Were the election to be upon the

A 0-year-old boy asks me to tell
about mine-laying, so I shall say
something about the subject today.
In warfare, mines are often
placed in the water. They contain
a powerful explosive, and are likely
to sink any vessel which strikes
them.
Early In the European War, Ger
many sowed mines in the North
Sea, and Great Britain did the
same. The public does not know
how many thousands were placed
IN the water. Many of the German
mines were magnetic" and did
heavy damage until the British
found ways to guard against them.
Mines can be laid by cargo
steamers, cruisers or submarines,
But they must have special fittings.
An opening at the stern Of a
steamer or cruiser is used for drop
ping the mines.
Every mine must be water tight
4 1t Is to explode. The case is
sealed with great care.

was credited to tackle Al WiStert,

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Aided and

Fight Promoter Mike Jacobs stepped
out of character today for a short
role as the Angel Of Peace, which
promises to 60 a long way toward
settling the hottest feud since the
Hatfields wouldn't speak to the Nc
Coys.
The result probably will be that
the New York State Athletic Com
mission and Joe Jacobs, manager of
Tony Galento. will bury the
hatchet' in their long standing row,
thus removing the biggest stumbling
block in the way of holding the
heavyweight bouts between Galento
and Max Baer this winter and Ga
lento and Joe Louis next summer in

They would move in with the

cluding a decisive IL setback ad-

New York won the Hershey Cup
series, which marked the first third

only would give it a flying start
in the Boardwalk Cup chase but also
enhance its league championship
hopes.

Taken by Rangers,
On Wild Streak
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The blazing
New York Rangers just can't be
stopped.
Supposedly crippled. tired and
ready to wilt under the pressure of
the second longest winning streak
in modern hockey, the Blue Shirts
were about ready-so rumor had it
to be taken to the cleaners by their
fierce intercity rivals, the New York
Americans.
The game was played last night
and the result read about the same
as the last Is times the Rangers
had started-they won again. In
16 games the Rangers have won II
and tied S.
Not only did they wallop the
Americans, So, but they outsped,
outskated and outeverythinged the
hapless Amerks to shoot into first
place in the league standings, thanks
to the Chicago Blackhawks, who
took the measure Of the Toronto
Maple Leafs by 2-1.
In the leagues third game-vir-
tually lost in the excitement over

Leading the way, however, was the
fact that the Galento-Baer fight
should be cinch to end the battle
between Joe Jacobs and the athletic
commissioners. which probably has
been the fiercest war of words in
sportdom. For years there has been
no love lost in this feud
Here's the way Uncle Mikes"
peace proceedings go:
For weeks. Joe has resisted all
Mike Jacobs pleadings to hold the
fight in New York, simply because
neither Joe, as manager. nor Two
ton Tony, as fighter. hold New York
licenses from the commission.
Charity Is Persuasive.
But Uncle Mike announced the
fight as for charity. so Joe immedi-
ately accepted-with a stipulation.
This was that he had, at present, no
legal power to sign q contract for
Galento in this State, but that he
would do 1t in a minute II granted
q license.
Thus, the commissioners are the
lads "in the middle" And since the
fair name of charity is a compelling
factor in the fight business. the
f1stic fathers undoubtedly will see
the light.
All this time Mike Jacobs has been
looking ahead to this summer, when
he must give Louis some work at
good pay.
