(Consolidated Fsatures—WNU Service.)
N EW YORK. — We heard that
Wendell L. Willkie had 300 invi
tations to make public addresses.
Across his big desk, which in
its mountain-
W end ell Willkie
Has Pep ’Aplenty
And Plenty to Do
ous disarray
makes a
news paper
man feel at
home, we asked Mr. Willkie about
it. The report was all wrong. The
number is something over 2,000.
Also in the rucl^ were enough pleas
for magazine and syndicate articles
to give Mr. Willkie writer’s cramp
for the rest of his life, if he took on
even one-tenth of them.
Mr. Willkie, built like a guard,
works like an end or a halfback.
The range and agility of his mind
is such that he might be a swing
man, either in the line or the back-
fleld. On his desk was a new
book, the life of the Elder Pitt, about
which he is writing a review; also
a litter of papers having to do with
pretty nearly everything from kant
to kilowatts.
An hour’s conversation covered a
similar range. He talked rapidly
and vehemently, sawing and ham
mering with his extended palm,
when he told how the Common
wealth & Southern forced down
rates, or challenged what he terms
the unfair TVA bookkeeping; mak
ing hesitant or groping gestures
when he touched on the intangibles
of social origins and inducements.
He is like that—assured and vehe
ment on what he knows and thought
ful and explorative on what he
merely thinks.
He doesn’t want to kill the Se
curities and Exchange commission.
He would merely put it under sound
democratic controls.
Mr. Willkie has tremendous gusto
and live, intellectual curiosity. He
says all this talk of nominating him
for President is incidental to the fact
that he made a rock-and-sock battle
on something he knew about—some
thing which happened to be impor
tant and which perhaps helped to
clarify certain basic issues. He says
he never spent a dime on a personal
build-up and never will. Almost his
strongest emphasis was reserved for
his observation that the run-of-the-
mill citizen is a lot brighter than
he’s supposed to be, and that therein
lies the hope for our continuing de
mocracy. Out of its context, that
might sound like the old homespun
Indiana political hokum, but that’s
the last thing you could tag Mr.
Willkie with.
IN 1914, Franklin D. Roosevelt, as-
sistant secretary of the navy, was
riding the venerable destroyer Pat
terson up the coast of Maine. He
said to young
Navy Commander Lieut. Stark
Has Talked Back at the helm,
To Hi. Big Chief £
a while? I am an experienced navi
gator and I know this coast.” The
young lieutenant replied, “I am in
command here and responsible for
the ship. I doubt your authority to
supersede me. If you can offer any
helpful suggestions I should be glad
to hear them.”
It was said that Mr. Roosevelt
liked that kind of sea talk. At any
rate, last August, he jumped Adm.
Harold R. Stark over 54 others who
outranked him, to make him chief
of naval operations, No. 1 post in the
navy. White-haired and professori
al, Admiral Stark continues before
the senate committee on naval af
fairs his advocacy of an adequate
navy, this time pointing up his argu
ment with a reference to Japan’s
eight new dreadnaughts, supposedly
under way.
Admiral Stark commands a force
of 110,000 men, 11,000 officers, 18,000
marines, 550 ships and 2,000 fliers.
Two of his outstanding policies are
a belief that the navy should control
and operate its own air fleet, and
disbelief in “attrition” warfare. In
other words he thinks the navy
should be always in instant readi
ness for quick, hard hitting. His
technical attainments advanced him
In his earlier years and in later
years his frank and outspoken
formulations of broad navy policy.
He is regarded by close observers
of naval affairs as a fortunate com
bination of the “activitist” tradition
and studious and informed knowl
edge in the overlapping zone of na
val and foreign policy. This be
comes important in the latter-day
urgency and delicacy of internation
al affairs.
He is an inlander, bom and reared
in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. When the
World war started he was herding
five destroyers in the Philippines,
so old they weren’t supposed to go
out after dark. However, he got
them half way around the world and
entered them in the main event. He
is primarily a big-gun expert. In
spite of all modern improvements
6n the big battle wagons, he thinks
the decision is apt to go to the nation
whose ships are able to display the
finest assortment of the biggest and
best guns. He’s out for all he can
get.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
T HERE’S a superstition in
Hollywood that an actor cast
as a newspaper reporter goes
right on into bigger and better
roles. Robert Paige believes in
it firmly, because it’s worked
for him.
He was brought into pic
tures from radio because of
his ability as a singer—and
then he was given one part
after another in which he had
no chance to sing. He seemed
to be stuck in melodramatic
roles. Then he was cast as a news
paper reporter in “Golden Gloves,”
and again played a reporter in
“Opened by Mistake.” And now
he’s booked for the leading male
role in Paramount’s “Dancing on a
Dime,” a musical comedy, in which
he’ll play opposite Grace MacDon
ald—and will sing and dance, at
last!
At 75, May Robson has no idea
how many roles she has played on
stage and screen, but she’s ready to
tackle her newest one, that of Ellen
Drew’s grandmother, in “Texas
Rangers Ride Again.” It’s one of
Birthday greetings from Gary Cooper to
May Robson.
the most strenuous parts of her long
career, that of a salty old lady who
looks upon modern Texas peace of
ficers as poor successors to the ones
she knew in her youth.
You’ll be able to see Pat O’Mal
ley, of radio’s “Alec Templeton
Time,” on the screen before long.
His first picture will be “Captain
Caution,” in which he will play u
Cockney sailor who is captured dur
ing the War of 1812—and in which
he’ll sing the “Apple Song,” which
he has already performed on the
Templeton program.
When you see “A Night at Earl
Carroll’s” you’ll also see what was,
two years ago, the community’s
most expensive night club. Remem
ber when it opened, with a special
section for movie stars? Nowadays
it’s a dime-and-dance emporium in
the evenings, but during the days
it’s been returned to its former glory
by Paramount. Ken Murray and
Rose Hobart play the leads in the
picture, Cobina and Brenda, radio’s
comedy team, and some of the
much publicized Earl Carroll beau
ties will support them, and Earl
Carroll, besides acting as producer,
will play himself.
The Philadelphia-LaScala Opera
company wants Deanna Durbin to
make her operatic career under its
auspices next season. James Mel
ton’s already signed with the com
pany.

Ben Grauer has grabbed off the
most coveted announcing assign
ment in radio. He’s been selected
to introduce Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
when she takes the air. Oddly
enough, he and she will be in studios
hundreds of miles apart, since she
will be on the go most of the time;
she’ll broadcast from a city con
venient to her schedule, and he’ll
chime in from a New York studio.
He is an energetic, jovial young
man, who, since he joined NBC 10
years ago, has been working toward
liberating the announcer from his
stiff-necked, plush-voiced make-up.
He’s been trying to sound like a
human being, and deserves a medal
for the way that he has succeeded,
and inspired other announcers to
unbend.
*
Radio’s “Uncle Ezra,” (Pat Bar
rett) a confirmed bachelor in his Na
tional Barn Dance air show, found
on his arrival in Hollywood recently
that the screen expects him to have
a wife. In the Bob Burns picture,
“Cornin’ Round the Mountain,”
“Uncle Ezra” will find himself wed
ded to a movie actress, whether he
likes it or not.
*
Nine years and 49 weeks ago Joan
Blondell decided that she might as
well leave Hollywood and go back
to New York, because she’d never
get anywhere in pictures. She was
working in “Sinner’s Holiday,” with
James Cagney, and she made up
her mind that she’d stick it out till
the picture was finished.
But she never got away. In fact,
she’s been so much in demand that
she’s had only a few trips to New
York to do shopping, and the one
she made with Dick Powell on their
over-ballyhooed honeymoon.
THE CAUTIOUS SALESMAN
(“The automobile industry is
asked by the Federal Trade
commission to adopt a code.
Under it there must be no ex
aggeration of gasoline mileage.
And in selling a second hand
car strict truth as to its history
is demanded.”—News Item.)
Customer (interested in a new
car)—This looks like a wonderful
■ car for the money?
! Salesman—Well, I wouldn’t want
to go that far.
Customer—It’s by far the best
looking job on the market today.
Salesman (ever
mindful of the
code) — Suppose
v/e just say one
of the best, and
avoid all chance
of trouble.
Customer (still
elated)—What is
the horse power?
Salesman (hes
itatingly) — I un
derstand direct from headquarters
that it is ninety horse, but I would
rather not say so on my own re
sponsibility.
Customer — Has it four-wheel
brakes, shock absorbers and the
new magnetic shift?
Salesman—The catalogue, which I
have every reason to believe is cor
rect, says so. It is my belief that
it has. But if you decide to take
this one I will crawl under and
check up to make certain. In fact,
I would feel it my duty to do so.
• • •
Customer—How many miles does
it give to the gallon?
Salesman (who has been dread
ing this one)—I was afraid of that.
And you will have to accept what
ever I say as being my best opin
ion. The factory says it will do
twenty to the gallon, our sales man
ager has been heard to claim twen
ty-four and we have customers who
claim they only get eighteen. Wash
ington thinks nineteen is a better
estimate. I would be inclined to
string along with the government
and avoid criticism.
Customer (now a little less en
thusiastic)—Have you any good
used cars?
Salesman—That is a question we
have to be very careful about an
swering these
days. Here is one
that came in yes
terday.
Customer (look
ing it over)—Ha
it been driven
much?
Salesman — It
depends on what
is meant by
“much.” I try to
avoid the word as having too many
shades of meaning.
Customer (pretty tired of it all
by this time)—What I mean is how
old is it?
Salesman—The serial number is
678456, and, according to the rec
ords, this makes it a car manufac
tured in 1938.
Customer—How many miles has
it gone?
Salesman (wincing)—The speed
ometer says 11,000 miles. The own
er has given an affidavit swearing
that the speedometer has not been
tampered with. Our office manager
certifies that it has not beer,
changed or fooled with here. I can
say nothing more. Washington is
very strict on this point.
Customer—Has it—
Salesman (with an air of finality)
—Now, I’ll tell you what to do.
Take it out. Run it for a month or
so. Make your own decision. Then
make us an offer. THEN I’LL PUT
THE WHOLE PROPOSITION BE
FORE THE PROPER FEDERAL
OFFICIALS AND WE’LL SEE if we
can all conclude the deal with
CLEAR CONSCIENCES!

HO HUM!

Chirp of a robin brings curse on

Fiction Pales
Before Career
Of Kid McCoy
By ROBERT McSHANE
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
N ORMAN SELBY was the “real
McCoy.” And Norman Selby
took his own life recently in a De
troit (Mich.) hotel.
It was under the name of “Kid
McCoy” that Selby became one of
the best and most glamorons box
ing champions of half a century ago.
The “real McCoy” was originated
when the Kid billed himself that
way in opposition to a rival who
also called himself McCoy.
There were no tears shed at the
Kid’s funeral. He had caused too
much trouble during his lifetime,
had pulled too many mean tricks
and was never too particular about
how he fought as long as he was
victorious.
But Kid McCoy was a great fight
er. Boxing old timers remember
him as a paralyzing puncher—one
of the hardest hitters the fight game
has ever known. His skill was so
great he could pit successfully his
160 pounds against the best heavy
weights of his day. His cunning was
almost diabolical, and it was his
cunning which made so many ene
mies for him.
Lesson in Cunning
McCoy reveled in victimizing his
opponents. The old shoe lace gag
was one of his best. In the midst
of combat he would pause, point
down, and tell his opponent to “hur
ry up, tie your shoe laces.” When
the victim looked, McCoy struck.
Sailor Tom Sharkey, now living in
San Francisco, recalls the Kid with
no fond memories. He tells about
their fight in New York back in 1899.
The Kid came into the ring that
KID (THE REAL) McCOY
night with his gloves on. Sharkey’s
manager. Tommy Rourke, ordered
the gloves removed. They were full
of plaster. One good punch could
have brought a permanent close to
Sharkey’s career.
That’s a fight Sharkey will never
forget. Odds were 10 to 6 McCoy
would beat him. When the Kid
knocked him down in the first round
the ringside odds went to 10 to 3. But
the Sailor weathered the storm. He
started working on his opponent’s
stomach; and the referee counted
10 over the Kid in the tenth round.
Sharkey couldn’t forget the matter
of the loaded gloves.
The most lurid fiction is tame
when compared to McCoy’s life
story. At various stages in his ca
reer he was a millionaire and a
hobo. He was a world’s boxing
champion and a jailbird. He mar
ried nine times—three times to the
same woman. He served eight of
a 20-year sentence for murder. Once
he was proprietor of a jewelry store,
and once he swamped out saloons.
It’s almost impossible not to be
melodramatic when writing of Mc
Coy. He was a melodramatic per
son. His life was a series of fan
tastic adventures.
Unpleasant Memory
Tom Sharkey recalls another un
pleasant incident in the Kid’s life.
“I remember,” Tom says, “how
he met Tommy Ryan, in 1896, after
working as Ryan’s sparring partner
and learning all his tricks, still hid
ing his own skill. He wrote Ryan
he was dead broke and sick and
wouldn’t Ryan give him a chance
to make some money? It would be
just a workout for Ryan, but it
meant a change for the Kid. He
told Ryan he wouldn’t even have to
train. Ryan took him at his word
and gave him the fight. McCoy
beat him unmercifully—and laughed
about it.”
The tables were once turned on
McCoy, however. He was the vic
tim of an upset that ranks with the
game’s most inexplicable. Meeting
jack McCormick in 1899 in Chicago,
the Kid was rated a 100 to 1 shot
to win. One second after the bell
the Kid was stretched on the floor
senseless. McCormick had knocked
him out with the first punch.
Rugged Individualist
A note was found beside McCoy’s
body. His message was that he no
longer could stand the “madness of
the world.”
Perhaps the Kid was discour
aged because there was no longer
a spotlight shining upon him. He
was a rugged—and ruthless—indi
vidual. Only extremes meant any
thing to him. He scorned the well-
trodden path, always seeking glory
and excitement. When they could
no longer be his he decided, for the
first time, to throw in the towel.

Chronic Pains
May Be Aided

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
A PREPARATORY school re
ports that while the parents
of the present pupils were a lit
tle taller than their parents (the
grandparents of
the present pu
pils), the present
pupils are so
much taller than
their grandpar
ents that longer beds have be
come necessary. And physi
cians having to do with the ex
amination and care of previous
and present generations of pre
paratory and university stu
dents report that the average
height of the present students
is between one and two inches
more than the previous genera
tion.
If this increase in height
were accompanied by an increase
in width and strength, it would be
a great boon, but
unfortunately this
increase in height
is often accom
panied by thinness
of body, and
the lack of fat to
hold up the abdom
inal organs, allows
the stomach, intes
tines and kidneys to
drop more or less,
thus interfering
with digestion.
In describing a
case before the International As
sembly of Physicians in Philadel
phia, Prof. Peter T. Bohan, Univer
sity of Kansas school of medicine,
said:
Chronic Pain Relieved.
“A woman came to me complain
ing of pain in the right lower side of
the abdomen; diarrhea and chronic
fatigue. The pain had been present
for months, with no acute attack
over a period of weeks. At the time
I saw her it had been almost con
stant for the biggest part of the day
for over seven years and was worse
when she was overtired. . She also
had had a backache for 20 years.
She consulted me over a year ago
and the first thing I did was to take
her history (listen to her story and
have her answer my questions)
which required three hours. I gave
her some advice and a back brace.
She had had no pain and her bowels
and general health are better.”

Epileptic Attacks
Greatly Reduced
DHYSICIANS now look back but a
* few years to bring to mind the
large number of patients suffering
with epilepsy who “took fits” on
the street, in their homes, churches
and theaters or anywhere else they
happened to be. • Today it is un
common to see a patient undergo
ing an epileptic attack.
Here are a few simple rules to be
followed:
1. Cutting down on all starch foods
—bread, sugar, potatoes, pastries.
2. Cutting down on all liquids—
water, tea, coffee, milk, soft and
hard drinks.
3. Increasing the fat foods—but
ter, cream, fat meat, egg yolks.
4. The use of a tablet of pheno-
barbital (% to 1% grains), as pre
scribed by a physician, every 24
hours.
However, the body pays for its
relief by giving up some of its good
rich blood.
Patients Are Examined.
Dr. G. Maillard and Miss Jammet
state in Paris Medical Journal that
having observed anaemia (thin
blood) in two epileptic patients who
had been treated for a long time
with phenobarbital, they then exam
ined the blood of 15 epileptic pa
tients who had been treated with
phenobarbital for several years. In
eight of the patients they detected
a more or less severe reduction in
red blood corpuscles and also other
changes. As the reduction of the
red corpuscles (and the other
changes also) came about very slow
ly, neither patient nor physician sus
pected that the symptoms—tired
ness, paleness, rapid heart beat, the
swelling of ankles—were due to
anaemia following the use of pheno
barbital.
Now the epileptic attacks must be
prevented and phenobarbital must
be used, but these investigators state
that the blood can be built up again
by reducing the dose of phenobarbi
tal and by treating the patient with
liver extract. It is likely that ordi
nary liver—four to five ounces a
day—would give satisfactory results,

HABAKKUK FIGHTS THROUGH
DOUBT TO FAITH
LESSON TEXT—Habakku* 1:1Z—2:4.
GOLDEN TEXT—The just shall live by
his (ai«h.—Habakkuk 2:4.
“The just shaU live by his faith”—
the great rallying cry of the Refor
mation; in fact, the very essence of
Christianity, is found in the glorious
conclusion which the prophet
Habakkuk reaches in his trium
phant confidence in God. Trying
circumstance, doubt and fear must
all yield to faith in God.
The lesson for today is peculiarly
appropriate to the situation in which
the world finds itself just now.
Men's hearts are failing them for
fear. It seems to them that all is
chaotic disorder; they wonder
whether God has any plan for the
world and its people, and whether
He really cares. “Why doesn’t God
do something?” is the question on
many lips. The answer is in our
lesson.
I. Believe, Though Surrounded by
Questions (1:12-17).
Habakkuk does not question that
his people had sinned and were
worthy of God’s disciplinary chas
tening, but he is astonished to learn
that God plans to use the wicked
Chaldeans to bring it about. Ques
tions pour in upon him as he de
scribes their iniquity (v. 13), and
speaks of them as catching judah
in their net (vv. 14, 15) and gloating
over their victims (vv. 16, 17).
He does not yet know the answer
to his questions, but he has already
stated the foundation of his faith in
verse 12. Whatever happens, no
matter how sore the trial and non-
understandable the outworking of
God’s plan, the prophet is sure of
his God as the eternal and holy One.
The point to be borne in mind in
such a time is that God is not mak
ing plans for the moment or because
of some unexpected change in cir
cumstances. He is “from everlast
ing” (v. 12). His plans are eternal.
But He is also the “Holy One” (v.
12). It may seem for the present
that sin and wickedness have tri
umphed, but let us remember that
the eternal plans of God are con
ceived and executed in holiness and
power.
II. Be Alert in the Midst of Un
certainty (2:1).
One who does not have faith in
God is prone to say in such times
that all hope is lost, and give up
in despair. Not so Habakkuk. He
knew that there is nothing harder
than to wait patiently for God. He
determines to be neither dis
couraged nor impatient, but to
stand watch in the tower (v. 1).
“His words bespeak a very right
and proper condition of soul. Per
plexed and confused by the seeming
enigma of God’s ways, he e ms he
may require reproof, and takes his
stand upon the watch tower, above
the mists of the earth and beyond
the thoughts and doings of men,
where he can quietly wait on God
and look out to see what He will
say to him” (Ironside).
How desperately we need such
alert and earnest watchers in our
day. Christians, arise! Do not per
mit yourself to be either lulled into
a false security or into deadening
discouragement.
HI. Receive the Answer of Tri
umphant Faith (2:2-4).
“The Lord answered me.” He al
ways does, if we are ready to listen
and to abide His time. Habakkuk
received a vision of God’s truth in
which he was to write so plainly
that everyone who read it would
understand it and, in turn, run to
others with the message. Those of
us who teach and preach would do
well to follow that admonition. All
too often our message is not under
stood or fails to stir those who hear
it to go quickly and tell others.
Looking forward to Christ, the
just man of Habakkuk’s day was
to live by faith; even as we of this
day, looking back to the cross of
Christ, are justified by faith and
then are to go on to live by faith.
This is the word which, as we have
already suggested, stirred Luther
and his fellows to bring about the
Reformation. T xjng before Luther’s
day, however, the same words had
come by the Holy Spirit’s inspira
tion to be the heart of the great
messages of Paul the apostle as he
taught justification (Rom. 1:16, 17),
as he defended grace against legal
ism (Gal. 3:11), and as he por
trayed “the pilgrim’s path through
this world from the cross to the
glory” (Heb. 10:38).
Works of the Lord
Oh, that men would praise the
Lord for his goodness, and for his
wonderful works to the children of
men! And iet them sacrifice the
sacrifices of thanksgiving, and de
clare his works with rejoicing.—
Psalm 107:21-22.
Pride
The lofty looks of men shall be
humbled, and the haughtiness of
men shall be bowed down.—Isaiah
