Washed-up Boxer
Big Film Star
The crowd roared as the two
muscled giants slammed at
each other under the fierce
lights, unleashing murderous
lefts and rights, wincing and
grunting as they shuffled and
weaved, then locked their huge
arms around each other in a
mauling brawling clinch.
Suddenly one of them smash
ed home a blow that sent the
other sprawling, shaking the
ring as his heavy body crash
ed to the canvas — out cold.
The man who stood over
h1m, battered but triumphant
as the referee raised his right
arm high, was ['rank Goddard.
Four years later, in 1923, he be-
came British heavyweight
champion. The loser was Victor
McLaglen, fatuous today as the
star of over a hundred films.
Years later, long after God
lard bad lost his heavyweight
crown, he was almost down and
out when he decided to try his
luck on the screen. fie went to
Hollywood and met once again
the man whose boxing hopes he
had dashed in that epic 1919
bout. Ansi it was Victor Mc-
Laglen — then well established
in the film world — who was
responsible for getting him sev-
eral small roles.
If Hollywood ever runs out
of plots it can always film the
life -story of veteran tough-vy
actor Victor McLaglen. In his.
sixty-nine years, as well as be-
ing fighter and wrestler, he's
been soldier (he cheated
about
his age and joined the ,Life
Guards at fourteen), farmer,
go
ld prospector, eetoY
miner, Pearl
fisher, policeman — and still
round time to make that cen-
tury of films.
One of his most memorable
roles was as Captain Flagg in
"What Price Glory." He scored
A big success in an early "Beau
Geste." And in 1935 won an
Academy Aar m -
Award for his erg
raificent acting in "The Inform -
I,."
In his to
i latest film RKO Ra-
dio's SuperScope adyenture
drama, "Bengazi," he's out of
uniform for a change. But at

least he's surrounded by miles
of sand for most of the time —
a familiar setting for him.

perb y
muscled (he takes size thirteen
in shoes), he joined
a circus as
a fighter in has teens takinging on
all comers. He once. went Six
rounds against world champion
Jack Johnson. "The greatest
boxer I ever saw," McLaglen
says.
When success came after he
had gone to Hollywood (he was
born at Tunbridge Wells,
Kent), he built himself a castle
near the film city, with deer
and kangaroo in the grounds, a
show ring, a marble gymnasi-
um, and a stadium to hold 10,-
000 people, who used to pack it
to watch his private army
the Victor McLaglen Light
Horse and Motorcycle Corps —
in action.
As their colonel -in -chief, re-
splendent in his navy blue uni-
form, with silver chains on his
shoulders, Victor led them, some
500 strong, on Hollywood par -
tides.
BUBBLE FISH
Fish called Labyrinth Bubble -

Farmer Nuns
Raise Goats
Almost everyone is acquaint-
ed with cows called "Betsy"
and "Clara," but in the moun-
tains north of Montreal are
some goats with far more im-
aginative names.
"Cascade," "Blanchette" and
"Nougatine" are members of a
herd carefully tended by a
young woman who wears a blue
,eotton apron over the habit of
a nun. The cloistered sisters of
the Benedictine priory at Mont
Laurier Quebec, make goat -
raising a profitable enterprise.
The milk is rich and provides
good butter and cream. Light,
digestible cheese is being made
on an experimental basis, The
Benedictine order is already
famous for chocolate - making
and some day these cloistered
sisters hope to develop a new
chocolate made with the milk
from their goats. Quite apart
from milk; the meat from
young kids is delicate and the
resourceful nuns hope to be
able to tan kidskin,
Behind the main building of
the priory at Mont Laurier is
land running back to a river-
bank. There, this progressive
group of w o m e n turn from
their prayers to operate a high-
ly efficient farm. They keep
about 500 hens, grow fruits and
vegetables — and raise goats.
The priory's meticulously -
clean goathouse has stalls for
25 milking goats. In a corner,
a wooden platform equipped
with a neck -yoke is where
"Nougatine" and her sisters
take turns munching from a
pail of oats while being milked.
On the wall hangs a chart re-
cording the milk given by each
member of the herd, for these
nuns are business -like farmers.
Along the river bank is the
goat pasture. The grass is thick
and the land rich, but not be-
cause nature made it that way.
These farmers in blue aprons
are completely up-to-date on
agricultural methods. Their al-
kaline soil last fall was treat-
ed with limestone and this
spring will be enriched by
growing clover and alalia.
Their pasture flourishes with
the help of modern chemical
fertilizers, scientifically applied
to Meet the needs of the sell.
After these lucky goats have
grazed their fill, their thrifty
keepers protect the grass by
driving the herd into a 'loung-
ing area" where "Cascade,"
"Blanchette" and the others
take their ease, nibbling on
straw and making milk. At sun-
down, the goats with the quaint
names quietly obey the ,young
nun's call and file into the goat:
house with its whitewashed
stalls.
Fruits and vegetables grown
on the priory farm are care-
fully chosen for their food
value. A special variety of
black raspberry is cultivated
because it is high in vitamins,
The henhouse is a model of ef-
ficiency. It is not so surpris
ing then, to see these secluded
fields being plowed with a
shiny new tractor, confidently
driven by a nun in billow skirts

I, It's Do -it -Yourself
Jewellery Now
The "do-it-yourself" craze is
blossoming into the jewellery
field for spring.
An imaginative designer has
made beads of polythene — the
waxy plastic commonly found
in kitchenware — and on each
bead he has moulded a little
knob which fits into every other
bead. They can be popped to-
gether without the use of string
to create a fascinating range of
necklace and bracelet styles.
The first polythene beads on
the market relied on the pastel
glow of the plastic itself for
beauty, but new pearl -like coat-
ings have now made their ap-
pearance in sparkling colors,
all the way from bright coral
through pastel pinks and blues
to chalk white.
This adaptable new necklet
is bought by the length — about
a yard for a dollar — and has
no clasp. The beads are easily
snapped together, stay in place
firmly and just as quickly can
be taken apart to serve the
whim' of the. moment. The wo-
man with a fashion flair can
combine colors in her own de-
signs, make her necklace long-
er or shorter, double it ftp as
a choker or turn it into a
bracelet — all at the pop of a
bead!
