TWO TON TONY
SUCCUMBS TO
BROWN BOMBER
Louis Furnishes GalentO So Sew
erely, Referee Stops The
Fight In 4th Round

AS was expected, Joe Louis, the
negro holder of the worlds heavy
weight pugilistic championship, made
short work of his opponent, two-tor
Tony Galento on Wednesday evening
last, in the Yankee Stadium, at New
York.
1t seems unexplainable how the
fight fans will pay good money out
to see such Unmatched contests. 1t
must be because there is in most
every body's system a hankering af-
ter the tragic. People, lots of them,
flock to foot ball game in expecta-
ton of seeing a player carried out on
a stretcher. The gruesome has an
attraction.
Louis has shown the ability either
to cut his opponent to ribbons or to
knock him out cold. His finishing
ability draws thousands just to see
him in action; and, up to date he has
seldom disappointed them.
He seems to be a marvel of speed,
endurance, and of hitting force. He
wins few fights by decision; he flat
tens men, or reduces them to help
lessness when the referee steps in and
stops the carnage. That's what the
fight adherent wants to see, and, so
long as Louis remains the fighting
machine he now appears to be, he will
draw the crowds.
In the Wednesday night contest,
Galento set the crowd wild by very
evidently causing Louis trouble; and
in the third he knocked the burly
bomber off his feet-a feat seldom
accomplished. But that was only a
flash. In the fourth, Louis punished
his man so severely, the referee step
ped in and called a halt.
There seems to be no one in sight
now to give the Detroit Bomber a
good workout even. Nova, a recent
contender, has made good Impress
ion, and he will probably be the next
to face the negro. But it is the gener-
al opinion that it will be either old
age or fast living that can finally
conquer the present champion.

corning injuries reported over the
fourth due to the Irresponsible use OF
fireworks or other explosives. As a
reminder of actual happenings, and a
warning that similar, or even more
serious, accidents are likely to follow
this years celebration, unless great
care is taken to prevent them, DR.. R.
H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, gives these facts:
"The records for 1887 and 1885
show" DR.. Riley said "that COL per-
sons suffered injuries sufficiently SER
ious to require medical attention
There were probably many more
whose injuries were not reported. OF
the BOG injured in 1888, 285 were
white and Fl colored; 224 Of the re-
ported accidents occurred in Balti-
more City and 80 in the Counties.
"There were two deaths, one-the
little five year old girl referred to
above-in Montgomery County; the
other-the boy of twelve-in Wicomi-
co County.
"Firecrackers were responsible for
injuries to 260 persons; sparklers,
to 6; sky rockets, to 5; roman candles
to a; miscellaneous, to %.
"Of the 100 children injured, 10
were from one to years old; SO from
6 to 10 and 90 from eleven to Is. The
116 in the older groups ranged from
16 to 70 years old. Of the total, Al,
suffered injuries to the face; 8, the
neck; 20, the eys; LII, hands or arms ;
35, feet or legs; and 81 to other parts
of the body.
Figures like these can give no idea
of the physical suffering involved or
of the anxiety Of those threatened
with loss of sight or of permanent
Gripping or injury of some part of the
body. Neither do they give any idea
of the danger of lockjaw-tetanus to
give it the medical name-that is al
ways present in injuries from fire
works or other explosives.
"There are many safer and saner
ways Of expressing patriotism than
through irresponsible indulgence in
fireworks or other explosives. If
your celebration Of the Fourth is in
complete without them, limit your in
diligence in fireworks to adequately
safeguarded community displays, un-
der properly qualified direction"

BY MARIAN YOUNG

Bedroom furniture on display in
exhibit rooms these days is more
interesting than ever before. This
certainly is the season for the
homemaker to decide to replace
worn or outmoded chests, chairs,
beds or dressing table with new
pieces.
In the modern bedroom, as in
the modern dining room, set of
matching pieces no longer is con-
sidered a necessity. In fact, the
majority of smart decorators
would rather mix than match.
They are bit more likely to use
mirror or glass or transparent
plastic dressing table with a ma
hogany chest and two beds than
to put a dressing table of match
ing mahogany in the room.
MAPLE GOES
WITH WALNUT
Modern beds of bleached oak or
maple take their place in room
with traditional dressing table and
chest of dark oak or mahogany or
walnut. A pair of modern chests
may stand opposite twin beds with
luxurious quilted satin headboards
and no footboards.
The vogue for mixing rather
than matching should please the
homemsker on limited budget.
For it means that she can replace
an old chest without feeling that
beds, too. must be replaced. even
though they are in fine condition.
A pair of dressers or chests of
identical height and shape look
newer in a room than a tall chest
and not-so-tall dresser. Bed
tables large enough TO hold a
magazine or a book as well as
a lamp and ash-tray look newer
than the dinky varieties. New
boudoir chairs are slightly larger
than formerly.

circumstance

Many unhappy marriages reflect
the inability of the individual to
meet realities. A constant source
of marriage unhappiness is the
habit of one partner or the other
of avoiding reality by construct
ing and living within a sort of
day-dream world that shuts out
fact. 1t is obvious that the grow
ing child should be steered away
from this mental habit.
1t is easy in childhood TO shut
out unpleasant facts by ignoring
them and denying their existence.
Many individuals find the story
book attitude toward life more
pleasant than reality. 1t is in
early childhood that the tempts-
ton to escape reality is strongest.
because the dividing line between
fact and fancy is not yet sharply
distinct.
It is Just at this time, too, that
habit can become strongly in
trenched. so strongly as to DOM
mate later life.
The wise parent guides children
away from fancy and toward fact
wherever necessary to prevent the
day-dresm habit from growing.
That does not mean the child
must be taught to accept all
reality as final and Interchangeable,
but il must be taught TO look at
the facts as real things. As
matter of fact, blind acceptance is
not to be desired in child. But
clear vision is.
The final sum Of the parents
teaching should be in the direction
Of a healthy. balanced, adaptable
child with the individuality and
self-reliance 1t needs to meet the
problems Of adult life.
In achieving this, parents find
IL necessary TO sacrifice some
things-particuiarly the emotional
capture of the child's personality
in the enthusiasm Of early parent

I think 1t would be especially APP
propriate in your case and a very
pleasant change from the usual

that your family are experts in the

the cloth or the mats, and II so,
which? tb) Or would II be best
to set the table with a damask

Answer: (D You can perfectly
well use white damask napkins
with the lace cloth or the mats
whichever you prefer. tb) II your
damask cloth is colored and has
colored napkins. II would be suit
able for a lunch party table, but

that you use your lace mats Tor

fc) They are entirely proper

A lunch party Is in fact the only
