Named Chico, but not Marx, the
Hangers newest star, with his
partner, Ted Valentine, well
known ventrilloquist, has made
more of a hit with Hangar guests
than any number of chorines,
blues singers, or adagio teams.
For Chico is no ordinary voice

personality, threatening even to
eclipse the fame of Beaming Bill
Levy, who, with his brother Ber-
ME, runs the club. Because of his
wooden nature, nothing ever an
noys Chico. Heckling, droning
airplanes overhead, and the pop
of corks Chico takes in his stride,
particularly the heckling, which
he encourages with a running fire
of extemporaneous gags that often
stops the show.
However, Chico is not the entire
Hangar revue. Other headlined
acts include Virginia Walters and
Ada Louise, dancers; the Lady in
Gold; La VesS and Mango, adagio
team; Roy Mills, tenor; and, Of
course, Al Howard and his Hangar
band.

TODAY IN HISTORY

A MOMENTOUS day in history is not al
L ways sensed at the hour of the happen
ing. Sometimes the significance is seen only
after time has fashioned perspective.
Today. however. it is safe to say, is one OF
those occasions. It is the day on which the
first veto message since our nation was formed
is delivered in person by President.
In that appearance the chief executive faces
an issue that is dynamite to politicians, every
tradition Of which is to put the fear of pow
erful. organized and srticulate minority into
the hearts of those who live of votes.
Now a President, by the very nature of
things. must also be a politician. His own
party is wavering and breaking behind him
and talking of compromise. Into such set
ting the President steps. The job takes cour-
age of q sort seldom seen in public life.
Real courage is momentous in itself. And
the questions Standardization, and law
making by minority pressure-are momentous.
So we venture into the zone of prophecy
and predict tina, this day will live.

LIKE GOOD OLD DAYS!

CTUDYING the news from Europe, one is
~ almost persuaded sometimes that grim
and implacable fate is at work, compelling
men to duplicate the costly errors of former
days.
One of the most recent dispatches from
overseas told how Great Britain has at last
begun a race to match Germany's expansion
Of her air force. Production has been speed
ed up. plane and engine manufacturers Lave
been forbidden to accept foreign orders, and
a new defense program is to be presented
to the House of Commons.
Given the present state of international
politics, it is hard to see what else the British
can do; and yet-is not the whole thing hor-
ribly like the Anglo-German naval race of
pre-war days?
That competition paved the way for war
that almost wrecked both nations. Will the
new competition in aerial fleets have the same
results?

EDUCATING THE BIG CITY

THERE is something rather melancholy
u about this stunt by which a portable
barn" with an assortment of farm animals
is being transported about in New York City
so that children from the pavements can get
an idea of what COWS, sheep. and barnyard
fowl really look like.
Living in a city offers many advantages,
of course; but this stunt does emphasize some
of the disadvantages which arise when city
life is made too confirming
A child brought up under circumstances
which keep it ignorant of the simplest of facts
about rural life so that it won't even know
what a COW looks like unless some one Tugs
one around and exhibits it-such a child SIM
ply isn't getting a fair start in life.
OF course, there's nothing especially in
spring about the sight of a COW. But city
pavements make poor substitute for grassy
meadows, and the mere fact that this porta
BILE barn arrangement is making such stir
speaks volumes about the artificial condi
ton under which some city children live.

All ingredients for stock market boom seem
to be at hand-including the cheerful pres
ence Of Major Angas.
But We might as well remember that on our
last Joy ride We not only wrecked the auto
mobile, but came uncomfortably close to break
ing our necks.
The danger lies in the chance that we may
again mistake a rising stock market for an
end in itself rather than a symptom.
A rising market does not bring prosperity.
Prosperity brings rising market. To put our
chief energies into stimulation of market
values would be to reach for the shadow and
ignore the substance.
1t would be like the janitor of the country
schoolhouse who suggested that on cold DAYS
the thermometer be tied to the stovepipe, so
that it would register suitably high tempera-
lures.
If a high temperature in the thermometer
is all we want, we can have it. If We have
the good sense to demand that the room itself
be comfortably warm, the thermometer read
ings will take care of themselves.
In other words-if stock prices are going
up fine and dandy; that must indicate re-
gaining of business health and confidence.
So long as we don't drop everything and
rush of to lash the thermometer to the stove
pipe, everything will be all right.

HITLER-BLACK Is WHITE
Id scRTrPs-HoMARp NEWsPAPEI

A S usual everybody is out Of step but Adolf.
L Herr Hitler yesterday dehed the family of
nations which joined in the Geneva censure
o. his treaty violations. He is just an inno-
cent, peace loving person, misunderstood by all
the rest Of the world according to his own
account. Well maybe. But he will have to
change his tactics before those outside the
range Of his terrorists viii believe him.
That is one thing he has never learned. 1t
may be just too bad, but the fact is that peo-
pie Judge others by deeds rather than words.
And Hiuers words. foggy as they are, can not
becoud his acts OF barbarism.
As for his words. they are mostly meaning
less. For instance he proposes to open sys-
tcmatc attack upon the poisoning of public
opinion" through the press. This from the
rch-poisoner Of the press Of all time. To him
free press means on the record press under
absolute control Of ms propaganda ministry
with prison or death for others. And still he
has the quaint notion that the rest Of the
world misunderstands him.
But here is the prize paragraph from his
Reichstag speech:
L hear from the Anglo-Saxon nations that
Germany has deserted democracy. That Is an
error Germany has a democracy"
Hitler was less insulting to democracy when
h had the honesty to state his hatred of the
democracy he destroyed. One can respect the
