KIoosber wrote, 1T is true that

GARDEN POOLS

Garden pools have always play
ed an important part in garden de-
sign. They are, of course, essen
tial parts of larger gardens, and it
is surprising how much even a
small pool will add to the tiniest
garden. One never tires of seeing
the reflection of the sky and of the
flowers. and perhaps the trees be-
yond mirrored in a quiet pool.
What one loses in reflection one
gains in animation if a fountain is
part of the pool design. The spar
kle of the sunshine, the falling
water, and the sound of gentle
splashing are sometimes more to
be desired than tranquil reflections.
There are so many types of
pools with different shapes, sizes,
depths, materials and edgings, that
it is impossible even to mention
them all in this article. So, natur-
ally, you will want to discuss its
possibilities with your landscape
architect.

Armstrong, Ambers To
Fight For One Title

NEW YORK Jump - There
will be no claim made by Lou AM
Der son the welterweight title, now
held by Henry Armstrong, in their
lightweight title fight at Yankee
Stadium, August %. This is the
decision that was made at a meet
ing of the State Athletic Commits
sion the other day when Ambers
and his manager, Al WE'LL, and
Armstrong and his handler, Eddie
Meade, together with Promoter
Mike Jacobs, signed two sets of
contracts covering the situation.
Managers of the two principals
in the coming lightweight title
bout signed one set of articles a.
greeting that only the lightweight
title would be at stake, and an
other set, stipulating that in the
event Ambers wins, he is to meet
Armstrong for the welterweight
title not later than November 1,
and to engage in no fights in the
meantime. This gives Ambers the
chance to gather two titles and
protects Armstrong; welterweight
crown.

Anti-Lynch Bill
Flares In Caucus

Washington, D. CA harmony
caucus of House Democrats July
% was interrupted with a brief,
sharp flare-up on the anti-lynch-
ing bill when Reps. Clark of North
Carolina and Rankin of Mississippi
interrupted a plea by Rep. Joseph
Gavagan of New York, sponsor of
the anti-luyching bill to a vote.
Gavagan's reply was lost in the
general hubub over the interrupt
ton. 1t will be remembered that
Rankin of Mississippi made one of
the worst race-hating speeches
ever heard in the House in April,
1887, defending lynching, only a
day after double blow-torch lyn-
ching of two colored men at Duck
Hill, Miss, by asking him why, if
he wanted party harmony, was he
pressing the bill.

Hopeless Cases.

DOCTOR, we want you to Sc
lect from a founding asylum a
boy and girl whom we can adopt.
We do not want attractive child
rem, who get opportunities for
adoption. We insist on having the
most hopeless cases! We will give
these children the benefit of liv-
ing in the country with healthful
surroundings.
This seemed the strangest COM
mission ever given medical man,
yet 1 recognized the integrity of
my visitors. They were Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Erskine Beall who,
having married late in life, real
lied it would be impossible for
them to have children yet believed
that they owed childhood a debt.
I selected boy and girl; each
was cross-eyed, bow-legged, ric-
kety, and had other congenital de-
formities. I feared that when
Lord and Lady Bountiful saw them
they would abandon their plan,
but was mistaken. They legally
adopted both children. Specialists
were called in; eyes were straigh-
tened, adenoids and tonsils re-
moved, and a harelip on one of
them made almost normal.
So pleased were the parents with
the results after two years I was
again invited to select two child
rem; and, later, still two more. /
have watched the growth of the
six children year by year, and the
changes wrought in them are be-
yond belief. The last time I met
the Bealls I asked if they would
soon be ready for two more babies.
Yes, soon now" was Mrs.
Bealps prompt reply, "but this
time we want two black ones"

SOUTH END NEWS
By GEoRGE WI. wood

Propaganda is bait used by Gle
yer, designing and ambitious sche-
mers that most of us grab and
swallow like game fish. For in
stance: Watch that person who has
the insight to start preaching that
he is with the poor working man;
that he is against capital and poll
tics. If he is successful in gaining
converts to back him and be guild
ed by his gospel, he then has pow
er. Now he becomes a politician
because he can guarantee the sup
port of his following. Money pours
into him from many sources, none
of which he refuses because he is
against capital. n
To prove this, watch the men
who organize and become heads of
a workers union; the men who
become heads of a fraternal or
ganization; the man who becomes
head of some large religious sect;
even the man who becomes head
of the WPA. They are all classed
as gold braid or big fish. Nature
has decreed the big fish shall live
on little fish. So that is all bunk
about being with the poor man.
Every politician says this in or
der to get elected and have a job.
Then he tries to go higher so
that he may become a big fish.
No one wants to be poor while on
this earth even though the rich
man did cry out to Lazarus to give
him a drop of water. Who wants
to be Lazarus?

He's never bother little LaVerne
