NATIONAL PARK TO BE LOCATED
 IN BLUE RIDGE
zoo Square Miles In Vir- ginia Chosen For First
 Eastern Reserve

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Selection of the Blue Ridge mountains of Vir- rinia as the site for the first great na- tional park of the east was announced today by Secretary Work of the interior department, who proposed that it be es- tablished and named the Shenandoah National park The region was declared the most desirable because of it's scenic, historic and recreational qualities and because it is within a days travel of more than 4O,000,OO0 population. The choice was based on a report to the secretary from the Southern Ap- palachian National Park committee, headed by Representative H. w. Tenn pie of Pennsylvania, which during the past eight months had made an exten- sive tour of inspection of many pro- posed sites. White Sulphur Springs, W. Va, and Mammoth Cave, Ky, were among the sites urged for selection.
 Other Sites Considered
 While the Great Smoky mountains, of Tennessee, North Carolina and Vir- ginia were described as superior to the Blue Ridge mountains in altitude and some other features, the latters access sibility to population centers won the committees favor. Hope was expressed by the committee that the Shenandoah park would be established and that it's success would encourage congress to create a second park in the Smoky mountains, which lie some 300 miles distant southwest.
 No Cost Estimate
 Although no effort was made to es- tfmate the cost of acquiring the Blue Ridge area, which embraces, 700 square miles in eight counties between Front Royal and Waynesboro, the committee expressed belief that through con- structive cooperation between Virginia and some large landholders, reasonable prices and probably some donations might be expected.
 The mountains on the site overlook valleys where battles of the Revolu- tion and Civil wars were fought and where several presidents were born.
 Establishment of a national park called the Shenandoah National park in the Blue Ridge mountains of Vlr. ginia would be authorized under a bill introduced today by Representative Temple, republican, Pennsylvania. .
 The bill authorizes the secretary ot the interior to determine the exact boundaries of the park, specifying that this must lie east of the south fork of the Shenandoah river and between Front Royal on the north and Waynesboro on the south. A committe eof five members and an appropriation of $lo.- GOO would be authorized to carry out tho act

SURPLUS SUPPLY
 LOWERS BUTTER
Principal Markets Experience
 Sharp Declines

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Surplus sup plies and lack of demand caused by the relatively high price levels which had existed for two weeks caused sharp de clines in the principal butter markets during the week.
 Reduction in storage holdings was nearly 100000 pounds less than the previous week but much greater than the corresponding period last year, a condition which some operators consld- cred lent firmness to the market sltua- tion. Larger receipts of fresh butter were taken as an indication of contln- ued increase in production.
 Closing wholesale prices and range 92 score butter at the principal markets follow: Chicago 2la cents less at Al cents; New York 112 cents at 434. cents; Boston ? cents less at 43 cents and Philadelphia 1 cent less at 4412 cents.

COMPETITION KEEN
 N GERMAN HOTELS
Touring Tax Is Repealed, Cheap
 ening Living Abroad

BERLIN, Dec. 13.-The repeal of the special 800 marks tax on Germans going abroad has intensified the com petition among German hotelmen, for it gives the German tourist chance to go to foreign countries where he can live cheaper-and more comfortably than in his own home country.
 Under the pressure of this competi- tion German hotel keepers are trying their utmost also to obtain the repeal of the "Beherbergungs Steuor," spe- cial dwelling tax levied on each guest in the hotel and amounting in some in stances to the price of the hotel room.
 Several cities have already repealed this tax, anon g them Frankfurt on Main, Augsburg, and Kreuznach, while others, like Berlin, have greatly reduced the rate.
 City treasurers, however, do not want to lose this hen that laid the golden eggs and they propose that the hotel keepers should first of all reduce their prices, which are far above pre-war rates.

Little Stories For Bedtime
Reddy Fox Bldes And Broods
By THoeMToN V. BvRaEss

"O bide means to wait, and to
 brood means to keep thinking
 and thinking about unpleasant things. Reddy Fox was doing both up in the Old Pasture. You remember that that is where he went after his unpleasant meeting win Jimmy Skunk. It was the only place for him to go be- cause of that dreadful perfume which Jimmy Skunk had thrown on him. He just had to go away by himself, and the most lonely place he knew of was up there in the Old Pasture. He kept out of sight as much as possible, only coming out at night to hunt for his food. He was ashamed to be seen and still more ashamed to be smelled, and no one could go anywhere near him without smelling that perfume of Jim my Skunk's.
 It wasn't so much that no one but Jimmy Skunk himself liked that per fume that made Reddy ashamed. No, indeed, it wasn't that. It was because he knew that when his neighbors smelled it they would know right away that he hadn't been smart enough to keep out of trouble with Jimmy Skunk. They would know without being told that Jimmy had had the best of that meeting. The truth is it was because his pride had had a regular topsy-tur- " tumble that Reddy felt so ashamed. You know he is very smart He knows it, toe. In fact, he likes to think him. self the smartest of all the little mead ow and forest people. And so it hurt his pride dreadfully to have his neigh bors know that he had been in trouble with Jimmy Skunk and got the worst of it.
 But what hurt his pride still more was the suspicion that Peter Rabbit had been at the bottom of that trouble and had planned to get him into it. It was only suspicion at first, but the more he thought about it the more certain he became in his own mind that Peter had planned to make him run against that barrel.
 II believe he knew all tn time that Jimmy Skunk was inside and that that barrel would roll down hill if hit it hard enough. At first I thought it was all an accident, but now I'm not so sure about it." he muttered. T believe Peter Rabbit did it just to get me in this fix. If I ever get hold of him he'll wish he hadn't. He'll wish he'd never been born That's what he'll wish hell wish he'd never been born !" Reddy glared at nothing the way he would have glared at Peter had he been there. Somehow it made him feel bet ter to glare that way and make dread ful threats. suspect that he would

Granny didn't really mean that. But Reddy knew that 1t wouldn't do for him to go near her until every bit of that perfume was gone, and that would not be for long time. So he just sneaked about up in the Old Pasture and brooded over his troubles, which Is 2 very bad, thing for any one to do, and the more he brooded the worse his temper became. : All the time Peter Rabbit and DanI ny Meadow Mouse and Johnny Chuck and the other little people whom Red dy is forever trying to catch, were re- joicing that they did not have to worry about him. It was a great relief not to have, to be watching out for Reddy Fox every time they poked their heads out of their homes. To. be sure, old Granny Fox had to be watched out for, and also Old Man Coyote, but it is al ways easier to watch out for two than for three, and so, though Reddy was missed on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest, it was in a very nice way. s6, !
 At least they thought so. But once in a while little shiver would go over them when they thought of the time when he should come back. You see they knew perfectly well that he would do his best to make trouble for them just to make up for the time that they had been free from him. But they made the most of their opportunity. and while Reddy brooded all by him. self up in the Old Pasture they rejoiced in the glad springtime and were happy, which is very much the way of all the great world.
