occasion demands. This occasion
will demand only one thing-a
love Of fighting and a cast iron
jaw. The Tennessee boy loves 20

never retreated in his long and
honorable career so Wen see how
much of killer Mr.. Lee really is.
Meanwhile, the feud still RACES
over the disputed decision Tony
Dupre won over Pete Scalzo last
Monday night in the Washington
version of the Johnstown Flood.
DiSgruntled customers blamed the
boxing commission for the poor
decision, and many still-Sizzling
clients claimed they would never
attend another show until the
Scalzo-Dupre bout were re-fought.
The boxing commissioners are
disseminating the pros and cons
o. the bout and their most likely
action at next Mondays meeting
will be to suggest, rather than
order, rematch. Incidentally,
don't let anyone kid you that
Ahearn and Joe Turner won't put
on the show. A return bout be-
tween Scalzo and Dupre would,
in our opinion, draw at least
$4,000 and is the biggest natural
we've ever had here.

slight for a bout of such import
ance to both fighters. We mean
the edge should be more clearly
established and a man should be
at least or 10 per cent better
than his foe to earn the decision.
Another point in consideration
is the unusually large gloves used
in the District. They're eight
ounces and a puncher is fearfully
handicapped while the boxer is
given an advantage. We'd like
to go on record as advocating a
Six-ounce glove.
The rule for most commissions
is that the gloves shall not weigh
less than five ounces. The six
ounce mitten has been arbitrarily
adopted almost universally. We
realize the District Boxing Com
missions first concern is to pro-
tect the boys. We are cognizant
Of the fact that not one serious
injury has occurred here since the
legaliZation Of boxing. But looking
at this sport in a cold analysis,
boxing is business and the fans

Ben johnson, of Columbia, and

established a Swedish record for
the 400-meters, defeating Baum

Baumgarten bettered the previous
national record when he did the
distance in 48.6 which cut the time

CONSIDER GOLF
RULES CHANGES

The Women's District Golf AS
ISOLATION has been asked to con-
slider several radical changes in
the style Of team competition
among the various nearby clubs.
Most important is the require
ment to place a full team of 10
players in the field or be barred
in the second or third team
classes. The vote was unanimous
on this recommendation when
team captains were asked to regis
ter their reaction. The aSsocia-
ton, however, must approve be-
fore the recommendation becomes
effective.
It was recalled that last years
first team play was a two-club af-
fair, with Chevy Chase and Indian
Spring being the lone entrants.
There was nearly a full slate Of
second and third teams.

DISHWASHING BLUES

If a vote was to be taken as to
what is the worlds most unpopular
task, the choice might go to dish
washing. Let us hope that cOmpe-
titions in dishwashing, which are oc-
casionally featured in public events
will make this despised task more
popular.
The good dishwasher must learn
to avoid nicking and cracking dishes.
Many china manipulators seem to
have a gift for leaving their auto
graph on these pretty surfaces.
Sensitive folks may say the sight
of food remnants is sickening. Mod
ern dishes are so artistically orna-
mented, that it should be a pleasure
to see them regain their original col
ors, as they are cleaned and laid on
the closet shelves. Some will say
that the lady who cleans them in a
sunny kitchen. singing at her work
should have a happier spirit than
one who must speed up her hands
snd fingers and brain to equal the
exhausting pace of modern mechan-
Ical and business life.

THIS WORLD OF WORK

The impression prevails among
many people, that it is no longer
necessary to do much hard work
They have the feeling that the prizes
of life are won in other ways, by
luck, by personal pull. by some kind
of combination by which they get
privileges and rewards.
This country was not built up on
that principle. The blessings we en-
joy were created by generations Of
hard toilers. They rejOiced in the
rewards of their honest labor and
built happy homes. 1t is not neces-
sary for the present generation to
work as hard as the old pioneers,
thanks to modern invention and Or
ganization. But the people have to
put in good solid licks of work to
get anywhere. If they do not, they
not merely suffer personally. but the
home town suffers from their lack
of persistent industry.

LACK 0F PURLIc LIRRARIES

The United States depends upon
popular education to carry on its
daily work and manage public af-
fairs successfully. schools and IL
brsriss perform the work Of popu-
lar education. Every town has a
school. but there are 100000 peo-
pie who have no access to any pub
lie library in their home towns.
The education of the majority OF
these folks stopped when they left
school as far as books go. The
newspapers are doing wonders to
educate these people. but education
will not be complete until there is a
library and reading room in every
town. If such institutions could
exist everywhere, backward COM
munities would almost cease to ex-
list.

INDUSTRIAL HARMONY

How can we produce harmonious
relations between ourselves and
our employees" is a question which
many business managers are asking.
Some industries are constantly torn
up by strikes, which destroy pur=
chasing power and slow down the
country's industrial system.
A wage-earner once remarked: "If
we saw our own bosses one tenth as
much as we see the organizers and
agitators, we might not dislike the
capitalists so much" The boss who
can get his men together in room,
talk reasonably ana frankly to them.

chance to avoid strikes.

THE OLD HOME

A good many business people in
cities are buying up the old farms
and homes where they used to live.
The heart turns back to the pleasant
scenes of childhood. and they long to
spend vacation time in these pleas
ant old haunts, and perhaps end
their lives in these places.
There are many men and women
who have gone out from Milford and
surrounding towns. to live success
full lives in the world. Their old
friends around here wish they could
see more of these fine folks. These
people out in the big world could
find no finer use to make of their
money, than to buy up and improve
these nice old homes. to use them
as resting places, and to settle down
there when they finally give up ac-
tive occupations. They would find
an extremely warm welcome.

ACCURACY IN NEWSPAPER
WORK

''The newspapers always ge
things wrong" is a remark frequent
ly made, Perhaps the folks who say
that have just read so items in q
newspaper, and have discovered an
error in one of them. They overlook
the 40 that were right, and are anus
ed or disguested by the one that was
wrong.
Every error the newspaper makes
is spread before the public for ridi-
cule and censure. People usually
see it. and it forms a subject of pub
lie conversation. If some merchant
OF clerk with whom you are dealing
makes an error, no one knows about
it except he and you.
Newspaper people constantly ira
vel all over their home towns and
tramp weary miles to verify doubt
ful items and avoid errors. Little is
said about that
Newspaper work is done hurried
ly. Few newspapers have forces of
editors and reports so large that ev-
er yitem can be verified with the ut
most care. If reporter has a dozen
assignments to cover in an after
noon. he has to do some rushing
from one to the other. Perhaps he
did not take pains enough in some
place, but very likely he was worry
ing for fear that someone else he
needed to interview would leave his
shop or home before he could be
seen.
Many errors are caused by the
carelessness of people who give in
formation. They told the wrong
name, or accepted an unverifed ru-
NOR as fact, and passed it on to the
reporter. ...-.
The good newspaper mans ideals
is strict accuracy. and he makes
many sacrifices to attain it.: Young
folks who are beginning newspaper ,
work should strive for accuracy ,
above all else. They may have i'm
agination, humor, and literary skill,
but if they can't report plant facts
just as they are, the newspaper
world will cast them off. q
