Good Illustration Of German Charac-

One American who remained at
Lille during the German occupation

you take care of that nest"
Poor trembling Johnnie had to
watch his nest pulled in pieces before
his very eyes, but what they were to
do to him interested him much more,
for the family looked very cross.
Grandfather Rock first told Johnnie
what a grave offense it was for a
young Rock not to respect his family
trees and go away by himself and
then every one began to chatter.
"Pick him hard" said some. "Beat
him with our wings" said others,
while others cried, death to the de-

limb where he sat with fright and his
feathers shook with his trembling.
What would have happened to John

Grandmother Rock spread her wings
and flew to branch above the others.
"Give him one more chance" she
said; "he is very young and am sure
he did not know how terrible it is
for one of our family to go by him.
self"
And so after great deal of arguing
and chatterlng it was decided to give
Johnnie another chance, which you
may be sure he was very glad to have.
He flew back to the family trees, and
from that day there was no more
loyal Rock in the family than Johnnie.

REVOLVING Door Etiquette.

The etiquette of the revolving door
has yet to be standardized. At pres
ent there are two schools of opinion
on the subject. One holds that when
a man and a woman approach re-
vOlving door it is the mans place to
go first, pushing the door slowly SO
as to allow his partner to follow In
the next compartment without any ef.
fort on her part. The other contends
that ladies first still holds sway. 1t lie
good manners, these theorists say, for
the man to step aside, let the woman
start the door revolving, and then
jump into the compartment behind
her. In this way, 1t is cOntcnded, the
man may assume control of the; door
and guide it until the woman ahead
of him is safely out. The bitterest
rivalry prevails between the two

all this fuss about keeping with the

HAYS TAKES CHARGE
 OF ROBBERY PROBE
Losses May Be Even Greater
 Than Million Dollars

3 New York, Oct 27-Postmaster General Hays arrived here today to take personal charge of the investiga- ton of last Mondays registered mail robbery by aurom obile bandits who held up a mail truck and escaped with five pouches filled with bonds, securities and currency.
 News that. the postmaster general was coming to take a hand in the case led to reports that the losses were even higher than the $1,000,000 figure intimated by post office au- thorit1es.
 The post office officials still with issued by banks and brokerage houses showed total known loss of ss28,- 925. This was exclusive of large. shipment of currency reported to have been included in one of the pouches and which was said to have been the main object of the robbers. Most of the bonds and other securities, it was pointed out were listed in the owners names and the thieves could scarcely hope to realize on them. It was feared these securities might be destroyed. Frank Havraneck. driver of the footed truck was called from his home for another questioning by post office inspectors today. Hav- raneck has been under almost con- tinual examination since the robbery occurred and yesterday added im- portant details to his story of the holdup. Among these was the detail I of a black automobile which he said pulled labead of the mail truck and slowed down, apparently for the pur- pose of aiding the bandits who came up in a green automobile.
 The inspectors also let it be known that Havraneck had given l them a white muslin laundry bag
 which he said had been pulled over his head and tied before the bandits
 rified his truck. The owners names
 had been torn from the bag but one | letter at the end of the name-an "E' l-remained and the bag is regarded
 as valuable clue. Havraneck selected
 the photograph of one gunman, who
 he said closely resembled one of the | holdup men.
