COKE MASON IS SURE A VERY “DUMB-EGG” With All of His Faults This Prize Fighter Is the Lovable Leading Character in “Iron Man.’’ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN OH. this man Coke Mason sure is a "dumb-egg” but a mighty lovable one at that with all of his human faults. You may meet Coke Mason, middle-weight champion, who rose to hit: title from the ranks of a mechanic helper in "Iron Man,” written by W. R. Burnett and published by Lincoln MacVeagh, The Dial Press, New York. Burnett is the man who gave the world “Little Caesar.” Even if you do not have a terrible “yen” for the prize fight ring and all the life that goes with it, I am sure that the study of Coke Mason as drawn in “Iron Man" will give you several hours of genuine reflection upon life and

those in this world. Coke really steps out of the pages of this stci-y. endowed with realism. You really can see his many fights in the ring as if they were in real life Never In one story have there been is many fights described as in this story and every one is different because the point of interest always centers about Coke, his manager and that double-crossing woman, his wife. Nobody knew the danger that a “skirt” can do to a prize fighter, even if the “skirt” happens to be the wife of the pug, than George Regan, Coke’s manager. Regan knew that he had a sort of a crude prima donna on his hands and he knew in most cases how to hand Coke the lemon to make nim do the right thing. George Regan could kid Coke into doing everything but taking back his wife. Coke was lonely when the flighty but beautiful Rose Mason was away from him on af holiday of several years and when she was with him. he was still in hot water. Probably there are no more human and honest scenes in modern fiction than when Coke and Regan were friends. Regan had his faults, he liked the bottle much too well, but he did know how to graduate Coke from a bum into a champion. You will find a lot of “Strange Interlude” language in “Iron Man” because Coke. Regan and all the gang surrounding the two speak their own language. And they rightly call a spade a spade. Coke and Mason become such real individuals that when Rose Mason finally causes Coke and Regan to part company, you actually get a lump in your throat because you know that Coke is going to get his. Coke does get his knockout. He loses Rose and that was sure good lass of baggage but he is not financially broke. And so I had the feeling that Coke, although an ex-champion, would not go hungry for good. And I was glad to feel that he was cured of Rose and her double-cross-ing methods for good. "Iron Man” will hold your attention and it will introduce you to life that probably Ls just plain mystery to you. Here is a healthy, a robust heman story of a champion. Recommended for all adult readers who want realism and a certain slice of life. 9 B B B Indianapolis theaters today offer: "Follow Thru” at English's. "No. No. Nanette” at the Circle. "Laughing Lady" at the Indiana. "Sally'’ at the Ohio, "New York Nights” at the Palace. "So Long Letty” at the Lyric.

ZIMMER HARP "TRIO APPEARS IN RECITAL The Pi Omicron National sorority last night at Caleb Mills hall presented the Zimmer Harp trio, composed of Nellie Zimmer, solo harpist ; Marie Mellman, harpist and pianist, and Louise Harris, harpist.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Harry Newcombe, dramatic baritone, appeared as the vocal soloist. To me certain types of music such as harp music requires more than an occasional acquaintance to really appreciate. It used to be that in the old days we came into contact with the pipe organ only in the church, but now all movie theaters have them, the air is filled with organ music and even some private homes have their own instruments. And so harp music to me is really rare. The harp has always charmed me and I was glad when the artists played compositions more familiar

HALF-CENTURY IN PUBLIC LIFE. TAFT'S RECORU Ex-President , Blundered Only in Field of Politics. Editor’s Note—Here is the first of s series of articles on the life and career of William Howard Taft. President and retiring chief justice of the Lnited States. Others will be carried daily. BY HERBERT LITTLE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. s.—Out In Cincinnati sixty years ago, a father knit his brows over a report from the Woodbury high school. His son was fifth from the top of his class. He straightened up and addressed the family: "Mediocrity never will do for William.” In the White House, twenty-five years ago, Theodore Roosevelt talked with his secretary of war, and urged him to accept the highest political honor the nation could offer, the presidency. “T. R.” got this reply. "It's good of you, Theodore, but I’d rather be a judge.” Mediocrity never did do for William Howard Taft. The dynamic Roosevelt, however, over ruled iris friend "Will,” and placed Taft in the presidency for one of the most disastrous administrations of Republican history. When it was over, he returned to his first love, the law, and carried on, as chief justice of the United States, for‘eight and one-half years a complete reorganization cf the court’s policies. Taft spent nearly a half-century in public life. His career is more varied and amazing than that of any other American. It covers most of the oceans and continents, and touched with effect nearly every aspect of the complicated modern world, government, industry, the humanities, in addition to the law and politics. He blundered only in politics. SEEK MACHINE GUNNERS Bn United Press DETROIT, Feb. 5. —A squatty, pock-marked youth was hunted today as the leader of the machine gun gang who, with ten confederates, held up and robbed the main office of the Western Union telegraph office here Tuesday night. Eleven employes of the telegraph company and twenty customers were in the downtown building at the time of the robbery. The bandits escaped in two cars, taking with them loot totaling about $3,000 in cash and commercial paper.

U.S. SUB FREED FROM RUCKS IN LUNG STRUGGLE Undersea Craft Grounded, Buffeted by Storm and High Winds. Bn United Press PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Feb. 5 The United States submarine 0-3 was safe in the navy yard here today, after grounding on rocks at the lower entrance to Portsmouth harbor during a blinding snowstorm. With a crew of thirty-two officers and men aboard, the submersible, bound from London, Conn., for the navy yard here, was driven by a stiff wind, which its churning propellers could not counteract, until it was left high on the rocks between Odiome point and Parson's point, helpless. For nearly five hours after the first SOS started a huge rescue fleet converged at the scene. Fears were felt for the safety of the crew marooned within tire steel hulk. The wind had increased and the snowstorm had not lessened. The tide was low. Helpless to free the 0-3 from the rocks, the rescue vessels stoed by. ready to take aboard the submersible’s crew. Finally a few minutes before midnight, the navy tug Penacock and the commercial tug Mitchell Davis succeeded in dragging the undersea boat back into its own element.
