Wrestler Tried To
Cheat Gallows
There are more ways of killing
a cat than by choking it with but-
ter. And there are ways of saving a
man from hanging other than by a
last-minute reprieve.
At least, so thought "Farmer"
Burns, who was a circus strong-
man performer; one-time heavy-
weight wrestling champion of the
world, and the discoverer of Frank
Gotch, who beat the famous Geor-
ges IlackenscbmirIt ht the most dis-
puted mat battle of- all time.
Martin Burns was a farmer's boy
when Ile first broke into fame. Sent
into town to sell some pigs, he
was attracted to a visiting fair, chief
item of which was a wrestling
booth, The proprietor was offer-
ing five dollars to anyone who
could gain a fall from his pet grap-
pler.
Acclaimed Champion:
Burns went on the mat in the
blue overalls that -bespoke his cal-
ling. Ile won the match, collected
his money and earned from the
crowd the name of • "Farmer"
Burns.
After that he decided it was eas-
ier to gain a living on the mat than
down on the farm Iie took to pro-
fessional wrestling and in time was
acclaimed world's champion by
reason of a victory over the original
"Strangler" Lewis.
I3urns toured the United States,
wrestling all corners with great suc-
cess. Ju Ole course of his travels
he came across Frank Gotch,
taught the tough German all he
knew, and eventually developed him
into a champion.
The "Farmer" was no Physical
giant, but used his natural strength
scientifically and practised physical
Rowdy To Ski-Daddle--Dagmar Rom, Austrian ladies' slalom and
giant slalom world skiing champion, tries her skill on a ski -bob at
Zugspite, Germany, during the opening of the German whiten
sports season. Miss Roma member of the Austrian Olympics
winter sports loam, ogard,ed the ski -bob race as a welcome break
1,1 her hard pre -Olympic training on Germany's highest mountain.
The ski -bob is a combination of bicycle and ski,
culture with fanatic zeal. He made
a particular study of muscle -control,
and one of his favourite tricks of
showmanship was to allow himself
to be suspended by the neck for
five minutes.
Ile would have a scaffold built,
stand on a box beneath it and have
a running noose put around his
neck. Then they would kick the•
box away and leave him dangling
in mid-air for the advertised time.
When they let him down he would
perforin a front and back sumer-
sault to prove he was quite all
rig!. t.
This speciality eventually caused
Burns to figure prominently in a
dramatic story,
In Chicago a certain bar - room
habitue named Painter was accused
of killing a woman. Although
George Siler, a wrestling referee,
came forward and testified that the
prisoner was in his company at the
time when the murder was com-
mitted, Painter was found guilty
and sentenced to death by hang-
ing.
'!'here were the usual appeals, all
of which failed to secure a reprieve.
Finally, all hope of saving the
doomed man was abandoned.
Siler, who honestly believed in
Painter's innocence, chanced to
meet Farther Burns one evening.
The wrestler lent a sympathetic ear,
discoverer) that the execution was
fixed for three months hence, and
asked to be taken to see the prison-
er
This was arranged, and !!urns
strengthening exercises such as be
used himself when training for his
famous "hanging" performance, IIe
had the idea that if they strung the
convicted Sian up three times with-
out being able to break his neck,
he would be acquitted without fur-
ther attempt.
Pairhter was well acquainted with
tl.c renowned hanging stunt. Gras-
ping at the last straw to sate his
life, he practised daily in his chill
the "wrestlers' bridge" and other
special exercises for the tnngl:en-
ing ,11 the nerlc muscles.
He became sn enthusiastic that
before -long he was confident that
Ile could not be hanged, no •matter
how often they tried.
Barns .left town before the
date of the execution. .Returning a
month later, l.e sought out George
Siler and asked if fainter '. ' been
hanker!,
"Oh, yes, but they had to have
three tries," explained Siler, tvislt-
bice to let the, Farmer know that his
efforts at life-saving had not en-
tirely been wasted, "'they broke
two ropes on him and filially hang-
ed him with a third."
'Well, then," countered the
wrestler philosophically, "!t just
goes to show that if you try :mine -
thing often enough, you're bound
to (lo it in the end,"

LIFE AND HAPPINESS
It is a tm:versal tendency of
men and women to marry and esta-
blish a horse. For we suspect that
happiness is made in the home.
And we are right. At a deeper level
the family is a workshop Inc the
art of making love, But this is not
the end. The honkie is but a prepara-
tion for family life with Gad.
God does not live alone, afar
off, in majesty and solemn grand-
eur. It is common experience among
us that one who enjoys power and
authority, is left to live alone, This
is not true of God. Neither is IIe
atone nor docs He wish to remain
apart from us. For the life of God
is a family life, the life of the Di-
vine Family of the Father, the Soh
and the Holy Ghost.
Never before the coming of
Christ diel anyone guess the na-
ture of God's hie, Throughout the
many wise men came to the con-
clusion that somehow God trust
have companions. Thus we find
the story of triads—companions of
God—described in the literature of
the East. But these companions of
His were always of lesser dignity.
There still remained the cold
solemness of Gad.
We, men and women everywhere,
consider loneliness a form of suf-
fering. It is a sign of an incom-
plete life. But the life of God is
perfect, complete. The key to hap-
piness, therefore, lies in studying
the Divine Family life of God. The
human family must be patterned af-
ter the original family if it is to
lead to happiness. Its final happi-
ness will be found when it be-
comes a part of Divine Family life.
And thus is the happiness of man
completed in the family life of God.
This is one of a series of
messages by Father V. McGivney,
Parish Priest, St. Francis Parish,
Pickering, Ont.
Yeast — The Food
Of Many Uses
As world supplies of ,teat and
eggs diminish, scientists are seeking
more ways in which yeast can be
used to save tinder -nourished mil-
lions,
1'cas, g,es into bread and beer,
and without it these two items could
not be made. The tiny micro-or-
ganisms of which yeast is built up -
act like miniature factories. They
take in sugar at 0110 end and deliver
alcohol and gas at the other.
In the rase of beer the alcohol is
absorber! by she "wort" (the- liquor
produced by steeping barley in
water), and the gas forms the
"head" or froth.
With bread only the MR; is 1.1004.
This makes tiny holes in the dough
so that it comes from the oven soft
and (;bogy. The alcohol evaporates
with the heat of the oven.
But yeast can do much better
things that. matte possible the baking
of bread and the brewing of beer.
It contains a high percentage of
protein, that necessity for growth
which modern science has found to.
be so lancing in much foodstuff.
Protein is a complex compound
containing carbo n, hydrogen,
oxygen, and nitrogen, with a little
sulphur. It milds muscle and tissue.

The People Make - Their Choice
Joshua 24:1.8,14-18.
Memory Selection: Choose you this
day whom ye will serve. Joshua
24: 15a
Joshua had come to the end of his
life's work. He had worked efficient-
ly, first Dioses. The people were
now settled in the promised land.
All the tribes were gathered to
Shechem. The elders, heads, judges
and officers presented themselves
before God. Joshua briefly reviewed
God's leadership of the people from
the days of Abraham. Then he made
the great appeal of the memory
selection. Would they revert to
Pagan worship, tite gods of Abra-
ham's homeland or those of the
Arnroritcs, some of whom still
dwelt in the borders of the land?
•In a powerful plea, Joshua exclaim-
ed, "As far me and my ]house, we
will serve the Lor(!."
Example exerts great influence.
The people responded, "God forbid
that we should forsake the LORD,
to serve other gods. "They pledged
to serve the LORD also.
Everyone roust ,rake this choice.
We are all serving; either Jesus
Christ or Satan. happy is the man
who has made Joshua's choice.
"The service of Jesus true pleasure
affords,
In Him there is joy without an
alloy;
Tis heaven to trust Him and rest on
His words,
It pays to serve Jesus each day?"
