ADEQUATE EDUCATION

Many people have had the dis appointing experience of becam- ing interested in some activity only t9 find tha. n v are hamper ed or barred because they did not finish high school or made the mistake of studying the wrong thing. This happens too frequent ly, often because schools can not afford to offer work in which only few. or perhaps only a single individual are interested. Schools have to choose a middle course and not always happy one. Small communities find it difficult to meet requirements for college entrance and at the same time serva the immediate needs of the larger group who have other interests.
 To serve these nesds, the fed eral government, in cooperation with the University of Oklahoma devised plan which has been successfully carried on for the past two years.

all the circumstances, and since
the rain hardly favored either

Colonel Miller cited a long list
Of reasons why the contest should
be refought and added that there
was much agitation to have the
decision reversed since this was an
important fight for each boxer be-
cause of the National Boxing AS
sociation elimination series.
According to Pete Reilly,
Scalzo's manager, even Dupre
thought Scalzo had won. BE
fore the decision was an
nounced," Reilly said, "Dupre
came over to our corner and
said: Nice fight, Petey, you
won'."
Dupre denied this in his dress
ing room and said the cuts he suf-
fered over both eyes were in
flicted by butts and that Scalzo
had "apologized."
Reilly, incidentally, retracted
his original statement that he
would never allow one of his fight
ers to appear in a District ring
again.

that the public is behind me in
my contention that this was the
most atrociouS decision ever

bOuANAANAAA
1t was learned from a source
close to the N. B. A. that the al
most unanimous protest over the
decision would preclude the posi-
bility Of the bout having any
bearing on the featherweight
elimination series which is being
conducted in Washington. This
was further strengthened by the
announcement by Commissioner
Fred Buchholz that he would join
Commissioner Claude Owen ir
recommending a rematch.
ORDER REMATCH
Buchholz told the Times he was
Strongly in favor Of seeing the
situation cleared up" and that
"Scalzo and Dupre should be re.
matched as soon as possible In
fairness to both"
Major Ernest w. Brown could
not be reached for q statement,
having left the city on other bust.
ness. However, it is virtually GER
tain that the commission will or
der a rematch at next Mondays
meeting since Major Brown did
not attend last nights fights and
will, in all probability take the
recommendations of Buchholz and
Owen. The rematch angle was
first suggested by the Times after
the dissension following the de-
ciSion which, to our mind, was an
amazing exhibition of incompe-
tency at its height.
In an official memorandum sent
the Commissioners, Col. Harvey l..
Miller, secretary of the local ring
body, urged the recommendations
made for a rematch be adopted,
Colonel Miller said:
"The plan suggested by the
Washington Times at the ring
side last night, after a storm of
protest had greeted the official
verdict declaring Dupre the win
ner over Scalzo, is, in my
opinion, an excellent one. There
has been more criticism over
this decision than over any we
have had since the legalization

SCRIBEs FOR SCALZO
'Newspapermen at the ring
side were unanimous in their
opinions that the verdict should
have gone to Scalzo. Naturally,
declined to make individual
comment. However, speaking
from the viewpoint of a profes-
Sional observer and not as an af-
filiate of the boxing commission,
it might be well to note that
Dupre'S points occurred after

1ST.PINCH HITTER
IN LONG CAREER

For the first time in 16 brilliant
years of professional baseball, al
Simmons, one of the greatest
right-hand hitters of all time,
stepped down for a pinch-hitter
yesterday afternoon at Griffith
Stadium.
It was the ninth inning. Two
were out. Sammy West had
freshly singled to right. The score
was tied Sail, and Washington
was in dire need of a run.
Simmons was standing in the
batter's box, dusting his hands.
He had gone hitleSs in three Of
ficial times at bat. He walked an
other time. He was due, for the
records show Simmons to be the
most dangerous Nat Of them all,
especially in the pinch.
NEW EXPERIENCE
Anyhow, the Nat outfielder was
getting ready to take a few per-
functory swings when Umpire Bill
MCGOWAN called time. Bucky
Harris was motioning toward the
bench, and the plump form of
Taft Wright rolled out Of the
Washington dugout.
First of all, Simmons didn't
seem to understand. He just stood
there for a brief moment and
Something seemed to die within

FIRE PREVENTION is EASY

Fire loss in the United States is
disgracefully- high. But it would be
far higher were it not for the unend-
ing efforts of the stock fire insurance
industry. carried on through the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters. in
the interest of fire prevention and
control
Few of us realize what this work
means to all business. and to every
one with home, job, or an invest
ment. According to the National As
sociation of Credit Men, a saving Of
a duarter-billion dollars annually In
fire waste. means a gain of close to
a billion dollars for American busi-
ness. In other words. the indirect
cost of fire is much greater than the
direct cost. so that when we prevent
dollar of direct loss we save sew
eral dollars of indirect cost.
The efforts of the fire insurance
industry have thus saved untold bill
lions that otherwise would have been
destroyed. Yet this work cannot
produce it's maximum benefit without
public understanding and coopera-
tion. At the present time, direct fire
waste runs to several hundred mil
lions of dollars a year in this coun-
try-which means that total waste
approaches two billion. Reliable
estimates say that about 80 per cent
of fires are preventable. and are the
result of carelessness or ignorance.
individual or civic. -
Fire prevention requires little time
or money Periodic inspections Of
homes and places of business. check
ups on heating and lighting systems,
careful storage and disposal of in
damables and waste-it is little
things like these that prevent fires.
From the community standpoint, an
adequate, modern building code, but
tressed with good fire departments
and water facilities. are vital weap-
ons in the war against fire.
A great industry is working day
and night to protect you and yours
against fire. It asks, needs and de-
serves your help. !

RADIANT LIVING
Never Mind About JohnI
BY Rev. @. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
6udlersviile. Nd. ~

The disciples were still lingering
over that mOmentous breakfast
which the Risen Christ had prepared
for them on the shore of Galilee.
Peter was deeply pondering his call
to Apostleship when he heard the
Christ softly speaking to him, Fol
low Mel" a s.
Thinking that perhaps Jesus want
ed to say something to him private
ly, Peter arose in company with His
Master and began to walk away
with Him from the rest of the Dis
ciples.
They had gone but a short dis
tance when, turning around, Peter
saw John also following them. Hav-
ing just received a prophecy of the
suffering that awaited him. Peter
began to wonder what might be the
service and the suffering that lay
ahead for John. Turning to Jesus,
Peter began to inquire: Lord, what
shall this man dO?"
Like Peter. we. too. are often apt
to think that everybody must serve
the Christ as we are trying to serve
Him. We try to shapen every fol-
lower of the Christ into the same
mold in which we have been formed.
We forget the infinite diversity that
exists in humanity. We forget the
far different factors that have en-
tered into the lives and into the ex-
periences of others. We forget also
the varied services that must be
requiring the assistance
of those who are different from us.
The rebuke of the Christ was we'll
put: What is that to thee--follow
Me-"
The radiant Christian has discov-
cred two secrets of joyous service.
One is to stop judging those who
ire different from himself. The
,ther is to keep his own eye on the
Christ and on the Christ alone.
Therefore. never mind what John
nay be doing. Push straight along
he line divinely given you. .i

For life insurance is primarily de-
