The Woman
Who Sees
Chicken Trees.

Chicken Trees.
The Girl was prepared for all the
wonders of Cape Cod. the cranberry
boys, the sand dunes. old landmarks and
historical tales, but she didn't antici-
pate a chicken tree But her young
niece insisted she must come to see the
chicken tree. So on the Dennis road
they started, and sure enough in the
back of a wide old fashioned house,
were about a dozen or two short young
fruit trees just bowed down with white
clucking hens. There they sat and
clucked, the silly looking things as they
prepared to rose for the night. The
Girl discovered that the house belonged
TO mold bachelor whose hobby was
chicens. So he let them roam around
nthis large fenced in combination of
garden and orchard and they revealed
in lucious long grass, an occasional
berry bush or vine, and scorned the
low wooden coops provided for them
along the fence for the airier roosts at
night, and grew fat and white and
fluffy looking enough to belong on a
fairy tale chicken tree. The children
at the hotel were delighted with the
idea, and came down each day at sun
down to watch the chicen trees, and the
Girl owns up that they were enough
of novelty to her to coax her down
several times. But then anything can
happen on Cape Cod!

Celebrating Birthdays

jeans daddy brought home a brand
new American flag, which was duly
hoisted out on all legal holidays. Jean
was beguiled by the pretty flag and
always watched the ceremony of it's
hosting. On February - she inquired
why it was being unfurled, to be told
that it was Lincoln's Birthday and the
flag was hung out to celebrate the
holiday. She asked the same question
on Washingtons Birthday and was
given the same answer. Then in May
Jean had a birthday coming and she
was very much excited over the secret
arrangements that mother was making.
When the day arrived she jumped out
of bed, ran to the window and popped
her head out. She drew 1t in again
and throwing herself into her little
bed she burrowed her head into the
pillow and walled loudly. Her mother,
greatly alarmed, ran to see what the
trouble was. and between sobs and
tearss Jean stammered out: You don't
love met Boo, hoo! You han govt the
flag for everybodys birthday but mine!
Boo, hoo! And to maintain peace with
in the family circle and bring joy to
the daughter of the house mother had
to formally hang the flag out.

 Preparations are being made to sub init the question to President Hard ing for final decision when he re- turns here from his vacation in Flor ida. Provisions of the treaty are be- ing carefully studied, and the con- clusions reached will be put Eefore the President and probably accompa- nied by an opinion written by Sec retary Hughes.

The result of such a controversy, It was -tated. might be to promote g. competitive @ program for naval moderni-atbon among all the powers.
 Beyond this, some officials believe a feeling might be created between
