of a hotel window, and many pc

Some of the things Americans
lose are strange and wonderful.
Skeletons and Eyes
A cop patroling Staten Is
stumbled over what turned out
to be human, female skeleton,
prepared for medical school
Istudy. A patron of a hotel bar
left behind him a small box con-
tanning a glass eye and Purple
Heart decoration. A spectator of
an ice hockey game went off
leaving a cigar box containing
three fresh-laid eggs.
Hotels find all manner of per-
sonal belongings in the rooms OF
departed guests, from razors to
evening clothes. The Waldorf-As-
toria, however, has a stern rule
, that it will not store any live
stock larger than goldfish or
small turtles, whose owners fire.

One vague patron once left her

of the prinicial staircases. She
came back for it three days later
Patrons of motion picture the
aters are great little article-drop-
pers too. Whenever there's a
weepy film shown at Manhattan's
Radio City Music Hall, the daily
number of mislaid, tear-soaked
handkerchief rises into the hun
dreds. During school holidays the
normal quota of hats, scarves and
gloves increases sharply. Most
people lose things when they
change seats.

articles lost among the specta-

And the quantity goes up in di-
rect proportion to- the excite
ment of the event.
When there's huge pile OF
children's hats, scarves, gloves
and mittens, it's certainly either
the circus or the rodeo. A bask-
etball, hockey or boxing event
always produces an over-abund'

THE GOOD OLD MERCHANT
MARINE

According to tradition, there
were ships that pass in the night"
Now our clairvoyant Maritime
Commission has the American shin
ping industry sewed up tight. The
Commission has possession of the
largest merchant fleet on earth
and if that Commission is doing
anything to restore the power of
American shipping, it would be in
teresting to learn some reason whv
there is so much discussion about
feature articles in magazines to
the effect that large portions of the
American fleet are being sacrificed
to aid our Allies in rebuilding
their fleets and pre-war tonnage.
Statements that seem to have semi
official blessings, Indicate that
there have been sore spots in in
ternational relations concerning
shipping throughout the World.
There is an organization in
Washington known as the National
Federation of American Shipping.
from whom l have a statement
saying that there has been no new
development'-which seems to in
dictate that American shipping for
some absolutely bad reason is still

of the oldest kind of transportation

Laomi Byrd would end up running
training camp for fighters.
She had majOred in home econo-
mics and chemistry and came out oI
school to take a position with the
New York state department OF NY
giene. Boxing hadn't even been one
of her favOrite sports but after two
years of watching such fighters as
Bob Montgomery go through thelr
PAGES, Miss Byrd can tell you a iot
about the game.
Miss Byrd says she got into the
business chiefly through a chal-
lenge.
"A friend of mine owned a gym
nasium in ChicagO's loop and
visited it several times. l cOuldn
see how a fighter could condition
himself in such an ill-lighted, bad
ly ventilated place and told him SO
His reply was Why don't you try
running your own gym"
The opportunity came when hel
father died two years ago. Today
in this quiet southern New Jersey
community not far from AtlantlC
City, she has a we'll constructed
outdoor ring, a small but adequate
ly equipped gymnasium, outdoor
basketball court, indoor recreation
al facilities and on the books are
construction of tennis and handpal
courts.
Montgomery trains at the CAM
and naturally is No. l among th'
professionals. But Miss Byrds raw
Orites are amateurs.
She has organized a club OF De
tween 20 and 80, the first suci
group in this section. None of then
have turned pro as yet but she i
hopeful that out Of the group or tn
/ future ones will come a top notcl
| pro fighter.
