near the house of heavenly small

and banged into the side Of the nurs-
cry residence. This noise was bad
but was unanimous to the unani-

Twenty-seven young mouths skirled
skyward and the gent grew more
alarmed over this than his damaged
car. His fear soon changed to terror,

Winston Churchill sx.Prims Min
lister Of Great Britain is the most
convincing speaker alive. At Fulton,
Missouri, a few weeks since, he
pleaded for close friendship among
the English speaking peoples and he
certainly seems on solid ground.
Canada, South Africa, Australia,
New Zealand are voluntary parts Of
the British Empire, equal in all re-
spects to the Mother Country. Only
India is a problem. There the Mos
lens and the Hindoos, the Brahmins
and the Untouchables, refused to
get along together. Were the British
to pull out, India would seeth with
civil war and in the end the condi-
ton Of the Indian masses be worse
than before. A Priton is free, at
least as free as we are. They are
the bravest and most stubborn Of
peoples. They are proud, self-reliant.
Traits that make them seem to us
SNUG, intolerant. But, all the ma
tions look on us as rich and wObbly.
The British have beaten the Prus-
slams many times but now there are
80 million Germans and only 40 mill
lion English. The Huns proudly
breed" their women to bring forth
boys for cannon fodder" they plan
to dominate-that means subjugate
the rest of the world. The English
speaking peoples might preserve lib
erty. If they do not we shall be DOM
mated by a dictatorship, whether Of

WHISTLE ST0p"IS THRILLING FEATURE
 ATCAPIT0L SUNDAY

Beginning Sunday, the curtain goes up at the Capitol Theatre on Seymour Nehenzal's dramatic new film, Whistle Stop" based on the best-seller of the same name by Maritta Wolff.
 A small town, a country fair, a shady nightclub are the settings for Whistle Stop" A girl who is too beautiful and too knowing; ne'er- do-wen with a pocket full of pride; the ruthless and wealthy owner of the local nightclub; and a bartend- CT with disreputable past are the chief characters in this tale of love and violence.
 George Raft stars as Kenny Veech, the town loafer with chip on his shoulder. He is in love with Mary, played by Ava Gardner. Runner-up in the triangle is Lew Lentz, sophisticated and wealthy owner of the nightclub, the Flam- ingo.
 Mary, in love with Kenny, but resentful of his the world owes me living" attitude, does all her waltzing with Lew Kenny, how ever is not. stung into giving up pool table for an office desk. He merely gets sullen. And Lew, fur ious at being thwarted by lazy do-nothing, good-for- or-nothing, gets dangerous.
 The dynamite is fired by Lews bartender, Gitlo, played by Victor McLaglen Gitlo is not an ordinary bartender. He is in debt to Lew for having pulled him out of a jam with the police. Never allow ed to forget his obligation" Git los hatred boils higher and higher A crony of Kenny's, Gitlo figures that to "liquidate" and rob Lew would solve everything for both himself and Kenny. He inveigles Ken into the plan, and the stage Is set for many thrilling e"e-c3.
