the experts to be all washed up. IN
fact, Nova entertained the same idea
as did the experts.
"When you lay on a cot in little
cubicle in hospital, you get plenty
of time-too much time-to think"
Nova said recently. I'D lift up on
my side and see crutches-my
crutches - standing in a corner
against the wall.
"Those sticks seemed to portend
my never walking, let alone fight
ing, again. Things looked so gloomy
that honestly thought of sneaking
out of the hospital some night and
jumping off the Golden Gate bridge"
But that thought didn't linger for
long. As soon as he had disposed
Of the crutches, Nova knew he could
whip anything on two feet. Already
he is ashamed Of the transient
thought that he might not be the
worlds greatest heavyweight.
Last July, quite well on his way
toward recovery from the Galento
fasco, Lou went to prison-of his
own volition. He started to train
in the Nevada State penitentiary at
Carson City, under the determined
hand of Warden Bill Lewis. Nova's
novel training site was picked for
him by his manager, Ray Carlin.
Back in Shape
When he quit training in Carson
City, Lou was in better shape than
he had been for many years. He
now claims that his illness was Of
long standing, and that it had handi-
capped him in several previous
fights. But that, he says, is a thing
of the past. He has recOvered-bOth
his health and his self-confidence.
The California Adonis has often
declared his longing to fight Billy
Conn and Joe Louis.
81 don't think" he said, that
Conn has licked any good heavy
weight. That fellow-Lee Savold-
whom he defeated in the Garden 4
few weeks ago never was anything
more than a good preliminary fight
er. The other heavies on Conn's list
of victories were not much better"
By and large, Lou holds present
heavyweights in rather low esteem.
He veers sharply away from the
Galento tack, refusing to speak of
his contemporaries as dose BUNS"
He reduces their pugilistic stature
in more grammatical fashion.
Regardless of his defeat by Ga
lenfo don't sell Noya too short He
has a determination amounting to
stubbornness but he has always a
definite goal in mind and unlimited
faith in his ability to reach that
goal.

NILS week had two letters
that said the same thing;
L one from Nancy, a girl of
is in Los Angeles, and the other
from Anne, a woman of A in
Boston. Each one was fooling
herself and each one wanted me
to 60 on with the fooling.
It was the old question. 81
know he likes me better than
anyone else; he was unmistake-
able in his attentions and inten-
tons for months, but something
has happened-he was away, or
was away, and now for some
weeks he hasn't telephoned or
come to see me-"
The girl Of 16 is quite desperate
about it.
II wrote him twice." she writes,
land then l returned q book he had
loaned me, and telephoned him to
see if he had gotten it. He was as
nice as he could be, and said he
would telephone as soon as he was
free for an evening, but that was
a week ago, and I'm just sick about
it! hear he is going with another
girl, not seriously, but he has taken
her out twice, and it makes me feel
just heartbroken. I will never like
any one else as well, and I seem
incapable of getting any interest in
life except thinking of him."
Older Woman's Case Sadder.
The middle-aged woman is less
despairing, but after all, her case
is sadder, for at A a love-affair
bites pretty deep, and one is not
at all sure that there will be an
other coming along in year or two
to heal the wound.
IT was unhappily married more
than 20 years ago." says the Boston
woman's letter. 1.-THE marriage
was a mistake from the first, and
after seven months Of it we we're
divorced; my daughter was born
some months later. This marital
failure was a bitter experience to
me, and for years took no interest
whatever in men, devoting myself to
my child and my profession. I am

He il successful, good-looking, popu-

BILLY began paying me real at

which I did.
Her World Stops.
Then. quite suddenly, just three
weeks ago. everything stopped. l
was stunned. No message. no tele-
phone, no dates; it left me feeling
scared and blank. I wrote him,
tried to resume the old easy tone,
but I felt that failed. After some
days he did come to dinner, but he
brought his young office associate

not done SO. So after some hesita-
ton, believing the whole thing to be
a dreadful misunderstanding and
mistake, wrote him honestly. His
answer came today. It was cheer
full. friendly, casual, and answers
absolutely nothing. He says he is
terribly busy but will come around
soon. This mornings paper lists his
name as guest at smart little
theater supper given by one Of our
prominent society women.
II know he likes me better than
any new-found friend. We have
known each other for seven or eight
years. although the specially init
mate friendship only began last
spring. For the first time in my
life am in love, and I cannot have
the whole thing terminate this way,
and yet have my pride to consider,
and don't want to overstep the line.
In what way can I attract him back
to me, for l know that it would take
little to restore the old happy con-
fidence."
Love = Fleeing Fever.
Both Forty-four and Sixteen are
fooling themselves. They know in
their own hearts that until an en-
gagement is announced and the ring
safe on woman's finger, man is
as free as air. A few loveletters,
few exquisite memories are all that
remain to the woman, and at most
they would 60 only to prove what we
all know anyway, that man is a
tickle animal, as woman is, and
that once that fleeting fever called
being in love is over, it is OVER.
Any attempts to restore it only be-
Titles the woman in the mans eyes.
No man needs any reminder if he
really wants to see a woman. In
the happy first stages of an affair
she has a thousand proofs of this.
He finds excuses for messages, meet
ings. exchanges Of notes.
Her life is one blissful reminder of
his devotion.
Go Bravely On.
When it stops, the only thing to
do is to make the most Of dattering
memories. and 60 bravely on to the
next exciting friendship. Re
proaches and reminders will only
annoy him, and destroy the remains
of mis- affection.
For Sixteen, of course, life holds
deeper and truer emotions; she will
laugh at her little-girl tragedy some
day, and regard the object of it with
indifferent amazement. But for For
ty-four the matter is more serious.
It is a real calamity to have
glimpsed, at that age, after the lone
ly and hard-working years, what
companionship and 4 home and the
devotion Of fine man might mean,
and to relinquish it will be a hard
slow painful task.
Women pay high for everything
they get in this life: love means
more to them than it does to men,
and married life offers them induce
ments that it doesn't hold for their
mates. Children cost mothers IN
flnitely more than they do fathers;
they have . higher value to their
mothers. But Of al things for which

 Before the final 224 to 16l vote, a solid Republican front and a substantial bloc of dissident Demo- crats virtually eliminated the reg ulatory features and wrote their own bill on the floor. Administra- tion efforts at compromise were in vain.
 Three major blows were dealt the bill:
 1. Elimination of the controver- sial provision to permit the gov- ernment to license businesses in order to force compliance with price regulations. Price Adminis- trator Leon Henderson claimed this provision was the backbone" of any control program.
 2. Creation of a five-man board of review with power to overrule regulations laid down by the price administrator.

MILK PRICE TO
 ADVANCE l CENT

Hartford, Conn, Nov 2e-(UP)-- Twelve large distributors in the Hartford, New Haven and Bridge. port areas announced today that the price oS milk would advance one cent Q quart, effective Monday.
 The increase was attributed to an order of State Milk Administrator Donald O. Hammerberg. boosting producer prices approximately three quarters of cent Q quart, affective the same date.
 The new prices to consumers will be 1o cents Q quart for Grade 4, and 1 cents for Grade B.
 lt was expected that others would follow the lead of the larger dis. tributors and that the increase probably would become general throughout the state next week.
 The New Haven group intimated that still further hoisting of prices would be pecessary unless a new distribution method was put into effect. It was suggested that de- llveries every other day might avoid this possibility.

 Radio Moscow quoted Pravda that the situation around Moscow "re- mains very serious and tense."
 Pravda estimated that Germans have thrown 49 divisions-possibly 5000 men-into the fight and ad- mitted that the Germans are Inov- ing ahead on the Kiln salient de- spite severe losses.
 The Germans were said to be aided by dry weather and tempera- lures not too cold, enabling tanks, ar- tillery and even motorcycles to move quickly through forests and over fields.
 A large tank force was said to have approached Kiln but a Soviet tank brigade stemmed the attack, destroying 70 German tanks and killing 2,000 men, radio Moscow said. In the VolokolamSk sector Q heavy German infantry force and 40 tanks were thrown back across a Tlver while Russian guards regiments stemmed a NaI advance on the Moscow-Leningrad railroad.
 Radio Moscow gave no confirma- ton of the Paris reports. Reports of this Nazi radio station, it has been noted, frequently are exaggerated.
 However, radio Moscow as heard by the United Press listening post here made no secret of the fact that the offensive against the capital is not stopped and that the fianking wings of the great NaA r:ncers con- tinue to move on despite fierce re- sistance.
 A strong counter -attack in the Kalinin sector recaptured seven lo- calities and drove the Germans back with heavy losses. This, it seemed obvious, was designed to relieve the intense Nazi pressure on the north ern Moscow salients
