There isn't as much copper and bronze
about as you thought there was. And a
woman is packing the bedding into a
huge trunk. You ask about the latter.
"Oh. It Is the custom to furnish your
own linen" You learn.
That's funny. But perhaps II would
be good idea to have some bed linen
OF your own. you think. You decide
that you will look into that.
Then there Is the inventory" the
owner reminds you. Yes. you have 10
sign an inventory, you know. and must
leave when you go everything that is
in the inventory"
The owner shows you several closely
written pages Of inventory that he has
already prepared. There Is still much
to be done. But you take look at II.
1t doesn't seem possible that there is so
much in the house.
Hardly any Of the words mean any
thing to you. You see that you are go
ing to sign a receipt for heaven know,
what, and that there may be a three
ringed circus included for all you know.
Dismal Predictions Come True.
Meanwhile. according to Mr.. Hickok' s
narrative. you have confirmed the price
of sl1 sheets, you have found YOU can't
get fire for the fireplace. OF course YOU
can get wood at sixty cents for four
sticks The apartment has been strIpped
almost nude. Everything your friends
said about the Inconvenience and cost
alas! appears only too true. But you've
signed the engagement"
Comes then the moment for signing
the real lease. The owner, the agent,
his wife and a notary are there. There
is no open window through which you
can jump. But the engagement" slip
lies there on the table. II you could
only spirit II away You side closer to

then tumble II into your pocket
Then. Siding to the door. YOU draw
youi self up 10 the height OF dignity and
make n speech--your declaration of in
dependence. Your captors look on in
utter ignorance. You rhetorlcally sum
up your grievance and then with a
flourish of your hand and a toss OF your
name, you dart out and reach the street
and after running three blocks without
encountering a policeman. you reach your
room and sink down in exhaustion. The
next day you begin TO plan to rent n

Almost weekly these days We are re-
minded of the responsible which VIC
have assumed in bcc6ming the big
brother 10 a whole lot OF small nations.
Orestes Ferrera former speaker of tho
Cuban House Of Representatives. has
asked for tho supervision OF the United
states in the coming ELECTION in Cuba.
herrera Is a leader of party which
claims that the last election was stolen.
and since the United States will permit
no revolution in Cuba, he contends we
ought ut least use our efforts to see that
Cuba has an honest election. There is q
GOOD deal Of sound sense in Ferrers's
contention The authority NJ the United
states government should not be used 70

ear, state, a regime that does not have
the support Of the majority Of the Gu
