Testifying his mother had given him whisky to drink, a 10-year-old boy proved himself an authority on the liquor question in Juvenile court today. When he told Judge John F. Geckler he had “visited a still,” the court was convinced of the mother's guilt. 'What color was the liquor?” the state’s attorney asked.

U. S, IS 'READY' FOR FASCISM, SAYS THOMAS Only Demagogue Is Lacking, Leader of Socialist Party Asserts. By l nit rd Press GRAND RAPIDS. Mich.. Sept. 23 —The United States is ready for Fascism, and only a demagogue is lacking. Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President, told an audience here Thursday night. The first violent revolution in this country, Thomas added, will result in Fascism and not Communism. He said Fascism may come either with or without violence, and said the factors which have paved the way for governmental changes were the degeneration of the two major political parties, disgust /ith ordinary political actions, and the emphasis of prejudice and passion. Thomas poked ridicule at Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture. w r ho spoke in Michigan this week. The only thing Hyde said, according to Thomas, was that the administration had loaned the farmers more money that it had the railroads. ’’This :s,an excellent illustration,” said Thomas, ‘of the feebleness of the Republican party's efforts to cope with the nation’s distress.” LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN ROBINSON OPENS TALK Equipment Believed Tampered With at Carmel High.
