humdrum hours of everyday living.
They make no effort to be helpful
or cheerful in mood. They will
spend mournful hours over the con-
struction of an ice-box cake or the
knitting of baby blanket, and then
produce these things with subdued
gloom that robs them Of all charm.
Any woman with a home, a good
husband, three fine children, an in
come that would be wealth in nine
tenths of the countries of the globe,
who talks of her family as "poor
people," and envies other women:
their fur coats, is, to begin with, a.
stupid woman. She lives in mar
row, anxious uncomfortable groove.
She has built a jail for her soul,
and only she can unlock it and let
the soul fly free.
There may be physical base for
this unnecessary guinness, but very
likely there isn't. It is really a bad
habit, custom into which some
women fall, Of signing and mourn
ing, growing fearful over their own
depressed thoughts, sinking into
long silences, making no effort to
contribute their share to the fam
ily's happiness. They will make
beds, even hang fresh curtains and
put flowers about, but they do it
all with smouldering sense of re-
sentiment and WEAKNESS, never
thinking that the old words are as
true now as when they were writ
ten: 'The letter killeth, but in the
spirit there is life."
He Likes Good News.
Even when he knows 1t isn't true,
even when he knows it is a flight
of imagination and optimism, man
loves to hear good news when he
gets home at night. No matter
what the events of the day have sig
nifed, he is comforted, is given
fresh confidence, when his wife
laughs at worries, reminds him of
other evil promises that never came
to anything, and assures him that
as long as he and she are well, and
the children well, nothing can come
along that they can't face and con-
quer. They'll get along somehow;
they can rent this house and move
to smaller quarters, and it will all
be fun!
Some years ago a young husband
and wife of my acquaintance were
in desperate fear for the life of
tiny baby. The baby had been
rushed to a hospital; the mother,
still weak from her confinement two
weeks earlier, was with her mother.
When the husband went to the
hospital for conference of physi-
clans he was told to see that his
wife got what rest she might in
the night.
For we will have sad news for
her in the morning." the head doc
tor said.
The young man carried this mes
sage home, delivering it in due time,
but emitting the word sad"
''News?" asked the women of the
household. HE means good news!"
The wife slept deep and restfully;
everyone slept-except the father.
He sat near telephone all night.
And in the morning good news
came; little Mark had weathered
the night: he is now splendid boy
Of three. And the family, forgetting
the terrible scare, never will forget
the generosity and courage and faith
Of the man who carried them
through II.

night with his gloves on. Sharkey's
manager, Tommy Rourke, ordered
the gloves removed. They were full
of plaster. One good punch could
have brought a permanent close to
Sharkey's career.
That's fight Sharkey will never
forget. Odds were 10 to Mccoy
would beat him. When the Kid
knocked him down in the first round
the ringside odds went to 10 to 3. But
the Sailor weathered the storm. He
started working on his opponents
stomach; and the referee counted
10 over the Kid in the tenth round.
Sharkey couldn't forget the matter
Of the loaded gloves.

Unpleasant Memory

Tom Sharkey recalls another I'M
pleasant incident in the Kids life.
81 remember" Tom says, show
he met Tommy Ryan, in 1896, after
working as Ryan's sparring partner
and learning all his tricks, still hid
ing his own skill. He wrote Ryan
he was dead broke and sick and
wouldn't Ryan give him chance
to make some money? It would be
just a workout for Ryan, but it
meant change for the Kid. He
told Ryan he wouldn't even have to
train. Ryan took him at his word
and gave him the fight. Mccoy
beat him unmercifully-and laughed
about it."
The tables were once turned on
Mccoy, however. He was the vic
tim of an upset that ranks with the
games most inexp1icable. Meeting
Jack Mccormick in 1899 in Chicago,
the Kid was rated 100 to shot
to win. One second after the bell
the Kid was stretched on the floor
senseless. Mccormick had knocked
him out with the first punch.

Speaking Of Sports
Fiction Pales
Before Career
OF Kid Mccoy
By ROBERT McSHANE

CReieased by Western Newspaper Union.l
NORMAN SELBY was the real
~ Mccoy" And Norman Selby
took his own life recently in a De-
troit (Mich.) hotel.
It was under the name Of "Kid
Mccoy" that Selby became one Of
the best and most glamorous box
ing champions of half . century ago.
The real Mccoy" was originated
when the Kid billed himself that
way in opposition to q rival who
also called himself Mccoy.
There were no tears shed at the
Kids funeral. He had caused too
much trouble during his lifetime,
had pulled too many mean tricks
and was never too particular about
how he fought as long as he was
victorious.
But Kid Mccoy was a great fight
er. Boxing old timers remember
him as a paralyzing puncher-one
of the hardest hitters the fight game
has ever known. His skill was SO
great he could pit successfully his
160 pounds against the best heavy
weights of his day. His cunning was
almost diabolical, and it was his
cunning which made so many enc
mics for him.

Lesson in Cunning

Mccoy reveled in victimizing his
opponents. The old shoe lace gag
was one Of his best. In the midst
Of combat he would pause, point
down, and tell his opponent to "hur-
~ up, tie your shoe laces." When
the victim looked, Mccoy struck.
Sailor Tom Sharkey, now living in
San Francisco, recalls the Kid with
no fond memories. He tells about
their fight in New York back in 1899.
The Kid came into the ring that

Rugged Individualist

A note was found beside McCoy's
body. His message was that he NO
longer could stand the madness Of
the world"
Perhaps the Kid was discour-
aged because there was no longer
spotlight shining upon him. He
was a rugged-and ruthless-indi
vidual. Only extremes meant any,
thing to him. He scorned the well
trodden path, always seeking glory
and excitement When they could
no longer be his he decided, for the
drst time, to fse~~ In the towel

The desire for harmony was in
dicated by the prediction of Mr..
Hyde, that the final draft will carry
unanimous report.
Meanwhile, it developed last night
that the platform builders are draft
ing an additional plank, guarantee
ing the rights of the colored race to
equality of opportunity in the in
dustrial, economic and political life
of the Nation. 1t is understood the
tentative draft also indorses anti
lynching legislation and promises
the colored population representa-
tion at Army and Navy posts and in
the air services.
Because of the desire of party
leaders to keep the platform as
short as possible, the District dele
gates gave up hope today of having
plank included that would place
the party on record in favor of
representation for Washingtonians
in Congress and the electoral COL
lege.
Edward F. Colladay, District ma
tional committeeman, made a final
effort yesterday in behalf of the
local representation plank, but the
platform builders told him they
could not reopen the tentative draft
of the platform for additional sub
jects.

over to the Republican party-con-
tending President Roosevelt had
made flop of foreign affairs as
well as of national defense.
Gov. Stassen, big and broad
shouldered, like Viking in appear
ance despite his youth, won pro-
longed applause and cheers from
the delegates as he rolled out the
keynote speech of the convention.
He speaks without visible effort. but
with plenty of emphasis.
The Minnesota governor devoted
more than three-quarters of his ad-
dress to foreign affairs-national de-
fense and the relations of this coun-
try with others and a demand for
this country to remain out of foreign
wars. His structures against the
Roosevelt administration for failure
to prepare this country, in the light
OF what was known to it about con-
ditions in Europe and Asia won in
slant approval of the delegates.
Their applause gave clue not only
to what the Republican platform
may contain, but also to the issues
which are likely to be raised In the
coming campaign.

represented, on the whole, the best
type of American wives and part
ners.
Which brings up the general
women's angle of the convention.
This is not a well-dressed crowd.
Possibly the cloudy days and
showers have kept the best clothes
of the delegates in their closets,
but, in the two sessions Of the con-
yention that have been held, the
millinery and the sartorial equip
ment have been little better than
that OF a lodge convention in q
Middle West town, which indicates
that this convention is indeed and
in truth nliddle-class American
crowd.
The rich sponsors, patrons, owners
and stockholders who once plug
hated around the Republican con-
vention and swished through the
streets In Rolls-Royces in former
days are gone. The plutocracy is
as far from this convention as the
proletariat. Indeed the only real
plutocrat here is Joe Pew, who
lacks the swagger with which the
Vanderbilts and Depews and the
Morgans sometimes used to brighten
Republican conventions.
Joe Pew, the sole plutocrat Of
this dim galaxy, does not dress the
part. Instead of the pompous and
slow tread of the old-time aristo-
crat Pew hurries slumping, slouch-
ing, shouldering along like scared
orang -outang who had been dressed
for a hayride and slept in his brand
new clothes. So middle -class demo-
cracy is exemplified in the grand
old party, where the candidates
parade themselves before the multi
tude and the platform committee
consults recalcitrant Democrats be-
fore sounding its platform clarion
notes.

New Capitol Police
Unit 10 Be Set Up
As Defense Move
20 Seasoned Men
From Three Agencies
To Be Transferred

At least 20 seasoned men" from
the Metropolitan Police, Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation and Secret
Service will be transferred to the
Capitol by next Monday to become
a new independent protective force
to strengthen national defense.
This was learned today from Ken
meth Romney, ergeant-at-arms of
the House, who is making arrange
ments for the transfer under au-
thortiy of new law effective Mon
day at the beginning of the 1941
fiscal year. Congress appropriated
$50 600 to pay such a force.
Details of the program have not
yet been developed, Mr.. Romney
said, but he expects to work it out
this week in collaboration with Of
ficials of the agencies concerned.
He probably will confer soon with
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superintend-
ent OF police, from whom most of
the men will be obtained, and with
j. Edgar Hoover, head of the F. B. T.;
Elmer Trey, chief Treasury agent.
and Frank Wilson, head of the
Secret Service.
The men TO be transferred will
hold all their rights of accumulated
service in their respective agencies,
and after completing their special
service may return to their original
jobs, if they desire. They will not be
brigaded into the Capitol police, but
will operate under direction of the
Capitol Police Board.
The metropolitan police will wear
their regular police uniforms, and
the plain clothes men acquired from
the F. B. I. or the Secret Service
will continue to serve at the Capitol
in plain clothes.
The Independent force will con-
tinue to be paid directly by their
original agency, Mr.. Romney said,
but these agencies will be reim-
bursed by the special fund appro-
priated by Congress, so that funds
of the original agencies will not be
depleted.

Convention Sentiment
Favors Sectional
Balance on Ticket
Would Have Westerner
For Vice President if
Fastener Gets Top Spot
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, June 25.-As in
most former national political con-
ventions, the vice-presidential nomi-
nation is drawing about as much at
tention this week as a stuffed shirt.
However, among various groups
there are undercurrents of specula-
ton.
Whom can we choose if such and
such candidate is selected for top
place on the ticket?"
Majority sentiment appears to
favor Westerner for the vice presi-
dental place in the event an East
erner Is named standardbearer, and
vice versa.
Dewey Taft or Taft-Dewey.
For example, there has been much
talk Of an agreement which would
give Thomas E. Dewey of New York
the vice presidential nomination on
a ticket headed by Senator Robert
A. Taft of Ohio, and another ticket
with these names reversed. Both
Mr.. Dewey and Senator Taft, how
ever, diSavow any such understand
ing.
Others mentioned in the early
speculation for second place include
Senator Styles Bridges of New
Hampshire, Hanford MacNider of
Iowa, former American Legion
commander and one time Assistant
Secretary of War; Gov. Harlan j.
Bushfleld of South Dakota, an orator
Of the Black Hills country.
All three will be placed in nomina-
ton for top honors.
Short Is Avowed Aspirant.
Then, there is Representative
Dewey Short, only Republican in the
Missouri congressional delegation, an
avowed candidate for second place
OIL the ticket. He will be nominated
for the vice presidency by Repre-
sentative Harold Knutson of Min
nesota
Mr.. Short, baby member" when
he first went to the House, is one
time preacher. Graduate of Euro
pean universities, he is noted for his
Ozark Mountain wit, and always
draws a crowd when he addresses
the House of Representatives.

Asserting that the Republicans
would not permit military or eco
nomic defense of the Nation to be
made partisan issue, Mr.. Martin
charged, however, that the Demo-
cratic administration had failed to
protect and conserve the savings
and substance of the American peo-
Pile" This, he said, had made it
necessary to enact otherwise un-
necessary taxes to raise an adequate
defense fund"
Session Starts Late.
The days first session got under
way late, at 1880 am. E. S. T.. anG
the Rev. Paul H. Andreen, pastor
of the Cokato Lutheran Church,

use America as means to preserve
our civilization, give us of Thy wis

hand over us, so that our country
may continue to be the beacon light
OF justice, peace, goodwill and hope
to the peoples of the earth.'
The convention quickly adopted
the report of the Credentials Com
mittee which had upheld the Ma
tlonal Committee in throwing out all
State delegation contests. The ac-
ton gave convention seats to the
following contested groups:
The j. Leonard Replogle group
from Florida, the John E. Jackson
delegation from Louisiana, the Perry
w. Howard faction from Mississippi
and the j. Bates Gerard faction
from South Carolina.
Tonight, when former President
Hoover is the guest speaker of the
convention, he is expected to wade
into the Roosevelt administrations
handling of both foreign and do
mestic problems. Scattered among
the delegates are warm admirers of
the former President, who believe
that he is the loyal candidate to run
for President this year.
May Stay at Convention.
These Hoover followers are bank
ing greatly on the effect which Mr.
Hoover's address may have on the
convention. He is slated to hold
a press conference tomorrow morn
ing, and it is now reported he will
remain in Philadelphia perhaps for
the duration of the convention
ready either to take advantage of
any tide setting toward his own
nomination, or to exert a guiding
hand in the choice of another.
