Enough, in the opinion of any jury of your peers, to ex- cuse you from any responsibility As for your victim and the vic- tim's relicts, if they don't like American justice they can go back where there ancestors came from This is a free country.

Style Chats
BY AUDREY AMES (Ul;ited Press Staff Correspondent)

Paris - (U.PD - For Master and Mistress Baby, The Grande Maison Blanc sets the style with tiny quilted rose colored pyjama suits and coats and dresses in the same color with half length capes. Tucks and yokes are in demand.
 For the younger set of from 2 to 5, the colors, alone or combined, of yellow or beige and brown in several shades are the fashion for springf. Peter Pan collars and breast pockets and few swing skirts are done in brown piping on yellow.
 For children from to 10, light Irish blue and navy combined often with designs of simple plaid in pas tel colors provides new specialties in "kiddy clothes"
 One dress particularly pretty is composed of tiny bodice in scotch plaid of blocks traced in fine pastel colors on a background of light blue, with the skirt pleated onto a belt of navy.
 Crocheted or knitted suits in brown touched with orange or yell low is popula rand practical for day wear and playabout.
 Gifts for babies are of tiny sets of toilet articles in blue or pink satin boxes and a new idea about Baby's eggcup done in silver with accessor- ies is favored for presents this year.
 A pretty dress for Miss Ten-Year- Old is in that new cloth made of Neotex, washable without fear Of shrinking and crushable without wrinkles. Yellow in color, the dress is pleated down the front and the sleeves with the pleats kept in place by stitches at the waist and at the cuffs of the short sleeves.
 Although there are not many two piece frocks, few very short boleros and one two-piece with skirt and waist fastening with g 1r2er are shown.

baskets of bunnies and eggs and openly admired their small bene- factors. But something in the whole picture struck a discordant note with me, in spite of the fact that these children had worked hard on the baskets.
 Behind the kindness lay self interest and no small amount of glory for my small friends.
 This, perhaps, illustrates the difference between service that sav- ors of sacrifice and service that re- fleets to the donors credit. One is an ingredient of character. The other is not so noble.
 Service Often Egotism
 The boy or girl who comes in from school and finds mother tired, who quietly gives up some personal pleasure to look after the baby, gets my "bravo" far more sincerely than the child who Is sure of applause for his act
 Too often an urge to help is bol- stered by emotion. We help those whom we pity, whom we love or are interested in. True character jumps to service without egotism to prompt 1t.
 Whenever possible. have Jack or Kay go out of their way to do quiet favors for others. Tell them not to expect thanks. Not to fret over slow appreciation. Sometimes this is the case, you know. The whole idea is to enrich the character of the chil- dren themselves. It will prove a god- send to them one day, in mental grace.
 True happiness comes of quiet ness of soul, the spirit of service and helpfulness. If this sounds like ser mon, it is.

latter. If you're a form player, you must pick Barney. He's not too old to be at his peak, he has fought the best over span of six years and in fighting (and whipping) the best he has proved he is game to the core. You can't say as much for Armstrong. Even Henry wouldn't boast about some of his conquests because many of his victims were strictly home town talent with hand-sewn trunks. What you like Armstrong for is not the quality of his victims, but the manner in which he laid them out. In fair ness, he has done everything asked of him.
 Whether he can deliver against a Rosa man not one cut, but ten cuts, above anything he has ever met is something else again. It's quite a bit different, this being ferocious and deadly against Willie K. Round heels and being F. and D. against champion with class.
 Plan told me that his only worry now was to keep Ross from going stale; that Barney was razor keen at the present moment and in dan ger of sloughing off before ring time. This sounds strictly like the malarkey to me. If manager with IS years experience, and a fighter with nearly half that much, haven t learned by this time to come into the ring in shape-well, they both deserve whacks on the chins. And let no one tell you that Armstrong can't whack you on the chin-and make you not like 1t.

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent)

New York, May 18.-lUP)-"You would think" Sam Plan said as the smoke from a cigar befitting the manager of champion swirled about his head, "that my boy was bigger than a horse and that he was going to fight 8 half-starved midget"
 For fear the above paragraph has bit of the James Joyce in it and doesn't make full sense to you, let me hasten to explain that Sam Plan is manager of Barney Ross, who is about to fight Henry Armstrong for the welterweight championship of the world. And that what Sam Plan is trying to say is that the six pound weight advantage Ross will have in the fight isn't important as all of us have thought.
 "I'll swear" Plan said, T never have seen as much to do about six pounds difference in the weight of two men. You would think, from reading the papers and looking at the drawings on the sport pages, that Barney was as big as the side of building and that he was go- ing to defend his title against a baby too small to get out of his crib. Lissen, the time Barney won the title from McLarnin- he gave away as much in weight as Arm strong will. McLarnin weighed 146 and Barney weighed 140, but I don't remember anybody getting excited about how little my boy was. After all, what does six pounds mean?"
 Never one to shirk problem, Plan had no more than asked me what six pounds were than I sat down and started figuring out an answer. was busy multiplying ounces by sixteen and dividing quarts by gills, when he interrupted.
 'The six pounds Barney will have on Armstrong won't mean thing. Lissen, that Henry's shoulders are just as big as Barney's, and so are his arms and neck and chest Barney will carry those six pounds oCdCICl GU dDOuU llLo WdloU dllQ lCBS and you don't punch with your waist and legs. I saw cartoon in yester- days paper that made me laugh. II showed towering, Camera like Ross, looking down with a pityine smile on dwarf of an Armstrong You would think, honestly, that Barney was six feet six and Henry was too feet one"
 You will have to admit that Plan has something on his side of the argument. Fighters are just human beings like the rest of us and cer- tainly none of us feel dWarfed wher person weighing six pounds more enters the room. I've got six times six pounds scattered aimlessly about my mortal fuselage and I am sure I could lose much of it without suf- fering any loss of strength or vital ity.
 AS the time hears for the fight the odds on Ross are shortening. This is due to the superb manner in which he has trained at Ferndalt and bit of sober reflection on the part of the public, particularly the
