It was wonderful to slip in under the canopies made by the fast widen ing foliage and Tot Tim had been worms, which would destroy the baby leaves. were hustled about their business.
 Finally he came across a huge caterpillar which threatened to ruin a whole tree-but like all greedy persons, the caterpillar doomed him self to punishment. For he ate so much and grew so fat and heavy that he was unable any longer to keep his balance. So Tot Tim S job of speeding him away was very suddenly taken out of his hands. For the caterpillar rolled heavily out of the tree and before a cat could wink an eye had fallen down, down into very grassy yard, where he was swallowed in- stantly by . beautiful little white hen.
 Met Two Friends
 If Tot Tim had not followed the caterpillar in this downward fall, he never would have met the little girl in the green jumper. She was sit- ting flat in the grass, her feet drawn up. and very sad expression on her sober little mouth.
 Hen, what is the matter with your" the little girl was asking very plaintively of her white pet. T have waited and waited and you don't lay any Easter eggs at all. and cook said You were going to lay such beautiful ones. But they are all just white. They don't look bit like Easter eggs"
 The little hen hung her head She had just started to say:
 But I can't lay any other kind of eggs. Anyway, Easter eggs are sup posed to be laid by rabbits" But Tot Tim stepped right up and stopped her quickly.
 Don't say word" he cautioned. q will show you the most beautiful way to surprise the little, girl. Don't tell her anything but that you are sorry"

 Leapfrogged off
 There Tot Tim jumped off right over her head. Then he sat down cross-legged and told her fine plan.
 When Tot Tim had finished talk ing the little hens eyes were shining.
 She began to scratch industriously. just to show her enthusiasm and since Tot Tim had told her to keep everything very quietly-under her red comb, she did as she was bid.
 As each day went by Tot Tim hung around the premises He was the only person who knew at all that the little hen, one by one, was laying white eggs under the house in deep hole in the ground near the furnace. Nobody but a very tiny child could have crawled under to see.
 Tot Tim had advised the little hen not to cackle at all This nearly killed her, but she shut her two little bills together, and thought hard of some

 and sleep. Where many laugh but few weep; Where flowers bloom the whole year
 through And friends greet you with handclasp
 true. From the steel furnaces mighty
 flame Birmingham chose her English name. She grew just IS a child would grow. By lengths and breadths In years As mother clasps childish hand She welcomed the wanderers of the
 land. She gave them wealth of her golden
 store; She will be known forevermore. Her ships will sail on many seas And carry her standard on the
 breeze. Oh, Birmingham. My Birmingham The center of the great southland, Where people meet from every cline. Build their homes and start anew; Where the north comes south with
 friendship trus; They take again a loyal stand And pledge their all for Birmingham, In years to come we'll see our Birmingham, our "country's oueenw When from Shades Valleys golden
 store Is mined and mined her great iron
 ore, In just two spots much treasure lies, And Birmingham claims one her
 prize. So in our dreams well may we see Birmingham blazoned on land and
 sea, With ships of steel and houses on That come along from Birmingham. Oh. Birmingham! Our Birmingham! well look away across the sea And see great ships that come from

perts of such governments The dele gates at Genoa will come from nearly all European countries and will in clude Germ any and Russia.
 The restoration of Russia Is de- pendent upon the flow of capital and skilled labor into that country. Neither one nor the other is likely to be attracted until sovereignty can be guaranteed. The government at Mos COW must undertake complete respon- sibility for the debts and the restora- ton of properties of the nationals of other countries as well as the safety of other ca pital and labor that might go in to replace that which has been lost or killed.
 The soviet delegates at Genoa have insisted that they are there rather as creditors than as debtors, as injured innocents suffering from the results of aggressio on of capltalistic countries Instead of representatives of sys- tenn of government which has been tried in the balance and found want ing.
 Make-BeIieve Position
 It is to be hoped that this will prove merely a make-believe posi- tion.and that the delegation will be found in a more reasonable frame of mind when the proceedings open. Russian admission into the comity of nations depends upon the dgree to which she can restore confidence as to her future intentions toward those who may be willing to help in again placing her upon her feet.
 World recovery likewise largely depends upon the degree to which the nations will agree to lessen their armament. Here again the key is in Russia's hands. She probably has un- der arms the largest army in the world. Disarmament elsewhere de- pends entirely on that Moscow is willing to do.
 Next in immediate importance at Genoa will be the problem of fluc- tuating exchange. Trade between the several nations Is impossible while these daily changes in the rates take place. Nations with great power to produce suffer from the poverty of their erstwhile customers These are but truisms which have been oft repeated yet but little needed. It remains for Genoa to act upon these realities and to get the nations of the world to follow the lead which will be given them. If that Is done Genoa may indeed be- come the turning point from the long period of gloom and depression to- ward the time of peace and pros- perity.

PRESENTS STATUE

 CITY OF PORTLAND
Coe Had Known the Former President When a Cowboy. Harding Invited to Un-
 veil Monument
By Associated Press


 Portland, Ore, April ,-Admira- tion for Theodore Roosevelt as a man and citizen prompted Dr. Henry Waldo Coe. a Portland physician. who knew Roosevelt as cowboy in North Dakota, to donate to the city of Portland an equestrian statue of the former President. The statue 'is now being made by Phimister Proc tor, noted sculptor. It is expected to be finished some time this coming summer and President Warren G.. Harding has been asked to officiate at the unveiling, if the statue is fin- ished at the time the President makes his proposed wetsern trip.
 When Roosevelt lived at Medora, Dr. Coe was at Mandan, and they met as hunters Dr. Coe had some hunt ing dogs that Roosevelt liked very well, and Roosevelt used to visit Man. dan region where the hunting was better than around Medora In later years Dr. Coe visited with Roosevelt, in his train. while the President was making a western trip, and relates that when they reached Medora Roosevelt insisted upon shaking hands with every person in the town.
 The statue is of heroic size, being 13 feet high above the base. An archi- tect is to be engaged to design the base, which will be about 10 feet high. A site for the statue has been chosen in centrally located park.
 pr. Coe plans to place somewhere In North Dakota the cast from which the statue Is made. Mandan, Minot the place has not yet been selected and Bismarck have asked for 1t, but

FRENCH TRACTOR SIMPLE

To all intents and purposes the or dinary farm tractor Is more or less skillful adaptation of the pria- ciples of operation embodied in the automobile. Moreover. these tractors. as a rule, are adapted for hauling the same kind of farm implements s as are used with horses. A novel type of tractor. described and H. frustrated in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, has been constructed in France that has little more in com mon with the ordinary motor car than the fact that it Is driven by an nternal-combustion engine. Tho mo- tor and It's adjuncts, as well as the wheel and its supports and the watsr- cooling radiator. form a unit that is pivoted in horizontal circular frame. to which can be attached any suitable means for hauling the im- plements, as well as trailer which supports on two small wheels, the seat for the driver.

SSIA IS THE REAL .,OBLEM OF GENOA, BARNES DECLARES
Success of Economic Confer ence Depends Upon Atti- tude of Soviet Delegates.
 Must Reduce Army
By GEORGE N. BARNES British Parliament Leader

special Wireless Dispatch to The AEe-He raid
 Copyright, 1929. by The Age-Heraldl
 London, April S.-All eyes are turned today toward Genoa, where the much discussed economic confer ence opens on Monday. The crux of the proceedings there must be the attitude that is to be adopted toward the Russias and the manner dis played by the soviet representatives toward the rest of the affiliated mankind.
 The outstanding fact about Russia. of course, Is that sovietism has been a dismal failure and has landed Rus sia in ruins. It now becomes the task of the world statesmen to get Russia back into the orbit of interna- tiona1 trade and, judging from recent declaration of the Moscow spokesmen, 1t Is sovietism itself that stands in the way.
 i. As I foretold in these dispatches Lloyd George, after appearing on the bcene, has got his vote of confidence From the Commons. The Genoa de- bates have disclosed the weakness of the policy of opposition to the con ference for 1t was both incoherent and inconsistent. The vote was taken on a motion apart from any opinion of lack of confidence because Nhe opposition declared that If 1t ould not have everything it desired it would have nothing. It declared fthat neutrals who had done nothing to win the war had no right now to Astep in and decide the terms of peace.
 Vote Down Resolution
 It was little wonder, then, that by "a vote of to i the House of Com mons voted down the resolutions Icondemning the governments pro- gram and that the prime minister has gone to Genoa strengthened by renewed expressions of faith on the part of the British Parliament.
 The conference opening Monday Is the first of It's kind since the war. All others have been of the allied and associated governments or of the ex-
