two blues.

COX AND STEELE
Win At STADIUM

After many grunts and growls
and a kangaroo kick or two, one OF
two possible opponents for the
title grapple contest with Bronko
Nagurski here was revealed at
Griffith Stadium last night in the
weekly wrestling card.
It will be either Joe Cox or Ray
Steele, if publicity gags mean any
thing, because Cox slammed Jack
Patterson to Inconsistencies and
Steele tossed Reb Russell.
Cox proved the big bad wolf last
night by working on Patterson
with the aid of the ring ropes.

T If the people Of Washington
really want to reduce automobile
accidents, then they will lend
their support to q bill coming
before Congress, that would re-
quire every motorist in the Dis
trict to have a Semi-annual in
spection Of the mechanical con-
dition Of their machines.
Some Of the automobile asso-
Citations and clubs are bitterly
opposing this bill as an "un-
necessary" additional burden
on the motorist Of Washington.
The motorist Of Washington is
going to pay his share Of the
local tax for the privilege Of
owning an automobile, and he is
going to pay just so much, 50
why shouldn't he pay a small
sum that not only insures the
safe mechanical condition Of
his m achine, but Of the
thousands Of others among
which he must drive every day?
# we are really serious about
wanting to reduce the number
Of accidents in this city, then
we will not only support this bill,
but we will seek one which
would require ompulsory
liability insurance. Such a law
would rid our streets Of many
irresponsible drivers who do not
have enough to carry such in
Surance, and don't even have
enough to keep their car in safe
condition.

years. There's no degree Of
hunger or rags, obscurity or stu

fectly frank-I frequently felt
just as burned about it as you
do. And wasted many an hour,
just as you are wasting 'em,
splitting big, wet tears Of self
pity over myself.
I resented those hours once.
I thought it was cruelty unfair
that any one should have to go
through the years like a home
less cur, with never a thrill Of
beauty or throb of adventure.
In fact, I was so furious at such
a system that I suddenly got
wise to myself-and saw the
Truth. Which was what? Just
this:
THAT NO MAN OR WOMAN

to tell such creatures that they
can walk free, achieve power

THEY CAN DARE TO DOUBT!
THEY CAN DARE TO DEFY!
