NEW YORK, Feb. 21 (P Bill
Strlbling has lifted his dukes In pro
fessional combat 280 times. He has
flown In 120 landings. And the most
serious accident ho ever had was a
fall from a bicycle. He was knocked
unconscious and badly battered.
Btrlbllnff loves spocd. Every time
ho gets his hands on the "wheel of
anautomobile sensible frienrtB set
out unci walk. - Ho drives aa though
ho were trying to qualify for tho
championships at Indianapolis. He
wants to try speedway racing somo
day. On the beach at Daytona, Flo.,
he shoved a stock car up to 115 miles
an hour.
As a youngster in Macon. Ga.. "W.
L." ,rodo a- wheel furiously before he
ever saw a pair of boxing gloves.
When ho got enough money together
ho graduated to a motoroycle. Tho
wind rushing into his face, tearing
at his clothes, gives his a tremond
ouc thrill. He h6lds a transport
pilot's license now, owns several
planes, arid the finest of these Is a
big closed Job. He doesn't like that
one. He'd rather have a motorcycle
again and the wind ripping at his
face. Many fight critics believe he
lacks courage. .
Everything he does In in a hurry.
He wears everyone out around him,
runs up and down stairs, bounces In
and out of chairs, rarely has the
patience to reaa lor any- lengtn or
time. He Is impassive Just before a
fight. Cautiousness In critical mo
ments has cost him at least two
championship shots. His father and
manager, "Pa" Strlbling, is white
with anxiety during Bill's matches, j
"Be careful, son, don't get hurt,"
ho tells him between rounds.
Strlbling loves any kind of a com- i
petition and hates to lose a game '
or an argument. He plays cards,
checkers, dominoes, and with nothing
at all at stake, perspires as though j
he were carrying bricks. He argues
over evory point.
Ono of Strlbllng's keenest disap
pointments was his parents' refusal
to let him play football when ho was
a boy because the game was too
rough. All that brawling over a foot
ball Is his Idea af a perfect way to
spend an afternoon. He plays bas
ketball almost as well as a profes
sional, but there are too many rules.
His big weakness is tee cream. He
fills up at least once a day and often
tucks away a liirgo portion of the
confection before he goes into tho
ring. He likes war stories but
doesn't core for movies unless they
aro thrillers.
He shoots a gun. steers his plane,
and mans a cue stick all with his
left hand. He writes and knocks
lighters out with his right. He loves
to visit with friends, hunt with
tli em. take them flying. Most of
them prefer to stay on the ground.
Next winter ho intends rf. to try
speed boat racing.

Smythe, famous English, mountain

climb Mount KanehlnJunRO, Is pre
paring to scale Mount Kamct. one
of the 00 Himlllyan peaks which rear
their piercing crags more than 26,
000 feet above sea level.
If ho succeeds Mount Kamct will
be the highest summit In tho world
ever reached by man. If he falls,
mystics will repeat their belief that
the Himalayas are sacrosanct as
tho home of Indian gods, and must
remain inviolate. No man has yet
put foot on the upper slopes of

Mount Kamet, with Evercht, the
hlKheat peak in the world, and
Mount Kanchlujnnffa, forms the
trinity of ice-encased dome mak
ing "the roof of the world." On
a clear day they may be seen from
the outskirts of Darjeeilng, "Place'

glaciers forming probably one of
the most sublime sights In the world.

Actor of The 7(Ts
Lives In Siskiyous
GRANTS PASS. , Ore , W Joe
Coruwell, about 60, with the tongue
of a Londoner, the poise of an actor
and the beard of a prospector, lives
alone far up in tho mist-hidden
peaks of the Siskiyous, miles west of
Grants Pass.
The beard of Joe Cornwell Is no
different than that of any other
prospector, but his poise and his
accent mark him as one not borne
of picks or schooled in the Jargon
of mining camps. .
Miners say Joe Cornwell is "odd";
thev say something mysterious is
hidden in the little castle hat backs
up against -a rock ledge..
There is It Is in ft trunk.
Back in the 70's, shortly ofter the
Civil war, the name of Joe Cornwell
blazed before the floodlights of oil
burners at the old Bartless house In
New York and the Community house
In Boston. For then, Joe, Cornwell
was an actor.
Handbills that cracklo with age
tell the story. Newspaper clippings
yellowed by the tinting of time cast
the stamp of an actor on the man.
For actors, even In the dayB of oil
footlights lived and thrived on pub
licity, and Cornwell has carried this
love with him into tho luring hills
of Southern Oregon.
There is a suit in the old leather
trunk the trunk that somehow or
other Cornwell lugged up the moun
tainside to his homo.
Sometimos when the Bunset Is
about to cast its lost huo upon the
skle Cornwell has, ho admits, donned
this suit and gono over the lines
that used to be his in Boston and in
New York. Nanny, his goat, is the
audience.
But he would not do this for a
man who pressed him for some eT
planation as to why he loft the
floodlights for Southern Oregon sun
sets. Everybody Wants to
See Charlie Chaplin
LONDON. Feb. 21 (P) .Charlie
Chaplin slipped out a side door of
his hotel yesterday and set off down
Fall Mall for a quiet walk, Incognito,
so to speak.
Before he had gone fifty yards a
street sweeper spied him, flung his
hat In the air and cried, "Wot cheer,
Charlie, old boy." Instinctively Chap
lin waved back and In a moment he
war- In the center of a crowd In the
middle of Trafalgar Square. He es
caped In a taxi-cab. '
Every body in England, it seems,
wants to moot tho little comedian.
It is understood that arrangements
are being mado for his Introduction
to Ramsay MacDonald. It also was
thought likely that he would be in
vited to stay at Chequers, the prime
minister's official country residence.
Mr. MacDonald Is taking a brief va
cation next week. - .
German Exonerated
By Coroner's Jury
PORTLAND, Feb. 21 (P) A coro
ner's Jury, reporting lnte yesterday
exonerated County Commissioner
Fred W. German of blame after an
inquest Into the death of LoulB
Lampert, Janitor, fatally injured
Monday night when-ho was struck
by' German's- car. - ' " ' '
After a trip to tho sceno of tho ac
cident, the Jury returned its verdict,
accompanied by a recommendation
that traffic signal lights bo rear
ranged. Members of the Jury held
that under present conditions. It Is
difficult to see tho lights, and that
on a rainy night German might
easily havo been confused.
Tho coroner's Jury verdict has no
bearing on the manslaughter charges
filed by a relation of Lampert.

watchful eyes of federal eoldlers who

The situation became tense almost
overnight. Heavy rains In tho past

' directly over the line. ,
; Soldiers fin (J mini
Soldiers paced back and forth on
the line, guarding it zealously, for
If a prospective settler so much an
struck the ground on tho strip, ln
bido the line, he reliuqulHhed hit
right to tako part in the run.
At tho stroke of noon, a revolver
was fired and tho run began.' Mr,
Heasty, accompanied by Oodfrey
Mack and George T, Crydcr, made
the run In a wagon drawn by a span
of stout mulcu. He adds that the
picture of tho starting, shown In
Cimarron, Is typical. Horses ran
away, riders were thrown, horses died
from running too hard, ho states.
The run was a battle, of wits and
luck, and strategy also played Us
part. One of tho prettiest sights
which he saw were two race horses
ridden by a man and a woman, and
as soon as the run - started the
frightened horses raced, hcad of
everyono else.
I Villainy Hart Part
Villany also played its part, and
I in a few occasions, murder was the
result of the concests held over the
claim. Novor quarrel with a stranger
especially In that region, wns the
advtco given Mr. Hoasty by his
father, and he found that pouchera
had entered tho territory before Jt
was open and staked his claim on
tho same piece of land, which Mr.
Heasty selected.
Before tho oponlng tho Chorokee
strip was called "No Man's Land,"
and -harbored thousands of cattle
and horR.es, stolen by rustlers, and
hidden among tho low hills and
ravine until they could bo shipped to
market.- Mr. Heasty was raised 14
miles from the strip and he elates
that It was very common for some
one to kill someone in the small
town of Caldwell, two miles from the
border, and then run across the line
into tho territory whero ho was safe
from justice.

"Cimarron" Is
Gripping Drama
Of Old Oklahoma
A Kevlew.
' It opens .with a land rush spectacle,
a page taken from the thrilling his
tory of the settlement of Western
United States, and It oloecs with an
act of sheer bravery that would grace
the front page of any metropolitan
newspaper of today. In between, In
about two hours of actual time, the
dramatic Incidents of 41 years flicker
across the screen.
They call it "Cimarron," this pic
ture showing at the Liberty, and wo
ball It consummate artistry artistry
that portrays romanco that makes
one's heart sing, pnthos that cause
tears to steal into one's eyes, humor
that lures a smilo from the most
cynical, and homely loyalty that grips
you "where you live."
It Is a simple story, enacted and
re-enacted In this western country
many times not.-, Individually, per
haps, but In the collective doings of
thousands of men and women of
hardy stock who dared the privations,
the horny-handed toll, the sufferings,
the dangers and the unsung triumphs
that associate with the building of a
new empire.
. Tho picture, with Richard Dix and
Irene Dunne taking tho leads, re
volves around a man fired with the
wanderlust of a conqueror of primi
tive frontiers, but whoso greatness is
tempered with the emotions and com
monness of the average persons, and
around a woman symbolical of tho
heroic struggle to weave into tho fab
ric of a raw, wide-open country the
culture, tho conveniences and the
protectlvo atmosphere of an older
civilization.
i "Cimarron" emblazons on one' mind
tho spirit and tho daring that typi
fies the ability to carry on In thefaco
of almost back-breaking obstacles on
tho one hand, and the tenderness and
compassion of a woman's clmrnotor
molrilng Idealism on tho other. With
the plains of Oklahoma os a setting,
nevertheless It applies to any west
em frontier.
"Cimarron" is a man's picture
hard as Iron and also a woman's plc-
