It was a glorious morning yesterday, as sparkling aa a raindrop after a shower. Z. Through the sunlight, pale as straw, there passed for three hours a vision to torment the East and the Middle West in the midst of their stalemate with winter.

How many saw the vision one cannot say. An unof- ficial estimate was 1,250,000. nil I J- It seemed there were more than STOCKHOLM (Sweden) Jan. -1.

Yep, roped and ridden they were, but not tamed, for right up to the final gun the wild cayuse from Dallas was threatening to stampede the game and run the Indians clear out of the great corral which was jammed to Its capacity of better than 87,000 customers. It was Stanford's first victory in three Rose Bowl tries. It was the first time the Indians have ever approached their peak form in the Bowl.

And in victory they beat a far better football team than the ones to which they've lost in their past two appearances. Victory was sweet to Stanford! QUICK KICK WORKS One magnificent bit of football strategy, a meteoric quick kick from Bill Paulman's toe that in a twinkling switched the scene of operations from Stanford's 28-yard line to the Mustangs' 10-yard line was the key play of the game. Right on the heels of that Napoleonic maneuver Stanford's Jim Annual Rose Parade TOO MANY FOR POLICE There were too many for the po lice to handle.

FEELING RUNS HIGH Some Informed sources asserted the Swedish Red Cross was taking the view that Italian air bombardments In Ethiopia, hitting first an American hospital In Dessye recently, then the Swedish workers, had been "deliberately'1 directed against the Red Cross.

Feeling has been running high In Sweden since reports were received of the bombing, and the nation was reported ready to send a larger and better Red. Cross unit to Ethiopia. TRESS CONTENTION The Swedish press asserted the Italian airmen saw members of the Red Cross unit waving Swedish flags to call attention to their loceMon. before the bombing. The assertion a based, the newspapers said, on a copy of the Italian newspaper Messagero of December 27, reaching here today from Rome, the Messagero was asserted to contain a dispatch from Mogadiscio, Italian Somaliland, saying the Italian aviators saw Swedish flags.

Now, in too many cases, young women drink publicly and sometimes have to be carried out in an intoxicated condition from hotels, taprooms and private dwellings." "No wonder that marriages, divorces and shameful scandals abound," the Cardinal added.
