It Un ' t o f ten tha t your local col-umnis t has the oppor tuni ty to win a "scoop" f rom Winchell in announc-ing a "blessed event" of cclebrity, but this week I can and do!

We are most happy to announce the birth of seven little hol idays t o Mary Ohristmas, t h a t curly haireo dusky l i t t le dar l ing who ha-s been the ccnter of a t t r ac t ion a t the Green Haver* Inn, Montague 's f a m o u s s night-spot , where there Is no cover charge and the food vs a s f resh as most .

•Mary Chr is tmas was a unique ad-dition t o th is haven of mer r imen t and mus ta rd covered* edibles. And despi te t h e f a c t she was no hot num-ber on the dance f loor nor a s inger of note, her easy going, happy-go-lucky na tu re soon won her the favor of all of the eligible young swains— and many of the older ones—who fi>>quented the place. And, unlike most of t h e female en t e r t a ine r s of «uch a place, her womanly ways even won f o r her the f r iendships of the women guests . Aye, she (wa® an at-t ract ion t o the dump.

Yep, she was a popular one, t h a t minx, and a bit of a f l i r t indeed. She soon learned t h a t a roll-of-an-eye paid dividends, and was not adverse to a bit of snuggl ing o r a pa t on the head. But she was a country gal a t hear t , and like most of them, a sample of the gay n ight life only serves to s t a r t t hem off on a mer ry road, which leads down to dis-illusion and disgrace . Fired1 by a compelling desire to see life, the lo-cal conditions ami loyal f r i ends be-came too t a m e for fas t - s t epp ing Mary, and aga ins t the advice of h e j t r u e f r i ends she s ta r ted going about with a f a s t e r crowd, which included t ravel ing men and pugs. Then, as always, when they tired of her, poor •Mary re turned home, a sad but (wiser girl, only to find her t r u e f r i ends ready to welcome her even in dis-grace .

Thus ends a chap te r in the life of th is black curly haired Cockerel Spanie1

Kite Fliers Uurged to Orserve Caution

The coming of spr ing br ings the advent of the kite season, and be-cause of some hazards in this sport , the Michigan Public Service Company is joining o ther electric, telephone and te legraph companies throughout the country In warning children to keep the i r kites away f rom overhead lines. 'Mr. C. M. Reed, Safety Di-rector f o r t h e Company, sugges t s tha t observance of the following sim-ple sa fe ty ru les will avoid all pos-sible dangers to children.

(Kites should be flown in open spaces where the re a r e no electric wires. It should be remembered tha t the kite s t r ing is a t an angle and may pass over electric lines a long distance away.

If kites become entangled with ar. electric line, children should make no a t t emp t to remove it, or to climb a pole to regain it. Call the electric o r telephone companies and linemen with proper equipment will remove it. •

I t is unsafe for children to pull down a kite f rom electric lines, be-cause in so doing the wires may be pulled together , causing a short cir-cuit. o r a wire may break and cause in jury to anyone near it.

Kites should never have wire or metal f rames . Metal or metallized eord should never be used., as they a r e conductors of electric current . I t is impor tant t ha t kite s t r ing be kept off damp ground' a s a wet s t r ing also becomes a conductor of electricity.

Kite flying is a f ine spor t and is entirely safe for children when they fly a properly made kite in an open spac,. away f rom electric wires. The observance of these few safe ty sug-gest ions will not detract f rom the fun and may prevent accidents.

" T h e n I a sked Gee w h e r e R icha rd was . He said R i c h a r d had gone down to the beach . I went along the top of the cliff looking for h im. and Anally I s a w him.

I thought it m igh t be sea l s , but I couldn ' t see t h e m .

" I s a w him s t a r t to run, and then I saw Uiem coming toward the wa-ter . gal loping on thei r flippers the way they do; but they were sea lions, b igger than seals , s o m e of t h e m ten or twelve feet long.

It mus t have sunk the tusks into his h a n d ; and it just gal loped on, d r a g g i n g Richard with it. into the w a t e r . "

"I think one of the tusks s tuck in his wris t s o m e h o w ; m a y b e wedged between the bones, or hooked into the tendons. He was j e rked off his feet , couldn ' t do anyth ing . It d r a g g e d him into the wa te r , and they went under together . The p lace w a s boiling with t h e m , dozens of t h e m , like a school of m a c k e r e l .

" D o you know naviga t ion , Mr. C o r k r a n ? "

" N o , s i r . " " M r . F o r b e s can give you a s t a r t .

George and Mary followed h im into the c o m m o n room, and George lay down on the long bench there . It was still broad day in these high la t i tudes , but the smal l window g a v e scan t light. P e t e r lighted the whale oil l a m p s .

He stood up angr i ly . " I tell you he i s . "

"We can go back and find h im. P l e a s e ! "

P e t e r ' s f a c e da rkened , but he spoke without hea t , unders tanding-ly. " I ' m sor ry , Mary . I know how you a lways felt about Richard . But 1 feel worse than anyone . He was my bro the r , wasn ' t h e ? " He looked a round at them al l ; he cr ied, as tl thei r eyes accused h i m : " B l a s t »t, I couldn ' t do any th ing! I tell you h e ' s d e a d ! " No one spoke. He c a m e to his feet , s t rongly . " I want to get away f r o m here . This e a s t e r l y ' s w ha t we need to get out of the Bay. We might not get another for weeks . W e ' r e l e a v i n g ! "

No one denied h im. P e t e r said, his tone p l aca t ing :

" C o r k r a n . c o m e on deck . I want a word with y o u . " Without wai t ing for an assen t , he turned abrup t ly into the a f t e r cabin . Cork ran went th rough the s t e e r a g e to ascend the compan ion ladder the re .

George put off R i c h a r d ' s coat tha t T o m m y had given him and went to his bunk to lie under b l anke t s the re . She followed h im. h e r legs stiff and wooden with the pene t ra t ing d a m p and chill. S tanding by the bunk she could see through the sma l l window above it a head land a mi le away . She wa tched the head land fall slow-ly beh ind ; and she felt the heav ie r s e a s outside the Bay begin to lift the Venture r . She stood there long, not moving , her eyes fixed on tha t bluff which was gray through r a i n ; Ull present ly Ihey changed course , b rough t the wind m o r e a b e a m , and the head land d i s a p p e a r e d .

dow at the boil of wa te r under the s t e rn . The desk was at h e r left, the log book lying on the end of it.

After a while, she looked down at the book; and presen t ly she lifted it and tu rned the pages to the la tes t en t ry . She read it, h e r eyes glanc-ing a long the lines.

" H o a k e s Bay. Day began with southwest wind and ra in . R e p a i r s finished this morn ing . Cap ta in Rich-ard Corr and M a t e P e t e r Corr went to shoot geese on shore while the w a t e r c a s k s were being filled.

Mary read and nodded slowly. As she conned the words , she s e e m e d to hea r , f a r away , a fa in t ly f a m i l i a r sound, not easi ly identified. She tried to hea r m o r e pla inly . P e t e r had wr i t ten this. The cap i t a l s were o rna t e , involved in sweeping cu rves , and there were blotches w h e r e the pen had pressed too hard , and the l e t t e r s s t agge red e r ra t i ca l ly up and down. P e t e r had wri t ten this. It was very d i f ferent f r o m the preced-ing en t r i e s in R i c h a r d ' s sma l l , nea t , c a r e f u l hand . R i c h a r d ' s hand was c o m p a c t and firm, P e t e r ' s l a rge and sp rawl ing . P e t e r had wr i t t en this What was it she s eemed to h e a r ? Someth ing h e a r d long ago. Or seen long ago. P e t e r had wri t ten this! P e t e r !

Her eyes widened in a sudden s t a r t l ed a t ten t ion .

Once y e a r s ago R icha rd had writ-ten her a note, two or t h r ee l ines, br ief , cu r t , c rue l . " W a i t till you grow up. Don' t be a silly little foo l . " But Richard had wr i t ten tha t note the way P e t e r had wr i t ten this en-t ry in the log, in a sp rawl ing hand , the words s t r agg l ing up and down, the cap i t a l s o r n a t e .

Suddenly she knew in a comple te and overpower ing revela t ion tha t it bad been P e t e r , not R icha rd , who wro te t ha t c rue l note long ago.

She spoke quickly. " I t began : Dea r R icha rd , Having been capt i -

For a n s w e r , he fumbled in his pocket , produced a c r u m p l e d pape r , gave it to her . She smoothed it out , r e ad it swif t ly with r ac ing eyes tha t neve r the l e s s l ingered o v e r the fa-mil iar , not-to-be-forgotten words .

She smi led as she r e a d . Once these words had s e e m e d to her so impass ioned and tender and beauti-ful tha t they m a d e her senses s w i m ; and once she had t r e a s u r e d this s c r a p of p a p e r in her bosom happi-ly. But now even in the tension of this m o m e n t she was a m u s e d ; and she looked up at George in a deep mi r t h .

" Y o u real ly thought I 'd wri t ten this to R i c h a r d ? "

" W h a t could I t h i n k ? " " I m e a n , . s ince we c a m e aboa rd

He sa id , hal f -smil ing at his own confess ion : " I ' v e n e v e r had a love le t te r , M a r y . I don ' t know much about t h e m . Didn ' t you wr i te • ? "

" Y e s , but y e a r s ago. My ha. . I-wri t ing doesn ' t even look like that n o w ! "

" I ' v e n e v e r seen your handwri t -ing, you know. We 've not been sep-a r a t e d , so w e ' v e never wr i t ten let-t e r s to each o t h e r . "

"And i t ' s s igned ' M a r y Doncas-t e r , ' " she insis ted. "No t M a r y Mc-A u s l a n d . "

" I thought you had fo rgo t ten you were m y w i f e . "

He spoke so humbly tha t for a m o m e n t she caugh t h im close in ten-d e r n e s s ; but then she spoke in swift explana t ion , and sober ly now. "Lis-ten, George . I copied this le t ter out of a 'Comple te Le t t e r Wri te r ' when I w a s in school in New Bed-ford . It was supposed to be f r o m a m a n to a girl, and I thought it was pe r fec t ly b e a u t i f u l . "

" I s e e , " he assen ted . " B u t M a r y , R i c h a r d kept it all these y e a r s . So p e r h a p s he loved you t o o ! "

She shook her head . "No , he d idn ' t k eep it! He never saw it. 1 know tha t now. P e t e r stole it f r o m m e in school. He told m e he was going to give it to R icha rd . I begged him not t o . " Her cheek colored, and she said hones t ly : " N e x t day he brought m e wha t he sa id was Rich-a r d ' s a n s w e r ; but I know now tha t P e t e r wrote the a n s w e r h imsel f , be-c a u s e i ^ s the s a m e handwr i t ing in the log; and he m u s t h a v e k e p t . m y le t te r all this t i m e . . . " Her voicc checked as though s o m e thought s t ruck h e r ; then she went on : "And he put it in R i c h a r d ' s coat , to fool you, to m a k e you m a d ! "

He said gr imly , r e m e m b e r i n g that s t o r m of emot ion which had racked h im so : " I was c r azy , Mary . I'll spend the res t of m y life m a k i n g up to you for the way 1 acted iriat d a y . "

She told h im, w a r m l y comfor t ing " I d idn ' t mind real ly , G e o r g e . " Hei eyes twinkled a lmos t misch ievous ly. " Y o u know, y o u ' v o never tola m e you love m e . I t ' s only when you get t e r r ib ly j ea lous tha t I can see you d o . " Then she cr ied, tense aga in , leaning close to him so tha t they could not be o v e r h e a r d : " B u t don ' t you see , George , th i s m e a n s R icha rd isn ' t d e a d ! If he is. P e t e r killed h i m ; but I know he i s n ' t ! "

He asked g rop ing ly : " H o w does it m e a n R i c h a r d ' s not d e a d ? "

" W h y . don ' t you s e e ? " she in-s i s ted . " P e t e r ' s a coward and a sneak and a thief, or he wouldn ' t have done tha t with m y silly let-t e r ! George , w e ' v e got to m a k e h im go back to Hoakes Bay and find R i c h a r d . "

After s o m e cons idera t ion George agreed with M a r y to seek aid f r o m the c rew in forc ing P e t e r to re-tu rn to s ea rch for R i cha rd . Mary sa t beside George and in a whisper expla ined tha t when P e t e r was pure-ly as leep , they could c r e e p ac ross to w a k e the m a t e s and enlist the i r a id . F o r if help were to be found aga ins t P e t e r it m u s t c o m e f r o m those next in au thor i ty a b o a r d .

YOUNG BULLS REQUIRE CARE

Good F e e d i n g P r o d u c e s Best

Resul ts .

By L. J . CASE (EMttnsioa Animtl Hutbtadmin. N. C. State Colleg, ) Many f a r m e r s have recent ly add-

ed a he rd of beef ca t t l e to thei r ag r i cu l tu ra l e n t e r p r i s e s . It is high-ly i m p o r t a n t tha t they t ake ade-q u a t e c a r e of the herd bull, especia l -ly if the a n i m a l is young.

Young bulls should be well fed and ca red for in o rde r to grow them out p roper ly . A good ra t ion is equa l p a r t s of corn, c ru shed oa t s and w h e a t b ran , and all the l e g u m e hay the a n i m a l will ea t . If l egume hay is not ava i lab le , add about one-half pound of a prote in s u p p l e m e n t with the gra in m i x t u r e . W h e r e whea t b r an is too high in pr ice , double the amoun t of oa t s in the ra t ion.

The total a m o u n t of g ra in to be fed should va ry with the condit ion of the bull, but in no c a s e should it be neces sa ry to feed m o r e than one pound to each 100 pounds live weight of the ar i imal . Smal l a m o u n t s of good sweet s i lage m a y be fed to the bull, bu t l a rge quan t i t i e s m a y prove d e t r i m e n t a l .

The young bull should have a c c e s s to sa l t and pure w a t e r a t all t imes , and a m i n e r a l m i x t u r e of equa l p a r t s of s t e a m e d bone m e a l , g round l imestone, and sal t should be kept where he can he lp h imsel f .

The beef type bull should not be pu t into se rv i ce until he is a t leas t one y e a r old. The first y e a r he m a y be used on not Over 10 or 12 cows, one se rv i ce to the cow. The bull should have a c c e s s to a well-fenced lot 'or p a s t u r e w h e r e he can t ake ex-erc ise . An open shed or she l te r of s o m e kind should be ava i l ab le . S o m e bred cows running in the s a m e lot with the bull will induce exerc i se . In no c a s e should the young bull be allowed to run with unbred fe-m a l e s .

public by describing exactly the products that are offered. It benefits employees, because the advertiser must be more (air

benefits which advertising confers—the lower prices, the higher quality, the better service that g o with advertised goods and firms.

Terrific Fighting Marks Nazi Thrust Into Jugoslavia and Greek Territory; British Lose Bengasi to Axis Forces But Capture Addis Ababa in Ethiopia

BALKAN DRIVE: Under fl ay

With Adolf Hi t le r ' s cha rge to " c a r -ry the w a r to Britain wherever she m a y b e " ringing in their ea r s , the Nazi soldiers that m a k e up his a r m i e s smashed ac ross the f ront iers of Jugoslavia and Greece .

Ea r ly repor ts of the fighting in the Ba lkans were vague, sca t te red , in-complete . Nazi c la ims indicated tha t their m o v e m e n t s were on sched-ule. Greek sources at first c la imed the Nazi heavily a rmored mach ine was bogging down.

One of the first object ives by the G e r m a n forccs was rcached when a r m o r e d troops and pa rachu t i s t s re-ported they had broken through to the Aegean sea in eas te rn Greece. This movemen t was said by mil i tary expe r t s to cut off Greece f rom her potential ally, Turkey.

Even as the G e r m a n troops moved toward the Jugoslavian and Greek borders announcement was m a d e tha t Russia and Jugos lav ia had signed a new "non-oggress ion" pact . British were hopeful tha t this was fu r ther indication of what appea red to be a t rend of Soviet m ove m e n t away f rom the Hit ler sphere of in-fluence.

In Jugoslavia before the fighting be-gan there were last minutes moves to " p l a c a t e Ber l in ," and a las t -minute notice f rom Berlin that these peace over tures " c a m e too l a te . " But Jugos lav ia apparent ly was s tanding for something f a r bigger and wider than her own nar row physical con-fines. Jugoslavia was becoming a byword for courage and dar ing throughout a j i t te ry world.

Par t i cu la r ly was this noticeable in shaky spots like ce r ta in South Amer-ican countr ies which saw in the sud- | den reve r sa l of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes against the govern-m e n t which had signed up with the Axis a sign tha t Nazi G e r m a n y might not have a s inecure in con-quering Europe .

They saw tha t even in the mids t of the Nazi-dominated Balkans a cer-tain country, sur rounded on four s ides by enemies , could have the b r ave ry to s tand up to these ene-mies and to defy them, with all their superior power, to cross their rocky borders .

Not that anyone figured the Jugo-s lavs would be a " p u s h o v e r " for the Nazis, in fact , the Nazi position was none too good, for most of the ter-ra in held by them was hostile, and Bri ta in , with 10 to 15 divisions of men , well provided with a r m o r e d equ ipment and a i rp lanes , w e r e dug in just south of the Bulgar ian border .

BRITISH: Lose Bengasi

The evacuat ion of Bengasi , capi ta l and port of Libya, was admi t t ed by the British, who repor ted tha t the wi thdrawal was "accqrd ing to p l a n " and that Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell was mere ly "picking his bat t le-g round" on which to mee t the Nazi-reinforced Fasc is t troops.

La te r d ispatches s eemed to indi-ca t e that the Austral ia-New Zealand a r m y in Africa had halted the Nazi-I tal ian drive, for it was said tha t ' the si tuation was well in h a n d . " and the shoo.ting down of six Ger-m a n planes and the damag ing of two o thers was reported officially.

However , on the s a m e day c a m e w a r office warn ings to the Bri t ish public not to be surpr i sed if the re were fu r the r wi thdrawals , say ing tha t it was officially doubted if the " h a l t i n g " of the German- I t a l i an ad-vance was p e r m a n e n t .

Bet ter news for the British how-ever was the announcement tha t the Ethiopian capi ta l of Addis Ababa had been taken f rom the I ta l ians without a s t rugg l f . This cap tu re c a m e as a c l imax to eleven weeks of ha rd fighting to s m a s h I ta l ians African e m p i r e to bits.

I R A Q : Stages Coup

There was a mi l i tary coup d ' e t a t in I raq , historic Bagdad being the scene of a governmenta l over tu rn s taged by a r m y forces led by Rashid All Gailani .

The coup was viewed differently in var ious quar t e r s , Bagdad itself, two days la ter , announcing tha t one of

WEEK

C. Fotitrh, Jugoilmv minister, leaves the f f h t l e House ajter calling upon Presi-dent Hoosexclt to thank him for his mes-sage to the boy monarch of Jugoslavia, King Peter.

r eady to give Jugoslavia and Greece m o r e than lip-service if, as , and when the a t tack should come.

What pa r t the United Sta tes was playing could not be said, al though Pres iden t Roosevelt said tha t lease-lend aid was being sent to " m o r e than one count ry ," which might in-clude Britain and Greece , or Bri ta in and Jugos lavia , or all three .

Jus t before the s t a t emen t f rom the White House was made , however, the Pres ident had confer red with the Jugoslavian minis te r .

How well p r epa red Jugoslavia was s eemed to be a moot point. Food w a s short, but so it was in all the Bal-kans—in all Europe, for tha t m a t t e r . The n u m b e r s of the a r m y were l a rge , es t imated a t f r o m 1,200,000 to 1.500,000, but these figures the Batt le of F r a n c e showed might m e a n much or little.

The re were m a n y who believed tha t the Jugoslavs , who have the ad-v a n t a g e of having the c ruc ia l Dan-u b e r iver run through a portion of their country the p a r t of the r iver which is so r ap ia and h e m m e d in by moun ta ins tha t a cana l bea r s ship-ping at tha t point, might explode huge c h a r g e s of TNT in the moun-ta ins ides and render r iver and canal unfit for shipping for m a n y months.

Already they had blown up m a n y impor tan t b n d g e s in the valley of V a r d a r . and had shown a g r im de-te rmina t ion to m a k e a fight out of the Nazi invasion at all points.

This is Emir Abdul Hah, regent of Iraq, uho ruled for five-year-old King Feisal II and is reported deposed and fleeing for his life after the military coup tf etat.

the m a i n f e a t u r e s of the new gov-e r n m e n t would be fulf i l lment of aU internat ional obligations, pa r t i cu la r -ly with Bri tain.

Previously it had been hinted in d ispa tches f rom London, passed by the censor , quoting Soviet c i rc les in London a s saying tha t it was be-lieved the coup d ' e t a t was inspired by the Axis, and tha t the object ive was going to be the es tab l i shment of Nazi air bases in I r aq .

This na tura l ly was disquieting to London, a s if ca r r i ed out it would place Nazi a i rp lanes in a position of dangerous proximity to the Red Sea and the Suez canal , the defense of which had been going well for Brit-ain.

STRIKES: Mostly CIO

The calling of a s t r ike against the plants of "Big S tee l , " the United Sta tes Steel corporat ion, by C.I.O. unions proved tha t the labor s i tua-tion was still acute , al though the soft coal s t r ike was set t led, and the m e n went back to work digging the im-por tan t fue l out of the ground.

J u s t 48 hours before the settle-ment was reached , four m e n were shot to dea th in Har lan , Ky. , a bloody cen te r of previous s t r ike rioting. J u s t before the se t t l ement of the bi tuminous coal s t r ike, it was es t imated tha t 530,000 m e n were out of work in the United Sta tes a s the resul t of s t r ikes , adding considerably to the n u m b e r of man-days lost in the nat ional defense .

Phi l ip Mur ray , head of the C.I.O., called the s t r ike against U. S. Steel, declar ing that the companies had re fused to heed a d e m a n d fo r a 10-cent an hour wage increase . The company has 261,000 wage ea rners . The C.I.O. also wants a closed shop.

The Ford s t r ike had closed the biggest single industr ia l plant in the nat ion, employing 86.000 workers .

I t s ga tes were m a r k e d by m a n y scenes of violence as pickets batt led with workers .

Back of these front-line scenes were back-s tage bat t les . The Ford counsel obtained an injunction against the s t r ikers , and the s t r ike rs prompt ly subpoenaed Henry Ford , Edsel Ford and Manage r Bennet t to a p p e a r in court .

The next move saw Ford Attorney Capizzi mak ing a court motion tha t all l abor board ci tat ions aga ins t the company be thrown out a s the C.I.O. union was dominated by Commu-nists.

AFTERMATH: Of Seizure

The order ing back to Italy of Naval Attache Alberto Lais of the I ta l ian legation was a sensat ional a f t e r m a t h of the seizure in Amer-ican ha rbo r s of I ta l ian and G e r m a n vessels .

The first s tep was the seizure of the vessels and the jai l ing of 875 m e m b e r s of the Fasc i s t and Nazi c rews. This was closely followed by the revelat ion in the s ta te depar t -m e n t tha t Lais would be declared " p e r s o n a non g r a t a " to the Amer-ican governmen t and tha t his re-turn to I taly would be demanded .

Lais had previously described himself a s more than 75 per cent Amer ican and he is m a r r i e d to an Amer ican woman and their hand-some daugh te r lives with them in Washington.

But Sec re t a ry Hull ' s report , which gave no detai ls , showed plainly tha t La is ' "25 per cent I t a l i a n " hear t had prevai led on h im to par t ic ipa te actively in the a t t emp ted sabotage of the Fasc i s t vessels .

This, the s e c r e t a r y said, was an unfr iendly and illegal act, and for tha t his recal l was demanded .

Mr. HuU also revea led tha t the United S ta tes had sent a flat and uncompromis ing " N o " to the Axis d e m a n d tha t the ships be re turned and the c rews re leased .

Yet it was not expected anything would be done with the vessels until the incident had had t ime to cool down.

It was not the only ser ious naval r eve r se for I ta ly , the British having c la imed tha t they had prac t ica l ly put 11 Duce ' s fleet out of commiss ion in the Medi t e r ranean , declar ing tha t nine vessels , including two batUe-ships, had been sunk, besides o thers believed put out of action due to d a m a g e s suf fe red in the naval bat t le .

CONVOY: Big Issue

The question of whether or not Amer i can nava l fo rces should con-voy war sh ipments to Bri ta in was becoming very much of a moot ques-tion in congress , with indications tha t the anti-convoy vote would lose.

It had been confidently predicted tha t Amer ican nava l ships would convoy sh ipments to Bri ta in " a t least ha l fway across the At lan t ic . " Sena-tor Tobey, chief opponent of this plan, even dur ing the deba te of the lease-lend bill, had a bill to ban con-voys s la ted for considerat ion before the senate foreign re la t ions commit-tee .

But a poll of the commit tee showed tha t only 8 out of 23 com-mi t t eemen would suppor t the meas-u re .

Yet P res iden t Roosevelt said dis-cussion of the m a t t e r , in p ress con-fe rences " w a s p r e m a t u r e . " It still s eemed , however , likely tha t the Tobey resolution against convoying would not be allowed to die in com-mit tee , as m a n y m e m b e r s felt tha t a sena te vote would be the only way of settling the question once and for 1 all.

C h a i r m a n George of the commi t - ' t ee had repeatedly said tha t he would not favor Amer ican convoying unless the nation was actively and fo rmal ly in the war . Senator Pep-per , an a rden t advocate of aid to Bri ta in , had taken the s tand tha t o ther methods , giving of convoying ships to Bri tain, ought to be tried before convoying is resor ted to.

The m e r e a p p e a r a n c e of the ques-tion out in the open a i r , however , showed tha t a probable campa ign of p repa ra t ion of the public mind for convoying was going on.

This a t t i tude of bowing to the ad-min is t ra t ion ' s lease-lend powers was expressed by Senator Gillette. Iowa, who said tha t while he did not f a v o r convoying himself , he was un-willing to s tand in the way of the P re s iden t ' s full adminis t ra t ion of Bri t ish aid.

While the lease-lend bill s t a t e s specifically tha t nothing in the bill c an be construed as giving the P re s -ident the authori ty to order Amer -ican convoying, legal author i t ies in Washington said they w e r e of the opinion tha t be has tha t power as head of the a r m y and n a w .

WASHINGTON.—MiUions for de-fense but not enough sense to con-tr ibute sufficient funds to the Dis-trict of Columbia budget . Tha t is the Washington city gove rnmen t ' s p resen t cha rge aga ins t congress .

The o ther day I sa t in the office of one of the dis t r ic t commiss ioners and an a r m y officer who had been d ra f t ed to help work out the c i ty ' s

| housing problems, and they seemed 1 pret ty helpless.

"We haven ' t got the money to m e e t the emergency s i tuat jon that is growing in the dis t r ic t as a re-sult of the defense p r o g r a m , " was the burden of their song.

Washington is run by a commis-sion—three men—our th ree " m a y -o r s , " if you will, appointed by the Pres ident . Our board of a lde rmen a r e the dis tr ict c o m m i t t e e s of the house of r ep resen ta t ives and the sen-ate. The federa l government bea r s a sha re of the expense of running the city—but not enough, say the citi-zens of the distr ict . All they can do is " s a y , " for they have no vote, ei ther locally or nationally.

The emergency is bringing thou-sands of new workers here . F r o m June , 1030, to J a n u a r y of this y e a r near ly 25,000 new government em-ployees moved in. The figures for F e b r u a r y , due to be re leased in a few days , a r e expected to show a big increase .

The Washington Board of Trade es t ima tes that 55,000 new res idents have moved into the District of Co-lumbia in the last y e a r .

Question of Schools. In addition to these ex t ra beds

and ba ths tha t m u s t be provided, the re is the question of schools. The commiss ioner with whom I was dis-cussing the si tuation, cited one ex-ample ,

"Down the re between Boiling field which will soon be the cen te r of Amer ican aviation and the naval re-s ea r ch l abora to ry , " he said, " t h e f ede ra l government ha s built 600 fami ly units . It will probably be increased to 1,000, These a r e just for the navy yard workers . Right there will probably be enough chil-dren to fill one schoolhouse a lone ."

A million and a qua r t e r dollars, it is e s t imated , should be spent on schools alone in Washington as a resul t of the influx of res idents . This is to say nothing of the next most pressing need—facil i t ies to increase the wa te r supply. The Canal Zone is not much hot ter than Washing-ton in the s u m m e r . People take a lot of showers . We have a Po tomac-ful of wa te r but we need more pipes and pumps .

The g rea tes t portion of the c i ty ' s expense, however , goes to taking c a r e of the homes and the offices and people which m a k e up the fed-eral government .

Anyone who thinks the life of a government worker is all roses, f rankincense and m y r r h in these days needs only to listen to the local d i rec tor of the Housing association who s a y s :

'Doubling Up' Complaints . " F r e q u e n t complaints of doubling

up in a p a r t m e n t s and rooming houses come to us. One bath for 15 to 20 persons is a common gr ievance. Three to six unrelated roomers in the parlor of a once fine pr ivate res idence is not uncom-mon . "

Very bad, say the health authori-ties, for sani tat ion. Very bad for mora le , too.

And then Washington has on its per iphery a number of a r m y c a m p s , can tonments and forts . By July the boys on leave will be flocking in f r o m an a r m y of near ly a hundred thousand men . Their wel fa re and a m u s e m e n t have to be taken c a r e of. too.

The distr ict government , there-fore, is s t ruggling with the congres-sional commit tees , a t t empt ing to convince them of Washington 's needs. A bill is now being consid-ered which would increase the pro-portion which the federa l govern-ment contr ibutes to the federa l city, but the officials cannot bank on the money until it is in hand.

dition tha t Chester county is often called the Leices tershire county j f Amer ica , with its hunts comparab l e only to the Melton, the Mowbray and the Quoin of Leices tershire—the s a m e compris ing all the super la t ives of fox-hunting in England.

In 1911 Mr. Plunket—a banker when he Isn't riding to hounds— began searching for the per fec t hunting domain . He found it in Chester county. The te r ra in was sufliciently broken to give the fox a break , but open enough for some s lam-bang, tal lyho rid-ing, with woods, s t r e a m s , stone walls and all the required haz-a r d s and lures, without too m a n y people to get in the way. M r . P lunket bought a la rge t r ac t and t h e r e a f t e r , it appea red , banking was somewha t of a sideline.

He and his brother Redmond had bred a pack of hounds and built t h e f a m o u s Green Spring Valley hunt , of Glyndon, Md. Hence, knowing all the ins and outs of fox-hunting, h e proceeded rapidly to r ec r ea t e the Leices te rsh i re of the Eighteenth cen-tury . Gilbert E. Mather , a l r eady established in Chester county as a fox-hunter , was moving eas tward in sea rch of new ter r i tory . Mr. Stew-a r t bought his English foxhounds and began import ing others f rom England , along with hunters of an-cient pedigree.

There is in Mr. S tewar t ' s hunt the most ca re fu l obse rvance of all ancient t radi t ions of Brit ish fox - hunting, par t icular ly in dress . The m a s t e r and his staff wear scar le t , with c r imson col-la rs and the every-day dress is sca r l e t with cr imson facings and scar le t velvet collar .

Mr. S tewar t is a nat ive of Mary-land, re la ted to European royal ty . He was in the a r m y remount serv-ice in the World war . Incidental ly , the nat ives of Chester county have co-operated enthusiast ical ly in t h e fox-hunting, and real e s ta te va lues have risen.

t r a n s p o r t , a s of his recen t appoin tment . The re is historic p receden t for his finding a hole in the line, weaving through a broken field and planting the ball on the other side of the goal posts.

Tha t was in the f amous " c r a p g a m e " session between the Army and Navy in 1900. With less than a minute to play, " J e r r y " Land, as his s h i p m a t e s a lways called him, in the backfield for the Navy, blocked a kick and m a d e one of those F r a n k Merr iwel l zig-zags down the field, winning, 11 to 7 for the Navy, just a few seconds before the whisUe blew for the finish. Such doings a re p r e t ty much in his horoscope.

In the World war be was in the navy bureau of construct ion and repa i r and got the Navy cross for building submar ines and for bis work in the w a r zone. In 1919 be turned in the most comprehens ive and search-ing technical study of G e r m a n submar ines the navy ever got, along with a study of what they might do or t ry to do in the next war . He re t i red in March , 1937, but got only a month ' s lay-off, a s Pres iden t Roosevelt got him back on the Job as a m e m -ber of the m a r i t i m e commission. When Joseph P . Kennedy ret i red to become ambassado r to Grea t Br i ta in , Land became cha i rman of the commiss ion, and within two weeks the s a m e was shak-ing a leg as never before .

The admi ra l , a smal l , wiry, e a g e r m a n , with a touch of the mule-skin-ner about him when he 's dr iving th ings through, lost no t ime in put-ting to work the first congress ional a l lo tment of $400,000,000 for building our m e r c h a n t mar ine .

He is a nat ive of Canon City, Colo., and a cousin of Charles Lind-bergh. At Annapolis, he was tops, not only in footbaU but in severa l o ther sports , and rowed the bow oar on the a c a d e m y crew. He was the successful conciliator in tha t long-drawn-out A r m y and Navy ath-let ics row of a few y e a r s ago.
