A young member elf our fam-
ily has something of a craze for
collecting books and magazines
about sport — which is Okay
with us, seeing that he pays for
them himself. But we are rather
amazed at the continuous flow
of such literaehoor which pours
from the presses of various pub-
lishers.
Of course much of the -ma-
terial contained in such books—
we are not referring to sports
fiction -- is by no means new;
in fact some of the tales, such
as the one about Babe Ruth's
"calling his shot" before park-
ing a homer in the Chicago
bleachers -- have been told so
often that we feel like scream-
ing when we sense it coming
up again. So the interest to be
found in such books, especially
those about baseball and boxing,
depends not on what is told, but
how the telling is done.
One book we can recommend,
although it is by no means new,
is Bill Stern's "Favorite Boxing
Stories." The eminent Mr. Stern
is not always strictly accurate,
it is said, as to his facts. His
judgments do not always coin-
cide with our own — which
doesn't mean that either of us is
right But what he has to de-
scribe he tells in a highly read-
able manner, and if you're look-
ing for a book to slip in the
pocket for when the fish aren't
biting, you can't do better.
AB of which, as you've prob-
ably guessed, is just a nice way
of getting around the fact that
we're about to purloin one of
Mr. Stern's stories. So — here
it is:
No bandit ever left a town
more completely looted than Jack
Kearns did when he was the
manager of the great champion,
Jack Dempsey. The town that
Kearns picked clean was a lit-
tle place called Shelby, in the
sovereign state of Montana.
It seems that a pretty good
Leavywegiht named Torn Gib-
bons was hot on the trail of the
then champinon of the world,
Jack Dempsey, Kearns was
smart enough to know that the
Modern Papoose—Latest in baby
fashions takes a tip from the
American Indian and lets junior
sit comfortably behind, freeing
mother's hands and acting as
a reducing agent as well. De-
signed by Lois Lignell, it's made
of stout denim.
fight, if arranged, would not am-
ount to much. Gibbons was a
fairly clever boxer but he was
far from being a match for the
fiery, hard -punching champion.
Still, business was business, If
any promoter felt sassy enough
to put on the match, Kearns was
willing to listen to reason, rea-
son meaning money. of course.
Enthusiasm among the entre-
preneurs was far from high, The
fight did not promise to draw
much at the gate, and the offers
were none too liberal.
It was at this point in the pro-
ceedings that the little town of
Shelby, Montana, stepped into
the picture. Not satisfied with re-
maining the happy, prosperous
little place that it was, Shelby
sought fame and prominence in
the world. The leading citizens
of the town made a startling bid
for the fight between Dempsey
and Gibbons. For the defense of
his title, Dempsey was offered
$200,000 on the spot, and an ad-
ditional $100,000 on the day of
the fight
No more welcome music had
ever sounded in Jack Kearn's
ears. The offer was snapped up
before you could say sucker. The
fight was set in Shelby for July
4, 1923, The townspeople con-
gratulated themselves on the
prize plum they had plucked
from the fistic tree, Little did
they know what misfortune they
had brought down on themselves.
As the day of the fight ap-
proached, the people, of Shelby,
Montana, finally came to realize
that they had overstepped them-
selves badly, The balance of
money that Was due to Kearns
could not be raised.
On the eve of the fight, the
local promoters came to' Jack
Kearns' hotel with their troubles,
There was a fine sum of $43,000
available to pay him off;; would
it be enough?
Kearns sneered at the offer.
He waved the contract before
their faces and demanded the
hundred thousand due him. They
begged him to take what he could
get and let the fight go on.
Kearns said no money, no fight.
The local folks said the town was
stone broke. Kearns lit a fresh
cigar. Voices began to rise.
Words were said that might bet-
ter have been left unsaid. A
terrific battle followed, fists flew
through the air, heads were
conked. In the excitement, the
sheriff of Shelby who was acting
as chairman, got in the way of a
stray bullet.
From all the ruckus Jack
Kearns emerged triumphant, as
usual. The town, at the end of
its resources, somehow found the
money to pay him off. The, fight
took place and it was a dull af-
fair won by Dempsey on points.
When it was over, Kearns and
his crowd took the first train out
of Shelby. Behind them they left
a ruined, busted town. The lead-
ing bank had closed its doors.
The citizens had lost their sav-
ings. It was a fearful price to
pay for a bunch of soon -to -be -
forgotten headlines.
A cynical film writer says:
"Hollywood is a city lined with
palms—all of them itching."

mobile .as he prepares to take a driver's test. Mosley, 22, suf-
fered multiple wounds when shot down over Korea.
Look Boo's There—These two screech owls give each other the
eye in no uncertain terms. The fluffy little birds are misnamed,
according to bird experts, who say their cry is a series of clear,
tremulous and plaintive notes rather than a screech.
Now — Bread That
Never Gets .Stale
A revolution is beginning in
the bread industry. American
housewives will benefit first, but
the idea was born in the Arctic
when Admiral Byrd en his last
expedition found that some bread
left in a hut under 20 feet of
snow for years before was still
edible and fresh.
When a loaf is baked its great-
est loss of flavour and "newness"
takes place in the first 12 hours
after leaving the oven. This can
be prevented by freezing bread
immediately it has been baked.
A large baking company in
New York State is putting frozen
bread on the market. They intend
to distribute bread throughout
the United States, transporting it
in refrigerated trucks and keep-
ing it in cold storage.
Far from increasing bread
costs, they believe it will bring
down the price of a loaf. Bakers
will not have to work overtime
or at week - ends and holiday
times. T h e heavy wastage of
stale bread will be eliminated.
Shops will be able to stock bread
once a week or once a fortnight
and it will remain fresh in their
cold stores.
It is also claimed that the
housewife will be able to buy a
week's supply of bread at a time,
but this seems doubtful. Will the
refrigerator be big enough
to hold the week's supply
of loaves and rolls as well as
other foods? However, some ex-
perts in the bakery trade believe
that frozen bread will be com-
monplace in five years' time —
and the bread on the table will
always be 'anew,"

If you were to ask the average person participating in
an opinion poll which he thought would be the higher: the
profit made by industry, or the taxes taken by government,
it is certain he would plump for profit. And if you were to
ask what he thought the amount of profit was, his estimate
would probably begin at 10 per cent.
On both counts he would be wrong.
The education committee of the Canadian Manufacturers
Association has just completed a nation wide survey. Mr.
W. E. Weaver, the committee chairman, has released the
figures which show that for every one dollar of sales of Can-
adian manufactured goods in 1952, profit amounted to only
five cents. Of that five cents, 2.2 cents went out in dividends,
and 2.8 cents were ploughed back into the business.
And what about taxes?
Federal and provincial taxes on manufacturing income
average out at 5.1 cents per sales dollar. Taxes thereby beat
profits by one tenth of a cent per $1 of sales.
This C.M.A. committee started making these surveys five
years ago, to combat public misconceptions about the size of
manufacturing profits. It is noteworthy that in 1948, profit
was 6.2 cents. In 1950 when corporate taxes were lower, it
jumped to 7.1 cents. In 1951, with taxes still rising, it dropped
to 5.8 cents and in 1952 with taxes still on the rise, it was five
cents.
The Monetary Times
Modern
Etiquette
Q. When the brief form of in-
troduction is used, such as, "Mrs.
Jones, Mrs. Smith," in what way
can it be made apparent who is
being introduced to whom?
A. The more important per-
son's name should be accentu-
ated so that it will be as clear as
though the words, "May I pre-
sent," were used.
Q. When eating a baked pota-
to, is it correct to take the pota-
to from the skin and mash it on
the plate?
A. No; the proper way is to
split the potato and then eat it
directly from the skill.
Q. Whose place is it to set the
date of the wedding, the bride
or the bridegroom?
A, After the prospective bride
and the bridegroom have de-
cided between themselves that
circumstances are favorable for
their wedding, it is up to the
bride and her mother to decide
the exact date.
Q. Is it proper for a married
woman to send a gift in her name
only to a bride -elect?
A. No; she should always in-
clude her husband's name,
Q. In a restaurant, when your
napkin fails from your lap to
the floor, do you pick it ftp and
use it again?
A. No; the waiter should pick
up the fallen napkin, and give
you a fresh one,
Q. Is it proper to ask a mar-
ried man to serve as best man at
a Wedding?
.A, Yes; but be sure to include
his wife in any of the festivities
that the bridal party may en-
gage in.
Q. Is it considered all right to
use the abbreviation "c/o" when
writing to somone in care of
someone else?
A. Et is better to write the
words out, "care of."
Q. Is it correct to use a fork to
place jelly on bread?
A, No; the knife should be
used for this purpose.
Q. What should a man do if a
woman makes a social call at his
office, and keeps talking anti tak-
ing up his time?
A. He may , at first opportuni-
ty, rise and tell her he is glad
she stopped in to see him — or,
if this has no effect, he may tell
her he has an urgent appoint-
ment.
Q. Is there any difference in
the pronunciation of "fiancee"
(feminine) and "fiance" (mas-
culine)?
A. No; both are pronounced as
fee-ahn-say, with an accent on
last syllable.
Q. On which arm of her fa-
ther should a bride proceed
down the aisle of the church?
A. On his right arm.
