Middle Europe is soaked deep in young blood, and has been for 500 years. Apparently there is no such thing as mutual respect and understanding over there. They will waste life and waste money, but every country will continue to grab whatever she can when a war ends, and cling to that stolen property fiercely as long as she has a son left to Gre a gun. When this war ends won't someore over there draw a map and let us all help to make it a reality? If we had to buy one nation an island and give another oil lands and compensate a third with a billion or two in endless credit, it would be so cheap! Such a map, respected for a span of 20 or 30 years, would come to be a fixture, just as our states' boundaries are. Our 70 different races and _ nationalities have learned to live in peace. We are not eternally surging over each others' borders to steal and destroy. To be sure we have a central government, but so might Europe have. We send representatives to Washington, and she might have her Washington, too, and her international houses of parliament. There is nothing fantastic or unrealizable in this idea. Hate destroys, but love builds. In all affection I wish we could begin now to construct the new United States across the seas. It could soon grow to such strength that no one nation could break it. And when that happy day came we could begin to disarm, and enter upon an existence free from fear. An existence not very far from that Kingdom for which we daily pray. Otherwise, Europe confesses to the world her inability to manage her own affairs. The strongest nations are not strong enough and must cry out for help. The wisest nations are not wise enough to duce men who can formulate a whereby this deplorable waste agony can be averted.

The Harry Thomas fixed fight case still remains on the books to haunt boxing commissioners and prizefight for my Maybe there isn't any real danger zone. But football is too great a game, it affects directly too many American kids, including the high schools, to move along unguarded. The Tus count goes into the millions. One answer may be the different conferences. As it is now the Ivy league has gone into a covey of its own. It rarely leaves the fold. Try to slip some outsider into an Ivy league contest. The Big Ten has done about the same, outside of playing Notre Dame, and members of the Big Six. As one of the Ivy league coaches told me, ‘‘We have Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Columbia, Brown, Army and Navy. Syracuse and Colgate are O. K. Who else do we need? We can't play everybody."' The Pacific conference and the Southwest are hanging together. They play most of their games among themselves. In spite of all this, I have found a strong feeling of distrust: when it comes to the matter of proselyting and taking care of star players. In the last few weeks I've covered several thousands of square miles through hot football territory. Today almost all territory is football hot. I've heard over 40 stories of high school stars offered board, lodging, scholarships, and a fairly substantial wage. I know part of this is bunk. I also know part of it is true. Almost every high school kid likes to boast of the offers he has had. Most of them are baloney. But not all of them. A kid likes to brag. I asked one veteran athletic director just how much money he figured colleges were putting out or giving away for football talent, one Events moved rapidly now. A stooge named Marinus van der Lubbe (huddled, above) was charged with the "Communist inspired' Reichstag fire February 27, 1933, after which all freedom of speech and press was suspended. The next month Hitler got 288 Reichstag seats in the ‘‘election." In quick succession came the Jewish boycott, outlaw of labor unfons, concentration camps and church persecution. His power secured through these moves, Hitler next ‘‘purged'' his ranks of "traitors." On June 30, 1934, the world was startled when Capt. Ernest Roehm, once a closer Hitler associate, and anywhere from 77 to several hundred other Nazis were shot. Next Hitler turned to foreign affairs. In January, 1935, having resigned from the League of Nations, he called the Saar plebiscite. to meet the Memory Lingers Boxing promoters have helped themselves into their present predicament. They have arranged and built up matches which were merely second rate exhibitions. In March, 1936, he marched troops into the Rhineland. Then came the construction of an anti-Commitern foreign pact with Italy, whose Il Duce Benito Mussolini (shown above with Hitler) seemed to have ideas closely paralleling those of Der Fuehrer. Soon Japan joined the anti-Commitern pact, and Hitler felt secure. So much, in fact, that in suddenly took possession of Austria and thus began the of territorial seizure that led to war last September. March, 1938, he violent program competition. Their funds range from $8,000 a year to $20,000 a year. My guess would be around $1,000,000. This isn't sc much when you figure 40,000,000 peo- ple look at football football is game easily for all main a_ fall-that billion-dollar planes, fault goes tickets back and to the colleges and the universities. The directing people are the ones who have turned football into a billion- dollar industry. They are the ones who have stood back of all the bowls and stadia. They are the responsible people. It is something bordering on a crime to start blaming the coaches. "Pll give you one answer that will help some," a prominent:-athletic director said. ‘‘Pass a rule that no team live can over play 300 over two miles away men who from the university they play for. Don't think we get fooled when we see teams with eight or ten players on the squad who come from 800 to 1,500 miles away. And there are plenty of these.'' I still think the main answer has to be on the scholastic or scholarship side. This is where the final segregating will take place. Who run our colleges sities? Presidents One Title Rule er boards One by one great men called on him, trying to make peace. Britain's Prime Minister Chamberlain, above, made three trips climaxing in the Munich agreement under which Sudetenland went to Germany. But still the appetite grew. In March, 1939, Germany seized Czecho-Slovakia; a week later, Memel. Hitler was getting closer and closer to the Russian juggernaut, and it was inevitable that they should meet. They did, signing a-treaty on August 23, 1939. Seven days later Hitler's armies invaded Poland for the lightning war in which Russia joined a couple of weeks later. In 30 days Poland was no more, but meanwhile France and Britain, Poland's allies, had declared war against the Nazis. Thus is Hitlerism | brought up to date; where will it go from here?

The other way is to avoid having it by getting at its cause. So why not save yourself those dull headachy days, plus the inevitable trips to the medicine chest, if you can do it by a simple common-sense "ounce of prevention"? If your trouble, like that of millions, is due to lack of "bulk" in the diet, "the better way" is to eat Kellogg's All-Bran. This crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat cereal has just the "bulk" you need. If you eat it regularly-and drink plenty of water-you can not only get regular but keep regular, day after day and month after month! All-Bran is made by Kellogg's in Battle Creek.

Promoters should, and sooner or later must, realize that their customers know a great deal about the game. Even the less ring-wise can recognize a poorly matched fight. Edward C.

However, he is heart- ' ily endorsed in his statement that at least one beneficial step has been taken. The two-title and three-title champions have been eliminated for good. It will be remembered that Hammerin' Henry Armstrong, during 1939, held three titles at one time. He was featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight champion of the world. He relinquished his featherweight title, lost his lightweight title to Lou Ambers, and retains his welterweight championship. concerned-colleges, hotels, railroads, so on.'' The each GALENTO Instead, a dark brown memory lingers in the minds of those interested in the sport. The investigation has been kicked around so long that it's little more than a joke. Details of the scandal are largely forgotten, but the subconscious memory of another rotten deal lives on. way or another. ‘"‘There are only about 100 colleges or universities,'' he said, ‘‘which can afford TONY Officials.
