when Tink REVERE was in his prime.
When Sisters eyes went back on
him, Ced was hailed as a great find
mt first. However, lie was later sold
to- the Yankees and there had an
understudy Job TO one OF the great
est outfields in the history Of base
ball. He got into a couple OF world
series games and on one occasion
slapped the pill over the wall for
a home run. The Yanks sold him
to Boston. He's back in the minors
now. It's great thinking back over
the old days in Austin.
CEDRIC'S mother vas very reli-
gious and opposed TO his playing
ball on Sundays. Ced couldn't keep
away from the diamond sport and
played on Sundays under an as
sumed name. One day his mother
asked him who the boy was knock
ing all those home run In the Sum

her IL was he. IF you like baseball
that much" his mother said, go

Demand Liquid Assets"
In the present business world. the
former executive said, bankers demand
liquid assets, term which has been
perverted during the past decade or so
TO mean bonds, which are the very
opposite of quick assets as understood
when the Federal Reserve System was
adopted"
Bankers have been driven to with
draw their investments from the farm
ers and small trade people to invest in
bonds" he said, so that their assets
might remain liquid" Mortgages, he
asserted, were once regarded as good
paper by the banks, but now they have
become little more than frozen assets
IN the eyes Of the financiers.
Must Restore Faith,
mo one likes frozen assets, but the
banks, at the urge of the authorities,
have been buying bonds, foreign and
others, because, as we are told, they can
be sold upon the New York Stock Ex-
change" he asserted. These bonds
never freeze, it Is true, but many of
them have evaporated into thin air, and
predict that If we ever return to
sanity, those frozen assets of TODAY
will be the basis of our financial re-
covery, and not those so-called LIQUID
assets.
I'VE have got to restore our faith In
these fundamental things before we
shall emerge from this depression"

GANG PAIR GIN TRIAL
FOR CHILD Staying
Prosecution Will Demand
Chair for Giordano and
Coll.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, December s.-The lives
of two gangsters were placed on the
scales of justice today to be balanced
against the life Of 5-year-old Michael
vengaH. killed July 20 by volley OF
bullets poured into a group Of children
playing In Harlem street.
Shortly before the trial Of Vincent
Coll, Bronx gang leader, and Frank
Giordano, his lieutenant, went through
its initial stages, Assistant District At
torney James T. Neary announced:
I'VE shall demand that the lives OF
these two gangland murderers be for
feited in the electric chair"
Giordano already has been sentenced
to die in the chair during the week OF
January for another gangland muir
der, in which Joseph Mullen, beer keg
checker, was slain.
There was some question whether
Giordano could be brought into court
from his death cell at Sing Sing for
the trial today. But . writ Of habeas
corpus was issued compelling hts pres
ence.
The gangland execution squad killed
Little Michael VengalI and wounded
four other children. who nave since re-
covered, but entirely missed its target
q rival gangster.
As their intended victim stepped from
a store, the gangsters swung their car
around the corner
Several guns blazed
Michael was killed and the four other
children, one in a baby carriage, were
hit. But the man who the gangsterz
sought dropped fat at the FIRST volley
and escaped unhurt.
On October 4, Coll, Giordano and Z
group Of their henchmen, were arrested
The next day the grand jury indicted
them.

Why people like

"Our guest meals'-the menus on
which our patrons can have a sec
ond helping of any. dish--or even a
third, if they want it--have been q
tremendous success" a vice presi-
dent of Childs told US. But I think
You could say there are three main
reasons behind the popularity of
Childs. First, the food is cooked in
small quantities-no standardized
taste. Second, having the kind of
service that makes people like to eat
IN our restaurants. Third, a really
high standard of purity in food and
everything else. That's where Ameri-
can Ice comes in--your filtering the
water four times before freezing
naturally appeals to u.s."
