Henry. according TO contractual
agreements, must make I h IS
weight TO defend his lightweight
crown against Lou Ambers In New

the weight will cause Henry TO for

Eddie Meade. Henry's manager,

was doubtful IL Henry could make

that he would wait until next

Meade said Wednesday that Hen

over the lightweight limit. and
with less than week to 60 before
entering the ring against Ambers.
To take off the six pounds will re-
quire considerable hard work for
Armstrong. and may leave him in

The weight question adds an

INTO THE WIND
HELENA MAN IN NAVY PROVES
ABILITY BY TRIP AROUND
HORN
Making That Voyage Stamps Sailor
As Real Old Salt" Capable of Ex-
pectOrating Against Gales Which
Continually Blow There.

Robert Luna of Helena recent
ly proved his ability to spit direct
ly and successfully into the wind,
according to letter he wrote to
his mother, Mrs. w. J. Luna of
the Helena Navy Mothers club.
The distinction is his reward for
being aboard a vessel which sailed
around Cape Horn, the extreme
tip of South America.
Since the development of steam
power years ago, e. K. Beam Of the
Helena navy recruiting office ex-
planned, ships have usually sailed
through the Straits Of Magellan,
rather than take the longer route
around the Horn. In old days, how
ever, the sailing ships were compelled
to round the Horn because of con-
sistently bad weather in the straits.
Rounding the Horn today is some
what unusual, and to have made the
voyage stamps sailor as a real old

salt" and only an experienced "old
salt" can spit against the breeze.
cat least that's the navy legend, "
Beam continued. THE weather Is fairly
bad around the Horn as well as in the
Strait of Magellan, and although there
is an initiatory ceremony for such
sailors as Luna, making the voyage
for the first time, it is brief, stilted
affair"
Luna is on the U. S. S. Tuscaloosa,
now touring with the U. S. S. San
Francisco and U. S. S. Quincy on a
goodwill tour down the east coast Of
South America, around the Horn, and
up the west coast.
Their next stop will be Valparaiso,
Chile. Luna enjoyed somewhat elab-
crate initiation to more experienced
group of sailors on the southwark trip
when they crossed the equator. It was
the first time for him and few
others, and their more widely tray
eled shipmateS gave them deep inn
preston on their minds and, because
of paddles, elsewhere.
