passengers annually-the need for
underground motor arteries has be-
come more and more acute Plans
also are under consideration for "ex-

The new Lincoln tube signals the
third conquest of the Hudson within
the past decade, joining the $50, 900 900
Holland tunnel and the $4,000, 900

from this auxiliary toy-igloo of Santa
Claus
Reminded of ScrawIed Pleas.
As the women wrap the toys they
think about the scrawled note sent
last week to Santa Claus and delivered
to the PIT. A., reminding the man
from the North Pole to be sure to
stop at the red house boat near the
foot of K street" And they think of
the letter from the woman who wrote:
MY husbands bin out of work six
months. I got five children and I
would like for them to have Christmas,
even though my daughter Ava says,
Nom, don't want to ask Santa
Claus for nothing. Just as long as
We have a good dinner for you and
daddy and us Christmas Day, I think
that's fine"

who can't afford to finance their own

Shanghai. China-Both Japan
csc and American officials realize
the serious situation arising from
Japan's admission that the bomb
ing of the U. s. gunboat Panay was
ordered by Colonel Hashimoto. ap-
parently with . fun knowledge Of
its consequences. Although the in
cident has been placed directly be-
fore Emperor Hirohito, it is be-
leved that Hashimoto's political
following is too strong to permit of
his punishment. The fall of Nam
king, ancient capitol Of China, was
followed by scenes of indescribable
barbarity on the part of the Japan
csc invaders. Military observers of
civilized nations In the war zone
were FRANC in their expressions of
horror at the savagery exhibited by
japanese soldiers, who dashed out
the brains Of innocent children be-
fore the eyes of mothers subse-
quently ravished, and devoted
themselves to a reign of pillage and
devastation unprecedented in
modern warfare. The indemnity
for wanton destruction of life and
property of neutral nations in the
war zone will paralyze Japan as an
industrial nation for generations.
Throughout England and this coun-
try merchants are publicly burning
their stocks of japanese goods.

don't believe football training is of
much value when 1t comes to play
ing basketball, but the way Pros
ser blocked our players out of the
game the first half would certain

football coach. a
The Lions showed lots of inn
provement in foul shooting Fri
day night. Don Doyle certainly is
the hard luck player Of the cur
rent season. Infected blisters and
boils have kept him on the side
lines most all season, and could
Coach Brim have used an extra
guard like Doyle in the Prosser
game?

competition ahead of them. Pass

Everybody in the new league ex-
cept Prosser has been beaten by
