1t was great fun playing Ting and
queen Of Beanstalk Land, and Nancy
. and Nick enjoyed every minute of it
The real king and queen had gone
on a journey TO help the people they
had been mean TO, among others the
widow of the dreadful giant Jack hac
killed. She was left without cent
not even the golden eggs-when Jack
ian off with them TO the earth. And
the kingsand queen had never bothered
their heads about her since.
So Nancy and Nick had sent them
to her with all sorts of good things
and some money for her old age. They
never forgot that she had been so
kind to Jack and had warned him that
her husband was n bad man, and tried
to hide him. 1t was no fault of hers
when the giant smelled him and said
'Fe-fi-fo-fum. l smell the blood of
an Englishmun
Besides there were the children of
all the giants that Jack-the-Giant-
Killer had killed.
The king and queen of Beanstalk
Land promised to look after all Of
them. too. and not return TO the palace
until it was done.
And in the meantime. as I said
before, Nancy and Nick had gor-
geous time.
Paddyfoot Purr, the queens cat,
was very kind 10 them. OF course,
he was quite small. to the giants. but
TO the Twins he was as big as a camel
would be to you or me.
IF you wish to ride" he offered,
Il shall be most happy to take you
both on my back any place you wish
to 60"
THAT will be fine" cried both the
Twins together. And so Paddyfoot
Purr lay down while they scrambled
en-, and then rose and walked males
tically through the palace and down
the steps, while all the court people

"Where to now?' asked Paddyfoot
Purr. Would you like TO see the
royal goldfish, or the royal mouse

As he spoke his mouth watered so
that he had to lick his whiskers over
and over again.
Were not cats. :" laughed Nancy,
pulling his ear. Suppose YOU take
us to the royal sugar-plum store or
the royal toy-shop or the movies"
"Ma'am. said Paddyfoot Purr
with dignity. I'VE have no such

That's all right" said Nick. "or

So around to the kitchen door strobe
Paddyfoot, licking his whiskers at
every other step at the thought of the
treat he was going TO have.
But suddenly. just as he was about
to jump on his favorite garbage can
where every day Cook laid a nice
dried herring for his dinner, a large
mouse ran across their path and into
a drain.
Quick as flash Paddyfoot went
after him, forgetting all about his her

II don't know" shouted Nick. But

The drain was as dark as n tunnel.

NEW YORK, March 1-Uncer-
tainty in respect to proposals for
tax readjustments exerted a re-
straining influence on bond trading
during the past week. Values
swayed back and forth in reflection
of alternately fading and brighten
ing hope regarding a constructive
outcome of the political maneuvers,
but firmness was established in the
closing sessions of the week when
reunity of the Republican factions
made the passage Of the tax reduc-
ton bill carrying the Longworth
compromise rates virtual fact.
Gilt.edged securities ended strong,
being also helped by the prospect
Of easier money.
The market, however, was not
without interesting developments.
Some wide speculative movements
Of opposing nature occurred, which
served to heighten the irregular
appearance Of the general list. Fore
most were the bonds of the fertilizer
companies, especially those Of the
Virginia Carolina Chemical Company.
Reports that affairs of the company
were in poor shape and that Of.
ficials were discussing with bankers

demoralizing effect on the com.

Large investment holdings were
thrown over regardless Of price,

DETROIT, Mich, March 1.-Main
plants and branches Of the Ford
Motor Car Company use annually
more than 100000 freight cars. one
fifth Of the freight motor car own
ership in the country, according to
a statement given out today.
The average freight charges paid
through the Detroit offices direct to
railroads, those paid by branches
on minor shipments and freight
charges on direct charges made
from manufacturing institutions to
branches, approximate $7S,200, 900
annually. Added to this, about
SIS, 100000 by dealers on shipments
OF autos received by them brings
a conservative figure of $150,000, 900
paid every year in freight charges
through the activities Of the Ford
Motor Company.
An average of 800 carloads. Of
freight is handled every day in and
out Of the Highland Park and River
Rouge plants alone, and it is es-
timated that on the Ford Motor
Company's account $4,000, 900 pounds
OF freight in carload lots is handled
every day in the Detroit. district
shipping space economies, effected
through the companys methods,
are seen in. the fact that while
parts shipments to the assembly
branch plants, are figured at ten
units per- freight car, in rail ship
ments of completed cars from the
branches to the dealers, only six
assembled Ford cars and trucks
can be loaded into a standard thirty
six-foot box car. The larger part
of the. Ford freight is shipped with
the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton
Ford's own railroad, as either the
initial or participating carriers, and
special attention is paid to the clas-
styling Of all freight, so that not
only the company but the dealer
as we'll receives the benefit Of
expert service in freight classified
ton and rate adjustments. Divert
ing traffic to the Detroit, Toledo
and Ironton Railroad is responsible
in measure for the fact that this
road, which previously had been
operated at a loss, showed i profit
of more than $1,0O0,000 the past
fiscal year.

M'FADDEN BANK
BILL BLOCKED
!. BY DAWES
Declares National Banking
System in Critical Condition
and Urges Early Action.
BY HARRY GUSACK.

Endorsement of the McFadden bill
revising the national banking laws,
Is contained in letter sent yester-
Gay by Comptroller of the Currency
henry M. Dawes to Congressman
McFadden, chairman of the House
COMMITTEE on Banking and Cur
,rency.
Mr.. Dawes, in indorsing the
branch banking provision Of the
bill, said that it will stop the fur
Their extension of branch banking
within the Federal Reserve System
and remove the danger of it's de-
Velopment to menacing proportions"
The situation has developed to
such a point that 1 believe that
the Federal Reserve System itself
and the banking institutions of the
United States are vitality concerned
In the question as to whether or
not the national banks are to
be permitted to meet their COM
petitorS in a fair field, with no
favors shown" said Mr.. Dawes. II
am convinced that the cumulative
effect Of all of the suggested
changes will have a radical in
fluence in emancipating the national
banks from the handicaps under
which they have been operating,
and that the net result will be
that the system will increase in
size and strength in way fully
commensurate with the growth of
the country and the requirements
Of the Federal Reserve System.
Branch banking carries the
principle of Capitalization into bank
ing. 1t means absentee control over
local finance, and is in its essence
monopolistic. 1t is utterly un-
American. The banks Of the United
States do not want it, and the
people will not have it."
