the "Old Man" looked like an In

flashing at him like an octopus.
With every punch. the "Old Man

Older. Hurley was as white as
death itself. He tried TO shout en-
enlargement to the old Express,
who was rapidly heading for an
open switch and the ditch!
II may be that Billy never re-
membered that first round. No
man ever was hit so hard or OF

love taps or cloutS calculated tO
command respect. SuareZ. one OF

Billy Petrolle, "the Fargo Ex-
press and, 10 Jack Hurley. his
manager. The Old Man" was a
fighter for the Greek Gods. A
magnificent warrior. With his old
Navajo blanket wrapped around
him. he was perhaps the most pic
tureSque ringman boxing ever has
known. The pity of il was there
had to come a day when he sci
aside his Indian blanket, his cour-
age and his fighting heart. TO 60
into the iron business. While he
fought, he didn't give the fans a
run for their money; he gave them
a gallop,
Perhaps there was no fight in
Billy's career which called for sc
much courage, fighting savvy ano
the will TO win as when Billy met
JuSto SuareZ. the hard-hitting Ar.
gentine lightweight, in Madison
Square Garden.

Assignment For Victory

Yesterday the timely and momentous an- nouncement that General Douglas MacArthur assum- ed the United Nations supreme command in Australia
 MacArthur's assignment cannot but be fllip to the whole Allied Forces which has watched with high acclaim his staunch defense of the Philippines over which his command in the southwest Pac- fife will continue to extend
 How we'll this news portrays to us that "those in the know working ndustriously for victory. We can't all be 'in the know because we dare not risk letting the enemy guess plans. What better eX- ample have than MacArthur's aerial trip from the of the Philippines to Australia and his sub sequent assignment of command It is accom- pliShed fact - may now broadcast the glad tid- ingS - and what IS more we are now well pleased to let the Axis Powers become aware that our most re- noWned and courageous soldier in the directors seat
 MacArthurs assignment is an assignment for VICTORY.

Washington Current Comment

Washington has become a boom town. No matter where wishes to go, it is difficult to get there and back One of the District Commissioners proposes parking space for ten thousand autos available without charge to each who carries three other per- to work In spite of it's activity, the city has be- come Sober-minded in many respects The customary Army Day parade, for instance, has been abandoned Director LandS of the Office of Civilian Defense says that the District is doing swell job' but points, as example to Boston, where ten thousand volunteers Wsre' at their posts in fourteen minutes
 Lincons birthday did not interrupt the activity of the capital to any apprecable extent but was cele- brated in a quiet way The Marine Band assembled at the great memorial building and played the national anthem wreath placed at the foot of the statue the buges sounded the President stood bare-headed and at attention, and the ceremonies were over It was Lincolns wish that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall perish from the earth As MT Roosevelt looked at the eigy of his predeces- sor perhaps he thought that after the lapse of eighty years the old peril had to life again.
 The papers quote Japanese officer as saying that all Japanese forces sent to the Philippines must die there The hardening of the human soul produced by is evidenced by the fact that practically every citizen of the United States, covertly if not openly is in hope that the officer right Perhaps those who live 10 hate suffer larger detrment than those who die Having thus eased the conscience by delivering short sermon on the demorazing effect of war-"Remember Pearl Harbor"
 Speaking of Pearl Harbor there was satisfaction in the that few days ago the Pacific fleet took
 
 more than forty planes It may be that the quick and spectacular work done by aircraft has attracted away from purely naval affairs, attention than should have been permitted. The Germans were willing to take long chances in sneaking two warships out of French harbor It requires something like the Norman die disaster to start the people thinking that boat IS a structure that cannot be assembled overnight. The launching of vessel does not that it is ready for battle. A house is far from completed when the frame is erected and the clap boards in place.
 On the subject of men, streets already named for Gen. MacArthur No doubt he appreciates the honor if he knew the facts but it is safe to say that he would be better pleased with few transports ed for Dan Dunn or Donald Duck and hundred thou sand men regardless of name. MT. Wlkie would have Gen. MacArthur brought back and given supreme com nand of the army, next below the President. The Philippine defender at least has the full confidence of hls countrymen Mir Churchill is said to be slipping from grace in England account of British reverses, the latest of which is the loss of Singapore Public esteem is tickle creature

POLI'S

There IS a new girl in the life ol young Dr. Kildare, as presented in ''Dr. Kildare's Victory" latest ot the medical dramas, which opened last night at the LoeW PoI Theater
 She Is Ann AyarS, an extremely attractive and talented young actress who bids fair to equal the popularity of her predecessor in the series, Laraine Day whom the script writers removed from the pic- lures when they involved her in an untimely death in 'Dr. Kildare s Wedding Day"
 Another newcomer to the series is Robert Sterling, last seen with Greta Garbo in Two Faced Wom- an" It is Sterling, who, as Dr. Win throp, precipitates the crisis in which he, his nurse fiancee, Jean Rogers, and Drs. Kildare and Gill; lespic find themselves involved.
 Both Sterling and Miss Rogers are dismissed from Blair Hospital when they violate hospital zoning ordinances in an effort 10 save an emergency case. Lev AyreS, as Kil- dare and Lionel Barrymore, as Gill leaple, fight the injustice of the case and win when they are able to bring it to public attention through the efforts of a much pub- liciled dehutantc, who becomes q patient of Ayres.
 Newcomer Ann Ayars is cast as the dehutante and gives a perform ance full of vitality and oredulenee, While ID the present film, young pr Kildare ls stlll grleying for the nurse whom he was To have mpg- ried, there are indications that Miss Ayars will soon bring her own per- sqnallty Co lhe fore in future Kill dare productions,

STATE

Attractions concluding their en- agreements with performances this evening at Warmers State theater are Look Who's Laughing" with Fibber McGee and Molly, Edgar Bergen and Charlie Mccarthy and Lucille Ball; also The Night of January 16th" with Robert Preston and Ellen Drew.
 If ever a picture showed more promise of being hit movie enter- tainment than the new saga of in- digo rhythm, Birth of the Blues" which we're going to see tomorrow at the State, then we don't know of it.
 Localities have been practically floored by the impressive list of names in the cast. Each name fair ly screams it's entertainment power: Bing Crosby, Mary Martin, Brian Donlevy, Carolyn Lee, Jack Teagar- den and his orchestra, Rochester and J. Carroll Mash. What line- up for laughs and music! Incident ally critics don't mince any words in calling the new picture just about the best of its kind ever produced. Certainly the stuff of which swell pictures is made is there.
 Birth of the Blues" is tribute to those trail-blazing bandslnen who opened their hearts to the blues rhythms played by negroes and worked for years to convince the country this music ought to be list ened to, danced to, enjoyed. That's how come such songs as "St. Louis Blues, Memphis Blues, St. James Infirmary Blues" and host of others are beloved to us.
 Birth of the Blues" is a vertible jackpot of entertainment, one of the best pieces of film entertainment to hit this town in long, long time.
 Thrills galore will be the Keynote of the second hit of the program, Among the Living" with Albert Dekker, Susan Hayward, and Fran ceS Farmer in featured roles.

THAT SKULL AND CRossBONEs

THAT SKULL AND ChOSSbONES
 The official Tincture of Iodine which was in general use in the United States and Canada a few years ago contained 7la per cent. of iodine. Since 1892 a weaker prep aration, called Mild Tincture of Iodine in the U. s. and Weak Solu- ton of Iodire in Canada, has been generally sold when the public asks for tincture of iodine or just iodine. This Mild Tincture or Weak Solu- ton of Iodine is the most satisfact- ory preparation for first aid disin- faction of minor wounds or for any other purpose for which iodine may be used in the home.
 In some States the law requires that POISON label be applied to tincture of iodine, the familiar skull and crossbones. Whether this is re- quired for Weak Solution of Iodine in Canada, I do not know.
 Other States require no such POISON label on tincture of iodine sold to the public.
 Although the older textbooks assert that tincture of iodine is poisonous if taken in considerable quantity, by mistake or with felon- ous intent, reports of serious or fatal poisoning by iodine are extraordin- arily rare in medical and medico- legal records.
 Numerous far more dangerous poisons are indiscriminately sold to the public without poison label or even hint on the label about the possible danger for instance preparations containing strychnine, acetanilide etc. Numerous instances of fatal poisoning of children by strychnine in candy" tablets dis tributed as samples have been re- ported in medical literature. Still, no one has agitated seriously for legal restrictions or precautions a. gainst such tragedies.
 The United States Pharmacopoeia Is about to be revised-the regular decennial revision. It is to be hoped that the revision committee ard their medical, pharmacological and chemical associates and advisers will see the right and make the Weak Solution of Iodine now used in Canada official in the United States, in place of Mild Tincture of Iodine, ard at the same time issue some official statement as to the innocuous character of Weak Solution of Iodine, which will bring an end to- the wretched trick by which the druggists frighten people off from using iodine as everybody should use it---and also destroy the caution value of the skull and cross- bones label.
 client authorities after thoroughly experimental investiga- tion, propose this formula for mula for Mild Solution of Iodine Iodine ..... ........... 2 grams Sodium Iodide 5000. 236 grams Distilled Water ........ 10000 co.
