Above are two Miami, Fla., misses, Vir ginia Crawford who officiates at a gas pump and Mitzie Strothers, a barberette, who is never short of customers. Mrs Juanita Lewis spurns reiiet to earn her livelihood as a shoe shine girl in New York. Her husband, an unemployed tunnel worker, nade the shoeshine stand and Mrs. Lewis says she likes the work because she’s “her own boss.” Women's emancipation from the kitchen began about the time feminine suffrage was granted. The revolt has grown until a few weeks ago a prominent authoress suggested that men have “made such a muddle” of things that they should be left home to do the dishes!

But now there is actually serious consideration of launching him against the huge, bulbous two- ton Tony Galento, the Orange, N. J., pub keeper who trains on beer and hot dogs. Tony has never been knocked down, but neither has a hippopotamus or a steam shovel.

He has Applejack flattened Al Et tore, Leroy And Beer Haynes, Charley Massey and quite a few not alto gether negligible fighters, but, as yet, no maulers of championship specifications. For some of his fights he trained on applejack, but now says he has found beer is best. In the little family gin mill and spaghetti palace, down by the rail road tracks, he shadow boxes for the customers and yells for a match with Louis. He says he would like to have it barehanded in the cellar, with $10,000 on the doorstep for the man who comes out. They have a two months’ old baby, who, says his father, never will be a fighter or Wally Berger, who came to the a barkeeper.

Sir Patrick Hastings, counsel for Countess Barbara Hutton Haugwitz- Daddy Has Gone A-Fishing Reventlow in her Lawyer for elaborate and ‘Babs’ Wins complicated dis agreement with Big Cases her husband, is one of the most interesting front page lawyers of London, usually a contender in any exciting interna tional wrangle in which London’s West End or New York’s Park Ave- nue might be interested. He repre sented Mrs. Joan Sutherland in the slander suit which grew out of gos sip about the Wallis Warfield Simp son divorce suit. It was he who got thumping big damages for Princess Youssoupoff, in the suit over the Metrb-Goldwyn Rasputin picture. He won the fight for the Warner Brothers to keep Bette Davis from appearing without their consent. In court, he has alluded to an epi sode when, hungry and footsore, he was turning his back on London, but was somehow flagged back again by an indulgent fate. He was trained as a mining engineer, fought in the Boer war and returned to London to precarious years in which he sparred for an opening. He was a journalist, a “leg man” around the I grubbiest of the police courts. In his attic lodgings, he studied law j and was admitted to the bar—with ’ nice going thereafter.

He is widely and intimately known in social and literary circles, but draws no class lines in his profes sional work. One of his most spec tacular cases was his defense of the Welsh miners in 1925. He moves into his middle sixties with no let down in mind or person. EMPLOYMENT GAINS John D. Biggers, of Toledo, Ohio, who directed President Roosevelt’s unemployment census last January, believes better times are ahead for industry and employment. He cited the case of the Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass company, of which he is pres ident, which has rehired 1,300 work ers in the last three months. Big gers predicted a fall upturn.

Hodgson is a shadowy but noteworthy figure in Eu- rope’s diplomatic Cagey Job underground, Handed about whom a book may some Sir Robert day be written. He is Britain's go-between in delicate negotiations with Generalissimo Franco of Spain about the bombing of British ships. When he is on a government mission, it is an indica tion that some subtle business is on. He had retired in 1936, but Ne ville Chamberlain called him back as a diplomatic pinch-hitter in this ship-bombing embarrassment. He is the son of an arch-deacon, of some what clerical mien, and was in the consular and diplomatic service for many years. From 1924 to 1927, he was British charge d'affairs at Moscow. He is usually working qui etly off-stage, never in the spotlight. C Consolidated News Features. WNU Service. Welleslev college's varsity crew takes its job seriously.
