FOUGHT MANY BOUTS

/ Gordon, on the other hand, was
a topnotcher, too, and the pair
waged many close and thrilling
scraps during those years, but
neither could land a title battle
1ohow.
And, now after IL years have
passed, they will be fighting" one
another again. but this time it
will not be with their dukes, but
with their experience and science

incidentally. Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn, then a heavy feather
weight engaged both battlers, but
never in the squared circle. They
had their little SettoS in the gym
nasium, and never met because
the D. C. ringmaSter carried too
much weight for both boxers.
Goldie and Gordon are great pals,
having roomed together for a num-
Der of years doing their leather
tossing days which took them on
4 tour of the larger, and more
often than not, the smaller cities
of the country.
HERMAN A STYLIST
Herman fought the best in his
class. whipping such luminaries
of the ring as Pepper" Martin,
Louis kid" Kaplan, later to be-
come the featherweight king; the
great Bobby Garcia, the Mexican;
Benny The French Flash" Val
ger, Fidel La Barba, another to
become a champion; Sid Terris,
Danny Kramer, and numerous
others of the topflight, but Kill
bane wanted no part of him, and
saw to it that the bout never ma
terialized. Herman finally hung
up his gloves in 1927 after 10
years of battling, and then became
a trainer of boxers for Lewis,
teaching Harry Thomas, who
fought both Joe Louis and Max
Schmeling, and Kodak. And today
he thinks he has the next feather
weight champion of the world,
and only Monday night along
about II o'clock will the real
answer be known.
BOXED FINNEGAN
Gordon, the Jewish Philadel-
phian, started his brilliant career
in the Navy, where he boxed
"Honeyboy" Finnegan. He stepped
out of the service and then met
such stars as Johnny Buff, Bud
Taylor. Little Jack Sharkey, Young
Montreal and Carl Tremaine, of
Detroit, besides Herman, just to
mention few. The bout with
Tremaine was the highlight on
the Johnny Dundee Eugene Criqui
championship card in the Polo
Grounds, and Gordon stole the
show with his sensational victory.
So now three old friends will
meet, two in opposite corners,
while the third, Ahearn, will be
neutral. The trio tipped the
scales between the 100 and 1870
pound mark then, but today Her
man weighs ITS; Gordon, 200, and
Ahearn, 200, which is quite a
jump, from 370 to close to 600
pounds.

Chintz and cretonne also make fine cur

and green in it would be- just the thing
for the green walls, the terra Gotta

Because we have such a beautiful
view from our windows we don't want to
shut it out by covering the windows "
compl etely with curtains or with both
curtains and drapes. Our windows
should have drapes hanging on both
sides, leaving the two center panes
free. ..
AS the ceilings in Greenbe1t houses
are not high, in order to make them
appear higher, we need low couches,
low chairs, low bookcases, re should
not buy massive furni ture because it
just doesn't suit Greenbelt house.
If we can't afford to buy expensive
Walnut or mahagony furniture, then we
shouldn't try to imi tate it by buying
veneered fancy furni ture, but try to
get something simple.
The way we arrange the furniture in
a room counts just a much as what
kind Of furni ture we have. The impor-
tant thing to remember is that there
must be balance in the room. We don't
want all our heavy pieces Of furniture

light pieces on the other side. Yet
we don't want symmetrical balance
carried out throughout the room. In
formal balance would be a happy med

much Of thrill as fixing up our own

Mr.. Wenzel said that $286, D0e had
been spent last year for NONRESIDENT

tourist business is the third largest
revenue producer in the states in
dustries. Mr.. 'Wenzel pointed out
the fact that the money coming from

we would not get if it were not for

The speaker said that the Depart
ment this year had attempted for the
first time to propagate muskellunge,
having reared 10000 to seven inches
in length. Mr.. Wenzel also touched
on the duck hunting and stated that
Minnesota duck hunters last year
purchased ID percent of all the duck
stamps sold in the United States.
Therefore those hunters are entitled
to the longer season which the Con-
servation Department was instru-
mental in getting for them.
In closing his remarks, Commits

that conservation will accomplish it.

Berlin reports that the field man.
oeuvers are just a matter of routine:
all other countries, Germany says,

Czecho-Slovakia is plainly nervous
about the German army movements,
and it may be that the German gov
eminent, after all, desires to intimi-
date the Czechs until they grant the
Sudeten groups certain concessions.
Should that be the case, it is most

Paul, or similar cooperatives, there
could have been returned to the
consumers in Ramsey county alone
more than 1881 900, which was a
sum almost sufficient to pay the en-
tire cost of operating the police and
fire departments in the city of ST.
Paul, or nearly one-half the cost of
operating the public schools in the
city of st. Paul.
Mr.. Selvig said that the present
monopoly investigation would reveal
that the insurance companies in the
country would have total assets in
excess of SOS, 900, O0O, 900, placing them
only second to the Federal govern
ment in spending power; that the
payment of insurance premium has
become almost equivalent to a tax
and in fact probably more people pay
tribute to insurance companies than
pay direct taxes; that while 40 mil
lion voters elect the officers who fix
the taxes and spend the money, only
about 1000 people elect the direc-
tors who control these huge insur-
ance funds; that in fact about IS per-
cent of these assets are controlled
by only 18 insurance companies, and
he believed it dangerous to democ-
racy to permit such large sums of
money to be controlled by so few
people and challenged his listeners
that the next job for cooperatives
to do would be to own and control
through their local cooperatives these
various insurance facilities.
Faith in CO-ops.
AS evidence that the cooperators
could do better job, Mr.. Selvig
cited the record of the Minnesota
township mutuals which in 1878,
when they first started, made saving
to their members in insurance premi-
ums as compared to premiums
charged by private companies, as of
$4,000. That in 1885 these savings
exceeded four million dollars That
during all of these years the saw
ings to the farmers of the state of
Minnesota on insurance premiums
exceeded more than hundred million
dollars. That in addition to these
things cooperators have led the way
in efficiency of operation and quality
production and cited the record of
Land O'Lakes, which in 1922 started
a quality improvement campaign OF
butter, and in which year only about
0f fhn ;oI,
received scored SO. Twelve years
later IS percent was SO score butter
and there has been constant i'm
provement since that time.
He further pointed out, while the
cooperative movement is neutral in
politics it cannot be Indifferent, as
evidenced by the oleomargarine bill
before the last legislature. Many OF
the legislators forgot that they were
representing the dairy interests and
voted with the oleomargarine inter-
ests. That the Senator from this
district, c. Elmer Johnson, not only
voted for the bill in the interests OF
| the dairy farmers but also actively
supported it.
