SCHMELING
POSITIVE HE
CAN WHIP JOE

BERLIN (ANP) Max Schmeling
is absolutely positive he can whip
Champion Joe Louis and thereby be-
come the fist heavyweight in history
to regain the title when they fight
in New York next month.
The German, who was exceedingly
impressive when he knocked out Steve
Dudas last month in the last of his
tune-up bouts, said:
Il believe | can lick Joe Louis
again and there are two reasons why
/ think so.
"In the first place, I'm in the best
form of my life. I'm in much bet
ter form than / was when | beat
him the first time.
"That time / had only one fight
in year. This time I've had a
couple of tough ones. I'm full of
pep and ginger.
I'm the second place, you mustn't
forget how it's going to feel to me
to climb through the ropes and meet
a guy I've beaten before. That sort
of thing gives you confidence. Don't
forget that when | beat him before
Joe was regarded as unbeatable and
/ was just the sure next victim.
That's something you've got to take
into consideration.

BUCKEYE BREWING COMPANY i.
EMPLOYS NEGRO SALESMAN i

DAYTON-The business and pro-
fessional men Of Dayton have been
pleased to have among them during
the week Mr.. Larry Reynolds Of
Toledo, Ohio, a representative of
the Buckeye Brewing company. Mr..
Reynolds is a full fedged salesman
and is quite successful. He is very
enthusiastic when talking Of the
good qualities of Buckeye beer, and
praises in the highest terms Mr.. III.
w. Lancashire, general manager Of
the company, who not only placed
members of our group on the sales
force, but is the only brewing COM
pany in Ohio that gives Negroes
employment through the plant.
The Buckeye Brewing company is
well pleased with the fine work be-
ing done by Mr.. Reynolds as is at
tested by the following excerp from
letter sent out by the manager:
When the Buckeye Brewing COM
pany decided to look over the col
ored population for sales ability, it
was confident that the colored peo-
pie had as much to offer to the
business world as any. Perhaps i

was stroke of good fortunt---as al
people can't be gifted with pleas
ing personality and business instinct
but in locating Larry Reynolds,
these requisites were uncovered.
Mr.. Reynolds has been calling TO
the attention of his many friends in
Toledo and other Ohio towns the
many qualities found in Buckeye
Beer. 1t is source of great pleasure
to him to lay emphasis on the fact
that Buckeye is brewed the Old
World way; that the beer is rice
beer and also includes imported
Saazer hops; that it is months in
brew before served to the Gus
toner.
He has done his job so we'll, the
Buckeye Brewing company has
started him on good will tour Of
the state Of Ohio, and when he fin
ishes the Ohio territory he will go
into Southern Michigan.
He requests that any of his peo-
pie who would like to talk about
beer as it was brewed before prohi
bition and since, they drop him a
line at the brewery and he will call
on them as soon as possible.

HENRY STARTS
TRAINING FOR
ROSS FIGHT;
WEIGHS l39

NEW YORK (ANP) - Homicide
Henry Armstrong arrived here Tues
day to start training for his welter-
weight title fight with Barney Ross
on May 26, and carried total Of
142 pounds, six more than he plans
to have when he enters the Madison
Square Garden bowl. Barney is ex-
pected to scale around 142.
Armstrong does not believe this
extra weight will hurt him. It'll
probably make me faster, he said
4 No drying out or anything like that
to weaken me. I'll be stronger than
ever and hitting harder than ever. ;"
The featherweight titlist said he
sfelt fine" and declared "the rest
was just what / needed. My hands
are in fine shape again. I'm eager
TO get back into the ring. And I've
put pm enough poundage so that
Ross won't have much of weight

Asked whether he felt his new
poundagc would prevent his fighting
again in defense of his featherweight
crown, Armstrong answered, Later

be particularly interesting. 1t appears
that when she became interested in
the art Of stenciling she travelled
through New England and some other
States in search OF stenoiled interiors
and furniture to correspond with the
wall decorations. She says stenciling
as a means Of relieving the somber
blankness of the walls Of the early Colo
nial houses was much in demand be-
fore wallpaper came into general use.
1t appears that wallpaper had been
invented in France first in squares and
later in rolls, and at an early date was
used in England-some early examples
of 17th and 18th century wallpaper
were bodily lifted from the walls OF old
mansions in England and transferred
to restored houses in Williamsburg, Va
We learn. however, from Miss 'Waring
that wallpaper was an expensive lux
ury until in 1739-almost 200 years
ago Plunkett Fqeeson began its manu-
facture in Philadelphia. where 1t was
put on sale in his quaint shoppe along
with the supplies of a general mer-
chandise store. It could be afforded
only by the well-to-do, SO itinerant
craftsmen travelled through the New
England country with packs on their
backs in which were contained brushes,
dry colors and light stencils cut In

amount Of cash they would decorate

the best compromise between wear
and appearance. Mesh stockings
have the advantage of not wrinkling
as badly as the plain knit. OF the
plain knits, CD at rs cents is good
value for the money. Of the mesh
stockings, Aimcee at 81 gave espe-
cially good wear. Medium weight
isles should wear longer but are
less attractive. The very fine chif-
fon isles which sell from 81 to SIPS
have good appearance but are very
fragile and will not give satisfactory
wear. All rayon stockings wrinkle
badly. The cheap ones wear very
poorly. Better stockings made of
Bemberg rayon are available but
will wear well only if they have
cotton achievements in the feet.
Rayon feet give very poor wear.

COd-Liver Oil
Cod-lver oil from Newfoundland
is apt to be of better quality than
brands. In the import
ed brands, the taste is sometimes
less agreeable because of partial
spoilage of the tissue, whereas the
Newfoundland oil ordinarily is ex-
tracted at nearby plants while the
fish livers are still fresh. The
strength of the Newfoundland
brands is also likely to be greater,
for Norwegian fishermen sometimes
mix the livers of other kinds of fish
with those of the cod.
