Ben B. Hunt Of Austin, Texas
has come out with a grand idea. He
wants this country to establish an
Academy of the American Herais-
phere" to foster good relations with
all countries of our part of the globe.
In explanation, he has sent out a
most inspiring pamphlet which not
only projects his plan and the names
of men who can execute it but also
shows the genuine and kindly spirit
of Mr.. Hunt himself. He urges US to
work for mutual understanding be-
tween ourselves and South America,
not just talk about it; advocates
exchange students and the prepare
ton of an American handbook, I
feel that we should be with him in
sentiment and in effort.

first novel in the hands of his for
mer teacher. My belief, l must con-
fess, is that his future as an author
is right now in the hands Of the
Lord. For unless he is a great ex-
ception, those some painfully ground
out manuscripts will in all likelihood
be back soon-in the hands of thei,
writer. After that, if he still wants
to come to New York and has figur-
ed out how to pay his living expenses
here-he might make the grade.
Chatting with Bill Ryder who was
technical adviser on the movie,
parachute Battalion" l was en-
couraged by the way he spoke of
our growing corps Of parachute
troops. AS a result Of his prowess in
training these troops, Bill was select
ed to supervise the motion picture
about their lives. He spent some en-
joyable weeks in Hollywood, he said,
and talked to me Of our mutual &C.
quaintance, Robert Preston, star Of
the picture. l met Preston once when
l was visiting the city Of films and
was impressed by his u~nassuming
friendliness. It was on the set Of the
picture, Union Pacific" which Cecil
B. DeMille was directing and as
sat in Preston's dressing room,
learned that he was just beginning
in pictures and that DeMille had
started him off. Since then, he
has really gone places. Bill Ryder
also told me Of a man in California
/ who has been trying for many years
to get the government interested in
an invention Of his. It provides for
parachutes to be attached to the
aeats in all passenger planes 50
that in case the engines fail and a
crash is expected, the pilot simply
pulls a lever and all the passengers
automatically drop out Of the plane,
but each with parachute attached
sailing safely to earth-that is If
it works.
The circus is in town again and
New Workers are turning out to see
it like small town folks. The other
day, a question arose with the clowns
as to whether the people in this city
are harder to make laugh than those
of smaller places. Of course, the
clowns differ in their opinion. But
it seems 10 me that these Gotha-
mites have a different sense of
humcr from any other group of peo-
pie anywhere; For instance, though
local people gaffaw over the comics
in the New Yorker Magazine. !
rarely think these are funny. And
on the other hand, when ! first
came to this town and told some Of
the favorite jokes l had heard a.
round newspaper offices down
South, l was often left cold with
out a laugh by some Of these hard
humored metropolites. / am con-
WINGED that senses of hunor differ
with localities-but suppose that is
something for the clowns to worry
about. It strikes me that you and
I should get 8 good laugh wherever

Yorktown. Richman was an
nouncer for the bouts, his 58th
such appearance since Pearl Har-
Dor.
The card opened with Boree
meeting Dugan in three-round-
err and the heavily-fa favored SOL
der had more trouble than antici-
pated but managed to score a
knockout in the final setto with
hard right to Dugan's midsec-
ton. Boree had a wide edge up
to that time but the air station
lad proved he could take plenty
of punishment.
The second match sent CoSden
against Marine Walter Clewis OF
/ Miami. The Marine had slight
edge in the first frame, Cosden
going down for no count, but the
local lad rallied in the second to
stagger Clewis with terrific body
punching. The third was fatal
for the Key Wester, however,
when the Miamian opened bad
cut over his right eye. The bout
was stopped with a TKO for
CleWis.
The long-awaited return match
of Len Fielding and Steve Earn
err went the full distance of four
settos and was close and exciting
all the way with Garner gaining
well-deserved nod. The first
round was about even with Earn
err taking shade, if any.
Fielding hit his stride in the Sec

ton of women at work.
Katherine F. Lenroot, chief OF
the children's bureau of the De-
partment of Labor, predicts f.
100000 million women will be
working in war industries by the
end of this year-and if the draft
should call married men with
children before the war has end
ed, demands for women war
wokers would reach many mil
lions more.
But the trend isn't new.
Since the middle of the last
century, when women began
working outside their homes.

has risen sharply and constantly

and depression alike. In 1880,
the Census Bureau listed 2s
million as gainful workers. BY
1910 the number had risen to
above 8 million. BY 1910 it had
gone up another 3 million.
The Unemployment Census
of 1890, taken when the de-
preston was already under way,
showed that while 5.4 per cent
of men able and willing to
work were unable to find it,
only "a per. cent of the women
were in the same predieament.

All the older baseball fans of
Key West will remember Larney

While still young man, only
80 years of age, Stickney retir-

great player and his absence was
missed by teammates and oppon-

Larney hit well, ran fast and
fielded like ball hawk. He was
fearless on the field. Fans re-

lust the same as less harder hit
