something else again."
A short time before work was to
end for the day Kane called the
regular team together to make a
few rushes against the scrub. He
wanted, in particular, to oil up a
play that had gone sour against
Mayfield, for he still believed in it.
Not a little to his surprise. Frank
was sent in as right halfback for
the scrub. That was more than he
had expected, his first day on the
field.
Passing him before the lineup,
Hodge spoke from the side of his
mouth: "Well, they've promptly
buried you with the rest of us dead
ones, Merriwel. You'll never get
out of this graveyard"
In the backfield behind the varsity
line, Bascomb, who wasn't yet
aware of what was to be tried, said
to Springall: "Call play thatn
let me get at him Dick, and I'll
block the legs off Merriwell."
That was the kind of play
Springall called when they were

ready to 60. 1t was faxed right
end run with a spin and reverse
around the left end.
Tackle and guard opened the hole
that let Bascomb 60 through on the
Jump, and he sheered to the left
and cross-blocked Merry. who was
charging.
Franks churning knees struck
Bascomb's ribs split-second after
he realized what was going to hap
pen. Over Bascomb's body he spun,
hands outflung. His palms struck
the turf. Like tempered springs his
arms flung him upright on his feet
again to complete the impromptu
handspring.
He wasn't confused. In his stride
again, he leaped at the interferer,
who was coming round the end
ahead of the runner, and laid him
low.
The safety man, coming at full
speed, tackled the runner and
smeared the play for slight loss.
Everybody who had seen just
what had happened was laughing.
Bascomb wasn't. He was getting
up, his hand pressed to his side, his
face twisted with wrath and pain.
Because of malicious eagerness to
get at Merriwell and hurt him as
much as possible Bascomb had
made a cross-block worthy Of the
rankest amateur.
The coach had warned him about
stuff like that, more than once. Now,
as Bascomb rose to his feet again,
Kane came swiftly toward him.
"That'n be enough for you to-
day." said the coach. "I'm tired Of
telling you" Then he turned and
beckoned a substitute. "Come in
here, Davis"
Bascomb walked away slowly and
left the field, still holding his hand
to his side. Practice went on with
out him.
When it was all over Kane asked
the assistant coach: "What do you
think of MerriwelPs kicking?"
"Ee's NATURAL" answered Hans
comb.
"Then don't try to coach him.
Coaching hurts a fellow with nat
ural kicking ability more than it
helps"
sand he knows how to pass, as
well. He's got an arm and he's
rifle accurate"
sounds like something. That was
a stunt he did when Bascomb threw
that low block at him."
"Didn't see it! He's better walk
ing on his hands than some of the
would-bes."
Kane almost smiled. "That sounds
odd from an old pessimist like you.
Are you telling me he doesn't be-
long on the scrub?"
