card will draw the biggest house in
more than 10 years. Harry Hirsch,
who is in charge of the fight ducats
tells me that the house will go over
$4,000 and not to be surprised
that it may hit IL or Is thousand.
Now that is a lot of money, more
than Jackie Graves ever dreamed
of. 1t doesn't take long before
Eastern promoters, fight managers
and fighters will soon be willing to
come to our fair city to show off
their stuff. They are always inter-
ested in what the attraction draws.
Harry Jaffra, the former cham
pion, is in town and no one need
worry about him being in sound
physical condition. One of the chief
reasons he's been around these
many years is because he takes
good care of himself.
Maybe you're all wondering
what is to become of Charley Riley
or why he isn't on Tuesday nights
fight show and what not?
With the 4-F'ers getting war
work or fight" it makes it almost
impossible for the promoter to line
up a first rate attraction. Stecher
for the past two weeks, has been
trying his best to line up an OPP
ponent for Charley Riley, but to this
writing is almost ready to throw
in the sponge.
Take the following as a good pre-
dictiOn. After Jackie Graves is
taken under Uncle Sans wing,
Stecher will build up Riley as his
"ace" as he has done with Graves.
Stecher and Len Kelly both respect
Riley and there is no doubt in my
mind that the two were protecting
Graves all these months from
Riley
A couple of weeks ago in this
space we predicted that if and when
the two meet that Riley would beat
Graves with no ifs nor and's.
And now l suppose you all want
to know who is going to win be-
tween JafffR and Graves? E. Well,
let us put it this way.
One - Graves is a conner and
Jaffra has passed his peak. But
the question remains-how far past
is Jaffra from his best fighting
form?
Usually a champion Il mean exp
should know enough to coast along
and perhaps win the decision. He
should do that much. But then
again Graves fighting for all that
he is worth and before the largest
crowd to see a boxing show in many
years may fight an inspired fight.
So there you have it. 1t should
be a fight as the record books don't
show that Jaffra has done any
thing but fight a good fight at each
appearance.

her heart to one fellow, and he gave
her a tragic let-dOwn. Because of
that experience, she has become a
little hardened and wary of men.
Although she does love you, she
wants a husband and father for
her child, not just a passing rO-
nance. If you don't feel that you
are ready to settle down to her
terms, it would be fair to both of
you to make a clean break.
W. NJ. L.: have been here about three
months. l met a man the first day / ar
rived and l took very deep liking to
him. His friends talk against him to me
but he proves to be very nice He says he
loves me, but he lives with another wom-
an. I am planning to go home and he
doesn't want me to go. Do you think it
wise for me to stay?
Ans: The place for you, young lady. is
back home with your people. The man has
taken no steps whatsoever to prove his
sincerity. He already has a mate and evil
IDENTIFY doesn't choose to give her up &.
therefore, his friends are right in trying
to discourage your relations with him. A
girl your age should choose her friends
with extreme caution and only encourage
those who are free to carry on an open
friendship.
B. H: am a married man but l am
not living with my wife. l have a sweet
heart and care for her but she always
begs me for money and says she loves me
but speaks smart all of the time. She has
a husband and another friend. 1 know
them both. Should l let her go or keep
going with her?
Ans: You're paying an exOrbitant price
for the crumbs Of affection you're receiv-
ing when in reality you're only getting
the leaVings of these other two men.
Should you cut down on the money, she
would lose all affection for you Love that
you have to buy isn't worth having.

DR. PERRIN GUEST
 OF ACCOUNTANTS
Local Members Hear Lec- ure on CarteIs; New In-
 ternatiOnaI Setups

Dr. AlphonSe Perren addressed Hart ford Chapter, National Association of Cost Accountants last night on International Cartels and Costs. He examined the relative influences of competition and monopoly on prices and on costs. Enlarging on the subject, he emphasized the po- litical aspect of international car telS which he considers more im- portant than the economic aspects.
 Dr. Perren stated that the choice we must make is not between free competition and cartels but. rather, between free enterpris in it's present imperfect form and a state control led economy.
 U. The ill wind of Communism is blowing through the liberated countries of continental Europe. Tn France, De Gaulle has pledged his government to set up regime of planned economy; in Belgium and Italy, leftist groups are maneuvering to form CommuniStic Governments, and in Greece, the ELIAS are fight ing their British liberators."
 In England and the United States, one observes very marked so- ciallzing tendences which make one wonder whether there is not a mas ter plan behind the crusade Of the Antitrust Division and the att tempt to repeal the Webb Pomerene Act of IDEAS a prelude to perm anent Government CartelS."

ANYTHING Can Happen" by George and Helen Papeshvily Harper: S2.OO), is the discovery of America by Russian, and at the same time it is the discovery of a thoroughly nice guy by the reader. George. native of Georgia, the Transcaucasian Soviet republic once beSt-known to this country for it's princes. reached Ellis Island with an open mind and a skill for mak- ing daggerS and swords. In his story, told with tn eaid of his American born wife, the latter asset is quickly written eff, but the former proves invaluable.
 George, who has no English, gets job in garage his first day ashore. a dnthat miracle persuadeS him that anything can happen in America, when he loses that job shortly afterward, he is convinced oI it.
 In his innocence he goes to work as a scab in picketed factory. When it dawnS upon him why the wages are so high, why he is we'll fed and well -bedded inside the plant, and why a fellow worker daily burns tarpaper to make the chimneys smoke, he quits After re- covering from a beating by the strikers who could not read the note, written in his native tongue, pro- claiming his stand on the question, George joins the picketS.
 He is overcome with nostalgia for home, has not heard Georgian spoken for over @ year, and tries desperately to find compatriot. When he does it's man who some time since had gone to the point of advertising an offer of $l00o for anyone who could talk Georgian with him. George was delighted to talk, and for free.
 The migration to the coast from Detroit during the depression, with friends and mountains of house hold goods, the lunch-box enterprise George and Helen's wedding and the great, magnificent, unbelievable feast, and finally, the move to a farmhouse and its attendant house. warming praovide entertainment replete with humor and warmth Any stumbling in the PapaShvily English is natural in its charm.
