UNCLE TED TELLS OF VISIT TO
WASHINGTON, AND APPAR-
ENT DESIRE OF NATIONS.

1T seems mighty hard these days
with the many big men in session at
Washington for the greatest confer

Ted. after the Riddles had managed
once more, as usual, to persuade him
to give them a story.
IL would like to tell you a story
about hunting trip just took into
the deep woods, but I'm afraid that
wouldn't tell you very much you
don't already know. If | remember
correctly, / have told you before
how deeply was impressed when
was in Washington with the sim
certify of the men who are there to
accomplish something toward that
seemingly impossible goal of peace.
| can't help but feel that there is
little else important today than TO
get behind our President and boost
him in this great effort, He has no
doubts but that the conference will
succeed-succeed to the point of
cutting down the terrible display OF
armament with its natural attend
ant cost and heavy taxation upon the
people of the several countries of the
world. Many newspapers and mag
azines throughout the United States
(and l imagine the world, for that
matter) are taking pessimistic
