 June 20 is already a redletter day in my life For I truly know that will be the day on which achieve my supreme ambition, the winning of the worlds heavyweight boxing championship, I shall beat Joe Louis.
 Actually, I will be beating Louis AGAIN-for I honestly think defeated him in Madison Square Garden last February. I was be- wildered and surprised when the decision went against me. One of the officials, Tom Shortell, who died a month ago, and other sports experts thought as I did, that Ar turo won.
 But, enough of that I must ac- cept that decision. This time I will make it so decisive that there shall be no doubt. How shall do it? Friends, I should be lying to you if I said now definitely that I will knock out Louis or that I will win instead by outpointing him. That is something I cannot forecast. Who knows but that a perfectly placed and timed blow will enable me to knock out the champion?
 No Advance Guarantee
 But I can't guarantee ill ad- vance that I shall have the oppor- tunity to put across such per fechy placed and timed punch Maybe the fight will go the 15- round distance in that big Yankee Stadium. Let me rather just tel you confidently that I shall bea Louis. The method I shall adop and the time it will take me t, acquire victory will depend oi such circumstances of action tha I cannot predict.
 Even the referee and one judg who voted against me in my frs l5-round encounter with Louis ad mitted that the fight was virtual a draw for 10 rounds and tha what ground I lost was lost in tn closing rounds. I was tired.
 That fight was the first I ha had in eight months. I had bee back in the States only a fey weeks from my native Chile. had hardly had time to becom acclimated. And, to top it all, developed a bad cold not man days before the fight. My tenn perature was 1o3 I had to foreg' several days of boxing when needed it bady. I couldn't con ,n4ue roadwork to strengthen m, legs. My appstite was affected. was not at my best and that l why I tired. I was so weary in tn l4th round that I just jumped around and clowned to pass ava, those three minutes.

 I am in perfect shape now Anc that is one reason why I an punching harder and with bette timing. Some say don't puncl hard enough to kayo Louis Phooeyl Arturo punches well. have hurt many men. And z knockout punch depends more os

into STATE OF OHIO OCT. 2!
BRICKER R-DAVEY
AND THE OHIO SCHOOLS

Experience is mans greatest teacher. There can be
no quarrel with that statement for universal truth
we seldom II ever, forget what have learned by
experience.
One of the most bitter experiences the people Of
Dayton, as parents and members Of progressive
community have ever suffered through in the full glare
of mercess publicity from the Of the nation came
as result OF the public school crisis of 1888.
1t is something none Of us will forget How
ever served on very useful purpose. The closing Of
the Dayton schools for lack funds awoke the people
Of this city to greater the operation
the school system and its effect the education and
preparation of the children Of community for fes
problems and opportunities
The public school crisis Of 1893 is an important is
today in the campaign for the governoshp between
Governor Bricker and former Governor Davey.
In it's search Of the records for this series Of articles
to keep its readers informed the the present
campaign, The Forum believes the school system is is
of vital Importance 1t takes rank with relief old
age pensions, and jobs, because great writer
put it. Education is the life insurance Of democracy
Thus we examine the record.
We found that Daveys operation of the school sys-
tenn resulted in 900 deficit which he left for
Governor Bricker to pay Because of this deficit Davey
failed to the school foundation payments local
boards Of education were forced to borrow money to
keep the schools open. Interest had to be paid on this
money.
Davey was severely censured for this failure by the
Ohio Education Association, which made the following
their local tax receipts is money that ought to be
spent for current school needs in promoting the educa
tional welfare of the children Of the state Instead
is toll levied against childhood opportunities TO save
the face of the state government.
Here is Governor Brckers record on the same issue
In his first year Governor Brcker paid S3,0oO,OOO
the deficit and equal sum will be paid by the end
of this year He also paid S24600o IN interest on
Daveys deficit.
While he was paying on the deficit and interest
Governor Brickers operation Of the school system was
SO efficient he enabled to pay $1Oo00,OOO more 20
the schools in his first than Davey did IN MS last
of Brokers
first year received 1921 IS than they received
in Daveys last year and this money was received ~
cash in full and when due, for the first time
The net result is that the schools Of Ohio have been
revitalized
The contrast between the Bricker and Davey al
mnistrations is emphasized when statements by the
Ohio Education Association regarding both admihis.fa
tions are examined We quoted a statement above py
the Association made in 1893, when Davey was COVER
nor Mr. Walton Bliss, secretary OF the assoclaaleh'

 Ann tossed her head. 'You wont catch me melting" she said. They got back to the subject at hand Ann said, 'I'd like to live with you Clara. It's wonderful of you to ask me"
 "You might come and give it the once over after work tonight" Clara suggested.

again did another strange thing tO her heart. 1t stopped its thudding and sid downward. Again she brought herself up short. Paul Hay- den had merely done Q gentlemanly thing in carrying her baggage. He would have done as much for an elderly woman, and with the same casual kindness. He hadn't cared enough to ask where she was going. It seemed important that he hadn't cared that much. The train roared out of the night and she stepped aboard. Five stations farther west she alighted.
 ''Red cap, lady?" With the ques- ton, her bags were lifted from her hands. Paul Hayden, none other, started for the stairs.
 well, I declare" Ann breathed. Her eyes sparlkled, Q little 1augl, tinkled, and the last remnant oi rancor toward Paul Hayden van- ished from her mind. It had never been in her heart. They walked up the street, side by side.

 Lets get back to the point. Why didn't you ride with me?"
 Because I'm afraid of you"
 Afraid of me?" she exclaimed on Q rising infection. I'm the most harmless person in the world"
 He started to walk again and she hurried along close to his side. Hc muttered, You don't appear harm. less to me-"
 That's silly"
 "All girls are silly"
 That's not so." And I'm afraid of all girls" "Why?"
 Because they want to marry me-"
