Armstrong Pays
Tributeto Day,
K. 0. Victim
Champion to Fight in
England Despite
Broken Finger
BY DREW MIDDLETON,

NEW YORK, April 1.-Battered
and war-torn but still all-conquer-
ing, Henry Armstrong turned from
the glutted domestic market and cast
his eyes at England, where May %
he will display the talents that have
snuffed out As straight opponents,
the last courageous Davey Day of
Chicago.
Armstrong, bloody. spent, the
index finger of his left hand broken,
left Day, badly beaten, in Madison
Square Garden ring last night. They
helped the little Negro from the ring,
but he still wore the world welter-
weight crown.
He had right to wear it proudly.
For after II rounds, in which he
had taken command, lost it. hurt
both hands and seen his early lead
slip away. he gathered himself and
danced out to stop Day with short
right hook. Henry weighed l35, Day
a pound more.
Day Is Bewildered.
The punch dropped Day, by this
time bewildered by the dancing doll
who never stops, to the canvas.
Referee Billy Cavanaugh started to
count, checked himself and, as Day
staggered wearily to his feet, threw
, an arm about the gallant Chica-
goan's shoulder and walked him to
his corner.
The technical knockout, which
came at 2:49 of the 18th, ended one
of Armstrong; toughest fights. He
had punched Day around the ring
in the first four rounds, taking little
in return when Davey suddenly
started to go. The crowd of 10,028
that paid $4,000 went wild.
Day shook off Henry with jarring
short uppercuts. He stabbed away
with left that opened deep cash
on the lid of Armstrong; left eye.
And when Henry brought up those
short left and right hooks that have
made him first featherweight, then
lightweight and welterweight cham
pion. Day met him punch for punch
and stood his ground.
Injuries Both Hands.
II hurt both hands in the fifth"
said Armstrong later. Il would have
finished him sooner if I hadn't. But
can't take away anything from
him. Ambers was tougher. but this
boy is good, awfully good. A sharp
hitter and he must have a heart
as big as his head"
DR.. Vincent Nardiello x-rayed
Henry's hands and found he had
broken the index finger of his left
hand, badly bruised his right. I'VE
will put it in cast for three weeks" :"
said the doctor. HE will be in
shape to fight Ernie Roderick in
London on the 22d."
1t was Days fight until the ninth.
Then Henry. who had changed his
style in the seventh by staying out
OF range and pecking at Days badly
swollen right eye, took charge again.
He shot away at the eye with his
right. circled out of Days vision
and whacked him in the body with
both hands. Day, who had taken
the same punch earlier, couldn't
stand it now. He had hit Arm
strong with everything he had and
Henry was still going.
BY the 18th he was through.
Armstrong followed him around the
ring slamming him with both hands,
his mouth open and grinning
Finally he caught Day with a hook
and Davey had had enough.
You're next, Mr.. Roderick.

movie-script rainmaker. a shy little
old lady named Miss Lille Shoate
of Oxford, Miss, has walked hap
PLY into the lives of Floridians and
brought with her such a mist as
this land hasn't seen in long time.
But Rainmaker Shoate. who Weaves
her magic by sitting on the edge of
lake and hoping for rain, is doing
the Washington ball clubs pitching
staff no favors.
For the second time in five days,
the 62-year-old Mississippian has

Earlier in the week the Griffmen

to play the Kansas City Blues.
Yesterday they journeyed to Lake

savage rain the citrus belt has en-
joyed in some time.
Manager Bucky Harris, carefully
counting the days before the Mats
move into another pennant race,
finds that his pitching plans are
disrupted as result. Alexandra
Carrasquel, the broad-shouldered
Venezuelan, hasn't worked in
game since March 18. Arnold An
derson hasn't pitched since March
19. Joe Krakauskas was to have
worked yesterday. He needs it. But
if it rains today Krakky will have
to wait until next week, for tomor-
row is Latin-American day in
Tampa and, in honor of the occa-
sion, Harris has promised to pitch
Roberto Ortiz, Carrasquel and Rene
Monteagudo against the Cincinnati
Reds.
Outfield Needs More Play.
The Mats still have a flock of
exhibition games left but they are
unguaranteed at this time of the
year due to the weather. AS long
as the club is in Florida there will
be better-than-even chance of
getting most of the games played
but once camp is broken and the
northern jaunt begins. the odds and
weather are against them.
This is not at all to the liking
of Harris. There is too much to be
learned by the Mats. The outfeld
of Bobby Estalella, George Case
and Taft Wright has not played
together except for a couple of
innings. They are not smooth,
self assured trio. On the contrary,
they are uncertain, clumsy and un-
polished.
The infield is all set, even with
Cecil Travis still out of the game,
but Jimmy Wasdell needs all the
play he can get before the bell
rings. Jimmy isn't squared away
yet at bat. His confidence could

MAYBE WE NEED
A FEW QUILTING BEES

Elsa Maxwell, famous party giver and
social arbiter, must be very unpopular
with many Of her woman acquaintance.
Any woman who says she rarely goes to
other peoples parties, declaring she'd
rather be condemned to DEATH is bound
to be unpopular in some quarters.
Yet Elsa Maxwell's reasons. embodied
in her philosophy Of life, might do US
all a lot of good if we would apply
them in our own lives.
One Judges from Miss MaXwell's state
ments that the average party leaves her
feeling like she's been to a memorial
srvce in honor Of some beloved friend
now dead. THE world is being gypped
out of laughter she declares.
Perhaps Miss Maxwell is right Some
of us have grown so afraid of a great,
deep belly laugh that it would take a
steam hammer to crack cur dignity.
We've abandoned old quilting bees be-
cause they're provincial, and we've stop
ped playing Drop the Handkerchief be-
cause it isn't sophisticated. We're so
deeply entrenched in cynicism that an
aerial bombardment couldn't break us
loose
One of these days we're going to be-
come such chronic groucheS that we can't
laugh at Donald Duck in a moving pic
ture theater, and when that day comes
it will be toss up who's in worse shape
us or Walt Disney. Disney will lose
his meal ticket. Well lose our ability to
laugh And life won't be fun for any
body.
The man who can laugh and mean it
has a head start on life. His net earn
ings measured in personal happiness are
so far ahead of the money profits an
other might amass that there's no more
comparison than there is between Caruso
and Paul Whiteman.
We've never yet seen a man who knows
how to laugh commit suicide. Yet big
lot of US are daily committing sort of
mental hari-kari by stifling our laugh
ter for fear it will break the woeful
calm Of our cynical lives.
An apple has its uses, but we're inclin
ed to believe the slogan coiners would
have been nearer the truth if they had
said:

THE BEST WAY TO CUT
RELIEF EXPENDITURES

1t took a house committee to suggest
the proper way to reduce relief eXpendi-
lures without hardship to deserving fam
lies for whom the alternatives are relief
and starvation.
In best congressional language the sug-
gestion is to purge the malingerers. ,"
In good old sidewalk American, that
means get rid of the loafers."
There isn't a community in the United
States that hasn't seen in recent years
several examples of loafers living on re-
lief. Sometimes they even grew so bold
as to refuse private employment at good
wages simply because they wanted to
remain on the relief rolls. And it shall
remain as a national shame that in some
instances the relief administrators sup
ported them in their stand.
Relief measures properly drawn and
properly administered, are necessary in
this or any other nation at times to pre-
vent suffering among innocent persons.
Right now, however, it appears to US
that the $50 million dollar cut the senate
committee recommends in relief appro-
priations will harm nobody-if all the
loafers are shunted off of relief rolls.
If the loafers remain, on the other
hand, the innocent will suffer along
with them.

Bruce Cation Says
= Life is Cheap But Worth Saving

It has more autos on the roads,
more miles travelled, than any
other country in the world. Also II
led the world in the number OF
dead who paid with their lives for
the speed of todays daily exist
ence.
1t was. and it is still, a horrify-
ing toll, considering that most OF
these victims had done nothing to
deserve death: most of them, in
deed. had observed every precau-
ton possible, and still had been
struck down by forces outside their
control
During the last year. under
leadership of the National Safety
Council the campaign to cut down
this death toll moved steadily for
ward to triumph.
While final figures for 1888
have yet to be compiled, there IS
every indication that the 1888 toll
will be the lowest since 1888. Even
if the figures for December shall
prove to be the same as those for
1887, the saving in life will have
been 740O during the year.
But if the rate of reduction
should prove to have been main
tanned during December the saw
ing may be as high as 5000. Last
November marked the 18th con-
Secutive month of unbroken i'm
provement in traffic safety conddi-
tionS.
Have you as a motorist been in
convenienced slightly by brake
tests, license tests, apparently un-
necessary traffic regulations? Have
you as a pedestrian been haraSsed
by crossing lights and corner traf-
fic policemen?
Maybe you think you have. But
the next time you are inclined to
be annoyed by traffic regulations
that seem a bit oppressive, think OF
those 7400 people who are alive to-
day. and who might be dead. HUI
man life. some of us still believe,
is a precious thing, well worth go
ing to considerable pains to save.

cattle in England had been raw

ease; vet strangely enough. this
disease had never attacked the
cattle in Ireland. This disease
doesn't kill cattle. They merely
waste away. become thin, give no
milk. and are utterly useless. II
an English farmer has a COW that
has anv symptoms of this disease,
he is heaviy finel unless he re-
ports it at once to the local po-
lice. A veterinarian Immediately
makes a diagnosis; and. if the
animal is infected, the news is
telegraphed to London The situ-
alton is considered so alarming
that it is put on the wireless as
my English friend expressed it.
Not only is the infected animal
slaughtered. but every other COW
or steer Oh the farm is also
slaughtered to prevent the spread
of the infection. Immediately a
"stand-Still order is broadcast
by radio from London: this means
that no cattle within a radius OF
five miles of the farm are permit
ted to be moved. In fact even
hunters are not permitted to walk
through the fields within fifteen
miles of the infected farm for
fear of spreading the disease.
These vigorous measures have al
most stamped out the terrible
foot and mouth diseasie in Eng
land.

never used in England. In Amer
lea, of course, we call the young
hogs pigs But in England, all
hogs are called pigs AS the

An Economist S
Viewpoint
By John T. Flynn

There is a violent argument in
progress, of which Mr.. Mariner
Eccles is the center, on the effect
which the governments spending
program has had upon the course
Of business.
Mr.. Eccles says such recovery
as we have had was the result OF
government spending and that
without it the country would have
been ruined.
His critics say had it not been
for the governments spending
policy private investment would
have gotten into action and that
real recovery has been prevented
by government spending.
Both sides ignore some impor-
tant factors There is no doubt
that Mr. Eccles is right when he
says the recovery we have had
has been due to government spend
ing. He is also right when he says
that without government spending
the country would have been ruin
ed. His critics weaken themselves
when they attempt to deny these
facts.
But whether the government
spending has produced any real
recovery is another matter. Whe-
ther the spending has been wise
is also another story And even
more important is the question
whether the policies accompanying
government spending have been
calculated to aid recovery. On
these points the verdict must be
against the government.
Private investment is essential
to the functioning of the capitalist
system. The government spending
program was designed to take the
place of private investment. Now
private investment had complete
ly collapsed by 1881. This was moi
the fault of the government. but
OF the folly Of private business pre-
ceding that collapse. Two great
problems faced the nation as a re-
suit. One was to reform the abuses
which had fouled the system. The
other was to stimulate recovery.
The necessity for carrying out
essential reforms swiftly is obvious
since a commercial system cannot
possibly flourish in the midst OF
continuous reform
This, however, was not done. Ar
example is the fact that only now
is the administration getting
around to Wall Street and the Ex.
change.
With the system reformed anc
the public apprised that reform
was at an end and that govern
ment would then devote its ener
gies to consolidating and stabiliz.
ing the system, private inveStmen
might have been resumed.
Instead almost everything in th
world was done to introduce un
certainty into affairs-the half
baked, ill-digested money policies
the uncertainties about devalua
ton and, above ALL the President
appallingly unnecessary loose tall
big talk-about doing things n
never had any intention of dolng
The spending program was un
avoidable. But it was never intel
ligently planned. The same stlm
ulation could have been obtaine
with half the money.
