FALL PUNISHED
 NAVAL OFFICERS
Charged With Removing Those
 Who Opposed "leapOt" Plans

Washington. Nov. 2.-Former Sec retary Fall demanded the transfer from Washington of naval officers who objected to leases he proposed to make on naval oil reserves, Comman- der H. A. Stuart of the navy testified today before thezsenate public lands committee. investigating the subject.
 Commander stuart, who testified he lad been in charge of the naval re- serves in the navy department from 1918 until April 5, 1922. said Secretary Fall had insisted that Secretary Den by should detach him and Comman- der Shafroth and sent them out of Washington. Commander Shafroth, he explained. also was connected with the reserve section.
 The witness said the demand was made after the two officers had pre- stented to Mir. Fall their objection to the granting of certain leases which he proposed to make to the United Midway company to open wells on naval reserve number l, in California.
 During the period the navy depart ment had complete control over the reserves nothing had developed, Com mander Stuart asserted, which made it desirable in his judgment to trans fer their administration to the in- terior department.
 Tho navy, he said, in handling the reserves had received all necessary assistance from the geological survey and the, bureau of mines and was fully confident to administer them.
 No naval officer. Commander Stuart testified, had approveds the transfer. Replying to an inquiry from Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, he said that although he had been in direct charge of the naval reserves for sey< eral years he was not criticised by Secretary Dcnby concerning the de- sira bility of such a course.

COW DEFAULTS IS QUARTS.
Bossy Failed to Fulfil Guarantee, So
 Buyer Gets Rebate.

Hartford. Nov. 2.-when. a COW guaranteed to produce IS quarts of milk daily gives only 10 quarts, how much less than the purchase price or s170 is she worth, was a problem Judge Dickinson had to settle in court here yesterday. The question arose in a suit on a note for s9O given by the purchaser as a part payment for the COW.
 The buyer contested payment on the ground that shrinkage Of eight quarts daily in the guaranteed pro- auction represented a S60 loss since he purchased the COW. Judge Dick inson. after much figuring. fixed the loss at s45 and rendered judgment accordingly.

Chasing Butterflies.

1t is a lovely day in spring. The sky
Is blue and high, and scraps Of white
cloud skip across 1t. playing tag with
the sunbeans. Soft little breezes play
in and out among the blossonling trees.
scattering soft showers Of perfulned
petals on the sweet smelling brown
earth. freshly upturned to the life bear
ing sun.
Out in the fields little children bend
over rows OF green growing Things.
With finger and thumb they pinch out
the crowding plants. The sun is warm
on their bent backs. Their fingers
ache with the cramping ache of fixed
and weary muscles. Their backs stiffen
and complain in sharp creaking ascents
of pain.
Huddled between the close rows, their
bodies crouch on bent knees until child
they stasger upright and draw long
breaths Of the sweet air, and stretch
out their aching hands to the comfort
ing sunshine.
A dancing butterfly dares one little
fellow to chase him, and he runs after
him, forgetting. Hither. thither. he
runs now close to the taunting beauty.
now gazing after him as he scars toward
the blue, simmer of colorful buoyant
glee.
Childhood was given us that we might
have our day of chasing butterflies. They
were made dazzlingly lovely for just
that end. loveling things to send smiles
Of JOY ripping over the hearts and
the faces of dancing children.

Labor Is bitter to childhood. It

to do-this grinding the face Of child

Childhood is distinctly. the time for
play.
And shall not children learn to
work? Shall not they learn to carry
the burden and the heat Of the day as
their fathers have done"
Yes. of course! No man escapes.
But children learn to work through
play, and the freer and sweeter and
cleaner the play is the finer the work
will be when it's day comes.
But no child should be forced to
labor for his living. Every child

Pocket Adorned With Long Tassel
ny ANNE RITTENHOUsE

The history Of the evolution OF
pockets or their substitutes would
present a broad survey Of the whole
history Of costume.
The watch, 1t is said, had every
thing to do with the development Of
the conventional pocket now found
In mems coats. Sir Walter Ralefgh's
coat was not embellished with many
pocke kets--but then Sir Walter Ra-
leigh didn't carry a watch.
In many oriental countries the wide,
tightly drawn girdle on a mans cos
characteristic of the Japanese to
carry his small folded fan in his gir-
die, and the Persian merchant, or
scribe. they say, can carry the whole
paraphernalia of his business trans
actions securely tucked in his wide
rirdle.
The pocket has become enormously
important in Women's clothes within
the last ten or twelve months-not
the victorian pocket tucked away
discretly In the folds of a bouffant
skirt, but the pocket that assets itself
boldly somewhere about the costume
anywhere so long as it is conspic-
uouS.
And the reason for this?
The ornamental handkerchiefs, TO
be sure.
First they We're small squares of
colored linen. notably green, and no
smart French street frocks seemed
/" be complete without at least one
EYeen handkerchief Often these
-aEGkerchiefS were sewn into the
pocket by the dreSSmaker The larger
bandana or batik handkerchief sue
ceeded. One of the ways this was dis
played was hanging from pocket.
So pockets became quito essential,
and they persist in the new clothes.
even when lhoy are net the excuse
for decorative handkerchief, but are
Il bit of decoration ali by themselves.
1t is "A favorite trick to have just
one pocket on Your jaquette or slip
on blouSe-placed over the right hip
and arcentuated by one long silk tas
sci. Sometimes sweaters of knitted
wool or silk show this same partiality
for the ornamental tasSei and pocket
In place of the usual taSSel OF strands
o. silk the taSSel idea may be carried
out in ends of ribbon. This is the de-
vice employed in the wash blouse of
white handkerchief linen shown in
tho stretch 1t has a narrow border
Of green around its various edges
and green ribbon of the same shade
forms a necktie-which doesn't tie
by the way-and the -taSSel on the
small patch pocket at the right side.

Black Shadows to come creeping out

Well have to start looking again
the very first thing in the morning..
declared Mrs. Dru~sfner she led the
way to the Secr~ place where they
We're in the hat-. of spending their
nights.
Don't you t:.tnk We had better go
over to the I'll tnn Forest? There are
plenty Of dea>A trees over there said
Drummer.
Perhaps" fepliod Mrs. Drummer.
and said nothing more.
But early the next morning as soon
as they had eaten their breakfast
didn't head toward the Green Forest
Instead she headed straight back for
Farmer Browns. She didn't waste
any time in the Old Orchard. but flew
over to maple tree growing close to
Farmer Browns house. Now in this
tree there was one big. dead stub of
a branch. Farmer Brown had long in
tended to cut it off. but had kept put
ting it off. Mrs. Drummer flew
straight to this dead stub of a branch.
She looked 1t over carefully while
Drummer watched.
Il think this will do nicely" said
she at last We'll get right to work
and make a new home here. This
wood is a little hard, but l guess we
can manage it all right"
But We haven't looked around in
the Green Forest at ALL" Drummer
protested. II am sure we could find
wood that would be easier to work IN.
Why. my dear. are you so set on be-
ing near Farmer Browns house"
Mrs. Drummer had already begun
work. Back and forth back and
forth her head flew as with her stout
little bill she cut out tiny chips.
When at last she stopped to rest she
replied to Drummer's question.
Because" said she, Il believe this
is the safest place for us. Mr.. Black
snake isn't likely to come over here.
He is likely to visit the Green For
est. But if I know anything at all
about him he will keep away from
Farmer Browns house. l tell you
right now, Drummer, | never would
have an easy moment if ] had home
where Mr.. Blacksnake would be al
all likely to pay us a visit We have
got to hurry and get this house done
a soon as possible. We shall be late
with our housekeeping as it is" Back
and forth. back and forth Mrs. Drum
