M.~ Hampton, has discovered a glass which kills off flies like a death ray and which, It is thought, may become standard equipment in the pest-free pantnes of tomorrow. , ^ Dr. Hampton insists that he still does not know exactly why ** _181 that light when filtered through the | glass will kill flies. He explained1 that he started to evolve this par-1 ticular kind of glass at the request! of the Admiralty who requiral a non-aetinic substance "to protect lighter-than-air observation craft. The result was what Dr. Hampton termed his "3A a n t i - f a d e " anewj f o r m o f r o l l e d g l a s s w h i c h w o u l d a f r -j sorb heat rays. It had a bluish! tinge, and its first test w»s in the window of an abattoir. , The first ho* day people commented on the "eeire" coolness experienced beneath the windows fitted with 4 3A anti-fade." The next day many dead flies were noticed "on the floor be- . heath the windows. The new glass is still killing flies in experiments--but none of the scientists who have examined it can explain why. It looks like Joe Miller went out of the fly-swwtter business just in time! -J The raw recruit on guard duty Kt&d strict orders to admit no car unless it bore a special tag. He stopped one whose passenger was a high-ranking: officer. The guard heard the brass-hat OTder his driver to go through, and calmly said: "I'm sorry, sir, but I'm new at this. Who do I shoot--you or the driver?" " Officer: "Do you know who I am?" Recruit: "No, sir." Officer: "I'm the Colonel of this outfit." , Recruit: "Oh, boy! Are you going to catch the devil! The sergeant's been lookirig for you all morning." A letter from P. F. C. "Tommy" Thomas tells of seeing Paris a couple of times. He says those French girls are nice but he still thinks the American girls are tops. But, "Tommy" has other things on his mind, too. He's real interested in" the baseball season .here at home. Woodstock is coming to "town Sunday with an improved ball team to meet our Shamrocks in the opening of the second round of league play. Howard Judson is home from the U. of I. and will give Woodstock some first class mound work. Besides he's quite a hitter. They use him in the clean-up spot. ' Bill Meyer, another U. of I. player took over third base for the Wood- , stock riine last Sunday, but we don't* know much about his ability. We isdnt know Judson! , < Murphy twirled a creditable game "against Johnsburg last Sunday, but the local boys failed to enter the scoring column. Let's hope they can get ahold of Judson's fast ball next Sunday. At any rate, a game between Mc- Henry and Woodstock is an event for all good sport fans. . ' « . 'Says Alderman Ferwerda.

Camouflage Fixtax* Here's an idea for camouflaging a "bedroom ceiling fixture. When you paint your ceiling paint over the ugly iron fixture.

He was still the vital factor. He did most of the work, and most of the thinking. But he still needed some outside help, for Gene was a raw product on the way up. In his first match against Harry Greb, Tunney took the worst beating of his career. But from that fight on Commander TunAey kept moving up. "The two men %feo helped me most," Tmuey 'told m* a few weeks ago, "were Jim Corhett ami William Mnldoon. It was Mr. Mnldoon who gave me early encoaragemfeBt when I needed it badly. 8c was also the one who gave me.aossd advice on physical conditioning and training* Master Boxer "What boxers need today," Tunney said, "is variety of attack. Jack Dempsey didn't need this so much with his devastating left hook. He could knock your head off with this one punch. And don't forget that Jack was extremely fast. I had no such punch. So I needed variety, which Corbett gave me. At least Jim gave me the general idea. For Corbett had more variety than anyone I've ever known. "After tawing and working with Corbett I went to work on several types of punches. I mean by that the body uppercut, which few boxers had ever used. Most uppercuts are headed for the chin. There were several other punches I worked on, day after day. I might even say -- year after year. I made Gene Tunney a close study of the human body to find the most vulnerable parts. Especially the nerve centers. I had discovered that a punch delivered to some spots would have no effect--where the same blow a few inches away could cause trouble. Fitzsimmons applied this knowledge in his famous solar-plexus punch that left Corbett paralyzed for a minute or more. Six inches to the right or left, this punch would have had no such effect. "It was Jim Corbett to ,whom I went for ring advice. In my opinion there has only been one Corbett when it comes to the science of boxing. I boxed with Corbett when he was past 60. He would feint with his left hand--and then hit you with the left. Or he would feint with the left --and nail you wim a right. There was no way to tell just what he was going to do. He could mix up more punches than any one I ever saw. Corbett not only had amazing hand and foot speed, but even more important he had a smart brain. Even at that age, Jim could really dazzle you. He could still keep you bewildered. So I can imagine what he must have been when lie was 25 or 30 years younger. I can only say that Jim was always kind to me, always interested in helping.'* Eetv Vulnerable Spots "Judging a fight Jrom the viewpoint of blows that hit certain parts of the anatomy is something more than you can ask a referee or any judge to consider. And yet it is a vital factor. I've heard fight crowds cheer loudly at some solid thump on an opponent's shoulder. This means nothing at all. It is just wasted effort, no matter how effective it may look to the crowd. "There are only certain parts of the human body that give way to punishment. These are parts that few boxers today even know a boat. It was Corbett's advice that led me to study these vulnerable spots. At least Jim proved to me beyond any doubt that boxing was more of a science than mere brute strength. A scientific boxer can make a crude lighter look awkward although the latter might be twice as strong. "I've found that few of these terrific punchers can Wt a moving target who knows how to keep out of the way. You may recall how many punches Max Baer landed on ^lim Braddock, who was no section of lightning'. L don't believe Max landed even one solid blow in 15 rounds. But Max couldn't miss big Carnera.* Boxing i$ one finest and one of the most scieh-tinc sports in the world. It would be a great help to the game if a few of'the modern generation "coming along were only willing to work "along these lines. Which so few of them are." ........ Return of Lombard* When Ernest Natali Lombardi lay stricken in the dust of Cincinnati's home plate in the final world series game of 1939, the big fellow's career seemed to, be closing out. But it is all different how. The big Giant catcher has again become one of the most valuable adjuncts to his squad, one of the strong men from either league. Lombardi, normally a .300 hitter, dropped down to a .255 average last season. But now, in his 37th year, he has again been thumping the ball lustily. jommnma ditkats "MICKS" AS MILLS*- PITCHES SHUT-OUT IJUDSOH SHUT OUT RICHMOND AS ENDS FIRST ROUND CIRCUS In one of those fast-moving games! . , . . .... , , where everybody gets through in j R'chmond dropped their last time to get home for chows, the ?* ** ™und ^ Sunday to!
