Max Schmeling
Refuses Match
With Joe Louis
German Boxer Asks Fight
For Heavyweight Title
Against Jim Braddock
Title BoutDelayed
Specialist Says Champion's
Hands And Elbows Unfit
For Immediate Fight
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-(P)-The
fight front was no man's land for the
Brown Bombing Joe Louis today. !
Flushed with his three-round
comeback knockout of Jack Sharkey
last night the young Detroiter found
himself in the position of being all
dressed up with no place to go.
Max Schmeling flatly refused to
consider a return bout with Louis and,
the way things are shaping up, it will
be a long time before Champion Jim-
my Braddock will be in a ring with
Schmeling, Louis or anybody else.
Braddock's injured left hand was
examined today by Fred Albee, as-
signed by the New York State Ath-
letic Commission to determine wheth-
er Braddock should be granted a
postponement of his scheduled Sep-
tember engagement with Schmeling.
Dr. Albee said he would recom-
mend at least a month's postpone-
ment. However, the commission will
make a decision on his recommenda-
tion at its meeting on Friday.
The specialist asserted the title-
holder is suffering from subacute ar-
thritis in the injured hands and both
elbows. The growth in the left hand
has been there for several years,"
he said, adding, "it is my belief that
the pain Braddock has been exper-
iencing for several weeks was caused
by the close proximity to the growth."
Meanwhile ^Louis' managers and
friends began pulling all available
wires to get Schmeling back into the
ring with the Brown Bomber. They
regard Louis a sure bet to avenge his
June defeat by Schmeling and get set
to tackle Braddock next summer.
To all of which Schmeling replied
"nothing doing" in his best English.
"I am here to fight Braddock for
the title," he said. "That's all I'm
interested in. There is no point in
meeting Louis again except for the
money and I don't need that.
"If the Braddock fight is post-
poned, I'll go back home and return
when he is ready.'
Promoter Mike Jacobs was flooded
with offers for the Bomber's services.
Lew Tendler sought to book Joe
against Al Ettore in Philadelphia
September 14, and Elwood Rigsby,
Pittsburgh promoter, wants Joe to
go against Al Gainer or some other
contender in the Smoky City the first
week in October.
Joseph Triner, chairman of the
Illinois State Athletic Commission
telegraphed Jacobs urging that a
return Louis-Schmeling match be
made for Chicago, pointing out there
are 500,000 Germans in Chicago and
another 500,000 in the area between
Chicago and Milwaukee.
Jacobs said he might accept some
of the offers just to keep Louis busy.
The fight experts were divided on
the extent of Louis' improvement
since the Schmeling fight, but
Schmeling left no doubt as to how he
stands.
"Joe was in worse shape for this
fight than he was against me," said
Herr Max. "He still can be hit with
a right and I saw other weaknesses
last night.
Max said Sharkey fought a dumb
fight. "He was always easy to hit
with a right," he said. "His biggest
mistake was in trying to mix with
Joe."
While W. 49th Street fought and
refought last night's battle all over
again, both principals left the city.
Sharkey went to the offices of the
20th Century Sporting Club, collect-
ed a check for $35,621.67, then left by
auto with his manager for Boston.
Disappointed over his failure against
Louis, the former champion said he
probably would never fight again.
Louis left by train for Detroit. He
will rest there a week, then go back
to Stevensville, Mich., to start work
for any fights that may be made for
him. Joe's share of the gate was
$42,746, or 30 per cent. Sharkey's cut
represented 25 per cent.
The official attendance was 27,374
and the net gate $136,285.76.

MARQUETTE, Aug. 19.-Mich-
igan, one of the few states without
a county named in honor of the first
President, once had a Washington
county which failed to survive a State
Supreme Court test of its brief exist-
ence.
The revelation of a "Washington
county" in Michigan was made by
WPA workers making a state and
local survey of historical records in
the Upper Peninsula.
Delving intd the documents of
early Marquette county, project work-
ers discovered assessment rolls for a
"Negaunee township, Washington
county, L. S. Michigan."

of "Teal Lake Township," found in
the Negaunee city building, and from

Corn Prices Up
To Highest TopF
Since Post-War
Farmers, Giving Up Hopes
For Crops, Salvage Yield
For Fodder,_Roughage
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-()-Cornf
prices jumped to the highest peak
since the post-war period today as1
weather bureau crop experts reported
the drought was growing worse in the)
farm belt.
Quotations rose as high as $1.37 a
bushel on the Chicago Board of,
Trade, again passing wheat in re-
versal of normal market conditions.-
The previous high was $2.17 in 1920,1
with an all-time record of $2.36 in'
August, 1917.7
Corn futures, wheat, oats and rye
hit 1936 highs in the wake of reports
of continuing heat in Western plains.
Although the weather bureau saw
thundershowers as possible relief for
stifling Kansas and Oklahoma to-
night or tomorrow, the bureau's crop
observers said general conditions in
the drought region were growing
steadily worse.
"Devastation became more wide-
spread" in the corn and wheat grow-
ing states during the last week, the
bureau's weekly bulletin asserted, de-
scribing recent hot weather as "de-
cidedly unfavorable" to crops.
"There will be little corn in most
of the plains states, much of Mis-
souri, parts of Iowa, and in some
areas east of the Mississippi River,"
the bulletin continued.
Farmers, it said, were everywhere
giving up hope of a crop and mak-
ing efforts to "salvage as much as
possible for fodder and roughage."
Water and feed for livestock were
reported "increasingly scarce" with
"forced movement of stock contined
in many western and central sec-
tions."
Rain fell in "appreciable amounts'
only in very small, scattered areas
during the week, the bulletin said,
and there gave but "more or less re-
lief."
The plains area through which
President Roosevelt's drought relief
committee was passing was described
as hardest- hit because of continuous
heat for weeks.
Increasing requests for movement
of livestock came from farmers in
Iowa despite showers in that state.
The interstate commerce commission
in Washington ordered a 25 per cent
cut in railroad rates on cattle ship-
ments from Oklahoma and Kansas to
Texas.
Favorites Push
Ahead Toward
Tourney Finals
CHARLEVOIX, Aug. 19.--(P)-
Seeded favorites without exception
pushed through to the quarter-final
round of men's singles today in the
eleventh annual Michigan Riviera
tennis tournament, although some of
them encountered stormy competi-
tion.
Harris Coggeshall of Des Moines,
defending champion, dropped a set
to Howard Stephens of St. Louis be-
fore winning, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4, in a third
round match. Ernest Sutter of New
Orleans, National Intercollegiate
champion, dropped a set to Ernest
Byfield, Jr., Chicago, his second
round opponent whom he defeated
6-8, 6-1, 6-3. then proceeded to
breeze past Al Thav of Detroit in the
third round, 6-1, 6-0.
William Reese of Atlanta, Ga.,
fourth-seeded, was extended by Mil-
ler Sherwood, Grand Haven, winning
3-6, 6-4, 6-4.
facturing News," workers then got
the history of Washington county.
These sources show that Washing-
ton county was created by public act
on February 15, 1867 and the town-
ship of Negaunee by the same au-
thority on February 27, 1867. The
territory included in Washington
county included parts of Marquette
and surrounding counties, includ-
ing all of Negaunee township.
But Washington county was fated
to a three months' existence. In
March, 1867 the Marquette county
bpard declared the office of county
treasurer vacant because the incum-
bent resided in Washington county
and Matthew H. Maynard was ap-
pointed to the vacancy.
This action precipitated a suit in
the State Supreme Court, William L.
Stoughton vs. Maynard, in which
it was held that the creation of
Washington county was not valid;
that since there could be no Wash-
ington county, the territory was still
Marquette county; that hence the
county treasurer resided in Mar-
quette county and that hence the ap-
pointment of Maynard did not hold.
A decision holding the county of
Washington invalid was given by the
State Supreme Court on May 25, 1867
-a little over three months after the
county was created-and that was
the end of Washington county in
Michigan.
At present, there are 20 persons
employed on the survey of historical
records in the Sixth WPA district.
One or more workers are employed
in Menominee, Delta, Dickinson, Iron.,
Gogebic, Marquette, Baraga, Hough-
ton and Alger counties. Workers will
be stationed in Keweenaw and On-
tonagon counties in the near future.
The project, with Walter Moyland
in charge of the district, began
March 7, and since then scores of
misplaced records, some of them val-
uable, have been found. A survey of
church records also was inaugurated
in Marquette county recently and
church records in other counties will
be examined.

Coed Murder
Eight Witnesses Testify
In Opening Session Of
Martin Moore Case
ASHEVILLE, N. C., Aug. 19.-(P)
Eight witnesses testified today in
Superior Court as the prosecution be-
gan weaving the web it hopes will
send Martin Moore, Negro, to the
gas chamber for slaying Helen Clev-
enger, New York University student,
in a hotel room here July 16.
Most of today's testimony merely
established the circumstances of
death, leaving until tomorrow ef-
forts of Solicitor Zeb V. Nettels to
get into the record a confession which
Sheriff Laurence E. Brown said the
tall Negro made when arrested 10
days ago.
J. Scroop Styles, court-appointed
defense laweyr, told newsmen the de-
fense would challenge the document,
claiming it to have been obtained
under duress, that leniency was
promised and that the defendant was
not legally under arrest when he
signed it.
Styles created a flurry when he
asked go be relieved after Sanford W.
Brown, another Asheville attorney,
announced he had been retained by
Moore's sister. The court appointed
Styles and Thomas A. Jones, Jr., last
week when the Negro was represented
as without funds to employ counsel.
Judge Phillips admitted Brown to
defense counsel and induced Styles
and Jones to continue.
Opening state witnesses were:
Prof. W. L. Clevenger, rotund N.
C. State College Dairy specialist with
whom his niece, 18-year-old Helen,I
was traveling, who told of finding
her shot and battered body in her
room at the Battery Park Hotel.j

Steel Industry
To Benefit By
Large U.S.Navy
Bids For New Destroyers
And Submarines Called
By NavyDepartment
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-(R)-Indi-
cations of further demand for heavy
steels appeared on the industrial hori-
zon today as the U. S. Navy de-
partment opened bids for new de-
stroyers and submarines.
Analysts say the navy's plans to
step up its fighting strength to full
treaty limits by 1942 will help ma-
terially to quicken the pulse of the
shipbuilding industry.
They also explain that while ship-
builders have for some time leaned
heavily on U. S. Government con-
tracts for naval ships, there have
been some large private orders. In
the latter classification the outstand-
ing commitment is the projected
tanker construction for Standard Oil
of New Jersey.
The. Navy department's action
served to present what economists
termed a favorable contract between
the expansion of heavy industry in
the United States and abroad.
While much of the industrial mo-
mentum of foreign countries, notably
Germany, France, Great Britain and
Italy has been derived from the fas-
ter pace of naval and armaments ac-
tivities, the durable goods industries
in this country, they emphasize, have
been recovering with comparatively
little help from these quarters.
Meanwhile the electric power and
steel industries continued to give
evidence of their increasingly ro-
bust condition.
For the week ended Aug. 15, elec-
tricity output turned ahead contra-
seasonally to score a gain of .7 of 1
per cent over the preceding week and
a rise of 14.3 per cent over the like
week of 1935.
A further sharp rise in the price
of scrap steel and the steady gait of
incoming orders for steel were im-
portant straws in the wind noted by
"iron age."

Farmer-Labor
Leaders Hope
For 1940 Party
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-(A)-
While the major party campaigns
proceeded apace today, the attitude
of leaders in the Farmer-Labor and
Progressive movements raised new
possibilities of potential import in
the present and future presidential
contests.
Meeting at Madison, Wis., mem-
bers of the executive committees of
the Minnesota Farmer-Labor organ-
ization and the Wisconsin Farmer-
Labor Progressive federation decided
not to endorse any presidential can-
didate this year as a body; but to set
out after Novemberl toward national
establishment of a new party. Some
of the participants had advocated
support of President Roosevelt for
re-election.
Apart from that conference, Gov-
eror Floyd B. Olson of Minnesota ac-
cepted an invitation to join Senator
Robert La Follette (Prog.-Wis.) in
sponsoring an attempt to unite in-
dependents for work "to prevent re-
actionaries from capturing the pres-
rather sharper than intended finally.
They are then tuned by flattening
them. This is how it is done:
A bell is stood, bowl downwards,
on a table. Then it is marked off in
five sections by drawing lines around
it. Each section between the lines
gives off a different note. It may
happen that three of the sections
ring true. and that two are out of
harmony-the second and fourth, for
instance. To get these two sections
into tune, metal has to be cut away
from the interior of the bell. But
take away too much and the bell is
ruined. It takes ver.y little indeed
to overdo it.
The 24,000-pound Bourdon bell for
Ann Arbor is more than six feet in
diameter, with sufficient room inside
it for a number of men to stand
upright. The bell is held in an
enormous grip while the metal is
reamed out.
The vibrations of the lower rim of
the bell are always the greater, grad-
uating downwards the nearer you
approach the top. In the process
of accurate tuning a simple tuning
fork plays a vital part, but the tuner
also has delicate vibrational test in-
struments to aid him in his work,
When the bell is declared perfect
.by the tuner, it is passed on to the
sandblaster, who, garbed in a sheet-
metal suit, applies sand under terrific
air pressure until the bell is bur-
nished and stands forth a thing of
beauty. Fifteen minutes is as long
as the sandblaster can work at a
stretch.

When, You
EXCHANGE =LAMPS
41 *
Please bring your electric b111
It is easy to exchange your burned out lamps for new ones at any
Detroit Edison office. There is no charge for lamp renewal service.
(The cost of lamp renewals is included in your electric rate.) If your
BURNED OUT lamps are not the sizes you wish, we will gladly
exchange them for other sizes. The only requirement is this: When
you exchange lamps, bring with you your most recent electric bill
for identification.
This rule requiring identification through your electric bill is partly
for your protection, since it keeps others who are not Detroit Edison
customers from getting lamps which you pay for in your electric rate.
Also, this practice discourages wasteful lamp renewals and provides
the Company with the necessary records on lamps passed out.
The Detroit Edison Company will gladly advise you on the correct
sizes of lamps for your ,needs. Keeping your sockets filled with
lamps will mean greater comfort and convenience in your home,
and will insure adequate light for safe seeing.
Note: Lamps are renewed without extra charge only for
residential and commercial customers paying lighting rates
and in the following sizes: 25W, 40W, 60W, 100W,
150W, 200W, 300W, 500W, and three-lite lamp, 100.
