Whole City of Midgets
AT '39S. F. World Fair

SAN FRANCISCO A modern
Lilliputia is taking shape on Urea
sure Island. When the last under
sized nail is driven into the last
tiny house, a scene that would
make CULVER himself sit up and
rub his eyes will grace the Gayway
of San Francisco's 1889 Worlds
Fair of the West.
With midget mayor at a tiny
desk in miniature City Hall, the
village will be operated like any
normal city. The Lilliputians will
have doctor, dentist, two lawyers
and a score of dwarfed business
houses to cater to the whims of
millions of fairgoers. A diminutive
magistrate will administer hard,
fast justice to any of his bailiwick
who gets out of line, and zone
woman" telephone system will car
ry on the small gossip of the town.

impression that the property on
Main street had been sold.
Reverend Alexander, the newly
appointed minister, took the stand
but was not allowed to testify to
his alleged knowledge of the mat
ter, because the defense attorney
commended he had lived in Seattle
less than a month and whatever
knowledge he had in the matter
was bound to be hearsay. Judge
Knott agreed with him, so Rever-
end Alexandens testimony was
forced to deal only with events
transporting since his arrival in the
city.
Reverend tombstone took the
stand in his defense, and in a some
what weary and quiet voice related
his transactions in the handling of
the rentals from the church's Main
street property. He said that up
on his arrival in Seattle some IL
years ago, the district was a mis-
sionary field, and the membership
of the church could not pay a min
lister a salary. He related that out
of his own pocket he had endeav-
ored to build the present incom-
pleted church at 23rd and E. Olive
streets, and that the bishop had in
structed him to do the best he
could with his charge; that the
conference sent him $40 per month
to help him defray his expenses,
and that he could collect the rental
due the church and apply that to
his upkeep. At first he testified
the property brought $17.00 per
month and then he gradually re-
duced the rent until it now brings
in $1,000 per month. He also said
that after he was relieved from
the pastorate he ceased to collect
rents. Richard Consego said that
he was present at the home of
Mrs Pitter when the bishop gave
Reverend tombstone permission to
collect and use the rental monies
for his expenses.

Armstrong Beats
Garcia, Still Is
Welter Champ
BY jacques ChappeIIe

About the only thing that Henry
Armstrong couldn't lick would be
giant centipede and even this has
it's doubts. Hank continued to
steal limelight of prize fighters as
he annihilated Ceferino Garcia, to
retain his World Welterweight
Crown which he won from Barney
Ross, in one of the most grueling
fights Henry has had yet to con-
tend with.
For fifteen rounds Garcia and
Armstrong threw leather at each
other with the latter doing most
of the punching and forcing of the
fight. Only in the twelfth round
did the Filipino's celebrated "bolo'
punch seem to bother Armstrong
but as the round drew to an end,
Hurricane" Hank was again mas
ter.
Fighting his usual style of fight
Armstrong was forever crowding
Garcia, windmilling punches to the
head and body never giving the
Filipino time to get set for more
than two good blows. Landing a
low blow early in the fight, Arm
strong lost one of the few rounds
awarded to Garcia.
Still the fightingest piece of box
er, pound for pound and inch for
inch, the world has seen for many
years, Henry will defend either his
lightweight or welter title against
Lou Ambers in the latter part of
February or early in March.

demand just made upon the spur of the moment
during heated controversy with specific merchant
but the elimination of carefully worked out program
