Wrestling Gets
Needed Impetus
Through video

MILWAUKEE,, WIS.-To the Joy
of all true lovers of the dramatic
arts, wrestling is-once again-on
the road back.
With an assist from television,
the ancient pastime is kicking its
way out of the small clubs which
have encoffined it hereabouts for
several years and is heading for the
massive arenas, where the seats
extend back even beyond the smell
Of arnica and the cash registers
tinkle merrily.
In addition, the miraculous TV
has made it possible for a huge un-
seen audience to appreciate the en-
deavors from safe places, where it
runs no risk Of being struck by
stray fragments of wrestlers.
Come wrestling night, 1t is posi-
ble-in fact, almost inevitable-for
the mama, Willie, Hedwig. Franz
and Gustav, none Of whom know
the difference between a hammer
lock and a sack Of oats, to sit be-
fore the screen and enjoy the writh-
ings Of the athletes, many of whom.
it is whispered, don't know the diff
ference either.
Once Muscle Men
This, as wrestling goes, is prog
ress.
Back at the turn Of the century,
when silly people thought the atom
could not be split, wrestlers were
statuesque men of mighty muscle
and ponderous grips. They could,
and did, wrestle for five or six
hours without a fall.
AS an example of what went on
in those days, there was the match
between Hackenschmidt dhe Rus
sian Lion), the world champion,
and Frank Gotch, an American
athlete whose pet hold was to grab
his opponents foot painfully and
braid his toes.
The two met Apr. 8, 1903, and
pulled and tugged for As minutes
before either mar hit the floor.
Then Gotch was thrown to the can
vas, but bounced up before Hack
enschmidt could follow his advan-
tage. After an hour and As min
utes, the crowd started yelling for
more action. 1t was only after two
hours that Hackenschmidt, pant
ing and exhausted, announced he
had surrendered the title.
Cue from Hamlet
The exhibit was a little more
lively than looking at the Goethe
and Schiller monument. but not as
much fun as watching a woman
u for a streetcar.
1t is said that modern wrestling
got its start n foggy night when
a wrestling promoter wandered in
to a production Of Hamlet" think
ing it was a burlesque house. He
discovered to his amazement that
people paid good money to see the
thing, even though they knew the
actors had been rehearsed and had
a pretty fair idea Of how the duel
scene was coming out.

Man Gives Away S350,000
To Make Friends Happy

AURORA, ILL.-James Powell,
IA, a retired real estate and in
surance man, decided to make his
friends happy while he was still
alive. So, he dealt out $3.50, 900 to
them.
He tried to make the gifts, which
ranged from 500 to $50, 900 anony-
nous, urging that he be identified
only as ian unknown soldier march
ing away"
He requested that his name not
be made public because he did mot
want it to appear that l am doing
what I am doing to gain publicity
or glory"
But the gifts were too many to
too many persons for the secret to
be kept long. His name got out and
several of his beneficiaries con-
firmed it.
Powell turned over S25, 900 to
Mayor Lloyd H. Markell, asking that
the city start a fund for a municipal
auditorium. The money is to be
deposited with the city treasurer
for use when needed.
The sum of $50, 900 was given to
Superintendent K. D. Waldo of East
high school for a new building or an
annex or school equipment.
Gifts of $500 to $4,000 were given
to various individuals. He said
they were persons "who were kind
to me and my dear wife, Helen,
who has passed on. and my dear
sisters. also deceased"
Distant relatives were included
in these gifts. Their benefactor has
no immediate family.
The gift to the high school is to
be a memorial to his sisters, Grace
and Nina, and himself, all grad
yates of the school.

Natures Children
By LiIIion Cox Athey
Rattle Snake.

August is vacation month. This is
the time many inquiries come in re-
garding rattlesnakes. They are the
most deadly serpents we meet in the
open. True, they always sound their
siren, but they work so fast, it is
always best to be on guard.
RattlesnakeS, aside from dead
illness, are among the most in
teresting and beautiful serpentS.
Northern Mexico and the extreme
Southwestern part of the United
States appear to be the headquar-
ters of rattlesnakes. But rattlesnakes
inhabit the United States generally,
with the exception of the Southwest
there are few areas where more
than one species occurs.
The rattler has a sullen DISPOSE
tion and peppery temper. The
moment you step into his territory
in the open, he sounds his rattle.
Then he throws himself into grace
full, symmetrical coils, initiates his
body, arches his neck in an oblique
bow to support the heart-shaped
head, while the slowly waving
tongue with spread tremulous tips
moves necessarily and the monot-
onous rattle of the tail never stops.
The rattler is ready to strike. If
you back out of his presence, he
does not hesitate to drop his pose
and rush off into the grass, seeking
seclusion.
There is a persistent rumor that
you can tell the age Of the serpent
by counting his rattles. This Is not
true.
The baby rattler is born with a
soft black button on his tail. When
he hears his mother rattle her but
tons, he does the best he can but
does not make sound. Shortly
after his birth he sheds his birthday
skin, then he begins eating, if he
can find nest of small mice or a
frog. In about two months he sheds
another skin. This time he has a
ring or segment of the rattle which
has been developing under the old
skin When the segment becomes
dry he can get a faint buzz when
he tests his rattle The loosely at
UdSIlCd DubCOll ldDpAllS e6oAioN CA4S
dry segment produces the desired
noise. Older snakes loosen their
buttons and lose them. A rattle
with too many buttons would be
annoying. BY August the noise
makers are basking in the sun on
q ledge. BY autumn they know of
a deep crevice between rock in
which they can huddle close to-
gether for the winter. By the early
part of the following June, shedding
skin is in order, and another button
is acquired, this ring is the largest
one SO far and is in keeping with
the growing snake. At maturity,
growth of rings cease. The longest
rattle of record Is one of II
segnents.
When baby rattlers arrive they
are equipped with fangs and poison
glands. No matter how young, they
strike, after first throwing the coils
and arching their neck. They are
brightly colored and try to hiss. But
not buzz do they get from the soft
black button, though they do try.

Goren on Bridqe

The bridge table is perhaps one
of the last places in the world you
would expect to encounter the
phenomenon of an optical illusion,
but it does sometimes occur there,
and todays hand is offered as an
Illustration.
I think no serious quarrel will
be had with the bidding of this
rock crusher, though South's final
bid is somewhat on the aggressive
side, in view of his previously hav-
ing made a jump shift and fea-
ture bid in diamonds. North's two
diamond bid was made as a tenn
porary device and when it elected
a jump in hearts from South,
there could be no question about
the small slam, inasmuch as North
held better than an opening bid
himself. The four-club bid was
routine and, when South followed
up with the four diamond bid, I
think North could be excused for
going the whole way himself if he
chose to do so.
The opening lead was the Jack
of clubs and the ace was, of course,
played from dummy. Declarer i'm
mediately drew the trumps and
then proceeded with the spades in
the hope that that suit would
break. so that dummy would obtain
two diamond diScards. When this
failed to materialize, spade had
to be ruffed in the North hand, and
then everything rested with the
diamond finesse. When this failed,
declarer was sunk.
This hand did not depend on the
spade break and the diamond
finesse. In the absence of a freak
distribution, the contract was more
or less a cinch and I am sure
declarer would have made the hand
if he had been sitting in the North
