An optimist, if you like. am not ashamed

optimistic about America. The mere size of
the country inspires him - the fact that after
a whole night on the train he can still be in
Texas, the eagerness of Americans to tell you
the population of their town or the cost of
their new high school. People enjoy counting
their possessions on rising market on fall

try to forget.
1t is unique blend of imagination and
practicality that gives plates of different
oolors to cars of different states. Americans,
unlike almost every other race, love to pro-
claim themselves far from home; are eager to
satisfy as we'll as excite curiosity about

perhaps the germ of new world feeling when

as reasonably certain as that two trains, if
you set them moving toward each other on

Thus, by the accident of geography, America

will escape the utmost, almost unlmaglnable
destruction that threatens Europe - destruc-
ton that may reduce that continent to the
social and moral standards of the Dark Ages.
This escape would be blessing, whatever the
type and traditions of American life; but it is
divine accident of history, added to that of
geography, that may make the gift priceless

the optimists, the life changers - the mixture
out of which destiny, given a chance, can
distill human betterment.
To me, an Englishman who loves England
also, America means this ray of hope breaking
through gathering storm clouds - the hope
that the best of Englishness and Europeanism
can be here remolded nearer to the hearts

America - strong, ardent, unafraid. For
what has America to be afraid Of? Not of

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON W RIIRGESS

Peter Rabbit didn't know just

tning was to be told by the look on
ms lace. Peter had just told Slow
foKe That Jimmy Skunk had gone
over to the Green Forest and he
fe1er. suspected that it was to look

worried look had come to Slow Poke
and ne said that he knew that that

But even If this was quite true
why should Slow Poke be worried? ?

That is, it is mine and Mrs. Slow

Peter knows when it is useless
to keep on asking questions. Also,
he knows when he has been sat on,
as the saying is. Il think" said
he, that I must be moving along

your acquaintance and I hope we

He said this very politely and
Evening star., 1939-06-21

Goodness gracious, Peter! What
under the sun makes you think I
am worrying about her?" exclaimed
Slow Poke. Mrs. Slow Poke is quite
able to take care of herself. I
haven't the least worry in the world
so far as she is concerned. Jimmy
Skunk can't hurt her. She is as
safe this minute as I am. 1t isn't

him that Mrs. Slow Poke was just
as well protected as Slow Poke?
Certainly he had. If that was the
case Jimmy couldn't harm Mrs
Slow Poke if he wanted to. So why
should Slow Poke worry?
Peter Stroked his whiskers. After
this he scratched one long ear and
then the other with his long hind
feet. But this didn't help him any
No, sir, 1t didn't help him bit.

long as he was in sight of Slow
Poke he walked slowly, but the min
ute he thought he couldn't be seen
he started ahead pell-mell, lipperty-
lipperty-lip. You see he was in a
hurry to catch up with Jimmy
Skunk. At least he wanted to get
in sight of Jimmy. You see he had
decided that the way to find out
what he so much wanted to know
would be to follow Jimmy and see
what he did.

Peter stopped hurrying. He crept
forward very carefully. That white
thing proved to be just what he sus-

Jimmy Skunk's coat. Peter breathed
little sigh of relief. Now perhaps
he would find out what. Jimmy
Skunk was after.

This wasn't q nice thing to do.
OF course not. Everybody knows
that. But Peter didn't stop to think
of that. He was curious. BY spy

dreadful curiosity. Just then his

So he hurried after Jimmy Skunk

Upset by Terror
As Fans Baw|
CIouts Mat Rival With
Cane, Stool, Then Takes

The Golden Terror threw another
party last night at the Arena in the
feature bout Of the weekly muscle
fest. The party's name was Laverne
Baxter-and he didn't like the idea
Neither did several hundred fans
who gathered in executive session
Immediately after the brief bout and
debated tearing down the building.
But Laverne got in some good licks
before passing out Of the picture.
Once he returned to the Enclosure,
after being unceremoniously thrown
to the ringside wolves, brandishing
a walking stick, which he used with
great vigor on his antagonist. He
batted cool 1000 before the referee
interfered. Again, after being tossed
out Of the ring, he returned bearing
a formidable looking stool, which
also found its mark on the Terror's
lumpy skull.
But knighthood wasn't in flower
last night and the transgressing
Terror finally clamped a sweaty
bear-hug on Laverne, hauled him to
the canvas and held his painting
frame there while the referee tolled
the necessary tree" and the crowd
bawled for a recount.
Baxter, however, had no one to
blame for his downfall but himself
inasmuch as the Terror grabbed him
when Laverne was industriously
shredding the referees shirt during
q dull moment on the program.
In the remaining bouts Sammy
Stein tossed Red Ryan in Is minutes;
Chief Chewaki pinned Dutch Schultz
in 1919; Dropkick Murphy whipped

'Brannigan' Expected

BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press SPORTS Write,

NEW YORK, May 12.-Fight fans
are expecting a genuine. old-fash-
ioned brannigan when Billy Conn Of
Pittsburgh and Solly Krieger Of
Brooklyn tie up in q 12-rounder to-
night in Madison Square Garden.
Chances are they won't be disap-
pointed.
Souy. recognized by the National
Boxing Association as middleweight
champion, has promised to knock his
young and handsome opponent cold.
Conn, the finest nght-heavyweight
prospect to come along In many a
day. Is equally confident Of ptnning
the tough Kriegers battered ears
back.
Conn Pronounced Fav0rite,
Conn, who agreed to enter the ring
at not over 172 pounds. is a pro-
nounced favorite. largely the result
Of his two sizzling victories over Fred
Aposton In the Garden last winter.
Krieger, though the lighter, is more
rugged than Conn and q nercer
puncher.
This VIII be their third meeting.
Krieger won the first without much
trouble and had Conn on the floor.
The Pittsburgh kid came back to
grab the second. Just after Krieger
had knocked out AL Hostak for the
N. B. A. title. Kreger claims he was
all let down for that one and couldn't
get going.
Result Important to Both.
80 this should be quite a scramble,
maybe as bloodthirsty as Conn's last
argument with Aposton when they
lost their heads and slugged like
longshoremen. Conn still bears an
angry scar under each eye from that
one.
The result is important to both Of
them. Krieger is looking forward to
q big outdoor shot against Apostoli
this summer. when his N. B. A. title
and Apostoli's New York State crown
will be at stake. Conn is in line for
shot at Melio Bettina's light
heavyweight diadem.
