DAILY SHORT STO! BIG BRUTE By Iverne Golloway. PAT GALLA- GHER rocked the punching bag with murderous left jabs and wished it was Ed- die Jessup. Eddie was the mud in Pat's coffee, the grit in his spinach, the hole in his vock. Not only that— because of Eddie Jessup, Pat hadn’t been able to date Busan for five days. What she could see in that baboon— Pat delivered & whirlwind of blows et the punching bag. A chattering cou- ple swept into the gymnasium, wafted along in a large cloud of ‘sweetness and light. A woman? What was she doing in the athletic club? Of course, visitors' day. Pat blinked. It wasn't just any woman. It was Susan, and with Eddie, of course. Pat turned away from the disturb- ing spectacle of Eddie smiling at Susan. Something really ought to be done about Eddie’s smile—a couple of teeth knocked out, or something. “It won't take a minute to change,” Eddie was saying. “Yowll not mind ‘waiting?” Change? What for? Was Eddie going to show off? Pat grunted. Wham! The punching bag took one on the kisser. “Hello, Pat.” A silvery voice broke into his reverie. Pat felt himself turning brick red. “Hello, Susan,” he muttered weakly. “What do you think of the place?” | bag “Oh, it's marvelous! Are those the bars Eddie told me about?” “Oh, them?” Pat snorted. huh” «“QUh- * k X % “DO SOMETHING on them, won't you? A hand-stand, or—" “Well,” Pat cleared his throat. “Boxing’s my dish. Those gadgets seem kind of—" “But boxing—isn’t that awfuly bru- tal?” Susan’s eyelashes flicked up- ward. Eddie came bounding in from the lockers. “Come on, Susan.” Pat scowled at the punching bag and punched it brutally. Slowly an idea sprang into his mind. Could he persuade Eddie to put on the gloves? Susan wasn’t engaged to Ed- die—yet—and if he looked foolish enough in front of her, he wouldn't be, ever. chance to smack Eddie down; and the way Pat felt now he'd cheerfully swap his chances of eternal salva- tion for one hearty sock at that collar- ad pan. £ Craftily, Pat jogged around the room and came to a stop beside Susan and Eddie. “Jessup,” he began, abruptly, “how’s for putting on the gloves with me for & round or two?” “Sorry,” Eddie evaded, “but we're going. Just. as soon as I show Susan—" Pat summoned his most superior sneer. “Afraid of letting her see you get mussed up?” Eddie’s eyes narrowed. “Trying to get my goat? I haven't boxed since I was in school, but bring on those Susan wailed. “Be “Don't worry,” he assured her. “This guy's asking for it, and he's going to get it.” Eddie and Pat headed for the ring, trailed by Susan.

Besides, that would be af, ., ing the pending strife, gladly dis- carded the medi- cine ball and acur- ried over to the ringside. As one of them laced on his gloves, Pat studied Eddie. He stacked up pretty well Wide, sloping shoulders and mus- cles that made long ridges instead of lumps. If he knew anything about boxing he’d be no pushover. But that face! s e o AT shuffied his feet on the rosined canvas and pranced forward to meet his victim. They sparred in the center of the ring. Experimen- tally, Pat rocked Eddie back on his heels with a whistling left uppercut. It was easier than he had expected. A squeal distracted Pat. He glanced cautiously toward it. Susau, outside the ropes, eyes wide with horror. How would she like to see him knock Eddie loose from his eye- brows? Pat was suddenly, sicken- ingly positive she wouldn't like it at all. She would be likely to bind up !ddiel wounds with her best lace dkerchief. As for Pat—Susan would think he was a big brute. He kept Eddie off with long but gentle drives while he pondered. Like & fool, he had failed to consider how Susan would react to the beating-up and how she would feel about the heartless roughneck who slipped over the dream pill. The win was in the for Pat whenever he felt like it. Eddie telegraphed his punches end his foot work was bad. That face. One good healthy sock? Sadly, Pat realized that he musn't allow himself even one. “You'’re not going to let him lick you?” Pat Gallegher protested to Pat Gallegher. “Of oourse. And then Susan will think he's & big brute, and she'll feel sorry for you, and life will be rosy. That’s psychology. It isn't as though you couldn’t lick him if you wanted,” his common sense assured him. * % k% R!:LUC!‘ANTLY, he lowered his guard, but Eddie was too busy covering up to take advantage of it. Why didn't the sap hit him? Pat back - pedaled. Automatically, Eddie followed, lashing out an occasional fist. Maybe, if he made him mad Pat aimed a left hook at the jaw, but Eddie turned suddenly and the blow landed on his nose, which immediately gushed crimson. An- other horrified scream from ringside. Eddie could hardly last much long- er. He was winded, his eyes looked daged. Pat thrust out his jaw to meet & wavering tap from Eddie's right. It would hardly have dented & cream puff, but Pat blinked, stum- bled and collapsed, eyes shut but ears open. Susan. . . . In half a mnmznt she would be beside him, pillowing his head on her lap. Pat opened one eye, just a little. Why, she wasn't coming to him. She had stopped by Eddie! She was look- ing up at him adoringly and mopping the blood from his triumphant face with her best lace handkerchief. “Oh, Eddie, darling, I thought I'd faint. Aren’t you strong? I never real- ized, but when I saw you beating him up, chasing him all over the ring, knocking him down, I was so thrilled! It's funny how we women go for you big brutes!” (Copyright, 1937.)

ANTI-SEMITIC BOOK HELD NOT BY FORD Steps to Suppress Misrepresenta- tion, Says Group Headed by Untermyer. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Janua~y 7.—The Non- sectarian Anti-Nazi League to Cham- plon Human Rights announced last night receipt by its president, Samuel Untermyer, of a letter authorized by Henry Ford saying steps would be taken to “prevent the continued mis- use of Mr. Ford’s name” on an anti- Semitic book, “The International Jew.” Albert Untermyer previously had stated the book, as printed in Germany, dis- played Ford’s name as the author, and had asked “an unqualified disavowal or any knowledge or authority” on the motor manufacturer’s part of the | Eu book’s sale. Yesterday’s answering letter, signed by E. G. Liebold, general secretary for Ford, said in part, as made public by the league: “Referring to your telegrams of De- cember 16 and 21 to Mr. Henry Ford, and acknowledged by letter on the 22d instant: “The book, ‘Der Internationale Jude,” has been received and the writer has been instructed to inform you that it erroneously refers to Mr. Ford as its author. *“I am further directed to advise that this publication contains material which was neither collected, compiled with its authorship without misrepre- sentation of the facts. “Accordingly, steps will be taken to prevent the continued misuse of Mr. Ford's name in this manner.” Marriage Licenses 28, Norfolk. and !!

WOULD EXCLUDE ALIENS|RULING UPSETS TAX ON JIG-SAW PUZZLES U. 8. Government to Lose Size- able Revenues if Appeal Decision Stands. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, January 7.—In a far- reaching decision the United States Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unani- mously late yesterday that a jig-saw puzzle is a game and not a sport, and therefore not taxable. In its decision the court overturned & lower court ruling which found that Jig-saw puzzle was a sport and there- fore subject to the same taxes as other sports goods. sppeal of Philip J. Aronson, trustee in bankruptcy of the Viking Manu- facturing Co., Inc., from the collec- tion of $50,000 in taxes imposed une der the revenue act of 1932 on jig- saw puzzles it made. ‘To arrive at its decision the court considered a dictionary and quoted the definition of a jig-saw puzzle. The definition reads: “Something which perplexes or embarrasses, a difficult problem or question, hence a toy, contrivance, question or problem de- signed for testing ingenuity.” Officials, who declined to be quoted, said the decision would upset collec- tion of large amounts of taxes on jig- saw puzzles.
