1 club with lockers, showers and so- cial facilities available for comfort and leisure of their customers. Morning hours that do not conflict with public or private school pro- grams are devoted mainly to young i people interested in learning the art of riding. Manhattan has about twenty indoor riding arenas. New York has boroughs that are not so densely populated. These, too, have their share of riding academies whose customers take advantage oi excellent public trails maintained by 1 the city for saddle horses. It seems to me that there are more people i interested in the sport in the less congested places. This may be due to the fact that they are more mo- ticeable by being in public view while doing their riding in daylight . hours.
 Suburban New York, too, has Its share of plain riders and polo play CTS with their fine horses to interest any person that admires swift, four 1 footed action.
 Any comments on horses in and around New York would not be com- plete without some reference to our mounted police whose steeds are better trained than circus horses Some people would dispute this claim. Circus horses are trained to perform specific stunts under orders. A policeman,s horse is subject to all sorts of unexpected happenings that would panic highly trained spe- cialist; crowds that make it almost impossible for horses to find ground space for their four feet, without thought of moving more than an inch; betting and being fed sweets by people that do not know whether it is good for the horses or not; backfring of automobiles; explo- sions; raging fires; sirening patrol cars, fire apparatus and ambu- lances; geyserS of steam, flooded streets and sometimes collapsing walls of buildings. Much the same can be said of cavalry units within the city.
 There is too, in New York, won- derful display of rare saddles and equipment for both horse and rider to be seen in fashionable Saddlery shops like H. Kaufman and Sons at l39 East 24th Street, and Miller Harness O., nearby. Entrances to these places could be mislead ding enough to represent fashionable night clubs. In these several storied buildings are exhibits that are not for sale, as well as new and used merchandise in equestrian shops dude shops, polo shops and saddlery shops all under one roof but each a separate attraction to people sight, seeing as well as buyers who find their way to these places from all parts of the world.

 Pan-American planes sweep in from the north and from the south. German condors dip down from the skies and discharge their Teutonic passengers.

 Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Nov. 10-- After three days of stirring flight over the sky-blue Caribbean and trackless South American jungles to Rio, this is where you board an international political and eco- homie whirligig.
 Americans, BritiSherS, Canadians Germans and other foreigners dash about exuding good will' to more or less bored Brazilians.
 Hopes and fears ebb and flow with the latest news from the Rus so-German front.
 The sun shines on Rios unbe- lievably beautiful harbtor and beaches and men, women and chil- dren loll in the sand.
 In Rio proper there is the din of new construction = evidence o1 the great domestic business boom which all Brazil is enjoying.
 Patient government officials give cocktail parties and luncheon af- ter luncheon for various foreign missions. Brazilians and visiting Elks jam a dozen or more casinos at night and risk their milreis on the whirring wheel and spinning ball.
 Telephones jangle at the Amer ican Embassy as irate Brazilian ol American business men, manufac- turers or heads of small industries ask about undelivered raw mater. ials or finished products they have ordered and been promised. WAR WHISPERS

 'The Chocolate Soldier" new Metro Goldwyn Mayer musical comedy which opened ct the Loew Poli Theater Friday, offers Nelson Eddy in a gay, romantic role, and introduces Rise Stevens, a new sing ing star.
 Not only does the picture give Ed dy's voice full range with a wide vac riety of songs, but 1t gives him 8 part ideally suited to him, as 8 young singer and husband deter mined to find out whether or not his wife loves him and him alone Their harum-scarum-d domesttc life reaches its climax when he mas uuerades as his own rival.
 For the first time on the screen. Eddy sings in two voices, his natu- ral baritone and bass, in playing the dual roles.
 A notable addition to this musi- cal extravaganza is the glamorou personality and brilliant voice o. Rise Stevens. The first American girl to portray the fiery Delilah il "Samson and Delilah" for the Met ropolitan opera in twenty-two year; she sings one of the ariaS in th picture and proves herself detinit screen find"
 The dance productions, created b Ernst and Maria Matray, are ar other high point, especially the hi arious Seek and Spy" ballet. Score by Herbert Stothart, '"The Choco late Soldier" offers great variet of song numbers. Miss Stevens ren dition of "The Trout" and Eddy singing of ''The Song of the Flea which he sings in Russian are high lights, and their duets of the Oscs Straus numbers, particularly I'M Hero" are worth the price of a6 mission alone.
 The supporting cast of "Th Chocolate Soldier" includes Nige Bruce, Florence Bates, Charle. Judels, Nydia Westman, Doroth, Gilmore and 8 host of ballet an6 eccentric dancers.
 The second smash hit on this dou. ble feature program is Frank Buck! Jungle Cavalcade."
 Coming soon to this theater Is "F1ot Spot" starring Betty Grable, Victor Mature, and lovely Carole l LandiS.

This same charge is le- peated in Rio today, and Trinidad, where American planes must stop, is not popular spot on the map BRAZILS CONCEPTION
 OF THE UNITED STATES
 So. after a week of talking with various high officials, American business men, Brazilians and stu dents of the Brazilian situation, which is so important to the en- tire Pan-American pattern, here are a. number of conclusions:
 1. United States production is the vital factor in keeping Brazil within the American orbit. Better production and delivery is just as important for the maintenance of this economic front as for Che maintenance of the British on the battle front.
 2. The United States has over sold rather than under-Sold itself to the Brazilians. The American performance of delivery has not kept pace with the salesmanship. 3. PrioritieS"-the word which is so familiar to Americans at home is just as big word and is spelled the same way in Brazil. The Amer ican explanation that the people of the United States are also ham, pered by shortage of material; that production is not sufficient to meet domestic needs, and that Brazilian requirements are being given as much consideration as our own, is not very convincing in Rio. (''They think more of the Communists in Russia than they do of you" whis- per the Germans)
 {. At the present, Brazil is well on the side of the anti-totalitar- ian forces, and aligned with the United States. It is generally agreed that 85 per cent of the people of the country are American. UPPER CRUST"

 5. The 15 per cent missing in the preceding paragraph are to he found in minority groups in offi- cfal circles, and in majority groups in the general Upper crust" of society. They are the people with money and position who believe in a controlled order and make nc bones about it. Their ancestral roots, however remote, are in Eur ope.
 6. Neither the 85 per cent nor the IS per cent delude themselves about having a democracy in Brazil. They know they haven't. The 15 per cent would not want it, and the 85 per cent wouldn't know what to do with it if they had it.

Good Evening.
VICTORY

Our country needs no homage of the Will; It stands encircled in the worlds great mart, And justly or unjustly does its part Where mystery and love must drink their Ill. To me 1t is the flow of patriot-blood, Yielding the bread that feeds my transient soul In quest of power from the living whole New visions rise-no one stem the flood. The dawn-wind blows beneath the wintry sky We pray for victory and know fear; Our dreams are loyal ones another year Will come and guide us where nfe's frienaSnipS lie No sound of Peace shall touch our sovereign clay Until we march along the Victor's way.

 This maintenance of balance, ex- tends even into the state or pro- vincial governments, it is said here, so it may be safe to assume that Vargas does not depart too far from his practice of balance in il- ternational affairs.
