 Bremen found the girls body aft CT the blaze almost had destroyed the frame dwelling. Betty died si- lently, perhaps even without a whimper, for when firemen discov- cred the child, her head was buried against the chair.

Advancement in the membership of the Lithuanian Independent Po- litical club has been one of the most noticeable features in the ac- tiyities of the club at 48 Green street. It has taken into it's fold several of the smaller Lithuanian benefit organizations during the past year and now consists of about 1,2OO individual members. The hall occupied by the club is one of the reasons why the smaller clubs are turning over their books and finan- ces. Several were without headquar- ters and it required considerable time and difficulty in keeping the individual club intact.

JIMMY PICKS BAER
BETS ON JOE LOUIS

NEW YORK Several times be-
fore the Baer-Louis fight did jim
my Braddock, champion, predict
that Baer would beat the Detroit
Demon. Once while he was down
South, where it might suspect
ed that the environment caused
him to pick the white man.
But Jimmy wasn't playing fair.
He was picking Baer in the news
papers and betting on Louis at the
betting houses. Both he and his
manager had dough on the Brown
Bomber to WIN.
And say what you will, the
champ win fight Louis unless some
pretty powerful persuasion is used
to cause him to change his mind.
The days are too near when
Braddock and his family were OF.
the relief list. The Brown Bomber
can draw too much money for Jim
my to pass up a bout with him and
this Jimmy will gladly tell you.
When the time comes and the
hours as auspacious for Brad
dock-Louis embroglio, Jimmy will
be glad to sign the papers.
