Trains on

And Beer

he trained on applejack, but now
says he has found beer is best.
In the little family gin mill and
spaghetti palace, down by the rail-
road tracks, he shadow boxes for
the customers and yells for match
with Louis. He says he would like
to have it barehanded in the cellar,
with $4,000 on the doorstep for the
man who comes out. They have a
two months old baby, who, says
his father, never will be fighter or
a barkeeper.

scented Mrs. Joan Sutherland in the
SANDER suit which grew out Of Cos

son divorce suit. It was he who
got humping big damages for
Princess Youssoupoff, in the suit
over the Metro-Goldwyn Rasputin
picture. He won the fight for the
Warner Brothers to keep Bette
Davis from appearing without their
consent.
/ In court, he has alluded to an cpl
sode when, hungry and footsore, he
was turning his back on London, but
was somehow tagged back again by
an indulgent fate. He was trained
as a mining engineer, fought in the
Boer war and returned to London
to precarious years in which he
spared for an opening. He was a
journalist, a ''leg man" around the
grubbiest of the police courts. In
his attic lodgings, he studied law
and was admitted to the bar-with
nice going thereafter. He now has
one of the largest professional in
comes in England. He was knight
ed in 1928 and was attorney general
in 1924.
He is widely and intimately known
in social and literary circles, but
draws no class lines in his profess
sional work. One of his most spec
tacular cases was his defense of
the Welsh miners in 1925. He moves
into his middle sixties with no let
down in mind or person.

C0gey 700 Underground,
Handed about whom
Sir Robert book may some
day be written. He
is Britain's go-between in delicate
negotiations with Generalissimo
Franco of Spain about the bombing
of British ships. When he is on a
government mission, it is an indica-
ton that some subtle business is on.
He had retired in 1886, but Ne
vile Chamberlain called him back
as diplomatic pinch-hitter in this
ship-bombing embarrassment. He is
the son of an arch-deacon, of some
what clerical mien, and was in the
consular and diplomatic service for
many years. From 1924 to 1927, he
was British charge d'affairs at
Moscow. He is usually working quiz
etly off-stage, never in the spotlight.
