cuffy Bear knew that 1t was time for him 10 be going. He grabbed al bulky object that hung on level with his nose, pulled 1t down, seized it with his teeth and burst out into the night
 A light flashed through the gloom end for an instant fell squarely upon him. Somebody shrieked. A high pitched voice screamed. "Oh! Oh! A bear"
 Cuny didn't wait to hear anything more. but plunged into the forest and ran and ran and ran. In one way it was easy for him to run, for he was frightened. But in another way it carried in his mouth tasted so good that he wanted to sit right down and cat It. IL was meat of some sort He knew that much. It was meat with a delicious salty. smoky flavor.
 However he kept on his way, never stopping until he rushed into the fam fly den, dropped his burden on the floor, and exclaimed I've brought home treat"
 His father and his mother and his sister crowded around the treat and sniffed at it.
 What is it7" Cuffy asked
 T don't know said Mir. Bear. "Ill cat some and see if it tastes good and if the family ought to chance it." So he tore off a mouthful of the strange meat and quickly swallowed it, smack ing his lips.
 Do you like t, Ephraim?" Mrs. Bear inquired.
 T can't quite make rp my mind" Mr. Bear replied 'I'll have to try another sample" So he took bigger mouthful than before.
 T want a taste" Cuffy whined.
 Give me a bite." cried Silkie.
 Wait until I've had another sam pie" their father told them. This is a new kind of meat. should hate to have 1t disagree with you"
 Does it taste good?' Mrs. Bear asked him.
 Well" answered her husband "I hardly know what to say can eat it. But the rest of you might not like 1t"
 Well run the risk" Mrs. Bear de- cided Just you step back Eph- rainl, and let me and the children have bit"
 Mir. Bear drew back somewhat grumpiy. If it makes you i'll, don't blame me-" he muttered.
 The dainty did not last long. Tn few minutes it was all gone, except a choice bone which Mir Bear seized and hid somewhere. remarking that he didn't want to break a tooth on it.

INVISIBLE EMPIRE
 AGAIN HAS SESSION
But Little SecreCy--PiloWs and
 Bed Sheets Missing

Lacking much of it's melodramatic mystery, and showing all indications of careful and painstaking preparation for some time previous to the actual meeting, the Ku kluX klan held an- other spectacular meeting on a farm near Middletown last night.
 Like a group of small boys playing detective the mystery existed only in the minds of the principal performers. Few of the knights of the so-cslled invisible empire wore hoods or masks Most of them made no attempt to conceal their identity. Cars were marked by ribbons tied to radiator caps.
 Stage All Set.
 The meeting took place on the farm of Clifford C. Plum, in the Westfeld district, where platform had been erected previously, electric lights had been installed the fiery cross. of wood and cotton was erected, and in fact all the stage setting prepared as though for a home talent production.
 Regular Dime Novel Stuff.
 As though 10 lend color to the af- fair, men with L. s. army 45 revol- vers, at least one wearing some kind of a military uniform, warned the in- auisitive away, but not so far away but what they could see. \ Lovers of the spectacular from Hartford were there in force. There were few hum dred cars, said to come from all over Connecticut and Massachusetts, but for some unknown reason New Britain seemed to have been overlooked.
 The Sccretless Secret.
 Meriden is said to have furnished the candidates, of whom reports from the "sekret konklave" say there were 175. The usual ritualistic service was gone through with the aid of electric lights installed for the purpose, al- though it is said, Great secrecy pre- vailed as to the place of the initia- tion."
 Manhandling the Fiery Cross.
 At the appointed hour match was put to the wooden cross, upon which was wired quantity of cotton and as 1t blazed, the klansmen drove away. So great CD was the meeting that none knew about it excepting hundreds of spectators and group of young men who pulled down the fiery cross and carried it to the corner of Wash ington and Main streets where it was viewed by many.

AMERICAN PACKERS
 BREAK GERMAN PRICE
United States Frozen Meats May Have Effect on High Costs of
 Berlin Shops.

Berlin, July 22.-American frozen meat promises shortly to release Ger many's army of bread winners from the ring of high prices which has for butcher shops of Berlin. Local deal- CTS are being inundated with offers from packing firms in the United States, and Hugo Shines. the indus trial magnate. has contracted with the Argentine government for deliv- ies on a large scale. Representative of wholesale dealers in Argentina also are reported to be negotiating big contracts here.
 With shops charging 100 to 120 marks per pound for roasting meat and proportionatey high rates for other cuts, the German laboriag-man or the middleclass worker finds it too expensive to have meat in his menu more than twice a week. at the most, On his wages of four to five thousand marks monthly. It Is estimated that frozen meat from the United States can be delivered in Hamburg at 60 marks kiloEranl. At this rate, a pound would come to some 40 to 50 marks in the retail, shops of Berlin.
 The situation has become so diff cult for many Of the poorer Germans that they have resorted in some places to consumers buying strikes" Shops which formerly were busy from morning till night have been obliged to close except for two days a week The effect has been keenly felt in the Berlin stockyards, where reduced con- sumption has forced 500 employees out of work within the last few weeks
 One of the causes of high prices Is said to be the necessity for whole salers and stockyards to buy livestock at prices quoted on the hoof. They have fought this practice for years, claiming that 50 per cent. of an ani- nal is lost for profitable retail in buy ing it according to live weight rather than to the poundage after slaughter.

snorted with pleasure. And then he jumped; for he heard voice from the first ten--a voice which said, Please stop snoring. You walked me up"
 There was a sleepy response. Cuffy kept quite still until the sounds of talking stopped, Then he started to find way to get inside the little tent It was lashed down tightly all around it. Even the flaps that formed the doors were tied fast together. Cuffy stuck a paw between them and gave a quick downward pull. His claws tore the flaps apart and in he went.
 A loud crash startled him as he knocked frying pan off hook and sent it clattering down upon a tin dish. He gave grunt of surprise For moment he was tempted to run. But he couldn't drag himself away from the store of good things So he tegan to nose about in the darkness. Soon he tipped over 8 box of knives and forks and spoons, And then voice from outside cried, There's somebody in our cook tent"

GOOD BILL AT PALACE.

The feature photoplay attraction at
 the Palace tonight and the first half of the week presents Allan Dwan's new production "A Perfect Crime" Il has for its hero Wally Griggs, played by Monte Blue, poor grovelling bank messenger who quite suddenly decides to rob the bank. Part of his plan is to establish another identity for an alibi and this other personality grows upon him to the extent that he really becomes as fascinating and manly as he was awkward and dull. An un- scrupulous district attorney who pur- sues the girl Wally loves provides the exciting part of the picture. Jacque- lre Logan, who supports Monte Blue. IS a former Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic star. and in the leading feminine role she is revealed as little lady of ex- ceptional talent as we'll as that of un- usual grace and beauty for which all the Ziegfeld girls are noted. Other films include the final round of "The Leather Pushers," with Reginald Denny; new chapter of With Stan ley in Africa" with George Walsh, and tie popular Pathe News. The Keith bill should prove very en- tertaining as four very good acts are promised the first half of the week. Anthony X Adams offer an excellent musical novelty that shows up their ability as musicians; Helen Vincent is 9. singing comedian who has a wealth of personality and new numbers: Douglas &; Earl are big favorites everywhere and their comedy offering is bound to be well received here; and La Fleur and Portia have a nov city offering that is very good.

Odd Pockets Are Feature Of Advance Fall Gowns

Pockets may be useful, but they must be ornamental. So if you are buying an advance model of the new separate skirts for autumn look well to the pockets.
 Embroidered borders of striking colors are the newest thing about fall skirts. These borders. indeed, were shown on many of the smartest sum- mer skirts of white.
 Black, brown, gray, navy blue and tan are the colors shown as back grounds for the vivid embroidered or woven bands. often 13 inches deep.
 The pockets are likely to be strange and wonderful things of odd sizes and shapes. Otherwise skirts remain about the same width, are slightly longer, and are shown in both plain and pleated models.

CUFFY AND THE CAMPERS.

As Cuffy Bear grew older he wan dered farther from home. His moth CT began to let him stay out of doors after lark. Cuffy liked that. And he longed for the time when he could spend a whole night prowling about mountain and meadow, as his father sometimes did.
 It was on one of his nightly excur- sIons that Cuffy came upon two great white shapes that stood beside the lake.
 Houses" he exclaimed. He was greatly surprised, for he had never known that people lived there. Very quietly he crept up to one of the dwellings, and touching his nose against it. found to his engagement that 1t was soft and yielding How Queer." he murmurmed. Those ve:e the first tents he had ever seen.
 He moved on then to the other tent. It was like the first, but smaller. And it gave forth more delicious odors than Cuffy had ever sniffed before all at the same time. He snuffed and

Bulgaria Has Alarming Shortage of
 Flower Industry
 Sofia, Bulgaria, July 24-Bulgaria' s great altar of roses industry, hereto fore one of her principal assets, is in danger of complete collapse. Figures just published show that last years output of the most fragrant and pre- cious perfume in the world amounted to only 2,000 pounds. This is one fourth of the pre-war product. At one time Bulgaria produced 95 per cent of the worlds supply of altar of roses.
 The decline in the industry Is due partly to an unchecked disease in the rose bushes, partly to the neglect of the gardens as a result of mobiliza- ton, partly to decreased demand for the product from the United States,
