Mussolini Chooses Historic Setting for Caesar Role
Copyright. 193S. P»?be New*.
"One picture tells more than 10,000 words," runs the adage, and here is Benito Mussolini, the blacksmith’s
son, deliberately posing beside a 2,000-year-old statue of the first Caesar in Rome as he takes the salute
of legions departing for Africa along a trail biased by Caesar to conduct a new conquest The photo was
made less than two weeks ago. (Central Preet)
FIGHT
(Continued from First Page)
Louis meanwhile should grad
ally gain momentum. Baer’s
emotional makeup, which cause*
him to expend vast energy in his
flashes of attack, would bo bet- !
ter suited to rounds of less than
three minutes.
But for Louis, who takes his
rest between punches, the stand
ardized layout of rounds is Just
right.
Baer’s flashes can be most ef
ficient during the first two
rounds. He has then the best
chance to knock Louis out.
The damage dons by Louis In
the middle rounds may be so great
that Baer, trying in the second
half of the fight to begin a new
series of spurts. Is too far gone to
do anything bat weaken himself
more.
In effect be then would be de
feating himself, a sort of psy
chological pugilistic suicide. Yet
that seems to be the risk Baer
must take, for his trainers know
ho must win by knockout
The strength of Louis’ battls
plan lies In tbs exquisite rela
tionship between him and the
cunning Blackburn In his corner.
Blackburn thinks and plana, Louis
fights accordingly.
Baer Is a unique personality.
There are certain factors in him
which cannot bo predicted ac
curately.
Blackburn may send Louis out
in the sixth to deliver a knock
out Louis may come back un
successful What would happen
to Joe Louis’ mind if he failed
several times?
He might become less confi
dent What is more dangerous,
he might lose faith in the man
in bis corner. Then we may see
a highly irritated Louis, unable to
rise to an emergency wnich is not
figured out by Blackburn.
In such a state of the battle
an unknown but potentially sig
nificant factor may make Louis’
situation still harder — namely
Dempsey acting for Baer as a
second. They have a similarity
In stylo, they may “dick'’ so that
Dempoey supplies the advice Baer
needs.
There are many other factors.
But weighing all the evi V” f\ the
most probable outcome is Louis to
win unless Baer can knock him
out In the first three rounds.

was reported here Sunday—
But no angler could claim him.

MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW’ YORK, Sept 24.—^—Buy
ing, quiet but persistent, gave atoca
market prices another upward Ula In
Tuesday’s session.
With a little better tone to
European developments, some short
covering as well as modest reinvest
ment demand aided recovery force*
The relatively alow trading pace
however, tended to engender cau
tion in the boardrooms.
Wheat pushed up after a hesitant
start and cotton was steady. Rubber
futures advanced on the lowering
of the export quota by the interna
tional committee In London. Securi
ties were firm in both London and
Paris. Foreign exchanges were nar

Notwithstanding the evident con

within or without the League of Na

Cheerfulness was apparent
throughout the domestic trade field
Business observers, encouraged by

Back Taxes Payment
Loans Are Promised
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO. Sept. 24—Federal
Housing Administration loans may
j be made to include money for pay
! ment of back taxes, according to
Information received here by Joe A.
i Sloan irho la In charge of applica
tions from the San Benito area.
The FHA loans may be obtained
fer refinancing purpose, repair of
buildings, business or residential,
and for new construction The fact
that money for payment of delin
quent taxes may be included ta the
loan makes them similar to the H.
O. L C. loans. One of the big dlf
, ferences is that a home need not be
in danger of foreclosure to obtain
an FHA loan. Under the H. O. L. C
set-up, it was necessarv fer a home
to be in jeopardy before a loan
could be obtained.
Application for FHA loans may
be made at the chamber of com
merce.
The loans are for building and
repairs in cities and in residential
sect lens outside cities. Other agen
cies are available for refinancing of
farm propertiea.

PASSING SHOW
r>UR home makes a comfortable theatre,
doesn't it? And It's nice to bare the
passing show brought to year easy chair a fell
length, full time production, too?
Maybe you’re only interested in the “feature
pictures”, the things big enough to make the
front page. Perhaps you like those “educational
shorts”, the unbiased editorials or the home
making articles by well known writers. It may
be the “comedy”, with Wash Tubbs m the lead
ing role. The “serials” way hold your atten
tion, the features and columnists. But alto
get her, say, don't they make up the best show
in town?
And remember. It's a DOUBLE FEATURE at
traction—the ads are full of news, too! The
news about something new for the home, some
thing to wear or something economical to
serve. But it IS new and news when it appears
on the pages of The Brownsville Herald.
The passing show Is an inexpensive program!
It's the best way to keep pace with the chang
ing scene. And the best part of it is that
there's a complete change of program every
day!
