knock you, got their own rackets
and ways of making a living, but
all you know is managing a fighter,
even if he is going crazy from
taking it.
| could keep on goin' for pages
about fight managers and fighters,
but why bother you with all that.
e. There are that kinda people and
it seems that nothing will ever
change 'em.
According to one Of the New
York papers, IL boxers died this
year as result Of injuries received
in the ring. This is an all-time
high. What's the reason?
According to Nat Fleischer, editor
of the Ring Magazine, the stagger-
ing number Of fatalities can be laid
right on the doorstep of the vari-
Gus boxing commissions which
govern the sport in this country.
.. Nat, making a survey, checked
over the records Of some 5000 box
ers. &. He found some men fight
ing as many as four times a week.
Many of them under aliases.
. He also found one boxer who
had a record of 10 defeats in 10
starts this year. The same
fighter had a mark Of nine losses in
nine outings and 13 defeats in 10
starts in 1914.
Such a man should not be al
lowed to fight in any state. But
he continues to do so. When
are boxing commissions going to
wake up? OF course, the above
paragraph is the doings Of New
York. But it has and it is hap
pening in this STATE also. .
II the commission wants some
names, we can furnish them.
This actually happened the other
day: A hamateur fight manager
was listening to a playback record
ing Of himself giving instructions
to his fighter and said: Il don't
understand myself. Now l can
understand why my fighters don't
understand me" BUT DON'T
GET Me WRONG-I LOVE THE
BOXING GAME.

Employment In
Arizona Remains
Almost Unchanged

Employment in Arizona remained
almost unchanged through February
as indicated by the total Of workers
employed in 1,434 representative in
dustrial establishments, according to
a report by the Arizona State En-
ployment Service.
Unemployment dropped slightly in
February from an estimated 15,245
at the end of January to 14,259 at
the end of February. Decreasing in
migration of workers during Febru-
ary was responsible for much of the
decline in unemployment during the
period.
Although the total of 1854 place
|ments made in February by the IS
local Employment Service offices
over the state was slightly less than
the 2,843 made in January, yet when
it is considered that February was a
short month and that it had three
holidays, the average of placements
per working day was favorable rath-
er than otherwise.
At the Nogales office, according to
John Russell, manager, Al place
ments were made in February and
So in January. Of such placements
II were those of veterans. At the
end of February there were lit ap-
plications on file as compared with
348 at the end of January. In Feb
ruary 80 new applications were filed
as compared with "a filed in Janu-
ary. Reception contacts, or calls at
the local office, numbered 1,045 in
February and 1927 in January.

Gov. Osborn's Health Matter OF
Concern To 18th Arizona Legislature

PHOENIX, Mar. 20-Gov. Sidney
lP. Osborn's worsening health, due
to an atrophy, has become a matter
of concern to the 18th Arizona Leg
islature which has taken steps to
supply added funds to the secretary
| of state in event of an emergency.
He is now being taken from his car
to his office daily in a collapsible
wheel chair.
Under the state constitution, the
duties Of the governorship devolve
upon the secretary of state if the
governor is incapacitated. The pres
ent secretary of state is Dan E.
Garvey.
In explanation of the inclusion in
the general appropriations bill OF a
So 500 appropriation for new auto
mobile for the secretary of state,
$500 for state travel and $3.50 for
out-of-state travel, Rep. A. R. Spikes
of Sochise, chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee, said:
"You people are all aware that
the governor is not in the best OF
health, and any day the secretary
of state may find it necessary to
take over the duties of the governor.
With this in mind we have made
these allowances"
Interviewed by newSmen, the gov
ernor said:
my doctor tells me that insofar
as my present trouble is concerned
have every reason to live to the
age of 80 or 80. Of course, one can
never tell what else may turn up.
"The people of Arizona, who elect
ed me, may be assured that will
not leave the office until my term
expires or until I am dead. like
my job and have no intention of
turning it over to anyone else. Be
sides, feel fine and have no reason
to be afraid for myself -
Later Representative Spikes took
the house floor again to say:
st want to correct an impression
may have left with you.
"a few minutes ago, in discussing
the secretary of states appropria-
ton, I may have left the impression
that our governor is stepping out.

always. that made her impervious
to the continued friction of her re-
lationship with Wade. The quar- :
rels and pickering between her
and her husband still went on.
But Val didn't care. And her aloof
detachment maddened Wade. She
vas like quicksilver, elusive, just
beyond his reach.
Even w h en- he preached again
the subject of a child, he couldn't
seem to reach her.
Val said merely, a little secret
smile on her lips, We'll see later
on, pet. After all, we've only been
married a few months"
Wade was SO pleased not to
have her refuse absolutely that he
took her into his arms and kissed
her. Their stormy quarrels were
still interspersed with thrilling
reconciliations. Nor had the
strength of Wade's physical at
traction lessened for Val. Some :
times it almost seemed to her that
she was two women, the Val who
was Wade's wife and the Val
whose feeling for Kelvin Blake she
still wasn't quite able to fully
fathom.
Did she love Kelvin? Over and
over Val asked herself that ques-
ton. Did she love him or was her
feeling for him a sort of echo OF
her old love for Rick? Sometimes,
in some dimlit cocktail lounge or
when dusk had softened the garish
light in his big untidy studio, it
almost seemed to Val that Kelvin
was Rick, so strong was the re-
semblance between them. Her
heart would be squeezed tight and
hard in her breast with that SINH
larity of expression, of smile .
And, if they were alone, she would
60 into Kevin's arms as willingly,
as ardently, as she used to go into
Kicks arms. She would give him
her lips and feel the quickening
beat of his heart and, closing her
eyes, would try to forget that it
wasn't Rick who held he r SO,
whose heart beat hard again with
love for her.
Then again. breaking free from
the curious spell that seemed at
times to hold her, Val would face
the fact that Kelvin was not Rick,
that he vas a living, breathing
individual in his own right and
that the course she was pursuing
was terribly unfair to him. He
still had no ilea she was married.
And Val went on in the deception,
putting off the thought of the fu-
ture living from day to day. She
told herself, when Kelvin finds
out about Wade and me, then I'll
decide what to do. I'll have to de-
eide then, I'll have to face things.
But not yet not yet )"
On a March night when Val
found herself at loose ends due to
Wade's Involvement in a poker
session at his club, she stopped in
Unexpectedly to see her mother
and sister.
Leda welcomed her warmly.
Darling. how nice! It's been
such a long time since I've e
you"
II know" Val tossed aside her
wraps, settling herself on the
divan and lighting the inevitable
cigarette. 1--WE been busy-you
know how it is? Where's Sherry?"
Shell be so sorry she missed
you" Leda went On to explain.
