Twenty-four years in this line en-
ables him to anticipate the very
need for such an occasion.
The two-story funeral nome was

for a funeral home and conse-
quently 1t Is well arranged.
A complete new set Of equipment

Hearse and ambulance service is
offered "a hours a day. The garage
Is located in such a manner that

out, Is an important item in a
death call. The firm does
not limit itself to Brownsville. but
will answer calls anywhere in the
Valley.
All embalming Is done by a
licensed embalmer.

cause it is a private car and chauf-

The doorman quickly opens the

her warmly into the car. Half of the

the Soviet grapevine is furnishing an
inspiring shade for sweated American
workers, and these American workers
are firing of wage slavery and are
turning to the Communist Party for
the only real way out.
Anyhow, had it not been that
American capitalism as whole had
wanted it, and President Hover APP
proved it, the second Fish Commits
sion demanded by Mr.. Fish, would
have been as unknown as the first
one. But Hoover was making the
preliminary propaganda for an at
tack on the Communist Party. He
was preparing for the most gigantic
attack on the workers standard of
living in U. S. history, for drastic
country wide wages cuts. He was pre-
pairing to Illustrate the resistance of
the workers to Wall Streets starva-
ton program by attacking and at
tempting to silence the only leader
ship in fight against this program,
the leadership of the Communist
Party and the revolutionary trade
unions.
So the Fox was allowed to run hith-
er and yon, everywhere yelping
against the Soviet. against the Red
Grapes that now are-to Mr. Fox Fish
but poison berries and sour as vim
egar.
When Boris Z. Skvirsky testified
before the Fish Committee, he men
toned the fact of Mr.. Fish trying
to get Soviet orders and gcnig to
Moscow with that nefarious inten-
ton. But Mr.. Fish quickly changed
the subject. and later had the state
ment removed from the record. In
fact, Mr.. Fish removed from the rec
ord everything which he did not like.
The moral Of this fable Of the Fox
and the grapes is this: Would Mr..
Fish, If he had received some nice
contracts before 1926, be the same
sour-grape red-baiter that he now is?

Cropping through the meagre news
about Communist advances in China
is the fact that a revolutionary senti-

in the past few days are the clash

and the mutiny of a whole regiment
stationed in the Hoifung- Likfung area

the Communists.
The news Of the mutiny accidental

killed three officers and wounded

I next cruise up Fifth Ave, watch

the hackmen off every other corner.
The hackmen curse the cops Ito
themselves and tell each other how
poorly they've made out. I finally
get tired of cruising and park on
some corner where there is no Of
