Tales of the Friendly Forest
BY DAVID CORY

Now let us think and see where
we left off last time. oh, yes, re-
member now. The Jack-'o-lantern
had just gone out, and Uncle Lucky
and Billy Bunny and Mrs. Bunny too,
didn't know what to do, for the
lamps on the Luckymobile wouldn't
burn, you remember, and. of course.
the three little rabbits were afraid
the Policeman Dog might come along
and arrest them. Now wasn't that
a predicament. which means a peck
OF trouble or a bushel of anxiety.
Ana then what do you suppose the
wise old gentleman rabbit did. Why
he took out one of his big long cigars
and lighted it and then he stuck 1t
inside the Jack~o'- lantern and that
Jack-o' lantern smoked that cigar
so hard that it gave a lovely light,
and by and by they got back to the
Old Brier Patch as safely as you
please and the Policeman Dog never
knew q thing about 1t, and neither
would ] if Robbie Redbreast hadn't
told me all about it this morning
when he stood on my window sill
and whistled "Over There!"
well, I've had a pretty nice birth
day" said dear, kind Uncle Lucky
bSL 20 10 Inc CUPBOARD ana see IL
there's any birthday cake left" But,
would you believe it, it was all gone,
even the twenty-one candles, for
Uncle Lucky was twenty-one and a
little more, only he'd never tell how
much morel
Who has taken the cake?" said
Mrs. Bunny, and she looked in the
pepper box and the flour barrel and
under the kitchen stove, and a lot of
other places too. But she couldn't
find it.

Now isn't that too bad?" she ex-
claimed to a little gray mouse
who lived in the house she'd built in
the wall alongside the hall and her
little front door was the hole in the
floor. Goodness. gracious me! There
goes my typewriter again making
up poetry, and + didn't have time to
put it in pretty verse. But never
mind: 1t rhymes just the same.
Please excuse me-" said the little
gray mouse. but I thought you had
left the cake for me, SO / took it
home and my little mice children
have had a lovely time!"
ooh, that's all right" said dear
kind, generous Uncle Lucky. But /
hope they didn't eat up the green
candles, for green is very, very bad
to eat. Why, it's worse than red!"
And this frightened Mrs. Mouse
so that she ran back into the hole to
see If her little children had done
sue a thing. And while she was
gone a loud knocking came at the
kitchen door. Who's that, I won
der?" said Billy Bunny. and then he
peeked through the keyhole. And
wasn't ita lucky he didn't open the
door. . Well, guess it was, and
you'll think SO, too, when tell you
VINO was standing outside. 1t was
Old Man Weasel, and if there is
anybody in the Friendly Forest the
little rabbits feared more than Dad
dy Fox it was this wicked old weasel.
Go way, go way. don't come in here,
You are no friend to us, 1 fear.
We will not open up the door,
So go away and come no more"
But what the old weasel said I'll
tell you in the next story.

certain localities. He is to destroy
the northern section of Common
chon, Ugny-Le- Gay, Villequier- Au-
mont, LIE Gaisnel, Faillouel, Frieres-
Faillouel and the roads joining them
with Nemesis as well as the
bridges on the roads west.
All soldiers are bound ITO assist
to the best Of their ability in the ex-
ecution of this mission. The rear
guard battalions will select groups
to complete the work of destruction.
These attachments will not set fire
to things until the right moment 1t
will be remembered that there are
means to defile all wells. Mines
must not be exploded too soon"
The villages mentioned in the fore
going order are west of La Fere and
now are held by the French. They
were given up by the Germans in
their retirement from Ham early in
September.

London, Sept 21.-It was by COM

"The force of the explosion turned
his machine clean over, and stopped

the engine, did he manage, single

Germans Told TO Be More

With the American Army in Lor-
raine, Sept. 20.-(By The Associated
Press, 1880 A. M.)-German troops
recently were ordered to be more
methodical in the destruction of
property in the regions evacuated by
them. An order from the commander
'of the 10th infantry brigade to the
rear guards dated Sept. says:
"A recent army order demands
that we proceed In the future with
more method and less haste in the

upon in the fighting to break the

Germany has lost her chance to
force peace on the allies before the
A@erican armies enter the fight with
all their strength. This was her hope

AUTO CLEARANCE
 HOUSE POPULAR

continued success has marked the opening of the Phoenix Auto Clearine House under the management of W Ii. Grant The concern represents something new in the sale of used cars. It has become the clearing house Tor many of the largest Phoenix auto dealers, the organization in many cases taking over their entire stock of used cars.
 Buying used cars on a large scale mas enabled them to make their pur- chases at low figures and subseouent- ly sell at attractive prices to the public.
 MT. Grant stated that he felt his method of handling the used car was solving the problem for the dealer who was always accumulating them from the sale of new cars. He further stated that owing to greater curtaiI- ment by the government of the ont put Of new cars the used car would rise Tn price and eventually be sold at premium.
 The interest the public has shown III the great variety and number of cars shown is attested in the laree number of sales the company has mad. In its ten days of business.

METHOD IF APPLYING
 GRAPHITE |S SECRET

The process of applying granhite +o the surface of automobile tnhas ie considered by many, one of the ereat est advances in inner tube construc- tlon that has occurred for man,, years so it is not at all surprising tnat the method of applying the sraphlte IS kept as a carefully guarn- ed secret by the Savage company the only company to make a tube of this type. Only one or two trusted em- pioyees of the company are familiar Witn all or the steps in preparing and appiylng the graphite.
 inc tuDe department at the Savage factory Is closed to the public. but aecoroing to R. B. Lee, the Savage auveIuslng manager, it would be prdctlcally impossible for any one to uisGoVer now the graphite is applied "i.ioue naVlng received complete de- .ans or the process in advance, even .nousn ready access to the Savage luOe factory were granted.
 ufdphlte, as coating for the Say age tuDe, Was decided upon only after eAnaustlve tests and experiments that tasted TOT many months During the eAperlpental stage, the use of mica. soaestone and many other materials were tried. At one time the idea of making a non-stick tube was about to be abandoned, because so many serious objections were found to other materials. Graphite, however, solved the difficulty.
 Won't Stick Together
 Graphite is about the only material that has practically speaking, neither cohesion or adhesion-that is, the particles of graphite will not adhere to each other or stick to particles of other matter. The particles of which graphite is formed are so small that under pressure they can be forced through glass. Graphite does not affect rubber in any way. As it's jet black color indicates, graphite is im- pervious to light. Another advantage claimed for it's use on inner tubes is that 1t protects the tube from the action of light, and in this way pre- vents deterioration and keeps the | rubber from drying out
 It's exclusive graphite coating, to- gether with it's other good qualities. | Is making the Savage graphite tube very popular. The tube department | at the San Diego plant was recently | enlarged to meet the demand.

 Satisfactory work has always been a hobby with "Joe," as he is famil- iarly called by autoist friends here and With him 1t has been matter of prin- clple never to let an unsatisfactory job get out of the shop. So confident is he in his knowledge of the business and of the quality of the materials used, that he now makes a practice of guaranteeing all work.

 FORCES HAVE BECOME ccNGEsTED.

Washington, Feb. 5.--ln yeiw of the difficulty in findin ships 10 put American fighting power in France, General Bliss. representing the United States at the military sessions of the supreme war council. is considering with British officials the advlsability
 of staring flow of American bat
 talions through the British training system to front line trenches in
 Flanders This project. it was learned
 today has been talked over in vari-
 ous forms. One of the concre;e pro-
 posals is that 150 battalions be as- signed for such training.
 Congestion at the American de- barkation ports ir France lies back of
 the suggestion By diverting certain uni to British ports, passing them
 through the British system and finally transferring them to General Persh- | ing's army it has been urged that considerable body of men could he
 trained and put on the firing line who
 otherwise could not be sent forward TOT DOHtHSt
 It is known that proffers of British | and French ships to carry American troops have accompanied urgent rep resentaiions from the other side in | behalf of th eearly movement of as many men as possible across the At antic. There are intimations tha, IGreat Britain transports already have
 been used to carry American troops The question apparently is one of
 maintaining continuous supply lines | for all troops sent over rather than
 of finding ships to carry the men, Secretary Baker today refused 0 disiuss any of the questions involved 1 in the shipping situation. Asked spe-
 officially as to the proposal to train
