yanIa to prepare for a career in architecture. But the call of meI- sic was in his soul. and a local voice teacher took him in hand. The youth worked so hard he lost his voice and for seven months he could not speak above a whis- per; then his voice returned. Mean time he studied violin in the Curtis Institue of Music. Finding, how ever. that holding the violin under his chin impaired his voice he gave up the instrument and went back to his singing.
 At the age of 19 he sang pro- fessionally for the first time. His voice soon won recognition and he went on tour for a New York the atrical producer. He played in stock in California for Q year and then Broadway saw him in such musi- cal hits as Blossom Time" and "The Student Prince" Having crossed the continent three times in tours that took him into every state in the union, he returned to New York and saw possibilities for his talent in radio. Applying at small broadcasting station he was abruptly switched from the micro- I hear from us later" That later" became five months and then q friend obtained from him an audi tion at the Columbia Broadcasting systems studio where his ability was at once recognized and The Street Singer" was introduced.
 So great Is the range of his voice that he Is frequently asked whether he is q tenor or q baritone and for this question has a reply of his own, 1T am a 'baritenor'." And because he sings in twelve langua- ges, with the accent of a native in each, thousands of listeners have asked his nationality His usual reply is, "Tm international" Ar thur Tracy finds genuine enjoyment in singing and thousands of radio fans have written to say that they feel the singers pleasure. You sing as though you love it," they say. Tracy attributes his popularity as the Street Singer to this gift of sharing his enjoyment with his ra- dio audience.
 His hobby is collecting songs and of these he has more than 6,000 in many languages = German, Polish, Russian, French. Italian, Spanish, and others-even Greek.
 His personal tastes are simple. He is fond of the country, enjoys horses and dogs and rowing, pre- fers to drive himself and is al hard worker at the one job that counts with him-his music. He does not want to be thought of in any other terms. "I can say 1t best" he declares, ''in American slang: I'm just guy who likes to sing"
 At his initial broadcast for Ches- terfeld, Tuesday, August 9th, MT Tracy will sing, Lullaby of the Leaves" Trees" s"Volga Boat Song" Gin Russian), and Lone some Road"

UNCLE WIGGILY'S FLAT TIRE

The next day it wasn't so not.
That is the next day after Uncle
Wiggily had put on his winter suit
to make fun of his friends who
were always talking about the hot
day.

louder than before. And then the
auto began to go bumpity bump.
II think I must have a puncture,"
said Uncle Wiggily. He stopped his
auto, got out and looked at the
two front wheels. The bologna
sausage tires there were round and
fat. Nothing the matter with them.
But when Uncle Wiggily looked
at the right back wheel there he
saw what had happened. A nail
had stuck in the sausage and the
tire was flat.
"Oh, dearl" sighed the rabbit
, gentleman. "a flat tirel What bad
luckl Well I must fix it, 1 sup

Luckily he carried an extra sausage

He had little turnip lunch, but
even that did not fix the flat, and
with a sigh Uncle Wiggily took off
his coat and got ready to make
the change. Before he really
started, along came Mr.. Stubtail,
his jolly old bear gentleman friend.
Mr.. Stubtail was taking a walk.
"Ha, Wiggyl" he growled, Il see
you have a flat tire"
Yes" answered the rabbit gen.

see that without glasses"

one side, the side next to the
ground"
We'll, that's an old joke, and not
very good one," said Mr.. Long

up the wheel with the flat tire.
Before he could do anything
along came waddling Mr.. Twisty-

pig. 81 see you have a flat tire

for a steering wheel and whenever
Uncle Wiggily felt hungry as he
was riding along he just nibbled
the turnip.
The tires were made of round,
flat bologna sausages. And when
ever Mr.. Longears wanted to ride
fast he sprinkled black pepper en-
the sausages If he wanted to 90
extra fast he used red pepper in
stead of black, as that is very
hot stuff.
Goodbye! Good -bye!" called
Mrs. Longears and Nurse Jane to
Uncle Wiggily as he twisted the
turnip and steered his auto down
the road.
Goodbye" he answered. "Ill
be back after while"
So he rode on and on, over the
fields and through the woods. ur
hill and down hill. 1t was a lovely
day. The trees and bushes were
green and soft wind was blowing
All of sudden, as Mr.. Longears
was riding along, he heard a sharp
kissing sound.

Grandfather Goosey Gander.
"Ha! Hal he quacked. "I see
you have a flat time, Wiggy. But
cheer up it is"
Don't you dare say it is only
flat on one sidel Don't you dare!"
cried Mr. Longears and his voice
was so loud and he looked so
strange that Mr.. Stubtail whispered
to the others that they had better
go away and leave Mr.. Longears in
peace, which they did
Uncle Wiggily was pumping the
jack handle when he heard a voice
saying:
"Ha! Ha! I see you have a flat
time. But cheer up it is"
Uncle Wiggily picked up the
wrench, thinking it was another of
his poking friends, but it was the
Bob Cat. And then Uncle Wiggily
was SO brave and angry that in
stead of running away he shook
the wrench at the Bob Cat and
made the Bad Chap fix the flat
tire himself. For once a rabbit
gentleman was braver than a Bob

changed the frightened Bob Cat
sneaked away, wondering what had

BORA,H SULKING?

cENATOR BORAH, as usual, can make
~ folks ask plenty of questions by his
attitude on the presidential campaign.
The Idaho senator, who for years has
been in the senate leadership as a man
who wears no mans collar" right now
has Republican and Democratic leaders
sitting up nights trying to figure out
what he will do.
He refused to attend the Chicago Re-
publican convention, declaring he was
not in sympathy with the proposal to
consider modification of the 18th amend
ment, and desired to show by his alb
sence, his protest against such move
ment.
Following the nomination of Mr..
Hoover and the adoption of a platform.
the senator said he could not support
either, which gave short-lived JOY to the
Democrats, who thought Borah might
be staging a bolt.
This week he announced ne would not
support either Hoover or Roosevelt.
Having sidestepped Il movement by the
ProhibitionistS to nominate him for their
ticket, he announced he could not sup
port the candidate nominated by that
party.
That left Norman Thomas, the Social
ist candidate and William Foster the
Communist candidate, in the field. Now
the senator has declined Thomas as
suitable man, which leaves only Mr..
Foster in the field and independent as
the Idaho senator is, it is hard to pic
ture him as supporting :. Communist.
Above all, the senator has made it
known that he will not support William
E. Borah for senator, which is good news
to Republicans and Democrats alike, for
Borah as candidate on a third party"
ticket, could raise ruction with the rank
and file of both major parties, having
considerable following among them as
we'll as among the independents"
Andy Gump has not as yet made his
usual campaign for the presidency, and
perhaps the gentleman from Idaho is
waiting to see if the long-nosed one will
again hear ''the cry of the people"
1t may be that Mr.. Borah has bought
himself nice new cent and plans on
emulating the example of Achilles. But
if he would only say so it would relieve
the minds of a good many.

umns while in the cabinet. 1t may
be because he is quick TO learn.
When he first took over the cab

quite frankly against the 18th

His silence on the subject came
so abruptly that none doubted some

A COMMUNITY ASSET

ANYTHING that interests upwards of
II 1000 men. women and children of Ell
Centre is of supreme importance to this
community, and it is quite evident that
the night baseball league falls into this
category.
A crowd of approximately the above
proportions witnessed last nights game
with an outside team from San
BernarGino, and spent an hour and half
free from the worries and cares that are
quite prominent in the lives of all of us.
Somebody else was doing the worry
ing this time-the Is men on the ball
field. There was worrying among the
spectators also, OF course, but it was
worry limited to the hope that some one
of the Ell Centro boys would bust ball
out of the park.
1t didn't happen, and though the in
vaders captured the game, that was of
minor Importance in comparison with the
relaxation the game afforded.
1t was crowd representative of Ell
Centro. Mr.. and Mrs. were there; like
wise Jack and Jill Pop, Nom and the
whole family; a goodly number of sum-
mer bachelors and about 'steen thou
sand kids who didn't care whether they
watched the ball game or just raced
from the adult viewpoint, which is the
inherent right of childhood and more
power to them.
This column has had occasion before
to congratulate the baseball league and
all connected with it, for the splendid
entertainment they are providing for the
people of this community.
The grounds have been equipped by
the players themselves, uniforms and
equipment are provided by the various
business houses sponsoring the teams,
and the players services are gratis for
the love of the game and an interest in
promoting clean craftsmanship
The various firms sponsoring the
teams in the league merit the thanks of
Ell Centrans for their generosity. That
goes for the players, of course.
A high standard of behavior is main
tanned, by the players on the field and
by the spectators, which is as it should
be.
Ell Centre has reason to be proud of
and thankful to the league and all who
are interested in its welfare.
