He was conscripted. He stuck it for a few days, then he walkâ€" ed out after having beaten up the corporal who was supposed to be in charge of his tent and knocking out the captain in charge of the camp. But he usually won, and alâ€" ways the same way, He would come out of his corner wild and swinging lefts and rights, mostly rights; sooner or later he would connect and that would be that. He was only persuaded into amateur boxing because he knew that when he won he could sell the watch they gave him A(or ten or fifteen dollars. When he turned professional it was because the money was better. Until he. made fighting his career "I knew only two ways of living â€"â€" being locked up or runing wild." Born on the East Side.of New York, he grew up poor and wild, stealing his food â€" "the only thing we paid for regular was haircuts." Always, wherever he was, he had to be number one, and beâ€" cause he packed dynamite in his right hand and was scared of_nobody, he usually was. _ So says former world midâ€" dleâ€"weight champion Rocky Graziano in his book "Someâ€" body Up There Likes Me." And fight he did, on the streets, in bars, in clubs, in reform school, in prison, in the guardhouse, and in the ring. ‘ _ Citizens of Eastham, Massaâ€" chusetts, decreed many years ‘ago that every man should kill [six blackbirds and three crows , yearly . while he _ remained |single. _ Farmers whose crops | were being ruined by the birds hailed this novel "tax" with deâ€" \ light.

His Name Always Spelled "Trouble"‘ WEDDING MEDAL â€" Here are both sides of the bronze medal that will be distributed to all of the subjects of Prince Rainier II! of Monaco following his wedding to Aemrican movie star Grace Kelly in Monaco on April 19th. The medal was designed by French artist Henrie Lagriffoul, "Noting the Bill taxing bachâ€" elors $5 a" year, I am toâ€"day sending cheque for my tax. 1 shall be away this summer and wish to do my part. $5 is too little. No real free man would object to paying $50 or even $500." When a certain gay bachelor, Mr. Harry L. Johnson, of Fort Myers, heard about it, he reâ€" vealed the high valuation he put on his single blessedness by sending the following wire to the authorities: An "Old Maid and Bachelor Tax" Bill introduced into the legislature of the State of Floâ€" rida 30 years ago imposed a $5 tax on every spinster over 25 and every bachelor over 30. Dukes, archbishops and so on had to pay. £12 l1s. a year (a large sum in those days).

Thus bad news elors could mean a break for the girls! If the plan succeeds, what guarantee is there that someâ€" body here won‘t advocate a similar one being put into pracâ€" tice, recommending stiff, bachâ€" elor taxes as a means of raisâ€" ing national revenue? And if that does come about them many who have "escaped" so far will have to decide Their Contiaental _ counterâ€" parts have already reason to regret their single state.

But if they include just half the things in that volume there will be more trouble â€" with the censor. Rocky naever made a claim to fame as a boxer, and he did not even boast that he was a clean fighter. But he had guts, one of the hardest punches in the game and the killer inâ€" stinct. He would take punishâ€" ment for round after round, just waiting for the one openâ€" ing that would give him his chance. He took it, and his opâ€" ponents seldom knew what hit them. He was always a wild street fighter, and he stayed that way right up until be took the title from ‘Tony Zale in 1947. But they. couldn‘t make him train. When weâ€"went to a trainâ€" ing camp he just sat around smoking. If he went on a road run, he would sit down with his pals as soon as he was out of sight of the camp and throw dice.

In effect, Canadian bachelors are paying through the nose for the privilege of being availâ€" able.

Editor‘s Note SALLY$ SALLIES The pelts that represented his winters trapping were ripped and slashed â€" to u.te)es_m His supplies were in a s heap on the floor, sugar sacks cut open, flour strewn over Shivering for lack of a fire, he forced his numbed fingers to ‘contrive new â€" snowshoes, then wearily began the long jourâ€" ney back to his cabin, where food and warmth awaited him. But when he reached it at last and pushed open the door, he saw that his vindictive enemy had been here too. Stoically the Indian went in search of willows to use for temporary snowshoes, When he returned he found his tent and blanket completely ruined, his matches gone. _ Snow was beginning to fall. So the trapper pitched his tent and crawled inside. In the morâ€" ning he found that his snowâ€" shoes, which he had hung up on & branch, had been cut to pieces. Again le Carcajou had struck. Up ahead somewhere his dog barked, then was silent The Indian hurried forward appreâ€" hensively. In a clearing he came upon his dog, dead, his throat savagely slashed. The Indian shook his fist. "Le Carcajou!" he muttered again. and set out through the snow on the trail of his enemy. "Le Carcajou!" the Cree Inâ€" dian muttered with mingled awe and fear as he bent ovet the last of his traps. Every one of them had been raided of its bait, evidence that he had been challenged by a relentless forest enemy. And he knew there was not room in this wild northland for both of them. He next wanted to find out if plants were subject to drugs. He found that a cabbage can be made drunk, as it were, by being given alcohol. By using an instrumeint of his own invention, Bose was able to detect movements in a plant by magnifying them one million times. Using this macghâ€" ine, he detected how a plant winces as it is damaged much as an animal does. Using apparatus capable of registering the smallest electriâ€" cal reaction, Bose cut and damâ€" aged a wide variety of plants. He got reactions from all . of them. They felt the pain though, no doubt, in a less acute form than you feel it in the dentist‘s chair, or when you cut your hand. Thirty Pounds of Sheer Savagery In the Bose Institute, in Calâ€" cutta, Sir Jagadis Bose made the discovery that the humblest flower has â€" seneibilities unâ€" dreamed of before his amazing expermints. Did You Ever Hear A Cabbage Yell? Some time ago a noted Indian scientist decided to find out whether vegetables have feelings. And after long and patient experiments he proâ€" duced an astonishing discovery. They have feelings. Smacking his lips over a juicy rump steak, the hardest hearted meatâ€"eater may spare a little sympathy for the fate of the animal which became his dinner. _ But who would ever shed a tear over the cauliflower or cabbage that goes down so well with the beef? "Cabbages don‘t feel," you may say, But can we be so sure? When you sleep the machinery he actually moved logs 30 feet long which had ‘required two men to put % The wolvefine may well rate ure ost fearsome fightâ€" er. In battle with an enemy, he is a twisting, slashing blur of sheer fury that bewilders and In order to get at some packâ€" ages of food cached atop a huge woodpile, but which had fallen down between the logs, a single 28â€"pound wolverine upset the entire woodpile. In the process Unprepossessing as he may be in appearance, the accomplishâ€" ments of this fiend of the forest lang ago convinced the Indians that le Carcajou has supernaturâ€" al powers. His feats of strength are legendary. _ Known as le Carcajou to the Indians and French Canadians of the northland, in the western U.S. he is sometimes called "skunk bear" because of his disâ€" agreeable scent and because he looks somewhat like a bizarre combination of those two aniâ€" mals. Technically, he is a memâ€" ber of the weasel family. ’ Though the wolverine possessâ€" es such craft, cunning and imâ€" ‘p]acable hatred of man that he is viewed with awe by éxperiâ€" enced woodsmen, he is an unâ€" gainly little beast hardly three feet long and weighing, as a fule, less than 30 pounds, writes Reed Millard in "Coronet." everything, bacon tossed into the ashes of the fireplace. The blankets in his bunk were torn to ribbons. The trapper set out for the nearest Hudsons Bay Post vowâ€" ing that he was through with trapping.

GOING FREE â€" Jacques Mor: nard, who assassigated Leon frotsky 16 years ago, is schedâ€" uled 4o be a free man within a month. He has been serving 0 ‘20-yecr sentence in a Mexican prison for killing the man Stalin termed a traitor and spy. So we have to revise our attiâ€" tude to vegetables and plant life generally. They may not be able to think, But they are afâ€" fected by fatigue and anaesâ€" thetics, they react to cuts, they can get drunk, and feel a great many things that are experiâ€" enced in more intense form by man. Out of these experiments Sir Jagadis made the discovery that whatever tends to increase or depress the vitality of plants tends to increase or diminish its response to an electrical shock. The chart of these responses is recorded on a galvanometer, and the zigzag lime produced looks very much like that of an ordinary barometer. Anaesthetics were tried on vegetables, too. Chloroform and such poisons as mercuric chlorâ€" ide were administered to a number of plants. The poisons killed the plants, and the insects feeding on them died also. When the vegetable or plant survived, the insects survived. He gave several vegetables a succession of electric stimula: tions quickly, one after the other. He found that after a time they were too tired to reâ€" spond. Other experiments proved that vegetables vary in health and vigour with the seasons. They are lusty in spring and by late autumn are wilting badâ€" ly. Geraniums and arum lilies were also among subjects for these tests. Some went on responding to the shocks, more and more slowly, until death ended all activity. Even more _ extraordinary, the scientist found that some vegetables â€" carrots, radishes, cauliflowers, celery â€" are more sensitive than others. Do vegetables get tired as animals do? Again, the answer is yes. Sir Jagadis measured electronically a large number of responses in this way. He found that plants are very much like animals in many ways, only living on a lower life level. They must have good food and drink to flourish, and plenty of fresh air. He gave his experimental plants short measure of these esséntials and saw them react always as aniâ€" mals would. awake and at work or play. Bose found that just the same thing happened when plants go to sleep and, of course, everyone who has a garden knows they do. J. G. Lockhart, a skilled Manitoba trapper, once found his traplines being Taided by a The trapper set out to. follow him. Hour after hour he snowâ€" shoed at top speed. But after 50 miles he gave up.
