balcony floors and correspond with
the general wall tint. Gilt metal
ends on the seat rows bear the let-
ters “B" and the cushions are of
brown leather.

room the ceiling has been construct-
ed in a slight arch of white fitted
tile.

dark blue velvet the front stage
drape bearing a .large gold embroid-
ered “B" surrounded by a design in

CAROL. SOVIET
PACT CHARGED
Presence of Prince In
France Not Wanted
Newspaper Says
PARIS. May 14.—L* Echo de
Paris today said that there was ev-
ery reason to believe that former
* rnwn Prince Carol of Rumania had
fallen into the toils of Moscow.
The Soviet the paper said was in j

neuvered him during his stay in
France. Close relations were estab-
lished between certain of Carol's
intimates and principal personages in I
the Soviet emhassy.
These relations the paper said
had not ceased and the minister of)
interior was rot unaware of them i
The minister of interior also was
aware of the presence in Paris at'
the present time of a Rumanian sub-1
ject a notorious Communist whose
connection with Carol'* immediate1
set is of the closest. The paper as-1
serted that if this Communist d;d |
not shelter himself behind powerful
protectors he would already have
been conducted to the frontier.
In view of this the paper con- I
eluded that the return of tarol to!
France was in no way desirable
LONDON May 14.—f/P>—Great
Britain expects Carol to leave Eng-!
land by Thursday. The prince whoi
has recently been reported ill had |

sor Burstall of Birmingham universi-
ty told his hearers that "science is

“The only limits to what we can

ence instead of being a blessing will
be a curse.
Science is cutting down the hours

‘STRANGLER’
D ISHOLD
Lewis Says Headlock
Not Dangerous; Old
Days Recalled
By NORMAN E. BROWN
Staff Writer for Central Preaa and
The Brownsville Herald
Took time enough from baaaball
the other night to watch Strangler
Lewi# world'# heavyweight wrest-
ling champ go through the motions
of defeating another opponent.
Lewis met and defeated his oppo-
nent in 13 minute# scoring the first
fall in 1 minute*; and the second in
three. Both h.v the aid of Lewis*
well known and much discussed
headlock.
And after the matrh Lewis spoke
1 to us in the defence of the head-
lock.
“So man l have ever met has been
permanently injured by the head-
lock. as brutal a# it may seem. As a
matter of fact it isn’t as brutal a#
the toe-hold or one or two other
common grips” said Lewis.
I "Joe Stecher was out of the game
! for three months after our matf h in
; New York a few years ago. but not
from the headlock itself. In throw-
ing him for the fall I dropped him
on hi# shoulder. The nerves of that
shoulder were paralyzed for a time.
Different Name
Spring training for major league
ball players and prospects of late
years is a matter of settling down
with the rest of the team in one of
the country's winter play spots and
with all the service that modern ho-
tels can provide and with all the
modern conveniences and appliances
at the ball parks to relieve the mo-
notony of the daily workout.
The Cinrinati Reds with their
own hall park at Orlando Fla. and
general ideal conditions were one
of the clubs to enjoy such a life this
post-training season.
But Charley E. Walton now post-
master at Columbus. Ca. wants to
ask the present Redlegs if they
would have gotten a kick out of
training under the old conditions.
“Then we used to heat the water
for the team in a big sap kettle and
dip it into wasfetubs for them after
| the daily workout.” he adds.
The Cinci Red# trained at Co-
1 lumbus back in the day# when Buck
Ewing wa# manager. Biddy McPhee.
j Hein-e Peitz old Breitenstein and
' other way-back-whenner# “ were in
their heyday.
No Showers
“Nobody bothered about shower#
then.” says Walton.
"If the weather was cold w# built
a fire in an old w-ood-burning stove.
But the weather had to be cold be-
fore we did it.
“There wern't any autos then to
haul the players to and from the
| park. They walked.”
Hank O’Day during his brief
i reign as pilot of the Reds some 14
I or 15 year# ago took the team back
to Georgia but training conditions
had improved greatly by that time.

Alcoholic Fathers
Produce Males Is
Belief of Doctor
BERLIN'. May 14.—<A*>—Dr. Agnes
Blum believes that fathers moder-
ately addicted to alcohol are most
likely to have male children while
the offspring of a temperate m*Je
parent are preeminently girl*. Dr.
Blum so" deduces from experiments
on animals since 1921 at the Kaiser
Wilhelm Institute for Biological Re-
search in Dahlem near Berlin.*
Her conclusion has been accepted
by many German scientists while
others hold that the results were
due to the racial peculiarities of the
animals upon which she experiment-
ed. As for experimenting purposes
animals having the largest progeny
in the shortest space of time haj to
be selected to obtain exhaustive sta-
tistics white mice were chosen.
They were then •tired off into many
groups of ten alcoholic and ten non-
alcoholic males each. ~
One group of males was feo nor-
mally while into the cages of th#
other ten i atrip of filter paper sat-
urated with alcohol was repeatedly
introduced. The mice inhaled the
alcohol which promptly passed Into
their blood. There wee an over-
whelming majority of mala offspring
from the alcoholic fathers.
