 He didn't bring along a press agent (to see that the papers got his picture) when he registered for the draft. He considered it a chance to serve his country-not to ad- vertise his patriotism :. He doesn't pride himself on his ability to kite a check. To him a kite is some thing he used to fly in his back yard or from the roof He att tributes your success to ability and his own to good breaks He's never ogled the Radio City Rock cites i.l their undressing rooms from a window in the NEG press dept across the way .. Not because he is any sissy or whoops-m'd dear. But simply because he wouldn't like other guys peeping on his kid sister <. The circles in which he mixes are crowded with square guys ... He doesn't need a night club m. c. to put him to sleep every night. He needs the rest too badly to be caught any place but in his own bed after hard days work |. To him . sucker" is a lollypop.
 He doesn't know what it means to have "a bun on". To him bun is something you eat in the morn ing with your breakfast :. He has never gone into the Globe theater on Broadway, near 46th street, at two in the morn to show off by talking back to the actors 1ikenesses on the screen People who do that, he thinks, are i'm beetles, etc .-.. He has never gone to a psychiatrist for any sort of trouble-such as complex, brok- en heart or the d. t.'s When he has a broken heart, you can betcha your life nothing can mend it but the gal who stepped all over it He doesn't even know what schizophrenia is!
 He's never been awed by any Fifth Avenue shoe salesman who acts like the second lead in a play by s. N. Behrman, and who once made him feel inferior He doesn't make fun of Broadway Rose when she glug-glugs him along Broadway. He really feels sorry for her and wonders why some doctor doesn't help her or something :. He couldn't tell you the difference between Ladislaus F'odor, Ladislaus Bus -Fekete or Stanislaus Fodor- because he doesn't give a damb The sparkle in his eye is from sleeping hourS-not from murine.
 He's never had trouble getting a date with his girl the week Fran chot Tone got into town He has no idea why so many new ho- tels in Miami Beach are empty. He thinks, though, that it could be because so many people are staying home and staying mad = because they got no heaters last year when it stayed cold so long He's screening of the latest picture. He's already seen it at popular prices in his home town weeks before it hits Broadway |. He doesn't im- pose himself on you with burden some conversation when you're busy or concerned with private troubles He thinks an individual has a right to himself, and need not be an ever available sounding board for his probable empty and tire some ideas.

 We have had several requests for our butchers to go to other towns to slaughter hogs and treat them with that pre-roasting pro- cess we recently described. To save disappointments let it be known that we don't travel far to kill hogs unless there's an ex- tra good cider on tap. If you've got a barrel of russet cider, 1899 vintage, and if it's in a clean barrel with just a suggestion of honest tang to it, we'll send some body to look at your hog and to make a proposition. Please don't call, if the cider is in a lnusty barrel.
 Ever hear of Cleo Springs, Ok lah0ma? Neither did we, until last week when Larry Condon sent over letter from A. D. Wilson, a leading citizen from out there. The letter was addressed to the Mayor or POStmaster," of South Britain. Postmaster COndon was busy with the mail, so he asked us to take action on the cOmmunica- ton, which we are glad to report was accomplished. And if any body thinks this column isn't put ting South Britain on the map, just read on!
 MT. Wilson is a he-man, with hair on his chest and a crop of grandchildren. He comes from Yankee stock and displayed re- markable trust in the Mayor or Postmaster, because he sent CASH with his letter.
 The letter contained a new 1ive-cent piece and postcard. The nickIe was for some young Ster to open a bank account with. Wilson has thus encouraged thrift in every one of the 4S states. People he started with One-twen- tieth of dollar are now slipping coupons and contributing to many worthy causes. It's 8 good idea

Sterling Paris,
Negro Ace, Will
Abandon Studies
Coach Lloyd ODDS
Left With But Trio
of Half Milers

Whether the great record Of
Michigan Normals powerful track
team last year will be surpassed
his season is doubtful. This was
The startling prediction expressed
Monday by Coach Lloyd w. Odds
after he had received the disheart-
ening news that Sterling Paris, ace
negro half miller and hurdler. will
not return 10 school next semester.
Paris had been counted upon to
represent the Hurons in the 40
yard dash, the $50 and the indoor
hurdles this year. His decision to
cut short his collegiate career was
motivated by his acceptance of
lucrative Civil Service position in
Toledo.
The former Ohio prep star is the
third eligible Michigan Normal let
ter winner to give up track-at
least temporarily. The other two
are Dave Conway. Wyandotte sprin-
ter, and Ralph Gildenstein, East
Detroit quarter miller.
Conway has been the chief bread
winner in his family since his faith
err died last summer and cannot af.
ford to relinquish his job at pres
ent. Gildenstein, although enrolled
in school. has found himself UNI
able to turn out for the Huron
track team.
Normars main weakness is the
$40, handled brilliantly by Capt.
Leroy Grindle in 1870. Either
Gale Throne, ex-Ohio high school
champion and a freshman here last
year, or Gildenstein was expected
to step into the vacancy left by
Grindle's graduation.
Unfortunately, the situation has
been complicated by Thrones with
drawal from school, That leaves
Odds with but three quarter milers:
Ronnie Clark, George Cole and
Louis Kagan.
Clark has to also double in the
sprtnts, while Cole is nominally a
half miller. Kagan has still to
prove his prowess in the longer
dash.
Odds also has a problem in the
field events. Ray Peterson and Ed
Opalewski, highly considered fresh.
man stars from Detroit, are having
to give extra time to their studies.
Peterson is the young man who
set new college record of feet
AZ inches in the high jump over a
week ago. Opalewski is Normars
No. 2 shot putter.
Although the Hurons in any case
will be stronger in the field events
than last year, their paucity of
quarter milers will keep their
point totals much lower than had
been expected.

that his prison term had been cut
in half without his consent Mon
day and asked the federal district
court to grant him a writ OF ha-

originally sentenced to 10 years for
stealing rifles from the Michigan
National Guard While he was in
Alcatraz, he said his sentence was
changed to five years.
The convict protested this was
done without his consent and was
therefore illegal.

gave consent in writing. He said
the prisoner sought the writ be

English Stables Assured
of Three Classic Races

Newmarket, Eng, Feb. 4-UP-
A. E. Allnutt, a wealthy farmer and
builder, is making a bid to be No.
l race horse owner in 1871. His
plans for his first season include
the three major classics. the 1000
Guineas, the Derby. and the St
Leger winner BooklaW, for $21 900,
at the Newmarket bloodstock sales,
and the colt is entered for all
three classic races. At the previous
sales he bought II of the Aga
khan's yearlings for s1,700 each.
All these purchases have been
sent to be trained at the Manton
stable under Joe Lawson, who re-
marked that Allnutt had never yet
raced a horse.
Sales values are going up owing
TO the Jockey Clubs statement
that 1871 meetings will not be aban-
doned, but substitute courses found
If necessary.
The total realized by the sale Of
the late Sir Abe Bailey's horses
was $4,000. and it is notable that
the price for Sun Lore was the same
as that paid by sir Abe for the colt
when he bought It as a yearlng
from Lord Aston. the breeder.
