These were not happy days on the
Green Meadows and in the Green For

These were bad enough some days and
caused no end of worry. because it
was so very, very hard to find food
enough. 1t was the presence there of
Whitley the Snow Owl, the White Rob
He had come down from the Far North,
driven down by hunger. He was big
and strong and fierce, and the very
sight OF him struck terror to the hearts
of all save those too big to fear him.
But even the latter hated him, because
he took the food they felt was theirs by
right. Whitley would have told them
it wasn't theirs until they caught it,
and that he had just as much right
there as they had. But, of course,
they wouldn't have admitted this.
Crow, those mischievous cousins, whose
wits are SO sharp that ordinarily they
fear NO one, were afraid. Sammy Jay
had been chased into the thickcst hem

again for an hour. Blacky the Grow

TO escape at all when he had been sur
prised by Whitley early one morning;
even blacky's snarp G. es had failed to
see him in the white coat. 1t got so
that neither Sammy nor Blacky dared

In Forty States
Lords Day Alliance Will
Carry Fight for Better
Observance Direct to Leg
islatures; No National Act

The Lords Day Alliance will enlarge
its activities this year in connection
with the campaign being waged
throughout the country for non-con1-
mercial observance of the Sabbath.
The Rev. Harry l.. Bowlby, general
secretary Of the Alliance, told Trib-
une reporter yesterday that the organi-
cation. efforts will be intensified by
direct appeals to the Legislatures of
forty states.
DR.. Bowlby oenied that the Alliance
has sought or is seeking the passage
OF national statute or constitutional
amendment for Sabbath regulation,
"The real issue is between COM
mercial and non-commercial' Sunday"
SAID DR.. Bowlby. "There are forty
Legislatures in session this year, as
against sixteen or eighteen a year ago.
The Alliance will enlarge it's activities
IN several states to prevent an in
invasion of commercialism into our
American rest day. This will require
a larger expense and as the people see
the needs they'll respond with iinan-
cial aid.
"The South is being organized now,
under the direction of DR.. l. Cochran
Hunt, who is backing the work in
Tennessee and only last week had in
troduced a Sunday bill in the Legisla-
ture. 1t is not the bill calling for a
travelless Sunday such as was intro
duced earlier in the session and to
which the Lords Day Alliance never
did subscribe"

Morrison was summoned from his
home and Brcnner's release was
effected six hours after he had been
locked inside by q teller ignorant Of
his presence.
Brenner retained his presence OF
mind throughout the ordeal. He slept
part of the time and when the air be-
came so sitting that be became drowsy
he opened drawers along the side Of
the vault to release additional sir. A
mouse was found suffocated within the
vault.
At q p. m. Monday Receiving Teller
Midway looked hurriedly into the
vault, shouted to the cashiers. asking
them if they had all turned in their
collections, and then closed the heavy
doors. No one had seen Brenner enter
the vault. He was on circular bal
cony for a pay warrant. He heard
Midway ask the cashiers if everything
was all right The assistant treasurer
shouted an order not to close the doors,
but they swung shut, automatically
plunging the vault into darkness.
When Morrison, after a record run
from Holmesburg, his suburban home,
thrust the heavy doors open, he found
Brenner leaning weakly against the
railing of stairway in the vault.
