A group of carolers and choristers.
The play took place in a far
away country on Christmas Eve of
an Olden Day, perhaps in the six
teenth century.
1t was the story of two poor boys
who wanted to go to the Cathedral
to hear the chimes ring, but their
mother told them that they must
have rich gifts to give. However,
the boys decided to go and they
told their mother that they would
stand in the corner where no one
would see them.
On their way to the Cathedral
they passed an old woman lying in
the snow half frozen. The older
boy said that he would stay with
her and the little boy could go tc
the church.
After everyone had taken theil
rich gifts to the altar and the con.
gregation was singing, the small
boy took his two pennies to the
altar causing the chimes to ring.

FDR Denies Intention TO Send U. 5.
Troops Beyond Frontiers But Says
Law Should Not Limit His Power

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Aug. 8.
(UPl-PreSident Roosevelt gave his
assurances today that the chances
are 100 to l against American reg
ular troops or national guardsmen
ever being assigned to active SER
vice outside of the continental
United States or its possessions.
The president gave a press con-
ference warning, however, that re-
strictions on the national guard
bill such as were rejected by the
senate yesterday might impose tenn
porary, paralyzing barriers on the
foreign policy of the United States
at some time of great emergency
Mr.. Roosevelt was commenting
on the bill passed II to 7 by the
senate yesterday. empowering him
TO call the national guard and the
reserves into federal service and
assign them to any part of the
entire western hemisphere.
He was reminded that Sen.
Charles L. McNary, Republican
presidential candidate, voted
for an amendment that would have
restricted the presidential power
to assign the guardsmen solely to
the continental United States and
its possession. The senate defeated
that amendment before it sent the
Dill to the house.
Mr. Roosevelt said that the SIM
pie answer to the situation preci-
pitated by the unsuccessful amend
-ment is this: as in the case of
betting odds, it is 100 to l that
national guardsmen never will

Jaws stopped moving and his head

About three minutes later he gave

dead at $40.
The prison chaplain, Lambreth
Hancock. who had become a close
friend of the youth, said he was
very fine
The chaplain's statement would
have been appreciated by Burgun-
der, because at the time he was
arrested for the murders. he said
that all he feared was that I won't
be able to take the gassing like a
