WEATHER TO BE SHOWERY
Railroad Officials Say Derby Crowd Is As Large As, If Not Larger Than, Last Year's-All Available Spaces Occupied.

 Twenty-six three-year- -olds. all colts and geldings, were eligible to engage in the blue ribbon racing event but there were indications that not more than twenty would start. and possibly only eighteen. It was not likely. however, that the field would drop much below that 1 figure.
 Track Will Be Heavy ! Unless the sun, wind and the track crew can perform a miracle, the track will be heavy with mud when the Derby field goes to the post about 4:50 o'clock, central standard ! time, or 8 few minutes later. The rains of the last three days soaked i the racing strip so that there is not even a remote possibility that it will 1 be better than slow.

Ranked against them are Misstep, Bobashela, Marty Flynn, Lawley, Petee Wrack, Vito, Jack Higgins, Strolling Players, Distrac- ton, and others considered outsid CTS.
 Toro, which lost the Preakness to Victorian q week ago by an uncon- ceivably close margin, is rated as the real threat of the race.
 Hordes of visitors began arriving hourly today as soon as the sun be gan peeking over the horizon.

POLICE BAFFLED BY LITTLE BRUNO Believe Boy Is Talking Through
 His Hat" STILL SEARCHING IN RIVER Hunt For His Playmate But Don't know What To Believe After Four Different stories Told to Crcdulou, Authorities.
STILL SEARCHING IN RIVER

Chicago, May 19 P,-A lot of people who have spent the week chasing boxcars, moving sand piles, pursuing phantom kidnaper and dragging the Chicago river, reached the definite conclusion today that eight-year- old Bruno Bogdon has been talking through his hat.
 Bruno is the boy upon whom everyone depended for information that would lead to the finding, alive or dead, of Johnny Pyrek, s. miss ing since Monday. Bruno saw John- ny put into a freight car. So they began looking all over the North westerns system for him. Then Bruno decided his playmate had not been put in a freight car at all. but had been buried in a sandpile; so they moved 10000 tons of sand. Not . finding Johnny, they questioned Bruno again and learned that John- ny had been kidnapped by big boy. Detectives got busy. and finally Bruno decided that his playmate had fallen in the river. and police started dragging it.
 1 Police Are Puzzled ! Police, feeling much like print i CTS apprentice who had wandered all over town looking for rubber type and italic quads. decided re. gretfully last night that Bruno and Hans Christian Andersen had much in pnnuop fThpv fool. tho how tr the municipal psychopathic labora. tory where Dr. William dickson re
 fused to give them any comfort
 Bruno, he said. was normal mental
 ly. Dr. Hickson expressed the opin ion that the boys final story was tn
 true one--that Johnny had fallel
 into the river.
 The river dragging is being con

The Age of Hope
BY BRUCE CATION

Clarence barrow who laid aside his rose-colored
glasses long ago. thinks we are serious danger Of
losing freedom
1.-THE yearnng and desire for freedom come from
the poor" he says. 1.-THE rich have it anyway and
don't about it. Freedom and liberty produce
wealth, and wealth destroys liberty.
Liberty can't live long in a rich country"
There is no denying that rich country.
Are we, as Darrow says, getting to the point where
don't what happens to our liberties so long
as we continue to make money? great many stu
dents of the times share Darrow'S fears.
1t isn't surprising that they do. For the new is
always strange and bit terrifying. And we in the
United States have embarked new kind of life.
We are building up culture that is not like any cul
ture that ever appeared before 1t is founded on a
new basis; the removal from the path of every man
of every material discomfort that science or ma
chinery conquer
OF course, we haven't perfected it yet There are
still slums in big cities; there are still the soft
coal fields for instance where thousands of men and
women fighting dire want But we have gone
far. The average laboring man in America has more
luxuries than the rich man had generation ago.
We don't often comprehend what a revolution
/thiS has involved Did you ever realize that until
very recently it taken for granted by everyone,
that the great bulk of the population of even the
most prosperous country always would be very poor?
Did you realize that everyone not long ago as
sumed that it was impossible to form society in
which the huge majority of inhabitants would not
be forever submerged in poverty?
We have gotten away from that. Without exactly
meaning to, we have set up society a new
oasis. we nave QeclCeQ CnaC prosperity can eXCenQ
to ALL We take it for granted that carpenters and
masons who building Mouse shall drive to work
in their automobiles automobiles that are often
more expensive than the of the man whose house
they building. We take it for granted that q
factory hand may buy a radio, deck his wife in
stylish clothes and send his boy to college if he
fit.
And all of this means that we are erecting an
entirely new civilization. We have completely re-
verSed of the most fundamental tenets of all
other cultures, No wonder that some men, like Mr..
Darrow get pessinistic! Our new edifce can not
be measured by the old yard-stcks.
But there is reason for hope than for dis
couragement. We are making for ourselves new
freedom-freedom from material cares from priva-
ton, from heartbreaking worry from the chains of
want. We are broadening our horizons why should
think that The vision of spiritual freedom need
be lost?
This is not s.n age for pessimsts. 1t is an age of
hope. We are on the threshold of new day. The
cleaning Skyscap of great cities are symbolic
