Nicaragua AirmoiIs Honor Will Roqers

A LTHOUGH he was not includ AA ed in the Famous Americans series of U. S. stamps, Will Rog- CTS, cowboy-humorist and come dian, is not without philatelic dis tinction. Nicaragua has honored his memory as a national bene- factor in series of five airmails, released in 1889. One of the stamps, above, shows Rogers be- side an airliner.
 The stamps commemorate Rog- CTS efforts to relieve suffering in Nicaragua's capital after the disastrous earthquake of March 31, 1881. Rogers flew to Managua, donated $5000 for Red Cross work, and inaugurated a campaign in United States for relief funds.
 Rogers portrait belongs only on an airmsil stamp. He identi- fled himself with air travel when transport lines were young, flew thousands of miles. He was killed Aug. IS, 1885, when a plane pi- loted by Wiley Post, round-the- world flyer, crashed in fog near Point Barrow. Alaska.

CHAPTER X

The sun hid behind a big dark, cloud the next morning but the sea was calm. Eddie took dozen turns around deck to get loosened up and then worked out on the light bag while Mike Kelly skipped rope.
 "Okay," said Pop. Lets go, now. About five rounds, fairly fast, will do it."
 Val sidled up to the veteran trainer as the two fighters climbed between the ropes.
 'How's Duffy this morning?" she inquired.
 "No better. He can't look food straight in the face. Not even orange juice. He just lays there and moans. He tried to get up once and almost fell flat on his face"
 Such a pity" she murmured. And then, business-like: Pop what do you think? About him, I mean" nodding toward Eddie who was having his hands bandaged by Kelly.
 He's in great shape" said Pop, "He didn't need much more than this. Just somethin' to taper of with. But you gotta admit that this is no place for fighter to taper off for tn most important bout so far in his career"
 Granted So what? Anyhow, go on and bandage Mikes hands and let them get going"
 Mike shuffled out and met Eddie in midring. Throw every thing you got, Mike" Eddie told him. Don't be afraid to belt me one."
 Mike grunted and stuck left out experimentally. Eddie blocked it, bobbed low and threw his right. It landed on Kelly's ribs but Mike worked in close and shot left and right of his own to Eddie's midsection.
 He worked Cavalier into a cor ner, jabbed a left and swung a hard right but his target had van ished Eddie weaved, bounced of the ropes and was back of Kelly before the latter was barely tuA 4ACS uAOInAQ'
 Pops eyes glistened. Did yol see that?" he chortled. "Bennl Leonard or Tommy Loughrar couldn't have done any better. I'v' seen lot of 'em.,' he confided "but this kid has 'em al beat.
 "T1me!" he shouted, looking a his watch.
 They rested for minute and ther went at it again. For five rounds i was a fast pace. Mike Kelly threv everything he had but Eddie slip ped the punches, blocked beautiful ly and pepered Mike with stinginl lefts and rights.
 Couldn't have gone anothe round," Mike panted when it wa over. "The legs. The old legs ain what they used to be-"
 "You're good boy, Mike, Eddie told him.
 How about you, Eddie?" Pol rubbed him off with a towe. Flows the Wind?"

 Barney MacGregor conveniently choked on a piece of biscuit be- hind his napkin.
 Eddie Cavalier stared aghast at the pile of potatoes Wong Lee placed before him.
 Hey, Wong. There's enough here to feed the whole merchant marine. It'll take me 30 days to get these peeled"
 "only 25 pounds" Wong in- formed him. "No take long. Two hour, mebbe, if you work chop chop"
 Val came in about an hour later Flows he getting along, Wong?'
 Wong shook his head sadly Better we cook peels. Have more potatoes that way"
 50 I notice," Val murmured But don't get discouraged, Mister Cavalier. You've only got about 12 pounds to go."
 "I'd rather fight 12 rounds" he said gloomily and she laughed.
 Say, Wong" he inquired curi- ously when he had finished. "Hov do you find time to get these spuds peeled when you're here by your self?"
 Wong pointed over in a corner we use lectric peeler," he said | blandly, "Take mebbe IS min- utes."
