NEW YORK (C)-An original
booster of Joe Louis from the time
he first came to Harlem to fight
Primo Camera, John D. Thomas,
owner of Gray Shop No. 2, 2465
Seventh avenue, is decorating his
place and calling it Chicago
Headquarters of Joe Louis Fans
for the sixth time, to welcome
Joe's friends from the West and
throughout the country to the
Louis-Schmeling fight on June %.
Mr.. Thomas recently celebrated
the eleventh anniversary of his
opening the Gray Shop, and receiv-
ed congratulations from many
friends and some customers who
have been regular patrons since
the opening of the business.
Mr.. Thomas will welcome Joe's
friends personally when they come
to Harlem, and they are invited to
receive mail in care of the shop,
and to make appointments for
meeting friends there.
This month Joe Louis, worlds
heavyweight champion boxer, is
scheduled to meet new test in
his return engagement with Max
Schmeling of Germany. This is
the one fight that is arousing in
ternational interest because of the
many emotional as well as profess
sional. factors involved.
Joe has been defeated by Schmel-
ing-a sensational defeat, just
when the opinion was all but una
nimous that Joe would win in a
walk. Since his defeat, however,
Joe has come back as spectacu-
larly as he went down-to gain the
heavyweight crown and to hold it
like real champion. But his lat
ter triumphs have been without
benefit of Schmeling. Now, with
the fistic crown perched firmly on
his head, Joe faces again the one
man who made him take the
count.

A Modern Fable

Once upon a time there was a
farmer who sold two chickens
and with the proceeds bought
two shirts. So the farmer had
two shirts and the city man had
two chickens.
Then along came the New
Deal and told the farmer he
should get more money for his
chickens by making tn e m
scarcer; he should not raise so
many, and then he would get
more income.
The New Deal also told the
workingman in the city that he
must work fewer hours and get
more money. That, Of course,

Your present contest to pick

Why not have a campaign to
get the dogs of this city muz-

posed to enforce this law, but
they are too busy getting over
time parkers.
The writer of this happens to
be a city letter carrier. I have
reported dogs to the police and
Post Office Department, but to
no avail. I wonder If your

to get dogs that run loose to

dog, but it seems to be the only
way out, if this fails.

AS an ardent follower of Judge
Puffle in your daily cartoon,
Room and Board" by Gene
Ahern, want to register a few
complaints.
How about giving the Judge
a break. If he wants to sail his
newly acquired yacht to London
to assist his attorneys to han
ding his uncle's estate, then
why don't Gene ease up on the
old fellow and have his "Pansy
Patch" grant him permission to
set sail over the ocean.
I believe his adventures on
such a trip, especially in that
boat of his which he intends to
move with sails, would be most
interesting.
Really the Judge is not half as
bad as a lot of your readers
think he is, for he certainly lives
the life most of us would enjoy
following. The fact that he
doesn't have sufficient pocket
money, I believe, is causing his
following to miss some real en-
tertainment.
Why not let this estate, which
his uncle in London has left
him, amount to something like
a million bucks, then just watch
the Judge.
