His first fight was in Brooklyn,
in 1913. They put him in the ring
with Eddie Martin, a veteran
of IA professional matches. He
gimme the worst beatin' ever
took in my life," Joe recalls. After
three bloody rounds, Joe was given
a purse of one dollar. As he stag
gered out of the auditorium, he
caught sight of an old woman sell
ing shoe laces. He gave her the
dollar, and then, since he had no
more money, he walked all the
way across the Brooklyn Bridge
to his home.
That was the first of 80 bouts.
Although subsequent engagements
netted him more than dollar
apiece, Joe never did take much
money home from his battles.
Trouble With the FBI
JOE served in the Navy in World
War l. During World War II
he got a job in a shipyard at
Kearney, N. ]. A few months
later, he made a painting of the
place, which the Barzanskys duly
placed in their gallery window.
Two days afterward. an FBI man
walked in and demanded that they
take it out. That's an exact copy
of the kearney shipyard," he said.
What if a spy sees it," Joe, of
course. had painted the yard from
memory.
Today, with his sight failing and
his hands beginning to tremble

wants a rest from painting for
while. He is an inventor, as we'll
as an artist, and hopes to get a
company to market a fire alarm he
recently patented.
And he might we'll turn his hand
to writing the story of his life. He's
been thinking about it a long time.

Since his mothers death, being
unmarried and lonely, Joe has
been spending more and more time
with the Barzanskys, who regard
him almost as a son. They exhib-
tied his work first in 1913, after
he had been discovered in the
open-air show in Washington
Square. There he sold some paint
ings for as little as SIS. Joe began
painting rather late in life, in 1887,
when he was a.. He had done some
drawings in 1929, however, and
his interest dates from childhood.

Joe relies on his memory. plus
an agile imagination, for all his
work. Perhaps his most amazing
canvas is one of the circus at
Madison Square Garden. Joe
visited the circus four times and
just used his eyes. He made no
preliminary sketches and no
roughs, but just returned to
his room and began painting.
The finished picture, on which he
worked at one point for a stretch
of 36 hours, measures about 80
by SO inches. In addition to wild
beasts, bareback riders, floats,
clowns and acrobats, it shows an
audience of $4,000 people - and
each person has a face!

A BOY

"After a male baby has grown
out of long clothes and triangles
and has acquired pants, ireckles
and so much dirt that relatives
do not dare to kiss it between
meals, it becomes a boy. A boy
is natures answer to that false
belief that there is no such
thing as perpetual motion. A
boy can swim like a fish, run
like a deer, climb like a squir-
rel, balk like a mule, below like
a bull, eat like a pig, or act like
a jackass, according to climatic
conditions.
"He is piece of skin stretched
over an appetite. A noise, COW
cred with smudges. He is called
a tornado because he comes at
the most unexpected places and
leaves everything. a wreck be-
hind him. He is a growing ami
NAL of superlative promise, to
be fed, watered and kept warm,
a joy forever, a periodic nui-
sance, the problem of our times,
the hope of a nation. Every boy
born is evidence that God is not
yet discouraged with man.
Were it not for boys, the
newspapers would 60 unread
and a thousand picture shows
would 60 bankrupt. Boys are
useful in running errands with.
the aid of five or six adults. The
zest with which a boy does an
errand is equalled only by the
speed of a turtle on a July day.
The boy is a natural spectator.
He watches parades, fires,
fights, ballgames, automobiles,
boats and airplanes with equal
fervor, but will not watch the
clock. The man who invents
a clock that will stand still on
its head and sing a song when
it strikes will win the undying
gratitude of millions of families
whose boys are forever coming
to dinner about supper time.
Boys faithfully initiate their
dads in spite of all efforts to
teach them good manners. A
boy, if not washed too often and
if kept in a cool, quiet place
after each accident, will survive
broken bones, hornets, swim
ming holes, fights and nine help
ings of pie"

INQUEST SCHEDULED
N DEATH OF TWO
COLUMBUS RESIDENTS

WHITEVILLE, Aug. II. Pre-
liminary investigation of the two
deaths involving the same train
failed to reveal any evidence OF
foul play, Sheriff H. D. Stanley
said this morning.
The usual check by officers SUBJ
stantiated the belief that Edmund
Anders, Bolton Negro, and Henry
W. Pope, Hallsboro white man,
fell asleep on or adjacent to the
railroad tracks and that no foul
play was involved.
County Coroner Hugh Nance will
conduct an inquest at the court
house here Friday evening at
o'clock.
Anders was fatally injured when
his head was struck by the pilot
step of the freight train between
Bolton and Wananish.
Two hours later, the body OF
Pope was found caught under
meath the train engine, apparently
having been picked up some dis
lance from Hallsboro. Pope was
lieved to have been sleeping be-
tween the track rails.
