NOVA MAY GAIN MILLION DOLLAR
 GO WITH LEWIS
K. o. Over Farr Friday Will "Make" New California
 'White Hope"
BY HENRY SUPER
United Press Staff Correspondent


 New York, December IA. - (UP) = The million dollar baby" pro- motors have been seeking for three years - White Hope" capable of standing toe-to-toe with heavy weight champion, Joe Louis = may wauld out of Madison Square Gar den late Friday night.
 The occasion is a 15-round battle between Lou Nova, 8 young Can- fornia scrapper known as the Ala meda Adonis", and rugged Tommy Farr, the Welshman who went the full distance wit hLouis and two former champions. Jimmy Brad- dock and Max Baer.
 Nova is only 23-year-old; has had but 26 professional fights; hits like a mule with either hand and has a profile and physique that would do justice to a screen idol. But he is meeting his first big test, a man with many years experi- ence, fighter who, although he can't punch, can take it.
 Welshman Favored
 Punch Promenade said today that Nova will not fare so well and es- tablished Farr as an to 5 fav- orite. But there were a few takers who believed that by Il o'clock Fri day night 8 new heavyweight find would be saluted.
 Such astute boxing judges as Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney have maintained that Ray Carlen, man. ager of Nova, was a bit too nasty in matching his boy with e man like Farr. They contend that Nova is one of the finest young pros poets to come along in years but believe he needs more experience against second-raters before try- ing the big-time.
 Carlen, an old head in the game, said today: "I have staked every thinb on Nova and I believe he will come through. I'm afraid that this time Dempsey and Tunney are wrong"
 Good Record
 Nova, who is married to a Cali

fornia society girl, has won 24 fights since he turned professional. He drew with Bob Pastor and lost a questionable decision to "SlopSie Maxie" RoSenbloom. In his last as- signment he stopped Glnnar Bar lund, the rugged Finn.
 A knockout victory would boost Lou into the No. 1 challenger spot because he would have done what no other man has. It would give the heavyweight division . much needed shot in the arm and make . million dollar battle next summer inevitable.

appreciates these properties. she
prizes most of all the delightful

claims of medicinal and physical

For example; many soften the
water but irritate the skin while
they claim to give it the rosy
hue of health. Frequently re-
tailers market the excess prod

sells for less because it is not
widely advertised or elaborately

ton is available to the public

to isolate her choice by the trial

sure to pick good DOCTOR
This is very important
point because if you haven't
implicit faith and trust in the
physician, you won't do as he
tells you and, therefore, you
won't reap the benefits you
should from his advice.
Study List
Before Choosing
If you are a stranger in a
place and require a doctor to
give prenatal care to yourself
and your child, it shouldn't be
difficult to find such a man.
The local medical association
will be glad to give you a list
Of its members and their quail
fications. Better still, neighborS
will know the various medical
men, and they can tell you who
would be suited for your needs.
If you can, pick a doctor who
has a reputation in connection
with this speciality, and don't
pick one who has too much work
to do. If he is too busy, he may
not be able to devote the time
to you that he should.
Confidence bet cen the
mother and the doctor who has
her in his care is of utmost i'm
portance. Many times you will
find neighbors who, with the
best intentions in the world,
will try to have you go to their
doctor by casting suspicion on
yours. Once your confidence in
your physician is gone, more
than half the value Of his ad-
vice is gone, too.
No prospective mother read
ing this column can say, 1T all
sounds nice. but I can't afford
to go to a doctor for prenatal
advice"
All any woman who is with
out money has to do is go to a
clinic at any good hospital. Here
she will get the very best ad-
vice available; she will be
treated with as much kind con-
sideration and given the same
advice as though she had come
The Washington times., 1938-12-27

to that hospital in a chauffeur
driven limousine.
To these same women, I also
say that when your time has
come, when the baby is about
to be born, go back to that hos
pital with all the confidence in
the world, for hospitals give the
poor the same treatment they
do the rich. Many a prominent
obstetrician who attends the
wife of a millionaire in a pri-
vate room will have many pa
tients in the public maternity
wards, and give them the same
skilful attention.
Driving Car
Not Harmful
I am forever being asked by
women who are pregnant If it Is
all right for them to go driving
in motor cars. Yes, I think it is.
Modern cars are so efficient: so
much has been done to make
them Smooth-riding. Roads, too,
are usually good nowadays, so
I think a moderate amount Of
driving is permissible. How
ever, would advise that no
speeding be done, and that the
driver pick out comparatively
smooth road.
When the woman does go out
into public during pregnancy
she should take care to avoid
people who have colds or sore
throatS, for she is very liable to
catch cold during this trying
time.

Marriage
Copyright 1885, by King Features Syndicate, Ipc.)
"H Elkton, Nd, the country's Gret-
w ma Green, announced it's intention of
shutting down on it's lightning marriages,
there was weeping and wailing from the
clergymen whose front lawns bore yard-wide
signs stating that marriages could be per-
formed within.
The Reverend c. M. Cope, one Of the leaders
Of the marrying champions-he'd performed over
500 marriages in one months quoted as say.
ing: "This is an awful thing the voters have
done; the State is losing $25O,OO0 in revenue"
To Quote
Clergyman
Other clergymen who conduct marital mara
thons are equally aroused, but there isn't space
to quote them.
Elkton held the record for marrying in haste,
after the District Of Columbia put across its
72-hour marriage law last year. The trade rushed
to Elkton, where young persons sped in cars
to have the matrimonial knot tied before they
changed their minds.
The hurryup marriage business then turned
wistful eye on Alexandria, Virginia, as being
the nearest place which demanded no twoday
residential requirement. But Alexandria didn't
relish the new business. With pride, it tells you
there.
Martha Washington also bought there her
"taffety" and Sarcenet from which her full.
skirted evening dresses were fashioned, and this,
if you please after the White House was stu.
ated in Philadelphia. Why should Alexandria be
demeaned with elopements?

Why, these ladies asked, should the most aristo

tons helterskelter marriages? Just because
they did not think it necessary to require ladies
and gentlemen to take out 72-hour license be-
fore the ceremony is performed.
Cab DriOers
FAVOR Alexandra
Worse and more of it, the cabdrivers OF Wash
ington, D. c.. to the further rage Of the Colonial
Danes Of Alexandria, favored old Alexandra
rather than Arlington. The reason is sordid.
The cabfare to Alexandria is $1.40 while you
may rush to Arlington for only $110. Naturally
the cabbies are for Alexandria, where George
Washington's pew may be seen in Christ Churcn.
These ladies are somewhat appeaSed, however.

obligatory to wait three days before the marriage
