other things, this should be an- other contest pitting boxer against Slugger. Hunter favors long range fighting as opposed to the in-fight- Ing choice of Looke, and each is well l-schooled in his chosen style. Hunter, dangerous at measuring range, will show his wares against Looke, who is likewise command ing of respect when operating in close quarters
 The only heat which will defin- itely pit Coast Guard against Coast Guard. is that when Angelo Guinzy and Mike Canento, both from the Wachusett, face each other in the welter division. Car roll classes both boys as excep- tionally good and fast boxers, and .coks for great deal of action n this semi-final open event.
 Final bout of the evening will put two heavies in the ring. Jim Serrell at 192 pounds from the Wachusett will attempt to nullify a 33-pound weight advantage and take the nod from Jerry Coletti of Douglas who will walk through the ropes at 225 pounds. Training routines indicate that Serrell will attempt to get his big guns home by confusing his opponent with a shifting style, while Coletti, req sonably fast for his size, should try for bout honors with good left and right cross that should not be interfered with. And with the end of this fight the announcer should be hoarse and the time keeper thoroughly disgusted with the sound of bells.

LOVES PER|LOUS PATH
Dicky Asks Junior Why Roderick Never Writes Home
For Money and Receives An Embarrassing Reply

SYNOPSIS: In his Hotel Lansfcld suite.
Dicky Graham laughs ndulgently with his
son, Junior. concerning the latters written
requests for money while at preparatory
school. IN let you in on secret" he says.
IF boy doesn't run the thing into the
ground, every dad swells up with sinful
pride when he gets screed like that, and
nine times, out OF ten shows it around To
his particular friends"
1T took really heroic struggle
on my part to keep silent while
Dicky was reassuring our son about
his correspondence with us. l felt
strongly that he was making two
grave mistakes. He was distinctly
encouraging Junior to send home
for extra money outside his liberal
though not extravagant-allow-
ance, by telling of his own letters
home, and, on the other hand he was
letting the boy know that he was
showing the requests for money to
his friends.
Radiant Face
But, when / looked at Juniors
radiant face as his father finished
talking, / realized, not for the first
time, that an understanding father
i mentally emphasized the adj
jective-knows far more of boys
mental quirks than does the most
sapient mother.
Gee, Dad!" Junior exclaimed,
and the look in his eyes held some
thing in it of an adoring puppy
which has received caress instead
of cuff, "you sure are one brick.
| was feeling like nine kinds of
heel when you started talking. Now,
Pm sitting on top of the world. And
I'll be more careful about the money
ones"
"You needn't be-" Dicky told him,
ruffling his hair affectionately. "You
really have been very conservative
and | know | can trust you not to
send for the money unless you really
need it. If couldn't, wouldn't send
you the extra cash. Wanna bet |
don't know why you've needed it?"
Amusement flashed into our sons
eyes.
"I'd never bet against you on ar.
thing, Dad" Junior said. "You're
too keen. But-you can't know"
Affectionate Grin
Dicky grinned affectionately at
him.
"You forget that I've been away
at school, too" he said, although
you are entitled to wonder how |
can remember anything SO long ago.
But imagine that the boys of every
generation never change. There are
always the 'havers' and the 'giyers',
the ones who always need money
and borrow it from their generous
and more provident friends. There
were four in my school who sponged
on me regularly. No. I'll take that
back. Only one was sponger The
others always paid back when their
allowances came in. Then"--his lips

Conditioning the Hair, Scalp

Home care will take only fifteen
or twenty minutes. Have a brush
with firm, heavy bristIes, groom the
hair strand by strand. Apply a lu-
bricant-m mineral oil will serve at a
pinch-then do plenty of scalp
mauling.
Extra Shampoo
Let the oil remain on over night.
You'll have to give yourself an extra
thorough shampoo next morning.
Begin with a rinsing with hot water
and bath spray. If you use melted
soap. don't stop at one application.
Fluff up rich foam, rub like every
thing, use the spray again. Then
repeat the performance.
If the hair is inclined to be oily a
vinegar rinse is help. Add two or
three tablespoonfuls of vinegar to a
bowlful of water, dunk your head
in it, lifting the hair so that the
water is we'll distributed.
If hair is dry and ends are split,
use little cream dressing. Pour a
little on palm of hand, smooth on
hair and then brush.
