18th Time With
5th Round K.O.
g hulk, Oery much OUT
BY EDGAR HAYES

NEW YORK, Feb. Courage
is a fine virtue, but not enough to
win the worlds heavyweight box
ing championship. Clarence Red
Burman, the contender from Bal
timore, discovered that last night
when Joe Louis knocked him out
in 2 minutes and 40 seconds OF
the fifth round. 1t was Louis
thirteenth successful defense of his
crown.
Many of Joe's foes have been
paralyzed by fear before they en-
tered the ring. Red was not. He
was the first to enter the ring. He
was unperturbed by the excite
ment generated by crowd OF
1861. which saw the fight.
When the opening bell sounded,
Red stepped right out to make a
fight of it. And he kept in there
punching until the last blow. He
had the courage. He was willing
to make a fight of it. But he was
sadly deficient in the ability to
bother the champion.

war and Los Angeles its second
alert early this morning, but the
all clear signals were given an hour
later.
San Diego was ordered blacked
out at 2:35 am. (5:35 am, E. 5. -

was put on the alert.

San Diego and we thought wed

man for the Army information serv-

something.
Radios were silenced from $40 to
$40 am.
Residents Confused.
Los Angeles first alert last night,
intended only for police and sheriff S
deputies but misdirected into a
blackout warning, confused residents
far more than the city's blackout
the previous evening.
Col. H. S. Fuller of the Army's
Information Service said the alert
was intended only for civil officers,
to prepare them for possible black
out or air raid warnings. However,
signals were mixed up" he added,
and sirens screamed and radios were
ordered silenced. The all clear
signal was given an hour later.
Quicker Action.
The mistaken blackout was MADE
effective in residential areas much
quicker than the real one Wednes-
day. That was largely explained by
the fact that, warned to be prepared
to turn off all lights within three
minutes or accept the consequences

English company has just declared
an interim dividend of 20 per cent
about one shilling-the same as

equal to $1,S00,000 last year, but
