I'll bring my flashlight,' said
Uncle Wiggily. Soon he and his wife
were on their way along the wood
land path and the rabbit gentleman
made his little electric flashlight
tleam in the dark places so he and
the lady rabbit didn't stumble and
fall.
Mr.. and Mrs. TWistytail were very

Floppy, the two piggie boys, had
gone to bed and so had Squeakie

folks had a quiet evening. They
talked and after a while Mrs.
Twistytail set out something to eat.
Uncle Wiggily and his wife mad

that it was late before they knew

LET HIN FADE OUT

Whether Mr.. Max Baer retained his
heavyweight championship last night. or,
as it turned out, lost it, the world would
have gone on Just the same today, dis
turbed not at all by the change IN the
pugiiStic ranks
But a major upset in a field that at
tracts the attention of millions of per-
sons iustifies some comment.
The spirit that prevailed at the scene
of the fight was reflected throughout the
nation as millions listened to the battle
as it came over the radiO-practlcally
unanimous support for the underdog, the
man who didn't have a chance, the man
whom many hoped might be able to stay
the limit as a reward for his pluck and
his bulldog determination = Jimmy
Braddock.
His victory is popular one and we be-
lieve the popularity is justified IN view
of the smart-alecky career of his oppon-
ent ever since he first came into public
notice. Baer has been no great credit to
sport which needs all the credit 1t can
possibly get
His indecent remark given in an inter
view in the dressing-rOom after the
fight, and heard by millions over the ra-
dio. stamps Baer for what he is, better
than ANYTHING we could write here. Why
the radio people let him get away with
it is difficult to understand and war
rants putting somebody ION the carpet
for a reprimand. The sooner he is
dumped permanently on the pugilistic
scrap-heap the better for the game. He

what he is to what he should be.

the party had been routed in the
worst defeat of its history.
The future appeared dark and
gloomy. 1t is different now.
The Senate's decisive defeat of
the World Court, its protracted
war with the President over the
work-relief bill, the growing signs
of rebellion in the Democratic
majority in the House, the purge
of the AAA liberals and the re-
cent rise of Huey Longs third
party movement-all these have
brought cheer and hope to the
G.. 0. P.
At the opening Of the session,
Republican leaders were apollo
getic and on the defensive. Now
they are assertive and scrappy.
In Republican cloakrooms the
dopesters have it all figured out
just how the Elephant will stage
its comeback next year.
This is their line of reasoning:
The Presidential race will be a
three-way contest between Mr..
Roosevelt, the Louisiana King
fish and a Republican.
Huey will break up the Solid
South" taking three and possible
five states from the President. In
the West, Long will also cut in
heavily. In large industrial CEN
tiers, where there Is much unem-
ployment, he will also split the
Roosevelt vote.
These losses, G.. o. P. master
minds argue, will so weaken the
President that the Republican
candidate will be able to snatch
the prize.
This, Of course, Is pure theoriz-
ing, but in inner White House
circles 1t is viewed with some
concern.

Il Africa. Britain took over German East Africa.
South Africa, one of the British family of nations
seized the territory down there. Australia and
Japan took charge of Germanys islands in the Pa

Germany demands an outlet for surplus popula-

terials. She has vast end growing merchant
marine which must have cargo. Colonies might be
the answer to all this.
Germany, however, is not expected to demand
back the inundated islands in the Pacific held by
Japan. She would let Japan retain them in return
for threatening Russia in the Far East The return
of the Saar, Herr Hitler pledged, closed Germany's

ten years.
Elsewhere, however, he is doubtless open to an
offer, in return for Germanys presence at Geneva.
