 OLD DREAM IN BRAZIL
 Brazil was one of the first coun- tries to accept the Roosevelt pro- posal, and is expected to recom- mend that the peace conference be held in Rio dc Janeiro instead of Buenos Aires. The dream of ale American cooperation for peace Is an old one in Brazil, and enthugias- tic help from leaders is expected.
 The American state department is represented as feeling that there is no reason why internal disturb- ances in several countries need in- terfere with the proposal to unite ell for better international relation ships.
 But the confused state of several governments, and preoccupation with their own internal affairs, may tend to slow down negotia- tions leading to such Q conference.
 Several factors favor the pro- posal. Southern neighbors of the United States fear "The Colossus of the North" less today than they have for many years. LESS FEAR OF U. s.
 Recent policies have given good evidence thet the United States has no intention of becoming the bully of the western hemisphere and there is unquestionably Q better feeling than there was in the days Of dollar diplomacy"
 Further, the settlement of the Chaco war brought several nations closer together than they recently have been. Argentina, in taking Q leading role as peacemaker there, drew nearer to its traditional rival, Brazll.
 The spirit of economic co-opera- ton among the South American countries is growing. Thus, many of them are in c receptive mood for tho presidents proposal of closer cooperation for peace.

 NEA Service Stan Correspondent President Roosevelts proposal for on All-American conference to unite efforts ct keeping the peace among all countries of tho western hemis- sphere comes to Q South America which has ct the moment more than It's usual generous share of up- heAVel.
 Although the proposal hes been greeted with applause from both the Americas, several things are be- lteved to stand in the way of com plete and immediate success. One is tho devotion to the League of Ma tions of most of the countries south of the Panama Canal, and their feeling that this move may in some way supplant it. Washington has assured that such conference will reinforce rather than weaken the leagues actions for peace.
 Tho other bar is tho ruffled state of many of the countries invited to take part. Tn recent months, civil disturbances have been taking place at rather more than tho usual Lat- in-Ameriean rate.
 PARAGUAY VETERANS RISE
 Most recent was the post-war up- heaval in Paraguay, just beginning to recover from the exhausting Chaco war. A nucleus of war vets erans, disgusted ct the conduct and outcome of tho bloody jungle war, and backed by students and intel- loctuais, has overthrown the gov. ernment and put to flight President Ayala and some of his cabinet mem. bers. Col. Rafael Franco, popular wartime Idol, Is expected to return from tho Argentine to head 6 new government.

 T'hero is as yet no general cohe' sion In the movement and there may never Do, but the essential nucleus for such party is the American labor movement and it Is believed that if Lewis obtains control of the A. ?. Of L., q labor party will be here to stay.
 Probably there is more labor sentiment for such party now than ever before, although most OK. ponenb of third party thought fa- vor recollection of Roosevelt this year to avoid what they term Q "reStoration of reactionary Re. publicanism."
 Planning for Future
 The idea of running Marcan- tonio or another radical for mayor of New York next year isn't accompanied by any hope of vic- tory. But it's ambitious enough Those who harbor it--and it may or may not come oif--feel that Il Q labor candidate could poll, say 3b0,000 votes, tho psychological effect over the country would be sufficient to stimulate organization for 1888 elections.
 The New York situation is
 cloudy, however (Marcantoni0
 and LaGuardia, for instance, gre
 at swords points, and no one
 knows how fer the former can
 get), 50 ips silly t0 prophecy. Most third party pIans may be
 considered in the huddle, or hot
 cir, stage, but it is quite likely that there will De labor party or similar tickets for state ofIices thIs year in states besides Wis. C0nsln and Minnesota, where control already has been won by the Progressive and FarmersLas bor parties, respectively.
 There B b possibility that Hey wood Droun will run for governor Of New York as labor party can' didate. with the sim of polling tiie 10000 votes needed to put the partys ticket on the ballot ir the 1898 elections.
 Practicing His Preachings
 Herbert Hoover's recent recoFlaa mendation that, because of the dan. gers of monetary imitation, institu- tons hedge their holdings insecur. tiles payable in dollars by purchas. ing common stocks, real estate, and other non-Fnoney values, was mol made for political effect.

winner of both the Kentucky derby
and the Preakness, will receive his
final test of greatness when he faces
both Brevity and Granville in the
Belmont stakes June 6.

Granville in the Preakness Satur-
day, becoming thereby the fifth
horse in history to capture both the
Pimlico and Churchill features.
Sir Barton, Gallant Fox, Burgoo
King and Omaha were the others.
The Bold One" was returned to
his Belmont Park quarters yester-
day. Trainer Max Hirsch said that
he would not ship the colt west for
the Latonia derby next Saturday,
and that there was consequently a
bare possibility that he would be
entered in the Withers stakes to
compete with Brevity at Belmont.
Granville's ineligibility for the With
ers prevents a comparison with
Brevity before the Belmont stakes.

WARNING
TO MOTORISTS

LUGUREs don't lie! Every year thou
J. sands of motorists are killed or
injured when blow-outs throw cars
out of control. To trust to luck when
it comes to tires is to invite serious
and costly accident-or worse!
Motorists who ignore the danger of
blow-outs are making a big mistake.
Because at today's high speeds terrific
heats generated inside the tire. Rub
Der and fabric begin to separate. A
tiny blister forms. Bigger and BIGGER
grows this invisible blister. Then it's
just a matter of time when, BANG!
A blowout!
Toprotectyou against such danger,
every new Goodrich Silvertown is
built with the Life-Saver Golden Ply,
a layer of special rubber and full
floating cords, scientifically treated to
resist internal tire heat. By resisting
this heat the Golden Ply keeps rub
ber and fabric from separating-it
keeps blisters from forming. And
when you prevent the blister you
prevent the high-speed blowout.
Right now is the time to fix your
car for safe summer driving by put
ting on a set of Goodrich Safety
Silvertowns. They cost no more than
other standard tires. Come in TODAY.

Fish Take Spotlight
Even Novice Can Hook 'em in Oshkosh
Papa Bass in Lead
By HENRY McLEMORE
BY HENRY McLEMORE

OSHKOSH, Wis, May 18. UP)-
The fish with its pop eyes and
empty stare, is rapidly becoming
the most glorified vertebrae in our
national picture.
1t is difficult these days to find
a city which does not set aside at
least one day a year to pay hom-
age to one fish or another. West
Palm Beach has its sailfish derby
Venice -Nokomis dances in the street
to honor the tarpoon. There are
Mackerel Mardi Grass. salmon
soirees, trout tournaments. and
shad shindigs. In the little mat
ter of getting days IN its honor, the
fish is way out front of Washing
ton, Lincoln, and ST. Switben
They get but one-the fish get
dozens.
Oshkosh is now in the thrOes OF
white bass festival. Bunting
which hasn't been used since the
Fourth of July is wrapped around
the lampposts A young lady has
been thrown into the delightful
glare of the spotlight as Miss
Queen of the White Bass. Bands
play m5st Of the day. A holiday
spirits hangs heavy over the city.
The white bass festival begins
each year on the 18th OF May,
when the bass, for a reason known
only to fish-andgame editors on
papers with circulation larger
than 100000 start swimming up the
Fox river which runs through the
middle Of Oshkosh. Led by a
bell-Wether. Cr father OF the flock,
they come by the millions. The
city has an appointed baSs-spotter
who stands at the mouth Of the
river and who. the minute the bell
Wcther bass rms his bell OF sports
or does Whatcpcr white bass
does to announce its arrival, sig
mails the citizens. There is an i'm
mediate rush to the river and the
fishing begins. The bass are so
numerous, and 50 hungry, that
even a novice has no trouble In
catching the limit before he real
izes that the white bass is not a
game fish, and therefore no sport.
The crowd that greeted the op-
ening Of the festival in Oshkosh
reminded me Of New York City's
great fishing fiesta Of two years
ago, when a few hundred trout
were released in the Harlem river
up by the Yankee stadium. An
nouncement Of the stocking of the
Harlem was made in the papers,
and the following morning up
wards Of half a million Bronx
sportsmen were packed 20 deep at
spots, and as most of them never
had cast in their lives, accidents
We're numerous. The best of the
casters in the last roy;s could hope

for was to hook an car. an elbow,
or the Scrutf of neck. More
than 200 of the fishermen suffer-
ed injuries which sent them to the
hospital.
Not one single fish was caught
all day. 1t was believed the trout,
unaccustomed to the inch OF oil
which coats the beautiful Harlem,
or the grapefruit rinds, bee springs,
and old tires which laugh and
dance in its eddies, swan ashore to
die a clean, if gasping death on
land
The failure Of the fishermen to
catch one of the trout resulted in
no little confusion for the sponsors
Of the trout tournament, as it was
called, were left with the trophies
they had planned to present to the
catchers of the largest fish, the first
fish. and the last fish. After much
debate it was decided to award the
prizes, anyway. The gold button for
the first catch went to a furniture
salesman who, using very light
tackle, landed a seven pound rubber
boot after two hour fight. The
bronze plaque for the heaviest catch
went to a housewife who, employ
ing only a handline hooked and
brought to gaff a 1924 motorcycle
motor. She refused TO be photo
graphed with her catch until she
had caught a pair Of seven pronged
handlebars to be mounted with it.
