 "oh, you darling child! And sometimes, when you did not write I thought perhaps that you did not care about me any more. I hesitated about coming to you for I knew 1t would break my heart if you were not glad to see me"
 Please, please, Aunt Virginia, nev- CT think that. I have had many a queer. little. sick feeling down in the pit of my stomach when I thought of you so far away. Why. when Gloria married and went away, and Kitty died just thought l never would be able to stay here without you

U. s. Merchant Marine Commands Interest
 Of Interior States

800 Davidson Building
 Washington, May S1.-(Speclal)- )-- Interior states which formerly dis played little interest In proposed de- velopment of an American merchant marine are now more interested than states having ports, according to a statement issued this morning by the National Merchant Marine assooia- tion.
 It is also contended that the Gulf States are more interested than those on the north Atlantic or Pa cific seaboards.
 Chambers of commerce and com meroial organizations indorsing the shipping bill or subsidy bill now be- fore committees of Congress are lo- cated as follows, the statement says:
 New England States. 13; North At lantic States, 14; Pacific coast states, IT. southern and gulf states, 24; mid dle western states, so.
 The statement continues; Not q single chamber of commerce or or ganization of business men is on rec ord against the bill Only eight or ganizations are on record as op- posed. Six of them are labor organi- zations. The remaining two are the smaller farm organizations. The largest farm organization, the Amer lean Farm Bureau federation, has in- dorsed it."
 The President Is insistent that the bill be enacted. It Is his hope that Congress will pass 1t, while the House and Senate conferees are try ing to iron out their differences re- specting the tariff bill.

 All unsuspecting I went up to Mrs Chester's room. They had heard me coming. for as I reached the door 1t was opened.

HARDING APPOINTS
 7,088 P0STMASTERS


 Washington, May S1.-(Special.l- l-- During the democratic administration an ex-service man on the eligible list waa made postmaster. During the republican administration to date. only 50 per cent of ex-service men who, after examinations, obtained places on the eligible lists, were give appointments
 The facts are obtained from an official statement issued by the first assistant postmaster general.
 x-serviee men who made the necessary grades numbered 1.6oi. Only SIS were appointed. Half were eliminated-all democrats, probably to appease republican referees who deslred jobs for their political fol- lowers.
 In all, President Harding has ap- pointed TOSS postmasters. Of the ramber 1,633 were women. Of the women appointed, 263 were first on the eligible list; 1e2 second, and a5 third. Four hundred and eighty eight were reappointed.

had eaten few leaves he forgot everything else. He ate and ate as fast AS he could. and forgot all about keeping watch. Presently he looked up. The Chucks had disappeared. Peter looked everywhere for them. but he couldn't find them. Finally he gave up and slowly hoped back into the dear Old Briar-p patch. He went at once to the entrance to that old house which the Chucks had taken. There on the doorstep sat Johnny Chuck. Once more Peter was sadly puzzled.
 At last Johnny Chuck took pity on Peter and told him that they had q secret doorway near the edge of the Old Briar patch, but would not tell him just where. Of course. Peter went to hunt for it. After long search he found 1t. Then he under stood. At once he hurried to tell little Mrs. Peter.
 The Chucks have a secret door way at the dge of the Old Briar- patch" explained Peter. And think they are going to use that all together. I don't believe fii'ey will bother US in the Old Briar-pateh." And in this Peter was right. So 1t was that peace and happiness came to the old Briarpatch.

 Isn't she just lovely, Mrs. Ches- teri" I asked my good friend.
 Eddie Montforth. you were just horrid to make me think that it was something else that you had up here for me"
 What have you been doing to yourself. child? You have grown up," smiled Aunt Virginia approv- ingly, as soon as she could interrupt my almost incoherent speech.
 "No. l haven't grown up. l haven't grown an inch since I came out kere."
 But you look so different. child. Oh. it's your hair. l don't think l have ever seen you with 1t up"
 T am just wearing my old braids wound around my head. Aunt Vir- ginia. Although my height hasn't in- creased an inch I think my character has. Behold in your niece a real moving picture actress. Aunt vir- ginia." I laughed, "and you have got ten here just in time to see ma do one Of the stunts you have seen on the screen.
 tomorrow am going to be blown up in a yacht and secuted from the water by the hero. who is no other than the great Theodore stratton."
 ''virgie, what are you talking about" interrupted Eddie. You don't even know how to swim"
 Indeed I do, MT. Montforth. l have been taking swimming lessons ever since I knew I was going to have this part. The swimming teach CT says I am one Of the best he has ever turned out in such short time."
 "But surely the thing will not be really done"
 If you mean by really that the boat will be blown up while I am on 1t. no. But real boat is going to be blown up and sunk off the rocks. But before this I am going to be thrown out into the water so that the camera will get something more realistic than picture of a young woman making dive"
 "You must not do 1t. virgie., You can never do it."
 That is right. MT. Montforth. Persuade her not to do it." urged Mrs Chester. T have been trying to talk her out of this mad adventure for long while. There is no reason why she should not have 'double'- a professional swimmer"
 "Nonsensei Of course I can do it. Z insisted. Aunt Virginia. you and Eddie and Mrs. Chester can corre down and be on the yacht when I am thrown overheard. There will be one camera on the yacht and one on a raft below. Tn this way they hope to get something that is particularly realistic"

Johnny Chuck worked. Polly Chuck worked. Neither one wasted moment. They may seem lazy folks when you see them sitting around doing nothing but when they have something to do they do 1t without waste of time. They were in hurry to get that old house in the heart of the dear Old Briar- r-patch in order. The heap of yellow sand which would be the doorstep in the middle of the Briar- patch grew sur prisingly fast.
 Peter Rabbit sat around looking on and secretly glad that he didn't have to work like that. There was just one thing that worried Peter. It was the fear that Johnny Chuck would cut such a big path through the brambles to his doorstep that Reddy Fox might get in the Old Briarpatch in that way. But Peter need not have wor- ried. Neither Johnny nor Polly Chuch had any idea of doing such a thing as that.
 Polly was digging long hall out to the edge of the Old Briar-patch. She worked hard and fast. Just in- side the edge of the Briar- patch and behind little bush she opened the tHLTdHN6 IO that bAiis @A'N sssANN - just big enough for Johnny and her self to pass through comfortably. There was no yellow sand around It to show where 1t was. All the sand was pushed back and out of the en- trance in the heart of the Old Briar- patch. The other entrance would be likely to be seen only by the sharpest eyes. Yet this was to be the main entrance.
 At last the work was all done. No more sand was thrown out at the entrance in the middle of the Briar- patch. Johnny Chuck disappeared in- side and though Peter sat around for a long time he saw no more Of Johnny.
 The Chuck family must be taking rest down inside" muttered Peter to himself. T should think they the way they work for anything in the world" You know Peter isn't at all fond of work.
 By and by he grew tired of sitting around and hopped over through one Of his private little paths to the edge of the Old Briar-patch to get some sweet clover on the Green Meadows. When he poked his head outside he blinked his eyes very fast several times Then he hoped out and sat up to stare at Johnny Chuck and Polly Chuck and the four little Chucks eating sweet clover out there as fast as they could. Peter was so sure that they were down inside that house that he had the hardest kind of work to make himself believe that he really saw what he did see. You see, he knew nothing about that new doorway.
 At last Peter found his tongue. Hi. Johnny Chuck.' he cried. How did you get out here?'
 Johnny looked up and grinned. Its secret" was all he said.
 Peter at once made up his mind that he would find out that secret. So he sat around and watched. but by and by his stomach would no longer give him any peace and he decided that he might as well fill his stomach while he watched. Now that clover was very sweet and after Peter

Washington, May 31.-(Special.l:- The bureau of the census. department of commerce. in issuing figures on the marital condition in Birmingham. indicates certain facts of great in terest the existence of which Is per- haps not suspected.
 With the population of males
 and females of marrfageab1e age
 almost identical, there are more
 married men in Birmingham thaa
 married women. While it would
 naturally be presumed that there
 is . divorced man for every di-
 sorced womnn, the number of
 such men Is 531. and the number
 of such women Is 071. An inves-
 tigation would possibly disclose
 the fact that divorced men, un-
 nbie to stand the Sepntation, die
 quickly. or, desiroux of spread
 ing wings long fettered. hastened
 to put as great distance as pos
 sible between themselves and
 their former spouses.
 Census Figures
 Widowers in Birmingham number 3.221; widows 9.421. This would pos sibly indicate that Birmingham men dl v AccS dbAc than W0ii- en to stand the strain of married life. which Is possibly not complimentary to the vitality of the men.
 The population of Birmingham. s5 years of age and over is divided as follows: Males, e3.975: females, s4,- ITS. While there are more women than men, more men are married, the figures being 39,373 men and 39,0f9 women.
 In the earlier years of Brming- ham adult life. the proportion of married women Is larger than the proportion of married men. The cen sus bureau says this is due to the fact that women marry younger than men. The proportion of married men over 45 years old is greater than the proportion of women of over 45 years.
 The population 45 years of age and over includes 1.0Ss single men and 6a.; single women, which might in- dieate several things.

Ddugherty Fails
 To Hush Critics
 For Morse Pardon
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald,
 500 DaVidM0n BuLldiI


 Washington, May s1.-(special9- Since ehis publication of the fact that numerous senators and representa- tives Joined in a petition that c. w. Morse be released from the federal penitentiary of Atlanta. Attorney General Harry NJ Daugherty be- lieved that he has cleared his skirts of all blame for having participated in that national scandal.
 As matter of fact, 1t is gathered from the petitioners, who are still members of Congress, that their tender" hearts were touched by the professional propag gandists in the service of Morse, who urged that the rich malefactor be permitted to spend his last thirty" days in the sun shine. But Instead of carrying out his implied promise to die within a month, Morse sailed for Europe, and today, 12 years afterward, is again in the tolls of the law.
 Mir. Daugherty's critics have not been estopped by the publication of the petition signed by congressman. There is yet much to Le cleared up. Senator James E. Watson of Indiana. who essays to speak for the adminls- tration, declared positively that Daugherty had had nothing to do with securing the Morse pardon, and had obtained no money for any serN- ice. The Attorney General, A days afterward, in a letter addressed to Watson. declared that the senator had spoken in error.
 From the Congressional Record of May 2, the following dialogue Is taken:
 MT. Watson: He tDaugherty) did not get him (Morsel out of the peni- tentiary. He had not anything to do with getting him out of the peniten- tiary. He received no fee for getting him out of the penitentiary.
 Mfr. Caraway: How does the sena- tor know that?'
 '.Mr. Watson: l know it from the language of the Attorney General
 Mir. Carsway: Did he tell the sem ator that he did not?
 MT. Watson: He did"
 Daugherty now confesses that ne got sa.00o for his services.
 AIabamlans who signed the peu- tion for the release of Morse were Judge Henry D. Clayton of Mont gomery and Capt Richmond F. Hob son of California, then members or Congress, and Senator J. Thomas Heflin.
