RUNAWAY JAVA SPARROW
is RETURNED TO FOLD
10 Back With HE Sorrowing Mate
After Months Sojourn in Parts
Unknown.


After Months SoJourn in Parts
Unknown.
New York.-Tommo, errant ia.
va sparrow, is back at the Children's
Museum in Brooklyn after months
sojourn in parts unknown. and while
he is busy telling it all, bird fashion,
t. his mate Quinnie, Miss Anna B.
Gallup the curator at the museum, is
trying to figure out whether fate or
providence arranged the remarkable
chain of circumstances attending
Tommo's flight and return.
1t was month ago that Miss Cul.
lup. assisted by Eugene A. McCar-
thy, one of the students at the mu-
scum. was giving Tommo and Quin-
ME their baths when Tommo flew out
Of the cage and disappeared through
an open window.
Never mind" said Miss Gallup to
the boy, "Tommo will come back"
Days went by but Tommo, prodi.
gal-like, did not return for the fatted
seed. Quinnie, with every sign of
srief, ate but little and spent most
OF the time with her beak through
the wires of the. cage looking toward
tie window through which Tommo
had escaped. Miss Gallup feared
tie bird would die.
Miss Nellie Francis MacCarthy,
an aunt of Eugene, who lives near
tie museum, brought Java sparrow
in box to Miss Gallup. The bird had
flown that morning into the. studio OF
Charles II. Budd's gift shop, in Man
haitian where Miss MacCarthy is EN-.
ployed as an artist and designer.
Eugene has identified this bird as
a Java sparrow" Miss MacCarthy
told Miss Gallup, land as you lost
one recently i have decided to pres.
ent you with: this one" g.
Miss Gallup examined the !. gray
plumage, red beak and queer white
spots on the sides of the face, that re
sAmble little whiskers, and uttered
an exclamation of Joy.
1T is Tommo!" she said and soon
Tommo was back in the cage with
Quinnie. There was joyful reunion
Quinnie was her old self again and
she and Tommo flew around the cage
IN an ecstasy of joy. After dinner
together Tommo. listened patiently to
E curtain lecture from Quinnie, and
then entered upon recital Of his
adventures. To allappearances he has
promised to settle down and become
model husband. At least, DUMMIES
manner would indicate such an agree
ment.

TOWN LONG DEAD d.
REBUILT BY FISH
Elk Springs, Mo-, Now Back On The

Elk Springs, Mo-, Now Back On The
Map; A Center for Fishermen
and Hunters.
Kansas City, Mo.-You hear a lot
about towns that used to be, but here's
story about a town that's coming
back
Elk Springs, once the capital OF
Missouri and the county seat of Nc.
Donald County, but for the last forty
years just whistling station, is beat
ing back. The fish that roam up and
down the gravel bottom of the Elk
River, once the Cowskin, are bringing
il back to its former greatness.
AT one time Elk Springs was place
worth while. 1t was quite trading
post for the hunters and trappers in
the Ozark Mountains. At that time
it was the county seat of Mcdonald
County, of five hundred inhabitants.
The Civil War came, and Elk
Springs doomed. 1t was feared the
Federals would capture the books and
records in Jefferson City, and one
night they were all loaded in wagons
and carted thru the State to Elk
Springs. There the executive officers
remained with their records several
Gays.
Then the town began to fade. One
night the county judges loaded up
their documents and sneaked over to
Pineville, six miles away. 1t was thus
that Elk Springs lost the county seat.
and its last vestige of responsibility.
In a few years nothing was left but
memories.
But the sun was again to shine for
Elk Springs. The Kansas City South
ern built road down thru Missouri.
They put up a shed there for a sta
ton. Some one built store. Travel
ers began to go thru. The Ozarks, a
part of Missouri that was practically
unknown, began to be explored. A
cool, clear river that wound in and
out among the mountains, filed with
fish of all kinds, particularly bass,
was found. They also found squirrels,
quail, wild turkeys, coons,. possums,
ducks, and other wild game, Elk
Springs became the center of the
fishermen's and hunters endeavors,
The mountains were filed with caves.

Mr.. Chamberlain asserted that no sin
gle feature Of the world situation had
placed heavier burdens upon Great
Britain than the fact that no treaty OF
peace with Turkey had been signed and
no settlement in the East had been
reached. For this, however. the Govern
ment was in no way responsible.

Mr.. Chamberlain continued that It was
not within the power Of the British Gov
ernment to remedy the Turkish situa-
ton, which was an International affair.
Everybody knew that q settlement was
being delayed, pending a decision by
the United States whether she would
undertake her part Of the white mans

The Chancellor was opposed to a levy

A levy upon war profits stood upon a
different footing, but the difficulties OF
undertaking such a scheme of taxation
we're immense and the disadvantages
outweighed the advantages.
The floating debt OF the country on
october 26, Mr.. Chamberlain told the
House, amounted to s6,430, 900, 900. He
anticipated that next year, after pro-
viding for the abnormal aftermath of
war expenditure. there would be sub
stantiaf balance on the year to 60
toward the reduction of the debt.

the effect would be that the Govern

which was tantamount to Nacing ma

to produce more than $50 Rolls Royce
engines a week. We made $50 Liberty
twelves a day. The Liberty motors
were much better and cheaper to mako.
The Rolls Royce cost S26 q horsepower.
Quoting all the statistics from mem
ory, Mr.. Ryan continued: First our
contracts allowed 12h per cent. profit
on these engines, or s62b per motor.
When I took charge I made a nat con-
tract rate of $4,000 for each motor,
which saved the Government $4,000. 900
on Liberty motors alone"
Less than a month ago Secretary OF
War Baker notified him, he said, that
England and France had settled for their
remaining bills In connection with this
production as follows For Liberty en-
gines, England, sls.5ee.71s. and France,

Defends Kerbaush Campaign.


Considerable discussion centred upon
the question OF what influence the Ker-
baugh company had that enabled 1t to
get the railroad and spruce contract
"As for the financial backing, the
s6,5o0,0o0, you'n have to ask the Wal
Credits Board" Mr. Ryan declared. "a
opinion the Kerbaugh company got the
contract because II was the only one
with the courage to accept the rig
terms of the contract"
Mr. Steinbrink sought to show that the
contract was a guarantee, but Mr.. Ryan
answered that contention by pointing to
clauses providing that failure to produce
the large quantities OF spruce specified
meant cancellation OF the contract and
loss of the benefits. He said he was not
aware that Pliny Fisk OF Harvey Fisk

of the contracts or that Mr.. Fisk was

American Footgear Considered by Un-

Anything that will keep the feet
from the ground is considered shoe

In the remote rural districts Of the
country it is said that many of the
people live and die without owning a
pair of shoes. In the bitterest weather
they travel through mud and snow
without adequate foot covering. They
consider themselves fortunate If they
can secure old gunny sacks or heavy
cloth, which they tie about their feet
with Irvine in winter.
The first American-made shoes that
were distributed by the American Red
Cross created tremendous stir
among the people of the distant vii
lagos. One old woman who had never
owned a pair before took the shoes
that had been given to her to her home
and put them on a shelf above the fire.

Gems Romantic History.

Truly romantic is the story Of, the
Braganza diamond. stone of 1860
carats, and "as large as gOose's egg, "
which, for more than century, has
been the proudest possession of the
Portuguese crown. This amazing stone,
which Mr.. Streeter, the great author
ity on gems, has valued at f5S,O0O,OOO,
was picked up by three Brazilian out
laws in the half-dried bed of the
Abaite river, in the province Of Minas
Geraes.
The outlaws took the stone to the
nearest village priest, who obtained
access for them to the governor, into
whose possession 1t was given: The
diamond, the largest and finest hither-
to found, was dispatched to Lisbon,
with the result that the three outlaws
received the royal pardon and a rich
reward, while the padre to whose
friendly ohices they owed their good
fortune was given high preferment In
the church.
